I have been to countless live shows of every genre in my life…I truly feel that Local Natives may be the best I’ve ever seen. It’s ridiculous how good they are.
That's interesting... I've always wanted to see them but haven't gotten the chance. The best live performance I've ever seen was Kings of Leon at ACL, but I'm open to being proven wrong. I feel like it's a win/win for me.
Alex Rizzutto We need MTV Unplugged back from the nineties! I still watch STP's, Nirvana's and Pearl Jam's unplugged shows regularly, and there are so many bands today that could do great things with acoustic instruments. This video is just one among many!

@@rockmusic111 that would be such a welcomed return!
Yes please. I live in Avondale. Over the past number of years we have frequent visits from Avindale music fans looking for their band members. Please leave us alone, we are running out of avocado toast due to these ppl.
They're singing many parts in octaves and I can tell you this is one of the hardest things in music because both parts Intonation needs to be absolutely on point. And these guys did it just perfect!!
THE best mustache that came across in NPR since ever! still hunts me! remember the first time I saw this clip, back in 2012, both amazed and amused. Cheers from Portugal 🍻 ps: yeap, I still see this vid in 2023!
Attention everyone! There are approximately 161 people who hate, but, can't sing, nor play any instrument, that decided to put a thumbs down on this video.... shame on them. Local Natives live, is amazing... if only, this is what 2021 needs.
Ya know you're the only guy I've met who also loves Local Natives? Plus, you look pretty cool (making an assumption) based on your profile pic haha. Just saying ;P do you like similar artists? (:
Hearing these guys live at Osheaga this year was a true privilege. They are incredibly hard working and to say they sound amazing is an understatement. Local Natives are band everybody needs to see live to believe that they're one of the most outstanding and yet underrated bands in North America right now. You'd be kicking yourself if you decided to skip their set at any festival.
Yeah just saw Local natives live. Wasn't even a huge fan at the time, but they absolutely killed it. So much energy, like it was one if their first shows. Also, before the show, one went on a bike ride, the other a run, and another had a kettle bell lol. Staying in shape I gues
Just saw them live in SD last Thursday. Before it, they already had a special spot in my heart, with their vocals feeling a little melancholy to me, and the beautiful & novel arrangement of their songs (esp dat percussion ;D). Seeing them live though.. man, I have to say it was a once in a lifetime, absolutely amazing show. I already can't wait for the next time I'll see them~
Such a harmonizing, beautiful, special performance! You could feel the love and energy through their music every time!! Much love and blessings from Canada to everyone reading this!!!
Maaaaaaaaaaan these guys are so damn good!! Love them..summer days...sweet surf and a girl in my arms...melodies of pure heart felt love! Keep going Local Natives....you fill so many souls and hearts! Big beautiful hugs! x
The tiny desk concert series is just so awesome. I know I am not the only who thinks they sound better here than on the record. Its the same for many bands.
Of course this is amazing...it is impossible not to fall in love with everything Local Natives does. I wish they had done "World News" for this Tiny Desk Concert, though! It's all about NPR, after all. :)
Seeing Local Natives play in concert... I've never seen a band so tight. They could have been pretending to play along to their album and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Such great tunes and their harmonies are eerily beautiful. Love this band!
This is the video that introduced me to Local Natives. I'm exceedingly glad that I clicked this when it showed up on the sidebar. Literally life changing
***** same here! :-( let's just wish and hope the best for them, and honestly wish that I can get to see them one day lol missed every opportunity that would come up :/
I like it, and thought I would being that I like pretty much everything that the Tiny Desk Concerts puts on. But why would people click on this, and then decide they should devote energy to telling people they didn't like it? Why? Why? Why... If you don't like it, leave the page.

Saw them this week. Can confirm.
That's interesting... I've always wanted to see them but haven't gotten the chance. The best live performance I've ever seen was Kings of Leon at ACL, but I'm open to being proven wrong. I feel like it's a win/win for me.
Wish they recorded an acoustic album of all their songs. Their live versions always sound incredible.
their itunes session has some acoustic tracks
there's an itunes session and a spotify sessions album

