This sounds better than the version on the album. The sound engineers at KEXP are fucking masters! (And the band too)
Right?
After several years of listening to this, I still can't get over how good this version is.
@@JackFou Same
yeah there on point hear...check out Charles Bradley Gary Clark Jr. or wangnhand really good
Surely you jest? These engineers, you feel, are “Masters”, i.e. par excellence, nonpareil? I’m not trying to be a shit head here, really, but I descended on the comments to vent about this very topic. Engineers par excellence is not the impression I’m left with.
How would you account for the last 2 minutes of the song? This is a very solid -...... NAY! This is a FUCKING ICE COLD and at the same time BURNING HOT solo from TWoD’s lead vocalist - I was less familiar w/ his guitar work before seeing this and, despite the atrocious mixing, it is what convinced me that he may be one of the most underrated leads in this era of pop rock.
BUT..... the mixing is downright awful! From 5:20 to the end (~ 7:00) the guitar comes thru weak and unreadable, I would expect a strong reprimand and to be removed from any high profile events for a least a year. And for 5:00 to 5:20, well, I would expect to be downright fired on the spot. Gone. And if I were in charge of that outfit, I would fire whoever was responsible for that mess. Once again, on the spot.
Sounds a bit harsh, but damn it, We’re talking the lead singer’s fucking epic 2 min solo to close out a spirited rendition of one of their best records.... oh, and did I mention .......lt’s The War on Fucking Drugs! This is a major act, a major moment. You check, double check, test, then check again to BE SURE you’ll get it right.....
My 2 cents, perhaps only worth $0.01, maybe y’all got a deal?! Anyway, thank you for reading my comment...
@@johnb1759 I agree that it's a shame that the guitar is so poorly audible during such a delicious solo. But considering that his guitar comes through pretty well for most of the song, I'm tempted to think the pedal he's stepping on at the beginning of that solo messed up the guitar level.
Greatest and most moving guitar solo ever. I feel like I'm rushing on MDMA every time that solo kicks in. Purely magical and genius
Guitar solos are barely ever cool and this one is SO COOL.
I am 62 years old, my nephew sent me a link for these guys, and they are everything that everyone says below... Listening to rock since i was 10, and this is up with the best
Absolutely agree with you, over here at 60!
@@ZemeNeniKulata How Old are U " mofo" ...remeber Rus in 68 and Munich 38
Esencia pura, larga vida…!
Hell yeah I mean sixty-year-old people definitely tore up in that generation tour they know the fundamental concepts of musical composition but nowadays people don't understand that they just download some template and rap about how they are child of a single welfare mother living on food stamps. I don't care about how you rap about having $20 bills and hoes
🤜🤛
Gotta love the drummer layin' down that steady beat. Makes everything feel alright.
someone read the pitchfork review?
the bassist keepin that steady rhythm too
love me some Charlie Hall.... :))
Good job.also the others go smoothly with it.one off the greatest songs for me.
@@Austin-wh4yi what it says?
Oh boy. I am young again, crossing half the country to see her at sunset... time flies, kids.
and far faster than you know, or can feel
I know exactly how you feel at the moment. Farewell my friend..
Beautiful man, really beautiful.
nice
I can´t imagine more appropriate way to describe this song and what it does to me than give you this quote "The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." - Pablo Picasso
cheers for that
Hit the nail on the head with that one!
What a quote
thanks for this quote, bro
I don't know what it is, the 5 senses can't account for it, but when that band rips into that guitar solo something seriously happens to me.
+Daniel Taylor Yeah. Major goosebumps. Happens on several other tunes on the Lost In The Dream album.
+Daniel Taylor Goosebumps every freakin time during the solo for me as well
Now that is onpoint Mr Taylor
Absolutely agree, there's something utterly unexplainable that happens during that solo part. It stirs me emotionally.
Daniel Taylor you're sooooo right man
The part beginning at 5:41 gets me emotional everytime, such a wonderfull guitar part and solo!
