Aren't they listed as a "cult"? I know its supposed to look that way on stage, but i saw stuff online that listed them as a real "religious cult". So what's the real story?
I was drunk in a small French town in 1990. The cover guitarist in the bar was in told me one golden rule: sing your own voice. It makes me sad when experienced musicians try to mimic a famous sound like the whining vocals of Neil Young. Make it your own, man. Other than that, this song is beautiful.
You'd think 21st century hippies world smash gender roles and have more women playing instruments instead of singing backup. These guys are in my playlist. Still.
Viewing other of their videos you may note the lineup of musicians, their instruments, and genders, is fluid, including no less than Annie Clark/St. Vincent (on guitar, of course).
Get over yourself. When choosing musicians for a piece you pick what fits the arrangement and sound you're looking for. In this case, they wanted female voices. I guess you didn't notice the woman on cello? I love how some people go looking for things to get irate about. Save your indignation for things more fitting.
Afterwards they all nestled beneath a tree and dropped acid while a caricature of Charles Manson pranced around naked, preaching the "hippie-gospel" as kids from across the street, recorded them on their smart phones. "Look mom, grandma and her friends! Just like the old pictures in the photo album stored underneath the coffee table"!
As many as Tim says they need, fella You're watching GREATNESS Don't try to "platform" off it by acting "too cool for the room" Just good advice, Bruh No anger
I don't know about the heart part but one of the female singers here clearly has a voice of gold
Polyphonic Spree is the band equivalent of Theseus's Ship.
Av club was such a great series.
Way better than the original. Rare cover W! Fire
Wow, this is great!
Хиппи недоделанные 🤣🤣🤣

Bet it smells in there
INCREDIBLE!!!
Brilliant! 💛
The Manson Family vibes have always freaked me out, but damn, this is so good.
when people ask "What does Too many Cooks in the Kitchen mean?" I just send them this video.
The bass player is my favorite

You must have never listened to Tim DeLaughter before this. He's very much singing his own voice, not mimicking.
Those are just his vox. He's had the same tone since his days in Tripping Daisy and before, he's not trying to sing like Neil Young
I've had eight years to discover this and it's the first time I've heard it. smfh. Amazing cover.
I miss old AV Club.
So do I.
I've never wanted to join a cult more in my life
Are they a band, or a cult? That's not a judgment, I just want to know where the bus is
Bright eyes
Daaang what a cover !! As good as Charles Bradley's (RIP). Awesome job Polyphonic Spree !
Love, love, love this.
Incredible cover!

Talk about a super spreader event.
I don’t know why I’m smiling...but damn
Todd and Lorraine are amazing
Why didn't I hear of these guys sooner/// Are you guys still around ???
Which ones are Todd and Elaine?
is good
love TPS............ amazing!!!!!
I can see the sorrow in your eyes 2:22
I’m glad to see the kids of Waco actually made it out before the fire.
And they are stockpiling musical instruments instead of weapons
Underrated comment!
That would explain where they learned how to bring down the house every time they play.
Savage😂
I'm not sure if this is a cult I would join..
fucking shithouse

There is so many of them, dividing the performance fee must be a bitch.
Imagine the hotel bill when they're on tour.
Is this a cult?
❤
How many people do you need in your band? Polyphonic Spree: Yes
fuckin cult man. theres so many bands you can be in that are not that polyphonic. also he looks like a piece of shit
and this cover is the boringest i ever heard. goddamn.
As many guitarists the eagles need
Depends, how many people can we fit in the bus?
Very good, very funny 🙂
Describe polyphonic spree: "Like. .20 people cover a song by a 3-4 piece band and it somehow works great"
this is excellent. Here's a version by me: ua-cam.com/video/Q8hhM2qc5Cs/v-deo.html
This is fantastic. It could be used in a Italian western.
Looks like they just rolled out of bed on the commune.
Nice. The George Martin arrangemet.
Tmanaz480 what is they?
St. Vincent brought me here. The lead singer is from Tripping Daisy
very fun
As I wrote on the original posting, nice to see The Manson Family Singers perform such a reverent tribute to Neil Young. Solid A.
Starting to see how the AV Club was so great... one more you're nuts guy's dad hair cut threw me.
