Hallelujah to have this entire performance in one upload. Thanks!

[@TechnicJunglist]

Poison Oak always breaks me down in the most beautiful way. Lived it; i wouldn't wish it on anyone.

You're doing the lord's work 6 years later. Can't believe I found this now!

Omg yessss thank you for this!!!

Thank you so much for posting this!!!!!

[@mbire831]

Thank you pashpotter for uploading.

[@idkbroidkasdf]

holy moly this exists

[@mikewifak]

It’s crazy that two legends collided here and basically nobody seems to give a shit. Please listen to the Felice Brothers. It’s a goldmine of brilliant songwriting.

[@matthewdemayo9067]

Preach.

[@matthewdemayo9067]

I was looking at the latest felice brothers video and I couldn’t believe it was only 6000 views. I figure there’s only a few literate American musicians songwriters left. Conor and Felice being two. In a world that communicates primarily through emojis I suppose it makes sense. A bit depressing. But I mean. There’s at least two of us :)

[@FMBlanket]

Great post Four Winds with The Felice bros is great. I remember when that album and the Felice bros 1st album dropped. I saw Bright Eyes play in support of Cassadaga and met Conor. Then saw and met the Felice bros near their hometown during tour for 1st album. They were all very approachable. Good memories and inspiring music.

[@mrwednesdaythursday]

In the 2nd song “Too Late To Fixate” he sings “And I love her torn stockings And her lipstick of red Is it too late to fixate On her instead” Those lyrics seem to go well with his red lipstick!!

[@gustercc]

I was wondering if he put it on too heavy this particular night. Ha!

[@jomascarbProc]

@@gustercc the way it's put on seems like it was not and he was just kissing some mad lips right before the presentation

[@sammi01010]

idk how i never seen this. every single second is gold

[@frankbooth5490]

Nice, I was afraid to put the whole concert up!

[@nerolilaine9973]

Omg thank you

[@notcosmiccam9327]

Yo my boy Connor seems fvcked up in this joint.

[@katotornado4312]

lol he been up for a few days I think 😂

[@hannahb9873]

It's kind of his thing

[@gripntie5589]

Lotta gold prospectors in that audience..

[@knightscroftsquire-muldoon]

Lotta good people as well!

[@compliantart7808]

Wisdom is better than gold, true prospectors

[@hannahb9873]

I was just thinking the same... in one way or another 😂

[@Hustlesouls]

phoebe cameo ❤

[@TheKrickReport]

At least we know where the lipstick came from 👄 😂

[@tylerlawson5923]

I live crazy close to this to have had zero idea I could have gotten tickets.

[@knightscroftsquire-muldoon]

For real, I would have as well. Saw them back in 2010 at the Ryman, it was spectacular and moving.

[@rowenamielock3591]

I've seen Connor perform live twice and to be honest I think he just hates the stage. He thrived in the early 200o's shrouded by the cloak of CD's and small midwest house shows, but as he got bigger, big groups just stresses him out I think. He also never ever talks to his audience...like he's almost scared of us. Still one of the all time best lyricists to ever exist tho! WE love you Connor.

[@ran_d_d]

First time in a while in DC and Baltimore like a year + ago he seemed pretty happy. Talked a bit. Jumped off the stage and sang to a bunch of people in the front.. I’ve only ever been close to him a couple times before they went on.. and I didn’t even try to talk to him because I can tell he waits in the bus until right when he’s going on stage then walks in there real quick. If there’s any kinda show I think he dislikes the most these days it’s festivals or outdoor shows.

[@shelliewass942]

He talks a lot once he’s a little drunk 😂

[@mrwednesdaythursday]

I’ve seen Conor more than 50 times since 1999. To say he doesn’t talk to the audience is an outright lie, or maybe mistake to be more accurate. Never, not even once has he not talked to an audience. Yes he becomes more talkative the more he drinks. He also may be more talkative from one show to the next, but he talks as much as any other band I’ve seen.

[@chrimbus3442]

I think thats why hes an alcoholic. Ive had my struggles with alcohol too and it sucks because it makes me so much more of a fun person to be around, but it's also gotta dark side that creeps up on you slowly but surely.

[@nickwallace6648]

I’ve seen desapercidos, bright eyes monsters of folk, Conor solo I have no idea what you’re talking about

[@benjaminwilliams.]

When was this ??

[@Sheriff_Ochs]

Had to have been around 2016 or so, maybeee 2017. I say this because I love the band that's backing Conor up, The Felice Brothers, and their lineup changed a lot in 2016 or so, both their bass player and fiddle player left the band to pursue their own things.

[@RealJPMcGrath]

God this rivals the band

[@redrover3259]

Damn! Go James!!!

[@BannedHistory]

Can someone please explain the lipstick?

[@JaymePaladino]

He's drinking fruit punch?

[@rickfranklin1471]

makes him feel pretty?

