It must be an incredible and nostalgic feeling playing songs that were released 17 years ago, and to think all that's gone on in your lives but you're still up there with your pals playing those songs from way back when. I always felt as though listening to American Football was like reading a diary or journal because they really encapsulated being young and put themselves into what they wrote. And that to me is what makes their music so captivating; let alone their outstanding musicianship. Each one of them has inspired me as I step into music and art being a 16 year old kid. I think about maybe being up on stage with my pals 17 years from now and playing some tunes we're writing now and it makes me smile. AF forever. ♥️

I'm amazed they started with Stay Home. I always felt that song as a closer.

looking at the drummer having such a good time makes me smile every time

my favourite band of all time.

I used to watch Mike play drums in Cap'n Jazz when he was a quiet teenager. Always smiling, but always quiet. I love seeing where life and his talent and desire have taken him....and the others.

It's pretty cool that they have found success in present time than when they first came out.

this is the nicest comment section I've seen on youtube and i think i know why

emo dads is back to bring the feels... "ooh the muscle memories..."

in 2017 i experienced both american football and cap'n jazz live. 2017 was a pretty good year to me.

posers didn't even bring a wurlitzer onto the stage wow

This was the first band I saw over the Reading weekend. I was so excited. I had wanted to see them for years. You can't really see it in the video but the crowd were pretty into it. There were a few people around me crying and really getting emotional over it. It was great.

The funny thing is that these kids in the audience are totally underwhelmed by this, but this might have been my ultimate concert to see.

They were so experimental, and it sounds great.

Duuude... What a blessing that this on KZfaq. The quality is great and their performance is on point. I remember buying their first album in New York City on a trip with my parents when I was like 15 or something. I'm 28 now and this still gives me that nostalgic romanticized feeling I had back then. Kinsellas make epic music.

Amazing.

YOU CAN'T MISS WHAT YOU FORGET

this drummer is amazing, the fact he is no longer on the band is such a great loss

This was the absolute highlight of my weekend. Best band on the lineup by a long long distance.

Its sad to see these guys so old now- you can hear it their voices... still such a beautiful show.

For Sure is my fave song by them, so calm, so sad, so beautiful.

right up there with radiohead in the musical greatness and recognition.

After constant stress and sadness and grief I can always trust Americans football to turn my mood around. These guys are incredible and my life goal is to see them live someday. Truly a great band

1. 00:00 - Stay Home 2. 07:18 - The One With The Wurlitzer 3. 10:05 - Honestly 4. 15:18 - For Sure 5. 19:00 - I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional 6. 23:49 - The Summer Ends 7. 29:04 - Never Meant 8. 33:30 - The 7's

I owe it to Real Friends for releasing their song "Home For Fall" and the lyric "and we could listen to American Football or talk about highschool, just like we did the years before." That lyric always stood out to me and I was intrigued who American Football was. I searched them up and found their song "Never Meant" and have been hooked on thier music ever since!

I just found out that this album got released 3 days before I was born and I almost cried.

i wonder how many people in the audience had heard of Capp n' Jazz?

I feel so sad that I missed this.

The sumner ends is my favorie, freaking amazing when they play it

I love that they played the 7's and honestly wish they would play it more. Ik it aint a popular song of theirs, but man it is so good. I'm so glad I got introduced to American Football and am a proud midwestern emo/king krule/hendrix guitar player. The guitar is beautiful in open tunings.

have my emo babies mike kinsella

Worked the festival and ran to see as much as i could in 15 mins, so beautiful man

Grew up listening to them. I'm happy that they found some success and recognition in present time. Love AF

That's life, so social. 😞

Nate's having such a great time lol :D

I love this set. It is so beautiful, and honestly can't wait for LP4

how good it must have been to be there. Who would've said that after so many years they would come back together and play a few gigs!

Watched this a billion times already...

This isn't the New England Patriots

I have chills. Just goes to show that some things never change.

Isn't this lovely? It's bands like this helps keep us all sane, back in the day and again lately. And meanwhile we've had Joan of Arc to amuse and perplex us according to Mr Kinsella's mood. Check those records too. There are plenty of reasons still to be pleased with life on this planet.

36:09 guy killing it

dem feels

I remember running to this set with a friend who had not heard of them and I was more excited to see these, than anyone else on the bill the entire weekend. The crowd for them was much smaller than what would gather in there for most of the other bands, but it wasn't a bad thing since it was nearly all of the fans that wanted to see them.

So happy to have seen them, was a cracking set. Such a shame there wasn't much of a turn out, but it did lead to a great atmosphere seeing as 90% of those there were die hard fans of AF.

SO glad I was there for this, the atmosphere was incredible.

Thank you for posting!

what do you even do in the crowd at an american football gig

Gracias por compartir tremenda presentación

I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional the bestttt

This is absolutely first-rate. What a brilliant band. I really enjoyed watching and listening to that; thanks for sharing it.

Wow. This makes me feel so sad and wonderful. Keep getting chills too.

I wish I was there. I would've cried just a little bit.

Holy crap. I wanna share this with so many people...especially one girl.

SO GOOD!

Es muy bonito ver una banda que esta ahí por la música y no por la fama, la plata, las mujeres o todo eso junto. Saludos desde Monte Grande, Argentina!
