the performance is so perfect. Every little detail heard on their records can be heard in their live performances. I saw them live in London's O2 rather than in my hometown Dublin Ireland where the gig was outdoor. I will never forget it. I have played their songs so often that I know every little nuance. They are simply amazing musicians, and Charlie's drumming is absolutely mesmeric. My world is a better place for their music. Brilliant.
This baby boomer Nana grew up on the Stones, Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Motown, the Beatles, Pink Floyd…you get the point. I thought, this generation would never have music with the staying power that we had. BUT, one night about 6 months ago, I turned on Austin City Limits on PBS and there was this group called The War on Drugs playing. I was hooked! Not a day goes by without listening to my playlist of their music. Sometimes I can’t understand the lyrics, but that’s ok, because the instruments have lyrics of their own. And I’m going to see them in concert next month!!!! Were it not for PBS, I wouldn’t have this amazing music in my life.
Adam is from my home town Philadelphia. I think I met Adam long ago. He is humble and beautiful. Please don't change your down to earth ways. Holly wood KILLS
it's absolutely insane how this band sounds. saw them at the O2 in Dublin recently. unbelievable. I could almost headbang while crying at the same time. Weird. No other band makes me feel what their music do.
Absolute killer band. Drummer is awesome and really holds and binds everything together brilliantly. Intense but restrained when needs to be. What a band. What a band. x
Well I’m a little late to get into them but damn the more I listen to them the more I love them!! I’m 61 and they remind me of a lot of the music i listened to in the 70’s with a new twist I look forward to finding out more about them.
Discovered this band when The Barr Brothers cancelled their gig I was going to, to support these guys, so checked them out. Couldn't believe what I was hearing, OMG, they are brilliant !!!! The gig was great !!!! So addicted !!!
Had the pleasure of watching these guys play The O2 in London last night. Wow what a band live, absolultey brilliant, pure talent and passion for what they do.
@@tbonepep Relatable struggle from everyday anxiety and relationship fails. It's been an awakening for me to discover these guys. Been searching for music that defines a lot of things I've dealt with in my life.
There is so many things happening in all the songs of The War On Drugs, THERE’S FUCKING SIX PEOPLE PLAYING ALL AT THE SAME TIME I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH
I was there! What an incredible experience! Thanks, KCSN & Sky Daniels, for the opportunity to see this fantastic band, up close & personal! Unforgettable!
From the inception of this band they never disappoint with their music they are so talented and gifted and with all of that they are so cool many thanks for the great music 🎶 from Tobago ❤
OMG that Gretsch but the way Adam plays it! And the entire band, I just love these guys, can't wait to see you all again, more than 3 times is never too much to see you guys. And this is my favourite song in addition to a whole bunch of other favourite songs...and in reverse, I'm moving.
Yup, me too. Saw them at The Tent last Saturday. They were really good! But I wish they had played more of their upbeat songs: Baby Missiles, Buenos Aires Beach, Taking The Farm, Lost In A Dream. Love them!!
Damn. Never heard "In Reverse" before and when they started playing it I would've bet anyone $100 they were covering "Waiting on a Friend" by the Stones
Adam's pretty funny. I don't think the audience quite got it though.....his joke about giving a tour. I thought that was pretty slick and cute. I love how polite he is, always thanking them at the end of the songs. Really refreshing! Terrific band! They have such a nice, amazing, melodic sound. I haven't been so impressed by a band since I "discovered" Queen (who I am totally addicted to!) a few yrs ago. I know TWOD is Queen's polar opposite, but I just love their music too.
I really enjoy the drummer. He has that kit but he doesn't use the shit he has. Only the same beat over and over again, he can put some fills or whatever so things get a little "gucci" on parts. Otherwise I fucking love them and their music! Thank you!
Some of their songs remind me a band that I was addicted to and still love them after 20+ years.... Gin Blossoms... They're not so similar but kinda like Bod Dylan+Gin Blossoms.
I really like this band its just such a shame they got into the loudness wars on the recordings, hopefully they can be remastered to remove the serious clipping.
Deep dive into this band. I discovered them about a month ago and can’t stop listening to them.
Best band of the 21st century
I came across this band about year and half ago. They are now on my top 3 all time favorites 🙂
Never heard of them until 3 weeks ago.....haven't played anything since .
Same here, just found them 1 week ago and listened to nothing else since.
They grab you and don't let go. Join the gang
I joined the gang! The are awesome !
MsLizajayne welcome aboard haha
me neither
This band is absolutely the best. I first picked them up 7 years ago. I have not been able to put them down, since

I continue to learn those nuisances as well !!!!
Every detail from the recording plus other things they added makes it even better than the already perfect parade.
This is the best live performance of the War on Drugs. They are amazing!
Holding on: 0:11
Pain: 7:23
In Reverse: 12:40
You Don’t Have to Go: 19:12
Shaun Patterson thank you since Perú
We love 'Pain,' great song.
No es since Perú, es FROM Perú.

