Let there be music!

[@alonelycrow]

Mike Mogis' guitar in this song just amazes me. Always in the background and at the same time, giving Bright Eyes a beautiful sound.

[@TheVictim714]

I stay up late just to see Bright Eyes perform. It was AMAZING!!! When they started playing, i scream with excitement and woke up my parents, they got scared..lol BRIGHT EYES ROCKS!!! BEST BAND EVER!!!

[@some-friggin-dude]

Master class Rocks so hard Such spacey spiritual existential lyrics Luv it

[@michaelmitchell7959]

THEY ROCKED THIS PERFORMANCE. IT WAS AWESOME TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO. WAY TO GO Y'ALL. BRAVO! And so glad to see Conor feeling what he's singing again. Bravo Bravo

[@cassandra9957]

His live performances have really improved through the years.

[@QuintinSarren]

Improved?

[@brittnickx0]

He's always Been amazing

[@jcreate8]

I'm going to see Bright Eyes tomorrow night! I'm so excited! Conor, his music, his mind, everything about him is just so damn beautiful.

[@drvonfrie]

this was the one time i watched letterman and i discovered a new fav band

[@1Lozzix1]

This is ridiculously great... I wish they'd perform anywhere near me!

[@1984craine]

Conor Oberst was about the last person to give up emo bangs. I should know, I followed his example

[@toddepley6624]

and thank God he finally did...

[@timmythetuba]

Real hero is Mogis laying down some fine guitar

[@kagendewey]

always there

[@matthewmohri9990]

Conor never underplays Mike's contribution to Bright Eyes.

[@dpopluf7370]

Actually, great riffs here

[@vanityduluoz]

Oh my, I spy with my little eye one of the (brand spanking) new Vintage Vibe electric pianos! It's the stunning silver-top looking wurlitzer, and it sounds amazing! I am so excited to see one of these in action.

[@jPup_]

So dope that spiderman managed to get 3 talented musicians of his exact same height to join him in the front of the stage. (just playin Conor, love u thank u)

[@kcDakota]

what a great lyricist....the Dylan of the new age... poet....AND incredible in a live performance!

[@sherinaNikkie8]

i've replaying this all day, everyday sine the 24

[@hcfillman]

i cant wait to see him this summer in omaha! home town shows are always the best

[@RikuMarisa]

cant believe how famous hes getting... gives a great performance.

[@petefernandes1413]

They were so good.

[@addictioner]

Amazing performance everyone killed and i loved the fact it just the core pppl of bright eyes on stage the ones hes been touring with for years i love the shirt too !

[@oranjjjggg]

Their keyboardist is amazing

[@umbroog7342]

Great performance

[@YoseMiteEmery]

this was so good!

[@DevoxMD]

Man, I want his sweater

[@TheBear64507]

I don't know if anyone has said yet or not, but the keyboardist is laura burhenn, she is playing with them on this recent tour

[@z1thmpsn]

Oh Conor... you are so amazing.

[@telemark79]

beautiful. powerful. brighteyesful!!!

[@kate81585]

This reminds me of "old" Bright Eyes so much: the song, the lyrics, the "jam" feeling that comes with a big group, even the way Conor is dressed and coiffed, haha. Don't get me wrong-- I love just about everything he's ever done-- but "The People's Key" also has that added element of nostalgia (at least for me). Can't wait to see them in June... I scored pre-sale tickets in Philadelphia. Totally worth the 6 hour drive, as I've only gotten to see him with the Mystic Valley Band. :)

[@SidewaysIsDead]

In my English large group at school the teachers played this song for the poetry unit, they didn't check the sound first so when it came on it started LOUD, and everyone jumped a little. Made me proud to be a Bright Eyes fan Also, LETTERMAN YOU'RE HOLDING IT UPSIDE DOWN YOU IDIOT!

[@lf4692]

ALBUM IS UPSDE DOWN

[@thebluescreenofdeath]

damn that was awesome!

[@Emericanization]

This is love.

[@megadeth773]

@DrivenBlack his "drummer bass kick stand" (kick drum head) is C&C for C&C Custom Drums

[@cavanherk]

My favorite album of 2011 by far.

[@rivershyde6]

I wish the studio version could have sounded like this. In fact, I wish the whole album had this kind of sound. It's great.

[@iknowme]

wow he sounds good!

[@AbsoluteZero89]

Bright Eyes was amazing at SXSW! Its too bad it had to end.

[@frankk1979]

nice job

[@jefftaargus6672]

so good yes

[@coreyhudson9855]

Jeff Taargus And before the So. Good. Yes. emphatic existed (.)

[@uhhhmaeve]

I might have found my new favorite band.

[@drvonfrie]

i love this band lol

[@ernestooqs5793]

brillante

[@iNEEDANAPx]

ANYONE ELSE NOTICE LETTERMAN'S HOLDING THE CD UPSIDE DOWN WHEN HE FIRST INTRODUCES THEM?

[@HeathenHammer80]

Conor, please play the Colonial in Keene NH!

[@taylor7815]

I'm so glad Drake Bell got away from Nickolodeon and started doing this......

[@aarfeld]

I'm guessing that this is the national television debut of the new Vintage Vibe electric piano, which is based on Rhodes tine/tonebar engineering. A beautiful instrument, it's a shame that its sound wasn't featured more prominently.

