fun. - Some Nights (2011-11-09 - Bowery Ballroom, New York, NY)

[@TweezerStreet]

this is an AMAZING song!!! Sooooo good, I can't wait to blast this all the time.The whoa's remind me of Cecilia..... Thumbs if you get the reference.

[@donnabellez]

My favorite song on the album! It deserves it's own single, for sure.

[@mbrbug011]

This song has been stuck on repeat for days.

[@iamfreakingawesom]

This is amazing. I have never heard an album that i could listen from front to back. this band is fucking amazing

[@PrimaveraP]

I have been listening to Nate sing since I was a sophomore in high school. That's over four years ago. Kind of crazy though, a week after I started listening to The Format the band broke up. I can't say I like this album as much as his previous albums, but they deserve all the credit they get. And honestly, the only way to listen to Nate is by listening to him live. Good video.

[@knott47]

This man's voice is the best thing in the whole of music, and this song is incredible.

[@the12nina]

omg... This is beautiful!! I'm falling in love for them! ♥

[@FTWYES]

Great band! Great performance!

[@clopezsparrow]

i love this song. SO much. i'm literally addicted. it sounds like the musical baby of Queen and Lion King.

[@Snipto]

Gotta get a video for this song. Most energetic song ever!

[@ccurtisg]

gives me chills.

[@BeauregardB]

I love this song. Thanks for uploading.

[@alyvp92]

incredible. you are a saint for recording this.

[@chelseaadora]

And I fall in love with another song before I've even heard it.

[@mayra2511]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

[@TheSquirlyStub]

March 10th needs to hurry up. I've waited for 3 years to see these guys live, and it's finally happening. So stoked!

[@squidy2343]

If the vocoder is what makes it seem like Nate is singing with a whole group, I really like that effect. It's sounds more powerful because it seems like a swarm of voices singing right in your ears! I love it!

[@genehayes]

I am SOOO EXCITEDDDD

[@TurismoCoyote]

By FAR. Thank you, finally.

[@BoyManJeffy]

Wasn't expecting it to sound this good live.

[@tylerjosephellis]

They are good live too!!!! THANK THE LORD

[@steelvenom2003]

You know what, I'll be the first to tell you that I hate the unnatural shit clogging up music today, because it takes the focus away from real musicianship and puts entertainment in the hands of unfeeling computers. But here, that technology is used tastefully, and it doesn't detract from the artistry or musicianship. At all. We still see perfectly that he's a decent singer without help, there's a strong, melodic vocal line, and there's also something you hardly ever see anymore: good harmony.

[@constantvariable2342]

I remember watching the other videos from this show back in November but told myself I wouldn't listen to this one because there wasn't a studio version.

[@erification215]

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS LIVE. HOLY FUCK.

[@tdud007]

The instruments and guitar are sounding more prominent in this album, pumped!

[@bitnotgoodyeah]

i am so freaking jealous of anyone who has seen Fun. live and therefore heard the songs off of Some Nights pre release. i'd sell a kidney to see Fun.

[@diesel1872008]

these guys rule!

[@constantvariable2342]

and now I'm watching it and telling myself I'm an idiot for waiting because this is freaking' gorgeous.

[@rocker9300]

Okay you can't say Nate cant sing until you see one of their shows. They have he best stage presents i've ever experienced, most of that comes from him not missing a note.

[@TwiskyOsama]

Epic!!!

[@tslv]

U sir are saying it right!

[@rascalking4100]

Jack is just having a grand old time with his guitar. It's kind of adorable.

[@samcrabbD3]

Keen for this record.

[@jenperl]

The fact of the matter is that he can sing it acoustically as well and it rocks

[@xnorcrossx]

It's a vocoder not auto tune. It's not used for pitch correction but for stylistic purposes. Take it easy people haha.

[@nurinw]

aww they played during my 16th birthday :-)

[@dipper817]

I got all excited when We Are Yiung got popular because I saw them perform it in concert when they opened for Panic! At the Disco a whole year ago... I was cool before anyone else lol :)

[@HolbytaTook]

I wouldn't say exactly, but I agree that queen is probably one of their biggest influences.

[@XPlicit986]

@capitalq hahah that's what I did too! KZbin was my main source. I could never find out why my newer canons were sounding so bad though. So thanks for mentioning that! I ended up getting a panasonic lumix and that has been pretty decent so far.