I can't stop listening at this solo
Sounds a bit like the solo at the end of bodysnatchers
On a transam, hair on the wind, ripping down a highway.
Bloody tight drummer keeping it all in place. Driving guitars, brilliant vocals. What's not to love 💕
agree completely..and this is a stellar band
and the bass player is smooth sailing all the way, with or without a pick, the keyboardist is enclosing the entire song with its dreamsynth waves, loving the drummer that gives me goosebumps with his concentrated pleasure vibe in his eyes and arms... everyone is doing an incredible job for us to live this moment over and over again... thanks to KEXP, and this sensational band "War on Drugs"... that shoots quite addictionnal songs haha.
Out of 1M views I think 1000 is from me. 6 years later, still favorite music performance, especially wooooo at 4:56
I am 65.
Remarkable music.
How can you have a two-minute long solo and still feel like you need more! It’s insane
The best version of this great song that I've heard and I've been coming back for years to see this incredible performance. The studio version is great but this is the pinnacle. Thankyou so much to all involved for creating this masterpiece. Timeless classic in my opinion.✌
Whoever the KEXP sound engineer(s) are I hope they are well paid.
Is this the best live recording ever?
Really hard to tell as we have ruclips.net/video/r8t6XJ3Xlh8/видео.html as well
That solo is still hits 6 years later, I was mind blown when I saw this band live, pure talent at best
What makes it better than other solos? I usually think they are corny, but not this one.
For me listening to this song is like going on a trip without a map, you know where you start, but you don't know where you're going to end
Totally. 💪💙
A clap !!
So Dreamy
Nailed it.
I don't want this trip to end
Every time I listen to this version, it's more and more impressive. An absoloute masterpiece of music.
exactly! I think the same way, is pure talent.
Just one of those tracks you don't want to end !
That drummer wins. Everything. All of the time.
Such a rock solid drummer, I saw them live last year. Amazing!
@@EponymousOpus WHERE!>> ? Jellies
Not saying that I disagree but man, the bassist has a pretty good groove!
Yes, for some reason he always gets my attention!
@@johndoerock these guys blow me away.
This is the rolls Royce version of this song, I must by now have more than 100 listenings
the song is finished. I can finally breathe.
Hits right on the feels.
Anyone else thinks Adam Granduciel is one of the best lyricists of this generation? Lost in the dream is pure poetry.
Most def
True
Absolutely.....
Not at all, one of the best musicians for sure though
Not sure on lyrics, sleaford mods might have the edge, but he must be the greatest active guitarist in the world. It’s like Mark Knopfler meets Springsteen. Under the pressure live is absolutely at the very pinnacle of rock and roll
I’m aim a drug addict for many years , not proud of it , I’ve had lots of downs in my life but I know so many others are suffering more . Drugs aren’t the answer plz believe me . They make your problems worse . God bless all who are going through the same ❤❤❤
this song touches my soul like no song ever has. its incredible
I feel you, bro!
Their best.
everyone should be required to listen to this song
it is amazing that KEXP can get even better versions than the studio songs, i would pay to go to a KEXP session.
would pay two small fortunes to witness such class
You can walk in off the street anytime
The only song where I've never wanted it to end, so I keep rewinding to the guitar solo over and over.
Same here one of the most epic guitar solos, major goosebumps
absoluteley agree on the guitar, is is epic
I wish this song was endless
Brooks Greene this guy knows. I always go the long way home when this one is playing.
And several years on this is still stunning and best music EVER.
Outstanding musicianship.
A work of rock art!
Best drumming face I have ever seen. Also this is way better than the studio version. Also my wiener felt very strange
during the song.
completely agree with you, this version is better
Totally doing air drums all the way through this, i even did the face
+WatermelonTanuki My wiener often feels strange....
WatermelonTanuki Maybe you need mental health care ??
leave him alone. He is happy and sexually self contenting
These guys have been popping up as a suggestion for ages . Finally let them on autoplay and in like the second song i felt like i need to enlighten the neighbourhood and turn the volume up
Kexp is the best sound studio
Goshdarnit that bass is so underrated!
