Jeff asks you to sing along at his shows. His words when I saw him in Austin were something along the lines of "why the fuck did I write these songs if you are not gonna sing along with me?"
It's rare to hear a live performer sound exactly like they did in their recording...especially when that recording was over 15 years ago! Jeff hasn't skipped a beat.
Okay, I'm not trying to degrade your comment. He sounds great but he sounds nothing like he did when the album was recorded. I think he sounds different. Not better or worse but definitely different. Now you can say it's better but that's subjective but he does not sound the same. His voice is definitely deeper
Everyone singing together is what makes the live performances so special. If you wanted to hear Jeff, why wouldn't you just go listen to the album? If you were there, you'd have thought it was absolutely magical. And it was.
I feel like the reason the people who are angry about the singing is precisely because they haven't fully felt the beauty of communion They wouldn't feel so angry if they saw the love that's around and in them. Life, baby
Saw him perform in York PA - Jeff asked the crowd repeatedly to sing with him and move closer to the stage. So, even though I would rather hear just him sing...it was kind of sweet that he asks the crowd to sing along. One of the best shows I've ever seen and one of the most memorable for me.
Most people who i have played this album for cannot get into it because of the singing, understandable i suppose but i enjoy Jeff's voice a lot, it's just raw and honest, fits the lyrics and music quite well i would say.
I saw Jeff Mangum at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I got to see them in Austin Texas during their reunion. One of the most amazing memories I've had. Hearing thousands of people sing Two Headed Boy at the top of their lungs, is something I'll never forget. I AM LISTENING TO HEAR WHERE YOU ARRRRRRE!! was absolutely unbelievable
as a musician, it's the nicest thing every when the crowd sings along with me, Jeff is killing it out there they're just being fans... people at concerts sing along, man, they aren't intentionally trying to ruin his show...
What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all 'round the sun What a beautiful dream That could flash on the screen In a blink of an eye and be gone from me Soft and sweet Let me hold it close and keep it here with me And one day we will die And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea But for now we are young Let us lay in the sun And count every beautiful thing we can see Love to be In the arms of all I'm keepin' here with me What a curious life We have found here tonight There is music that sounds from the street There are lights in the clouds Anna's ghost all around Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me Soft and sweet How the notes all bend and reach above the trees Now how I remember you How I would push my fingers through Your mouth to make those muscles move That made your voice so smooth and sweet But now we keep where we don't know All secrets sleep in winter clothes With one you loved so long ago Now he don't even know his name What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all 'round the sun And when we meet on a cloud I'll be laughing out loud I'll be laughing with everyone I see Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all ( Summer 2023 - I'm still dreaming of hearing him once live )
"I miss the ole Jeff Mangum Here with flow Jeff Mangum Set on his goals Jeff Mangum I hate the new Jeff Mangum The bad mood Jeff Mangum The always rude Jeff Mangum Spaz in the news Jeff Mangum I miss the sweet Jeff Mangum Chop up the beats Jeff Mangum I gotta say At that time I'd like to meet Jeff Mangum See I invented Jeff Mangum There wasn't any Jeff Mangum And now I look and look around And there's so many Jeff Mangums What if Jeff Mangum Made a song About Jeff Mangum Called I miss the ole Jeff Mangum MAN THAD BE SO JEFF MANGUM That's all it was Jeff Mangum We still love Jeff Mangum And I love you like Jeff Mangum Loves Anne Frank"
They're perplexing. My ex introduced them to me about 14 years ago when she used to play two headed boy. I was put off by Jeff's voice at first, and there's some painful notes in that song, but his voice has so much emotion. Such simple music really, written and performed with passion.
im so happy i got lyrics from this song tattoo’d on my arm when i was a teenager… fuck those people who say you always regret tattoo’s you get when you’re young.
After reading only a handful of the comments here, it seems that some have issues with others singing at the shows? The following is Mangum's opinion on the topic, or, at the very, least his opinion this is his opinion on the night of Aug 13, 2011. JM : "So, uh...do you, uh...are you guys gonna sing, or no?" Crowd: Enthusiastic assurance they will indeed sing along JM: "There's some bullshit idea that like I don't like people to sing along with my songs. It's like, why the fuck did I write them then?" Crowd: Laughs. Continues to not noticeably sing any louder. JM: (during Two-Headed Boy, Pt. Two) "....I'm still wanting my face on your cheek...FUCKING SING!...And when we break, we'll wait for our miracle..."
Singing along at concerts is awesome when you're there. It really adds to the experience. I guess it doesn't make for the best bootleg recording, but that's not really the purpose of a concert, is it?
i have listen to this band for 4 solid years. really its the only tracks in my ipod. I really need to see this guy again before he goes back into seclusion. I envy everyone who got to see this live with the trumpet. thats no very common
+Christopher Battle Sorry for the late reply, but I think Coraline was asking how you were filming because Jeff Mangum doesn't like people to film his shows. He has said that he wants his performances to be a personal experience between him and the audience. A sea of iphone's doesn't help to do that haha
CreepyZalgo I guess it's subjective, but his reserved nature to me is beautiful. I've seen the band three times and each time he talked sparingly, but with such sincerity and positivity. So many people think he's just a broken, sad mess because he's so quiet, but in reality he seems just like a sensitive nice man. When I saw them in Brooklyn a thunderstorm stopped the concert for 20 minutes or so, and the crowd was furious, but the band finished the set, and at the end Jeff said, "I just want you guys to know that these people here at Prospect Park are just looking out for your safety. I want to give my compassion, my love and my peace to everyone here. I know that in your hearts, you're all beautiful. Have a great night." That was pretty much all he said the entire night. Doesn't depress me at all. And in terms of his appearance, which is again subjective, I think the beard and long hair suit him well. He was in a transition period in this video, but now with the beard at full length and his hair even longer he looks magical.
jeff really wasn't digging performing again. he probably wasn't aware of the band's popularity and the crowds he drew in. i'd almost wager he probably did a few shows for fun but continued to tour as the band was making bank.
Because I enjoy hearing artists perform their music live (?) -- silly question. With regard to crowdvoice, to each their own. I have seen him live. I didn't think the crowd singing was magical, in any way. Jeff and his songs are magical, not the dbag trying to reach Two Headed Boy highs. Glad you enjoyed it.
Did you not read the ticket or signs? This is an artist to experience and not cheapen and ruin by taking a video. those requests for no cameras were not there to stop piracy, it was a specific request from the artist due to his phobias. As much as I honestly love his work and believe that he is one of the most talented and amazing human beings still with us today, I think this video is a crime. Next time, respect the wishes of the artist.
I think I was at this show. And while I understand how it's nice people know all the words... I very much enjoyed it better when I could hear just the music, and not random drunk people singing. I too sang along. But it was sung quietly, not yelled. I was pissed when I had to try my best to make out Jeff's lyrics from him vs the large group of drunk people singing. Yes I like to sing to the music also. Just not so that it overtakes the musicians melody and ruins the concert for everyone else.
I'm just messing with ya a little bit, neutral milk is one of my favorites but I looked at your TH-cam page before commenting and it seems like you're into all the same, cool, "hipster" music and culture that I like. There's so much out there for people to get in to. I would highly recommend picking up neutral milk's "in the areoplane over the sea", probably their best album (if you don't already have it) and give it a few listens. Also, I highly highly recommend a band called The Mountain Goats. The two albums to get are called "Tallahassee" and "The Sunset Tree." The two guys that write the songs for these two bands are probably my pick for best-lyricst-of-all-time. Anyways, have a good one, peace be with you, all that jazz... Oh, The Jazz June- album "the medicine" (their only good album) harder to find but so worth it, just really awesome indie rock. So that's my music picks for today, hope someone checks out the music and likes it!
I already know of The Mountain Goats and yes they kick ass. Last album I got of theirs was Transcendental Youth, great stuff. I got one for you; check out Darlings by Kevin Drew.
I gave it a listen, pretty cool- kinda has almost a Talking Heads vibe. Have you ever heard Islands? Check out their album "Return to the Sea." Its pretty cool. Also, if you can find it definitely check out The Jazz June, the album to get is "The Medicine" (their only good album, but damn is it good!). It might be a little hard to find but you might be able to get it on Pirate Bay. Thanks for trading music with me, I always enjoy talking to someone that knows about/listens to the music I do!
Jeff asks you to sing along at his shows. His words when I saw him in Austin were something along the lines of "why the fuck did I write these songs if you are not gonna sing along with me?"
Awww the horn player is singing along
They have such a fun time performing. Just saw em last night

