+A-stoned-rose Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl (Nirvana) and dont forget the kings in Neil Peart and Keith Moon! Look em up if you havent yet!
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
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.
+Ralph Smith He is amazing but dont forget about Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl (Nirvana) and the Godfathers in Neil Peart (Rush) and Keith Moon(The Who)! Look em up if you havent yet!
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.

@@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 ;)
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 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.
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!
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!
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've been searching for this for years. I caught the second half of this performance when channel surfing one night and was blown away by the intensity of the performance and unique vocals. Couldn't remember the name of the band the next day. Very happy to have found this.
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!
la plupart des gens prétendent que les groupes comme ( Tagada Jones, mary had gun...) et encore plein d'autre, sont les meilleurs groupes Français, mais pour moi nos bonnes musiques, nos fiertés sont tout d'abord, celle de Phoenix qui est, et restera un des plus grands groupes Français qui a conquis l'Amérique et même le monde entier .
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.
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.

Drugs lol
Josh Dunn from 21 Pilots.. =)
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.

***** do you feel the need to be unnecessarily contrary for no fucking reason.
***** dude pls don't be a douche
- everyone on this chain
Brancooooo
Chill out bro, its just glasses
@Quiksilver if all you care about is technical ability then you don't know what talent is
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.
The drummer.... nuff said
Unbelievable !! So good
The drummer is workin’ hard as hell!
Cult of Luna 🤘🏻❤️
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.
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
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.

Ugh I love this. This song definitely got me out of my rut in high school

This band and this song just picked me up for life
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
Anyone in 2024 search this video to remember what listening to indie felt like again?
the drummer was feeling it
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.
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
This sounds so much like the album version
They are really good live
stevemrmusic9 lol no they’re not
Nice pfp 🎸🎸🎸🎸
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.
you can actually put another drum in front on his head.
lmfao
Hahaha
He's a modest guy.
lol
Vivent les bons groupes français !
"And this is what I think of your microphone, Letterman." DROP.
The passion of the drummer makes me love music more than ever, bravo!
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
They won a grammy for best Alternative album! Love this song!
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
I remember this every couple years...hello from January 2022...I'll be back
Hello from December 2023...I'll be back
They sound absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!
The drummer here and the singer from Future Islands need to start their own band. Pure chaotic energy.
Lol, underrated comment.
I cry each time
Same
Everyone's all chill but the drummer in the background is just going absolutely nuts.
This was a special moment in time and music short but sweet era of 2007 to 2010
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.
The drummer is fucking amazing !!!!
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.
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
I first listened to this band like 5 days ago and automatically became one of my 5 fav bands ❤️
Nice pfp🎸🎸🎸
Amazing live..they KILLED IT!
U mean NAILED IT
This song gives me so much feels! Like teen summer, being free, first loves, new experiences ❤
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 love how much energy their drummer has, he really makes this performance for me
The rare example of sounding live like you do in the studio, great song
OMG!! What a performance!!! Just epic!!!!
Damn they sound great live!
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!
Damn there’s like... no mistakes, and it doesn’t sound pitch corrected... TALENTTT
It is amazing that Thomas Hedlund is just a touring member.
The can't afford him.
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.
The drummer also plays in a metal band called Cult of Luna...
love the drummer
So talented
The drummer is how music should make everyone feel.
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!
Fav live performance from them
This performance made me buy the cd 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Damn Phoenix put on a great show
If that drummer commits to his relationships like he commits to the beats, then his life is probably amazing.
Love everything about this from beginning to end
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!
Amazing!
Letterman was like drummer, u gud bruh?
It's amazing what the right drummer can do to a good song.
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!
The real star of the performance is Thomas for getting the microphone to hit the floor on beat after he tosses it
'"You alright, you going to be OK?" Letterman to drummer
I looked this up again just for the drummer
Sheesh what a great peaceful song. 🤙🏼
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?
the drummer is feeling it
_Nostalgic..._
Un des plus grand groupe franco anglophone, belles mélodies, un batteur hors du commun.
Who's watching in 1901?
Rogue Phoenix 1902, sorry...
Mark Ruffalo is an underrated guitarist.
Lol
The drummer was going crazy back there. So much energy ❤
Why does coming back to this make me wanna smile and cry?? Ugh the best times to this song ❤
That Drummer is badass. He doesn't play the drums he becomes possessed by them.
They kicked ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been searching for this for years. I caught the second half of this performance when channel surfing one night and was blown away by the intensity of the performance and unique vocals. Couldn't remember the name of the band the next day. Very happy to have found this.
Every live video I have seen, the drummer is off the chain! Love it.
Better than french fries
Wow, they sound really good live, unlike other bands.
Loving how the editors couldn't resist splicing in more than a few shots of the drummer.
The chorus is soo good!!! Identical to the album!!
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.

Michael Odom damn right :)
Matt Tong of Bloc Party is also a similarly spectacular drummer.
Nailed it !
it nice to see a band that sounds great live. And that drummer is my hero for jamming like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
drummer take many coffee
pleasure. Not even it's red bull mix with monster

Yeahh .....the drummer kicks some ass..... Love ittt.
There are metal drummers who play less passionately.
Does anyone else think the lead singer looks like amazing Phil 😂
I can't seem to get enough of 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 dont think his pissed about the micro, hes used to it, remember when the vines appeared in this show years ago, a complete mess
Dude looks like animal from the muppets
absolutely sick performance!
Now THIS is how you drum! Even on live TV, the drums still swing and carry the song. Bravo!
