The War On Drugs performing "An Ocean In Between The Waves" Live on KCRW

[@janoca]

The solo of this song is the definition of an eargasm.

[@kylebiccari6759]

Check out Muse's Citizen Erased from around 5:35 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnacpZtpYq2EapIm35s) for another one :)

[@lvov75]

ahahah

[@McFrosty2014]

And then the keyboard picks up...😍😍😍

[@alejandropineda6998]

Unreal how they can stay so melodic and tamed in such a heavy song. On the verge the whole song. Epic

[@zyf365]

That solo... I can't, I just can't stop listening to it

[@TimeMonitoring]

Which one lol

[@staceymcgrath3376]

A bit more volume...but yeah it's perfect for the song

[@hombreavestruzable]

nobody can ignore this piece of art

[@jonahdrake5885]

"Waiting... waiting! Storming... storming! I wanna ride on the top, just wanna rise up against it here..."

[@DTS7709]

I must have seen 100 different performances of this song, but this recording is the most complete of them all. Amazing.

[@yazanshrouf619]

Nice one, but i liked the KEXP performance the most.

[@Wanz9]

@@yazanshrouf619 Per Adam's own admission, he 'flubs' the climax in the KEPX performance. He apologizes to Cheryl. This one is the best of the lot--agree 1000% with Dane.

[@mtccandido]

@@Wanz9 I guess it could be said that this one is better performed, but the KEXP one has a better sound quality, at least on headphones.

[@sqgnz]

@@mtccandido Agreed. KEXP had better audio quality, but this performance is cleaner.

[@mariocarreno95]

@@yazanshrouf619 1000% agree. This one is good, but from ALL the performances I've seen of this song, the KEXP one takes the cake. The audio mix from the KEXP engineers is superb! You could barely hear the drums here lol

[@davidy1412]

I would say that this is one of the greatest live performances of all time

[@DonnyWin]

Trawled KZbin for all the live versions of this song. I keep coming back for this one.

[@niklasdahl4455]

After seeing them live 10 times this is the definitive version. Insanely good.

[@ivorysoap]

that solo was really good!

[@JudyinAL]

My favorite band right now! They are awesome & this song just grasps you.

[@yazanshrouf619]

Now we can tell our kids in the future that we witnessed the era of The War on Drugs. this is so underrated.

[@haas1998]

Still pinching myself that I was lucky enough to see TWOD live @ Radio City Music Hall 10/8! SUPERB show!! BEST band out there!

[@raionkohon3447]

So much Dylan in the voice. I really love this band.

[@finleyscotland]

Love you Adam. Best version of this song. All I listen to anymore. Perfection, stunning.

[@strictlynorton]

A superb live version of what for me is one of the real highlights of the "Lost" album. TWOD really are special and Adam one of Rock's most unsung hero's...

[@mauijaystar]

That solo!

[@peterdavies1631]

damn i wish every song on this album was 20 minutes long ...such a great band ...greetings from Wales ...come on over :)

[@matthewkinasz6999]

Greetings from the Valleys. You see them Headline Greenman a few years back?

[@matthewkinasz6999]

UK tour nxt year

[@iless664]

@@matthewkinasz6999 saw them at the O2 last month. Fucking incredible!

[@anitayaxa]

best 2014 song so far

[@redlabfilms110]

I saw them at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR. -- One of the best shows I have ever seen.

[@cristianabondano1680]

Finalmente tuve el privilegio de verlos en Montréal y esta canción fue la mejor!!! Mi favorita!!

[@LiberTBo]

I was immediately intrigued a few years ago when I first saw WOD live on KEXP in Seattle....I bought their album

[@tagnatios]

Great groove to lock into can't help but nod the head and close your eyes, great album as well.

[@jessicac.j]

With every wave, I look for you. You and I, I pray we meet again. 💞 My heart longs for you so deeply.

[@MrNeed4Speed57]

Wow I just heard them tonight on Jimmy Fallon. I don't care what anyone says, these guys are great. Sounds alot like Bob Dylan. Anyway I will be listening to these guys for quite some time!!!

[@taffyboy154]

Their best studio&live track....

[@caradehuachinango1291]

[@SG-if9ny]

Can listen to this song over and over.......

[@AMULET72]

I haven't played air guitar this well in years!

[@toblerusseta]

I save money to be able to travel the world to see this band. So good.

[@kylegriffin3778]

I've seen them in 3 cities and didn't spend more than $30 a ticket. 2 of them were on the railing up front. They are unbelievable to see live.

[@douglaswagner6888]

So Smooth..i really like this version.. their album is great

[@AntonyKein]

What an amazing & beautiful journey !!!

[@kissyoumissyouxxx9227]

Fantastic guitar tone on this mix. Even better than the KEXP version.

[@venustomars]

I love this band and their music. I was lucky and have been able to see them twice live and those shows just stoked the fire. I'm full blown obsessed.

[@PatrickDudemaister]

[@ericzayne]

[@raddadization]

saw them last night and they dropped this second song in . just incredible

[@arigatogozaimasu123]

[@bogusawjaneczek6397]

Niesamowity utwór.... doskonały do jazdy na rowerze... i do łóżka... "jak grali kiedyś...? tak jakby grali kiedyś..."

