These guys just crawled out of their bunks on the bus, headed to the makeshift stage & nailed this song. Their attire is great because It shows they're just normal guys who make amazing music together.
They’re not even close to being “normal guys.” Normal people NEED to dress up and they NEED the million-dollar stage/lighting/engineers because they aren’t the special, extremely talented and disciplined true musicians that these artists are.
I saw these guys live in San Francisco's Bridge School Benefit Concert. This little band-that-could stole the show!! My favorite videos are always live acoustic performances. Keep making music guys -- You rock!!
This is just phenomenal! One of the best versions of this song I've heard. Can't wait to hear what they've done with it in the studio when Babel is released! :-))
AHHHHHH.... Marcus's mustache.... attractive.... delicious... a part of my heart was just ripped out and then it repared itself making more room for the love of Marcus and Mumford & Sons.
I am not at all partial to cussing...and frankly abhor it...but hOLY SHIT! This is a most amazing sound that these fine gentlemen have pieced together and if it holds any sort of prophetic words for their next album...I read platinum all over it! Thank you Mumford and Sons for just continuing to do what you do best. Thanks for making me cuss...in a good way though.
Love it! It's so anti-Gap/Old Navy/American Eagle. Nobody's going to try to "brand" that style. Everyone wearing their grey military-style Coldplay hats should give their heads a shake.
Was Ted a bit under the weather here? He looks a slight bit pale and I just always wondered whether he was sitting because it was easier for playing or for some other reason..? Anyone know?
OMG there is soooooo much wrong here. Seriously, boys? White a-frame undershirts and dual-coloured knee-length shorts? Apparently only Marcus and Ted made it to waredrobe before the show. The song is good, good, good, but the crowd appears to be crazy glued to their seats. I was fully expecting a law-enforcement figure to suddenly appear and chastise the crowd for their taste in music, then arrest Ben for his poor taste in clothing.

To all the people saying the fans were too quiet, they probably asked the audience to stay quiet during the recording.
Marcuss voice is so fucking powerful, it's insane
I will never get enough of their passion.. The passion in Marcus' eyes is so intoxicating
Their live sound is just like a record and that`s why I love them
The Sound of Babel I love at for ever
I missing mumford and sons so bad winston come back!
Holy moley, this performance gives me chills... Amazing recording quality, too.
Their live sound is exactly the same as their record sound and that's so hard to find in a group these days. Props to these guys.
When the violin comes in at 3:20 , this becomes EPIC!
Passion... always, everywhere and in everything they do.
It just can't get better than this.
BrdJkbwsk those lucky mf in the audience were like. Duhhh who are these guys¿
John Morgan we were recording and where asked to be quiet. I was there
What a passive crowd!!! I would be dancing with these men! Just too great a song man!
Legend has it, the audience is still sitting there motionless.
I saw these guys live in San Francisco's Bridge School Benefit Concert. This little band-that-could stole the show!! My favorite videos are always live acoustic performances. Keep making music guys -- You rock!!
Just when I thought this song couldn't get any better, I hear this genious version. Beautiful
My absolute favorite song of theirs. Absolutely gorgeous
Unbelievable good
When you get to close to these guys, there so amazing you just kinda stood and sit in a trance or fall on the floor
Love this new one. These guys are just amazing and so happy they are doing so well!!!
Brilliant to add the violin for this song.
Mumford & Sons, Perfect & Epic
I agree, the violin sounds incredible with this song hes a great musician
Love this song! What’s with the audience. Seriously!
3:20 is beautiful! Mumford and sons are growing to be my favorite band, and I love youtube for having al these wonderful videos
WHY IS NO ONE IN THE CROWD CRYING
Rich live sound nice work
You're so awesome. You, and a few others, make being a Mumford & Sons fan even better. I love finding your comments.
:)
i want his guitar!
This is just phenomenal! One of the best versions of this song I've heard. Can't wait to hear what they've done with it in the studio when Babel is released! :-))
They may be just in awe... I know I would be
I'm wondering if the audience members actually have a pulse??! There's no way I could have just sat there like a statue!
I love winstons shorts
me too

PS - if I were fortunate to be in this audience.. I would have jumped up whootin' and clap at the end of the song!
This makes me cry.
i wish i had a lover
in the album this song is my favorite!!! especially the chorus
i couldn't just sit down like the people in this video. this needs to be fucking danced to.
Amazing! ❤
this gorgeous Martin man...i want one..
So good!
these guys better win album of the year at the grammys. not that i give a shit about the grammys but these guys are too good to not win.
What Is wrong with the people watching this awesomeness happening in front of them? Are they deaf? I was rocking out just watching a video of this!
Who the hell disliked this? Oh well, I gues if only one person disliked out of 40,000+ views the world is pretty much right.
@NJPearce22 you mean, it becomes epic-er. its epic the whole way through :)
I wondered when you'd show up in mumford's vids.
Coolest bass
Love it! It's so anti-Gap/Old Navy/American Eagle. Nobody's going to try to "brand" that style. Everyone wearing their grey military-style Coldplay hats should give their heads a shake.
Oh winston, DEM SHORTS!
@gbcktbug no problem. in that other comment i wrote i was thinking about the other dave fm video sorry lol
geez tough crowd. Boys singing their hearts out and you can hear but nah, just stay in your chairs then
For those that don't know Ross and his fiddle are regulars on this song
that was the shit!!!!!!!!!
no problem. that's why winston laughs at him when he takes his chair lol
That audience should be ashamed of themselves. I would be losing my sh*t if I just witnessed that, live!
He's not married yet..there's always hope;P
the last 1/3 is slightly reminiscent of beirut..a bit more vigorous I think, but still has a likeness
@pinkpenguin0923 ahhhh silly me, that makes sense lol thank yehs!
What guitar is marcus playing in the vid? it's obviosly a martin dreadnought.. maybe a d-42 or d-45V?
hahaha Your comment killed me!!! Hilarous!
is that a resonator bass? that's fuckin' awesome!
What kind of guitar is that
People just sitting there like these dude aren’t jamming the f out. Ffs
does anyone know the tuning of the guitar ? it seems to be an open tuning, right ? :)
+Benjamin Flores Yes you´re right, like most songs on Babel :)
@iMilodesigns im jealous!
No Ted?
Was Ted a bit under the weather here? He looks a slight bit pale and I just always wondered whether he was sitting because it was easier for playing or for some other reason..? Anyone know?
Die Zuschauer sind echt ruhig ich könnt da nicht still sitzen;))
They're probably wondering where this rag-a-muffin looking band just came in from, they look like a hot mess ;) Lol... Love it!!!
@gbcktbug he's sitting because he didn't have a strap
One person needs to re-calibrate his mouse.

I wish to never meet a crowd like this. They act like they don’t care about anything in the world. They don’t deserve to listen to this song live
what a disappointing crowd haha. How can you not be boiling over with excitement?!
The band's manager should never let the bango player wear those clothes onstage ever again. That's just disrespecting the audience.
