The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio | Other Voices

The National performing a perfect set in Dingle for Other Voices in 2010 🖤
For the last 20 years Other Voices has been capturing musical performances in intimate spaces. The TV show and music festival which began in Dingle, Ireland has travelled to London, New York, Derry, Latitude Festival and Ireland's premier music festival, Electric Picnic.

[@DrMorrisOnline]

Holy ... The National are without a doubt the best American band right now. And Bryan Devendorf is without a doubt one of the best drummers in the world! His ability to play complex rhythms with masterful ease and precision is extraordinary.

Death Cab for Cutie is still in the game.

[@GerryAtrixx]

This is the best song to listen to while traversing the tree lined country roads of Ohio. I drive through Sugarcreek recently that this song took me somewhere otherworldly.

[@bandofmountains]

@@GerryAtrixx that's a different scratch for a different itch though

[@DavidAMarin]

Brilliant drumming, brilliant guitarwork and the Matt's baritone voice never ceases to amaze me.

[@ryArush]

+David A. Marin Totally agree

[@windsurfdaves]

The drummer is doing the bus, but the rest get in board.

[@patricktroy4076]

64 years old. And I Love this song. This is the music we need now!

[@fitzthecat]

Young whippersnapper lol ! Seen them twice.What a great band.. Eating supper in Asheville before the concert a few years ago and they were a few tables away.

[@richardmaslanka3820]

61 years old and I love this song .this is the music we need now

[@telephonic]

I hope you caught the Glastonbury set last night, sublime.

[@patrickryan5570]

Gosh - how lucky was that audience - A tiny Irish church in Dingle - one of the most beautiful places on earth - The National must have loved it too... Amazing.

[@maryl730]

This song is. Everything. Never get tired of it. The drumming, vocals, guitar. Love it and this band

[@RAIVEN.]

If you don't love this band I don't think I can be your friend....

[@funkyfreshtx]

friends!!

[@Kabbo_DraCärys]

But fall in love

[@richardmaslanka3820]

Guess I'll have to be your friend then

[@Scp716creativecommons]

What if i like em, but I'm not in like with em? It's ok if we're not friends, i respect everyone, and their rights to be wrong

[@MrWillywax]

Be my friend

[@emmahystrix]

THE SOUND IS INCREDIBLE. allows you to enjoy this song

[@TomTropic]

Thank you God that I am alive and I can hear this unbelievable track.....

[@martintube24]

I'll love this till I'm dead

[@bernlin2000]

I died and was resurrected and still love this :-)

[@bukowski20]

Yes, it's dead good, isn't it?

[@TomTropic]

me too

[@funkyfreshtx]

Me too. I lived in Ohio for a few years but this song just for some reason gets me all emotional. Absolutely love it. was so glad to be able to see it performed live a few years back

[@scottallison9659]

A decade may have passed since I first heard this track, and rarely have I been hit with that knockout punch, but this does the trick every single time. Sublime...period. ✌️✌️💎💎🕺🕺🥰🥰

[@MrMRW14]

This song will always be in my top 5. Some nights I’m emotional it’s and easy 1. It’s so intense yet so comforting

[@ramonathewaitress]

I could just watch Bryan drum all day. Such a compelling musician.

[@work7844]

Hard to believe just how much is going on in this song. Live performances really make the horns and guitar work shine. As an Ohioan, I can tell you that the floors are surely falling out from everyone I know.

[@TimothyGoff]

This is one of those songs that was 'meh' the first time I heard it and is now one of my favorite songs, from one of my favorite albums. funny how that happens, but sometimes the best songs take a little time to hit you.

[@PrivateVoid1]

Still for me the best version of this sublime song.

[@deadheadwill2609]

check out the goose version, its worth it

[@zaidkreshan5145]

It's not just the song, the whole band is that way.

[@JohnAMarcelo]

"bloody brilliant" is an understatement.

[@annie123454]

best band on the planet at moment!!!!!!!

[@MultiSweener]

What a fantastic performance

[@moosesnWoop]

That drumming is SO tight

de mis nuevas favoritas, tanto como 1979 de smashing pumpkins, estilos diferentes pero muy melancolicos...estoy conmovido y a la vez fascinado. esto me llega muy profundo.

[@gflong2010]

I was born with features of VACTERL in Cleveland in 1957...this song resonates with me more than I can possibly relate....I truly was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees. VACTERL When the angel of death visited my cradle, slid his smooth scythe across my smooth, cherub cheek - whispered some dark thing, some hiss, into my ear... I smiled back... born in a black pool and then, and there, God stared down - his granite brow furrowed... with interest. Gerald Long 3/9/2020 *POEM

[@joeryan7625]

Fucking masterpiece.

[@defhastube]

Amazing sonics rifts in the middle and end of the song.....:)BRILLIANT

[@benblessing]

I love conducting concert band and orchestra music. But this is just as special, and I love it. It's wonderful songwriting.

[@toulad5317]

Oh my God. I've found a goldmine on Utube

[@higgobraga]

What a band.... brilliant.

[@HUGOBHV]

Epico!!!!! que bien hecha esta..!!! desde la letra, acorde, time...tsssssssss ideal para una fogata, bosque, nublado!!!

