This band is like Creed but just with longer songs and gaps between instrumental parts and vocals. A boring Creed, might hit close to home should one say?
it's amazing that the first album ever happened, it's amazing they got back together and recorded another album. we are so very lucky to have been there for it. thanks for the upload pitchfork
@@JimmyCasino The tiny windowframe of time it took for the original members to make the album and also the odds of them never meeting in the first place and agreeing to make a record and how off the cuff most of it was, a very unprepeared record but exectuted and recorded phenominally. It's kinda amazing the band and Never Meant happened. Not to mention Honestly, my favourite which they added lyrics to now lol
One thing I love about this band is how in sync, disciplined, and they know exactly how they want their sound to be you can see multiple members motioning to the sound guys what they want.
His recorded vocals on his albums are always in tune so when you hear him live, you can see clearly the difference. But honestly it doesn't really matter, it really is an emo trademark to sing off key...
patpatpat it’s all about personal comfort. Most people say the way I play guitar looks like it would hurt but for me it hurts to try to keep my guitar at my crotch and not lean forward a bit.
Absolute monster audio and video production going on here. Great job by pitchfork and great set by American football. Not to mention these guys play with so much joy and fulfillment. Can't wait to catch them in D.C. In november!!!
As much as I love this band, I have trouble listening to them. It brings me back to back times when I was 19 and my biggest worry was if the girl in my class had a crush on me. I have bigger worries these days, and it's tough to re-visit those carefree times knowing I will never have them again.
i have the same kind of trouble listening to them nowadays too, their first album is up there with my all time favourites, however when i listen to it - it really makes me revisit those feelings and gets me in a very depressive state like i was when i was younger (15-17) in high school and it really puts a barrier between me and enjoying the music. still awesome that they're back together and making new music though.
Yeah man, it’s truly bittersweet for me too. Happy because i had those simple and beautiful times, and said because they’re gone. This brings me back, if only for an hour or so ;)
That’s kind of what their song “Honestly?” is about- someone looking back on their problems when they were young, at the time they seemed like the biggest problems in the world but they’re older now and have new problems, and they sort of miss those “simple” ones they had. At least that’s what I get from it.
I'm 34 now and I started getting self conscious about having fun in public when I turned 30. Screw it. Have fun. Life is often boring, painful, confusing. Let it out when you have the chance. If the worst that happens is some people call you an elder emo boomer, that's pretty funny.
@@AceAndThings I'm 20 in college and learned that to some extent. I put experiences and opportunities for those over being self conscious. I still feel self conscious, but when I have fun, it doesn't matter. I've climbed out of my apartment window with a makeshift rope, worn a real pumpkin top on my head for a halloween party, it's so gratifying to have those experiences with me for life.
Didn't go to the show but went to the after show that night a random small venue that I've never been to. Ended up chatting with lead singer guy for a bit as he strolled through the bar. Cool guy. Blinked and he was gone. 30 seconds later the show busted out. It was one of the best shows I ever saw.
Why is everyone complaining about Mike's voice? He has such a unique voice, it is kind of sad and soothing at the same time and I like the fact it isn't perfect.
I mean sure that's what live performances are about and I do like them but that doesn't mean everyone would like it as well. Think of it as something like seafood or old cheese (not the best anology but the easiest).
I like his voice but he's really out of tune most of the time... I personally don't mind a few flat notes every now and then but he seems consistently out of tune, at least in this concert
just found out my friend commited suicide 2 hrs ago, literally the first thing i'm listening to is this concert. stay home is the first song and it's telling me that life is so so short.
Just saw a few of these guys play when Cap'n Jazz came through. Nate had the greatest smile on his face the whole night. Seems like a really great dude just enjoying what he's doing. I love it.
Eh, Mike has always sounded best on record. This entire set he is struggling pretty hard and definitely does not sound great. It's part of the charm though.
The Roober A lot of it is probably just that he doesn’t sound like a teenager anymore and it would be really off-putting if he were still doing his emo winging
@@HumansFreshlyBorn TBH you can adapt the song to your vocals, but he has a big problem staying in the correct tone and he tries to hard with his voice, and that is why he loses his voice. But he is forgiven of everything by making incredible music
the second song is a level six banger. friggin groovy ass drumbeat with melodic sounds coming from the left right left... then vocals just brings it all back to reality. chills..vibes...chills
I know this comment is five years old, but check out the music video for it if you haven't. To my mind, it and the video for Toe's The Latest Number do a great job of capturing ordinary life in Japan (while being fantastic songs).

