I played guitar on the original session...u guys sound great!

[@minguseyes7475]

Oh man, what an honor! I played your parts in this video. We always wondered about that solo, was it a b-bender or not?

[@johnberesford9906]

I bought this record yesterday, it is so good and it's sad to think it didn't get the recognition it deserves at the time. Thanks for contributing in bringing this art to life

[@urbanairgunner6402]

I am a gene Clark fanatic love his songwriting I have since I was just a kid what a great cover of this song my hats are off to all who took part in it two thumbs up

[@mitchkenvin259]

How cool. I heard Gene was such a kind guy?

[@nmd14723]

I’m sure Leland would approve of the bass 👏

[@geraldmcgee614]

[@jmdean_]

We're Sergeant Pecknold's lonely hearts club band We hope you have enjoyed the show

[@atomi62]

I miss Fleet Foxes so much...love Robin, always, what an amazing cover and what a humble and profound man... :)

[@ChocolateRain68]

0:36 Giving Robin them eyes...

[@Mr.Luuranko]

Daaaemn...

[@JoeDoggTV]

haha weird seeing him with short hair and no beard

[@stans945]

Great to see so much put into recreating this Gene Clark classic.

[@allanmojica6455]

strange to see him with short hair, and without his guitar

[@iamthelazerviking23]

Ya’ll nailed it. This video is getting me through Corona Time. Thank you for the soulful sounds.

[@Christian-ty1kv]

Victoria Legrand at 2:03?!?

[@patrickhawkinson5427]

I suspect that this clean cut look is a means to blend in with the college crowd while Mr. Pecknold has been pursuing his degree. Dear Mr. Pecknold, If you ever get around to resurrecting the band we are all thinking about, please throw away you're Bic razor and stop visiting your barber. A fox needs his fur.

[@petestronach4949]

there's history here eh, . . i dig this song tho, tight band, catchy roll to it, and those backup girls, wow, perfect of them, Anyway, no disrespect, dont know why i spoke really, cheers man

[@tonebenderx]

This performance is nothing short of magical.

[@petestronach4949]

[@animalloverabh]

WHY HAVE I ONLY JUST FOUND THIS

[@frankjames6590]

kudos to the guitar player..nailed the original soloby Gerry McGee..

[@mayamagination]

He looks like a different man. Same great voice, though.

[@MeTRoD]

I sincerely hope that the recently mentioned third Fleet Foxes LP isn't too far away.

[@outlawyer45]

I can't believe I'm seeing and hearing this. Y'all are beautiful.

[@mitchkenvin259]

Stoned, numb, and drifting…. Hard to be profound. Boy he was some incredible lyricist.

[@noelhutz]

good to hear his voice again

[@lola1987fudgeyouu]

FOLK GAME KARL MALONE MY BOY ROBIN ALWAYS DELIVERS

[@ashwinvasan375]

I do believe I was there that night. Was this at MHoW? Vaguely remember thinking Hamilton Leithauser was there too but I might be conflating super happy memories.

[@loudavid4081]

he should put out a country album

[@globidenz2447]

IMAGINE 😭♥️ What an instant classic that would be

[@econogate]

Well done. One of the best things in life maybe in finding out you were thinking you were lost, alone and afraid when in fact you never were. Whether it was all your fault or all your doing and gain it still seems fleeting, meaning seems useless in the face of a higher power, as it will turn out as it should for whatever reason, if you so choose to play the fool in that game that also maybe your choice and decision to make but ultimately it depends on how you perceive it and how you gamble with your life.

[@jimhoerr]

Just can't get enough of this! Great song, great rendition

[@tryharder75]

This is the very best we have considering there's no live video of the man himself doing this album

[@maxwellspeedwell2585]

I think one of the back-up singers is Olive Oyl... or Cyndi Lauper.

[@gerrygreene6354]

This is terrific.

[@waukivorycopse2402]

Cricket Arrison, sings them harmonies like nobody never, man!

[@leesykes861]

... no black Artists i can see of? ...

[@tryharder75]

Wrong group

[@KJam206]

30 people just to play 2 notes I thought I was at church

[@Ken2234]

KJam206 its called layering derpa

[@Davian67]

+KJam206 2 notes? You obviously don't know anything about music. No soup for you!

[@roellassche1403]

Dont ever commend on this one again,you just don,t know,stay on your own tracks

[@roberthanjian9044]

This song is not even “2 notes”. It is a fully structured composition

[@globidenz2447]

LMAO WTF😂