[@debgresh38]

Fantastic performance! I love this song anyway but this energy in this is way better than the studio version

[@krishke1976]

You are Bloody right Mate... What a blood Buzz.... in a swarm of bees... So simple yet more than brilliant...

[@MrCaspar24]

Great Track ... brill live ....

[@SagHill_255]

I'm glad the national didn't forget where they're from and made a song about it. Pretty cool.

[@philliplong8915]

simply amazing

[@bearpickle]

yeah this is my favorite song and album of the year so far.

[@lewisnicklen6400]

Absolutely phenomenal. Hit for six indeed.

[@jonathanclegg1595]

Heard this at the Louisiana in Bristol last night, quality

[@Darakhead]

amazing!

[@ondrejtregler]

the best version

[@nathanskilbeck2596]

for some reason this reminds me of joy division.

[@TheThefibrylator]

maybe this depth and this trance? In some songs, you can see the fire in Matts eyes

[@bebethogawa]

amazing!!!!!!!!1

[@peterzen12]

I saw the brass in the background and wondered...huh? Then I remembered the LP mix that had some semblance of orchestral undertones to many of the songs on 'High Violet'. And I thought the horns worked very well-and a different ear for a familiar song is often amazing; like this is.

[@mistercimba]

Damn, I love Kurt even more knowing he likes The National

[@JulioAvalos3000]

So good.

Wow. I've loved this song since first hearing it on NPR. I guess it was 2011. Long ago, in a galaxy far far away.

[@CharlesRookChannel]

all I can say is if you like this you need to get yourself some "the church" records. you can bet these guys have them.

[@alfianbanjaransari4096]

What epiphone semi hollow is that?

[@craigleewilliams]

that 4:06 yell though....like he fucked up or something. fuckin love The National. seeing them in October at the bowl of Hollywood 😁

[@Mr.Kittychickenwing]

Ohio boy here. Born and still growing up lol

[@leonardbyrne76]

As I said below

[@mikogale]

some people saying here that the vocals are weak.. you should try singing a fucking E2 note in front of a loud band.. it's fucking impossible. E2 is the lowest note in the verses btw. E2 is the lowest string of the guitar when it's in standard tuning. It's pretty fucking impossible to sing it loudly haha

[@craigleewilliams]

miko Neutral Milk Hotel!!!!!

[@humanonearth1]

What do they feed their drummer?

[@fotinifotini5452]

I remembered there were some "interesting" KZbin comments about the drummer in the background. Hmm...

[@apullcan]

...saying that he was brilliant? yeah, they were right

[@rossheathorn121]

Wicked song great live version 2. I got some live acoustic tunes on here put in Ross Heathorn merry go round or Ross Heathorn flattery or Ross Heathorn spoilt or tides or dig it all. Be nice 4 some feedback people. Theres like 30 plus songs must be 1 you dig people peace and love x

[@calbassas87]

People saying the National is “dad rock”. Are you out of your mind? The National is closest thing to Radiohead going right now.

[@eevae]

Swell

[@LouderThanLife100]

Not the first guy on that stage to use an ebow at the start of a song. Anyone catch my drift?

[@jesbaez5229]

Own money to the money to the money I own. That simple.

[@cancellara1979]

Drummer got eyes on back of head.

[@eddienebula6084]

🤔... i wanna like it. i swear i do. im genuinely trying. im confused

[@work7844]

It's an Ohio thing.

[@anthonycollins5305]

They must try harder?

[@ouroboros78]

Anyone else think their singer looks like Conan O'Brien?

[@abelisraelcruzayuso4682]

Half-arsed version...

[@pontiuspilates]

Wanna know the truth? Matt is a terrible live singer. Yes, he is a baritone and that's good, but seriously, it's no excuse. His vocal is weak or at least sounds weak due to a lack of training. And yeah, that's why I never attend live shows, they dissapoint me.

[@btcubs]

That's a really bad point

[@chriskennedy7671]

Vytautas Šileika not sure how you can't enjoy there concerts, seen them earlier this year in Dublin. Best gig I've been to, absolutely brilliant

[@pontiuspilates]

Chris kennedy seriously, I love their records, it's one of my favorite bands ever, but Matt really is a poor singer. I could only listen to him really drunk, otherwise I'd be ruining their good image in my memory. Some other bands like Wilco, Calexico, Spiritualized are amazing live and sound very professional. I just can't not see the lack of professionalism in Matt.

[@pontiuspilates]

Chris Ducat so you are calling me an asshole because I have a different opinion than yours? Grow up, man. I understand when some pop singers have a mannered voice, like Bowie. But Bowie is different from Matt. Bowie is actually able to "catch" the notes with precision and clarity while maintaining his "raw" and reticient manner. And when one isn't able to do that, it sounds nothing more than a drunk karaoke howler. On the other hand, ignorance is bliss.

[@aidangriffin8183]

But the National are not just about Matt's voice - if he had a pitch perfect voice it would be ridiculous like Maroon 5 - they are one of the few bands left we can trust to deliver a great album and a live show - just brilliant music combined with great lyrics and a brilliant, interesting frontman. I don't get your point really. Music is truly on the wane and thank fuck these are here and having seen every major act bar Prince I would rate these in my top 10 ever.
