The Shins - Kissing the Lipless Live

[@lebarosky]

The duet between the bass and lead guitars that goes on in this song is like two firebirds flying in a love dance.

*clap clap clap clap clap clap* WOO !

[@hangingwithmatty9465]

Lol 5years later that made my day for some reason...ty

[@johnnorton1948]

I believe this is the best take of this song available.

[@frankielambardo9268]

This may be the greatest band ever!

[@gavinfoote_Music_Surf]

It is!

[@ironnwine12]

of course he’s fantastic live lol. god damn. effortless

[@meyrinfields6294]

Found them in 2010 when I was 17. Truly underrated but its like knowing a sacred secret having them not be so mainstream

[@davidk7575]

the great remains of a friendship.....scarred

[@fredgoss]

I'm a man and I think the Shins might be one of the most under-rated bands of the last decade

[@hangingwithmatty9465]

I found them on yo gabba gabba after my kid was born! The 2 best things that ever happened to me lol!

[@gomazko]

La primera vez que escuché esta canción fue una "epifanía". No hay adjetivo para describir la alegría que me produce cada nuevo disco y eso que no entiendo completamente lo que dicen.¡MARAVILLA!. Desde Bilbao, salud, alegría y buenos alimentos.

[@pleasure.93]

one of my favourite songs from The Shins

[@RicZalewski]

Missed them last time in Melbourne I will never forget myself for that

[@frankielambardo9268]

the guitar player is awesome!!!

[@piratedk1d]

love this song so much

[@joobae]

i just wish they had one more chorus at the end!!!!

[@homeonice]

The best I have seen them perform this track, or any track for that matter

[@cmdraven]

Brilliant performance.

[@sophiemia827]

Chills.

[@ilikegoodmusicdude]

it's so much faster! his voice is incredible though. my word. i cannot express in words how remarkable these words are though. where do you come up with words like that? woah. the shins rock.

[@mulliganstew72]

So poetic. Awesome crescendo.

[@KawhackitaRag]

Nice camera work too, compared with many other concert videos of various groups. It is nice to see someone who gives close-ups of the different instrumentalists performing as we hear them in turn, quite a change from some musically-challenged camera people who couldn't tell the difference between a keyboard and a bass if either of them hit them in the face. I always wondered how that ending keyboard part went, I thought it was just noodling around on a pentatonic scale... NOPE! Great!

[@Yulietab]

una de esas canciones con las que no sabes si gritar, llorar, saltar, tirarte y sentir el pasto o correr...

[@lebarosky]

This is their best song still, and the closest to letting the guitars have their way with Mercer's music, which is good.

[@KawhackitaRag]

That was a gorgeous performance... I was a bit worried because the version on the recording (Chutes Too Narrow) is so completely excellent and wonderful in every way, that I thought there was no way it could be re-created live. Well, the vibe here is more pensive and less aggressive and bursting with energy than the recording, but I am pretty sure this is completely intentional. They wrote the song, after all... they can re-interpret it however they like! Still a beautiful performance.

[@mostkedim]

[@seanybooboo]

[@caduquistao]

What instrument Eric Johnson plays on this vid (and other songs like A Comet Appears)?

[@caduquistao]

Just got it. That's a lap steel guitar.

[@SirOmicron]

the fact that you FEEL less manly for liking the shins is what makes you less manly, not the fact of liking them, bromine.

[@speedybill47]

@Steoandnoodles1 Okay i think hes pretty high up there too

[@lebarosky]

He is writing everything but on this one he lets the guitarist loose, and it's great. Then, he changed direction.

[@fredgoss]

this is a brilliant lyric. it sucks me in 100 precent

[@SirOmicron]

a bit of an exaggeration on that last statement, but quite good nonetheless.

[@WIlliamMunnyOutlaw]

i feel less manly knowing that I am probably one of the shins only male fans

[@ucopiedyibo1959]

Dude don’t and there’s a lot of them
