[HD] Cage The Elephant - "Come A Little Closer" 10/11/13 David Letterman

[@under88Me]

holy shit they were so shy at the end of the performance and it's evident that they felt very uncomfortable in such a fancy show... I love this humble, introverted, anti-superstar attitude

[@charlielucas3265]

+under88Me there was an interview where the interviewer brought up this performance, and Matt said that at the end when the presenter came on shouting, he didn't know if they were being told off or something!! He thought they'd done something wrong and he was really confused! bless him, I love this band. They're brilliant.

[@justfetus]

word, I looked up this video after reading about an "infamous" Letterman reaction and knew what to expect but I could tell how Letterman's first few sentences could have been misinterpreted. I was expecting him to be like WOW AMAZINNGG but instead he starts off with "Come onnnn come onnn, I don't know....." in this sarcastic tone.

[@Whitexican1301]

They've been on Letterman a few times before.

[@jesseharradine9861]

Are you guys fucking slow? It was david letterman , it’s like being blessed by the pope. Do your homework Guaranteed they left giddy and super stoked God damn lol

[@bookstore097]

you know letterman loves it when he can't find words to say after the band plays Long Live Cage the Elephant #LLCTE

[@phillipschlegel9590]

I'm 65 years old and these guys are my favorite band right now 2022

[@Saden50]

I half expected Matt to try crowd surfing

[@ricardogigante881]

that would be epic :)

[@parr40]

These guys can fucking play!!! Love this band!!

[@apinkham77]

a grown up song from a young band. Stellah.

[@matthew3140able]

i don't think he meant to snub the bass player,he was just beside himself with joy,higher compliment than handshake to me.

[@AtopTheHouse]

fuck i love cage the elephant. They haven't dissapointed for years.

[@kaylubproductions4517]

It's amazing to see bands that are just as good live as they are in the studio!

[@VladAvina]

LOL @ the bassist that tried getting a hand shale but got rejected lol poor dude, its always the bassist

[@Enekobus]

Aw I had to look again, poor dude LOL. But David's reaction is priceless!

[@ACH1EVE_CH1M]

I've listened to these guys my whole life and just found out they're from the town I live in.

[@amandagurmandothe2788]

luckyy

[@Wisconsin222]

"Let's go get in fights or something!!" Love Matt Schultz reaction to that

[@tylergrask2318]

Great drumming on a great looking drumset!

[@sliceyourdice7680]

Say what you will about Letterman, but he has great goddamn taste in music.

[@Yyyyyyyyyyyy86]

You think he picks who goes on his show?

[@juki1x]

Amen!!! Letterman is always on point!!! when he goes to talk to the bands after they're done, you can tell the ones he likes and they are always the best bands...whether he books them or not, to me it is irrelevant, it is his reaction that gives his seal of approval

[@Swonke]

Seriously I hardly ever watched his show but i constantly find myself finding my favorite artists as guests on his show.

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

Lol he doesn't decide who comes on the show

[@Encenoa]

+Albin Lundholm He had the ability to veto bands.

[@h.j.w2783]

4:22 awkward moment when the bassist got ignored. lmao

[@aperezto]

+Dr. H so awkward!

[@southern.axolotls6144]

lmao

[@jekomega]

Es una lastima ese gesto de letterman, ignorar al bajista

[@inukshukentertainment6643]

LOL, he tried to act like he was doing something else after he looked.

[@samuelmorse784]

Not awkward Letterman is the man and zero fucks will be given.

[@charlielucas3265]

Matt's clapping at 4:30 is the cutest thing!!

[@Lighteye67]

CTE has a tight rhythm section...the bass and drums are always on point.

[@rafaelmarreiros8833]

Os vi no Lollapalooza, pela TV mesmo, tive quase uma epifania. Sintético e genial. He he he.

[@van6969]

Paul Shaffer rocking out on the side is awesome!

