Favorite quote I've heard from a Jeff Mangum show:
"Hey Jeff, what's your favorite book"
"I think you already know"
thats amazing

The second time I got to see Jeff, I actually met him. I told him of my first experience. It was somewhat mesmerizing to be there and have him listening to me. All the while, everyone around me and him just sank back and let me have my moment with him. He opened up a little to me, and gave me a huge hug. He also wrote something for my mother to give to her.....
What did he write?
We may never know...

Is this where kanye got the idea?
He is strangely hilarious. I saw him in Maine; and at some point in the show he mumbled something indistinct. I think he said "You guys are a really great crowd to sing for" but no one heard him. Suddenly he yelled "What is it?! You guys don't speak mumble?!", which was certainly one of the highlights of the show.
it's been 10 years!!! who's ready for Jeff to come back on tour?
pics weren't allowed. :-(
theneedledrop pics are always allowed in my DMs, Melon boy
No fucking wonder
ARE YOU RECORDING HIM??!!!!??!!!
I hope Jeff makes a comeback some day soon
Yeah
He won't be tho :(
@@vanajalekkala5098 do u really think so? ):
He ain’t ever coming back bro
LIFE.
Sucks
I saw Neutral Milk Hotel at Boston Calling Music Festival, and it was honestly so.. surreal, just as Anthony said. It was the whole band, with the horns and everything, and hearing everyone around me, the HUGE crowd singing along, was honestly amazing. Not afraid to say that during In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, I shed a tear. They came on before The National, a band I love and was equally as excited to see. But after NMH's set, the national couldn't even compare. It was unbelievable, the range of emotion i felt seeing Neutral Milk Hotel. Anyone who is considering seeing them, do it. It's fantastic.
Ay I was there too, I got to meet Julian when The National was playing
Holland 1945 is one of my favorite tracks from Aeroplane Over The Sea. But how can you pick a favorite?
Jonathon Riebesehl Title track for me
Easily Oh Comely
That's a really hard question, but I would have to go with Ghost
Instrumentals are nobody's favourite ? Mine is The Fool
Christopher Bingham It'd be mine too if it wasn't 7 minutes long with ghost straight after. I always end up skipping
I saw NMH with Breeders and Daniel Johnston at the Hollywood Bowl just three rows away from the stage! It was the most intimate and AMAZING show I've ever experienced! I too was dancing and singing my ass off wildly as others stared in annoyance. How the hell can you NOT?! It's freakin Neutral Milk Hotel!
And fucking Daniel JOHNSTON!?
man you’re so lucky! what was your favourite part of the show?
NMH and DJ in one show... Wow
I'd murder some one to be at that show. what a legendary set
i don't really do demos. you've gotta step up your game and get a good sound / recording together if you want to get somewhere. you shouldn't be passing critics your tracks if you don't feel they've reached your complete vision of what it should sound like.
Nobody had replied to this comment in the 6 years since it was posted until now.
@@UNDERSOCIALITE nice one jeebus
What the hell is this melon talking about
Wowww he was already getting requests for subs reviews
it's funny to see people react to the old method of replies. replies used to be creating a totally new comment there was no "reply" section, that's why melon's comment seems so out of the blue.
yes.
no.
maybe
balls
Wait his name is Jeff *Mangum*? I always thought it was *Magnum*!
jeff needs a magnum condom anytime he sees a pic of anne frank
Autismo Supreme jeff mancum
as a relative to him this is my biggest nightmare
@sleepism yep
sleepism ive met him once at a family reunion but i was a kid & i’d only heard his music a little at the time. i said hi to him, and that was that. he seems like an interesting guy though from what i’ve heard
I saw neutral milk hotel in portland maine a few days ago. when waiting in line my friend looked over the crowd and i heard him say "this place is filled with old people and pretentious teenagers". the concert, oh my god, it was utterly amazing. my friends and I were right against the barrier between the "pit" area and the stage. when the band came out they started with I Will Bury You In Time, the audience was pretty chill at that point but still cheering and kinda in shock by the fact that we were all actually here. as you know, the end of that song kinda just goes "dee dee dee dee dee" very fast, and as he finished that song, he just instantly transitioned into Holland 1945 like "dee dee dee dee dee 1 2 3 4" and in that moment, the instrumentation and the audience absolutely EXPLODED. i don't know about other areas of the theater but people in my area were dancing and jumping and screaming the lyrics. 2 girls started grinding (these same 2 also managed to grind during 2 headed boy, which was impressive??? i guess???) some dude tried to crowd surf but failed. overall the general energy of the concert was simply amazing for the same reason as you said in the video. having so many people who had been affected by this music in one are was just amazing.
oh to be grinded on during two headed boy 😳
Just started listening to them after your review... Wow. Literally listen to them everyday at work now. Makes my life slightly more bearable.