[@JustinSoileau]

I love when Paul says "Aww. Too Bad.." TehehehehehefhehehfeWIHJSADLKFpoot

[@rokrguy93]

Is Conor playing a... baritone Tele?

[@leighxcore11]

@PULCHRITUDINOUS actually we're both wrong. the inside part has just been printed upside down.. the cut out flames are the right way, it's just the actual album artwork that's upside down. No need to be so hostile, friend. We're all here for the same reason.

[@betoski]

Yay

[@jesmith1105]

Does anyone know what guitar (the red one) Mike Mogis is using? Also, create performance.

[@lildrumski]

Is that CC on the drummer bass kick stand for Chastworth???

[@TomSplasky]

Still Love you, conor~

[@cutuphalfdead]

@PULCHRITUDINOUS That was an LP not a CD

[@awholelotofheart]

@brightredrain everything. she is the queen of all.

[@PrettyLoather]

@314aloneinthedark314 what is he singing about that you think ppl are missing?

[@FrankLucasGiacone]

What is the actual name of the color of Conor's tele

[@christianwalker91]

Butterscotch

[@JayIngold]

It is.

[@TearsAmongAshes]

The instrumentation sounded like The Bravery or something. Odd. I love how Conor still looks like a kid.

[@mguygh]

@pokerbabe779 a bit of eye candy and for detail. whats your band called i wants to see if your any good

[@TheSim1derful]

@pokerbabe779 She sang some pretty rockin' solo work when I saw them last week. Seriously, this chick rocks.

[@audrey60hepburn]

@MrReverendgreen Her name is Laura Burhenn from Georgie James

[@sknywhtboy88]

nice teleprompter reading Dave.

[@leighxcore11]

So glad Conor's hair is back.

[@awholelotofheart]

@pokerbabe779 are you not a musician? i'm just curious, because if you are you would know she doesn't need to be the most dominant sound, it's the balance of her voice against conor's. it's a tone color thing.

[@PrettyLoather]

@MrReverendgreen I think she's the lead singer of the mynabirds (sp?).

[@jmurphpioneer]

what kind of guitar is the dude in the back playing?

[@some-friggin-dude]

sound is off video yeah?

[@Taoofchao]

@PULCHRITUDINOUS holy shit thats a big cd

[@IsItNotEnuff2BJustMe]

does anyone know the chords?

[@skary]

Andy LeMaster, Clark Baechle, and Laura Burhenn in the backing band?!? Hell yeah, that's like a Saddle Creek all-star cast. If only Jenny Lewis and Jason Boesel were playing with them. Then they'd be unstoppable.

[@Masteryre]

People asking "what is the girl for!!?!?!?" are dumb. She's part of the touring set-up of the band - she plays/sings on other songs and adds a bit of vocal depth to this one. She's part of the band, that's why she's there.

[@soCtra]

@missxcaliforniaa I know she isn't playing much in this song but they are a band so I think it's cool that she is there and play her little thing in the end. I don't think she is the one who wants to be there because it must be kind of awkward being on stage when you don't play anything most of the song.

[@ihavesoul4real]

That lady’s keyboard must only play if you stare down at it

[@tomlangford1999]

I didn't know emo Peter Parker started a band

[@iNEEDANAPx]

@leighxcore11 excuse me for the incorrect terminology. the "vinyl" the "special edition lp" the "album", and everything else everyone responded with, correcting me. yeah, i've owned the "CD" since feb 15th as well. and as for being a dIe hArD BrIgHt eYeSs FaN ~*~*~* and not knowing which way to hold the album,cd,vinyl,special edition LP blahbla, look at 0:42-0:45 in this video saddle creek posted, then tell me he's not holding it upside down

[@derfsup]

@dude999998 He's got it running through the effects pedal on top

[@getup2727]

@jordanhackney im not sure what u mean when u say he is 8 different people

[@MelLyon]

Makes Toronto a must. Not that it wasn't.

[@BenjaminSchriener]

Is it possible that it could be Laura from the Mynabirds? That's my best guess.

[@BrightEyes10003]

@oitoy i didnt say that i didnt know what he was doing or i found it weird or anything like that. i said i wouldnt know how to RESPOND to it

[@TheNeptune47]

@mils0r Spot on

[@BobbyLeshinski]

@THElluis1 favorite line

[@ivanmont]

what is exactly that girl for?

[@iampaperbackscrawl]

That or he has a regular guitar tuned to B Standard. Most likely it is a baritone.

[@doitinasubmarine]

This isn't their last album.

[@takingbackchance]

@mfwilkens that's a vinyl. wtf.

[@satuesday]

God.

[@xoFrankenstein]

Diamond polka dotted shirt FTW.

[@ItsFlod]

Does anyone else see Letterman wondering off to the side at 1:56?

[@lasofia13]

mike is so cute

[@scrollandkey]

@ItsFlod can you blame him?

[@thankyou4thevenom8]

oh man... letterman in 1080p? no Bueno...

[@lovablefriend]

March 6th can't come soon enough.

[@Tsumami__]

@MrPohnpeiboy no it isnt, and the patterns are similar,but different

[@BrightEyes10003]

CONOR AND THE KEYBOARDIST'S OUTFITS MATCH!

[@gregscreations]

fuk yeh.

[@sonorpaiste702]

@whereartesteban Yeah. I don't know, he's just so tense it makes me cringe trying to think of playing guitar like that.

[@williamwright9079]

!jollY gooD

[@johnmorisi8]

@PULCHRITUDINOUS He does that often lol