This dude literally ends a set after everything with "cool thanks" and bails LOL
*45 minute long emotional musical performance*
"Cool thanks" *leaves*
They would've surely come back for an encore, hence the chill exit
@@kieranbullock02 the encorw was Never Meant
@@DivaRockFaster Did they go off and come back on? Doesn't seem like an encore to me
@@kieranbullock02 I'm not sure about that since they already did Never Meant which is usually in their Encore set. I might be wrong tho.
His voice is amazing.... You can hear the pain.... beautiful
is that why he's out of tune? what's the deal with this?
Jack Christian the comment right below this one says otherwise
His recorded vocals on his albums are always in tune so when you hear him live, you can see clearly the difference.
But honestly it doesn't really matter, it really is an emo trademark to sing off key...
@@second1814 that was almost cool
@@boonexy you know what you're right, go sing a 40 minute set of your own music bro, I'd love to see your vocal chops
this is my favorite band ever, and American Football LP1 is my favorite album of all time. Seeing these guys live would be awesome!
Never Meant sounds amazing here especially with the added percussions.
12:31 that dude is giving it all.
Is it just me or is there a surprising number of hats in the audience?
Paypahtowels every American Football aesthetic boy wears a simple baseball cap. I'm guilty of it as well, but that doesn't make it any less true
American Football fans wearing baseball hats... smh get your sports sorted out.
BobOrTerry? I don't
Emo dads unite
Matthew Gould 0
Mike really likes his Teles
And I dig that
So emotionaaaaaal
what a beautiful band
Is that drummer using traditional grip?
TheKillzone i think he learned drumming through a book on jazz drumming, so thats probably why
Yeah he taught himself, but using jazz technique rather than contemporary
TheKillzone yeah the better grip
I thought Mike once mentioned that Steve Lamos was in jazz band in high school... (edited for clarity).
iioliu
Burry me with this video, idk how
Through a lens of experience and wisdom, they play to their adolescent selves.
12:21 "My father is Ray Romano. I'm shaking beans in a fucking gourd. I should be doing more with my life."
it’s seems the mike is slowly starting to get his singing abilities back
40:08 Rabea and the Chappers
@Pitchfork glad you were able to edit out the fucking washing machine noises coming from Nicholas Jaar's set
He looks like the drummer for Cap N Jazz
Lol OBVIOUSLY
love this band
so insanely good.

Honestly? sounds so fucking good with a bass in it.

"Ahhhh-nestly!"

It's like maple sirup: how not to like this band... at least, one track or two.

I love this concert, but what I really came here to say is that the singer looks remarkably like Daniele De Rossi 🙂

I didn't know Colin Cowherd played bass for American Football....

these dudes look like divorced dads who dress like 2000's scene kids
i respect that.

Yep. Just because you get older doesn’t mean you gotta grow up. Keep doing what ya love

My back hurts just watching the drummer, as good as he is.
patpatpat he’s tall AF
patpatpat it’s all about personal comfort. Most people say the way I play guitar looks like it would hurt but for me it hurts to try to keep my guitar at my crotch and not lean forward a bit.
Was about to say the same thing, I've never seen a drummer choose to sit that high up.
patpatpat that posture is questionable for sure

Brady Myers dude, see you there! :D
His vocals are a little too dry for me but its not the worst. Would prolly just give him a bit more verb and delay but only a pinch
Except that the 6 string guitar level balance is off
vocal sounds too dry and flat wtf :0

It’s heard to determine whether the drummer is making those faces cos he’s in pain or he’s enjoying playing drums too much
I think it’s a mix of pain and passion
Too focussed for brain to make normal faces + enjoyment also
The drummer makes me so fucking happy.
I've met him, i spent some minutes talking with him and he's just soooo positive, so open minded
The drumkit sounds so sexy...
so sexual

really kills me
This guy gets better with time. He's making amazing music nowadays.
That’s called life, man.
And I'm getting older too
@@MrBuckethead3000 its so social
We're all getting older. Discovered that first album as a junior in high school and now I'm a junior in college.
Pitchfork should do a classics video about their first album
Tortoise, American Football, Explosions in The Sky , Mogwai and Ozma while being a teenager in the 2000s were some of the best times.