No one member overplays, every one utterly restrained and disciplined, the very definition of a band
The drummer isn't only keeping time, he's dancing it.
Interesting observation.
He reminds me of Ringo in the early years, and Charlie Watts with his snare without the hi hat. I agree with Nick Argo. Great observation.
Definitely smooth, wo taking over.
Le bassiste génial
Dig it.. he makes it look easy doesn’t he? Very ninja like. Similar to John Morgan Kimock. Both brilliant.
The beauty is in the simplicity. But yet its also very complex and layered. Beautiful work.
Exactly man. They transcend themselves.
Far from simple man. Maybe you could consider the structure simple but that's about it I think.
This is honestly the best thing I've ever seen
Well I’m a little late to get into them but damn the more I listen to them the more I love them!! I’m 61 and they remind me of a lot of the music i listened to in the 70’s with a new twist I look forward to finding out more about them.
There’s no such thing as being late to listen to and enjoy a band. Have fun!
Never get tired of listening to this music it put you in a different world all by myself
Discovered this band when The Barr Brothers cancelled their gig I was going to, to support these guys, so checked them out. Couldn't believe what I was hearing, OMG, they are brilliant !!!! The gig was great !!!! So addicted !!!
Can we just get another Slip album
I love this band! Brilliant performance. Also, props to the sound guy!
Shreyas Kendurkar , don’t forget about this bad ass drummer.
@@gjmbarusha6999 Charlie is the man.
Props to the cameramen giving Adam and Charlie equal time. Great shot.
This version of "You Don't Have To Go" is the best I've heard. Wow.
Had the pleasure of watching these guys play The O2 in London last night. Wow what a band live, absolultey brilliant, pure talent and passion for what they do.
Lucky barsteward.
every time i hear these songs, whether i'm all alone, at one of their amazing shows or in the middle of a library i just wanna yell, "YESSSS!!!"
Not sure what emotion I feel with these guys. Can anyone tell me? So much joy but not just that, a serious love of heart.
thomassalazar08 Same here. I cannot describe the feeling.

Une impression de vivre dans un état second...que du bonheur, jamais connu cette sensation avant.
It is totally spiritual.
I’ve listened to this band since around 2010 and finally saw them live 2 weeks ago in Liverpool. I’m still riding the euphoria of that night.
Same here! Was at Liverpool also, first time seeing them.
There is so many things happening in all the songs of The War On Drugs, THERE’S FUCKING SIX PEOPLE PLAYING ALL AT THE SAME TIME I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH
I was there! What an incredible experience! Thanks, KCSN & Sky Daniels, for the opportunity to see this fantastic band, up close & personal! Unforgettable!
This is the best live version of In Reverse I've heard, chills...Thanks to the sound guy great job
I first heard their music over the speakers in hmv, asked who it was and bought their 4 cos. John c.
Pain is such a damn good song. Glorious.
The version of in reverse is absolutely fantastic
soundtrack of my Life!Thx WoD
Any group with a bari sax is ok in my mind! And seriously, they're much more than just ok. Such a quintessentially American sound.
From the inception of this band they never disappoint with their music they are so talented and gifted and with all of that they are so cool many thanks for the great music 🎶 from Tobago ❤
Fantastic performance! Nailed every song
come over to Dublin to see them on June 4th
Completely right!
best live performance (or recording) of The War on Drugs
First heard of them 1 month ago, now I'm a great fan of them from BUDAPEST, HU!!!! Can't stop listening to them!!! Great musicians, real emotions!!!

