Is it a good thing that they're true to their recordings? I've never understood why people like that aspect of a band. I've heard the recording, I'd like to hear something a bit different or at least with more dynamics live
@@dubnessIII Why? I mean, I get it to a certain extent, but if you like a song then you like *that* song, why would you want to go along and hear it performed differently to the way you like? Possibly for the worse.
@@WilliamKilbride The sax is sampled. Baio is controlling all of the sax samples with the 12-step foot controller by his pedal board. You can also see him using this board to trigger other samples in the song (the chopped drum samples and synth breakdown)
Damn, I saw them live in brooklyn and from what I saw, CT is the 'bad ass' of the group, Chris Baio has got a pretty sick move playing his bass, Rostam is the darling of the group, Ezra is just the hypnotizing one of the group with his stare and little smirks. Oh and I caught his guitar pick, so that was flippin' awesome!!
Declan Cochran they did a great job reenacting it live. It's just that the production was so perfect, there's no way a subpar SNL audio mix can compare.
The pianist controls a filter to the microphone which can make the pitch go higher and lower. You can see it if you go to there official "Diane Young" music video, they show a clip with it.
I didnt read your comment, but having your name be bob loblaw, and having dwight schrute as your picture is the combination of 2 of the most awesome things ever. thankyou.
Did anyone else find this video after watching Ask A Mortician's video on the Forgotten New England American Vampire Panic and be disappointed that Vampire Weekend wasn't done up in actual vampire makeup and red contact lenses?
Love how they still did the pitch shift thing live :D
TheGooseinator he has one of his sound engineers maneuver a pitch shifting vocal effect off stage for him
@@nathanielmejia1369 Rostam is the one doing it actually, you can see him adjusting the formant shifting module during the breakdown.
@ebenritchie746 that's sick good eye
Ezra looks damn FINE in his suit. But, then again, he always looks good.
i could feel his anxiety towards the beginning , they did so well though, one of the few bands who are true to their recordings
Beatrice Blair yeah, they never seem this tense live even when someone badly messes up

I just LOVE the pitch change in this song and the fact that they do it every time they perform this song live is awesome!
That man has a nice face. It is a good face, an excellent face indeed.
***** I stand by my previous statement.
I can agree that ezra has a very nice face
wavyluna or maybe a toblerone
Ok Buffalo bill
OH MY GOD I NEVER KNEW THEY WERE SO GOOD IN LIVE IM DYING
I like his face.
Same here
me too
Ok Buffalo bill
Ezra's face right as they cut to them! Priceless!
That sax player in the background!
looked too me like he was faking it. I think that was synth-sax
+Kelly Lowder he's actually playing, but he has a pedal that distorts his sound.

This is the best live performance of this song I've seen so far

Thank you internet for keeping these performances on SNL. Pure magic gold.
I haven't wanted to see a band so badly in concert as I have with vampire weekend. It hurts me that they never go south
My god I finally saw them live in okc after listening to them for 6 years...I can die at peace now. One of the best true live singers prob in history
I always hear the word "enchilada" during the chorus
Ezra's out fit is on flick
+Drew Hooper flick? you mean... fleek...
+adza botchway thanks man XD
Drew Hooper lmao
***** ???????????????????????????what the fuck is wrong with you??????????????????????????????? stupid, worthless piece of racist shit. blocked
omg his eyes!!!!!!
love the bass saxophonist
love that way of bringing the plectrum between index and middle finger.......
Love Ezra face
i'm gonna apply for a job as an SNL sound engineer...apparently there is very weak competition in that field
IMPERATIV XVII how are they so bad almost every time for ALL THESE YEARS!??
They have the worst sound engineers in late night television.
When I think about it the engineers they hire are probably clean cut mediocre people with no talent
11 years later and their Gen-X Cops performance proves that SNL still haven't upgraded
That bari sax is killin' it! LOVE this song
His voice alone makes me love him
i wish we could elect Ezra the President of THE WORLD
ezra is a babe
omg the smirnoff commercial came on and this song was in it, inception
i love this song, but i think it's one of those songs that only really works with that studio sparkle
agreed
toast
Declan Cochran they did a great job reenacting it live. It's just that the production was so perfect, there's no way a subpar SNL audio mix can compare.
Holy crap that bass sax sounds killer

Dont know what vampire weekend is. This is Justin Trudeau performing with his high school band
College band
You’re kinda right.
Lol where’s the black face
If it was Tradeau he would be trampling civil rights in the name of "diversity and equity"
This song ROCKS!
I like this a lot.
IM SO HAPPY
Ezra is SO CUTE!!!! those eyes!!
The bass sax sounds kills

Watching this again and at that arm at 1:43 I was like ...slick
Rostam is doing that effect using the orange thing you see behind him.
cannot wait to see them live in may
Tophat dude in the back makes this that much better
man I've just watched an interview from 2019 and this is from 2013. he is EXACTLY THE SAME
SAW YOU YESTERDAY AND STILL CRYING
They were great live 3
That bass saxophone though
I love the contra bass sax

Love this performance

I love you Erzaaaaaaa, you make me so happy!!!!

Dude, that drummer's hi-hat position is making me uncomfortable.
extremely common....
Reminds you of me? Splendid!
its sounds like he says ive got to find a better weave!!
Well usually singer lip sinc it but you can tell he sung it straight I respect it
much better than the studio version.
I'm glad they got Danny Devito on the sax back there.
gonna see em live!!!!!:)))
that sax player looks pretty dapper.
Son lo máximo!!
underrated
Nice use of the big saxophone thing!
bad soundmix on snl part
Did Ezra said enchilada during the chorus? 😂
Love it!
0:07 he looks frightened xD
2:20 best part!
Ezra looks like a Vampire here.
i had no idea the low notes were from the contrabass sax until i saw this oh ym god
It's a bass sax, a contrabass is longer
Rostam rockin' the Silvertone 1483 amps! This amp is also a long-time favorite of R.E.M.'s Peter Buck.
Head over to Silvertone World to check 'em out!
Like you dude
how does he do the part of "baby baby baby.." where it goes up and down (the voice)?
when you see him doing the first baby's , rostam is standing up in front of a little machine that changes his voice :)
It's actually a bass saxophone! But definitely awesome I agree:)
Is that a bass sax I see? PeRfEcT! :D
is it just me or modern vampires of the city is one of those things that happen a few times evry many many years
the luck of a Kennedy :)
Didn't know Gabe from The Office was in Vampire Weekend...
Goddamn.
That's a lot of babies.
Right
I really want to know how the band is able to pull of the pitch effect off live. I want to try it.
Did anyone else find this video after watching Ask A Mortician's video on the Forgotten New England American Vampire Panic and be disappointed that Vampire Weekend wasn't done up in actual vampire makeup and red contact lenses?
'sup, it's me. I was playing the bass sax on that.
If that really was you... you did an amazing job. How did you get that gig?
HAHAHHAHAHA you're so funny :D
