I would have SO loved another rendition of Die Young in here too. But it was all amazing anyway.

[@singingzoo]

@@FrancisBarton Have you seen this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hae6Y5RtosiJfZI

[@FrancisBarton]

@@singingzoo yeah I have - but thank you! I love every second of it. Would have been interested in how this slightly different band make-up and the energy on that day would have interpreted it. But it's an older song, and they were focusing more on the newer albums I know.

[@juliecotton7806]

I'm still here for this. Every time I have a new favorite thing - the way the drummers find the off-beat rhythms together, the solos and the harmonies, the way some songs breath and others maximize and fill every space. The dancing, the tears, the silk suits and the bare feet. Thank you all for each note, it still carries me.

[@marksopinionservice]

me too! I play this through while I work over and over - it has a happy vibe, and the quality of every moment is brilliant. Still finding magical and new gems like the increasing pressure on the percussion at 23:53 - it's always something.

[@cellofeldy]

This video is my Roman Empire

[@cellofeldy]

Meg Duffy is nothing short of divine perfection. That Rewind solo is out of this world.

[@cathenning1270]

the Mountain Man synergy is truly UNBEATABLE

[@janetsummers7988]

this is a FACT

[@leavesinyourchipotle]

I had to blink twice! I am so friggen happy they are all singing together again on this.

[@fomh]

This video has seemingly followed me around KZbin for months. I've regularly seen it in my suggestions but had no idea who Sylvan Esso was so I never clicked it. A couple weeks ago I rediscovered the band Wye Oak, which led me to the band Flock of Dimes with Jenn Wasner from Wye Oak, which led me to the band Mountain Man with Molly, Amelia, and Alexandra who sing with Flock of Dimes, which led me to a Tiny Desk concert with Sylvan Esso, which made this video pop up in my suggestions once again. Sorry KZbin, next time i'll just trust you.

[@FrancisBarton]

That drummer is a beast though!

[@daanimus]

When one of the first people you see is Jenn Wasner, you know things are going to be top shelf.

[@FrancisBarton_87]

This. She has talent in every cell, unbelievable. They all do.

[@jahazbrooga309]

I remember when Adam Duritz said "We feel like we really know how to play our songs now" about Counting Crows. This little live concert makes me think of this. Sylvan Esso have always been a favourite of mine but WOW! This demonstrates how a band can completely understand each other's moves and produce some of the best music, techically and emotionally, I've ever heard.

[@adamwendt8972]

It’s like watching a delicate spiderweb being constructed. All these elegant little strands being weaved together to make something strong and beautiful. So inspiring.

[@Later_Nerd]

So eloquently put. Couldn't agree more. Beauty takes on a lot of shapes. But this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed.

[@RuggedIrish]

THIS 100! I keep watching and 5-second backing to soak in the synthesis of everyone's unique contributions.

[@marksopinionservice]

in the level of collective musicianship, song crafting and sound engineering, this reminds me of the Silkroad Ensemble. wonderful, over and over and over again.

[@kbh590]

Sylvan Esso is like an old friend, that always makes you smile, even those days when you don't want to get out of bed. I fucking LOVE you!♥

[@dibbanugroho3048]

Sylvan Esso could make robot shed tears anyday.

[@jameskimble480]

Mind officially blown.

After every song I scroll down to click like then remember it's still the same video that I already liked.

[@KW-kr9gh]

With Love and so much Gratitude to Nick, Amelia and every member of the band, sound, and film crew and anyone else who made this gift possible. This pandemic has been so depressing with the loss of concerts for us music lovers, but Sylvan Esso has been so caring and full of life and sharing their amazing friends’ musical talents is such a gift! I’m in tears...this was so much fun. I felt every bit of it. I could feel the love and admiration you had for each other. So lovely to see! 👍❤️

[@bubu_massa]

I feel the same!

[@CrazyCloudZen]

This is what total commitment sounds like.

[@omnicell5096]

The last few seconds of the last song, you can see Jenn on the piano, and the tears leaking through. Beautifully emotional performance. Brilliant.

[@trialsanderrors2707]

The last time I saw Amelia, Nick, and Jenn in a room together was when Sylvan Esso was opening for Wye Oak. This is like an arboreal class reunion.

