what a fucking amazing bit of drumming. Give that man a beer

[@annelise3395]

RIP Josh... I hope wherever you are, that you have a bass and a cig.

[@nathanb5579]

@@kyletaylor1752 how about he enjoys them. Deal

[@pizzapusslasagna]

I literally only found out about this now wtf. I can't believe it. Whenever I think about who my favourite bassist are, Carlos Dengler and Josh Fauver always come up first. RIP Josh. What an inspirational player.

[@phillipbarbie2608]

How strange! I was just playing some Hole on guitar today on the front porch and looked up about Kristen Pfaff their bassist’s death and now Im learning about Deerhunter’s bassists death! RIP to two very talented musicians. 😢❤️🙏❤️

[@seanstuchbery]

get you a man who looks at you like josh looks at nothing in particular

[@martingonzalez2911]

The drummer is a fucking hero

[@jamies.9290]

At 11:35 you can tell he's just GRINDING to get through

[@robertmitzenheim]

no. really. I watched this video a hundred times. and still, I almost start to cry at the end. for me, this is pure perfection.

[@jmlucero2]

I cried

[@user-vi2ge1ni3i]

[@tomgrant4522]

Same, and same.

[@takayish]

10 years have passed since I watched this vid for the first time and it somehow still makes me cry. Totally a legendary and the best peformance I've ever seen

[@Spilllage]

Dude, same

[@oliverknight7863]

same

[@michelesegatto7495]

Freaking the same to me, long live Bradford Joshua lockett moses❤

[@meanmrmustard11]

wtf is with these cry comments. deerhunter is cool, but you're either drunk or are unable to appropriately display emotions and they just pour out on youtube videos. nothing about this is cry-worthy, just cool

[@andrewcameron7876]

The drummers a beast

[@michelesegatto7495]

Almost 15 yrs and still...rip Joshua long live deerhunter

[@h.j.w2783]

that bassist is a beast.

[@spinkicker27]

Especially when he's playing with one hand.

[@redniet]

+Dr. H I've seen deerhunter a couple times a number of years ago when Josh Fauver was still the bassist. He stood front and center just as he did during this show, I was front and center as well. I had no idea how much power he brought to their set and music until the first time I saw them, I was blown away actually. I don't know much about him, or what he's up to nowadays, but he brought thunder to Deerhunter, and when I heard he left the band I was actually pretty bummed out. Their new bassists doesn't bring that same power that Fauver brought.

[@davidboyle1984]

Deerhunter will never be the same without him

[@pau8248]

Buah

[@tedduncan3038]

That's very well said, very well said there.

[@isuebay12]

I was at this show. Let me say that although there wasn't much dancing or jamming from the crowd, we were all mesmerized, and were seemingly hypnotized by them. Best show I have ever seen.

[@prangbro]

I saw them in Dublin in 2008 and had never heard any of their music and it was the same - just completely mesmerising

[@hippisarecool]

Rip josh fauver, the legendary bassist who made Deerhunter as magical as it was

[@LilRedRasta]

yep the band went down hill when he left

[@dekdav8037]

Wrong... Brandox Cox is what made & makes Deerhunter magical, experimental & amazing sounding. The leader w/o acting like one, making the band a more collaborative, experimental experience. But yeah, R.I.P., cig and all.

[@LilRedRasta]

@@dekdav8037 nah. The basslines are very important. Deerhunter without Josh is like the Pixies without Kim Deal. Again this is why their last few albums have been pretty meh.

[@dekdav8037]

@@LilRedRasta Agree with you on the Deerhunter/Pixies analogy. I think Frank Black & gang play & sound JUST fine without Deal. The Pixies always were and are Black Francis, Deerhunter and Atlas Sound, Brandon Cox. They are the creative forces behind both bands.

[@dekdav8037]

@@LilRedRasta Their current album is amazing. Nothing wrong with liking new & strong work.

[@d2fan192000]

I feel like this live version will become legendary in the future!

[@bradmoxon1061]

Some of the greatest live rock ever put on tape. Period

[@internetsummoner]

@Brad Moxon Truth !!

[@jholt4]

The bassist, Josh Fauver, wrote most of this song!

[@breakfastline]

Rip

[@TheMaximo365]

most underrated band ever

[@michaelotegbola8190]

I used to listen to this song before every exam I took in undergrad and graduate school to get me hype for the test lol. Still my favorite Deerhunter song. Definitely top 10 band to ever grace the earth.

