I haven’t posted much lately yet (again). Been far too busy with work and climbing the ladder of life. Haven’t given much anything else a thought other than getting outdoors for hikes and exploration to clear the mind in between, and spending time with friends and family.
I figured I would share this. I came across it by chance and when clicking on play, I planned to only watch the first few minutes, but wound up watching the entire thing. Mumford and Sons is a great band filled with talent and solid mixing (they put out some great albums, always ready to take on the audiophile world of things).
Below is the entire video of their performance on Letterman back in 2015, posted by the band for everyone to enjoy. Enjoy…
origins in British folk music from Irish/Scots to Welsh and English
expertly performed by exceptionally gifted musicians … A breath of fresh
air in a world dominated by plastic rubbish.
People….who cares what genre this “fits” into. Industry people put music
in categories so they can market it. People put music (and other people) in
categories if they’re too insecure to just let it be what it is without
labels. Enough already. This band is great!
If you listen to old rock records, it becomes obviously apparent that the
soundboards and recording equipment they used had imperfections of static,
preamp overloading, and other abnormalities that created “buzz”,
“distortion” and other sonic imperfections. And gosh, isn’t it great?
Modern recording studios brand new tech, the comparison is stark as day
when compared to retro vintage recording equip and outboard gear. New tech
creates such clarity, its too clear, too impassionate – the imperfections
that we found in old music added to the genuineness of the artists that fed
our souls. New music, while it might lack that ingenuity and integrity
needed for great music, would serve itself well to rethink the tech that it
implements. This is mostly the musicians fault! As a band, most of the time
you have the option of choosing the studio in which you’d like to
record….just some food for thought.
BEN LEVIN get out of here your commenting like it’s no ones business. Get a
life dude, a musician is a musician
A legendary band, believe me! Just listen!
PLEASE COME BACK!!! THE WORLD MISSES MUMFORD AND YOUR FUCKING AMAZING LIVE
GIGS!
Truly awesome!
A lot of happy faces in the audience, and the feel good factor is what this
band is all about. Whether they can build on this and with this format be
going strong in 5 years is another matter it’s but great while it lasts
23:19 – whats make or name is Marcus’ guitar????
Mumford and Sons is my favorite band, after The Beatles of course.
MUMFORD AND SONS RULES… enough said!!
how dare you blank out the swear words in little lion man lol
Lead singer is playing 4 different instruments at the same time , what a
badass.
Great performance.
I fuckin love this…..goosebumps to every song……
Muito bom, são os melhores…
Can’t get enough of these guys!
M. Mumford is so charming :’)
Muy bueno!!!
What does Marcus say at 23:10?
Also, the concert is lovely!
Its hilarious to see all these hater shits telling these guys to get a
different profession- Mumford and Sons gained international fame performing
while you guys sit and complain from your moms basement.
Their music comes from the heart & soul… Amazing!!!
I enjoyed their music so much the first time I listened to that it has been
one of my favorite bands since. Congratulations to all of you. Hello from
Guadalajara, Mexico

I’m really struggling.

best band I have heard in awhile…
When I heard one song, I liked it. But when I heard the entire album I felt
like everything was the same song. But thats what you get when you use the
same chords and strumming pattern that much. I don’t think they are bad
don’t get me wrong, but I do think they are overrated.
Outra banda cuja a música lava a alma!

I’ve actually been listening to the two albums I have and to this video for
over 1 year and it is always wonderful. I am addicted to their music, I
guess, I listen to it virtually every day and I do not get tired of it!
Can’t wait to see them perform live!!! 🙂 COME TO AUSTRALIA PLEASE!!!!!
These guys are so talented it blows my mind! They are So Much BETTER LIVE!
Such artistic ability and creative sound with beautiful harmony and lyrics
with such energy and passion!!!! I can’t believe I ever thought that they
were ordinary!
Jesus lives eh

This band is, in my opinion, the greatest mucical group in the cosmos. I
will assume the 760 unlikes were concerning the sound and or picture
quality of THIS video.
emotional and impressive.
so cool.
I can’t remember the last time I heard a band that feels genuine! The last
would be Michael Jackson’s earth song. I am waiting eagerly for Mumford
and Sons to tour Canada.
He didn’t sound very good in the first song, but he got better through the
performance
Brilliance !
sounds just like the album
Who cares if they use the same chord everyone cause guess what every song
is a rip off of another song now days u only have so many chords and the
thing is it’s fresh and new and if u want the same olé pop star junk after
hear n them play 3 songs then be our guest we will enjoy each song as they
are all different in there own way like lyrics and meaning so technically
none of them sound the same and name 1 band right here right now that
doesn’t have ohhhs and ahhhs n there song and i can name a ton that use
similar patterns in there music it’s not that big of deal and isn’t ground
breaking milli vanilli stuff folks
Such great Tunes!
#AWESOME
its so fucking shitty that everyone stands with their fucking phones…
WTF!! Look at the show and enjoy it and leave you phones out of it FFS!!
this is a great live performance from a great band. i’m sure this would
have a lot of views in quite a few years.
Nice! Take a look at my Mumford and Sons cover. i think it ain’t half bad
=)
La mejor banda de la actualidad, haters gonna hate!