Pedazo canción!!
Pedazo final!!!!
Espectaculares🔝
What more can you say. An awesome song, words, meaning, performance, one of the best songs of the last 20 years.
Best band in the last 20 years of rock. The have such a fluid sound
agrree 100%
Just got turned on to this song via a friend, and now discovered this live version. Wow. It doesn’t get better than this, and my heart and soul knows it. Excellent musicianship, excellent recording. Thankyou!
This is one of my favorite songs ever and I've watched this video who knows how many times, and I just now realized that, sometime between 5:17 and 5:37, the drummer yeeted his headphones into the shadow realm.
That solo... every time that song ends I shout GOD DAMN!!!!
Under the pressure - LIVE DRUGS is the best ever
Agree
I love this live version so much, the guitar solo is just fucking incredible and the way it builds up to it is amazing. I must have watched this video about 500 times lol
With everyone talking about the drummer... let's not forget the bass player... groovey as!!! so so so cool!!! What a performance
I'm always sad when this song finishes because the front man could play lead guitar like that for an hour and I would be spellbound - I never want this track to end - it's sublime
Adam really really pours his soul into it
Run away, I'm a traveling man
Been walking every day
I watch you as you hesitate
Walking through the rain
I bet against the company, again
They try to redefine
Everything that I know and love
Gotta know you're mine
Yeah
Feel the way that the wild wind blows through the room
Like a nail down through the heart
That just don't beat the same anymore
That might as well be gone
I'm in my finest hour
Can I be more than just a fool?
It always gets so hard to see
Right before the moon
Far away Ma there's a black sun rising overhead
As it moves through the midnight rain
How can I surround myself in time and time again?
How can I be free?
Just want to lay in the moonlight
And see the light shining
See you in the outline
It never gets too dark to find
Anybody at any time
I'm at the darkened hillside
And there's a haze right between the trees
And I can barely see you
You're like an ocean in between the waves
Masterpiece. With this song I can fly...
Gonna go out out a limb here and say this is the best guitar solo ever played with a capo on.
The guitar layered on the synths is pure magic. Does not get any better ❤
This is easily one of the best new bands to hit the stage in over twenty years. I grew up in the seventies, have been playing guitar for 45 years, and I'm hard to please. But these dudes light their shit up! Phenomenal!
This performance. Holy shit.
4 years and this live still blow my mind in million pieces, excelent performance
Richtig geile Musiker am Start!
This was when I found The War on Drugs and KEXP in one shot. Pretty nice day it was.
Playing rock music in the old school way I felt like I was in the 70's. Love this band
The first time I heard this song was this very performance as it happened, listening to the radio (Kexp) while driving. When I got to my destination, I didn't move. The song finished and the host, Cheryl Walters, was so choked up she could barely talk.
Elizabeth Alguard Like her man just rocked her world if you know what I mean
Cheryl is boss. Top girl.
Can't beat Cheril Waters
Charlie on the drums - the passion - a thing of beauty :)))
Nard-dog is killing it on the drums!
Jon Hoefs ha ha !
Lmao I thought he looked familiar
he's throw that shit DOWN
Groupe génial, le bassiste et le batteur dans le tempo, depuis que je connais ce groupe c'est l'extase
I could watch a whole gig with just this tune. It should never end.
That Firebird solo thru the phaser.....all held down by the bass and drum backbone. Momma.
For the people saying that it's only indie hipster shit. Stop putting labels on everything and try to enjoy this band is truly amazing
Le Fred who said its hipster shit ? Ill fucking kill them. This band are fucking unbelievable.
There’s a lot of indie hipster shit out there and honestly I listen to a lot of it but War on Drugs is something different ... transcends “indie hipster shit” by far and taps into something ineffable.
They’re just jealous! 😂
Haters gonna hate.
If anyone said that to me then I'd politely ask them to shit off
The drummer is monstering it! I am in awe!
Still here for it in 2019!
4:45 & 6:40 so professional . great great drummer!! and the end guitar solo is breathtaking. tears in my eye.