No fucking way, dude! I was at that show! I was sitting on top of a garbage can so I could see over the crowd, that was an awesome show! Wow
hey i was sitting behind you! i couldnt see the stage thanks to that trashcan you fat fuck
lol
LEMAO
@@Garf2O I love this comment so much😂
NICE
NICE
BALLS
ARE YOU FUCKING RECORDING THIS?!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kinda sad because I'll probably never see them.
trasciende 4 years later, can confirm.
5 years later, can still confirm
really sad ill never see them
they’ll need money eventually
I predict they'll tour again before 2026.
I've seen Jeff four times. On the day I saw him for the first time (9.10.2011), my father passed away (literally as I was grabbing the tickets from will call). It was heart breaking for me, but to see my favorite musician ON that day... well, that was life changing as well. I shook during the performance of 'Two Headed Boy Part 2'. That night was perfect. Jeff came out for a third encore and played 'Ferris Wheel on Fire', unplanned...
WOO!
YEAH WOO!!!!!
WOOO!!!
WOO YEAH
WOOOOOOO!!!
Never thought I'd ever get to see NMH live, especially in Australia. But last week I did. And it was life-changing.
woot!
I'm seeing Neutral Milk Hotel in Brooklyn tonight, and I thought I would watch this video again in preparation.
Still not prepared.
How was it?
manbrojoho only the best show I've ever been to
Willaporte How was his voice like? Was it similar to what it used be?
manbrojoho they tuned down some of their songs a little bit (because I'm sure he can't hit the same notes he used to) but his voice was still incredible and moving
Willaporte Lucky bastard :)
I actually got a bit emotional watching this because it reminded me so much of my experience when I saw Jeff in my town. There was such a surreal, intimate quality to seeing Jeff play that I wish I could relive. From the singing along to people humming the horn parts to my friend raise his finger as high as he could while shouting "I LOVE YOU JESUS CHRIST", the crowd participation really did make it a very special show.
We didn't get The Music Tapes though, you lucky ass.
Jeff here, thanks man.
man gum
;lol
Half man half gum?
My favorite flavor
Thank you, Molten_, very cool
thinking about it.
Are you still thinking about it Anthony?
Julian is a joy to watch he's an awesome performer and his saw playing is great live.
Saw NMH last night in Dublin, and it was one of the most marvelous experiences I have ever had the privilege of being a part of. The entire band put more into the gig than any artist I have ever seen, and every song was one beautiful masterpiece after another.
Really want to take up the singing saw now, too.
i saw NMH on their final tour when they came to Ventura, California. Jeff walked right next to me during soundcheck and i got the chills. The Minders opened for them (i hadnt heard them before, but ive like them since). Jeff came out and played I Will Bury You in Time. The band took their places during the final verse and they went right into Holland, 1945. i was right in front of the stage and it was so beautiful everyone was shouting lyrics and jumping up and down. when you described the set you saw and the audience singing like hymns, thats exactly how it was the ENTIRE set and it took me back to that night. i started to feel warm and tingly and almost cried.i recalled seein Julian bounce all over the stage from instrument to instrument and before the encore (playing the last few tracks of ITAOTS), julian said "You live in a beautiful place" with that childish and genuine softness. it was the most magical night of my life, and the day was just as cool. if any of you give a shit, ill tell you about the day leading to the concert, but my point is, the NMH fanbase (even the people who make a joke of it) are in LOVE with the music they make.
it's "Two, one two three four" actually
Just saw Neutral Milk Hotel a couple weeks ago, very special experience. Opened with King of Carrot Flowers Part I, closed with Two Headed Boy Part II.
me, too.
I got shivers down my spine just listening to you describe the show.
Gave me goosebumps to live vicariously through your explanation of your experience.
Oh, and I asked Jeff if I could have his hat, which got a laugh out of him. And then I felt all warm and fuzzy because Jeff talked to me eeeeeeee
Jeff Mangum is the sort of artist I would travel all the way to America to see
My uncle claims Jeff used to go to his church.
i’m really touched by how at the end of the video it’s so clear that the whole thing really affected him
Just saw NMH in Boston. It was probably one of the greatest concerts I've ever been to. I was almost moved to tears.
