Incubus - Nice to know you (live on letterman)

The greatest band in the whole wide world playing Nice to know you while David Letterman eats sandwiches (or is it a cookie?!)
24/4/08 -
Here, have a bit of trivia to thank you all for watching this video and sharing my deep, deep love for this band. The "I Love You, Cameron" is.. as far as I know, from Mike to his girlfriend at the time Cameron Richardson. She is a model and actress and has starred in many movies and tv shows including House MD (my favourite show, duh) in which she played a hermaphrodite.
The next person to make a dirk/ben comment gets slapped, right?

These guys are such amazing musicians, all their live stuff is indistinguishable from their albums. Flawless.

[@dyr234]

their music was so sonically diverse and heavy and rocking in a lot of ways.

God his voice is so good live. Hard to find that in bands!

I'm 20, this is a vintage pic of me extracted from my brothers's camera when I was 13 :).

This seems like it would such a hard song to sing live, but Brandon always does such a great job.

[@kingexclusivo]

This is real talent man, 5 pure talented musicians performing a piece of art. We need more bands like this these days. I'm 17 and I'm ashamed of my generation music wise

Incubus is so beautiful in every way. The guitar parts. The beautiful bass. The guitarists crazy afro. The lead singers voice. The band as a whole. Incubus brings me a happiness and a feeling nothing else can or ever will.

[@herethere65]

crazy how he sounds the exact same live... such a unique voice

[@bunnyhead71]

I have been to approximately 300 concerts over the past 30 years..I saw Incubus 5 times...This band gets such little acclaim for their talent. I have never seen tighter musicians playing live, par for maybe Zappa or King Crimson...Easily 5 of the best shows I have ever been to...

[@sexysingingcupcake]

You have excellent taste in music.

[@kyklain86]

Couldn't agree more, seen them last week being my fifth time and they're always good live. Going to see them again in March.

[@adamleuty7574]

Saw them in 2000 they opened for Deftones

[@ichasepaper954]

bunnyhead71 never seen a live show.. but it would never b the same without the original bassist... love the band nmw tho

[@lilybond5536]

I saw incubus this year for my first concert and they were so amazing omg

[@OxycodoneHelpsMyBack]

Insane. Easily one of the best live performances on Letterman, easily.

[@MK-xl9tt]

Dude your name made me lose it !!

[@MightyMako]

Brandon Boyd is a fucking dream. He sounds just as good live. I love that.

[@chromegnats]

One of my biggest crushes of all time!!

[@chromegnats]

Narf oh, shut up, dork. You should work on letting people enjoy things how they choose and worry about your own ass. She doesn’t need a lecture for her comment. Grow up.

[@chromegnats]

Narf yeah, dork. You sound like a massive one and also like you are about 13. Get a clue. “Get hit be a car” good one, dipshit. You really got me!!

[@chromegnats]

Narf oh, nice. Now you are shitting people with metal handicaps and also a suicide jab. Seriously? How fucking embarrassing. Keep digging, mongoloid. Looking more and more pathetic by the minute! 👌 Fucking garbage human.

[@Egoblivion]

Narf Damn, dude!? I feel sorry for your kid.

[@Goldpilar]

I miss this stuff so much. What a great performance. What a great song. That keyboard riff at the beginning of the song has been in my head forever. I used to turn out the lights in my room for that opening riff when I was a kid to make the atmosphere psychedelic a bit. Good times. A lot of people now have completely forgotten about that era, the early 2000s. That was the last time rock music still had a gigantic hold on society because the music was still excellent! Now its all underground.

[@Budoo6]

Mmmmm not really. I didn't like the grunge in the 90s

[@jesselowe9374]

For some reason, that riff always gave me a cool vibe in my head and made me think of the color orange. Like a medium or dark swirling orange hue.

[@prodNieva]

most underrated band ever

Brandon should've been cast for the sequel to The Crow

[@jreqwe]

its 2015.... incubus with dirk just never grows old!

[@therealrockpresley]

Incubus is so FREAKIN' GOOD! Talk about a band that has grown in leaps and bounds over the years. such a fan. they sound so identical to their records live it's insanity. The records are so produced the right way, but when you see them live, it's FULLER. they so rock.

[@jasonlawson8980]

An amazing band and one of my top 5 favorite bands. Just ridiculously talented, and their music is so melodic yet heavy. You really can't put them in any little box category.

[@lukasm8990]

It felt like the 90s never ended until aroubd 2010. I can't be the only one who thinks this.

[@tonydwaine7959]

[@aaronvigil9910]

No the 90's ended in the 90's. This is good ol early 2000's. Different era. Can't compare the two.

i discovered dirk just today as i binge watch some old live videos of incubus. dirk has some uniqueness in him. i can see his soul as he plays. i just wish he'd still stick around with the band.

[@YZdude]

one of the very few bands that sound good live

[@HakibasGaming]

Thats why I like them so much! Its doesn't matter where you hear them, live or in the studio...they sound great and the same either way!

[@broganhogan3469]

I love Incubus but I'm just wondering... what happened to the rest of that cookie? Did he save it for later? Eat it during the song? You think he made enough chocolate chip cookies and then shared them with Incubus? Or maybe Incubus made him the cookies, and he was promoting their cookies + their album together?

[@depressed_cows]

Brogan Hogan maybe that cookie is still there to this day

[@frank1594]

I honestly thought he was going to plug a cookie company

[@metalmbabe69a59]

Brandon Boyd is such a babe they do sound really good live

[@o4o29o1967]

Love Incubus. So impressed with the sound quality of this live performance. Usually bands sound like crap live. Most can't hit the right note to save their lives. Good job. Well done. Cheeri-o and all that business. lol Just having fun.

People may say whatever they want about Letterman, but no other late night show featured them more than him. This includes full live concerts on this show, they have probably been on more than any other musicians in the history of this show. They must love it too they keep coming back.

[@E40kGeek_Tactical]

wow what a great performance, got to love incubus

[@1sty]

and itll be 50 years filled with the beautiful sound of incubus:)

[@newnangolf09]

it's because they just love to play music for crowds that will actually listen. they probably had a good reaction from the crowd.... I say this from my experience seeing them 4 times and every time everyone in the crowd has epiphanies of peace and joy.... such an experience is too amazing to describe in words..... that's why I believe they've played on Letterman so much :)

[@bman1320]

These guys are just as good live as on CD.

[@bestofbothworlds2645]

the best performance in my opinion on letterman ever.

[@bluedelphium]

jose is one of my favorite drummers. dirk was indeed the shit, his style was so groovy and locked in so well with jose's beat, i miss that too to be honest... but either way, incubus continues to be my favorite band of all fucking time.

[@CoMKrew47]

yeah. you can also tell when he says the first word in the song "hey" its much higher pitched than the recorded version

[@FMinor211]

There will never be another band like, or as good as Incubus holy shit. It's impossible to get the sound that they have.
