Now after 1 year of having seen this video, I return to see this performance again and I realize some details that I omitted the first time I saw it, and now I think this is one of their best performances ever. The selection of songs was meticulously chosen and rehearsed, it shows in songs like "gas and matches" or "When they really get to know you", very tight arrangements. Dave as always, singing with his heart on a string, and delivering falset vocals with great technique. The rhythmic base was very well oiled, the guy did not miss a single beat. But the reason why I think this is one of their best performances is the idea that Dave took over the bass, leaving Eric Walters on guitar. I felt that Eric smoothly merged with the DNA of the PTL songs, but he brought his own personal touch, which took them songs to a whole new level of expression. The dynamics of quiet and loud sound, the dissonant notes that he let resonate all over the room, giving the songs space, and letting the other instruments breathe; and that exquisite selection of effects to highlight certain parts of the songs. The tone of the guitar in general is fabulous. The only thing that I kind of miss was the vocal harmony arrangements that are no longer so present, however this version of Pedro the Lion is undoubtedly one of the best there has been, they sound amazing. Long live Pedro the lion.
I remember hearing the opening notes to The Only Reason I Feel Secure and falling head over heels of Pedro and Bazan. The first band to make me cry because the story told was so beautiful it felt like it was real. Pedro will always be one of my favorite bands period. Bazan is the greatest lyricist of the past few decades.
Primera vez que los escucho... Enseguida te das cuenta que son una banda con grandes aprendizajes atras. Un sonido muy definido, contundente, melancólico y ajustado milimétricamente. Ya tienen un nuevo fan! ♡
Dear David, I have been supporting your work (both solo and with PTL) for many years now and your latest record is probably your most balanced and mature. Thanks for this great record, it's exciting and heartfelt. Kudos to the rest of the band as well. It's not easy to make a trio sound so rich but you guys pull it off. Finally, as a drummer, I love what your drummer is doing with such a small drum set. Love the dark tones of the ride/crash (Should be a Sabian from the Big & Ugly series if I am not mistaken). Greetings from an Italian fan!
Hey man, do you speak Italian? I'm from Milan and really like your comment, it's rare to read someone understand so good this (apparently) simple and straight kind of drumming. Would like to get in contact, I'm a drummer too, but currently working on a project as bassist and looking for simple but smart and stilish drummer😉. Let me know.

Working, click latest KEXP videos, cause I listen to the music often in the background. After about 10 seconds, I am like; I recognize this song and voice and really enjoyed it before. Now I know who this is, Pedro the Lion a truly underrated band with flowing melodic tones. Thanks again KEXP
Pedro The Lion is basically David Bazan + friends, and David Bazan has been continually putting out some of my favorite music for years. Definitely check out the discography under his name. Also check out Lo Tom, another group he was/is in.

Absolutely correct.
I saw this lineup in Tempe around this time period…. Can you tell me…. Is this the same lineup from the last year or so? Thanks my guy 👊🏽
Quietest Friend live is one of the best songs of the this decade, period.
Are you from Brazil?

Holy shit, this is one of the best sounding most accurate live performances I’ve ever heard
the tone of that tele is unreal
The way Dave presents a song to us is a gift. Thank you.

Hell yeah you get a subscription just for being a fan of David
The groove on When They Really Get to Know You... tight. Nice refreshing of a classic Pedro tune. Well done, guys.
i just thinking that. Really dig it for this track.
Anyone who gave this a thumbs down is an idiot. This is an amazing set, by a amazing group of musicians.
Lots of people don’t appreciate well written music like this. 😐 Their loss.
Thank you KEXP for this awesome performance. I can never get enough Pedro the Lion/David Bazan videos.
Hl3 confirmed
What a great live mix! Good work as always KEPX

I haven’t seen Dave in almost 10 years. Last time we hung out I got overcharged for Whole Foods pizza...like $240 for 5 pizzas, no joke.
Yellow bike is a masterpiece!

By listening to only the first track I was taken back to the late 90s. What an exciting musical discovery. Keep up the great job!
Amo essa banda!!!
acho que nao estamos sozinhos nesta :)
Caras, to na segunda música e estou gostando hein haha
Infelizmente ele não tocou My Phoenix, é uma das minhas favoritas do novo álbum, sem dúvidas.
Brasileiros que gostam de Pedro the Lion, extremamente raro
Tamo junto!
cant believe they got back together... i was there the “last time” they would ever play the control album...

@@serotoninzero So good! Lo Tom was great as well! Headphones too!
There was really no "getting back together." David Bazan just changed the name from David Bazan back to Pedro the Lion.
@@michaelpalmer3448 headphones were super!
Oh thank goodness you finally posted it back up
wow...this was a great set. I've never heard Quietest Friend. Love it.
I'll always love the era of Dave playing rhythm guitar on a bass.
Pedro the Lion is so good, sad they'll never come to Brazil...
Gas and Matches ! Awesome!
i love gas and matches it owns such a vengeful and beautiful quality
So far, the best LP of 2019. In contrast with his previous works.
WOW is this David Bazan??
congrats Pedro the Lion
Keep swinging Pedro!
I just found out about them thanks to mewithoutYou.
They're AMAZING.
Sounds good! Keep up the great work
I was at this show!
❤️💕
I thought they broke up years ago! Heck yeah!
Well, barring Dave getting dissociative personality disorder, a breakup isn't really a possibility.
Hello, my favorite song is Bad Diary Days, i like would see in live. I met her in a skateboard video 411vm issue 58, a 15 year ago :)
love it!!

Yo my ex’s brother played guitar for you guys and introduced me to your music love your shit cool you guys are fans of David too lol
Sonido Pulento!

suena a King of Leon pero con un nombre latino y mas desafinado... bless
Esta banda está desde 1995... so King of leon suena como Pedro de lion más bien...
Nada que ver una con otra banda
Great performance. Drummer hits like a 12 year old…. Bummer.
Anyone else get disappointed when David plays bass instead of guitar?
I've been a fan of Pedro the Lion since the '00s, but this was a pretty poor performance. A shame.
I agree... I feel like the drummer is not having fun
Just talk. There's no reason to scream into the mic.
I feel like they're not that good live
Casey Taylor I saw David Bazan 3 times live...some of the best shows of my life
Well you felt wrong
This sounds really close to the album version, lol. You should check the NPR Tiny Desk's Concert too, they're amazing.
David is good, but I feel like the band is... Uh... Somehow not as cohese as it should be. I don't know, it's like there's no chemistry between them.
The drummer hits like a bitch. There are a few things that make a live show good.