Great review. I'm envious of your experience seeing him. I hope he tours again.
I hope he tours again, this sounds like the best concert ever.
thank you for making this video! it brought me much joy!!!
Jeff
played in my hometown in Texas back in 2013 and I was (still am) heartbroken because I was in the UK at the time!!! apparently the show was completely dead and not many people showed up but he played oh sister which is my favorite nmh song of all time and whenever I think about it I get sadder and sadder.
I was able to see nmh in Dallas but the seating was weird and I regret not being in the pit/ga area. I felt this strange tension with Jeff and camera phones and a person in the front actually lifted up their phone and took a picture of Jeff with the flash on!!! it was so embarrassing I for sure though he would say something but he seemed to not care in the least.
I also had tickets to see them in Tucson but I sold them and that's another thing I'll always regret since they'll possibly never tour again. I just hope Jeff does another few solo shows in the near future.
I don't consistently watch your uploads but what I've seen in the past has always left me with a positive opinion of you. And this.. The way you talk about Neutral Milk Hotel and the experience, reminds me of my deep passion for this band and specific songs. I've never met someone I felt I could connect with about my musical tastes and I think you just spelled it all out beautifully. You just gained a life-long fan.
I am not exaggerating when I say that I cried listening to you retell this experience, beautiful, so lucky x
Hearing you talk about it just got me really excited. If I go and see him I hope he's in a good mood and the crowd is good too.
I saw them last night in Portland, Maine. Blew me away, so amazing. Everything I hoped for and more.
AWESOME show review. really makes me wish I had a chance to catch him on this tour. I grew up around Athens, GA and theses songs mean a lot to me.
I WAS AT THIS SHOW !
I FELT THE SAME EXACT REACTIONS !
this was something I had dreamed of for a decade
Your show is sick dude
Thank you for giving my band a shout. CT LOVE FOREVER
Saw them on the 14th in Australia @ Enmore theatre, they were brilliant. The performance was otherworldly at times, if you get the chance to see them go to the right side and experience immense awe of Jeff Mangum's presence. Had the chance and luck to meet him as well after the show, very surreal experience!
That sounds like a wonderful show. I felt like I was there from the way you described it. Thanks
I saw him in Portland, Maine and it was on of the best nights of my life. I thought he would be shy and serious but once he warmed up he was acting a bit playful. People kept asking when he would put out a new album and he would just give them a confused look and laugh. It was so beautiful. Every song was perfect and nobody cared about which notes they could or couldn't hit. They just screamed every word. It's nice to know that people like Jeff actually exist and I'm SO thankful that they do!
Yay! Can't wait to see the reunion shows!
It sounds like this show was so magical. Can't wait to catch these guys on their reunion tour.
Saw them last night. Freakin beautiful man
what were you thinking?
Loving the varied content lately, man. Interviews, live show discussions, quickies... all good stuff!
I cannot die without seeing him perform. Sounds like an absolute experience. I can only imagine that kind of energy!
Thanks for this upload, Anthony. Saw him at Coachella last year and had a very similar experience. Rad!
yep!
I saw NMH in Kansas a few months ago, and holy shit I have never been to a better performance. It may be partly because they're my favorite band of all time, but they genuinely put on a great show. The best part for me was when they came back out and played Engine, exactly the way it happened at your show, after the break. This song is one of my all time favorites, and by this time I was half naked from jumping around so crazily and in tears, and I just can not imagine ever doing that at any other concert. I wish I could see them again and again and again. I hope they go on tour again!!
Just saw NMH performing for the first time, today in Portugal (NOS Primavera Sound). It was just fantastic. Very moving to finally see them. Jeff seems so humble
I saw them last night! They were amazing, Jeff was very humble and he loved the audience singing along. Awesome night :D
This is such an accurate representation of a Jeff Mangum show. I saw him a month ago when he was in Charleston and it was such a religious/spiritual experience. Loved it. Thanks for the video.
I'm actually going to see NMH in almost less than 2 weeks and god damn im so excited
Woooooowww that's so cool Anthony!!
Thanks bro...For us music nerds...You are the closest we can get to feeling the art. There's nothing on TV or Radio. Greetings from Malaysia.
I saw him in Dallas last month. Greatest show I've been to. I cried when he sang Two Headed Boy Pt. 2
Please do more videos about the bands you see live, i luv dem
oh my god, it was the greatest thing ever.
