Wow… I guess I’ve been rewatching this performance for 14 years now… I still tear up… going to see them live for the first time this summer. They are still so amazing good. Hopefully I can get a hoodie.

[@shucksful]

This performance will always be my favorite performance. …from any band, anywhere…ANYTIME. For all time!

[@garki1369]

Truly. Talking Heads "Stop making sense" is a favorite, but I think I feel this a bit more.

[@renedesign5354]

i bought my first single when i was 8 in 1964, and have worked in the music business my entire life and i would like to say this is the best band performance i have ever heard.

[@brainwaiver1]

I was 14 in '64 and fronted a band with Stones hopes. Even with the likes of Van Morrison, Iggy Pop and Tim Buckley as great examples let me say there are none compared to Sam Herring. Future Islands are the best ever. Lovely stuff.

[@MarkGormley-nn7fh]

Through my mum's love and taste of good music I was lucky to grow up listening to the likes of steely dan.the doors .Ian dury and the blockheads. John holt .David ruffin. Bowie .The smiths .buzzcocks .magazine etc but as much as I still love listening to these bands I'm more grateful that amongst the shite that's about today future islands are there for me as a current band that I can look forward to seeing live

I love this because it shows Sam really going for it before the audience was responding. He gave it all to a crowd that wasn't responding that much - even though it was their THIRD show of the day. Much love and much respect. (From a fan who only caught on after "Singles" and is just now catching up on the backlog.)

[@dmstevens87]

its great, huh? glad you enjoy :)

[@gustavoarcila4912]

There’s just too much to say about this performance. I stumbled on to these guys randomly, but when I did it was a curious ear worm. I had to investigate there interesting sound. So eventually I come upon this performance and wow, I have too much to say. Sam oozes with emotion and it’s encompassing. Every word every scream puts you directly into the heart and soul of the song. The band is amazing as well but they are two separate entities that’s complement each Other harmoniously and would be nothing with out the other . The music is rhythmic and somber. Longing, lonely and cold, as somehow to keep a glimmer of hope. The synths are dark and romantic, the bass is optimistically pulsing as if to keep the balance between the two.Sam keeps the intensity and emotion that pulls you in. I can watch this once a day for the rest of my life and I first saw this in 2013

[@cyczanin]

Chapeau bas Gustavo. Your description is so accurate. I stumbled across them randomly on the radio, Googled them "what's this song" and love them ever since. What a band.

[@supermaxx1]

[@Sogonrei]

This concert is amazing on so many levels. The song " Inch of Dust" hit me on such a viseral level as well as the others. It's like Sam can read my mind it's crazy but then again we all experience a multitude of feelings but to express it as succinctly and beautifully as he does is an art, performance wise when I tear up, to smiling and wonder and joy and love. That is a prodigy.

@@courtneycrites2740 I disagree. I've seen them live and their drummer is absolutely amazing.

[@courtneycrites2740]

@@renegadeangel5194 won’t disagree. I saw them open for Phantogram right before letterman happened. Right before they started using a live drummer. They’re just a different band now. Both are great, but man just look at this video!!! There’s something so lo-fi and elemental to this setup.

[@seedsareus6853]

Thank you for posting this. The original video was taken down years ago and I couldn’t find it anywhere about 3-4 years ago. This entire set has such great memories that come with it for me. I can’t thank you enough for posting this. Thank you, sincerely.

[@nonnac4106]

The best performance of anything I’ve ever seen. It seriously feels like Sam thought he would die immediately after this set and therefore to give it everything he’s got.

[@Starf1yer]

Praying for an eternity where I’ll be able to somehow experience moments like this performance in person.

[@edsmith5355]

Holy shit....the day I became a Future Islands fan, it was through a short piece on Pitchfork (love'em, hate'em) that had embedded video footage of Inch of Dust...I've not been able to find that story in the P4 website to save my life, but I'll be damned if it wasn't this performance...thank you for sharing....beautiful

[@blanerampart4986]

This is amazing. Thanks for uploading. It's really cool to see that Sam's performance has always been this intense and sincere and not just acting up for the crowd. I have bought all their albums and seen as much as I thought there was to see of them on YT. I loved them before I saw this - I love them even more now. :)

[@dmstevens87]

You're very welcome :)

[@gigigooglas4242]

34:57 somehow even more intense than the studio version. Probably my favorite section out of any of their songs. To sleep! By light of you I can't endure, in light of things I can't ignore, in spite of all the roses thorns, it's hopeless works, it's hopeless words." chills every time. You can tell Sam was especially feeling it this performance aswell. When I day dream I imagine myself going back to this show with a time machine so I could experience it in person

[@MEandBlueBoutique]

Love this concert, and I’ve always loved shopping at Amoeba. The black and white and lower resolution lend themselves to their style and the venue. Thanks for posting!

[@terenceokane]

Thanks for reuploading! I didn't realize until I saw the upload date - the original has been taken down or unlisted. I watched this show dozens of times in 2016-2018. The performances of these songs are incredible. Its back up on Amoeba's website but just to be safe I ripped it so I never have to panic again. Glad these guys are still pumping out new music. I was able to see them in 2022ish and they were great, but the 2010-2015 period seems like an intimate time to catch them live. Smaller venues and smaller catalogue of songs - great recipe for a show you'll never forget.

As a person who was in the front row. We were all musicians, so we were being taken to school. They truly blew our minds, so we were too busy watching their pedals, equipment, and his broken leg. They were teaching us how to write a song/play live. Still the BEST gig I've ever been to.

and im probably reading too much into it but i always love how Sam changes "just cause you needed a hand" in Long Flight to "its cause you needed a hand" toward the end. to me, its like he goes from judging the person for cheating to realizing how he also takes responsibility for leaving for 4 months on tour and how he can understand a situation that he once suffered through.
