Somewhere a rasta guy called Robert Marley is listening you guys with a proud smile on his face.

[@PerkyQuail]

I watched this video when it was uploaded, and still today after 4+ years, I still keep coming back to this masterpiece! Thank you Thievery Corporation for making my day best with your music.

[@guillaumeaudru4634]

That's great! We all need an unplugged album followed by an unplugged tour.

[@pepe230385]

Kids..thats how real music sounds...

[@kakistocracyusa]

The percussionists of Thievery Corporation are the wonderful glue.

[@rameswese7723]

This is how i came to know Thievery Corporation, the first time i listened to "The Richest Man in Babylon" in 2006 at the airplane. i am in love with you Guys ever since. best regards from Palestine

[@theinvestorstrategist]

Sorry to spoil your party : No such country recognised by the " whole" of the United Nations as Palestine

[@rameswese7723]

@@theinvestorstrategist No you didnt spoil my party at all. Palestine was there before your "United Nations"

[@theinvestorstrategist]

@@rameswese7723 For somebody who lives in Saudi Arabia, why are you signing off "regards from Palestine" ? Unless you think that Saudi should become Palestinian

[@forestsorrel]

I love these guys so much. I finally saw them in concert for the first time last Friday night and now I'm kicking myself for not seeing them sooner. PLEASE COME BACK TO PORTLAND, OREGON ASAP!! ❤

There is no guidance in your kingdom Your wicked walk in Babylon There is no wisdom to your freedom The richest man in Babylon Your beggars sleep outside your doorway Your prophets leave to wonder on You fall asleep at night with worry The saddest man in Babylon The wicked stench of exploitation Hangs in the air and fingers on Beneath the praise and admiration The weakest man in Babylon There is no hope left in your kingdom Your servants have burned all their songs Nobody here remembers freedom The richest man in Babylon

Hangs in the air and fingers on? Shouldn't it be lingers on?

[@nestortomaselli6372]

The collective talent and musical genius shared between these 6 guys, these CATS, is pure magic. Also, the singer’s voice makes me feel like it’s a God from ancient Mesopotamia singing through him.

[@hirameberhardt8643]

I can relate to that. Yeah

[@earthmoviesuk]

Like an Anthem of these times...

[@MsGhostofficial]

Gentlemen, thank you so much!!! You just made my night. Incredible!!! I went to Montserrat 20 years ago and my sister and I hiked to the top of the monastery (and tram) we both made a wish, and they both changed our lives forever. I need to go back now, for a refresh : ) and maybe some ghost-hunting. Love love love!!!

[@isreal7772]

Thievery Corporation is awesome... my favorite band. Pure music for the soul.

[@АлександрВласов-п9г]

С этой песней хочется плыть.Не важно куда главное плыть и плыть только вперёд.

[@Natalie-lf7hb]

The location gives that extra accoustic touch and it feels really complementary to the tone of the message being presented here... Beautiful!

[@MicaDeLaSierra]

Thievery Corporation, you guys are great! Thanks for sharing...

[@jamesmcclain8927]

Just saw them in P'cola with maybe 300 people. They played as if 30,000 was in the audience. One of the best bands I've witnessed live! Thank you for an amazing show.

[@mlanders998]

I just saw T. C. In December at the Orange Peel in Asheville North Carolina, this was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, the band is so tight, I can't wait until they are back, do not miss an opportunity to see them live you will not be disappointed !

[@thieverycorporation]

Thanks Michael, have a great weekend.

[@JohnMacLeanPhotography]

Wasn't that awesome?! I saw both of those nights in AVL, and Hash walked right by me the 2nd night - mind blown! My first TC shows but I got into them in sometime around 2006 with the "AOL Music DJ Sessions: Mixed by Thievery Corporation" CD I somehow acquired, online I think. Please come back TC!

[@zionwitherspoon880]

[@matijagotic4841]

Found out about Thievery corporation 5 years ago on Fifa 12 i think.... I was instantly hooked by the vibe, TC reminds me of my volunteering trip to Istanbul.. Was living there alone, as 18 yr old dude from samll town in Croatia.. Listening to the sounds at night looking over Bosphorus..

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Just saw them perform Live in NYC on October 12th 2018 @ South Street Seaport Rooftop. It was EPIC. Their Live show was Incredible. The Music, The Visual, The Great Vibe's !!!

Love you all, but Frank Orrall and Hash are the most awesome guys ;) Got to love them when I was on my first Thievery concert in Belgrade, Serbia (in 2010 or 2011). Frank had beautiful speeches in between the songs, and was giving audience so much energy, and Hash is the human embodiment of energy :)