I recommend it. so much!
I went to the Cleveland show, it was amazing. The crowd was great during Jeff's performance. Everyone was singing and Jeff was loving it and he was great too. It was everything I could of hoped for, and then some. I am very glad I had the privilege to see Jeff Mangum live in concert and the show will be a memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
I really can't wait to see them in January!
I saw Jeff live in Charlotte, NC. The most magical live music experience I've had. Everyone was there for Jeff and to support him. I also witnessed a lot of singing of the horns from the audience and people diving into the music and loving it. The setlist was a little different. He opened with Two-Headed Boy and played pt. 2 as the encore. So good. Even stood in the cold for over an hour to meet him and get my Aeroplane CD signed. Worth it.
You summed it up very nicely!
I just picked up tickets to see NMH on May 27th here in Southern California and I am so excited. I've loved this record since I was 15 (8 years ago) and I never thought I'd have a chance to see this.
Nice Neu! LP! Love that album. Can't wait to see Mangum in AZ in late March! Saw him at Coachella, but the intimate setting is going to be unbeatable :)
He was really cool live. I saw him in Vancouver and the crowd was a little more reserved than what you describes but there was a similar gospel style experience, especially on king of carrot flowers part two. Really really glad I got to see him, one of the best concerts I've ever been to
I saw the show right before the one you went to in Providence, RI. People definitely lost attention when the Talls Firs, and The Music Tapes were playing. Julian came across as such a genuine person, and I managed to meet him afterwards, and he was incredibly nice. Jeff was very open right from the beginning of my show, and was talking to the crowd the whole night. I felt that magic you were talking about. Everyone at my show was singing along loudly, and very passionately.Overall a great show.
Seeing him in a month can't wait
saw Jeff Mangum play in Dublin last year, there is something so beautiful about him, so innocent. I cried throughout the gig, I would love to see him again. What a wonderful man
Oh whaaaaaaattt I don't think you realise how long I've tried seeing him play for! Lucky you! Hopefully when he next comes to England.
i saw him play at coachella last year. and it was one of the most beautiful shows ive ever been to. everyone was singing the whole time and when they started playing the fool i teared up. very few times ive felt like that at a show before
I saw Jeff in Cleveland, he played the same songs. I've been to a good deal of concerts but this was maybe the most incredible. I was in the front row and nearly all of the audience was singing the whole time. He seemed sad at first but that changed really quickly. You don't often get the chance to see your musical idols live, especially a notable recluse like Mangum. It was a surreal and perfect experience. I hope this tour is going to be a big comeback for him.
i can't believe this was 5 years ago already, shit. i went to this lil show too! i honestly think i vaguely remember seeing you there while waiting to get into union station. smaaaaall world man. honestly, what a subtle but fantastic performance from jeff mangum. and i agree with you, even tough it was an acoustic set, it felt like you were at a neutral milk hotel show, like the full band was there.
Just booked my ticket for may at the Roundhouse! Can't wait!
To this day I’m still pissed people weren’t standing in awe while Julian played his set.
Anthony I saw him in Mass and I have to say I am so happy you reviewed this. It was one of the most amazing things I have experienced. Also at the show he made a slight hint that some unheard material exists, but also that we will probably never hear them:(
This video made me so excited to see NMH this April
(Last post) The Music Tapes are special in their own right. Koster and company played twice at my home... one time while my dad was still here. When they returned, it was magical to hear them speak about him. I nearly cried when they talked to me and my mom about my dad and stuff he had said to them that I had forgotten.
Every time I see them, they come and hug me and ask about my family. Such genuine and magical souls, these people are. Great music. Wonderful people.
Listen to it again. I don't mean "You must have missed the greatness, so go back and find it", I mean that most of NMH's biggest fans-the ones who cried and screamed during the show Anthony was at, for instance-hated Aeroplane on first listen. It's an album that can grow on you literally beyond belief.
Also, once you get used to it, Jeff's voice becomes one of the best parts of the album: fighting his vocal limitations in order to sing his songs makes endearing, but also amazingly passionate.
I never thought a concert review could make me cry...but it did!! Someday I hope to go sing in that gospel choir...
loooooool
Haha
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
I'll be catching him when he comes to Phoenix, couldn't be more excited.
I was there. Thanks for the Convo before the show.
I just saw Neutral Milk on Sunday and it was an incredible show. Julian Koster is one of the most impressive musicians I've ever seen live!
