Julien Baker Performs “Appointments” | Pitchfork Music Festival 2018

Julien Baker performs “Appointments” live in Chicago for Pitchfork Music Festival 2018

[@g00dhair]

I truly love that part at the end of her performance where she's clearly mad at herself. I do that same thing. When I listen to her sing my biggest wish is that I knew her. Her music moves me

[@otto7979]

I'm not thinking she is mad at herself. I see her releasing the built emotion...like snapping a rubberband releases its potential to a resting state.

[@PyrophileGaming]

Julien saved my life when I was low... this song in particular.

[@liekeistofjes]

Yes very much so

[@9o29o2012]

We beg of you: full concert upload. It was magnificent.

[@Nalinalinali]

i also beg

[@jdean223]

I 3rd this please

[@amazd7]

I 4th this

[@sebastianbusch5013]

I’m still waiting :(

[@cbrody618]

I haven't seen emotion like that in a long time. For a second there, I thought she was going to take the mic off the stand and eat it. Powerful stuff

[@MissSunny01]

I've seen her live twice and both times she was completely amazing. She may have been reacting to issues with mixing and levels here, but it was a great performance nonetheless. It must be challenging to play live in an outdoor venue like that.

[@thechazdarby]

This woman is so amazing. I love her music so much.

[@gdn86]

I still remember seeing her cover Photobooth on AV Undercover years ago. Had forgotten about her until recently, and I'm glad to see she is getting recognition.

[@Olhado256]

The definition of singing your heart out

[@brightbluesky1548]

I didnt hear any wrong notes, honestly. Her voice is different and no note sounds wrong or off when she sings. Blessed!

[@40thCapeRifles]

She thought quick and went for the harmonic minor, essentially hitting a lower note that was the same as what she was playing on the keyboard. It was a great way to slide around the problem and shows she has excellent natural pitch.

[@amazd7]

"I have to believe" that if Julien didn't experience that frustrating moment, this song wouldn't have ended with as much POWER as it DID! #pushpast #pushharder

[@UserName-br5zu]

“Maybe it’s all gonna turn out alright, and I know that it’s not but I have to believe that it is”.

[@dracopalidine]

very few artists come close to moving me the way Julien does

[@1987Magnus]

Her authenticity is incredible.

[@saraho362]

2:30 I feel u sis

[@sebastienleroux4872]

I can't see how in the world 23 people would come here and dislike this. I mean, If you don't like Julien Baker, well, that's your choice, but why come here and dislike the video? And come on! This is one of the most talented and honest artist the modern world gave us. Seen her twice and she makes ART. If you're not moved by her performance, damn, you're dead inside...

[@silent-trouble]

i stumbled over her music yesterday. immediately made me cry... what a voice and beautiful sounds. only reservation i have so far is that most oft her songs ive listened to so far sound quite similar. but yeah, great talent.

[@otto7979]

Such clarity of truth makes us aware of its rarity.

[@neekafat]

She looks a bit peeved in this one but I was one of the camera assistants and I assure you that by the end of it all she was beaming.

[@lmll7232]

Neekafat Studios - She looks tired.

[@ernestoquintero747]

IMHO performing this song over and over takes an emotional toll, her heart is on full display. Julien's a human, there will be times her facial/body expressions are showing her state of mind, don't hold it against her, we all have our ups and downs. It could also be the toll the festival season touring is showing.

[@mavis1108]

yeah I don't think she was peeved at the sound, just seemed really emotional to me, which is understandable. love this song.

[@Linnyluvzya]

It looks to me like she was struggling with tics a lot during these performances. Makes sense... this show was a big deal

[@raycosmos]

i'm actually crying this was so so soooooooooo beautiful 🥺😭

[@wilmadikphit7997]

Such an amazingly written and performed song. She's one of the elites in her field.

[@luizvieirasouto]

I wonder what makes this young lady so magical, profound, amazing...

[@th1pool]

Girl at 2:28 is how I feel this entire song

[@Rafa92]

Beautiful!

[@pedrovargas1021]

its amazing how much she delivers on her live performances

[@andreiarca3024]

Not the song I wanted to hear, but I'm Happy to be here.

[@RaulPlo]

Beautiful Julien!!!

[@gamelanes]

love her vocals since sprained ankle

[@mahferrazffsouhomem7689]

I found this song because Chris Carrabba cover

[@artursouzadosreis8291]

Um BR esteve aqui....🇧🇷

[@chipolmstead9220]

I love you sweet Julien...

[@juhnithien]

She is amazing ♥️🇧🇷

[@KsuRebelle]

Upload the full concert pleeeeaseeeee

[@surfboy1921]

For Cameron, fuuuck yes!

[@KsuRebelle]

[@caseyjones9621]

So talented one of my favourite artists in the world

[@johnsenior478]

The absolute opposite of commercial music…soul and heart on open display and I can’t imagine that anything is more important to her than having music as a creative and emotional outlet. She’s the Neil Young/ Steve Sills of Boy Genius..

[@samstrom9632]

Transfixing and beautiful. Never heard her before, going to listen to more right now!

[@Markusewitz]

Same here :-) !

[@JGV_IX]

So so so powerful!

[@mattymaticsversion1.097]

She’s awesome and really talented. Real deal.

[@indiemixtape]

We did a deep dive into Julien's latest album 'Little Oblivions.' Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4mnq2qtac-Sj7s

[@Rabdure]

I think if I ruin this That I know I can live with it Nothing turns out like I pictured it Maybe the emptiness is just a lesson in canvases I think if I fail again That I know you're still listening Maybe it's all gonna turn out alright And I know that it's not, but I have to believe that it is I have to believe that it is I have to believe that it is (I have to believe it) I have to believe that it is (Probably not, but I have to believe that it is) And when I tell you that you that it is Oh, it's not for my benefit Maybe it's all gonna turn out alright Oh, I know that it's not, but I have to believe that it is That is so goddamned beautiful. Thank you.

