Future Islands - Full Performance - Live on KCRW, 2017

[@mishkathlay]

There is nothing else in this world that matters more than watching Sam perform.

[@KevinKennedy-ry1gb]

Keep your creative eyes and ears open. The best is yet to come ,!!!

[@jimsmith1125]

Had a tough year in 2017 and The Far Field literally saved my life and I'm not joking.........as good as it gets.

[@unloveableandre]

Hope things got easier for you, my friend. 2017 was tough as well here...

[@inflationistransitory]

checkin in, in 2022

[@callum7081]

2023, how's it going now?

[@xCoolStoryBra]

Hope all is well in 2024 and beyond 🙏

[@T.Novak5312]

This amazing & unique band is way too globally under rated. Over 1000 live shows. Not many mainstream bands can even come close to that number or the sound of these talented individuals. Sams emotion & stage presence are on a level of their own and in my opinion no one can even come close. Im mind blown everytime i hear this band, love them 🤯🤯🤯

[@cyczanin]

Box of beer for you my friend

[@supermaxx1]

For sure! 🙌

[@kingkingbundystrong]

Sam's stage presence and performance reminds me a lot of Gord Downie from Tragically Hip

[@vinceri260]

I am litteraly listening to it in car, work and home everyday since I watched it in the first time

[@levonhelm3465]

“I always pick the strangest ways, to say goodbye”😢 never forget that day rip my brother, Day Glow Fire

[@Vonyccc]

I wish you the best dude, life is rough, luckily we have amazing artists like these guys to make our world that little brighter! Keep it going strong !

[@doxies]

Love love love Future Islands - their music has helped me celebrate the ups and pulled me through my lowest points over the last 8 years. Haven't seen them live for for a couple of years - really hope to catch up with one of their amazing concerts in 2023 - every performance probably one of the best anyone will be lucky to ever see.

[@SabinnaD]

Just bought tickets couple of days ago to their concert in Bruxelles. It will be my first time seeing them perform. I am beyond excited. I am travelling internationally to see them. They are the only band I have a wish to see performing. See you there maybe :)

[@LangstonDev]

​@@SabinnaDHow was it?!

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

One of the most unnerving yet satisfying frontmen to watch. Horrifically graceful

[@Shenanigasms]

one of the best live music vibes in the world. They go all out EVERY SINGLE TIME

[@Starky25]

And they sound absolutely amazing compared to recordings in the studio!!!

[@jackbauer8057]

absolute masterpiece

[@lukeshakespeare4462]

Check out khrungbin

[@miguelcomparan8682]

All the songs makes me feel great, but man, walking through that door...

Pheww walking 🚶‍♂️ through the door 🚪 have to agree powerful 👏

[@miguelcomparan8682]

@@leightonlee4108 we're golden

[@robertbuckley1503]

Seriously though.... great beat and a lot of good buildup in that song. Not to mention that scream part is epic every time, he could command an army with it.

[@I-was-cured-alright]

Agreed, what do you think he is writing in the air when he performs Walking Through That Door? 14:50

[@rachelroseg1775]

YESSS!! SAME HERE!

[@user-bg7vn4de5u]

This band overwhelm my emotions almost on every level. It’s like my brain short circuits when I listen too or watch them. They absolutely split the atom musically. Thank you so much future islands 🙏.

[@strika52]

This is now one of my all-time favorite KZbin performances

[@eriksonbrock4729]

check out the one they did at Ameoba

[@strika52]

@@eriksonbrock4729 thanks brother. I will

[@craighakes3540]

Fun fact, not only is Sam an amazing front man, he's also an accountant.

[@joseguipadovani]

that must be a joke... or it just explain the way he dresses ha ha

[@Babaziba]

I thought that the second I saw him.

[@cstef1970]

Amazing band, couldn't stop listen for them, outstanding performance at Summerwell festival 2022.

[@revieboy]

Superb band, the emotion he conveys on the live performances make them so much better than the recorded material

[@micahclawrence]

I’ll take all of that ya got!

[@MaxwellEdison33344]

Letterman !

[@joancline4844]

Seen them in Middlesbrough Town Hall September and I’m hooked …amazing .. love everything ..Sam you are unique 💞wow the energy …

[@britishbobcat2098]

Middlesbrough is my birthplace. I have lived in Canada for 37 years and have seen these guys a few times here. Are they amazing or what? They are playing here in Toronto in July......off to see them yet again. Sam has quite the back story.

[@TheGame-w1u]

Sam is great example of what a true performer is supposed to be. He gives a performance every show; his stage presence and body language speak so much more loudly than the lyrics he's reciting. Truly a powerfully moving experience to witness these boys doing their thing. Thanks Future Islands

[@thevolsteadvolstead5942]

THANK YOU 89.9 KCRW (Santa Monica, CA) for giving us another audio gem. Future Islands; what a great performance.

[@vishnurajgir1071]

Love them they are so talented

[@mariad.873]

Ive listened to this album so many times in the car...This performance

[@TheMidaugust]

I go back to this video from time to time. What an amazing band!

[@CPSWEDEN]

Been listening to Future for awhile and damn it's amazing good. This live performance didn't disappoint! Great energy and great musicians.

[@kevinmorton5149]

I love this band with all my ❤.....

[@jaxxgray4987]

So so love this band.. blows me away ❤🎉😮😮😮xx

[@kraandersson]

That voice is 😍

[@jasonsteel4882]

Superb...but got to mention the bass guitarist. Another level!

[@georgebowling842]

He's the reason I ditched guitar and bought a bass

[@jonharvey6547]

I’m only hear to train my AI to find all the moments in this live video when he sang those deep Cookie Monster notes, and create the ultimate Cookie Monster AI vocalist.

[@jadeitowy5867]

That AI will stll miss soul

[@Denizen-Unknown]

Piss off with that tech crap.

[@andreaschaerer1939]

I just saw them in Brighton recently and I was completely taken aback by the Sam's energy and positivity - I was completely in love with the performance - I wish to see them again soon

[@chrishayes7999]

Day Glow Fire is an awesome song and very underrated. Killer tempo

[@carlatrujillog]

Love u so much! Sam’s voice and performance, the 80’s like style and sound…Real fan here 🖤

[@benask5085]

When you realize Future Island's look is Dad Band......BUT FLIPPING GOOD, AND PRODUCE AMAZING MUSIC!

Never stop, can't get enough

[@matthewrobinson1619]

you can hear "pounding fist on chest" in the mic and its one of many great examples of Sam's intensity

For a moment I thought it was my dad singing. I liked it.

your dad needs to front a band.

[@supermaxx1]

Such an enthralling set, by a really Awesomely underrated band! Here still in 2023/24

[@MonKeiAlexanderRodriguez]

Es todo un pedazo de toque, la bateria suena hermoso. Como un reloj, mi total admiración para el baterista. Sam con su voz e interpretación en cada canción nos enamora su personaje en tarima. Toda la banda, el bajista es tremendo y el de los teclados ni se diga! La mejor banda que he conocido y de la cual estoy enamorado desde hace 10 años.

[@Erika16Rosario]

OMG I LOVE SAM SO MUCH!!

This band are so tight it’s unbelievable and unmatchable!! What talent . They site OMD as a major influence early on. I hear it in their style but they are truly unique for all that. Amazing

[@Sasquatch10]

The performance of Day Glow Fire almost got me teary eyed, it hits different after internalising the lyrics.

[@brainwaiver1]

Simply brilliant.

Something is out of tune in this gig for the first 2 songs at least... Just starting watching

Why do all the songs sound exactly the same? 😃