[@mrwednesdaythursday]

In the second song, “Too Late To Fixate” he sings the lyrics “And I love her torn stockings And her lipstick of red Is it too late to fixate On her instead” I thought they went well with his lipstick??

[@JaymePaladino]

@@mrwednesdaythursday yeah you nailed it. Hope he left the stockings at home. 💅

[@charlesdesphone2795]

robert smith

[@eduardocubero5903]

INCREIBLEEEEEE

[@lightstays]

By far the audience most unfamiliar with his work I've ever seen. Did they win these tickets in a sweepstakes and get bussed in?

[@TheKrickReport]

Not the crowd I’d choose to sing about burning Bibles in front of 🔥 📕 😂💪 Connor is the man!

[@TheCheesecakedeath]

​​@@TheKrickReporthoney that man is wearing lipstick 😮😭🤣

[@TheKrickReport]

@@TheCheesecakedeath only because he was making out w the hottie in the front row!

[@mygreenenvy]

I can swear that I heard some laughter in the audience when Conor said this next song is about my gay cousin that committed suicide when he was 23

[@StrawberryJesuss]

@@mygreenenvy there was.

[@angelasalesen8693]

My heart ache is obsessive, I wish I could let it go!! 💥💥🙌🏽

How does this get better?

Ladies and gentlemen this is what being drunk and high on coke looks like but that’s why Conor is god perfect performance!

Poison Oak hits even harder in this performance. Jesus christ

WHAT HAPPENED TO CONORS LIP??

[@chrimbus3442]

is that phoebe bridgers in the audcience? @4:24

[@hummushero9428]

Sure was!

[@runwriterundev]

No one is going to mention Phoebe in the audience?

[@hannahb9873]

THANK YOU

[@-L.B]

The fiddle in the beginning (4 winds) sounds like Santa’s Coming To Town

[@darrenwoolston7126]

Yo this is cool! Also, Is connor wearing a lipstick? it really brings out his eyes.

[@VanessaOchoa-bs8dl]

I fkn luv you ❤

[@damiana_9]

@14:15 I feel like this song also makes sense..Neil Young cov ering Phil Ochs, "changes". Conor is a better lyricist, but this song is on par: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWrKqnukjMqamJY

This would have been awesome!

[@markbrabant5468]

My god. Poison Oak

[@dshrute6622]

Love that Phoebe Bridgers is in the audience @ 5:15

[@laceymarcucci8990]

Lipstick?

[@user-zu7fu6ky9k]

Does it seem like half the people here don't even know who he is?

[@hypostatics9475]

Conor's not doing so great these days. Watching this is a mix of aesthetic glee for the all of the freedom and cathartic glee of the songs and performances but also...this is him while "functioning" . . . there's no hiding his condition here. Inshallah he defeats the Disease of the Will . . . many have, it's not a dream.

[@ribtickle4143]

Yeah, I won't be surprised to hear the news that he's died in the next few years

[@Dd94949]

Hard to tell what this audience is feeling...nothing or everything? Overall they look confused and disappointed...exactly what conor likes 🙂

[@kevincorcoran5610]

I'm so confused. Lipstick? And is he high? I saw him in 2007 or 8 and he was totally gone at that show. Great show, though. But, I thought that he was past all of that. He's not looking too good here.......

[@stylehabits]

So no The Cure, eat a whole bag

[@scrappy291]

Hahaha all the white-haired elderly people In the audience did not know what they were in for.

[@remyremy6808]

I think the violinist at the beginning is pretty heavy handed & not listening too well.

[@laurenanderson7823]

so, when was this originally filmed? and, why all the amplification in a cave? is that necessary? and, aren't they afraid that the rocks will come down b/c of all the reverberations?

[@Bouboulovplaying]

March 25, 2017, according to google

[@zack1138]

Because it’s a cool venue and no, they’re not worried about the rocks falling down

[@crazylikeafox7341]

is he part goat? what is he on? i don't get it.

[@thesuncouldnotsaveus]

Was this before he was diagnosed with brain cancer?

[@mrshou112]

He never had brain cancer lmao He had an blood clot in his brain

[@mygreenenvy]

@@mrshou112 I thought what I heard was that it was a cyst ?

[@nolanwolfe]

@@mygreenenvyin his song “counting sheep” he mentions a cyst on the brain. I also thought it was a cyst

[@shadygrove720]

I hate seeing him in this condition

[@caulds989]

The fiddle player must not have known the song before this performance and was given 10 min to listen to it and learn his part

[@StrawberryJesuss]

The guts to play a punk show in front of a bunch of white southerners expecting bluegrass. And yes, you can tell me that they bought the ticket and ought to have known, but that's not how humans work most of the time-

[@mbire831]

last sentence would make a great song lyric.

[@StrawberryJesuss]

Starting from "And yes," or?

[@otiesdriftwood]

Sounds awful lol ive been in worse bands tho
