I'll take all of that you've got!
Oh! I understood that reference!
All joking aside, I just had the pleasure of seeing these guys in concert tonight, and I'm absolutely stuck in the effin beam. First time I'd ever even heard of em wasn't more than six hours ago and I'm a fan for life...
This
YES!!!
I like it a lot
Letterman nailed it
This man brought back stage presence. What a legend, he always makes people cry in shared joy during the concerts.
We got to see them at Red Rocks this summer and it was great. At one point he got caught up in the cables and completely ate it. Just got right back up and kept going like nothing happened. It was a great show overall, just one funny moment.
I've watched quit alot of video's of these guys, you can say the lead singer is a bit weird, but you have to admire him, for keeping things intense and spell bounding.
@@mydogsnameisbob I was there as well and his story of assing out in Denver once before was priceless. Trying to impress Morrissey. God this band never ceases to amaze.
Funniest thing I’ve read all day. The singer and the band are trash.
@@rokrV everyone is entitled to their opinion…meanwhile I can’t stop watching 🤩
This song has so many angles of greatness. ! WOW! nice progressive build and melody, and then there is the story He tells in Lyrics. Glad to have found this one.
Ten years later!! I’ll take all of that you got. ❤
haah I remember that one
I don't know what affected me the most..... the song, the striptease, the dance moves, or the penetrating stare at the end. But i am here for ALL OF IT. Still one of the best concerts I have ever seen live.
came for the song and dance, pleasantly suprised by the strip tease 😂
I couldn't agree more! Love this band! The raw emotion, the dancing....I'm a fan forever!
Well said.
Penetrating
And his big nachotas 😅😅
Samuel T Herring is a legend, not many can match the pure energy and passion he has on stage
He’s the King of Soul
Not many? Understatement. Who is close to him?
@@zigner The guys from Moon Hooch. That's about it though. They have a similar, but very different genius to them. I've cried at many of their live shows.
@@zigner although different genre but similar energy from John Dwyer (OSEES)
passion on stage? lol ok whatever
That bass is their special mark that I can recognize everywhere. I LOVE THEM!
And then the velvet voice hahah
Bass voice & synth. All full of character individually and uniquely special when combined.
Use to be an early promoter for this band in Baltimore when they first came up and the indie art scene was blowing up with the likes of Wham City. Makes me so proud to see them continue to soar on a mainstream level!
I was too much into the DC scene playing in bands around their beginnings in Baltimore. It's too bad I did not make it up north much during that time. They're one of my favorites these days.
🥳🥴🤯☝
It's a great band!
Here, in México, They have Many fans
Baltimore guy here love these people….so good. Also check out there other band Snails
Incredible if true
I discovered that band when they played "Seasons" on the same stage years ago and they killed it. It was the Letterman show back then.
Yep. That Letterman show was where I first found out about them. Been a fan ever since.
Saaaame
Ditto!
Even Letterman was clearly in awe of that performance.
I remembered Dave got a kick out of the lead singer! He even ended the show with the World Wide Pants logo and him dancing around! 😆
As a longtime Future Islands fan - I implore all to seek out their In Evening Air album and absolutely, positively go see them live ❤️
Agree!
My wife and I fell in love with that album playing on repeat. It’s absolutely magical.
For me it was when I first heard the song little dreamer, probably from searching itunes for new music like I used to do. Heard that song, THAT voice, and that was it. Forever fan. Lol. Next is to hopefully one day see them live. Im STILL upset I missed the chance to see their show with their last tour! I won't miss it next time theyre in my neck of the USA.
And I already adore this song❣️💃🤙
I want to see them live so bad but it doesn’t look like they’ll be playing anywhere near Houston in 2022 😭😭😭
Vireo`s eye is my favorite of the evening air album. Amazing song!
When these guys first came out, I only watched for his dancing. Over the years, the music grew on me. Excellent song. Beautiful eyes.
The bass in this song is so good. He plays a simple line but kind of bounces around the notes. I can't really explain it, but then I can't really explain why I love this band so much x
Samuel T. Herring always brings it. Catch them live if you can, it’s magical.
saw em with modest mouse in dallas about 3 months ago. i passed around a j during covid season. noone cared they were all drunk. it was glorious
brought tears to my eyes and I FINALLY GET TO SEE YOU LIVE THIS MARCH AFTER ALMOST 8 YEARS OF BEING A FAN GODDAMIT LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
ah man thats awesome! ENJOY! truly my favorite band to see live
they are sooo good, hope ya have fun
When and where!?!?!?!
Me too!!! Can’t wait, I love Ally Pally
just saw them twice front row in Dublin and got to fist bump Sam during inch of dust :)))
one of the best bands I've ever seen if they come to town GO SEE THEM!!!
There won’t ever be another man like Sam, he literally puts his all into every performance and it warms my heart to see someone so passionate about the story and music they’re sharing
I was in the recording with my husband. We spent our honeymoon in New York and we were lucky to get tickets to attend the Late Show.
We didn't know anything about Future Islands before, but after this performance, they have 2 new fans.
I wish they return to Chile soon, so we can see them here.
