- Some concerts build gradually, tentatively, until they reach an encore full of rousing classics. Others open at full blast and somehow find ways to open the throttle from there. As TV On The Radio began closing out NPR Music's SXSW showcase, held at Stubb's BBQ in Austin, it was clear that no time would be wasted on slow-footing or throat-clearing. From the opening song - "Young Liars," a 2003 favorite that's aged wonderfully - the band unleashed a storm that barely let up in intensity.It helps that, five terrific albums into a long and fruitful career, TVOTR has only further sharpened a soulful, genre-smashing rock sound that's both wonderfully inventive and from-the-gut accessible. Last fall's Seeds sanded down some of the band's experimental edges, but its songs are wall-to-wall crowd-pleasers, made to be cranked out to the heavens above downtown Austin. But even selections from earlier in the group's discography were dispensed with electric ferocity befitting a night of thrilling performances. (Not many bands could follow Stromae, but damned if TVOTR didn't rise to the challenge.)TV On The Radio hasn't had an easy time in recent years; its members had questioned whether to even stay together following the death of bassist Gerard Smith in 2011. But as Seeds and this performance demonstrate, crucibles are there to help bring about renewed purpose and vitality. This is the sound of a band restored and revived - never more powerful, never more alive. -- STEPHEN THOMPSON

TVOTR is truly one of the best kept secrets. Wishing for a new album and tour.
24 hours ago i didn't know anything about this band, now i think i found a band with the potential of being one of my favs bands, i hope so.
Two years in, how do you feel about them now?
Qué tal ahora?
I saw em in 2004-ish with Beep Beep. That night I went home with my then girlfriend and made my now 16 year old daughter. From the future 2020 July love you guys!
I am an old school punker, but I really dig these guys.
thank you for clarifying yourself; I could have gone my whole life never knowing
Booty shaking brilliance. They can go from punk rock to doo wop and all places in between. Amazing band live. TVotR please make new album!!!!
4:33 Love dog just awesome.
So beautiful. Almost a chant, elevate me.
I'd love to see TV on The Radio and Thom Yorke collaborate.
I went to SXSW once -- got too high and didn't fall in love but still a solid experience.
Like Elton John said " Electric music...solid walls of sound"
Quel groupe ! Fan absolu de leur intelligence et de leur énergie
Anyone remember the cameo on Portlandia?
need to see this concert complete
We need more new music, fellas!!!
I didn't know that there are two vocals on these songs :(( I'm amazed!
Empathic words for narcissistic times:
Could you love somebody?
Could you hold another's care above your bright lights?
Could you open up your heart, are you too uptight?
Could you work to build something besides a wall?
Could you love somebody, anyone at all?
"Is everybody alright?"
MMMHHHmmmmmmmmm...We can turn this ship around with out those that tear down and build walls.
holy crap its good
greatness
Spotify's playlist Greatest Bands of The Entire Universe You Should Definitely Know brought me here...
Why are there so few good Tv on the Radio live shows on youtube?
@NPR Music

I love what he said…”maybe you wanna get high, but not too high, then maybe you gonna fall in love”
Brutha knows how to hook a playa up if you know what to do when u look up and she’s looking back to you. Woowee!
♥️
What happened to the Young Liars video of this show. It was as out on UA-cam, but they took it down. It was an awesome performance.
So right. When. Things are so wrong.
One of the Great Original American Rock Bands.
if God exist...bless them!
Seeds is their best album. Fight me.
Leave it to NPR to leach onto an amazing talent in order to provide itself relevance.
wow this is great stuff, these guys are too good to be popular if you know what I mean, sad commentary for sure, Peace !
Is that Elliot Bergman from Wild Belle?
awesome sst, just wish the mix was better.
Anyone there find a shoe? Red shoe. Name " Lance" written inside.?
This was like 5 years ago
Just 3 songs ☹️
This is not TV On The Radio.........
What do you mean it's not? Definitely is playing songs from seeds
I'm wondering the same
I love listening to TVOTR, but they just seem boring live.
austinisi I just caught them in Houston a few weeks back and I promise you couldn't be more wrong. One of the best shows I've seen in years. DLZ as the last song before the encore is going to be one the best concert memories I'll ever have. It was amazing how into it the entire crowd was.
austinisi I just saw them in Dallas last month, and they were pretty fantastic. Somehow this video doesn't do their performance justice. Sounds great, though.
austinisi agree that they seem boring from this video, but having been to a show myself, I would have to agree with those other commenters. Watching this band live is like watching fireworks; and maybe they're better seen in person than any other way 🎆🌿
austinisi I can understand why you would think that but, having seen them three times in three drastically different venues, they have a weird primal energy when you're in the room with them. They've never failed to get the crowd excited and really energetic, even in fancy sit-down venues.
austinisi "seem" boring implies you have yet to do so. Go check 'em out and get back to us.
