I wish they'd put this in the description

[@lolataylor9158]

I love that kexp interviewer! she always seems genuinely interested in the bands and what they have to offer :)

[@timpierce485]

Lola Taylor Also knows there work well

[@anni8419]

i justtt wanted to say that

[@zimzimzalabim]

Cheryl Waters is a wonderful lady and clearly loves music and what she does. She's a cancer survivor who has remained positive and interested in artists, in spite of her own struggles. Now that's someone to admire.

[@altern80]

she is amazing!

[@ranma6276]

Cheryl is the best.

[@richardmayne849]

Everyone talking about Romy and Oliver's (brilliant) voices but damn, Jamie pulling one brilliant shift on the machines here

[@LeeRichardson808]

No doubt

[@nachoarteche1357]

Jamie is God

[@mrsir6404]

It’s not even a secret, he’s the gears that make this beautiful machine move!

[@putalaweaconchatumare]

Romy and Oliver's voices complement each other so fucking perfectly!

[@tarachamberlain5418]

[@worldshaper1723]

[@ajdent8725]

[@giovannapimenteloliveirasi6408]

[@fabersoul_beats]

man that guys voice...incredible

[@tomhatcher8309]

2:05

[@strychnyne3530]

Fabersoul but she can't sing or play guitar. thank god for autotune...

[@tomhatcher8309]

that ain't autotune. but I really do think Jamie XX is their saving grace.

[@khrystoelsoury]

search on youtube for xx , any live acoustic session if you want to know if its autotune or not. Spoiler: its not!

[@matthewtelliard1283]

just for the record its hard to hear your own voice with thick ass headphones like that on

[@farzshmarz]

Can't believe it takes only these 3 to make such beautiful music.

[@MagicSwagget12]

I love that Romy got more confident, good for her

[@melancholy224]

Romy is so adorable

[@techtipsuk]

KEXP I fucking love this channel. Spend half my days listening. Every band is decent, proper top drawer audio quality too.

[@matteventu]

I swear the audio quality for their live exhibitions is outstanding, there's no other channel that hosts bands and uploads videos with such a high sound recording quality.

[@timmgrube3989]

i could die happily if i ever heard an audiobook read by oliver si :-)

[@melanieborge]

Agreed. What a voice.

[@paulowpr]

alt j??

[@paulinajimenezyanez5020]

so cool!! me too!

[@relativedegree1267]

By Romy!!

[@tarachamberlain5418]

LMAO SAMEE

[@MacClearly]

I can't explain the warm feeling that this band causes to flow through me hearing and seeing them.

[@olafly1]

The XX is like a bubble bath for ears and deep meditation for the mind. All their music is amazing.

[@turtledeity9920]

Her hair looks so good like that

[@TheRIbaneza]

+Mario's Corner Yeah, I guess your face is perfect, that's why your avatar is a plant

[@bearsetsfire1361]

Cheryl is always excited; and I believe her.

[@crystalmarquezmusic]

when oliver made eye to eye, face to face contact with you at the concert because he knew you were sad/crying and slowly smiled at you and waved till you smiled back and waved... such a gentle soul

[@skyeldridge9018]

Romy played some solos in front of me because she had seen me over reacting to there walkout at the start of the show

[@martinmcelroy8249]

W As a guitar and bass player with 46 years of experience.....I have to say that the guy behind is amazing, he provides all the beats and ambiance . I do love this band.

[@PaoCalderon]

one of my favorite bands of all time ! the voice and the guitars ... wow !

[@candelav6663]

romy's voice is so calm and sweet she's such a beautiful angel

[@lukeychandler]

The xx are such a well performing live band

[@Jannick636]

Mesmerizing

[@mikeboldtphoto]

Favorite live performance to date and I've seen a ton of amazing acts.

[@laurentvisciglia3871]

not like a lot of crappy bands of now who give shit to people!!!lol

[@DeVaughnTaylor]

Just saying I hope everybody is listening with good headphones or a speakers, don't wanna miss Oliver's sweet bass jams

[@hellokitty44life]

Romy's voice is so soothing💖

[@irenesalvador1087]

Ever since I heard this record I fell in love with it, but after seing them live a couple of months ago I fell completely in love with them as artists. I think the way they connect with the audience is so unique. I can already tell I will forever be a fan because I'm so interested in them as people, not just as a band.

[@beetroot48]

Such great music and wonderful people.

[@Gustavo-ks6et]

it would be so awesome if they have sung replica

[@MT-eb2dx]

the voices .. amazing.. but dont forget the incredible DJ... just wow!

[@Haeze]

I am absolutely in love with Romy, and Oliver's voice is about the sexiest there is. Then you have Jamie making amazing mixes to make them both sound their best. Love it !

[@Mistysmudge1]

I love their voices she sounds like an angel and his voice so deep perfect combination 💖💖

[@Robert-dl6fq]

sometimes i come to this video just to hear him say thank you for having us back

[@ayvenmoon]

KEPX sound quality is GOALS!

[@brilliantroads]

That intro of 'Say Something Loving' wish they included that on the album. Just that tiny bit of extra makes the song so much nicer

[@MrBridgemania]

Alessi Brothers

[@hatibmuhamad585]

I'm obsessed with the XX 😂😭😭😭

[@salmanansari6056]

[@nafeilawaili6573]

Beautiful record, beautiful vocals, a true piece of artwork.