[@Austin-wh4yi]

That Les Paul is a compliment to the solo...

[@GregJ1]

perfect

[@grgehlen4718]

They should make the solo longer. And louder.

[@JorgeAcero]

They do have an extended version of this song. Pretty powerful.

[@davgeo206]

The best song

[@lord-dark-coffee]

YEAH! awesome

[@spinkicker27]

Seems like KEXP and KCRW trying so hard do cold competition become "Best Live Radio Video" in KZbin.

[@Deathshuck]

There's really no competition. KCRW clearly has a better mix.

[@spinkicker27]

Deathshuck Maybe we have a different taste. KEXP is the best one for me. KCRW good indeed. .

[@chrisk7082]

Ilham Maulana maybe you should rephrase that

[@rossd6779]

Wow

[@MrHappydeepsiggi]

♫ very ♫ very ♫ nice ♫

[@rubendariohiguitalopez2863]

Muy buena banda

[@SteveTalkowski]

Great song! Love the build-up.

[@SamPendleton]

He looks like Vedder and sounds like Dylan.

[@tons333]

but he's granduciel. and that's enough.

[@yazanshrouf619]

A combination of Bob Dylan and Bryan Adams.

[@CanklesInKorporated]

With a dash of Springsteen.

[@mpruess3552]

total geile musik

[@humongoushomunculus8020]

Saxaphone dude was totally screwed out of a solo. I was waiting for it. It never came.

[@lennywoods7600]

Band of Horses meets Black Angels = Great grooving music.

[@ordep2116]

Bob Young or Neil Dylan or Neil Petty or Bob Young or Tom Young ...etc. good music.

[@guymalugani9577]

OUAOUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!

[@davidboerma]

Im I the only one hearing Wilco in here? I guess the roots of this music are so deep, you can hear all kinds of great stuff back

[@paulharris5325]

+David Boerma...is this the Dave from Chicago Kent lab?

[@baruckspinoza6081]

Geil!!

I hope this song's solo never ends..

[@KrzysztofC-1]

This one seems to be way better quality and studio setup: "The War on Drugs - An Ocean In Between the Waves (Live on KEXP)"

[@elboli92]

DAT SOLO

[@zyf365]

what other bands play the guitar like them?!!

[@LastOfTheBret]

"Built to spill" is kinda similar in my opinion check them out

[@chrisk7082]

I wish people would stop comparing to previous artists, some people just sound like those that have gone before by chance, Also show me a contemporary musician who is not influenced by previous artists! so it’s an irrelevance who they sound like unless it’s a blatant rip off, just enjoy it

[@chrisk7082]

doglaw 64 seen them Live 4-5 times now and again due to see them in London on June 2nd.. what a guitar player Adam is!! He’s inspired me to pick up an instrument and 4 months down the road I’m Thinking how do these guys get so good?? 👌

[@kndvolk]

Right on bro!!! How many songs can this band create that don't cause goosebumps? Amazing.

[@teuenga]

what sort of horn is our man playing at the start at 0.26?

[@owenmorris1177]

Flugel horn

[@thomaskennedy7842]

Mini buckers for the win.

[@marioalbertosantiagoortega9317]

Ya suena en unas Harman kardon....

[@csparksnc1]

shred

[@toblerusseta]

Farawaymaaaaaa

[@jbmolcon]

A few of their songs sound similar to each other,,,,,no bad thing when the sound is great.

[@DarkAngelEU]

Can anyone answer me if he puts on a capo and makes the guitar into standard E (so without it's Standard D) or if it's a different tuning? Thanks in advance :)

[@jackpops3613]

Yes, it appears to be standard E tuning with capo on third fret.

[@rbrme]

I think it's just a capo on 3 and the guitar's in standard.

[@xThomas68]

in which key is the solo? sometimes it looks like Gm sometimes it looks like Dm

[@ndeef]

+xThomas68 the song uses the chords F, Gm, and Eb for the verses and (choruses?) and these chords are ambiguous between the keys Gm and Dm. However, in the bridge/solo, the chords A# (Bb) and C are introduced, which pulls this song into the key of Dm. Both would work for a majority of the song, so I'm sure he probably uses pieces of each scale to put together his solos in this.

[@xThomas68]

+Nick DeFeudis Music alright, thanks!

[@estherk.4331]

I want to know what he is singing from 4:37 on, anyone who understands it?

[@CHILEANDPASTA]

I've googled it n it seems he saws different things in every live versions :( no fair!! Very eddie vedder of him!!

[@estherk.4331]

CHILEANDPASTA bummer :-) I really love this song and I want to sing all of it with him, lol. Thanks Chileandpasta!

[@ПавелБерезников-д8к]

Нереально круто!) Приедут в Санкт-Петербург - я буду первым, кто купит билет))

[@lucalone]

he sings like dylan but he can play the guitar like hendrix^^

[@joriskoenders5252]

No, he sings and plays like TWOD

[@derrickbudd5662]

^5

[@winna4016]

le solo de fin est terrible :o

[@peace_wolf]

i dont know why but they remind me of Dire Straits!

[@lucesysombras367]

A mi también!

[@charlielenk1677]

To me the solo is much like the one at the end of Tunnel Of Love: it eloquently tells its own story independent of the one in the lyrics.
