Man, what a career they’ve had since then. Cool to see this video, and I’m loving this new posting trend!

They definitely blow.
Was this just a style that happened to pop up? I swear there were several copycats or they were the copies. I don’t know which. This looks like a pretty hipster crowd. I don’t know what this style actually is, I just call it “Newgrass.”
That top comment:
> These guys are going to be huge. There’s too much passion and talent for them not to be. We’ll be telling our kids, “Yeah I supported this band before they were famous”
Prophetic.
I don’t want to imagine a world in which Mumford remained childless.
For all the shit that Mumford and Sons get, that first album was fucking amazing.
[A year later, at Reading Festival.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX2vdYEzbzQ&t=20s)
It certainly pays to have very rich parents when being a musician, a la the Mumfords.
Oh yeah these guys were a thing for a hot minute… 😬
Interesting in comparison to The Killers one. This song/act is very polished and close to the version on the album, where the Killers in the killers it was obviously more a prototype of the song and perhaps stylistically hadn’t quite figured out what they were doing
But yeah like that guy said, I think you can see here they were well on track to success
Yeah, this might be all that you get.
“Like The Pogues, but for Starbucks”
Yeah I saw them in a crowd of under 50 many years ago I Portland Oregon and I could feel it then, they opened for Laura Marling and it was fantastic, really felt like the start of something cool.
I had a feeling this wouldn’t be like The Killers.
This could be filmed either in 2009 or 2022…
Say what you will, but they’re a good live band
My brother used to be friends with the lead dude from Papa Roach back in the day on some geeky IRC channel. He seemed super ambitious and sent my brother a bunch of early demo stuff before they got signed.
It’s easy to say now that we’ve all heard them for years but man it seems like you can feel the difference in the videos of these bands before they went famous vs the others that don’t. Imagine all the talent out there yet to be discovered.
Crazy when you hear a band so fully formed early on.
Blandford and Yawns
It’s interesting how they are always too fast. Who is it that gets to these guys and tells them if they slow down even a half a beat it’ll sound way better? Like, what’s the rush, boys?
Was this at SXSW?
If anyone wants some comedy, Chris Porter has a great bit about meeting Mumford & sons. Look up ” this is not happening Chris Porter YouTube”
One of the best live acts I have ever seen.
From this to Ted Lasso. What a journey.
This is so dope
Who?
Before they were famous and before they fizzled out.
Which one is Mumford?
I mean this was just posted here two days ago.
Feeling nostalgic for pre-smartphone world.
It finally hit me; forever I’ve thought I heard the part of music where they sing “…all the faults you left behind”. It’s either similar to my ears or the same as the part of “Puff the Magic Dragon” in the beginning where they end the line with “…and other fancy stuff”. I might just be hearing things though.
That’s genuinely very powerful. Love it or hate it, they had the juice. How that song(s) comes out polished and fully formed before they met producers, labels, executives is genuinely incredible.

I absolutely love these. Live performances feel so much more pure to me, and these tend to be some of the best ones, but this sub is fuckin awesome and needs support.
best band ever
love the old guy vibing in the right corner.
