@@samuelvieira645 lmao look at the drummer.... What is the point of pre-recording if you're going to play the exact same music live anyway? Which they clearly are doing.
if lettermen doesn't like you , that means your a great band, that's like a general rule. remember, his favorite band is foo fighters . lame . he shat on at the drive in when they played thier first show on letterman. . i would be insulted if letterman liked my band
Brian Eno is just guy who does synthesizers for bands like u2,david bowie,talking heads famous music producer guys. Seriously,he is an extremely influential figure in Avant-Garde Rock, Ambient music, Electronic music and Pop music in general,he was in Roxy Music, I love this songg!hahaha
Just saw these guys play on Palladia in the 2010 Lollapalooza. WOW. Like I've never heard this or this band? WOW. Like a new Pink Floyd or what? Jesus. This sounds so much like early Pink Floyd. I can't wait to hear what's next from these kids. Time to run out and get their CD's. These kids rock.
I love this song!! Seriously everyone needs to learn to take a joke with mgmts music. Their a serious band that likes to have fun and not act serious. They are hilarious and I love it!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahah James face!!!!! They are amazing! Lovvvvvvveee their new album!!! Siberian breaks is one of my favorites along with all other songs
They sound like the fucking record, unbelievable live performance.
it was recorded wtf
the only live sound is his voice
EVEN better than the album, the jazz interlude pfff' SUPER
@@samuelvieira645 Nope, it's all live
@@samuelvieira645 you must be deaf to not know the sound difference lol besides do you really think band like mgmt would ever play minus one?
@@samuelvieira645 lmao look at the drummer.... What is the point of pre-recording if you're going to play the exact same music live anyway? Which they clearly are doing.
Maybe all heroes do wear capes
Oh fuck off!!!
Haven't you ever heard of Spiderman???
Think before you speak, you putrid skidmark!!! 🙃
Many of them are invisible.
@@Mercury-Wells go fuck yourself
@@Mercury-Wells it was a joke you literal sheet of paper
@@3Harmonies1001 What he said was also a joke
Drummer is a beast for keeping up that tempo the whole song. Drum rolls sounded clean
Unreal performance!! This album congratulations has been one of the greatest gifts in my life
"And now you can have more fun watching them on the web thing, so enjoy that."
-David Letterman
this track, unbelievable live performance. this album congratulations is a masterpiece of psychedelic pop music. influential album
I love at the end that they play a discordant “light my fire” riff.
omg that didn't even click I had to go back😭
BRIAN ENO! WHAT DOES HE KNOW!! stuck in my head lmao
Amazingly this band doesn't sound terrible live. Rare thing these days.
they're maybe the best show you can see today.
they used to sound like shit live back in 08
well you'll have to get over that. they're as if the beatles and pink floyd had a baby
@@brandonbreitkreuz8137 but pink floyd is a baby of the Beatles, making that incest. Seems accurate actually.
Daniel LMFAO that’s the most accurate description of them😂😂😂
I love how they wore capes again, just like they did their first time on Letterman (which was apparently completely on the whim that first time)
One of if not my favourite song of all time so far. It's just perfect. Simple as that
This is the best MGMT performance I've ever seen.
Andrew.
Stop being so good.
I can't.
I Love you
They will always be my favorite band, no one can even touch them. 😈🖤
almost to the point of tears, THEY ARE SO FUCKING AMAZING
So nice to see appreciation for the genius of Eno
2:39 god that sounds so good
andrew and his baby guitar. nothing could be more freaking adorable. Like I want to cry
adam sandoval the baby guitar he smashed at the end
I cannot believe they played this on lettermen! Fucking legends. They sound godly live too I hope they come back to Detroit soon
Yeah this is a deep cut on an underrated album, so I’m glad the band like this song as much as we do!
I love how Andrew smashed that little guitar
James is hilarious I love watching his funny faces he makes. He did it during SNL and even when I saw MGMT live.
i love how letterman is so clearly not into this lol
Hahaha that cracked
Me up so wonderful
Didn't seem like it was his day in general lol.
if lettermen doesn't like you , that means your a great band, that's like a general rule. remember, his favorite band is foo fighters . lame . he shat on at the drive in when they played thier first show on letterman. . i would be insulted if letterman liked my band
Congratulations is their best album. Fight me. Actually don’t fight me. Be peaceful instead. Let’s wear capes.
Yeah I can’t beleive it didn’t come out to more critical acclaim
Ok why is this performance so perfect
their performances got so much better!
I was 19 when this came out. Peak hipster era, but this album and song were so slept on. They got unfairly dropped so quick.
I’ve only got to see MGMT perform once and they didn’t do this song. I would looove to hear this live.
at last, a band that feels artistically free to express itself, not just a cookie cutter band like alot of others!!!
Brian Eno is just guy who does synthesizers for bands like u2,david bowie,talking heads famous music producer guys. Seriously,he is an extremely influential figure in Avant-Garde Rock, Ambient music, Electronic music and Pop music in general,he was in Roxy Music, I love this songg!hahaha
This video makes me sad. MGMT was and still is a great band, but everybody forgot about them in the snap of a moment.