That’s so cool!
I am a huge fan too!! But, why was everyone there wearing masks?
So cool, and so lucky!! What was the crowd like? I bet that would be so cool to experience!!
This performance was my first exposure to them. I was channel surfing and was glued to it. How did I miss this band for so long. Great performance here.
Best live band of our time. I'm 40.
there's nothing like watching some Future Islands in the morning and seeing Sam spill out his sick dance moves to an audience. God I need to see them live again!!
Saw these guys at Red Rocks and they were amazing. Sang every song.
Just incredible! The vocal range, the musicians, the moves, the passion, the song writing... yeah, I'll definitely take all of that you got!
Just watched the Stephen Colbert Show where I heard “King of Sweden”. It was worthy of a second play. So, here I am enjoying this music once again..
watched it ten times already.
The song “grows on you” … the more you hear it, the more you like it
Never fails to make me happy. An original in a world of cut n paste pop stars.
Before they started to play, THAT was NOT at ALL how I thought the performance would go. What a treat for the senses it ultimately turned out!
Be sure to watch their prior Late Show performance from the Letterman days. th-cam.com/video/GK4lD3Uf8_o/w-d-xo.html
I discovered this band from the Titane soundtrack...been hooked ever since.
these guys were incredible live. they opened for modest mouse in Dallas last year and i had never heard of them. the lead singers stage performance was WILD. he was all over the stage, jumping, flipping his legs around and still freaking singing! it was insanely cool to witness.
Awesome
I discovered this band 2 years ago from the horror movie "Titaine", they had amazing scene with The Lighthouse and I knew I was listening to my new favorite band. I now have so many memories on trips, at the beach, hiking, and driving to Future Islands. I love you Future Islands.
I found them the same way. I've been through some of the toughest times in my life these past couple of years and they keep getting me through.
The moment I heard that retro-wave 80s synth I knew I would love this song. 80s synth was so ahead of its time.
😁
First time hearing of this band, what a performance! I've binged their videos and albums now, definitely going to order some LPs! A new favorite, wow, just wow.
Saw them live in London last night and this song hit so hard. I've never seen a performer of any discipline (actor, musician etc) perform with such sincerity and consistency. He's in a leagye of his own. ❤️
Wow
Summer of 2021 I watched them live at a show. Sam gave 100% in the first second and continued to give more and more energy through out the show.
It was intense and memorable - need you guys back here in Wisconsin again!
I have watched this more than a few times. So powerful. I feel that I need to see them live before he blows out a knee. 😁
He actually tore his ACL in 2015 and never had it repaired
🙏🏻
Always good to see artists really feeling their music.
Love, love, LOVE this band! They are always entertaining to watch. Dance on Sam!
Always love their energy. Nice to see live _anything_
HOLY CRIPES 🤯
WHAT DID I JUST WATCH!?!
This is the BEST THING I've heard in YEARS!!!!!!
Am I dreaming?
I had had the exact same response.
A true breath of fresh air in these dismal times!
Take care, Denise.
Welcome to the Future Island's Universe
You should also see the performance they did on David Letterman. That performance was mind-blowing.
No, they're just that good - go stream or download their albums, you won't regret it!
If you wanna stay in your dreams… th-cam.com/video/GK4lD3Uf8_o/w-d-xo.html
Always a sight to see ! Them boys put on the best shows! Catch one of their gigs you won’t be disappointed
Two certainties in life.. the sun coming up tomorrow and Future Islands bringing IT every time they perform 👏👏👏👏
Yes!!! The wonderful musical trends of the 80s are returning! These guys are great! Remind me a little of Berlin and Psychedelic Furs
And Roxy Music, and Ultravox, and KPH, and so many of the great early (not necessarily melodramatic) New Wave bands.
March can’t come quick enough to watch these guys live! Truly amazing band
i'll be front row at the first dublin gig :)
@@TheRabidDolphin99 I’ll be needing some reviews, sold out in Dublin twice :) and sold out in Newcastle where I’ll be going :)
31 more sleeps till Manchester, can't wait!!!
Never a bland moment with Future Islands, emotional , powerful , and beatiful
What a mesmerizing and passionate performance! Intense,raw and joyful energy.
I can't even say how amazing this is. The emotions that are moved within me...this is art.
Only discovered them last yearbut totally obsessed! Seeing them in 🇬🇧 in March...can't wait!
Deeply moving...always....just completely different to anything out there and I love it! ❤️ ❤️
I love this song. I just found out about this band through this song playing on radio. This man has a great variety of voices and expressions
Love the little confetti moment love this band love the dancing man love this song love love love
Another great band I didn’t know. Thanks Colbert and team !
If you ever have a chance to see this band live, do it. They are absolutely incredible and sound amazing. They deliver every single time.
Ive loved this band since they performed on letterman. Awesome bass line, great vocals
Herring is the man.
I got my husband surprise tickets for the October show in Atlanta. It was truly an experience I wish I could live in forever. Such wonderful energy and he just kept playing forever! It was definitely worth everything.