[@ccurtisg]

@MrQwerty8996 its not autotune its vocoding. spreads his voice into a chord that the keyboardist plays. pretty cool actually. you can hear his regular voice within it

[@SuperKevinPang]

best in this album :)

[@lilmo3141]

i downloaded the album because of we are young then i realized this instantly

[@misschica51]

Thank you for recording this. By the way did you happen to record the other 3 new songs that they played? You are so lucky to have been there.

[@icecreamman2408]

Easily the best song on the album, and much better than We Are Young... It gives me chills

[@Arkain9]

This should be more popular than We Are Young

[@bryceklebe]

i fucking love this

[@JesuszillaCorp]

yes especially with the speakers booming in my car.

[@Diocletian249]

@TheSeventhGrader amen to that!

[@funnypanda99]

I don't care what people say about this autotune thingy. All I know is he can sing.

[@sweetascandise]

I love that he is sporting a white leather jacket..

[@Twinsin92]

I must have been like right in front of you! Yup, I was the dude in front with the glasses

[@Amari0s]

@rockandroll4567 IKR. I'M GOING!!!

[@iamredlasso]

some nights (album) is Nate Ruess' finest work in my opinion

[@jolielive3]

My husband. *tears*

[@XPlicit986]

awesome video!!! what kinda camera did you use??

[@idontlikemakingthis]

Anyone know what jacket Nate is wearing? That's pretty nice..

[@gaspo35]

Vocoder sounds sick

[@someguy2113]

i think i'm in love with emily moore (the girl guitarist)

[@ceciliadecicco6721]

HaZeXPrOsTaR es lo que usas los músicos para poder escucharte así mismos , y asilar un poco el sonido del publico y demás instrumentos, cuando necesitan afinar un poco, solo escucharse ellos mismos

[@MaRTiiaNN]

I agree, that song became popular because of the Chevy commercial. Not to say it wouldn't have anyway but yeah.

[@emstinky]

sweet jesus

[@davidsondrew]

Your both wrong, its a vocoder. The keyboardist controls it and it creates harmonies.

[@rockandroll4567]

MAY4!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kwindsor3]

does anyone have the lyrics for this song?

[@free533]

yep. I actually love it but i wish it would be toned down just a bit. At least he's not using it because he can't sing but because it actually sounds awesome with the song

[@yonopuedo90]

in the thumbnail picture i clicked to get to this video, it kinda looks like nate is chugging a half gallon haha

[@Andriykoblin]

are they using live auto tune?!

[@jkjordinkid]

ear monitor so he can hear himself on stage...cause its loud w the audience and all the insturments ect

[@Andriykoblin]

Well live auto tune is pretty much automatic so it just corrects to the nearest note

[@HoldAgainstAres]

@amymichel Yup. He clearly has not gone through puberty yet.

[@masterpthebear]

Must. Not. Sleep. Must. Tell. Everyone.

[@j2n]

hey, capitalq! you're the tmbg guy! you like fun. too?!!1 can we start bonding?

[@109Tyler]

freddie mercury of our generation. fuck. yeah.

[@omargod23]

Would be awesome if he tried for the high notes (terrible lies).. Favorite part!

[@BelMisi3000]

WHY CAN'T I LIVE IN NY?'

[@dramaticpickles]

@yogakeybd auto tune isn't fun

[@rascalking4100]

The point of the vocoder was to have a line of chords rather than single notes. No performer can do that live.

[@x2tp4x]

@mrbratton69 the killers are one of my favorite bands but Brandon Flowers has nothing on Nate Ruess

[@cesagun]

They've done a cover of Radio Gaga :)

[@AreolaGrande94]

yea its ridiculous. the previous generation hates on modern musical technology cherished hendrix, rolling stones, beatles etc. while the one previous to that hated the fact that the guitar changed from acoustic to electric. the one previous to that hated that classical music died. isn't the point just to like what's going in your ears? who cares how?

[@sillysquirrel2]

he's hot

[@Willo29O592]

@Mario0401 ...lolwhut?

[@jkjordinkid]

or an ear plug so he dont go deaf from it all

[@JaketheGreat123456]

is it just me, or did freddie just walked back into the building

[@MaulzComboz]

we are young sucks haha. i like every song by fun but that one

[@t121977]

Hahahah yeah, but in my opinion Nate Ruess doesn't NEED the vocoder! :P

[@jkjordinkid]

so

[@cseuk04]

Rick Astley lookalike????

[@steventucker80]

sounds like freddie mercury
