"And then the piano, beer, and songs; '2080's lyrics written quickly and messily on a sheet of paper; Lyn relaxing on her hammock; hands, glasses, and bottles clinking on the floor as if in response to the neighbors reprimands. A joyful hippie communion..."

I always come back and watch this video a couple times a year.
-
This was the last video my brother showed me before he died. It's a special video to me. Thank you for that.
-
Still one of the best videos on youtube
-
this video makes me miss the aughts, miss parties, miss all of it-- groups fall apart, musicians settle down and stop letting dozens of drunks into their houses because they have kids, everyone around me isn't old but acts old the last 7y or so. i get it.
-
Can't believe this is 10 years old. Still love it.
-
it's hard to find the right words for how much i like this version of 2080! it's not only the sound, it's also the interaction of the band and the crowd and it's an increibily joyfull atmosphere. look at the faces in this video! it really makes me happy to see how happy everybody is!
-
Incredible that the one of the best videos on Youtube has been around for 13 years and still not over 1 million views.
-
This version of tightrope is what got me into a take away shows
-
This is probably the 50th time I've watched this since it was posted. It's bizarre to think how rare it is to find a band that will even admit to pursuing something joyful. I think Pitchfork deducts 2 points just for mentioning the word. When they first break out in harmony, I still feel like I'm getting hit in the stomach it's so good. This restores my faith in people. I rarely gush like this. I'm actually more of an electronic music head.
-
You know you're in a kickass band when you can accidentally lock all your instruments in the van and still play a great show
-
10 years later this still brings tears in my eyes
-
So tell me how all they had was a piano and yet they still sound as amazing as their recorded tracks!
-
Was I the only one ready to cry when they pulled back to reveal everyone in the room? My friend Ellen and I both got the emotion, and we can't figure out why. So beautiful and emotional.
-
I just found out today they broke up some months back, truly heart broken and shedding some tears. This performance/ video made me fall in love with them and get me through some hard times. Thank you for the memories.
-
Saw this years ago, and it's still my favourite video on youtube.
-
Absolutely love La Blotheque.. This just epitomises its brilliannce and genius of a very simple concept 😍
-
what a beautiful thing adding the audience to the show
-
I'm so moved and inspired. I need to make every party I host become this.
-
I want all of their songs in acoustic form, it definitely shows the passion they have for music. And I love how they use things around them to make music. I just love them.
-
man. i've had some parties in my place but i can't beat this. yeasayer. yeah!
