Heard Conan say “welcome back to the show, Portugal the Man” on their recent appearance, so I did a search for their earlier appearance(s) and wow... they don’t even sound or look the same as they do today... just a few years apart too.
And if you go back a few years from this video they look and sound nothing like this either, PTM's definitely been through a bunch of phases over the years
I love how Conan shook the hand of all band members after the performance. There’s a video of Conan’s first show in which Pearl Jam was the musical guest and played 2 songs. After PJ played the first song, Conan came on stage to thank each band member and Eddie Vedder jumped on the drum riser cuz Conan is really tall! 😁
Epic! Seen them live a handful of times, driving out to watch them in Austin this thursday. Pure genius, every band member compliments each other beautifully. For those worry about their attire, close ur eyes and listen idiots.
The keyboardist has been with them since I first saw them a long ass time ago when they were no names. But I get the feeling they never seem to include him in the actual band. Next was the drummer. He's been there since...wana say after Churchmouth? Guitar lead has not been there for very long.
I still think this was good but you're right this is probably the worst video I've seen of them. I still love them but there's just something about late-night talk shows that makes every band sound like shit!
the lead singers voice is so magical
Portugal. the Man deserves national recognition. Real Music.
And they've finally made it! The world is now exposed to their great vibes.
John is the epitome of beauty. I've never seen a man with that kind of beauty.
I love how everyone in the band is looking sharp and trendy, and then the drummer is rocking an old Red Fang shirt.
lmao, so true. he even has a hole in his shirt 4:38 :D drummers.
Hard to believe this was 6 years ago.
2021 in the house!

I love how shy they looked after! I'm so happy for these guys. Love em.
SOOO COOL! This group has awesome sound. They definately are under radar..
Just days after I saw them live. Fantastic musicians and really awesome people to talk to!

the jam part at the end was amazing with the strings. conan's show has an incredible mix.
Incredible finish!!! I love this band, hopefully I get to see them live some day!
Seeing them in less than 3 weeks.
I'm so excited.
So happy for these guys.
This appearance on Conan got me into them. GREAT band.

Thank you for choosing my country for the name of the band!!
sucks that this is no longer the band's line up. so good, so musically tight.
that breakdown/ jam at the end was DOPE
John is the epitome of male beauty...My God.
I love this band
Conan loved them. Good.
I wonder if that jam at the end is what their next album's going to sound like. That was so awesome!
Sleep Forever is perhaps their best song ever.
such an epic ending!
Conan. The man
Para além de música boa ... um nome de grupo extraordinariamente original, para um grupo não-português. Good luck, boys!
conan looks tall, love portugal the man
the ending was badass though
Imagine how long they've come from this! So bizarre!
I want that Gretsch.... so much..
Conan is extremely tall
Hes 6'4 :o
hot damn that ending!
love conan. dig this band.
The drummer's Red Fang shirt doe.
fortunately and unfortunately they still are famous
Woah. When did Neighbors & Sechrist get back in the game? I did/do love that prunus -y part towards the very end..
either john is very short, or conan is very tall
john is about 5'7" maybe 5'8"
FIFA 2012 made me know them
uh, no, ryan gosling is actually the lead singer of dead man's bones.
red fang shirt! yeah!
This song reminds me of another one, except that one was better and I never had to see them/judge them so they're still okay by me.
The keyboardist has been with them since I first saw them a long ass time ago when they were no names. But I get the feeling they never seem to include him in the actual band.
Next was the drummer. He's been there since...wana say after Churchmouth?
Guitar lead has not been there for very long.
Paul Cartwright! Yay!
Name of the song ?? Btw Great performance
So American
Besides the lead singer and bassist, have the other members of the band been with Portugal, The Man for awhile?
Good but it's no anatomy of a ghost... lol jk I wore out this album on vinyl when it came out
wheres their hoodies and long dirty hair?
3:50 - 4:17
Make that into a full song. Please.
Okay it sounded nothing like primus.
portugal the conan
probably the best put together song but they have others that are better.
when was this?! and why was i not aware of it?!
of our day bud lifetime would be the stones and zepp i think they would agree. but they are the best since
Ryan sold out. ITS OFFICIAL IN HD!
mymenmymen
If you want to listen to a hardcore rip off of this song, search "Runter vom Gas | Kino - Werbung" on youtube.
Is it me or do I hear horns?
I still think this was good but you're right this is probably the worst video I've seen of them. I still love them but there's just something about late-night talk shows that makes every band sound like shit!
the bassist looks like that dude from college humor's hardly working videos and their drummer looks like the same dude from local natives.
@Ryan Ellis Primus-y
Shepard's of Ontario.
BRING BACK RYAN!
3:50-4:17
O_O
@10ccalanarkush ??????????????
@FreedumFries591
for real, hahaha ppl are weird. they havent changed at all besides having hair cuts so like wtf? hahaha
@anatomyofashane If I made money in a band I'd dress fly too. Hateraid.
@anatomyofashane They've always dressed like that.
ugh they stole the stupid total eclipse of the heart hook. why do people listen to this tripe?
I love Portugal but this was NOT good