[@susanzoeckler4926]

Thank you so much for the lyrics to Appointments!

[@communitybreakout6226]

This is impressive ! We are in love with your work ! 🔥🙌🏽🔥

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

What a beautiful baby!!

[@andrearomero359]

My queen wearing a terror shirt too

[@40thCapeRifles]

2:31 That lady is right in my headspace.

[@wesjohnson4637]

She's got soul, this one.

[@JohannR117]

Lol, clearly some struggles/annoyance with the venue, but amazing as always. The only one that consistently leaves me in tears, if not sobbing. Lol, a mess last time I saw her headline, hopefully I catch her again later this year in Nashville.

[@MathiasManser]

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks

[@iceberglettuce1129]

I tear up everytime I hear this song

[@erinmargarettt]

Iceberg Lettuce same

[@faigler]

I'm so mad that I didn't know her music at the time. I LIVE HERE. (I mean, Pitchfork is always a nightmare to navigate; more so than a lot of festivals here because it's a street fest not a park. But I would have been there.)

[@luizvieirasouto]

I'm staying in tonight I won't stop you from leaving I know that I'm not what you wanted, am I? Wanted someone who I used to be like Now you think I'm not trying Well, don't argue, it's not worth the effort to lie You don't want to bring it up And I already know how we look You don't have to remind me so much How I disappoint you It's just that I talked to somebody again Who knows how to help me get better Until then I should just try not to miss anymore Appointments Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh I think if I ruin this That I know I can live with it Nothing turns out like I pictured it Maybe the emptiness is just a lesson in canvases I think if I fail again That I know you're still listening Maybe it's all gonna turn out alright And I…

Such a beautiful song

[@sharkanddagger]

THAT TERROR SHIRT. Hell yeah!

Respect pour une grande Arstiste

[@HughDavison]

4:40 - looks like a soccer player that just missed a goal

[@PyrophileGaming]

Around 4:00 she went out of key... I'd understand the frustration

[@mahferrazffsouhomem7689]

@@PyrophileGaming she reminds me of Chris Carrabba of dashboard confessional

[@rodrigojorgec]

or a serial killer hahaha

[@sebastianbusch5013]

Mah Ferraz Sou Homem Meu Perfil É Cópia De Outro Chris recorded a cover of one of her songs (Sprained Ankle) you reeeeeeally should check it out

[@cole6033]

can this woman have some flaws so I'm not completely obsessed with her

[@skylarcorby5482]

raw talent

[@ebolahh_same8610]

Who is this with the amazing voice :o

[@tenrohle]

Ray Brown - hell of a drummer!

[@copper4045]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@imborntolose]

I like that shirt she's wearing

[@Kabanchik04]

She've been through it, right?

[@laceee67]

baby (:

[@robertpuffe6431]

Was she having a tough show? She sounded amazing but man she seemed disappointed how stuff went. Feel so bad for her.

[@IndieLobster]

Robert Puffe looks like she wasn’t hitting the notes quite like she wanted to (?)

[@LasseJOugaard]

Well she hit the notes alright, but a bunch of stuff went a little off kilter with mixing, loops and levels it seemed to me. Usually she nails it (watch the NPR one).

[@erinmargarettt]

Robert Puffe seemed like she hit the loop a little off and that there’s mixing issues that may have helped that along.

[@duckyboy666]

she often looks pissed/miffed while performing. I don;t know if it means anything or if it's just her natural reaction to playing/performing.

[@bouncer812]

She always looks upset. She needs a hug or something.

[@dakotasconiers4626]

Her music is what i look for in a girl... and how i feel.

[@droidtami2599]

I know what u feel

[@jamesl1247]

that guy at 2:27

[@lillibear69]

she looks so mad at herself :(((( she did amazing anyway

[@brentpalucki9613]

She keeps making better faces.

[@mahferrazffsouhomem7689]

I found her because dashboard confessional

[@sargebeats]

TERROR

[@helenafish5979]

Видно, что осталась недовольна результатом

[@SibisBlog]

que sad a la burger

[@edgepixel8467]

This is the point where believers are needlessly suffering. No, you don’t have to believe anything. No, you don’t have to force yourself to believe against all the factors pointing you the other way. You’re pissing against the wind, that’s where the suffering comes from. There is freedom beyond “God wants me to suffer because in some convoluted way that’s good for me”. Come to the light; there is no God behind your suffering. It just is. There’s no point to it; there’s no grand eternal purpose; it just is. You don’t have to identify with it; you can move and let it behind you.

[@smittywarbenyagermangensen4860]

seen her at acl. seemed real nervous, but i thought it might be part of her act to get crowd support.

[@oliverbrunncarstens4215]

she's fantastic but i think she could use some vocal training cause it looks like she's straining her voice too much when reaching the higher notes :)

[@thejuniorseas7683]

Oliver Brunn Carstens True. I believe she isn't quite using her diaphragm fully, just by looking at how she's having to shape her mouth when performing the high notes.

[@danashyaaa]

oh yeah well your mum needs vocal training.

[@Pr0x1mo]

Nah, you're just stupid

[@40thCapeRifles]

She tilts her head up to hit the high notes. It's a reflex thing. But she's said many times that she's a guitarist who sings rather than a singer who plays guitar...I think that's why she's gravitated to the position she has in boygenius.
