Mix is superb, this is live TV, not a studio.These guys are damn great, solid and tight. Bass player is in a great zone, guitars ride on top, i loved it...must have listened to it 20 times...
My band opened for these guys the week before this at a college and we thought we made it big because we opened for a band that (later) played on Letterman, lol
This band has the Allure!! If it wasnt for this perfomance on letterman i doubt i wouldve ever heard of thease guys! i havent liked any bands from the last 10 years or so, but i luv this!
I'm always surprised when some indie band plays on david letterman. Like does he legit like these bands and listens to them? or this is a way to save money cuz indie is cheaper.
I'm pretty sure he doesn't pick who we wants on. That's up to the promoters and organizers. Also, it's not a matter of cost. Everyone that plays on letterman, does it for the publicity. No one is paid to perform on letterman. I'm sure bands don't mind that, cause hell, they're playing on LETTERMAN. Good band. I just think its awkward when indie bands with youngsters play to a crowd mostly of reserved white old timers
MrWalker1000 I still remember this performance, I stayed up watched this ENTIRE episode of Letterman just for DIIV. I don't think Dave had a say in who plays his show, indie bands making their TV debut are pretty cheap, and DIIV's album came out only a few months before
Letterman genuinely likes alt music. He's gone on record saying so plenty of times. He said that while he was doing the show listening to and talking about music was his main pass time
It actually sounds like the tempo is set higher than the recorded version on purpose. If you listen closely you hear that the delay time on both the lead guitar and bass are set to be faster than on the recording. Half way they do bump up the tempo even further though. Nevertheless I watched this performance by accident four years back and I was in awe.
first youtube comment ever..just thought i'd pipe in cause i know whats wrong with the mix..It's been encoded into Mid Side, but not decoded on the output back to LR..also Mid and Side have been reversed just to screw with it further..Dave and the house band are ok cause they where probably mixing in a seperate control room..sorry for being technical for the people who aren't sound engineers
The reason for the sound was that it was more commercially appealing for the network. Basically "safer". I love the awkwardness when Dave shake's the end.
This is mono duplicated on the 2 sides with around 10db more on the right track. Now idea how this would happen but I honestly doubt it aired like that, must be a recording mistake.
Acoustic, Jandek type music.. It's unlikely its online but I have a few tracks from friends who run small labels in BK (like World War Records etc).. Just dissonant mumbling.. Several months after touring with BF, he's all jangly/punky and upbeat.. Coincidence? Maybe, but I think he obviously realized that that formula was were the money was at, and he's right (for about the next 12 months max). Which is why Im surprised DIIV is popular. This is all so 2008 (or really, 1986)..
its call lo-fi for a reason, they want that fuzzy sound, defines the genre, not to say the mix is perfect, but i feel like the sound they got is what there goin for
"hey guys, can't remember the bpm of our song Doused..."
other guy: "hmm me neither.. but something like 2000 bpm i guess"
"probably"
Colby 2012
it's rock and roll
Gotta finish before the commercial break...
I can't imagine the adrenaline rush from playing Letterman. I get it from playing local dives.
Local diivs
shit i've been calling them div for like 2 years
GiantBlackWomen YEAH OH MY GOD SAME
Haha same!
Same
Same... :/
GiantBlackWomen I love your name
they're playing the song at double speed, on Letterman!
I love them folks.
I love the "I need to pee" moves
if you don't need to pee are you even shoegazin?!
@@lovedeathdiscoThanks for giving new life to a 10 years old comment
@@kamest lmao 🙌🏼🤣 any time
Even Spider-Man loves them
hahhaa yeah dude the amazing spider man 2 peter parker room scene theres a diiv poster
It’s true lol
wow, listen to the studio version of this and come here, the BPM difference is crazy!
Bass player set the pace here.. and he set it fast!! I like it !
Mix is superb, this is live TV, not a studio.These guys are damn great, solid and tight. Bass player is in a great zone, guitars ride on top, i loved it...must have listened to it 20 times...
Dam they hit the "sweet spot" !
Legend
I've met them with this song 5 years ago and my life completely changed
Actually remember staying up late that night JUST to see DIIV on TV, thanks for uploading!
Would kill a parrot to be in this band
That scream was awesome
I hope they go back and peform dust
this was wicked. after many repeat listens of the vinyl in the last couple months, glad to see it come off so great live.
My band opened for these guys the week before this at a college and we thought we made it big because we opened for a band that (later) played on Letterman, lol
I MEAN.. you opened for Diiv bro thats pretty timelessly rad!!
This is so great for them, they deserve the attention. Awesome performance!
I love this live version, wish the album version sounded like this.
This band has the Allure!! If it wasnt for this perfomance on letterman i doubt i wouldve ever heard of thease guys! i havent liked any bands from the last 10 years or so, but i luv this!
Really liking this band, hope we dont have to wait too long for a new LP
haha looking back this is funny

MrWalker1000 why no both?
I'm pretty sure he doesn't pick who we wants on. That's up to the promoters and organizers.

