This is an example of a live-sound engineer out-doing the studio album version. Good lord, Kevin Suggs, keep doing your thing man!

[@jakebrow1]

KEXP has the best engineer in the biz! all their studio recordings are the bees knees!!

[@Kawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww]

seriously what the fuck, suggs is great

[@ArmouredUnicorn]

gave me goose bumps :O kudos to him indeed.

[@StreetShots79]

Except the bass is way to loud........ way loud

[@lyndamancia1189]

Best 👍

[@Gaz8foyd]

The quality of this engineering, the tone on the guitar, his vocal performance, the hip moves, the energy of thon bassist, the twinkle in the drummers eye keep me coming back on at least a weekly basis

[@Truthmoses]

as it shoud.

[@Beunibster]

I'm straight, but those hip thrusts make me think unpure thoughts

[@mrmaldoon8362]

You still coming back? Song rips. I'm just hearing it now

[@grimgolf79]

the hip moves...

[@badgerbadger-badger-Poppy]

God, how many times have I hit replay? I don't remember. This really IS a good latte-sippin' jam.

[@TylerHardie]

Right? Pretty sure I've listened to this everyday since I heard it 5 years ago...

[@joannaferris2232]

Badger Poppy? that’s because it is ☕️🍶🫖 but I still like the screaming part

[@itsPerception]

I can't be the only one that appreciates the shot of his keys swinging to the rhythm of the song.

[@MrJaimepayes]

came here for this comment

[@bettycrocker678]

Kudos to the engineers for KEXP - after watching other versions of these guys playing this song this one sonically blows them away. That guitar tone in the intro....man.

[@IAreHeadingForTheSun]

The intro gives me all kinds of serotonin kicks! :D

[@kurtnovells]

It helps that this is a different drummer. I don't know why, but I like this hillbilly looking dude the most of all the drummers I have seen playing with FJM. He just gives a subtle little more swing to it.

[@101dotbitch]

That guitar tone in the intro is what dreams are made of.

[@IAreHeadingForTheSun]

Joe Keenan At least for some of us :)

[@Hurricaneintheroom]

I agree. At least on this version you can understand the words. Others the music is so loud that you can't hear the words to understand what the songs about.

[@adamcurtis5468]

The rhythm guitar tone is holy grail material. Sweet non-denominational Jesus...

[@baliscotsurf]

good ear. I think he's playin an old Guyatone

[@booitsnick]

Gold foil pickups are a gift from god

[@monsieurneptune]

I want to marry every single person in that room. This is beyond.

[@jazzramirez-garfias6763]

I fell in love with Father John Misty's music in the summer of 2016 and I still feel that way 6 years later. He stirs something deep in my soul.

[@rhianna4972]

I could watch this every day and it would never lose its enchantment

[@trishbaker2553]

I've easily watched this 500 times in the past 2 years lol

[@nickfromCO]

this is how every rock band should strive to perform...

[@TheHappys]

This is an amazing vibe in this live take.

[@meggles2188]

Every video I watch of him,I absolutely love-funny,badass and handsome. Can't get enough and I play this song practically every day.

[@FernandoJCaldas]

best performance of Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings

[@liminalkat]

that was overwhelming in so many levels

[@tdog52436]

Oh wow I was not expecting that violin. What a perfect song. It makes me feel things no other song makes me feel. Beautiful and harrowing.

[@FeralPatrick]

I've listened to this song like 12 times today and it keeps getting better. how is that possible?

[@zimdollar]

Greatest single KEXP song ever.

[@CookieJoke]

yes shake them hips

[@delilasloan8914]

Iv never wanted to be a tambourine before so bad...

[@mileshedgehog]

This is the closest version I've found on here to how they perform it live. It's like he's going through an out-of-body sexual experience onstage. Intense.

[@growingupwithfloyd2184]

"Yes he's going through a out of body experience, back to his home planet, Pluto perhaps? Take Care Friends: 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ®️.

