When I saw them in Scotland a couple of weeks ago they did the opening chords and everyone shouted the "2, 1-2-3-4" along with them and then it just went BATSHIT CRAZY.
+DynomiteKid65 He does. When I saw him last year, the ticket said "no recording", there were signs that said "no recording", and a voiceover on a PA system said "no recording" right before they came on. I'm glad there's video but I feel guilty watching it because it was a clear disrespect of his wishes to record it.
+DynomiteKid65 he wants the shows, and prefers the shows, to be as intimate of an experience as possible, which is also why he loves the soft sing alongs. I think it's good that someone records it, but yeah, he sure does dislike it.
"wahh I can't hear Jeff's sweet voice" get over it. The drums are one of the things that make neutral milk hotel so great not just pretty boy Jeff and his sweet little boy voice.
@@2ndimaginarysymphony813it was a Reddit post from long ago. He didn’t do any of that. The man they’re talking about is Nessey Gallons I think. Julian and him were really close friends but never had any intimate relationship to my knowledge
@@nolanwolfejulian and nesey are friends again but nesey never took back what they said about him (listen to the album misprisions). at this point i think they are past it and it isn’t worth discussing much.
Saw Jeff play this live in an all acoustic one person show. Awesome, then I saw it with the band and remembered that this a rock album. A rock album. Sure, it has elements of folk pop and was magical with just Jeff and a guitar, but it’s a rock album, meant to be performed with a rock band. It just struts and is shambolic powerful brilliance with a distortion and amps turned to 11. The middle finger that Jeff is giving to fascists is palpable when this is played as a rock album and comes through in no other way.
There’s something real sad about seeing the live performance of Holland 1945, seeing older Jeff sing about Anne Frank. Like an old man singing about his lover he had when he was young, that he lost.
That doesn't make you a professional. I can sell socks for a living, that doesn't make me a professional sock salesman, does it? This is independent music, quite the opposite of professional.
Professional does not necessarily equal big money and suits. A professional is someone who is better than most at a particular job and does it for their livelihood. Neutral Milk Hotel is an organised group of professional musicians who exclusively use metal mouth pieces on their high brass instruments. To answer your question, yes I do believe you can be a pro level sock salesman.
+Lonus Bjonus can't really form a conclusion on the sound of the show, when your judgement is determined by this video...filmed on a phone. just sayin...
If the bassist is spinning you know it's a good song
Hoe Bonamassa Ikr Juilian Koster is the best xD
So every primus song? I agree :D
the BASSIST is Julian Koster
That’s how i measure the coolness of a new song. I become S P I N N Y B O I
Julian Koster looks like that weird cousin
When I saw them in Scotland a couple of weeks ago they did the opening chords and everyone shouted the "2, 1-2-3-4" along with them and then it just went BATSHIT CRAZY.
same thing in Paris
Same in May of last year!!
They should freeze and cry. This song is about Ann Frank and her theft of life. But it's joyous in her memory.
@@chasebob8327 The entire album is basically about the Holocaust
@@scottandersen4798 specifically Anne Frank doe and her pov of the WW2
I feel guilty watching this because I know Jeff hates being recorded...but fuck.
Does he actually tho? like besides the ARE YOU RECORDING ME meme, he seems nervous performing.
+DynomiteKid65 He does. When I saw him last year, the ticket said "no recording", there were signs that said "no recording", and a voiceover on a PA system said "no recording" right before they came on.
I'm glad there's video but I feel guilty watching it because it was a clear disrespect of his wishes to record it.
SleighJessi I wonder why that is, i imagine him as a peaceful dude, why would he care if someones recording him i wonder.
+DynomiteKid65 he wants the shows, and prefers the shows, to be as intimate of an experience as possible, which is also why he loves the soft sing alongs. I think it's good that someone records it, but yeah, he sure does dislike it.
this is so weird this song sounds exactly like on the album even the noise and low fi is there
Lol it really doesn't, their live performances lack the insane compression that the post production provided
And that’s the way we like it
@@donovanlight6278 well its being recorded on someones phone camera 😂
How is Julian not getting tangled in his own bass cord?
it is cordless
lol! @@Ohmuniac
Watching them still playing together fills me with so much happiness.
Lol, you're right :((
@@HekkIsBurning outstanding
0:19
They were going off so hard Jeff had to activate star power
Underrated comment
Jeff is one of the greatest song writers of all time. Also James Mercer
Completely agree
And Doug Martsch
Go shins!
Yeah. But Magnum is high up there while there are many ahead of mercer by a long shot. But I guess you're talking about Jeffs in particular.
Love NMH, hate the shins! Polar opposites on my personal music spectrum.
Can barely hear the vocals over the drums
His vocals are so lively and honest specially in this song... its sad that they were a bit too low
+Hanna Hutchinson Agreed. But the drums at 2:18 are waaay too great.
yeah they’ve had trouble mixing lmao
all amateur recordings usually have the drums overpowering the rest of the band, it probably sounded alright live
"wahh I can't hear Jeff's sweet voice" get over it. The drums are one of the things that make neutral milk hotel so great not just pretty boy Jeff and his sweet little boy voice.
Barely stumbled upon this album a few days ago!! Omg have I been missing out
Jake Flores Better late than never!
very true
Yo me tope con este álbum hace unos meses, me arrepiento de no haberlo hecho mucho antes..
I want to hear this live but I want the whole crowd singing along
julian koster is the most precious human being ever
@@sealine22aj where did you hear about this
@@sealine22aj he did? When was this and what evidence is there?

