A click track wouldn’t add anything to the sound, just keep them in time. Most bands that incorporate electronic elements will use them. I think they are using backing tracks, though. The vocals sound doubled. Also RIP that mic at the end. Made me cringe.
@@JoshWDylan If the vocals are doubled then he's doing an incredible time keeping with the track, I never hear them split. They are at least using tracks for the weird sound at the beginning tho.
Eli Davidson Word. Maybe just a very well incorporated delay? I’m definitely hearing some sort of “thickening” effect in the pre-chorus/chorus. It sounds like it thins back out to just his vocals in the verse, but maybe I’m just hearing wrong. Either way, they’re super talented dudes! It takes a lot of skill to play to a click OR a backing track and stay so closely on-beat that no one would notice.

@@eduardoruiz1914Mate everyone knows those drummers. They are all from famous mainstream bands, and they are indeed great. Thomas is not nearly as well-known but holy shit if he isn't one of the greats too. Similarly there is another drummer from his hometown, Morgan Ågren, who could quite possibly be THE greatest drummer. Now THAT'S someone for you to look up, Morgan Ågren ;)
Lead singer and bassist and guitarist are dancing. Other guitarist is extremely focused on his strumming. Keyboard dude is head banging. Drummer is having a seizure. BEST BAND.
For those of you making fun of the guitarist with glasses - he's friends with daft punk and was in a band with daft punk before daft punk was daft punk. Dude is 110% talent
Saw this live on tv . I was 13 years old and just moved to Indiana from California because of the 2008 recession . Life was extremely rough and downright sad . I missed to the city and it’s loud beautiful spirit. But I turned the tv on and here was a band that just blew my mind. I was hypnotized and just for a couple of minutes I thought to myself that everything might be okay. Great band ! Great performance !
Hope you are doing well now friend. I live all the way on the other Coast brother, and perhaps someday I'll journey to California or you'll journey to the east coast.
With the way things turned out for Cali maybe everything was meant to turn out how it did, unfortunate situation but I know plenty of people still there suffering even more given what it’s become. Life is funny that way
Where the Sundays and the Cars and New Order left off, these gentlemen have taken the baton and run into the future with it. A new old sound, hard to do, but brilliant and now this is my favorite band. I'm old. I don't listen to much of the new music because there is so much crap, but dumb old me... I'm learning there is much to be missed. I am glad I didn't miss out on this band completely. I saw them by accident last night, bored to death, nothing but lies on TV, but PBS was highlighting this band on Center Stage, and I was mesmerized by the sound. Right on vocals, great musicality. They take you on a ride that is at once in the moment and somehow nostalgic. A pleasure really.
Can't believe these guys have been around since 2000 and I'm just now being introduced to them. Their music will hold me off until the next Strokes album.
I didn't know they were this good live. What I also like about them is that even though they chose to sing in English, they have remained as French as can be. Hilarious drummer, ahahahah!
Saw phoenix at the roundhouse in london......what a VENUE...more importantly what a BAND.....has completely restored my faith in bands. These guys put so much passion into their performances.......magnifique!
I kept hearing part of this on a Cadilac commercial, and asked everyone I knew if they knew the group...drove me batshit for weeks! And then.....dur!....I came to You Tube and typed in "cadilac commercial" ...and VOILA!! ... there it was! I still love listening to this!
This is a nice song.I remember hearing this song about 2 years ago on a cadillac car commercial. And then I heard it today on a superbowl commercial and it reminded me how great of a song it is.
I saw this the night it aired and I loved it. I never imagined I’d find anything of interest from a professional clown who reads jokes written FOR him, but I was wrong. Thank you Phoenix! And thank the joke writers for going on strike and forcing Letterman to air re-runs, thereby exposing him as the talent-less hack he always was.
First of all, he's very clearly either singing along to a backing track or lip synching entirely during the choruses at least. Secondly, I was so confused when I found out he's saying "fold it" lmao like what?
I love this band. The album is amazing and I freak out when I hear it in places or a radio station playing their music, because it is so good. I have to admit though that I don't listen to the radio often because it is mostly complete garbage. American rock is dead! F hip-hop! and F our tired and stupid radio stations here in the US. Thanks to the Indie rock scene in Canada and the rest of the world for picking up the slack!
He has to be the most passionate drummer I've ever seen. Woah
Have you seen Ronnie Vannucci from The Killers? He's pretty amazing too.

