Kings Of Leon - Four Kicks (Live on Letterman)

[@Hunter-qv1ye]

Easily one of their best songs and most underrated

[@genapp3603]

it's not underrated this was a massive hit

[@redchilihead00]

@@genapp3603 i guess he means alot of people dont know it since there more known for sex on fire and afterwords

[@matthewbox8889]

For sure

[@Hunter-qv1ye]

@@genapp3603 definitely wouldnt call it a massive hit

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

They look so happy playing their older songs

[@Hunter-qv1ye]

The smile on Nathan’s face says it all.

[@drago6769]

the first three records are by far the best records

[@iamhereblossom1588]

I'm always surprised by how experimental "Because of the Times" was for them. I'm sad it wasn't a big hit. It could have led to them going in a really cool direction if that sound had matured.

[@DHILL82]

@@iamhereblossom1588because of the times was a massive hit for them ? I think that and only by the night took them more mainstream

[@johnred3871]

2

[@keithremedy]

@@DHILL82it was only by night. The interesting thing was I remember listening to that album for like a solid year or 2 before it blew up and there music started being broadcasted on mtv and everywhere else. That album came out in 08 but a lot of people didn’t hear use somebody or sex on fire till 2010 when it got discovered by mainstream platforms. Then When I saw them for the Come Around SUNDOWN tour the crowds were bigger and when I saw them at the Hollywood bowl in 2010 and they did Tahlina sky as the sun was setting and everybody went nuts making it clear most of the crowd there had been people that had been fans since the early days

[@keithremedy]

@@johnred3871come around sundown and mechanical bull were both good idk why some people want to act like once they left the taper Jean girl and the bucket type sound they stopped being the same band

[@9288Savior]

0:28 The crowd just can't stop moving right there, incredible display of movement

[@MysterSer333]

Its so sad who gets to have opportunities like these lol

[@DannyLeeBeasley]

Remember when Kings of Leon wrote songs that kicked ass?

[@morganghetti]

I remember. Their first 2 albums were among the best of the decade.

[@9288Savior]

Like their song Molly's Chamber for example

[@eddy4470]

Don or this one. This song's badass

[@gazerking]

Agreed bro seriously

[@Kimberly-uz8cz]

The crowd makes me want to cry.

[@stepkj]

1:18 i keep coming back to that part to see him clearly point out all the "boys from the city" 😆

[@hhannalouise]

I've listened to this track, record version, multiple times per day for the past weeks and it's so great to finally get a new live version of it! Bringing back the old tracks, wiho!

[@VirtuaSavage]

The crowd was like "This isnt sex on fire?"

[@PASTY06]

GOD I wish I was there! Would love to see this song live man

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

+Adam Cornish Same here. He, who can walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone chew gum and DRUM at the same time, is one hella fine fella ....

[@Zanders459]

+Adam Cornish its the fuckin best

[@Zanders459]

+Adam Cornish and for a chat show, they are treating this like they're playing to 40000 people

[@xsadsappysuckr6710]

I feel like 0:32 Nathan was scanning the audience to see if anyone was singing along and naturally, sheer disappointment

[@mijnheerw7253]

Epic drummer

[@novaprospects]

This is easily one of the best tunes by Kings of Leon. The moment you can see the band not only make it talentedly but also financially is at 0:28

[@seffyjanze]

they seem to have th most fun on their old songs , wich are better ofc

[@raging_dogs7165]

Thats a matter of opinion

[@xsadsappysuckr6710]

+Raging_Dogs7 Which he has a right to state.

[@czforester]

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's a matter of fact. First three albums were superior.

[@seffyjanze]

agreed

[@johnprice5302]

Cocaine my friend. All these KOL songs from this era just paint pictures of partying, touring, not sleeping, being a mess. Sick.

[@BenNBenInc]

the drummer is fucking jacked

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Ben Harrison ... yes, and the question is: On what?

[@JonathanSmith-ht2sz]

This kids vocals are second to none

[@MetalTwinSnakes]

Wow look at that energetic audience! You can tell they are loving it!!

[@amy-xl5ms]

That crowd is making me cringe. 30 seconds in, and I'm going now LOL

[@Knickerboxer]

Always a good setlist option this one!!

[@bobertzoltan]

I was at a KOL concert in 2004 in Charleston, SC in a small bar and again at a show at the Newport in Columbus, OH in 2007 that were both so ridiculously energetic / crazy awesome. What happened?

[@chumbooks2074]

They are just hard to be with an audience like they had.

[@Wiktoria-le8zl]

Caleb: "This party's overrated" Audience: ...

[@johnprice5302]

Sweet reference bro 👊

[@noelteter3398]

Good to see Nathan not looking bored behind the kit!

[@roodick85]

I still miss the old Kings with beards! Joe's Head was an awesome track as well!

[@6tyui]

I would of been pushing everybody around, this jam is too damn epic to just be standing around!!

