[@moonskipper]

Those saxophonists are bringing the energy

[@ScrollNRoll]

Oh shut up

[@HermitLady]

Sax is the best additional instrument a band could have, imo.

[@dennisvalverde3909]

I agree @moonskipper.

[@seankratzer1814]

Listen to How dare you want more by bleachers if you like the sax

[@NellyGandhella]

​​​​@@HermitLadyNo. The sax has a place but not on every song as it can get obnoxious

[@BatmanHQYT]

This song was made to be played live. Incredible energy.

[@ilikebacon.6483]

this was hey ya 2003 for my band such strong vibes

[@agentgettysburg8425]

it does not dissapoint live. I think the best band ive seen live

[@lnwatts]

That was definitely not "live".

[@Mmcay]

Bleachers live is like nothing else on the planet. I’m so happy this performance (even though for tv) had that feeling and energy!!! Can’t wait to see you guys at twisted Xmas!!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@athenvea]

I am not sure they are playing and singing live 🧐 the song is good though..took me back to the 90's . i just discovered it thanks to jimmy fallon show (writing from France)

[@reelrocknrolla4251]

​@athenvea they are live in this video. You can tell because he sometimes sings away from the mic and his voice changes

[@haveXregrets]

@@reelrocknrolla4251 c'mon, their guitars ain't even plugged in 🙃

[@Chase_AM]

@@reelrocknrolla4251 There’s some modern tech that would blow your mind, I promise.

[@adamlorenz4748]

See you at Twisted Christmas!! This show is going to slap so hard.

[@karaquigg3684]

This is so nostalgic and perfect. I get mid 90s Mighty Mighty Bostones from this… but in the best way possible. Cher Horowitz would totally dance to this song!

[@ColumbiaQT2001]

I kinda get Jersey Shore, Eddie and the Cruisers vibe… or better still, John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.

[@MeatballMovies1]

There are a few points in this where I also hear The Ramones

[@ianlee4565]

Springsteen is the main vibe I get, but I can hear Bostones too!

[@soggiestcrumpets]

I was getting Talking Heads vibes too. New York new wave scene type of music.

[@johndoe9881]

​@@ianlee4565funny you should say that because they did a single with the man himself called Chinatown (feat. Bruce Springsteen)

[@calchurchill2730]

Every album, Antonoff's Springsteen cosplay feels less like a costume. Awesome performance!

[@Zaptoid]

[points at eyes] [points at you] Fugg'n see what you did there, guy. Bloody marvellous wut.

[@MasterJohnMoss]

Jack's best Springsteen impression, yet. REALLY good!!

[@LPManic]

All about the shoulders

[@tinan2179]

Just a good COPY of some 80s songs, from UK. The real musicians behind him overshadow the ‘frontman’… He looks like a young Rick Moranis. I DESPISE HIS ASSOCIATION🙄 TO THAT AWFUL TS.🐍😡🤢

[@mono5401]

@@tinan2179stop overreacting it’s good music

[@captainchainsaw8856]

weird comment, Very ott ​@@tinan2179

[@keiongarraway3264]

Damn i miss this sound. "I wanna get better!!" ❤❤❤

[@thatgreatlovesound]

YES ❤❤❤

[@thatgreatlovesound]

Guess he felt the same way 🥲

[@solarczyk49]

Its nice to hear an excellent song beautifully sung. Applause 👏👏👏

[@jasonezzell6901]

Jack spitting on the camera 😂 Y’all killed it. Can’t wait to see this one live.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Obesessed with this song have it on repeat love the springsteen ,and zydeco vibes so fun cant wait until their new album drops!!

[@morrisshaw]

it reminds me of the first time i heard springsteen when ii was just into my teens in the mid 70's, a spur of the moment purchase of the wild, the innocent album & the born to run album when it came out. one of my fave music clips of all time is bruce & the band playing rosalita live at the hammersmith odeon in 1977 i think? it has the same feel to it though nobody could ever replace the big man, there are sax players then there was clarence, i bought a nils lofgren album too the same way at the same time, my teenage brain must have known something?

[@marlonrando9272]

I get Huey Lewis

[@ChaoticWriterRising]

I only know a couple of Bleachers songs, but I always love them. As a photosensitive epileptic viewer, I appreciate the fact that they did nothing crazy with the lights. I normally can't watch live music because of the lights. I'm gonna listen to more Bleachers now.

[@cmel7841]

If you weren't aware, Jack is also the guitarist for the band "Fun", very talented musician. I had not heard this song but I love it

[@codybyers2043]

He's also a world-class music producer--he's Taylor Swift's main collaborator and has worked with her on the majority of her newer albums and rerecords!