[@agedskate3000]

Love how happy Josh looks when its all over. One of the best songs I've ever seen live.

[@TheMickaelD]

agedskate3000 lucky you!!

[@Michael-uo8yv]

Imagine being in that crowd during this legendary performance and not losing your mind the entire time

[@internetsummoner]

@Michael Milburn I wish I was there losing my mind gladly !!

[@ridefly66]

that performance of Horses was incredible!

[@josujosu]

This version is EPIC. Makes the original feel like a rehersal.

[@daviddiegooviedoturpo8634]

QUE BUEN COMENTARIO, EL MEJOR QUE HE LEIDO

[@jacobniehaus]

This was the first time I saw Deerhunter live and the experience of this song live was something I'll never forget. Josh commanded the stage with his presence and his playing. RIP.

[@postpunkpodge9746]

RIP Josh Fauver. This is just incredible music.

[@ASMRForYourSoul]

One of the best live performances of all time

[@MD-jz7xx]

Josh's Magnum Opus performance. Rest in peace, old friend.

[@myfriedme]

this just might be the best video on youtube

[@stenualdo]

holy shit, deerhunter + patti smith. This is amazing.

[@MultiSLASHMAN]

Half of this views are mine, watching this almost weekly since 2012, long live deerhunter

[@bloodphantom81]

that was the most amazing performance I've seen in a while. What delightful improvisation. Almost brought me to tears at 11:15.

[@sillypengie2052]

Waves of goosebumps.

[@frankenmizer828]

Engines ignite and at about 2 minutes thirty seconds in, Deerhunter leaves the planet.

[@TM-vx9xs]

Come back to this on a monthly basis. The last couple of minutes are incredibly written muzak

[@packrat-y7j]

I remember when Lockett got that guitar. I also remember when he stole mine and just sat in the office at my ex's parents place and fiddled with it on a 9volt amp for what seemed like days during a christmas gathering.

[@EvilLadderGaming]

What a blissful 12 mins this must have been seeing it in person

[@spiralstairs]

Peak Deerhunter. Rip #Josh

[@burrito270]

How the hell do they keep such a steady beat for 12 minutes

[@jasondieterle5985]

Dude then pulls out a jam ending riff, jfc right?

[@estebandido4988]

Lots of practice

[@GettingHyphy]

Moses parting the sea for a steady beat my child

[@YareYareYaroze]

One time I saw this jam performed live and It was a really small venue and I was right in front of Bradford and the sound perfect and I fucking cried because I was overwhelmed.

[@michelesegatto7495]

You''re really lucky keep that Moment in Ur heart

[@noptimized]

Just heard the news that Josh has died, and came here to watch one of my favourite performances ever... RIP

[@kriskaayne]

Why do I keep coming back to this video?

[@janschneider1714]

Moses kind of regretting that he started at such a high pace: 9:01 10:21 10:48 11:37.... I'm sure he had sore arms for the next couple of days of their tour;)

[@camhux]

RIP Josh. I think about this performance all the time.

[@robertmitzenheim]

4 years later. I most definitely cry at the end. this is my favorite piece of live music.

[@josuedelarosa5286]

Man what a band

[@womaninthewave]

The best deerhunter track

[@MrBibbityBop]

I'm lovin the bass and Bradford looks so cool in this video.

R.I.P Josh Fauver 🌹 "life just passing, flash right through me"

This performance is pure ecstatic love! What beautiful noise!

When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by horses, horses, horses, horses coming in in all directions white shining silver studs with their nose in flames, He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses.

[@sbanuchi]

I love how the bassist around 9:30 is like "I'm waitin this one out guys"

[@KellyTaylorGuy]

I would have lost my mental shit when it went past the original studio time. This song is badass twice as long! Seeing them at Bumbershoot!!!

[@fugamante]

from 11:07 to 11:20 those few seconds have influenced my current musical output so much... Thanks for that Brad, and Patti.

[@agedskate3000]

[@christopherf9057]

i remember feeling the weirdest out of body/dissociative experience when bradford started putting his guitar against the fan..... i simultaneously thought he was fucking around with the p4k crowd and a musical genius. i was very, very high and young at the time. the patti smith cover confused the shit out of me

[@allegiance000]

Tears well up every time I watch this. It makes my soul want to jump out of my chest.