[@metallicamadsam]

cheryl, we love you

[@wilkaferreiralima6605]

their voices are perfect and I love how they intertwine

[@SPASPAWIZ]

R I serious??? I think they are off pitch and the dissonance drives me insane. It’s a shame though cause I see what they’re getting at and it’s nice

[@derandere2656]

everytime i hear this music i think of this girl. we really never knew each other and i even said some stupid things about her. but after all these years, i still reach for her. stefanie. i will never forget her.

[@vixeninred]

Ohhh, how wonderful are The xx!! They sounds exactly the same as the album, live !! Love them !

[@vr4ever645]

Thr Host Cheryl is doing such a great job!❤️

[@qarcon3247]

I adore the interviewer shes very motherly

[@paulinajimenezyanez5020]

OMG! gorgeous! Love this band!!!

[@veridicca]

Romy and Oliver's voices >>>>> They are amazing ( i love Jamie too)

[@sofartime950]

yup

[@liligman]

I've only been listening to them for like 2 days and I'm already addicted. There is something so fresh to their sound! I missed them here in Seattle, but I'll be something in Austin city limits. They are great.

[@homeromaldonado1938]

liligman same here I'll be there weekend 2 to enjoy ACL 👌🏼

[@erickbrandongarciajimenez687]

Years past and I still love you guys, ever since I discovered Intro at 17 yo, you sounded so special and this music that is not so new anymore but so essential to your sound, pure honesty, thank you. You guys make me feel so special about life

[@inorite4553]

Oh god this brings back memories. I was in Seattle back in 2010ish and remember listening to you guys on the radio from my hotel and discovering the XX for the first time. I'm from Chicago but dang! Seattle has an amazing music scene!

[@krasky]

I like the fact, that they also took shots not only of the singers but also of Jamie. Great camera work!

[@lequinntessential]

Like 'islands', 'say something loving' is such a cerebral masterpiece

[@user-friendly-kind]

Super!

[@pcigroot]

This kind of combo of vocals in one band is insane. Nothing like this exists.

[@marijaynepowers5757]

I could listen to Oliver talk all day

[@aarongonzales964]

Amazing work. Everything from the visuals, to the interviewer and of coarse from xx.

[@brendandowling7512]

Yes Cheryl waters is fantastic

[@princessdaisy7193]

They will always be so amazing. Such beautiful music and unique voices

[@liligman]

20:00 A nice moment, Romy laughs at Jamie for messing up the first chord 😂

[@turbofish95]

'I don't blame you' hahaha

[@sofiaipinho]

They are a gift to the world. Glad to have the pleasure to be alive while they are too.

[@danielpoole8187]

this album sorely needed in this time in music! great performance.

[@Reprodestruxion]

I saw them when they just started out in Philadelphia at a small club. I was with my ex wife, who was my fiancé at the time. They had just become a 3 piece and I had just heard VCR to check them out before seeing them live. Jamie just had his mpc to fingerdrum on at the time, on a table with a black flag with an X marked in white.

[@ultikintil]

KEXP hosts are just so nice. Love them

[@annotation.]

The "I Dare You" video came up randomly on yt, and then searching for a live set of that song I came by this full performance. Love it. ❤

[@mjschlosser]

Love this band and what an excellent host!!! Such an enjoyable video all around.

[@tangi2538]

amazing intro. this song gives me good feelings.

[@deadstump4970]

The opening harmony. It is just so satisfying.

[@zhanark5341]

[@hartmutplagens1925]

So in love with this band!

[@renatolopezdiaz3852]

AMAZING!!!

[@eliseumds]

Wow, I had KZbin on autoplay in the background and this video immediately caught my attention when it started. Amazing work.

[@0dious]

I'm pretty sure a single human soul will not buy you a voice like that.

[@Reprodestruxion]

Tomasz Matuszczyk being from Sommerset helps

[@dankmheems290]

I'd get laid so much if I had that voice lol.

[@kkespadaz6066]

I would literally pay to see them play Sunset or Together again! miss those songs so much! my two favs :(

[@DaIndieGodFather]

KK Espadaz. that is called a concert. to pay to hear a band play...

[@kkespadaz6066]

The thing is, they don't play those songs anymore. Sit down Godfather!

[@keniavazquez9071]

It is such a crazy feeling to read these comments and see how postive they are and to see that people actually know their names... Never would i have thought (always dreamed) that they would come this far due to how society is. I LOVE how far they've come. HECK I HAVE A FREAKING XX TATTOO ON ME. goodness. I am so happy. This interview/performance one for the books

[@SR-rd3fw]

Just love to hear “I dare you” over and over again.

[@SamuelDiaz-br7vp]

this is one of those band that it doesnt matter where theyre playing they always sound the same and i found that awesome love these guys

[@javiercaicedo6912]

"Thank you f'having us back"... that voice melts!

[@LeslieCelis]

these two voices together... oh my!

[@Jimmy-rg1kv]

I love The XX

[@dogfather68]

This is great, reminds me of the underground college radio station late at night.

[@paulroberts3686]

The xx just have the gift of making great music together. Amazing

[@bogdanmaksimovic5214]

Epic...that first track opening. The XX are blooming