Spent countless nights listening & dancing to Future Islands in Uni, some incredible memories. such an incredible performer
What a great performance, man I'm glad I like Colbert and discovered them and pissed that they passed under my radar so many years
Future Islands' live performances always leave me with goosebumps. I remember seeing them live at the beachland ballroom in CLE and was just blown away by Sam's theatrics. Dude is a legend, along with the whole group!
Love it when a vocalist/musician feels the music in their core.
I shot / covered Future Islands prior to them blowing up in a little bar in Long Beach, California (Alex's) when they used a drum machine not a drummer. SAM's onstage presence was not only mesmerizing but somehow imitating, brazen and sultry. Then I knew he and the band were one of the most unique bands in the last quarter of a century.
Pure magic. Thank you beyond thank you. Words cannot approach. Tears of joy.
Saw them at a secret show before the Far Field came out and they give all of that plus more at every show. I accidentally got lucky enough to speak with Sam - we were waiting in line together and I was like "Oh, sh*t, hey man", completely starstruck and didn't know what to say... But he is an awesomely humble dude as well and full of so much good energy.
Future Islands is still my favorite show to go to.
I will never forget seeing Future Islands for the first time performing on Jools Holland in 2014. Wow!
The band captivates; Samuel is hypnotic! So much beauty and joy!!!
How have I not seen these guys before... WOW
What a performance! I discovered Future Islands from this episode of Colbert and have been a fan ever since. These gentlemen always deliver. 💯
Been following Future Islands for years. Loving the new single and Samuels New moves. Can't wait to see you I'm Manchester next week.
I think their new one is their best, hooked after a couple of listens. Greta album.
Holy shitt!!! Yet another great performance! My face is covered in emotional tears. One of the greatest performers of all time, no doubt in my mind.
🥰😍
I don't think I could love these guys more than I already do...
It was about 20 years ago now that I first saw Sam perform when he was leading a little band called “Art Lord and the Self-Portraits”. Classic early 2000’s house party with a different kind of band playing. Very memorable moment then and I still love to check in on him now. Great performance once again guys!
Can not wait to go and see these in Newcastle end of March been my fav band for around 4 year now.
Seeing them a few days before in Dublin. Living for it
Sooo much love in all these comments. So proud to be a fan and have been super fortunate to meet all the guys over the years. They are all totally lovely❤️
Released this new track on birthday, what would be the chances 🤣
Future Islands have the best talk show performances and Sam has an amazing stage presence. Their Letterman performance of Seasons with those crazy growling vocals he did made me an instant fan.
Looking forward for the next gig here in Germany! ♥️
I LOVE FUTURE ISLANDS!!! So happy to see them back on late night!!
Ohhh you can already tell there’s another banger album coming!!
The passion. The energy. The moves(?). All combine for a great new song. And now the wait for the rest of the album
Future Islands are a pleasure to watch play in a set or a concert, Sam sings so expressively and it really flows through the band as one unit with this crisp cascade of sounds that dare the viewer not to dance or move to the beat or get in a better mindset, and this song sounds like he found his love! 🔥💕🎶
Best band ever! Can't get enough of watching them!!
So glad they made it, remember seeing them at indoor skate park in gvegas several times in late 90s early 2k...
Future Islands are the best ! Awesome new song, awesome performance ! Love love love these guys
I cant deny chills on that first kick in the chorus.
I can’t stop watching this performance. It is all I need.
These guys are epic. For the love of god please come to Florida!
I can’t describe the feeling of seeing this band live. I’ve never seen a frontman like him before in my life. Truly a euphoric experience.
man pours every inch of his being into music.. absolute unbridled love for music
His dancing is total "cant keep me down" energy and i love it.
Love this guy,
so cool and honest with his dancing,
from the heart !! ❤
Found future islands about 6 years ago. I happened to be going through some real tough times back then and the first song I ever heard from them was 'a dream of you and me' . Their music made me happy and would calm my nerves. All these years later and they are one of my favorite bands.
Best thing on Colbert, since forever. Good on ya boys.
What a perfect performance.
Am 18. August sehe ich sie zum ersten mal live!! Was hab ich einen Bock auf diese unfassbar geile Band!!
They are amazing, great new song and wonderful performance
performance again giving me goosebumps
I love these guys on principle alone but this song is a whole level up.
Who’s here because of FC25 🎉
🔥🔥 best song FC25
That intro was so unexpected. Love it
Thank you, guys. You’ve been my favorite band for 10 years ❤️
Dublin Ireland March 28th can’t wait…what a band, and what a new track🤯👌☘️💚☘️💚☘️
Looking forward to seeing you back in the uk.........best frontman alive today
This is wild. I saw these guys in an indoor skatepark in Greenville nc 14 years ago. Still just as good on tv/TH-cam.
Was it Dave mirras?
A treat for the senses. What a song, what a performance, what a band!
Loved this! Can’t wait to see them when they go back on tour. Always a good time!
In this musical world, he is something to reckon with..outlandish on stage, musically and cooing, yelping, shouting..wow
LOVE this band! Herring brings such emotion to his craft and the band is perfect!!