[@Zeokoz]

yes this lineup is insane! Meg Duffy, Jenn, plus the Mountain Man crew!! This is going to be on repeat all weekend!

[@CJEnright_Music]

sylvan esso with the Mountain Man gang backing, YES PLEASE

Whoa. By accident put Ferris wheel on .75 speed and not mad at at lol. I’ve watched this 7 times already. Please don’t stop.

[@user-fi6lz3dd4z]

I have been watching this at least twice a month, since its inception. I hope, artistically (in the future) you return to a format like this. Love Sylvan Esso... Just a fan sayung more fan stuff, i guess. Peace

[@brucec4888]

I'd love to be sitting in the middle of them all playing here, truly amazing. The first song I ever heard was Coffee and everything since has been a magical journey... Thank you, I hope to hear your music for many years to come.. can't wait for what you do next 🙏😊

[@DiyEcoProjects]

Hi Sylvan Esso ~ i used to work for the military and have PTSD. I just wanted to thank you for having such lovely songs. Its helped me cry and release some stuff... Your songs have given me great comfort thank you. Have a good year ahead, all the best, Kieron UK. ~ ~ ~ much love

[@adamminer5747]

Jen Wasner on bass with the Mountain man crew! Molly's last record is one of my all time favorites. Wye Oak is another favorite band of mine, This is just beyond amazing!

[@TaylorMadejdm1975]

Talk about getting sunken in and subversive; they're ALL so focused and in tune with each other it's on another level! 🍺

[@bbyang22]

You know the feeling when you climb atop a mountain on a grey day and see a ray of sunlight piercing through the clouds lighting up a patch of the valley in front? That s how their music makes me feel

[@PatrickSingsASong]

The guitar solo in the second last song makes me cry evertime. I never cry. Thank you.

[@frauneupo]

They look like how I feel when I listen to their music. Makes me feel so connected to them and the music.

[@sculpture.n]

nicely put -me too!

[@andrewgalloway7344]

LOVE the 'Poland' synth ... !!!!

[@Deferret]

I don’t know why this popped up on my feed. I wasn’t aware of any of these people before this. But the thumbnail intrigued me, i wanted to know what music would make someone look like that. What an extraordinary performance from a gifted group of musicians. I couldn’t stop watching and have now clocked up six full views so far. And by virtue of all the people involved I’m now going down lots of branching rabbit holes discovering new stuff. As an aside, and I feel bad singling out one person amongst so many incredible performances but Meg Duffy’s guitar playing in Rewind is sublime - it made the hairs goes on up on the back of my neck. I genuinely don’t think i could be without this now, thank you.

[@richardhall5489]

I love when that happens. If you haven't already seen it then check out the NPR Tiny Desk concert.

[@Deferret]

@@richardhall5489 Thanks for the heads-up. I watched and loved both of their Tiny Desk Concerts. And then I watched their NPR live concert as well. There’s always further to go down the rabbit hole right?

[@FrancisBarton]

@@Deferret Don't forget to check out Mountain Man (start with their Tiny Desk concert?) and Jenn Wasner's solo project Flock of Dimes as well as Wye Oak.

[@FrancisBarton]

I also keep coming back and re-watching the whole thing. It's a phenomenal moment from a really special group of people.

[@95poopypants]

Dude, I feel the exact same about that solo. Insane.

[@hansgunness1631]

Please tour with the whole crew! This is next level shit. I can’t emphasize how much more the songs come alive

Right! One silver lining of the pandemic, as Nick says, that they could actually get everyone together. It's an incredible group and combination of characters and talents.

[@scph321]

i like the bra too. lol

[@squirlmy]

It seems very unfair that one woman can have that voice, that face, and fill out that bra. The weird thing is, I'm a cis male and I'm not supposed to be jealous or catty about this, but I feel my claws coming out. That bitch!

[@charliecounselman1864]

Such peace in this music...

The Drums on rewind are insane, big ups to the drummer! Edit: Also the guitar solo wtf its so good

Kind of feels like a gang of friends except the drummer who is a ringer.... nothing wrong with that

It's such a treat, pure pleasure.
