Two-Headed Boy Acoustic Encore by Jeff Mangum

[@MaxLaFaci]

The best part of the video is whoever is making the opening drum sound to 'the fool' at the end.

[@TalkingTaco15]

Jeff- "sing it" Every living thing in the room- "De de deeee de deeee de de de deee"

[@dylanmateo68]

And the dead things rose to join the living for that one glorious minute in that room

[@foxeh123]

Beautiful.

[@louisboyd-madsen2769]

He looks so young without the beard

[@holdendeez69]

and then he fucked himself over by growing a beard

[@A_29886]

@@holdendeez69 it's just facial hair (although he does look like the Unabomber)

[@featherheadsify]

the smile at the end was so joyful. almost like he just realized he was loved so dearly for reasons he'd believed the songs were just songs. i'm 27, i heard this album for the first time at 17. it was beyond important, close to holy, in my understanding of things. i was a musician with no grasp of music's potential. that all changed after KoCF pts. 2-3 kicked in. i'm still a fan and now i make good music! so many moments with that voice warming me.

[@sheabutter4847]

hope ur still loving it at 37!

[@crazyclemsonfan8305]

Hey there do you have Instagram

[@raymondstanford]

/mu/ sings Two-Headed Boy

[@leewardstyle]

Im fantastically in love with how quiet everyone got for the end. So quiet that Jeff begs them to sing the outro. My goosebumps have goosebumps.

[@findanewgoddd]

the acoustics of this room is amazing! no microphone and you can hear him perfectly. sounds like the room was pretty big too. also, this was recorded on my birthday :')

[@littlefilmco]

its on his face

[@boyo7918]

Ayy my birthday too

[@fukyou888]

I saw him last week. he asks the audience to sing. he knows we all know it. I was amazing! as the mountain goats once said when covering this song, "I haven't properly learned all the lyrics. In the event that I ruin them... there's at least one of you out there living and dying with the wonderful song. " CHECK! I can tell you almost everyone in Oakland last week, including me, is living and dying with this song. Thanks Jeff. So gracious and always unexpectedly fresh.

[@AdamRezz]

I like the tapping from the audience at the end that sounds similar to the beginning of "The Fool" :)

[@Wood3narms]

This has got to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard

[@pavlezeljic8991]

god, what i would give to hear that "THANK YOU" after the video cuts off aw oh my god

[@howaceisjoe]

The audience singing along added with the natural reverb of the room adds a whole different dynamic to the song. Oh, and it's fantastic.

[@AndySarvis]

I liked how there was a person tapping out the rhythm to the beginning of "The Fool" at the end

[@InWinterClothes]

How does anyone not like this?

[@TheLockdownKidNYC]

I was there too and the first few songs, we didn't seem sure if we SUPPOSED to sing along because of how quiet and intimate it was. Of course, with "Holland" and on, we lightened up but it was great to be able to sing along without being unsure about it.

[@Deviltriggerfounder]

I can feel his anger, he can explode any minute in that video. NO RECORDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING REEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@StupidDudesTV]

when I see him, i will be singing at him as loud as I can, holding back the tears.

[@TwistedSpawn]

I love his big smile at the end. Can't wait to see him live

[@anguskramer8660]

Did you ever see him?

[@Iemon_Lemon]

@@anguskramer8660I guess we’ll never know

[@dylanmateo68]

This might be the greatest live version of any song I have ever heard, and the end, as he tells his fans to sing, he has complete control

[@TheSkiesEyes]

His smile at the end of this is priceless

[@__mika84]

Honestly, at the beginning of this video I almost turned it off because of the crowd singing. By the end I was tearing up because of it.

[@wldchngrten]

I love how that one person did that little knocking noise like it is on the record at the end of the song. I caught myself doing it too. I should probably listen to it less often

[@blakegreendev]

just saw him last night in Oakland and I'm still hungover from the magical experience I got from that show.

[@Barben_LionHeart]

It’s 2024 I found this song in 2016 and it still kills me that I never got to see him live. What a performance!

[@jayjooisland]

Can we talk about how the man doesn't even have a MICROPHONE? Dat projection!

[@appl3stars]

He has a headset mic.

[@appl3stars]

Unless that's his hair. I can't tell.

[@bennyprofane3306]

appl3stars He actually doesn't have one. You can really tell by the volume of his voice. He really just does have an amazing voice and breath support.