+Greasy McNasty They're gems of our generation's music. They still have a lot of fans but I'm just extremely eager to listen to a new album from them.
+Qualmify they're working on one!!!!! (:
I know. I'm pissing my pants with excitement. I also heard they were working one something with Mac DeMarco. I'm dying with anticipation.
they're back in the studio!
Yeah they kinda disappeared but this summer I'm excited because they are coming out with a new album!
The fact that they're wearing capes makes them so much more awesome!
Bro I love this band but what the fuck was that ending lmao I love it
This is one of the few times I've seen their vocals being mixed properly live
Brian Eno should produce the next MGMT album... that would be so amazing
what happen to the performance "Brian Eno" MGMT did on SNL?? I loved that performance, it used to be on youtube now i can't find it
Dan D NBC got it
Clearly people don't get that the capes are a reference to the actual Brian Eno... Who wore them on stage with Roxy Music in the early '70s...
Just saw these guys play on Palladia in the 2010 Lollapalooza. WOW. Like I've never heard this or this band? WOW. Like a new Pink Floyd or what? Jesus. This sounds so much like early Pink Floyd. I can't wait to hear what's next from these kids. Time to run out and get their CD's. These kids rock.
Absolutely beautiful
OMG 0:43 Gary oldman in Fifth element in the background
The faces andrew makes is cute haha
Jake Gyllenhaal on vocal and Gary Oldman on drums.
i'd say he looks more like topher grace than jake gyllenhaal
He’s such a cutie
Cute moment between Ben and Andrew at the end.
HOLY SHIT THEY KILLED IT!!!!!!!! this is actually so sick
Mixing is so great on this
i like the reference to the doors' light my fire at the end of the song... very dope
Hahah the eyebrow at 0:23 when he says Brian Eno. I love you Andrew.
The interpolation of light my fire by the doors at the end was insane
"now you can have more fun watching them..on..on the web thing" i love this. THIS ENDING IS SO NEW, I LOVE IT.
I love james eyebrow raise at the end lol
i love when andrew hands ben the broken guitar. sometimes hes such a little kid and its so cute
So talented all of them
My friend said he hated congratulations. That is what I told the Murder investigators.
Sounds about right!
i love the giant untouched pedalboards. a cherry on top for the message of this song.
They played right after this taping on Live on Letterman for over an hour, so I'm assuming they just brought out most of the rig for this
This performance is unreal
Amazing performance. Sounds exactly like the album version
I know it’s soooo clean!
such a stellar performance!
I love you 💕
There's not enough capes in the world.
Thank God, something different in the mainstream. Thnks MGMT
great song!!!! i love it
Love how he breaks his miniature guitar right at the end, so rock n roll!
Amazing !!!!!
I love this song!! Seriously everyone needs to learn to take a joke with mgmts music. Their a serious band that likes to have fun and not act serious. They are hilarious and I love it!!
mgmt was in a magical place those first two records.. legendary
haha capes = letterman tradition now. at least he shook their hands this time :P cant wait to see you guys in august!
ezra Koenig is rocking the drums
love this song
Brian Eno is the best.
I've been chanting "BRIAN-PETER-GEORGE-JEAN-LE-BAPTIST-DE-LA-SALLE-ENO" as a method to help me fall asleep at night. It hasn't worked yet
Increíble ❤
Andrew voce é lindo demais!! é um menino muito talentoso Deus o abençoe mgm pra sempre!! voce vai longe!!
Brilliant band
damn i miss this on tv, thank god for people and youtube who post up vidoes,
also check out
Hahahahahahahahahahahahah James face!!!!! They are amazing! Lovvvvvvveee their new album!!! Siberian breaks is one of my favorites along with all other songs
one of the most innovative creative intriguing bands of late. and then I wanna see em zoom away superman style for an encore with those capes.
That’s The Second Time They Whipped Out “Light My Fire” On The Letterman Show lol
@thetrueStaub the "outro" is the riff of The Door's "Light My Fire"
I fucking love their new album! His voice is much more better! It sounds more natural and un-synthesized. When they perform live he sounds awsome
Fantastisk! Helt fenomenalt, I LIKE!!!
hahaha that was brilliant ;D
MGMT i'm gonna see you in december AGAIN! :D
i love james
James is so fucking high :D
i love it when Matt jumps at the end.
great band and song
MGMT Is SICK And So Is Brian ENO! "Congratulations" FTW!
Light my fire is by The Doors
great performance
They played part of "Light my fire" by the doors at the end.
Finally - Little Dark Age -- a return to form
Outro MGMT meshing Brian Eno implicit with The Doors end of Light My Fire?
We're always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno!
hard to believe andrew was 27 here. could pass for a 16 year old lol
@SirBarneyGumble Excellent rebuttal. I like how it was filled with facts to back a point instead of just an opinion.
They are wearing capes because Brian Eno eore one when he was keyboard player with Roxy Music. If you don't know who they were, they are on you tube.
omg the comeback of the capes!!
The guitarist... again.. .is epic
LMFAO at the guitarist with the beard! He looks like he freaked out!
me encanta esta cancion es lo mejor
OMG THE LAST PART AHAHHA I CANT EVEN
love it :D
