[@Mr.D34]

Watching this live makes you realize what a masterpiece it is.

[@maiskorn123]

wow this session is a real hidden gem

[@jsnell126]

this performance is a logistical nightmare. i cant think of any other song/band in the history of popular music with this many instrument changes during 1 song.

[@vargasavalos]

Dark Disney princess, I love you.

[@MrRabsal]

The way she plays on 2:45, nobody should be able to do that.

[@HerrKielbasa]

Annie Clark is able. Thanks God for her.

[@willowsparks4576]

OH WOW she picks by using her thumb to do upstrokes... Thats so wild ;-;

[@BubbaSpartans]

So underrated!!!!

[@TheAliif]

What an era

[@sindripindri1246]

She sounds exactly like she does on the album! She's amazing

[@harrypmay]

The drummer looks like he's having fun.

[@52barney]

he's trying to decide if she's bow-legged or not

[@eaterdrinker000]

@@52barney : Annie is reverse bow-legged, or knock-kneed, as some people call it. So am I, but you didn't need to know that.

[@AllegraG66]

3:52 pure happiness

[@emile5598]

Favourite performance ever💗💗

[@newmansown7738]

I love when 2:45 hits they all start getting it 😊

[@YodpilotID]

Good god she's so good

[@matthieushuaxings]

So so so epic

[@soaribb32]

The musicianship and the song-writting on this song are crazy good

[@verflechtung1]

I enjoy the more minimalist, "moogish" sound of her new band too, but I agree with those missing this brilliant bunch of guys. It was the sound of the various tooters, apart from Annie's guitar, that first caught my ear. .

[@TheBigBriGuy]

I am in Love with St. Vincent.. She is beautiful and just blows me away with her music. WOW!!

[@darinbauer8122]

I chased this after a completely fabulous sci doc short on galaxies! My luck!

[@youwillovercome]

2:43 Get it, Annie!!!!

[@thisaintmyrealname1]

great session

[@latemnetlom]

What is that guitar synth thing she has which ornaments her playing? You can hear it at the very end especially- it's a positively magical little effect. She's a freaking genius and that band was just spectacular too.

[@JsRf13]

it's the Eventide Harmonizer PitchFactor. it has a mode on it called 'Crystals' and that's what she uses in this + a lot of other great live songs.

[@hayseedmr3663]

it’s so cinematic

[@gillespreaubert4338]

*J'adore !

[@christophercarton6566]

Holy crap!

[@anfergoz9784]

Such beatiful.

[@MAPPER-DT.]

❤

[@Jamy820]

I would have loved to been there!

[@CBeauford]

Brilliant!

[@pnoplyr14]

The microphone on her right is run through an octave down effect.

[@zzz2497]

nememessss

[@pleasenononsense]

Holy shit

[@nicolaslang9644]

I was expecting a Pantera cover, but I'm not at all disappointed.

[@soaribb32]

Love It

[@moesgard]

Agreed...but wait til you see the new one!

[@佐藤正吾-x9n]

nice guitar work

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

Only artist I’ve ever seen use two microphones for different effects

[@chocoprrrswwwwnn]

oh god

[@pnoplyr14]

I'm tired of not being able to her anything new from her. As cool as it is to be touring with David Byrne, stop and make another album please. I know she'll never read this, but please, I need new songs.

[@josecxrnxlx]

ray manzarek on the drums?

[@ryanmaccormack8858]

Isn't that the drummer from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

[@troximetal]

The bassist reminds me of Lucifer

[@wayfaringshaman]

Woah, is that Peter Petrelli on the fiddle?

[@Optiganone]

Why she uses two microphones?

[@samuraidan44]

voist magina one has an echo to it

[@jimcaldarelli7160]

This is the st Vincent I like...not that crazy about Masseduction.

[@EatPieYes]

She could've stayed an art pop phenomenon, but she turned it around and made her thing pop art instead.

[@viachicago]

100% agree. This album was her peak.

[@エンエン-v1y]

感受到了什么吗？她本来应该有的样子和生命力。