Whatever the reason it's cool but it's not unique to Letterman either other talk show hosts do it
Letterman genuinely likes alt music. He's gone on record saying so plenty of times.
He said that while he was doing the show listening to and talking about music was his main pass time
nice to see some bands that can actually play their instruments on late night television again!
Mikey Curtis What’s an “instermint?”

Yes, it's one of the best late night performances I've ever seen. They killed this song - challenged themselves.

estan d teloneros d depeche mode
1980 go back. Love this sonority. amazing.
Rock on Bro top tune oor boy Cobain wuda been proud!

I like them. Cross between Sonic Youth and The Cure. Bringing back the 90s.
I love these guys
Goddamn they are so talented.

Great as always from these guys!
I don't think they ever get the tempo right live
nah they just play all of their songs faster live
They don't even want to haha
Now it’s different…
This makes me jittery in a good way !!
That bass sounds awesome
Excelente! Me encanta
looks like Cole needs to pee most of the time, i love it
Great band
Yay!!!
Estos de DIIV son unos crack!
in love.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
Great!
The fucking energy of this band is amazing.
I still without believe they already appear on Letterman's show!!! Now I'll wait for Beach Fossils
essa apresentação é muito foda \m/
Letterman casi siempre tan bien acompañado.
GENIALES!
2:52 great melody
Great job guys!
wanted to go to their live show someday!
Muito bom 💨
DIIVUHH
relevance still
Late to the gravy train, but glad to be on this one ;)
nice! now bring on Beach Fossils, And Wild Nothing
They sound like: Wipers - The Circle. Another great recording to check if you like these guys.
+Emil Phoryew They really don't.
sick band.
The reason for the sound was that it was more commercially appealing for the network. Basically "safer". I love the awkwardness when Dave shake's the end.
thanks louis
who gives a shit about the mix. you guys are all bops. this is rad.
Oh yeah
oh fcuk how fast is...:)
it could be nerves as well, not uncommon for a first TV appearance
they usually play their shows faster... they wouldn't play it so accurately if it was nerves
one word : cocaine
will see them at big day out 2014!!
Letterman is so cool.
the mix is unbelievable, what the fuck
DIIV Show! !
tremendo
great bass line
Cool
Kudos man
devin is really creepy
that’s why he’s gone!
@@huuuuuuuu175 oh fuck off, its cuz SJWs cant handle 4chan. devin is a chill dude
This is mono duplicated on the 2 sides with around 10db more on the right track.
Now idea how this would happen but I honestly doubt it aired like that, must be a recording mistake.
I was "like" #667. Couldn't leave it there. Oh, btw, song is sick!
Далаадно =)) Круто!
This is the only performance on Letterman by kids where he doesn't say, "Don't neglect your studies".
I don't think so, he's actually screaming on the mic at 1:50...
yeeeah comfy pants
I hope he doesn't end like kobain.
Andres Romero Good band, but nowhere near Cobain’s level.
He got clean!!!
Braun Knew thank god !
Zachary got clean now, better life with bettet wife, the new record is totally masterpiece, u should check it
Acoustic, Jandek type music.. It's unlikely its online but I have a few tracks from friends who run small labels in BK (like World War Records etc).. Just dissonant mumbling.. Several months after touring with BF, he's all jangly/punky and upbeat.. Coincidence? Maybe, but I think he obviously realized that that formula was were the money was at, and he's right (for about the next 12 months max). Which is why Im surprised DIIV is popular. This is all so 2008 (or really, 1986)..
DKFM BROUGHT ME HERE
The first few seconds of the song David (bassist) looks so creepy
+TheWulfe17 his name's devin
devin ruben perez to be exact :p
heard he says some pretty cool stuff on 4chan sometimes
Ephrem Goldstein lol yeah he's on it all the time
I haven't used the word n00b in a loooong time... and here many people belong to that category....
its call lo-fi for a reason, they want that fuzzy sound, defines the genre, not to say the mix is perfect, but i feel like the sound they got is what there goin for
Whoa, slow down the tempo guys wtf lol
Nah faster its more cool to me
Whoever thinks the mix is bad probably hasn't seen DIIV perform live before....
In mono, you're completely right.
But having most of the mix hard panned right while the echo is hard panned left is just awful
nice moves
Major sound technical difficulties, the levels are waaaay off, not the bands fault
This is pretty huge for these guys.. I hope Cole is doing OK these days, and has cleaned up a bit.
ya i hope he's hooked on methadone too
he's like a year clean or so, amazing
Doused version Punk? :V (why it's too fast?)
because its better...
it's not your typical "indie" band guys
En vivo la tocan más rápido bkn!
The long-awaited comeback of Grunge under the guise of hipster teens playing cold wave
perhaps i would've liked it more if it sounded more aggressive but i still love it
the bassist is well good!
He's like the gay version of Kurt kobain haaaa
HAAAA
kurt cobain was openly gay
Recipe For Hate haha, where you read this?
Adrianna Zając he made it up obviously kurt had a wife and kid lol
Adrianna Zając
he told it to me a year ago
nothing new under the Sun . play joy division At double speed . cept They were great. these guys so so or soho
the bass sounds too clean
They should of played sometime
fuuukkkk yeeee