@@rockmusic111 that would be such a welcomed return!
Crazy how big they are now....still one of my favorite tiny desks!
I literally just found these guys about about hour ago and I honestly have never loved a band as much as I love these guys.
Glad you found them! They truly are a gem. Such a beautiful band in every way possible.
If you like Local Natives youll love Avindale very underground but they're stuff is gold :D don't confuse them with Avondale though lol
+Hasan Hejazi hey they're a local band here in my hometown! my friend is actually cousins with the drummer :)
tiffany rodriguez nice yeah I'm also from el paso haha but Avindale isn't the same anymore and they're new stuff is gonna be more electronic indie :(
Yes please. I live in Avondale. Over the past number of years we have frequent visits from Avindale music fans looking for their band members. Please leave us alone, we are running out of avocado toast due to these ppl.
I already liked Local Natives but seeing this video made me love them even more.
Yess fellow black girl
Cards and Quarters is such a masterpiece. The drumming is so tactful and subtly brilliant. And, my God, the harmonies...
I agree 100%
I've listened to this Tiny Desk over 20 times just for that song.
The harmonies
Sends chills all throughout my body
They're singing many parts in octaves and I can tell you this is one of the hardest things in music because both parts Intonation needs to be absolutely on point. And these guys did it just perfect!!
Wide Eyes = no words can describe this songs beauty. oh to see it with my own eyes.
I don't think I'll ever find another acoustic set I love more than this.
+Brandon Grimmett their sets with La Blogtheque are equally as beautiful.
Check out the tenamentTV one with them in it! Equally as dreamy ❤️
Nirvana unplugged
Check out pinegroves tiny desk

Cards and Quarters sounded perfect. That's the way to do it.
This is why I love Local Natives, such a remarkably majestic band.
i love people that love the local natives
Indeed. I see we have a mutual connection already xD
Ha ha ha without a doubt
Ya know you're the only guy I've met who also loves Local Natives? Plus, you look pretty cool (making an assumption) based on your profile pic haha. Just saying ;P do you like similar artists? (:
"We met on youtube"

How can you dislike this video. Rare to find a band like this. With naturally good voices. Look at their other stuff
still beautifull in 2024
Out of all the amazing live recordings of 'Airplanes', this is their best performance. Flawless. All 3 songs are expertly done.
Came from a opening band 10 years ago to now in 2020 making it big. Patience is key
Yeah just saw Local natives live. Wasn't even a huge fan at the time, but they absolutely killed it. So much energy, like it was one if their first shows. Also, before the show, one went on a bike ride, the other a run, and another had a kettle bell lol. Staying in shape I gues

