[@myessyallyahamericus8405]

I saw connor play once and I'd never seen a guy care so much about what he was singing before or since and he did it sitting in a chair on the ground. It reminded me of jacob cox. I thought of my father . That's why I tried to help him live.

[@retriever19golden55]

Brilliant, genius, yeah, erratic sometimes, but oh my gosh, Conor! You're a gift!

[@marinarozas4315]

i love Bright eyes and love watching Phoebe smiling and singing, she's so cute and seem to be enjoying herself so much!

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

She’s always loved Conor, I’m glad they got to work together so much

[@MilkyJoe954]

Why is there not one comment mentioning that Conor's playing with one of the greatest Americana bands of our generation - the Felice Brothers?

[@johnnygoesfast9397]

Never heard of 'em Country Music???

[@neilly141]

Their own his record company lad. It's like Fiat owning Ferrari.

[@stitch1299]

The Felice brothers might be the best band of the generation. They’re definitely my favorite anyway. You’re cool!

[@rossheathorn121]

I love the felice brothers and thanks for mentioning that makes it better and me feel better in a world that's getting worse not better what do we do sing dance get drunk get hi and let it all pass us by x

[@retriever19golden55]

I'm always looking for a concert that's a real transcendent experience, the band and the crowd feeding off each other to bring the whole thing to a new plane...and leave me smiling for days! Never had a chance yet to see Conor, but back in May I saw a band called The Dead South, and they were amazing!

[@lee32476]

@3:28 is Phoebe Bridgers and Harrison Whitford absolutely loving this performance. Super cool.

[@christownsend4058]

I will always expect a human to never be constantly one thing. If we ever were constantly one thing, we would never be gratefully boring.

[@ran_d_d]

Geez.. all the comments are so mean. I think it sounds wonderful. Like everything he does.

[@SPINUNDRUM]

this is fucking incredible!!!!!

[@joemundane]

I wonder if we, as fans are fuelling his sadness

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

That’s an interesting..and probably true viewpoint.

[@noora3211]

i get the feeling he’s either drunk or high during alot of his performances and it’s just legendary

[@thejamesbrothersband5491]

2:08 hahahahaha did he say scanscriped. My guy is still killin it tho

[@edluacoles]

Man I love playing this song myself but I always trip over that damn lyric - impossible to say it quickly!

[@colina1330]

@@edluacoles I'm actually learning/practicing this song to cover at a gig tomorrow night, and it's definitely a bit of a tongue twister, especially if you've had a few.

[@ksimone5916]

This song always makes me cry, always idk....

[@TheCheesecakedeath]

Oh good a version where people aren't booing and throwing things

[@josephshrum4985]

One of my favorite performances on youtube. I was going to go to this show but I ended up being on tour. I wish i couldve been there!

[@G-G._]

didnt ask

[@SteveBonus]

Phoebe Bridgers sighting at 3:27

[@IAmSquishable]

The amount of songs hes written... I wouldn’t expect him to remember every word. Especially when a little drunk, he’s clearly quite emotional. And sure one of the lesser performances of his I’ve seen, but the heart is still there.

[@madtiboysen5397]

A little drunk?

[@colina1330]

​@@fancychannelname I have. I've also been that guy. It's amazing what you can pull off on stage while you're hammered if you practice enough. Muscle memory is a powerful thing.

Our mans is loose here. No denying.... but ya'll ever seen him get Digital Ash-faced?

[@Philbaebee]

Lmao. Oh yes. I saw that. Theres a lyric on one of his solo songs "if you get too drunk, you cant perform". Something like that. I cant remember which song. But its true.

[@fancypants254]

Maybe he was attempting to get the same crowd response from the music video... Still, amazing performance!!!

This is music in pure form. What is this shit about groupies in the comment? Yall know he is married since 2010 right? Probably put on some lipstick for fun/make a statement or just beacuse he was high. I think the energy was amazing here.

[@shelby8364]

he's been divorced for a bit tho

[@mai-ann4442]

actually at that point he had been divorced for some time.

[@dzzydstruction2]

Is that kurt vile on drums?!

[@saylerh7197]

that’s what i thought

[@ksimone5916]

Conor.

[@iamlovingawareness2284]

I couldn’t tell if the lipstick was from a groupie, or if he’s wearing it as a statement but it got as messed up as he did. Reguardless, whatever substance he’s on, Im impressed with how he did. I haven’t seen him in the past 5 years.

[@Josh_Green44]

I thought it was Santa Claus is Coming to Town at first 😅

What’s on conor’s mouth? Looks like a lady with lipstick kissed him

[@ryandubois7419]

Oddly enough, it looks like Phoebe was also wearing red lipstick that night…

[@Gregavision]

My only complaint is that it's a little too slow. Love the lipstick that he for sure got from a groupie who was as crossfaded as he is.

[@R3verie]

All the negative comments and no one is going to mention how intoxicated (on whatever) he is? Yep, lipstick from groupies and all... He can't remember his own lyrics! This is sad.

[@calebh6115]

He literally didn't miss a word. What are you talking about? Yeah he's high but no words missed

[@mai-ann4442]

he’s kind of notorious for changing his own lyrics, even when sober. i think a lot of it is more of an artistic choice than anything.

[@clemhepburn403]

these comments perplex me. like, did you miss the whole like, 20 year career of intoxicated performances, songs about intoxication, etc.? like, thats his like, thing. thats what bright eyes is.

[@balladofthemightyi]

I had respect for Conor once.. Not now tho :( damn he's a mess

[@clemhepburn403]

do you have any familiarity with this artist? this is just an odd thing to say, given that a lot of his appeal throughout his career has been that he's like... kind of a mess. thats like, the schtick

[@balladofthemightyi]

@@clemhepburn403 yeah I'm very familiar with Conor, it just seems a shame to see drugs and alcohol take their toll on someone :( like he's always been a mess but when you can barely get a word out you need to slow down a little, yknow? :(

[@balladofthemightyi]

@@fancychannelname let's break this down one question at a time, so naturally, he's pretty drunk, and I never stated in the original comment that he was, so that's a pretty bold assumption, judging by the off key slurring he's definitely drunk, drugs however, I'm not sure about. He can't focus if he can barely stand on his feet so there's that too, also, I'm a passionate music student, not a troll. Have a pleasant day and it's been nice talking to you :)