Josh Dunn from 21 Pilots.. =)
he is so precise. He knew he would be criticized for using a voice track -so he threw the mic to prove that he didn't.
Damned amazing vocals.
This sounds literally JUST like the album!
Not JUST like the album, but pretty damn close! They're amazing live omg 😂

And very rarely do you get that because a lot of performers are nervous to perform on stage.
To me, this drummer is the best in the world.

Check out Rory O'connor from the band tycho he is a fucking metronome!
Ralph Smith he's really fucking good
Ralph Smith drummer of mutemath is a beast
than you know very little about drumming
The drummer is a spectacle. Completely mesmerizing.

The drummer.... nuff said
Unbelievable !! So good
The drummer is workin’ hard as hell!
Cult of Luna 🤘🏻❤️
The drummer is having his own party back there...
it's called passion.
Helps with timing, when you put your whole body to a rhythm. Wish u had the best 6years of your life man…
Dude plays drums in Cult of Luna as well.

Omg. The drummer is like a volcano in eruption.
What does that even mean?
yesss haaaahaa
***** OMG....
***** no it's not, is gross!
Aldo Marquez he's French: we love our baguettes
Everyone should drum like that.
Amen! Keyboard player was no slouch, either! The one guitarist was smiling in euphoria. They just KILLED IT the whole band.
not really necessary

Chill out bro, its just glasses

This band and this song just picked me up for life
I judge songs by 3 performances. Album version, live version, letterman version. These guys nailed all 3. No one told me about the drummer.
You should never forget about drummer version. Never!