[@YersenPestis]

extremeXjapanophile he's basically yelling for the whole song so it's not that hard to believe also it's probably a small venue

[@jayjooisland]

That's the same way it sounds on the record, so I don't personally feel like he's yelling too much.

[@satyapratik10]

Verse 1] Two-headed boy All floating in glass The sun it has passed Now it's blacker than black I can hear as you tap on your jar And I am listening to hear where you are I am listening to hear where you are [Verse 2] Two-headed boy Put on Sunday shoes And dance round the room to accordion keys With the needle that sings in your heart Catching signals that sound in the dark Catching signals that sound in the dark [Chorus] We will take off our clothes And they'll be placing fingers Through the notches in your spine And when all is breaking Everything that you could keep inside Now your eyes ain't moving, now They just lay there in their climb [Verse 3] Two-headed boy With pulleys and weights Creating a radio played just for two In the parlor with a moon across her face And through the music he sweetly displays Silver speakers that sparkle all day Made for his lover who's floating and choking with her hands across her face [Chorus] And in the dark we will take off our clothes And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine And when all is breaking Everything that you could keep inside Now your eyes ain't moving, now They just lay there in their climb [Verse 4] Two-headed boy There's no reason to grieve The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow And I will take you and leave you alone Watching spirals of white softly flow Over your eyelids and all you did Will wait until the point when you let go [Outro] Eh-dee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee Dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-da-doo

[@mybloodyboognish]

Seeing him tomorrow night in minneapolis. Super excited.

[@gregorygrieves2494]

I can tell he knows its an anthem he wrote for all of us after he says sing it to the crowd at the end. :)

[@clearview1]

@AnotherMe21 He isn't pissed the crowd is singing along. I saw him perform twice at ATP in NJ two weekends later and he actively encourages people to sing along while he plays.

[@ThiagoMedeirosGeo]

Is Jeff huge or is that guitar seriously small? It looks like one of those old Harmony / Kay/ Stella 3/4 guitars

[@ayusha149]

6 years late, but the guitar is small

[@gatogatonoclip]

@@ayusha149 nah fam Jeff is just too big

[@ChristopherTheBanana]

he is actually 8 feet tall

[@LemonWedgeinc]

I heard Jeff is actually pretty short

[@Cobertuskb]

He's a wizard or something.

[@mussman717word]

Just saw him last night... the best decision I've made this year, easily... or possibly of my life.

[@MrClaremonster]

This is the best video I've seen of Jeff Mangum playing. Thanks.

[@brightideas]

Ahh, this was so amazing. So glad he came back out and so glad you were so close and recorded it!

[@neilwilson5785]

Respect from all of us two-headed bois out there.

[@SCgriff]

one of the best moments of music I have seen live

[@crisisactor420]

Living legend

[@phishbeat]

Fantastic. Amazing show. Thanks for a sneaking this recording. Love it.

[@macska92]

This is one of the best live videos ever existed, I sooo wanna see him live :( Please Jeff, come to mid-Europe!!!

[@sunshaped]

Holy hell..how have i not seen this all these years. I can’t remember if i was at this show or the other one, one of the best experiences of my life!

[@dimwitted-fool]

When Jeff Mangum tells you to sing it…you sing it

[@elak.6220]

This song is my soul, my whole being and the breath that i take

[@timwasbornaunicorn]

this is so beautiful

[@barracudatheband]

god where he tells everyone to sing the dee dee's at the end!!!

[@franciscopalma4329]

sing it

[@vickywheels]

most amazing show i've ever seen in my life, and... uhhh... i'm pretty old :)

[@leezenkin6814]

Never such an intense man with such a small guitar :)

[@kevinjr101]

@chriskimize by the end everyone will be singing along including yourself and it won't make you half as angry as you think it will. Also he pleads for people to sing if the audience isn't. I went two nights ago and it was amazing. He said "You guys can yell at me if you want. " Eventually you realize he is a human and wants it to be a communal experience.

[@kyleronson1]

jeffmagnum attacked by fire ants

[@cptbenjaminwillard]

And everyone is singing along! Brilliant! :D

[@jmacatol]

this is impeccable. no more explanation.

[@necroscope101]

everytime i try to play this... open or barred... my hand hurts like ive been playing the bass to run to the hills....

[@laurachapiano]

Best night of my life.

