Is it a good thing that they're true to their recordings? I've never understood why people like that aspect of a band. I've heard the recording, I'd like to hear something a bit different or at least with more dynamics live
@@dubnessIII Why? I mean, I get it to a certain extent, but if you like a song then you like *that* song, why would you want to go along and hear it performed differently to the way you like? Possibly for the worse.
@@WilliamKilbride The sax is sampled. Baio is controlling all of the sax samples with the 12-step foot controller by his pedal board. You can also see him using this board to trigger other samples in the song (the chopped drum samples and synth breakdown)
Damn, I saw them live in brooklyn and from what I saw, CT is the 'bad ass' of the group, Chris Baio has got a pretty sick move playing his bass, Rostam is the darling of the group, Ezra is just the hypnotizing one of the group with his stare and little smirks. Oh and I caught his guitar pick, so that was flippin' awesome!!
Declan Cochran they did a great job reenacting it live. It's just that the production was so perfect, there's no way a subpar SNL audio mix can compare.
I didnt read your comment, but having your name be bob loblaw, and having dwight schrute as your picture is the combination of 2 of the most awesome things ever. thankyou.
I agree but from what I've seen most bands that play Saturday Night Live aren't moving around a lot due to the lack of space on stage. Watch Vampire Weekend's live set from Lollapalooza, they're a lot more energetic there.
Love how they still did the pitch shift thing live :D
TheGooseinator he has one of his sound engineers maneuver a pitch shifting vocal effect off stage for him
@@nathanielmejia1369 Rostam is the one doing it actually, you can see him adjusting the formant shifting module during the breakdown.
@ebenritchie746 that's sick good eye
Ezra looks damn FINE in his suit. But, then again, he always looks good.
I just LOVE the pitch change in this song and the fact that they do it every time they perform this song live is awesome!
i could feel his anxiety towards the beginning , they did so well though, one of the few bands who are true to their recordings
Beatrice Blair yeah, they never seem this tense live even when someone badly messes up

They are so good live. It's so pure.
That's totally somethin an Ewok would say LOL
@@sirarthurfrentzel1434 ram ranch
Wow his voice is quite incredible live. Sounds just like the recording.
He has such a low register, I mean wow!
That man has a nice face. It is a good face, an excellent face indeed.
***** I stand by my previous statement.
I can agree that ezra has a very nice face
wavyluna or maybe a toblerone
Ok Buffalo bill
OH MY GOD I NEVER KNEW THEY WERE SO GOOD IN LIVE IM DYING
I like his face.
Same here
me too
Ok Buffalo bill
That sax player in the background!
looked too me like he was faking it. I think that was synth-sax
+Kelly Lowder he's actually playing, but he has a pedal that distorts his sound.

This is the best live performance of this song I've seen so far
Ezra's face right as they cut to them! Priceless!
i analyze this video every night before i go to sleep
bro
Still analyzing? 😂
Thank you internet for keeping these performances on SNL. Pure magic gold.
Its so absolutely adorable that he stands on his tip-toes when he sings

Do you still have it?
ezra is a babe
My god I finally saw them live in okc after listening to them for 6 years...I can die at peace now. One of the best true live singers prob in history
I haven't wanted to see a band so badly in concert as I have with vampire weekend. It hurts me that they never go south
one of the things i really like about Ezra is that him singing live doesn’t sound that different from the recorded song
love that way of bringing the plectrum between index and middle finger.......
Ezra's out fit is on flick
+Drew Hooper flick? you mean... fleek...
+adza botchway thanks man XD
Drew Hooper lmao
***** ???????????????????????????what the fuck is wrong with you??????????????????????????????? stupid, worthless piece of racist shit. blocked
love the bass saxophonist
i love this song, but i think it's one of those songs that only really works with that studio sparkle
agreed
toast
Declan Cochran they did a great job reenacting it live. It's just that the production was so perfect, there's no way a subpar SNL audio mix can compare.
Love Ezra face
omg his eyes!!!!!!
Reminds me of 50s rock n' roll. Love the sax, too!! Great song.
i'm gonna apply for a job as an SNL sound engineer...apparently there is very weak competition in that field
IMPERATIV XVII how are they so bad almost every time for ALL THESE YEARS!??
They have the worst sound engineers in late night television.
When I think about it the engineers they hire are probably clean cut mediocre people with no talent
11 years later and their Gen-X Cops performance proves that SNL still haven't upgraded
Theyre amazing live
I always hear the word "enchilada" during the chorus
I'm just fangirling constantly over the bass sax in the background.
That bari sax is killin' it! LOVE this song
i wish we could elect Ezra the President of THE WORLD
They always make me smile, and my cheeks hurt now
Your picture and the comment....I just can't contain myself haha oh my god
"you've got the luck of a kennedy" holy fuck that is a funny way of saying someone is unlucky haha
I wish calling me Baby baby!!! 😢😄
ezra can get it
omg the smirnoff commercial came on and this song was in it, inception
They are so adorbs
Love this band especially because they perform live on point ! :)
Ezra’s voice is so good
love dese guys. dese guys should keep on sparklin'.
he's perfect
His voice alone makes me love him
they are so great
Man they are so great :/ I wanna see em
Heard this song and was like ahhh I started singing it afterwards so catchy. They are such a great band, so under rated though.
I like this a lot.
Holy crap that bass sax sounds killer
Ahhhhh I LOVE IT!
This song ROCKS!
one of my favorite songs of 2013.
I would hug these dudes
man I've just watched an interview from 2019 and this is from 2013. he is EXACTLY THE SAME
Amazing song rock 😎😎😎😎
Didn't notice! thanks!!!
Wow! The effect on the baby post is much clearer in its goal of aging his voice here (the first time) than on the album.
AHAHAHA he is trying not to laugh when the voice effects start in the chorus!! :D
Ct is rocking the drums!
his eyessssss
IM SO HAPPY
So fucking dynamic, love this track! Song of the year so far.
His voice is so much higher and more choppy in real life, but its not bad.
aahh! didn't notice! thanks!
SAW YOU YESTERDAY AND STILL CRYING
cannot wait to see them live in may
cries
Dont know what vampire weekend is. This is Justin Trudeau performing with his high school band
College band
You’re kinda right.
Lol where’s the black face
If it was Tradeau he would be trampling civil rights in the name of "diversity and equity"
look at the giant horn player in the back you can't argue with that.
Great song. Catchy.
I love you Erzaaaaaaa, you make me so happy!!!!
Watching this again and at that arm at 1:43 I was like ...slick
perfection♥
EZRA IS SO ADORABLE
Love this performance

I didnt read your comment, but having your name be bob loblaw, and having dwight schrute as your picture is the combination of 2 of the most awesome things ever. thankyou.

I LOVE the way after he does the verse before the next one starts how he just kinda stands there and rocks his leg

ICONIC
Killer Sax. He's got a kick starter.
I can't believe they were on snl. Way to go.

Ezra looks so happy at 0:10 . . . Makes me happy.

bass sax, fuck yeah
Reminds you of me? Splendid!
That guy with the large sax made me laugh so hard
After reading your comment I feel the same 📖😂🤣😉🙏
Dude was working hard to steal the show. I thought he was great. Did as good a job as any PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN could, I'm sure.