First saw the on Austin city limits last year. My new favorite band
A thoughtful, resonant comment on UA-cam... Flagging as inappropriate.
the drummer was feeling it
They won a grammy for best Alternative album! Love this song!
The universe has blessed whoever mixed this
This was a special moment in time and music short but sweet era of 2007 to 2010
Vous avez mis le feu à la clôture des JO de Paris 2024💪🙏🙏
Heureusement qu'ils étaient là ♥
This sounds so much like the album version
They are really good live
stevemrmusic9 lol no they’re not
Nice pfp 🎸🎸🎸🎸
I remember this every couple years...hello from January 2022...I'll be back
Hello from December 2023...I'll be back
@@dosprompt5418 Aren't you back after the Olympics closing ceremony ?
@@dosprompt5418come back
Hello everyone in France. I haven't been there in 30 years but I loved your country. Hope to get back someday. Phoenix is great, i love music.
Tu es le bienvenu en France 🇫🇷 ❤
im loving all these comments about the drummer must say he does rock though
I'm afraid to mention Keith Moon. These folks might never return. Its nice to actually hear drums:)
If animal from the Muppets turned human he would be that drummer.
They sound absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!
"And this is what I think of your microphone, Letterman." DROP.
Everyone's all chill but the drummer in the background is just going absolutely nuts.
I searched this, I was expecting it to be worse than the CD,
but oh my... they are so freakin good, there is no way you can't love this
The passion of the drummer makes me love music more than ever, bravo!
The drummer is how music should make everyone feel.
Six guys, some guitars, drums and lots of energy. Simple. Unpretentious - it's all about the music. This is what great rock music is about.
I cry each time
Same
Gotta love the smiles and nods the lead guitarist gives to the crowd starting at 00:34
branco and christian's smiles and pure joy you can tell they're having performing are my favorite part of this live!
Bravo les gars pour votre perf aux JO Paris 24 !!!!
I first listened to this band like 5 days ago and automatically became one of my 5 fav bands ❤️
Nice pfp🎸🎸🎸
7 years ago? Jeez time goes quickly
WHERE
It sure does
And now it’s been 7 years since you commented about the video being 7 years old
thie comment is 7 years old
Amazing live..they KILLED IT!
U mean NAILED IT
Can't believe these guys have been around since 2000 and I'm just now being introduced to them. Their music will hold me off until the next Strokes album.
you can actually put another drum in front on his head.
lmfao
Hahaha
He's a modest guy.
lol
I love how much energy their drummer has, he really makes this performance for me
Every live video I have seen, the drummer is off the chain! Love it.
The drummer here and the singer from Future Islands need to start their own band. Pure chaotic energy.
Lol, underrated comment.
Anyone in 2024 search this video to remember what listening to indie felt like again?
Vivent les bons groupes français !
Such a good song…always puts me in a good mood hearing this and now this video just completes the vibe ..and that drummer!
The rare example of sounding live like you do in the studio, great song
Damn they sound great live!
The drummer also plays in a metal band called Cult of Luna...
What did they give the drummer before the performance....
MD
They told him the snare owed him money
Angelina Sheppard a gallon of PCP.
Feelings
Aids
Love everything about this from beginning to end
I would kill for a drum cam only shot of this performance. My man is absolutely crushing it
Damn there’s like... no mistakes, and it doesn’t sound pitch corrected... TALENTTT
The drummer is fucking amazing !!!!
It is amazing that Thomas Hedlund is just a touring member.
The can't afford him.
Why does coming back to this make me wanna smile and cry?? Ugh the best times to this song ❤
The drummer was going crazy back there. So much energy ❤
If that drummer commits to his relationships like he commits to the beats, then his life is probably amazing.
I didn't know they were this good live. What I also like about them is that even though they chose to sing in English, they have remained as French as can be. Hilarious drummer, ahahahah!
That was so epic he dropped the mike!
Saw phoenix at the roundhouse in london......what a VENUE...more importantly what a BAND.....has completely restored my faith in bands. These guys put so much passion into their performances.......magnifique!
OMG!! What a performance!!! Just epic!!!!
love the drummer
cool song even though they look like software developers :p
Neil Gonzaga lmfaoo😂😂😂😂
What the fuck are they supposed to look like, you judgmental bastard?
@@gabrielgomez1395 easy dude it's a joke
@@gabrielgomez1395 hahahahah
HAHAHA
The real star of the performance is Thomas for getting the microphone to hit the floor on beat after he tosses it
I kept hearing part of this on a Cadilac commercial, and asked everyone I knew if they knew the group...drove me batshit for weeks! And then.....dur!....I came to You Tube and typed in "cadilac commercial" ...and VOILA!! ... there it was! I still love listening to this!
Je ne connaissais pas le groupe , mais je le l'ai vu aux jo et c'est le top cette musique, je suis fan depuis ce jour
Damn Phoenix put on a great show
'"You alright, you going to be OK?" Letterman to drummer
the drummer is feeling it
It's amazing what the right drummer can do to a good song.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVE THIIIIIIIISSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's 2024. Just discovered this.
Letterman was like drummer, u gud bruh?
Who's here in 2024!
Amazing!
Un des plus grand groupe franco anglophone, belles mélodies, un batteur hors du commun.
it nice to see a band that sounds great live. And that drummer is my hero for jamming like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That Drummer is badass. He doesn't play the drums he becomes possessed by them.
guitarist on the left looks like leonard from the big bang theory haha
HAHAHA I laughed for days omg, I call them sheldon and leonard now gaha omg good shit.
lol nah, singer looks like messi.
Gituarist on the right looks like Raj from the big bang theory
Why have so many people seen the Big Bang theory?
Wow, they sound really good live, unlike other bands.
God I still love this! coming to America again this summer with Beck!
Enfin un talent français, pour une fois qu'on peut être fière d'un groupe made in french !
Matt Tong of Bloc Party is also a similarly spectacular drummer.
They kicked ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark Ruffalo is an underrated guitarist.
Lol

tell em, Joel
Better than french fries
The chorus is soo good!!! Identical to the album!!
Fav live performance from them

Michael Odom damn right :)
Thomas Hedlund always looks like he is drumming in a metal band, even when he isn't haha
Cult of Luna - Check him out there
FUN AND FUN lovely live by phoenix, the drummer on fire
A literal beast on the drums.
Does anyone else think the lead singer looks like amazing Phil 😂
i dont think his pissed about the micro, hes used to it, remember when the vines appeared in this show years ago, a complete mess
There are metal drummers who play less passionately.
Lots of good music coming from France lately-Phoenix, M83. Love it.
This performance made me buy the cd 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Dude looks like animal from the muppets