It's rare to hear a live performer sound exactly like they did in their recording...especially when that recording was over 15 years ago! Jeff hasn't skipped a beat.
Exactly! I’d imagine that if there was no background noise, it would be almost exactly like the recording.
I love it, that was something he wanted to to was make it sound the same
Yeah, Jeff sure is a talented guy
Okay, I'm not trying to degrade your comment. He sounds great but he sounds nothing like he did when the album was recorded. I think he sounds different. Not better or worse but definitely different. Now you can say it's better but that's subjective but he does not sound the same. His voice is definitely deeper
The work of a true artist is replicating album quality live. This guy, Sia, Sigur Ros. Perfection
This song is probably the one time anyone has gotten excited to hear the french horn
😂
Beatles - For No One
The French horn is very good in that song
"come to cleveland again!"
yeah, good luck with that
Everyone singing together is what makes the live performances so special. If you wanted to hear Jeff, why wouldn't you just go listen to the album? If you were there, you'd have thought it was absolutely magical. And it was.
ARE YOU RECORDING HIM?
original video???
peep it was fake
Why do I keep seeing this? Where does this come from?
@@synthmalicious7541 it's a fake video of Jeff Magnum singing before someone doing an impression of him and screamed "ARE YOU RECORDING ME"
Since when did Jeff Mangum start looking like Forest Gump when he went on his 3000 mile run?
YEARS ago.....
@Zachary u n me both
he looks hot
@Zachary well, he did
U know i was just thinking that thanks
How strange it is to be anything at all.
Mangum concerts are awesome. I want to go to one where the crowd actually sings. Jeff feels a lot more comfortable when they do.
good luck with that one
buddy
I feel like the reason the people who are angry about the singing is precisely because they haven't fully felt the beauty of communion
They wouldn't feel so angry if they saw the love that's around and in them.
Life, baby
Ivan Mora jk I agree with what you said
Vish yeah me too
But I don’t think anybody listening to this would get angry
I’m here 8 years in the future to tell you to shove your communion where the sun don’t shine.
:)
Jeff specifically told the crowd to sing along.
The man with the magic voice. The emotion and passion of he's voice is one of a kind.
the crowd singing along makes it even more beautiful
this makes me so bummed that i missed his show last year. this looks like a spiritual experience
Saw him perform in York PA - Jeff asked the crowd repeatedly to sing with him and move closer to the stage. So, even though I would rather hear just him sing...it was kind of sweet that he asks the crowd to sing along. One of the best shows I've ever seen and one of the most memorable for me.
He played in York? Where and when?
I want to see him live soooo badly
Same here. Too bad he's not doing any more tours for a while.
@@zeph1503 Bruh this comment was 5 years ago bruh, did you ever end up seeing him seeing him bruh ???
@@HT00798 I was here making the same question, he still making live concerts?
@@Jokaa656 They are still on an extended hiatus :(
@@thefallenlmc5158 okok
I witnessed this. I can die happy.
He has written new material.. And he encourages singing at his shows.
For me, this is just the best song ever written.
So simple, stunning and touching.
The final verse is without question, the most brilliant verse in modern folk/rock history. An absolute masterpiece. A work of art.
The French Horn player is one of the members of Briars of North America.
this album is so important to me words cant even begin to describe it. this song is the pinnacle of all those memories and emotions as a whole
i think it sounds beautiful. theres something magical about a group of about 300 people who all know every word to every song.
horn player: *puts horn down*
crowd: WOOOOOOOOAAHH
He asks people to sing along. It's a group experience anyways, it isn't about you.
I think it’s honestly beautiful about everyone singing along to this song. I really feel like it was meant for that.
Hey! Are you recording me? Hey. ARE YOU RECORDING ME?
Is it real
Most people who i have played this album for cannot get into it because of the singing, understandable i suppose but i enjoy Jeff's voice a lot, it's just raw and honest, fits the lyrics and music quite well i would say.