[@roberthello3888]

Amazing!

[@bRitGirL1120]

Why is everyone just standing there. I'd be rockin' the f**k out!!! Whippin out the old school tracks!

[@cohokid6936]

Such a great song, style level 5,000 on the vocals

[@IAMNOONE1.0]

KOL CABRONES!!!! I just got say there new album was awesome!!!!

[@RSanchez111]

The good thing about the Kings of Leon is that as they get more skill and experience, their old stuff sound way better than it did when it first came out. And I bet all you "old school" posers can't name a single song on Youth and Young Manhood besides Molly's Chambers.

[@papaj1332]

I tought live will be diffrent... i was wrong :P GOOD JOB i wainting 4 concert i my Country :)

[@unavoidable11love]

VERY splendid

[@alkahinat4558]

Facts!

[@jimrage8497]

This was one of their best

[@liftwartbertl]

Nathan says something to the background musician at 1:33 - any ideas? Pointing at some hot chicks in the audience?

[@NiceGuyEddy12]

liftwartbertl he says “old” he’s referring to the crowd not knowing the song I think

Stay awesome!

[@Wiktoria-le8zl]

I wish I'll be on their concert soon.

[@djywrites]

To everyone complaining about the crowd: As it's at the Ed Sullivan, I'm pretty sure they'd have rules about people not - for lack of a better term - "moshing." Don't let it take away from the great performance.

[@pasquelsantillanrogerefrai5708]

Grandioso!

[@tmanemoguy945]

@2:03"I bet you can also make me scream like that" lol

[@rickahboy91]

best kol song

[@JuanSanchez-rg4tz]

Rolota!!

[@MJJSmoothCriminal]

nice!

[@louiseleaper7659]

Great song, btw, who is that bloke playing guitar in the background?

[@aokijannick7616]

just listened walls, then found myself watching this vid...fuck :(

[@f3rfra]

Aoki Jannick Find me.

[@ellies123]

This is played on kerrang every single day

[@DeSanKwuh]

"He's got his black belt buckle, and the red mans thunder in his eye!!"- don't see lyrics like that much anymore from them :/

[@michaelethan6545]

It's, "fire in his eye." But pretty close!

[@roodick85]

The brother hasn't changed one bit since I seen him almost 15 years ago lol

[@ryanng3470]

Who's the guy standing in the back playing the guitar?

[@IvI4rt1n14]

A background musician, he helps them do their live versions of the song be more like the studio version. He plays all the instruments you hear in the background of the studio versions.

[@TheGil1946]

my***bands******(kol****)

[@davidroberts5322]

Shame on the audience... Giving nothing back to the band... If this was anywhere in UK we'd be going fucking mental...!!!!!

[@davidtheled]

Old Tracks All

[@Rush1017]

Wtf, Nathan is smiling?

[@rebeccalockharth1842]

love the voice...and this song is sooo erotic... that goes on my channel playlists!

[@rishishoyam]

A song to rock out to, not stand guys..

[@Kevin-xz2fg]

why is no one in the audience jumping and dancing ?? haven't they heard of rock and roll ??? mutha fucka!!

[@idkiidc4992]

Man this is sad, if this were the 90s, or hell even 10 years ago, you definitely wouldn't have a big dumbfounded crowd that looks like they're waiting for imagine dragons to come on.

[@bobertzoltan]

Crowd sucks!

[@NiceGuyEddy12]

Wow I’m the last guy to say this but this just shit on the studio version. Way stronger vocals wow

[@lanjieke]

Better doesn't always mean better... Stay with me. I just think the raw and totally unrefined original utterly blows this version out of the water. Just my opinion though of course.

[@KimAudrey]

BORED crowd while i'm sitting here freaking out, how can they not even fight over the thing? uGH

[@dannyball9419]

Crowd look like Walking Dead extras

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

Danny Ball ROFL😂😂😂😂😂

[@bones2063]

Crowd is dead af :/

[@RK-qh3ll]

Def a real Jam. This could have (should have) been the resurgence of real Southern rock..gritty, rowdy & long over do. I almost feel like Kings of Leon should have been this!! Love how he lets his pipes go on the vocals. "Sex on Fire & Somebody" to me almost seems a different band.

[@plastictree257]

What a super boring crowd. The band's so great and they are just standing around.

[@kath2934]

Id be going crazy..not stood there like like a plank

[@dtihema7333]

Shit I hope that was not one of their best crowds

[@gazerking]

He should've kept his long hair smh..

[@wwfcbeatles123456789]

What a crap crowd, but a great performance

[@jamzrockyou]

That crowd is crap man!!!

[@phlex786]

apparently, they all out of song value..

[@insertgenericusernamehere2402]

It's bizarre most bands speed up when performing live. These have slowed it down. And that extra layer of guitar is so bad.... In fairness the only decent thing was the solo.

[@fowlerthescouser1197]

Shut up

[@Danowzz]

sell outs