[@ironmaven1760]

@@growingupwithfloyd2184 HAHA I'll totally agree with that assessment

[@growingupwithfloyd2184]

@@ironmaven1760☆ I was just thinking, then I smelled something burning? Me! Just joking... Your a very beautiful woman if I may say so. Also, I would have never thought you would like the 'Scorpions'. I have a very funny story, and I'll tell it to you if you would like. Just let me know, right? Take Care and Be Well My Dear Friend:🇬🇧🇺🇸 ®️.

[@supervickivale]

After months, still my favorite video on KZbin.

[@k.ab.8910]

[@kallieannabanana]

This version is impossible to play 1x and be done with it. 👏🏽 best 👏🏽 one 👏🏽 ever!!!

[@jevinday]

So incredible. I've seen him twice. He's better live than on his albums. Hard to imagine right?

[@aric5011]

I dont think it gets better than this. Fing WOW!

[@exxxcessivejag]

This is so good. I can't deal.

[@RayBraymusic]

Incredible version

[@crystald3lirium]

Forever in love with this performance

[@orangejuiceNyQuil1]

That guitar whirring makes my life complete 🎸

[@shitzgiggles6456]

[@chrisbotts8334]

[@supervickivale]

Still can't believe this video is 10 years old. What happened ?

[@anshumishra8480]

One of the most epic thing I've heard

[@lyndamancia1189]

[@sarahbelle6069]

The shivers this gives me 🤯

[@chriscornuelle3774]

Earworming on this all day ... I just had to have a hit. But I can quit any time. Rly.

[@fmaguire]

Just found this 8 yrs later and kudos to Kevin Suggs. Jeesh. Would love to know how that bass drum sound was concocted and captured.

[@danielsarahwright9987]

So so good!

[@Adam-th5cy]

I love latte sipping jams!

[@gypsy4460]

[@deexology]

Amazing

[@FernandoJCaldas]

this is epic

[@ChristianSpraungel]

i am so damn excited to see these guys play at BONNAROO this year. WHO'S WITH ME

[@gogan]

I've watched this clip about 100 times and a tenth of those views my attention is averted from the awesome sound to dudes wacky dancing which is an altogether different kind of awesome

[@silntkll]

I’m so mad i missed him when he was here

[@meganburns3450]

It's just soo goooodddd

[@thFence]

The t-shirt too good doe. Legalize LSD

[@74opaque]

Awesome!

[@jacobg88]

Excellent! Love it! Thank you! Love the music, I give a great thanks to KEXP for the content they provide however, as a Seattle resident my whole life (age 35) I have to ask why so many people with KEXP stickers on their cars in Seattle drive like absolute a**hole*? How do they listen to great music and then want to be sh*tty to the human behind them on the road? Anyway love the tunes!

[@matkosmolic1818]

so Kool... I salute you and rest of the band. Hank (the dirty one) Chinasky

[@hellsbbgurl]

Wow! I felt that way down...made my ganglia twitch!

[@nickfromCO]

[@Allitude]

😵😵😵I came. I think.

[@wonderland1911]

Does anyone remember on which episode of Californication this song was played

[@ytcarol]

Check them out. One of the best live concerts I've seen.

[@cocolove3697]

Fucking excellent

[@alspageddi]

It looks like a Star EG-80H from the late 1950s. These were made by Guyatone in Japan. Thing is, Guyatone made guitars for different companies, putting different names on them. So this could be a Guyatone, it could be a Star, or an Antolia, etc. Anyway, go find a pic of an EG-80H, I think you'll notice they are essentially identical to this guitar.

[@elpascalmods7384]

Respect to Micah Bell for his drumming

[@CatskillStudio]

Johnny Depp from Blow on bass....

[@kristenelzey5753]

Ohhhh mannn, I'm so turned on! Didn't expect that...

[@jazizq]

Same reaction!