this is so beautiful. i wish Jeff Mangum was real.
and he was never seen agian.
No, his beard grew a Jeff Magnum.
I'd kill to see them live. Literally.
Yes, police? Put this one on the watch list
and I’d die to see them live.
I would sell my soul to listen to them live
Don’t kill people, asshole
I got to see them in Austin Texas during their reunion. One of the most amazing memories I've had. Hearing thousands of people sing Two Headed Boy at the top of their lungs, is something I'll never forget.
I AM LISTENING TO HEAR WHERE YOU ARRRRRRE!!
was absolutely unbelievable
So psyched to being seeing him tonight in Oregon.
how was it
@@olivi8r pretty good man thanks

Best song ever. Best band ever. *Period.*
Such a beautiful song ❤️
Whoa whoa whoa hey.
Hey...
ARE YOU RECORDING ME!?!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR RECORDING THIS
And Jeff hates you for it
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all 'round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keepin' here with me
What a curious life
We have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
But now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all 'round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
( Summer 2023 - I'm still dreaming of hearing him once live )
I have anxiety but thankyou Jeff
Love this video! So stoked I get to see him tomorrow night in Augusta!!!!!!
"I miss the ole Jeff Mangum
Here with flow Jeff Mangum
Set on his goals Jeff Mangum
I hate the new Jeff Mangum
The bad mood Jeff Mangum
The always rude Jeff Mangum
Spaz in the news Jeff Mangum
I miss the sweet Jeff Mangum
Chop up the beats Jeff Mangum
I gotta say
At that time I'd like to meet Jeff Mangum
See I invented Jeff Mangum
There wasn't any Jeff Mangum
And now I look and look around
And there's so many Jeff Mangums
What if Jeff Mangum
Made a song
About Jeff Mangum
Called I miss the ole Jeff Mangum
MAN THAD BE SO JEFF MANGUM
That's all it was Jeff Mangum
We still love Jeff Mangum
And I love you like Jeff Mangum
Loves

pause.
10 years later and I'm still here revisiting this. 🥲
Omigosh...wish I could be there singing along...and I hate singing along...but this song means so much to me
I don't even know why I like this band so much, like why does this sound so good to my ears??

Can't believe Neco Arc introduced me to this band
Ok

It really depresses me to see him now. He looks so haggard and barely ever speaks compared to how he used to be.

Does Jeff use a guitar pick?
