Mac DeMarco At The 2017 Boston Calling Music Festival (Full Set)

May 26, 2017 - Without a doubt, one of the most memorable performances from Boston Calling 2017. In Mac’s words, “this set was a real shit-banger”. Mac’s guitar pedal wasn’t working, his acoustic guitar was broken, the bass reverberations from Migos made his insides rumble, but despite all that - it was an unforgettable hour of music, crowd surfing, beverage consumption and a very special prom dance.

[@spacecadet3482]

Who's to judge?

[@walterwalterson3982]

I'm so thankful for Mac. Seriously. His music has helped me look on the brighter side of things. He's taught me not to take life so seriously and to be comfortable in my own skin. Thanks so much for the awesome performance Mac! Hope I can be one of the people having a great time at your concerts someday.

[@haroldmercadovillarroel2916]

Most relatable comment about mac

Truly inspirational words from Bruce Butthole himself. Thanks BB

[@irlancruz7973]

I feel the same!

[@7Papi_chulo7]

Honestly tho. I've been struggling in life recently but his music has helped me through it. His music is so laid back yet upbeat at the same time. Simple yet complex and unique. Learning his music on guitar/bass also lets me appreciate his music so nuch more.

[@zachdacosta]

I was at this show, and I will never forget how hysterical it was when at 40:54 Mac asks someone in the crowd for a lighter and was then pelted by hundreds of lighters and objects throughout "One More Love Song": Awesome show haha.

[@cemreuslu2580]

Same here.. That was amazing and I think that show was the best show I've ever seen. I laughed so hard when his string broke and they started playing making my way downtown. He is such an amazing artist.

[@SuperCullen69]

He just realized he never has to pay for a lighter again

[@monkeyandcuckoo]

ahaha amazing, such a great performer: fans on stage, fans for crowd surfing, asking for lighter, crowd surfing himself and so on, not to mention that sexy shaking at the very end...a true genius and artist, the one that really enjoys playng and being on stage and have fun with it! ahaha love him so much

Anyone noticed how pissed Mac got at the security guard when he tried to get the prom dude off the stage? The unconditional love for fans is real

[@Dylan-cj4hh]

well they get fired for not doing what they did so yeah

[@themodernfaces21]

That security guard was the one who told me not to hop on the front of the stage and that I should go around back instead, dude was a dick

[@shadygroves8252]

also saw that, Mac is the nicest

[@asims2megafan]

i thought he was yelling at the fan lmao

mac is so chill haha love the bass player, he looks like something straight out of a gorillaz vid, so far away ahaha

[@UncleMack211]

I can't believe they cut out Andy's version of "Making my way down town" while Mac was fixing his broken string. That was one of the highlights of the show! All in all, a great show.

[@aptmix]

Agreed, I was losing my mind at how funny / entertaining that was

[@UncleMack211]
