The Mountain Goats - Up The Wolves @The Paper Tiger - San Antonio 9.7.18

Was a really wonderful expirience. Glad it can be shared.

[@guyphawkes]

This song is so powerful, I went to Rome last month, to go see the statue of the two boys, and the wolf. A monument to their suffering, and what they managed to do in the face of all the adversity. This is one of the greatest songs ever written.

[@hdfart]

I’ve shouted “That’s today!” and “That’s right noowww!” every time I’ve seen them play this live, mostly because I can’t stand to hear the song without it

[@thatonepunkguy]

The "Thats today!" And "Thats right now!" Made me tear up oh my god. I want this as an official recording to listen to 24/7

[@birth0fserpents]

ITS GONNA TAKE YOU PEOPLE YEARS TO RECOVER FROM ALL THE DAMAGE

😭😭😭😭😭

[@deianeiracrush]

this is one of the most gorgeous filming of a set i've ever seen. the way it captures the audiences raw energy as well as johns energy... its just stunning. bravo

[@bereknordin]

Seriously, thank you so much. That means a lot.

[@SamMarshallLovesYou]

God I miss live music and being shoved into venues that can't hold us.

[@bee4590]

John should pay you to film concerts cause this is superb

[@carolinecostello8049]

The way this video perfectly captures the energy of a crowd at a concert is making me so sad in quarantine : , (

[@bereknordin]

Caroline Costello I feel the same way. Also, thank you so much!

[@andyanderson100]

This is maybe the 4th time I’ve seen a live recording of this where John adds a second “We will be gone” to the chorus, and I love it. The way he almost screams it is wonderful

[@Tjsegui]

I think every time I've seen them live he's done this, both at solo and full band shows!

[@Ailine123]

I just saw them do this again last night at Paper Tiger and it was so wonderful.

[@jamieferro8872]

I love the energy of this song. It's like saying "F##k you!" to all the problems that life throws at us and that we will survive and come out stronger in the end.

[@paulhoward1493]

Uplifting, joyous, moving, euphoric and glorious 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@StudioScarecrow]

the passion of the audience singing along during the last few lines made me tear up

[@josephherron7671]

[@BackToBackJames]

"Not today!"

[@squeemlives]

Will be there any more of this show uploaded? This is perfect, exactly how a Mountain Goats show should be filmed.

[@bereknordin]

Wow, thanks. There is no more footage. I only set out to film this song. I took several pictures as well and spent most of the time singing along with everyone else.

[@cicada8074]

What is the guy yelling?

[@bereknordin]

In response to the lyrics “there’s gonna come a day when you feel better” he yells “that’s today!” then the line is “you’ll rise up free and easy on that day” and he yells “that’s right now!”

[@briannadayton1081]