Fantastic, beautiful, incredible good
Goosebumps
Great sound!
This is an excellent performance. You Don’t Have to Go is flawless.
“Take you into the niiiiiight…”
Amazing band.
I cannot wait to see them live in October!!!!!!
Great to be in the company of Real Pro's. Thank You!
OMG that Gretsch but the way Adam plays it! And the entire band, I just love these guys, can't wait to see you all again, more than 3 times is never too much to see you guys. And this is my favourite song in addition to a whole bunch of other favourite songs...and in reverse, I'm moving.
first song, superb.
Love the bass lines.
This band is so good, both on disc and live. Love it! Looking forward to see them live this September in Boston!!
Yup, me too. Saw them at The Tent last Saturday. They were really good! But I wish they had played more of their upbeat songs: Baby Missiles, Buenos Aires Beach, Taking The Farm, Lost In A Dream. Love them!!
Sounds Amazing! perfect!
Excelente, en vivo son fieles a su disco. That´s Great!
Awesome band!!!! The solo guitar in "Pain" make me chicken skin, Please come to Argentina!!!!!!
In reverse is so so good
Holding on is just too good🔥🔥
soundscapes galore
Killer Performance!!
It wasn't until after A Deeper Understanding that "In reverse" became one of my favorite songs of theirs. That song is chilling live.
Excellent video of an excellent band! Thank you!;-)
Não conhecia a banda... som nota 10!!!
Concordo plenamente nota 10
Brilliant!
At the end of Disappearing the harmonica sound reminds me of Bruce Springsteen My Beatiful Reward from MTV Unplugged
Love it!
-------Disc of the year, Indie,no one better,see you in St Paul,again, October at The Palace,great guitar,as all know!!
The bass ❤️
got to love the faces the drummer does ahahah
Can't wait to see these guys at somepoint.
Any live music will do at this point
the best thing going by far
Damn. Never heard "In Reverse" before and when they started playing it I would've bet anyone $100 they were covering "Waiting on a Friend" by the Stones
The only problem with this performance is how short it is.
This band really works out on me¡¡
Fou de ce groupe depuis 3 mois. Il n'y a pas de hasard pour les vrais amoureux de la vraie musique
Excellente group, it's a discovery. It's a little Jackson Browne...It's good very good
Seeing them tues in the Atl !!
it takes so much work to SOUND like this. Practice, kids!
Diese Band ist die Entdeckung des Jahres 2020
Now THIS - this here, is a band.

One of the most decent people in the business
It hurts my shoulders just to look at that drummer!
genius man >ruclips.net/video/qhutxtHtEtk/видео.html
This makes me want to get a Jazzmaster.
he has an insane guitar collection
Muito sonzeraaaaaaa.
Started hearing this band waaaay back. I prefer live preformances, so lively so beautiful

what is the last song called?
A cross between Neil Young , Bob Dylan , Tom Petty and someone else I can't put my finger on.? Love it.
Bruce Spingsteen
Yeah and maybe wilco too
Mark Knopfler.
Great version of 'Pain'
Why does nobody understand how UNBELIEVABLE the fucking bass is .....?!!
how can someone dislike their songs?
Whats the name of the last song?
You Don't Have To Go. I love itso much!
Pain … es hermosa .
what is the last song called?
You Don't Have To Go. I love this song and this band so much..! They're on repeat every day of my life.
I really enjoy the drummer. He has that kit but he doesn't use the shit he has. Only the same beat over and over again, he can put some fills or whatever so things get a little "gucci" on parts. Otherwise I fucking love them and their music! Thank you!
Bjarnex Grjónex Your comment reads contradictory to me. Do you actually like the drummer? lol
if he dares to do that, he will ruin the tone and pace of the song..the other guys would probably turn around lol...great band nonetheless
I like that he's known as the dancing drummer
adamania wow that's exactly what I was thinking!
Helene Suss lul
nice !!! Love it!!! 💚💚෴❤️෴💚💚
so fucking good !!!
Yes me like it a lotty
Dogs, who puts ads in a live show??
Ads are put in by record companies.
One Day our paths may cross again...
MEE
Laban Ray...daughter...
Keep reaching those kids old and new...utube it up...
I always knew

Some of their songs remind me a band that I was addicted to and still love them after 20+ years.... Gin Blossoms... They're not so similar but kinda like Bod Dylan+Gin Blossoms.
There are so many little hooks in their songs.
88.5. Where. Abouts. Is. Dat/that?(?)❤
We are now The SoCal Sound in Los Angeles and Orange County California. We broadcast on the radio on 88.5FM
I really like this band its just such a shame they got into the loudness wars on the recordings, hopefully they can be remastered to remove the serious clipping.
how can you not like this music,wtf is wrong with those 5 onlikes,guess they are not having any kind off understanding for good music.
Philly Kensington lives on.