I was also there. I travelled all the way from Mexico City to San Diego just to see them. One of the best shows I've ever been on.
THAT FREAKIN BASS! No one cares about bass but it makes the music.
A mustache like that, how could you not?
I love you.
tru im hard
It’s magnificent
Ikr!
@@brandonhensler5320ñ no
It’s good to revisit this every once in a while
They are so genuinely passionate about the music, it makes it so real and beautiful. Absolutely love them.
Wide eyes got me Wide eyed thanks for the trip
Such a harmonizing, beautiful, special performance! You could feel the love and energy through their music every time!! Much love and blessings from Canada to everyone reading this!!!
"Infectious" is the perfect word for their music.
I drove from northwestern Colorado to Great Falls MT listening to this band. Afterwards I has the opportunity to see Grrbage in Omaha. ❤
One of the absolute greatest bands to listen to
I enjoy their music just as much now as I did in high school ❤
Kelcey's voice is so beautiful
Have watched this dozens of times. Still magical. Love me some Local Natives.
Maaaaaaaaaaan these guys are so damn good!! Love them..summer days...sweet surf and a girl in my arms...melodies of pure heart felt love! Keep going Local Natives....you fill so many souls and hearts! Big beautiful hugs! x
This is one of the best live performances I've ever heard; even my Dad's feel'n it- really timeless talent.
it's crazy that this was 8 years ago ! how time flies ! 2011 was such a good year
This whole channel is just amazing. I love you NPR. And Local Natives!
This really feels like REAL “music” 🥺❤️❤️ you don’t hear that too often anymore? My new favorite song!!!
good. but on their Take Away Show, they were amazing. Idk how that channel always has the best sound when filming in weird locations
I think it's about time to do an update for Tiny desk concert @localnatives
The tiny desk concert series is just so awesome. I know I am not the only who thinks they sound better here than on the record. Its the same for many bands.
Still beautiful in 2015
Still beautiful in 2016
Still beautiful in 3005
it is so nice to hear music that makes you feel happy to be alive
Airplanes live is just magnificent
Still watching this years later!! There's definitely been a drop off in music like this recently ... Local Natives never fail!
Pure, raw, music. Finally. This is awesome.
NPR I've listened to so many of your Tiny Desk Concerts is not even fathomable.
I'm little 9 years late to the party.
vizavi kintso me tooo!!!
me too bro
But you arrived
I’m 11 years late 😭
I’m must be 11 years
Love the Local Natives even better acoustic. 🎸 🎼🎶
saw these guys at the Disney concert hall in L.A. a few years back and that show was amazing and in a amazing venue.
These guys make my soul bounce. They’re so deliciously creepy and talented, I get instahappy when I hear their trademark sound.
Their voices give me chills. So amazing!
I love the passion behind Kelcey's voice! amazing
that guy is one of the best damn drummers you will find in Indie-influenced music :)
this is/was/always will be amazing
Of course this is amazing...it is impossible not to fall in love with everything Local Natives does. I wish they had done "World News" for this Tiny Desk Concert, though! It's all about NPR, after all. :)
Wow! I am blown away! Such great musicians
This performance is what turned me on to Local Natives. Still love it
is anybody else disappointed they didnt do World News for the NPR
HAHAHA ,,, THERE ARE SOME MANY SONGS THE DIDN'T PLAY
I've seen this video so many times, and I just can't get tired.
This is such an awesome performance. I always have to come back to it!
Seeing Local Natives play in concert... I've never seen a band so tight. They could have been pretending to play along to their album and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Such great tunes and their harmonies are eerily beautiful. Love this band!
This is the video that introduced me to Local Natives. I'm exceedingly glad that I clicked this when it showed up on the sidebar. Literally life changing
every one of them plays such a huge role in the harmonies and ah i love it, perfect
I was not expecting what came out of them. I really enjoyed this.
Their harmonies are amazing. (On par with Civil Wars harmonies for me. Can't get enough of either!)
Can't believe I haven't seen this since 2011... holy shit they sure have come so far 💓
MaryJane Ramos it honestly brought a tear to my eye. I feel like a proud mom 😭💕
***** same here! :-( let's just wish and hope the best for them, and honestly wish that I can get to see them one day lol missed every opportunity that would come up :/
Just saw them at ACL. Hands down one of the most sincere, best performances in the festival.
Those harmonies are unworldly.
I saw these guys in Isla Vista near UCSB in 2008 as a freshman in college and look at them now 😢👏
How could anyone dislike this??! This is pure talent!
NPR seriously needs to make a "Tiny Desk Concerts" album off of these recordings. I enjoy many of them more than the recorded albums.
i want to see them live again.... local natives are amazing.
Just Recommended for me. Loved LN since 2014. Literally just listened to the extended album last week while cleaning lol. ❤❤
Taylor and Kelcey's harmonies always give me chills..
Beautiful.
I've watched it 20+ times and still never get bored.
ANOTHER SESSION PLEASE :)
CAN'T STOP LISTENING. This has happened before though.. to the Avrett brothers one, the Iron and Wine one, oh, fanfarlo too... so much goodness!
This album was truly elite
L.A. Homegrown...Fantastic!!! Thank you soo much for the introduction!! OOXOO
ahh, nothing like great harmonies after a long day
they always sound so amazing.
i couldn't tell which guy was sing high and which was singing low until the last song
The first guy
Yeah! They delegate their vocals so well!
I like it, and thought I would being that I like pretty much everything that the Tiny Desk Concerts puts on. But why would people click on this, and then decide they should devote energy to telling people they didn't like it? Why? Why? Why... If you don't like it, leave the page.
love the percussion on this!
i remember seeing/listening to crosby,stills&nash early on....got goosebumps just like i do listening to these boys....~steveT
These guys are fantastic. Thanks for showcasing them!
I was actually waiting for "oooohWOOOOAHH-WOOOOAHHH" thing that usually happens around 8:35. Are these guys phenomenal or what
Airplanes makes me feel like I soar. I love it all
I don't know how many times I've watched this video. Just love it
Fresh. Inviting, like a really nice view somewhere with a good friend. Thanks, guys.
I LOVE THESE TINY DESKS CONCERTS!! every single one i've seen I've absolutely LOVED!!
Love it! First thing I heard from them... Going to see them live this Saturday
Earth wind water fire heaven they all harmonize
Hummingbird is such a good album, disputing this one for the best album
Old Bird Wing my family and I constantly argue about which album is best😂 I loove Sunlit Youth x
props to the guy on the right rocking the broccoli top a solid decade before it took off
I forgot mow much I love these guys...
This video makes me realize that my biggest regret in life, was not studying music and trying to form a band with my best friends.
I love this. Just energetic and beautiful and sounds just..so good
cards and quarters is maybe my favorite LN song. it's perfect...
I love the way Taylor Rice (stache) moves! Especially in "Airplanes." Hot damn, I wanna groove like that!
2021 still watching this live acoustic!!
