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

[@Mlugo156]

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

[@palmerj0901]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@circlemaximus]

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

[@JonathanPoto]

Very ringo

[@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....:-)

[@wally2714]

She nailed that violin solo. She's amazing.

[@aver661]

ITS A VIOLA 😭

[@tomjoad1234]

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

[@ir0nfistalex]

The ending sequence has infinite replayability.. never gets old

[@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.

[@DeviledEggs5446]

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

[@rarethen9]

oh the memories

[@drax14QC]

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

[@whiteflash1323]

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

[@AiDaN91]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@ayzoterik]

Vampire Weekend ! Bring back your violinists in your next album(s) PLEASE !

[@heidyjanice8580]

Xander Lanister geniussss!

[@ImShard]

I'm in love with Koenig's guitar.

[@jamsee1]

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

[@ClearandHealthyBoundaries]

It sure is!

[@jaishalattacks]

one of their best imo

[@frostydude116]

I love Ezra's high notes

[@Senriam]

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

[@jaishalattacks]

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

[@jasonsmith7262]

I love it every damn time I watch it

[@beneemna4429]

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

[@Mishka305]

ty for uploading this

[@Valindie]

this album is great. i can't wait for the 2nd!

[@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.

[@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...

[@jasonsmith7262]

Dude, still gets my motor running. It’s 2021

[@swisherboi]

That floor tom sounds so good!

[@Tomko401]

Love the strings in this song

[@lovessexiplexi123]

[@JokerTheSLaughter]

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

[@adrock1011]

i had never heard of them... but saw them on conan and bought the cd IMMEDIATELY... they are awesome... and i'm not even a big indie rock fan

[@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.

[@eoipa]

love love love the viola solo

[@Quackster606]

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

[@Paneeks1960]

Just like heaven!

[@briannahoule9775]

I've never seen CT get so into a song

[@Heyitspat]

Agree, Love this type of music.

[@jaymielutz]

Ezra's voice is amazing!

[@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.

[@chilliflipp]

Love the band! and the new album

[@ganyadus]

SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO GOOD!!! Horchata is amazing..

[@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

[@088l]

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

[@mac3686]

they are so great!!!!

[@ThatScrubGuy]

I might see them soon.!!!!

[@paintbasstard]

I MISS YOU CONAN!!! :'(

[@тина-щ7р]

so coooooooooool!

[@kol2402]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! underatet band

[@ShrikDaddy]

Love it. Can't wait to see them

[@izzzystardust]

now that you pointed it out, you're right!

[@Polletross]

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

[@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.

[@shegwin]

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

[@marigraenn]

CT really gets into the music 2:05 dang!!!! he's so cool!!!!!

[@gohan9220]

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

[@Eliaquim0]

VW IS AWEEEEEESOMEEE!!

[@ohhyea09]

I need to go to a concert!!! :)

[@pogoboy5]

so damn good live

[@cwilliamsmus]

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

[@Wotsefakalta]

[@jjstacknik]

[@geetarman13]

I fucking love this band!

[@MsKatieV]

Love them more than babies.

[@brokeass89]

great song.. listen to the miike snow remix of it... golden

[@texaswhatitdo]

is it just me or is the viola solo the hottest thing

[@pyrofiliac]

@shegwin yeah that's a viola she's playing i should know i play violin and viola

[@Chandlerkg11]

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

[@Chandlerkg11]

Solid musicianship

[@vinyltransport]

so sick !!!!

[@MrMojoRisin22]

Talent level was never in question here.

[@solidus32]

i wish i had cable so i could watch conan again

[@Thorsten_0911]

Man, if I would see those 4 "nerds" on the street I would not even notice them - but due to the fact that they rocked the shit out of this song with Vampire fucking Weekend, they now sparkle!

[@KirkThorntonOne]

@rudolph502 I agree, i once thought they sounded like a mix between the beatles and the beach boys

[@AustinLoweBorne]

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

[@soverignofno]

THE DRUMMER IS A BOPPIN' BADASS

[@brennal1979]

Love the sample of Bach's Cello Suite

[@briannavlogs970]

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

[@hewantsrevenge86]

This is the best comment ever!!!!!

[@GagaBoy1346]

ur right david just like it does on the album

[@uzn88]

@rudolph502 I'm a huge Beatles fan and for some odd reason they remind me of them too.

[@ickyyyyyy]

Fuck yeah viola solo! Glad we're being represented somewhere. :)

[@djcostigan]

this sounds great and it's a fantastic song, but i dunno if i would have picked it to play on late night

[@MsKatieV]

Haha! Thanks. :)

[@cwilliamsmus]

that violin solo was fucking impressive.