[@patricenz]

And produces Lorde, too 🎉

[@shaymorgan]

@@patricenzand lana!! and a lot of carly rae jepson and so many others fr he’s very talented

[@ohhhhhcool]

"fun" fact - Jack led a band named "Steel Train" for awhile back in the 00's, and they toured quite a bit with a band named "The Format". Those two bands combined soon after to create Fun.

[@themack22]

Co-produced the 1975’s brilliant album BFIAFL

[@qwertywert42]

feels just like the magic of watching how dare you want more on this show 1.5 years ago

[@hifromthestudio]

I cannot wait to shake my ass to modern girl when they tour again

[@justabeginner5157]

This is best song ive heard in years.I feel relieved.

[@OhCaroline1975]

why does this remind me of Jesse and the Rippers from Full House in the best way possible? 😂❤ love Bleachers

[@morrisshaw]

i can't stop listening to this song, it has to be the best song in a generation or even two. that's how good it is, it has everything required to make a song instantly memorable like a song you've known your entire life that makes your hair stand on end, if you've got any, not even a ba herr here.

[@idontknow8898]

Pure talent being able to perform this song so well acoustically. It's a very complex song, and what's great is they make it sound unique in every performance. They clearly enioy it and have the freedom to have fun with it! Legit, a top tier track!

[@efthalps]

incredible song, jacks stage presence is insaaaane

[@ralle672]

What a BANGER! Makes me feel like I´m back in the good old 80s 🙂

[@annb.7054]

Most underrated Song in the world

[@28louisgf]

Agreed

[@themattersource]

This song is so underrated! I’ve listened to it on repeat for about a week now and it just gets better every time!

[@sehyde26]

I finally saw Bleachers for the first time live and they are SO GOOD. If you can go see them, absolutely do!!! So much fun!!!

[@user-fc1fq9ob6k]

This is the song of the summer. Those saxes! 🎷🎸

[@originalpopGeezer]

All his success, the Grammys, the many many collaborations... and all Jack really wants to be is Springsteen. Who came blame him!

[@mynameizriley]

love it! they look so happy every time they play. saxophones are so underrated.

[@MrMarvelForever]

Saw BLEACHERS LIVE! in MANCHESTER! Last Friday night, they were incredible!! I REALLY HOPE!! they come back to Manchester!! Love this performance on the tonight show! 👏 ❤

[@girlonfireproductions]

If Bowie and Springsteen had a baby… it would be this dang song 🫨

[@morrisshaw]

springsteen & the ramones had a baby, made jonathon richman his godfather & gave him harmonies & created this outfit, they even have their little bruce & the big man double act going on circle rosalita in 1975. the best song i've heard in several decades, some of those lyrics are pure dee dee & the sax just reminded me that clarence is gone. he sure can write some songs, reminds me of the first time i heard tom petty or bruce & since i have a photographic memory of my childhood i recall the first time i heard the beatles as a two year old in 1964, i can't give anyone more higher praise & if i wasn't 61 i would have remembered his name from the segment where jimmy interviewed him & would have remembered that i'd seen it on telly & not online after i spent ages rewinding my history before the name of the band leapt into my head, yes, i am baked, why do you ask?

[@MegaTrollbait]

They are so freaking good. I love Jack Antonoff. I remember all the hand-wringing when he was collaborating with Lorde and Taylor Swift, and it seemed so dumb, because of course they'd want to partner up with a great songwriter and musician like him. Good knows good. Sometimes the music is simply about the music! And this is great music.

[@curtmurphy5374]

The saxophone solo sounds like "I'm yours" by Jason Mraz. Do you hear it?

[@fortyall]

Good catch.

[@daywhy8629]

Funny enough, Jason put the exact same motif on sax towards the end of one of his newest songs, “Lovesick Romeo”

[@woofdog1525]

I can imagine a prime Bowie singing this ✌️

[@dewimatthews6037]

Distracted by the Springsteen elements, but Bowie...you're so right !

[@lazlob6234]

I'm a huge fan of Eddie and the cruisers and that's what this is reminds me of just fantastic this is the music we need

[@WhatTheHeck1290]

Never heard of this band, now a fan!

[@bionicx3]

That sax! Love these guys! ❤

[@MysteryBird527]

Sax makes everything better. Thank you Bleachers. This is an absolute JAM.

[@manuman1433]

they are just incredible

[@pennyinaz]

Jack is strange and wonderful and interesting and peculiar.

[@stevenichols8887]

This is one of the most fun rock songs ever.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

You guy alway kill it hands up to jack, and breachers!!❤🎉

[@MrFabryTV]

Congratulazioni dall’Italia! 🇮🇹❤️Performance perfetta!!! Thank you guys for this beautiful song!

