Vampire Weekend - Full Performance - Live on KCRW, 2010

[@bensonsj98]

I remember when my best friend in high school showed me Contra for the first time on his iPod Nano. I haven't been the same since.

[@MattHabermehl]

Oh man, such a great song. It wasn't my first, but it's definitely one of my favs.

[@shwiggydog]

lol when Baio's headphones fall off at 7:00 and Ezra notices and chuckles

[@livialleal]

I love this era so much, ezra's green vest brings back some memories

[@joseeusebiocontreiras9410]

Soo GoooooooooD, Thanks. 2010!!!!! Come back, time, come BACK!!!!!!

[@dwilches13]

M79 is such a lovely song. It has always made me feel a connection with NYC.

[@nemo2327]

Something about Rostam being in this is so wholesome. The original squad, that chemistry is just oozing throughout🎶💕

[@DoubleDowner]

he shouldn't have left, his solo stuff is awful

[@euphegenia]

@@DoubleDowner I just heard their new songs that just dropped and I couldn’t help but think Rostam helped on the new album. Has that “baroque-pop” feel. Feels a lot like their first album or Vampires.

[@dropzBiG]

thats why its so tragic

Contra era Vampire Weekend YES SIR !

[@RussellLambdin]

Where art thou my brother; I return here when I need to go back in time.

[@robertkeating6036]

Right here RHK3*

[@MattHabermehl]

I love White Sky so much. It could have so easily gone so wrong, but somehow Ezra takes something that other musicians would fail at, and makes it super awesome. How does he do it? I don't know, but it has secured me as a lifelong VW fan.

[@genarodiaz187]

Chris baio is amazing . Really good bass player !

[@gabriellesuarez2310]

The XX shirt!! Amazing. 2010 was a good year.

[@dmrsk1899]

I have videos of each song from this performance downloaded on my laptop. Good days.

[@trollmomful]

7:25 damn, this guy really just barked on live TV

[@OrcOfOrchestra]

The horn duo and the string quartet all know what they're doing and I love it!

[@ProdWoo]

They make it look effortless.

[@dynjarren8355]

Cousins is my favorite VW song! Fast, precise and brilliant! 😊🎃

[@ronster369]

Found this completely by accident tonight. Thanks KCRW. I feel like I can die a happy man now if I have to. This stuff makes a big difference in these times when every concert is being cancelled. I've fallin' in love with my band all over again thanks to you. What great footage...! The sound is awesome.

[@Driver8takeabreak]

Wow, I never realized that 2nd opening part in Ottoman was on the bass. I always thought it was on a cello! What a great song!

[@samseptember6404]

Thanks so much for re-uploading this, been waiting patiently for about 7 years!

Cousins is such a hectic but great song.

Was not expecting the orchestral ensemble!!

[@hexis23]

I love this band so much.

[@TheVoluntariast]

So damn good. Will always be one of my favorite bands.

[@Dellyb12]

So glad I found this. Love Vampire weekend so much and this is bringing back so many memories

[@agitatopelaez]

Come on... this video makes me my day !!!!

[@nduggins9282]

Contra was their best album.

[@ZackGregory]

Not even close. Have you heard their debut album?!

[@Foster_B]

@@ZackGregory their debut album is great, but it definitely isn’t miles ahead of Contra. It’s a toss up in my book.

[@zackzallie8735]

Modern Vampires took the cake for me.

[@nates.249]

@@Foster_B Well said. I was going to say the same thing.

[@nates.249]

@@zackzallie8735 A very creative album indeed, but I felt like it strayed a little more into the commercial indie sound then their first two albums did. For me the first two albums hit you with song after song of original compositions and unique genre combinations that defined my early 20s. Modern Vampires was good but it felt like they were losing that initial spark of originality at that point. Or the music was changing in some way. But it's cool to hear you say you really like that one, because it's cool to hear different people's musical preferences.

[@nikhilchavda9954]

My favorite band.

[@who7063]

This is...awesome.

[@raulpozos5090]

Sooo glad you put this back on youtube, i used to watch it a lot back in the day!

[@Olivezon]

I play guitar, a bit, and what amazes me most is "M79". Amazing performance here. I love you.

[@velocitygirl8551]

Where the heck have i been!!??

[@dynjarren8355]

Intelligent Pop music! Well crafted and played! They remind me of the Talking Heads for some reason. Not by using African music but by their precision and approach as well as originality. Excellent Band!

[@Joaco_cid]

15:03 i love how the violins sound

[@ScinterScoldem-pq9ew]

I wish they would have showed Roman more in Holiday.. Great camera focus most the time. Ezra’s guitar footage maximum!

[@mikeyellis4702]

Such a talented band ❤

[@m14ninja]

My new favorite KZbin video 🤙🏻

[@starwart2000]

I remember this performance, Rostam’s shirt is how I got into the xx.

[@menymtz7165]

Perfect music to start this Friday!!!

[@ThatPhillGuy]

Why's Gob playing bass? Is this another one of his tricks? I mean illusions

[@albeitu]

Man this was a reference that I was not expecting, good job

[@AnjiruSlave]

Oh my God!

[@hombrelumiere1504]

Grand groupe, y a pas à dire , pas rock'n roll mais tellement créatif

[@surayaroos9522]

6:56 Baio loses his headphones and they crack up!

[@johnnestor7386]

Is that second track a Paul Simon song or am I just too old. Either way I loved it thanks everyone including the beautiful strings!

[@zxginay3962]

they are so tight

[@Seattlepsych1]

Love this. They were just babies....

[@TheFunckyRanch]

Que grandes recuerdos ❤️! Me sigue encantando este en vivo cómo hace 10 años!! La mejor banda ❤️❤️❤️

[@jooooeey3630]

Momma did ya’ll film this on a GoPro? I know it’s public radio but was there no budget? 😫

[@fredman727]

Shit, I misread the tittle and thought it was MGMTs 2010 one. When will that one come out?

[@tevenm6647]

man , they cant hide the enthusiasm ! lol

[@sidersky508]

Baio on the fucking bass

[@thenarrativeandwhyyouloveit]

How did ottoman never make it on the album. To this day it still bothers me. It’s by far my favorite VW song.

[@pulpfan69]

It actually made it to the Japanese version of contra. However, it'll cost you like 40 dollars.

[@euaggelion03]

There is nothing like the og VW...

[@ScinterScoldem-pq9ew]

Most of these songs look like they’re using a drum machine 😊 Word to the real drum player jamming out in his own glass house 🎉😂

[@ScinterScoldem-pq9ew]

Well I guess White Sky Ramen Roman Bastaj turns on a drum machine thinger. The drummers there though right?! They just don’t show him later! Man that’s crazy I love these dude’s

[@emopapidiaz]

Is that Ben Shapiro on the cello?

[@aidansoto5857]

bruh

Ben plays the violin so it's plausible lol