[@dylancolt6665]

Let's go get into some fights or somethin'. Classic Letterman

[@1q2w3e4r5t6y7u8i9ify]

Great performance

[@roderickmacdonald8099]

How could he not love this band

[@danielsaround5720]

They honestly got really better, they always been really good but now he sing even better

[@feu604]

adoro o jeito que ele dança !

[@mando8222]

Their best song ever!!!💥👏👌👍🏼🕺🏽

[@Andrew19991000]

bass player got left hanging

[@DPK99ATown]

😂 he did the old “fuck, just kidding I’m just gonna turn this into a wave now” haha

[@phillipschlegel9590]

How can you not love the bass player all you musicians take heed

[@GJorge1777]

Amazing :)

[@giorgiorizzi1743]

Sono speciali: troppo bravi!

[@Trazorr]

A very good and inspiring band. 1-4-15

[@allanmojica6455]

4:23 LOL

[@AGarotadoBlogBR]

Situação embaraçosa quando se estende a mão para cumprimentar alguém, e a pessoa não percebe...Então o jeito é fingir que nada aconteceu !

[@retingsteven]

Letterman should have extended his hand to Lincoln Parrish!

[@digicloud.0ne]

beaut

[@victoriaknight8142]

what's the guy in red pants doing tho

[@bagellover1203]

Victoria Knight that guitar strap

[@glenj2557]

[@Wisconsin222]

They are kind of rocking the Strokes image here aren't they

[@stevenlangton3276]

I like

[@samuelmorse784]

Poor man's strokes, that's for sure.

[@Kaerikillington]

@@samuelmorse784 strokes aren't that great lmao

[@samuelmorse784]

@@Kaerikillington This band is a joke compared to the Strokes or Interpol.

[@samuelmorse784]

@John Salonga Cage is not even in the same stratosphere as the Strokes. They are a gimmicky band with a whiny singer for emojified boys that struggle to get laid. The Strokes are one of the top ten rock artists that defined that particular decade along with a few others like White Stripes, Queens of the Stone Age, Interpol etc. Cage Elephant are a blip on the radar and easily forgotten.

[@joshjackson9199]

If you like Cage The Elephant, check out Joe Jenneman!

[@jackwaters4588]

Do you understand the things that you been seeing?

[@pippincovington1348]

That keyboardist's backing vocals annoys me. Just let Matt do his thing, he's not really one for harmonizing and hitting a lot of notes anyways. Besides that, awesome performance. Can't wait to see them live!

[@jomarch1706]

I really detect a pixies influence on these guys.

[@TrojansOwl1]

Pixies via Nirvana

[@Talpiot8200]

guitarist to the right is on molly.....

[@therockiesfan3]

no he aint. He's always done that haha

[@ownage3523]

therockiesfan3 He's always on molly.

Live happily ever after allen jackson hewitt serve dinner at butfule

[@vintagevibe270]

;)

[@nutritionfacts5095]

The rhythm guitarist thinks he's playing warped tour 😭😭

[@NyqWill95]

Dan got rejected lol

[@DonCheto323]

Drake Bell

[@WhoIsKeagan]

I'm not saying this to be rude or anything, its just an observation but the rhythm guitar guy in the centre legit looks like there is something wrong with him.

[@utenteindefinito4655]

Yep i'm the numb.1 fan of this band but seriously the singer and the main guitar seems autistic

[@tracey7209]

Lol it's just the way they rock out. Lots of artists look weird while they're performing. Actually some of the best look weird & awkward.

[@utenteindefinito4655]

Well, dunno, if u dig in this band's history u can see that Matt ( Singer ) And his brother Bratt ( Main Guitar ) had sooo many drug problem..

[@raptorjesui]

ricky casanova Exactly, they put it all into the song and show, their voices sing it but their minds and their whole bodies carry the show into what you see before you. If they look fucked the hell up while doing it, so be it, the song is what it's all about to them.

[@RestfulSilent]

That's the lead guitarist not rhythm, and he is just rocking out.

[@sohaibamjad4523]

rick and morty season 4

[@kysike666]

fucking amazingly shocking!!
