Vampire Weekend - Kids Don't Stand a Chance (live on Conan).avi

Vampire Weekend Live! on conan.

[@Mlugo156]

Vampire Weekend pretty much restored my faith in music. Best release of '08 hands down.

[@kd-kh7um]

rostam has such beautiful backing vocals. I'm seeing them live in 7 days!!!!

[@jamesvseverything5974]

It’s been 11 years but how was it?

[@ethannape2699]

How was the show

[@dewimatthews6037]

He's also a fine Producer.

[@kdarko88]

Seeing them in concert twice this weekend in Berkeley! Granted, without Rostam.

[@AlexandKelsie]

The girl playing the violin looked like she was having fun :) I love watching people play violin. They're always so energetic and graceful-looking

[@palmerj0901]

This was right when I got back into the rhythm of watching Conan. This song has been in my catalog since.

[@mak2144]

Easily, one of the 10 best tracks of the decade...Awesome performance here by a very young VW. All they do is keep getting better, it's been an incredible ride thus far, keep it coming boys, much love, from your neighbor down in Philly.

[@nicholasfierstos1061]

11 years later and they’ve released quite possibly their best material they’ve done.

[@circlemaximus]

amazing. the drummer is really going for it on such a slow song

[@JonathanPoto]

Very ringo

[@wally2714]

She nailed that violin solo. She's amazing.

[@aver661]

ITS A VIOLA 😭

[@rockymntain]

This is the best arrangement of this song that I've heard so far. Good job Vampire Wkd, NBC and the C.O'Brian show directors!

[@carolmatt00]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard....:-)

[@ir0nfistalex]

The ending sequence has infinite replayability.. never gets old

[@RicardoMartinez-zj7bv]

Oh I remember watching this in 2020 now its 2050 and every one is dead except me and my computer

[@the_arizona_ranger0213]

Black

[@AiDaN91]

I love cona,n he doesnt only shake the hands of the singer, he talks to the whole band.

[@DeviledEggs5446]

One of my favorite songs rn! It’s 2023. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@tomjoad1234]

Man, this is like one of the best songs i've heard for 10 years.

[@whiteflash1323]

How any body can dislike this blows my mind. These dudes are FANTASTIC.

[@alwaysfallingshort]

I think certain people are having a hard time appreciating the relaxing trip they turned this song into. It's mellow and melodic, and sounds great at cruising speeds over the dashboard speakers.

[@Mishka305]

ty for uploading this

[@rarethen9]

oh the memories

[@drax14QC]

Amazing closer to the album.. the strings section is a really nice touch.

[@frostydude116]

I love Ezra's high notes

[@Senriam]

I love the little bit of “raw” sound when he hits the apex of his range

[@jasonsmith7262]

I love it every damn time I watch it

[@jamsee1]

This song is incredibly poetic and full of beauty... adore 😍

[@ClearandHealthyBoundaries]

It sure is!

[@ImShard]

I'm in love with Koenig's guitar.

[@jaishalattacks]

one of their best imo

[@jaishalattacks]

without a doubt one of the best bands on the planet atm

[@swisherboi]

That floor tom sounds so good!

[@oliveoil5278]

It must be so fucking hard to pick a song to play on a show like this or whatever where they have one opportunity to show everyone who they are since their music is so diverse u can't put a pin on it.

[@eoipa]

love love love the viola solo

[@yaroo423]

The song makes me homesick any time I listen to it. Hi Rostam good job also thanks your mom on my behalf (little friend) for the great cookbook she published that able me to make Persian food for my kids and American wife specially the baklava, thank you.

[@Tomko401]

Love the strings in this song

[@beneemna4429]

I love this 💜🎻🎧 In my opinion one of their best songs

[@KissyCrissy]

These Guys Are Gonna Go Far! I Can Feel It

[@dimonai01]

+Cristian Jimenez you're being ironic right?

[@KissyCrissy]

+john doe yep haha! This band rocks

[@dimonai01]

Cristian Jimenez that song came out almost a decade ago...

[@Sentraman4]

i like rostam's scarf. it's so badass. and only keyboardists can pull it off. kudos to rostam and cheers to having been introduced to these dudes.

[@emilysaraahhh]

Man this was the 1st time I ever heard of Vampire Weekend and I loved it THANK YOU COCO! ;D

[@Quackster606]

they did an amazing job, great performance

[@Heyitspat]

Agree, Love this type of music.

[@rockymntain]

Agreed. It's amazing what a studio full of electronics and instruments can do. And, quite possibly most artists get worn out on tour.

[@mac3686]

they are so great!!!!

[@neilg7804]

Absolutely love this song - just haven't got a flipping clue what the words mean!

[@jaymielutz]

Ezra's voice is amazing!

[@jjstacknik]

anyone who knows early XTC..this will remind you! love it!

[@Chandlerkg11]

Solid musicianship

[@geetarman13]

I fucking love this band!

[@cwilliamsmus]

@bmpsound4 well done for correcting my error. im very impressed, you must be a musical genius for spotting that mistake.

[@machetemonkey]

my favorite part is how the whole band is so chill and relaxed looking except the drummer. I mean, that's not an insult, it's just kind of funny how obviously into it he is. I'd be like that too if I were playing the song. It's relaxing but just feels so badass to drum.

[@MrMojoRisin22]

Talent level was never in question here.

[@soverignofno]

THE DRUMMER IS A BOPPIN' BADASS

[@MsKatieV]

Haha! Thanks. :)

[@gohan9220]

@danielodyssey he was a character in a movie the singer made that their band is named after

[@solidus32]

i wish i had cable so i could watch conan again

[@088l]

i think the guy playing the cello is the same guy from the acoustic sessions they did w/juliard trained musicians.

[@Polletross]

@Chandlerkg11 very agreed. these guys are just good musicians. they can incorporate a lot of awesome sounds and instruments!

[@dewimatthews6037]

Viola voilà !

[@AustinLoweBorne]

More talented than people who don't wear scarves inside most of the time. Count it.

[@lildrumski]

the scarf indoors says it all

[@shegwin]

@emoxgal123 actually its a violinist, a violist is somebody who plays the viola.

[@2ndtoJohn]

They do. It's due some time this fall :)

[@fallensniper15]

man he has the exact same voice thats on the album, in fact it sounds exactly like the album, thats how u knw they r good

[@TheGodMan69]

their bassist is the best

[@davidhipo3396]

Lyrics: A devastating backstroke All the way from France With shiny, shiny cufflinks A shirtsleeve to enhance The pin-striped men of morning Are coming for to dance With pure Egyptian cotton The kids don't stand a chance You criticize the practice By murdering their plants Ignoring all the history Denying them romance The pin-striped men of morning Are coming for to dance Forty-million dollars The kids don't stand a chance I didn't like the business But that was at first glance Your pillow feels so soft now But still you must advance The pin-striped men of morning The partners in the dance The paper's shot to pieces The kids don't stand a chance

[@briannavlogs970]

We’re trapped inside the matrix the kids don’t stand chanc I spelled chance wrong on purpose for copyright reasons

[@brennal1979]

Love the sample of Bach's Cello Suite

[@thegoldenavatar]

I think they sound ten times better live.

[@badlovecomedy]

if you like vampires - you'll love badlovecomedy xx spread the love

[@hewantsrevenge86]

This is the best comment ever!!!!!

[@cwilliamsmus]

that violin solo was fucking impressive.

[@Chandlerkg11]

@DTdall88 I concur as well. Not too many bands I can say that sound fantastic live

[@fooattack]

my dad said the same thing from day one!
