Bright Eyes "Dance and Sing"

[@silverandexact]

I'm so glad Conor made it through his pain to be here performing for us in 2022.

[@ttacking_you]

Ya mean that 40 years of pain he called his life

[@ttacking_you]

?

[@MrMattyf89]

I mean, I think he’s drunk.

[@77livelove]

He’s definitely still in a lot of pain

[@ttacking_you]

@@77livelove over what, though? I think, perhaps, he merely makes the music for those dejected & taciturn types

[@middleburyastrology]

This feels impossible. So many hours with Conor in my ear scraping windows at midnight in Philadelphia in 2005. I am a happy time machine right now. Welcome back to my ears Conor. Happy to see you alive and singing.

[@RawkOz99]

Amen 🙌

[@ntle11]

Bright Eyes is one of my all time favorite bands. No one sounds like them ❤️

[@knightscroftsquire-muldoon]

Been a fan for 15 years now and seen them at the Opry House back in 2011, it was the best concert I've _EVER_ been to. Thank God Conor is still going the new remixes are so beautiful! Thank you Conor and everyone who has played with Bright Eyes for the music, you are all a godsend!

[@PositivityClubMusic]

Conor, Nate, Mike, Miwi… right there with Stephen! I love it. Love you all!

[@yosewise]

I know you

[@josephflannery9015]

And Maisey. He played in Mvb

Don't forget Jon Theodore from QOTSA!

That album is amazing listened to it countless times through the weird covid times, my 4 year old loves it too.

[@aprilwindrum2728]

I'm glad I'm not the only one sharing this with my 4 year old. I took her to see them at art park ❤️

[@TheNorthwayKid]

Part hobo, part crazy uncle, part mad prophet, 100% genius. Love this performance.

[@davis267]

💯💜

[@anomalis]

It's good to have friends, you know? Oberst only feels free enough to get this weird when he has the support of Mike and Nate and the "idea" or "purpose" that is "Bright Eyes." It is, and has always been, beautiful.

[@sterlingarchibald8096]

Was any part of that real? Someone behind the whole story?

he is not part hobo, I am part hobo as I travel on freight trains. Conor is a amazing story teller / songwriter though.

[@sarah.bea.]

Omg what a walk down memory lane. I loved their music back in school, like 13-15 years ago. If they come to Europe at any point I‘ll definitely go and see them :)

[@theUnclaimedBaggage]

This august they’ll be here 🙃

His poor throat. Tour is hard. He was starting to get hoarse in Columbus. Still killed it!

[@SleepyTelly]

It was good in Boston though, odd!

[@ran_d_d]

@@SleepyTelly he still sounds amazing with his voice scratchy . First two songs in DC it was kinda clear, then he screamed a little bit, and the rest of the show it was like this, l like it anyway though!

The Columbus show was phenomenal! I was in the front row and enjoyed every moment of it.

[@Shaunks86]

It was so good though.

[@AlexFoster2291]

Not rock and roll though.

[@drewyork8514]

Haven’t listened to Bright Eyes in so long. Digging them out and giving them to my daughter now.

[@Ltgoat03]

Saw them at the Detroit show. Conor had to restart pan and broom and sti forgot a verse. He fell offstage too. Hense the brace on his wrist. He was very, very drunk in a sad way. It was a great show and the man performed but he needs help because I want to see him again.

[@lilflowerbud]

Nobody told me they were back... my soul is happy again 🌷

The new record is excellent

[@elliebearyy]

It's always been a dream of mine to see Bright Eyes live and soon it will be a reality! I'm super stoked! 😍🥰

[@waterthroughyouropenhands]

I saw them in Asheville last summer and it was perfect. They played songs from throughout their entire discography and Conor has unique levels of stage presence

[@knightscroftsquire-muldoon]

How was the show?! Amazing? I thought you'd say that! Bright Eyes is the best band I've ever seen and heard live.

[@zatransis]

I was just doing a listen through of their whole discography a day or two ago and then this popped up. What a killer surprise!

[@fattmusiek5452]

This was great right!!!? @mike henry , what are some of your fav tunes by BE? Would love some recs man

[@BevieMagee]

@@fattmusiek5452 Listen to the whole album, start to finish “I’m awake it’s morning”. Brilliant!

[@zatransis]

@@fattmusiek5452 I agree with Bevie. Also, a great aspect of Bright Eyes is they have a lyrical/vocal core and the music is flexible around them. I'd also recommend "Digital Ash In a Digital Urn" for a more electronic sound and "Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground" for a series of diverse, but awesome songs.

[@jasondm300]

Conor has got some moves. One of my all time favorite bands

@@LysergiCoyotl mike seems like the only one besides Conor who painted his nails.

[@LysergiCoyotl]

@@ran_d_d haha ok? I saw someone making fun of Conor for that apparently not realizing that a lot of instrumentalists paint their nails a lighter color on tour simply because it helps them play in darker spaces ... I mean no issue if it's just for fun but I think it's more a practicality thing

[@fl0nk11]

@@Darmoosh27 Nope, Jon is their touring drummer from the end of March through the beginning of July. So unless he was briefly kidnapped, it was him.

The touring band was awesome and Conor was on point in St. Paul, might've been the best show I've been too.

[@Melissad490]

Conor Oberst is giving me Robert Smith vibes and I am SO here for it

[@daba2646]

Really good song. Almost like a rap. And the lyrics are great - "what a wild ruse!"

[@fattmusiek5452]

Yeah, I was thinking the same- since I’m so used to seeing Conor with a guitar on. I noticed he had a a wristband on his left hand- so I hope he is ok, and not dealing with any injury/I spent 3 basically crippled from bilateral tendinitis, so I am hoping he is just fine. This performance was absolutely rad and one of the best performances that ive seen Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst. Incredible energy, and a perfect song choice. So good

"I guess all I can do is dance on through, and sing"

[@katiowens3977]

He is.

[@LysergiCoyotl]

'Seems like a lyrical master' haha just finding out of him? About 15 years ago they were calling him the next Bob Dylan. He was a prodigy of sorts releasing records and writing poetic songs as a kid.

[@Snacktime12345]

Conor is a rough around the edges kinda guy, he’s no saint and is very open with his mental health and substance abuse struggles but he’s real and such a poetic lyricist it’s insane! You need to check out all of his musical projects, it’s a lot but take your time. Some of their songs have changed my life!

You’re clearly new to Conor Oberst’s music. If you want emo listen to Bright eyes. If you want his more folk stuff, listen to his solo work

So much good Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst music. Started listening when I was in like 6th grade and I’m nearly 30 now. A personal favorite of mine is his ‘Ruminations’ album. Super raw and intimate songwriting. He re-recorded the same songs and more with fuller arrangements on the studio album ‘Salutations’.
