Imagine being Travis Morrison playing a Pitchfork event. That's the power of forgiveness right there.

[@andrewfallon7963]

I've gotta say the drummer's NPR tank top is definitely an "I play drums in the Dismemberment Plan" vibe, so he's got that nailed down.

[@cjrandolph1968]

Travis always looks so fucking insanely happy as he sings songs about doubt, disconnectedness and disappointment. I remember going to see them in Poughkeepsie with a good friend of mine who wasn't familiar with them and playing their latest CD (Emergency & I) on a boombox on the back of my car for him when the D-Plan van rolled into the parking lot and started making loud comments about how this music sucked and other taunts. Which utterly confused my friend until I told him that the guys ragging on the music and the music coming out of the boombox where one and the same. Such a great live band and way too nice a group of guys.

[@mark1800]

I love the two guys high-fiving right at the end.

[@mortalmannequin4091]

Couldn’t have ended better

[@WormCathedral]

They're all doing the standing still.

[@PDMChubby]

Pitchfork, you should really upload more of this set. It was one of the best shows of the festival and this one performance doesn't do it justice.

[@joaon99]

gotta agree, i love that synth but they drowned it... still amazing

[@thenoiboi]

this band is the best band. that's all.

[@koukoo]

turn up that fuckin synt

[@xzyv5535]

One of my things before I die is to see this band!!!! I've been a fan since 2010 when I waz in the 7th grade I heard them.

[@kewandnotu]

wow so young...i was a fan since senior year high school back in 2003!!

[@canmosk]

Love Easley's face when Travis says that York Peppermint Patty comment... a few seconds after he says it Easley is like what the fuck hahahaha

[@jems5403]

One of my favorite songs.

[@btezra420]

really looking forward to seeing/hearing them live at the Virgin FreeFest in one month!

thats not bassline. just keyboard.

[@JohnnyMiley]

What's with all the stiffs in the crowd glued to the floor!?

[@mark1800]

the boss at 2:31

[@Mowdlin]

I really thought those weird synth sounds were some weird overdriven bass melodies the way they had on "A Life of Possibilities" and "I Love a Magician". am a little disappointed

[@mynameismark25]

2011 was a fluke

[@deituna1107]

What a dead crowd

[@danielzza100]

i didnt know he couldnt sing

[@halfknots]

the three albums weren't evidence enough? still one of my favorites

[@abeautifulcancermusic]

I love the vocals. The song is a bit boring (except for the drums). First time hearing this band

[@unusualfreneticdisorder5364]

sorry if im late but i guess its the mixing that makes the song kinda boring. The studio version way better.

[@abeautifulcancermusic]

@@unusualfreneticdisorder5364 apparently 7 years ago I was rude and also hadn't grown into this type of music yet lol. Thank you for replying, I now dig this song
