OMG!!!!!!!! This is incredible!!!!! They are amazing to pick this song! Forever grateful. And thanks for sharing. Yes this song changed my life, I listened to it on a plane from London to Tokyo (was a school trip to London) for the first time. I decided to move to the UK to study art inspired by this song and XTC, and now happily living in the UK for more than half of my life.

Awesome story, thanks for sharing 💖

I am 20 years old, I discovered xtc two years ago and it has slowly become my all-time favorite band. From White Music to Apple Venus Volume 2 their entire discography is almost perfect. Sometimes I forget that other people are aware of their existence because they’re so underrated. I am extremely grateful for every cover and tribute I find, but this one is exceptional. More attention should be given to the latter half of their music.

I couldn't agree more, and welcome to the exclusive club of people that know better :)

[@nonchai]

If only people and radio DJs (who of course - mostly just know "Nigel" and "Senses" ) were to discover the sheer breadth of XTC's back catalogue... how different things would be.

[@johnmavroudis2054]

You are one smart 20-year old!! Enjoy a long and wonderful life!!

Still loving this to bits!!! Truly truly wonderful!!! So who's still reaching an emotional high over this one year on?

[@harrisonlingren]

you're a legend for getting away with this recording lol they had venue staff forcing us to put away our phones the whole time

[@nudnick]

I really wasn't going to even attempt it, but then I noticed people around me dimming their screens and sneaking some vids and pics and that was when I decided it was important to at least try and capture this amazing moment

[@racketlauncher]

Was there...What a surprise, love this tune, as it was such a treat to hear! The whole show was amazing...Dig!

[@richardgleichmann7671]

I know that Madison has made refernce to the Venus Apple album a few times in interviews.. Was going to say that she is really into it here.. But then Jacob and Chris are too.. The only way to do an XTC song.. If you're not totally into it.., then don't even try.. Thanks for posting this.. This is awsome..🎶❣️👍

[@jimjam8949]

Oh this brought a couple of tears to my eyes. How wonderful having these legends enjoy covering the band I've enjoyed and been thrilled by since I was a 10yr old listening to my brothers Drums and Wires Casette.

[@Marsbar-00]

So happy I got to see this live, thanks so much for recording this! :)

[@scottkennedy5744]

thx for the upload, amazing!

[@davidguilfoyle]

Very impressed by this. It cannot have been easy to put this together.

[@gerardmccavana4905]

Well done. A great song. Great to see and hear it performed live

[@Captain_Klown]

I feel like we're getting really close to a Vulfpeck/Jacob Collier song!! Oh i can't freaking wait! I found Chris through the Vulpeck and now its coming back full circle.

[@nudnick]

What immediately preceded this was Chris saying something to the effect of unbeknownst to one another, they each independently wanted to cover an XTC song for this show.

[@theoldkid5725]

I will never stop missing "Live from Here"..........

[@joefiala6393]

Thanks, but this is the only song I captured from the show.

[@famousgroupies5561]

Amazing!

[@Xerion404]

how the hell did I just make a photo collage with similar colors and a nature vs human aspect then search for this song and find jacob collier with em all ❤❤

[@OG_Mereles]

Gipsy Pirate Jacob seems cozy.

[@GlennTillema]

Absolutely amazing! Am I weird for wanting to hear a banjo/bluegrass version of this song?

[@nudnick]

Not as weird as these guys doing a banjo/bluegrass version of this other XTC song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHjNmXumiLukgbc

[@costabotes9107]