[@TheBorgian]

Seems like Springsteen and the Clash had a baby.

[@squibmo4332]

Those boys baby bringing the sweet heat 😜. Love Jack's voice.

[@michaelhuerta6689]

Sonido de los 80´s, con bastante energia de la buena...

[@Swiftie287]

So excited for these guys to go back on tour!

[@JonTorrence]

Yes! I love bleachers! This band deserves some fun in the sun!!!

[@christopherlongworth1322]

Love this tune. I thought they quit making music like this 😊

[@johnvicaireiii5537]

So good...! This is Rock'n'roll baby!!

[@andygrabia8292]

Now follow that up with Gaslight Anthem and Springsteen doing History Books. Give me all that Jersey Sound!

[@TheTechPapi]

Wow - really great live performance!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@alexkoala18]

Love this song!!!!!!!! Pure energy!!!

[@David-cq6zx]

This feels like it wouldn't be out of place in a mid 80s movie with John Candy and Michael J Fox

[@whatshappening3327]

Giving Springsteen vibes mixed with the clash and ska! Love it!

[@jendickson2201]

Reminds me of The Untouchables 80s LA band

[@HermitLady]

Look at that smile 🥰🤟💞🥳

[@XCal1bur23]

Greatest song I've ever heard, and I'm 52 years old 😍

[@carl-francissmith2617]

well catchy tune! its different to what i normally listen to but i like it! vocals are on point!! x

[@Squasagedog]

Best band in the world right now

[@BajatheChickenMan]

This is a soundtrack of summer jam.

[@morrisshaw]

i can't stop watching this song, it's the most original song i've heard this century yet it is a;lso nostalgic with it's nod to the early E Street Band, back when springsteen & the 'Big Man' Clarence Clemence were young & vibrant in the days of the wild, the innocent & the E Street Shuffle & the masterful Rosalita (Won't You Come Out Tonight)

[@kimmiewells3945]

This band makes me miss good music. Love it!!

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

Loved this song! Great vibe!

[@teresatano193]

Danny elfman / Talking Heads vibe Awesome!

[@lararesende7499]

Não conhecia eles mas são muito bons! Amei descobrir que o Jack é um grande produtor e produziu o último álbum do The 1975

[@davidkoplitz1969]

The 1975 yes ❤😎❤️ !!!

[@adamvans0078]

They know how to perform 😮‍💨

[@mariusd7803]

The man behind Taylor Swift’s most successful era right here. What a guy!

[@edwinramirez4646]

Really?

[@mariusd7803]

Yep. He’s her producer

[@leonardolopezsilvestre7462]

It's incredible that despite being "live" you can still hear it as if it were the original recording, wow... some true artists ❤

[@myszkowanie3036]

they are sooooo cooooool, wonderful show!

Jack!!! 💜

[@Tuiaoficial]

So cool vibe old school music! Love it!!

[@frankdemariany]

I love how the breakdown was just a chord strummed 😂

[@dustinhuiting]

Strong Bruce Springsteen vibes

[@IkechiUkazu]

They need to release the live version. This is better than the studio!

[@iluvhou]

I really like Jack's voice. They're fun!

[@felixseidel3615]

What a great song

[@donnybaseball4190]

Cracking song!!! Shame to see they didn’t let them play it live but….

As a father to a severely autistic son and a heavy gay man, this is our jam. My gay son hits the roof to this. Thankyou all x this really strokes the bone. Such camp lyrics I LOVE IT WE LOVE IT WOOO 🏳️‍🌈 X😊 X

[@millerhxc]

This is such Springstein worship....AND I LOVE IT! It still hasn't quite beaten Stop Making This Hurt at getting stuck in my brain... I still have a lot more Bleachers to listen but what I know..I like.

[@millerhxc]

I spoke too soon...now it's stuck in my head..

[@johnnyc9940]

Every album they’ve done is amazing and I definitely recommend getting lost in their music!

[@MrVisde]

100 percent. Boardwalk bar band vibes. Bruce & Southside Johnny.

[@emilio23canton]

Wow the intro sounds so Springsteen love it!

[@davidkoplitz1969]

So good ! Southside Johnny anyone ? Wow 😎❤️😎

[@lk29392]

I just discovered this band like a month ago and now they are on The Tonight Show. What a meteoric rise! ;) btw, they have some many great songs!

[@Vichedges]

They aren’t exactly newbies. That guy is from Fun which had a big hit a few years back.

[@ConspiracyOfAVlogger]

I really hope they bring their tour to South America