these drums are so simple yet because of the loudness are so emotional
julian is just a legitimate crazy person and i love it
>this is not a love song festival
>the song literally starts with "the only girl i've ever loved..."
Its for Anne Frank
This is not a love song either, boy.
Guys I think it's a joke

All these people have aged like a fine wine and that’s beautiful.
I didnt know the guy from duck dynasty had a band
shut up
+Ryan Camire "that looks like that!" isn't quite high tier comedy.
Hilarious!!!
Damn bro you got the whole squad laughing 😐
The raw phone recording makes it sound like the record much respect
did they use a fuzz pedal on the bass?
I think its just muffled by Jeff's beard.
To this day the best show I've ever seen, glad I was able to see them once
Agree. It was a literal dream come true.
It was a magical tour ❤
OMG I LOVE NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Y'know, when i think of heaven i think of *HOLLAND, 1945'S CHORUS AND OUTRO*
You can just see Jermey going apeshit on the drums and smiling so hard in the background. God I love neutral milk hotel.
Amazing stuff. Such a great song.
My fave Neutral Milk Hotel song yesssss
I want to hear a Julian Koster bass solo so bad!
I love that Jeff is STILL putting himself off to the side
Jeff please please please make more music.
Are you recording me?
You son of a bitch!
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
What?
Damn Jeff dat beard
Best band in the world, hands down!
What a great album!
Will & Will, Who else?

Me too :D
Watdafakdude me
Awesome!
I cant find a digital version of this song on youtube mobile
Its blocked for mobile phones, iPads and other stuff. Don't know why
Bryan Perez It's on spotify though.
Fuck off nazi trash
How does jeff have his guitar strapped like that?

Y’all romanticize pedophilia a little too hard
How topical is it now?(
Thanks Jeff Mangum for existing
julian is just good
Vim aq so por conta do will e will ... Algum brasileiro? *-*
+Jheniffer Danielle varios
Hahahaha Eu também
The drums sound a little too loud on this.
Badger from Breaking Bad on bass
grammy nominee jeff magnum :,)
irrelevant.
you bllllleeeeeeewwwwwwww it.
You had your chance and you blew it.
Okay so this is obviously about Anne frank
Yes. Everyone agrees.
The first part is, the rest is compiled of lucid dreams he’s had.
@@jvle- lucid dreams about anne frank
Not quite my tempo
lol 3d deathgrips on jah
What kind of a professional performer uses a plastic mouth piece on their tuba?
These aren't "professional" performers.
Kyle Smyth They're doing it for a living so it's totally professional. Regardless, they should want the best sound possible for their instruments.
That doesn't make you a professional. I can sell socks for a living, that doesn't make me a professional sock salesman, does it? This is independent music, quite the opposite of professional.
Professional does not necessarily equal big money and suits. A professional is someone who is better than most at a particular job and does it for their livelihood.

To answer your question, yes I do believe you can be a pro level sock salesman.
he wanted that sound, it's simple. and it sounds amazing for the purposes of the band ; )
i don't understand this strange hippie stuff
Lol
Pleb
You don't have to. Just enjoy it.
無添加牛乳宿
It should be illegal not to sing along
God the sound guy needs Jesus. Drums are way too loud. No idea how Jeff is Singing. It damn sure ain’t being able to hear himself
ANN FRANK ANN FRANK ANN FRANK
everytyhign drowns out anythying, its a mess
Such a great song, and performers except that fucking drummer.
It just wouldn't be Neutral Milk Hotel without Jeremy Barnes' killer drums
Yep, he fucked everything up. Rushing right out of the gate, never got in the pocket. He needs more practice with a metronome.
just give a fucking wide shot of the band. its not hard
wow the worst sound guy no offense but really
+Lonus Bjonus can't really form a conclusion on the sound of the show, when your judgement is determined by this video...filmed on a phone. just sayin...
Most overrated band of all time still a good tune though.
Overrated!? Taylor Swift is overrated. You are ridiculous
yeah not too much now…
who is the other trumpet player?