DRUMMERS FACE AT 4:44 WINS EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME
FUCK MAN haha
David Rosenblatt -Best rock drummer alive,listen to that snare, I'm in my 70's heard them all,these guys are the real thing!!
you should look for a live version of "go your own way" by fleetwood mac... best drummer face there too
Adam and THAT Gibson, wow!!
He looks like that wierd dude from 'third rock from the sun'.
The best band in over 20 years.!
Granducial, is on another level.
But this version is off the charts....
You never want it to end.
Also, bravo to whomever did the mix..!! 🔥🔥🔥🤘
Best somg on kexp ever!
listened/watched 50 plus times and honestly just gets better
How are these guys not more popular? I ask friends and they are like, who?
Because most people are into shit music
A lot of talk about the guitar solo. And rightly so. It's like taking a trip through the life you've lived so far, all the good, all the bad, all the happiness and all the sadness coming together all at once. Can't ignore the sharp highs and lows of the bass adding to the sound.
❤ from Croatia. Bravo Adam! 👋🔥
Ima nas
Best song on the album. And this album is perfect
Holllaa, gerade erst entdeckt, dabei folge ich The War On Drugs seit einiger Zeit. Ich liebe diesen Drummer, doch sie beherrschen alle ihre Instrumente. Immer wieder werde ich von diesem Miteinander umgehauen, so stimmig, was für eine Kraft. Ab 2:20 kommt dann der Wechsel und man haut Dir ordentlich auf die Ohren. 💣Was für ein Sound. Diese Tiefe kloppt ordentlich durch den Körper. Der Song zwingt mich gerade, auf meinem Teppich zu hoppsen. Zum Ende ist der Chor etwas zu laut, man hört schwer die Lead Guitar... egal... ein schönes Meisterwerk. ...jetzt hat ein Nachbar geklingelt. Spaßbremse. 👻
this track gives me goosebumps and that solo gets me every time 🎶🎵🎼
Wonderful.
Adam and that Gibson Firebird are magic
Hermosa canción mientras vas manejando por la noche en la costa , mientras ves como las gotas de lluvia salpican en tu parabrisas ! Lo máximo.
This song is so amazing, the only one I can repeat for so long and not get tired of.
Like someone else also said, this song just touches my soul in a special and wonderful way
That version is truly amazing!!!!
That is what we are waiting for, just synthesise our childhood to this beutiful sound.
What a beautiful snare
I always feel sad when it ends because I want another 15 minutes of this awesome track. It's like the live recording of 'What goes on ' by the Velvet Underground - you never want it to end. Awesome track.
saw 3 times in uk brilliant
Thank god for putting war on drugs on this planet pure gold
Oh. Wow. Changes the being of things, that guitar, that melody, those words, that voice.
This people is truly an art of work
Hypnotising! No other words for this masterpiece.
What do you mean by The war on drugs? This is the drug. I can't stop playing.
I still remember the very first time I saw them live. It was the best performance by far. Adam really knows how to play guitar well.
Dear KEXP - thanks for the silent guitar solo at the 5 minute mark. Trying plugging him in and upping his volume next time.
I could hear it...
It sounds more like he forgot to switch his distortion.
It wasn't silent, just he was significantly below everyone else levels wise. Was a great solo though.
i'm 59 yrs old and this could be the most perfect song ever lyrically and melodically
OMG - I'm nearly crying
Where have I been, I have only just discovered this. This does something to me that I've not felt for a very long time...my find of the weekend .
What an incredible band! Music and nature are my drugs, no need for war against that! The War On Drugs is perfect backdrop to nature and amazing companion on travels!
Their music just BLOWS my mind
The best music has to offer. Pure flow.
I just can't get over this song.
The combo of the bass and beat gives this song some solid structure
Takes me right back to the 80s, a simpler more innocent way of life. No mobile phone tagged to your location, just pure freedom.
Guitar solo was out of this world. The intensity of the drumming juxtaposed by the tank top. That was something else.
This songs makes me feel alive
