Sunflower Bean is one of those rare groups where their live performances are even better than their studio versions. The fact that they can all play more than just rhythm while singing is pretty awesome.

[@warlockdruid]

The tone of that guitar sounds so good

[@myst6866]

She is an incredible bass player and singer + she beautiful + shes got all my atention ++

[@kenjijin]

I prefer her in the videoclip

[@2skyland]

This is the best live version I've seen so far.

[@giantspacemonstr]

The high pitched ending chorus is just perfect, the chorus literally spells "All I heard was Silence" while the high pitched tone deafens you with melody , a beautiful irony executed with masterful performance.

[@philiptate8009]

this sounds really clean. a great recording of a great song.

[@BasswipeNC]

I saw them last night in a large outdoor venue. They sounded great. Good show.

[@mnrradioshow5566]

Sunflower Bean... MUST. SEE. THEM. LIVE. (File under "note to self.")

[@ashrafrahman9392]

The guitar parts sounded like a mash up of Jonny marr and Peter Buck. They sounded great

[@VanielDeeform]

Ashraf Rahman That’s a great observation. There were definitely similar influences and parallels betweeen the two players as there were between Stephen Morrissey & Michael Stipe

[@scottflores2502]

Interesting take...I think the style leans more towards Buck. Love the observation!

[@rugerdern1554]

With a hint of Lindsay Buckingham

[@eduardoguerrero7850]

AMAZING AND FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE!!!

[@gluedtogames]

Hard to believe the live version is better than that already perfect studio version.

[@ecshaw40]

Saw them at a dive bar in Santa Cruz in 2015(?) and we moshed with Julia (while she was playing the bass, no stage) they absolutely killed it - will never forget that night.

[@christhompson7485]

This band is so good.

[@CharlesLumia]

Good performance. Cool band!

[@jimkuhlman4401]

Really impressed with the stepped up vocal presence since the last tour;;nice*****

[@rzelbeton]

Great live version!

[@iv1492]

Stylish AF

[@jrregan]

Incredible live version. I kinda don't like live versions because they mostly are inferior. These easily matches the release version. And, of course, tops in a way due to the presentation. Awesome.

[@thailakhampo]

When is good live, it's good.

[@gaia3294]

They're so tight

[@vaniachristianty8819]

ko keren banget siih..ga jauh beda sama versi rekamannya💛🌻 senang.

[@Empyrean17]

Love them.

[@luizsanches7551]

She reminds me of Scarlett Johnansson

[@kenjijin]

Blondie

[@Lith333]

I like her eyebrows.

[@saveyourhero3307]

cafe with music . couldn’t ask for more

[@Mcramos68]

Amazing!

[@beat.spectral]

[@javierhernandez797]

[@lucianofigueiredo4877]

Verdade mente lindo

[@franciscoaristeomontero7610]

[@95bhutan]

Super!

[@keithmainjr9736]

❤❤❤

[@peebo-hc6zd]

Song. Good.

[@cynthiastrickland8814]

This is good music right here dog

[@gummo6596]

Sweet mustache

[@spartan876]

She almost looks like a blonde pj harvey and the guitarist looks like bob Dylan hahaha

[@elarakamai]

She could pass as a young Scarlett Johansson.

[@robertmakins5070]

chorus pedals are making a comeback.

[@vinnycc06]

Great show. Good sound engineer much better than the sxsw show

[@1001speedster]

Her voice gives me a Stevie Nicks vibe.

[@gordobilly]

fleetwood mac dreams

[@auburnangel904]

The drummer is so cute

[@warlockdruid]

I'm straight and I agree.

[@auburnangel904]

Warlock97 why did u mention that lol

[@warlockdruid]

is that a question

[@auburnangel904]

Warlock97 yes actually

[@warlockdruid]

cause it's the internet, say what you want

[@danielcontreras5544]

Su voz parece incorporarse sin mayor problema al principio de la canción, suena diferente al video musical, pero prefiero esta versión, muy agradable voz

[@SDCDIABLO]

I love this band, but they seem like something is missing live compared to studio. Again still sounds great but I feel they'd benefit from another touring musician or two.

[@jantleman934]

is that alex wolff from the naked brothers band on the drums?? hahaha

[@tomstepp3954]

David Madsen can play the drums?

[@miguelarevalo4986]

Beautiful frontwoman

[@servo5000]

great tune. wish she sung it live a little closer to how it was in the recording though. too many times singers put a spin on certain parts of the lyrics when sung live and in doing so lose something special in the process. still a great band though.

[@flooberbloob]

When you play it live night after night having already played it to death in the studio, you have to change it up a bit from time to time to avoid BOREDOM!!!! Ask anyone...

[@MsPili1]

Fans de Fleetwood Mac detectados .

[@owensmith4303]

kendra smith esk

[@michaelandrewgarcia96]

Okay now he looks like jeff goldblum

[@livemeyer]

She's a dead ringer for Scarlett Johansson

[@app369]

Guitar audio is way out of wack way too loud/verb took over the whole performance

[@MaceyWavves]

wtf that was terrible singing at least the dude didn’t bomb it

[@thailakhampo]

Seriously?

[@dexteraguirre2814]

You deaf bruh

[@goknighthawksgo]

Sure Mason sure, just keep listening to your shitty mumble rap.

[@gerald4133]

Gorgeous....model playing bass. Cool band love indie. Sunflower bean ☝ angelic voice