[@JCLII]

I just found out he is coming to Chapel Hill! I can not begin to explain the excitement that is building up inside of me. Psyched!!!

[@23angelful]

what a version.

[@sniffableandirresistble]

That record is a masterpiece!!!

[@JuanFelipeMedina]

love the tapping at the end. I see what you did there jajaja

[@jmacatol]

this is impeccable.

[@snaggle_tooth6829]

that was so beautiful

[@swami47]

What are his lungs made of

[@crownmithrix]

blush cannon Nothing special honestly. He probably just has a second set of lungs

[@aaronflorian8150]

Milk

[@GeneTrujillo]

Let's talk about some things about Jeff Mangum that I never hear about. First, the dude is a human metronome. Every best is on time. It is a trait that pervades all of his work. Second, dang is his downstroke (in perfect time) FEROCIOUS! Jeff could have played in the Ramones if he chose. I am quickly exhausted trying to keep up.

[@fattyproductions]

HOLY SHIT!!!! i have that exact guitar!! its supposed to be from the 50s

[@nickcollura3050]

Beautiful.

[@aepheeckunthe]

не сразу заметил, что все это время за ним подпевал зал. потрясающе

[@JosephHerendeen]

Audience appreciation.

[@sneakaholic011]

pure magic

[@shanetor12]

"sing it" haha 3:42

[@LemonWedgeinc]

[@charizardoystersauce]

Happy birthday

[@IceGears]

Fucking beautiful. He sounds a lot better live than on the album!

[@JoshuaMLB]

amazing.

[@poraomaneiro]

He looks so young

[@CoqueSpoke]

@L188188 It's the smaller scale guitar

[@Creamy360]

fucking masterpiece

[@foecils]

Its a second encore and there is no microphone

[@TheKeyloser]

@1dolcevespa I'll be at the Fox on the 10th. Can't wait.

[@val.fil0]

Hey! Does anybody know which chords is he using? I have troubles with the second one he plays (after the G). I googled and it says it's a B, but it doesn't look like one

[@ichewtoast111]

YES.

[@hopscotchoblivion7564]

HE'S IN THE ZONE

[@SyRauk]

Four people left the show before it was over.

[@jonthemagicmelon]

i'm seeing him playing in December. I'm going to shit myself.

[@DrDavidHowler]

Catch me in the crib getting light to Jeff Mangum, it's fun to do bad things like rhyme about handguns

[@pr0dd2k9]

He seems to have the same condition Malkmus has...never aging.

[@DangerBayLive]

He seems pretty uncomfortable up there :/. Well, hes known to be a very private person. But I'm so damn fascinated by him.

[@pr00de]

@horrorwitheyeballs17 no, but this was the last song and everybody knew it. if the person taping it got caught, what were they going to do?

[@nirv]

Thanks for listing this video under comedy but I didn't laugh a single time.

[@edenwylie8917]

and they'll be Play♠️Acing fingers through the Not♟Chess in your spine ;)

[@prepetilec]

i hate when the public is not silent!!!

[@MottBonnott]

What is that guitar he's playing?

[@mothsfor]

calm down jeff that pick aint goin anywhere

[@Jack-fh1qh]

what was that B chord he was doing? not a 2nd or 7th fret bar

[@Wood3narms]

Barred in the second fret just playing it odd

[@genocideoffsprng]

COACHELLA!!!!!!!!

[@Warpathtopeace]

god forbid they enjoy that music!

[@dassonntagskind]

Whats the guitar called?

[@macdaddy11117]

Geez, I hope it's not a stupid sing-a-long in Brooklyn. Awesome song. Awesome artist that I want to hear sing the song not a bunch off key drunks.

[@heyearthlings]

@Warpathtopeace What? How...how does a HUMAN BEING not enjoy NMH?

[@AlexandreDuqueque]

RIRIIIIIIIIIIRIRIRIRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[@horrorwitheyeballs17]

Was video permitted?

[@kadencecook9663]

what is he playing in place of the b barre chord?

[@kadencecook9663]

i learned barre chords

[@AnotherMe21]

He seems pissed that the crowd is singing along.

[@featherheadsify]

"in my understanding of things" is a very key point. but your bitter tangent did let you vent out your frustrations with our tremendous age gap. obviously that gap allows you to see into my mind, his mind, and the future. ahem.
