First of all, I'm an old dude...53 years old. Love these guys since the beginning...when I tell people about them they're like who? And i love that! Don't change guys! I even turned my 15 year old to you guys and he's like 'Dad, youve been holding out on me!' Please come to Kansas City or St Louis for a show...we will be front row...me and my walker
We only found them supporting The Cure (with 2 other bands who were nowhere near as good). The JF went first & ended with this song which was instantly my favourite. Awesome band. So glad we found them.
While it is nice to see them break out on American TV live they had to edit the length of the song for the show. To see a really great version of them live in America check out their performance " The Joy Formidable - Whirring (Live on KEXP)" on youtube.
LOVE THIS BAND! MUST SEE LIVE, PLEASE!!!
When I saw this on TV, it reminded me there was still life on this planet. What a performance. Such energy.
Love the bands from Wales, Gene loves jezebel 1986,since I've been smitten,the joy formidable likewise

The Joy Formidable play fucking loud and I love them to bits for it.
A wonderful noise from a pixie 🏴Welsh woman and her bandmates 🏴
visiting back-- probably the most under-appreciated band in the last decade
Lol.
I never heard of the Joy Formidable until this appearance. If made me get the album and start following them. What a lively performance.
Great album as well..
@@joshmartins560 They killed this performance
I saw them at Firefly Festival in Dover Delaware
A beautiful wall of sound.
She is my Spirit Animal.
‘North Whales’ 😂
Dude smashes the drums like Grohl.
25 years ago this would have been up there with Hole, Garbage, etc
Honestly, it's an injustice they aren't.
Probably better since they record their English songs into Welsh versions.
Love this song. Wonderful performance.
Great performance! Fantastic, exuberant chorus and marvelous ending!
Exquisite
One of the most fun concerts you can see. They always bring it.
They are just fuggin amazing
I love you The Joy Formidable
Love the drummer
literally laughed my ass off at 3:46 when Ritzy kicked the kick drum near the end
Going to see them live for the third time tonight! Always give 100% one of my favorite bands!!
incredible.....
Amazing 😀
posted all that while I watched.... this is now one of my fave videos.... good quality and better than the dam video... thanks Sean.
this is better than the official video for this song...

That's how you do it
Amazing. That’s how how you get a road worn guitar. Play it hard with passion. These musicians Wail!
wow this is 2k quality video of the joy .. nice Sean.... very nice
Letterman at 4:13: "I enjoyed that!"
He was a stiff that night. How can you sit next to that, and not be going through the roof ?
"Great job!"

Brilliant!!!
peeweetoms brought me here.. r.i.p
Amazeballs. 💝
One of the best performances on his show, and one of his worst.
TIL Dave can't pronounce "formidable" correctly.
He said good job like they’d just installed a shower screen. He didn’t get it.
That’s one fucking badass bitch. Performs like the female Cobain. Unreal. Just absolutely brilliant.
hahahahaha Ritzy is so cute man hahahaha at the end hahaha
It's The Joy For-MID-able
spracejus can’t it be both ways?
Amazing
The old people in the audience were like holy shit, what is this noise? Double bass and fast licks.
Sadly, this is a neutered version… It’s typically many more joyous minutes longer.
Truth. What's incredible about the band, and specifically this song is that even the neutered version is still a great song.
Think of it as an appetizer
Epic.
Ritzy appears to have like six Tube Screamers stacked atop one another. @3:18
I just realized my miserable friend is myself.
these could've been massive.
I miss dave.... I really miss him...
And he seemed to miss the band. Had he already retired ?
Coulda fooled me, looks like an )-(. Great song, miss Letterman.
I knew about them by the newer NFS Most Wanted, now here I am, a big fan. Also, isn't her strumming technique/pattern weird?
Show me a late night tv with more energy--EVER!😮
what an adorable rock star. ritzy kicks @ss.
+miked4309 Exactly! I've always thought 'cute' is not enough to describe Ritzy xD
Okay so I've decided I need to do more cid.
fucking unbelievabvle...was Letterman there when they played ?
I love this song but damn that outro is incredibly long. Even longer on the album
lol @ the people upset at Dave for not being super enthusiastic. I have to assume you have *no idea* who Dave Letterman is.
