It's clear that in these moments the bass player is doing exactly what he wants to be doing with his life

This is probably THE BEST performance he's ever given of "Writing A Novel". It's so fucking good.

It's brilliant, isn't it? I got into FJM through Honeybear and Fear Fun didn't immediately click, but this performance made me love the song.

You're probably right! What a great song. I feel like he's fully channeling some Jim Morrison spirit on that one.
that boys and girls is called "stage presence".

Give it up for Mitch Hedburg on bass everyone!
Am I the only one who loves it when he dances? Just seeing someone get so lost in their music while performing is a sight to see, plus it helps that the music is so good.

I watch this often, not too many singer/songwriters/musicians that impress me these daze but I lift a glass for the Father, the boy has a way with words.
This version of "Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings" just gave me the major chills. When they come back from that abstract section..... epic.

That yell sounds like Jim Morrison. I just love this guy. Great music, amazing voice, and his not a pretentious asshole like a lot of the other men in the biz. He isn't taking himself serious, but when it comes to music he is always on point. Glad he is just being who is and not living this alter personality when he performs. He just looks like he's having a good time. And it makes it that much more fun to watch. Would love to see Father John Misty live! Maybe one day.

Give that audio engineer a raise!
Pretty sure I’ve contributed about 730k of the views on this video
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish he had played "this is sally hatchet" but WOW. it's a lot like.... the beatles circa 1965-1966, or Dylan going electric. freaking LOVE this guy. great videos too. hilarious man.
The conversation he had with Cheryl from around 10:00 to around 16:30 made me hopeful for the future of current indie music standouts like Phoebe Bridgers. I can't wait to see where she, and others, go with their music once they quit pandering or adhering to this crazy ideal of the introspective, depressed, self-obsessed songwriter aesthetic that is so expected by all of us modern indie music fans. I doubt that anyone can reach the heights that FJM has and will continue to progress toward... but the wake up call to all those songwriters out there who so comfortably write self-pity-for-profit albums is still inspirational.
It's been 8 years and this just remains absolutely amazing.
Love of Christ, Father John Misty is a frikkin' national treasure.
I'm so glad people are still making music like this.
My Gawd... Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings
Absolutely fantastic. Unbelievable sound for a live performance. Kudos as well to the engineers.
This is an astonishingly strong performance. It’s absolutely brilliant.
It has been a very long time since I was smashed away by music like the way I am now. I've been listening to these guys for a couple of weeks. Every time it feels like magic, but in a more raw way. Every time again.
Real music from real musicians. Everyone needs to listen to Father John Misty.
Performances like this, randomly discovered, are what makes this slipping down Life briefly beautiful. To the Band and all at KEXP total love and respect.
THIS IS AMAZING. & TIMELESS.
Im Writing A Novel is literally a combination of Ballad of John and Yoko and Paperback Writer

Joab Cervantes I believe he was trying to appeal to a community of music listeners who likely share his musical tastes so that he could prove a point, gain some approval and yes, perhaps engage in some self indulgence. Regardless, I would contest the claim that Josh Tillman is a hack in any way, and I would love to hear your reasoning behind it.
They're having so much fun. I love it.
This band is so tight. Listen to all of the parts. Really special and from the KEXP studios(Seattle) Wonderful performance by a live unit. More
They were all in the pocket for "I'm Writing a Novel". And Cheryl Waters -- YES. She is always so good with the bands in the studio.
You stay on another upper level. Thaks.Barcelone loves you
I love every version of the songs played here more than the versions on the album, which, of course, is saying very much a lot. %#$@#$ Father John Misty is absolutely incredible.
god every time i watch a performance by fjm i'm just blown away, absolutely incredible, amazing voice, such detailed layered music, subtle smart lyrics, and such intelligence and honesty, really a one of a kind artist
I’ve seen many of his live performances but honestly right here I think this is the best, the band is tight and the vocals are raw and perfect.
Probably his best performance of Nancy From Now On that I've ever seen
It is so great how she makes him so vulnerable. He seems so honest. Great Interview and FJM is amazing. I am entranced. He is Tragically Hip in many ways... wink wink !
I think I view this every day.
KEXP and FJM two of my favorite things...
What a voice!! And lyricist too! And overall enigmatic and charismatic beyond any other artist around. Yeah FJM X
Its not possible to love him any more than I do. XOXO
The beeestttt song eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I have been watching/listening to this gig a few times since, and others later, and it seems to me amongst the best performance of FJM. Just so good! He really feels into it.
God what a performance (first song) Drum beat with mallets in Nancy is so good
Great songs. Great band. The first song reminds me of Ballad of John and Yoko.

Fantastic performance... all of them... backing musicians are top notch. Great video.🎶🎸🎵🎤🎚
Discovered this man today - magic They reminds me of Steve Earle + The Dukes when they did Guitar Town Great music 🎼 🎸 ❤
There is a , we cannot forget.
I have watched this video at least five times a day since it dropped...one of my favorite albums right now...
The sound is above and beyond anything a listener would expect from a live radio show. Kudos to whoever made that happen.
Very inspiring. Really appreciate his music and his ideals. I am an amateur artist but it is cool hearing his view on things and understanding Father John Misty and the album. Cool dude.
I'm very happy I got to see this line up perform live on the Fear Fun tour by far still one of the best live acts iv seen. The drummer you see here was only around for a short time, the fear fun tour featured a more badass drummer who fit the style of the music way better then the drummer you see here. Its actually kind of a bummer that most of this line up doesn't play in FJM anymore they were really special live
His old stuff was great, he shouldn't be so hard on that. Now he's proving his ability to experiment and evolve from that (it's fear fun).
Best ever. Thank you for being another me Joshie. I am you and you are me, only at a different point of the same awareness. Unity consciousness .. 🙏 namaste
Great now I have to listen to Nancy From Now On 400 times this next week
Movin’ Rockin’ All of them are tuned in…… Singer is feeling this 🎸 🎶 yeah
I love Josh Tillman's music and this is not a petty attack, just a thing I find interesting. Have you noticed that his profile, the structure of his face, changes drastically as you view it from different angles. Like he becomes 5 different people if you pan 180 degrees, side of face to other side of face. It's something I've never seen before. It took me a while to keep an image of him in my minds eye because I had seen 5 different videos and he looked like five different dudes in each of them. It's really odd. Am I the only one who notices this?

I must say, the Host, Cheryl Waters, always seems so engaged with the artists and their music. KEXP has introduced me to some really great music, Thank You !
I'm totally going to get a sweater like his.
When the drummer is singin along you know the song is hot. HFCS is too good.
WOW!!!! Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings is DA BOMB
Love this guy. On heavy rotation these days. Just fabulous stuff. Anxious for his next album.
Just saw this guy @ Mohawk in Austin. Great show and I can't get enough. Keep bein' bad ass Father John Misty.
haha, in the interview you can tell he's still in novel-writing mode. Great vibes! Love it!
Here's to Father John Misty! Totally cool voice and the songs are intense! I don't want to come off sounding like I'm in marketing and sales, but hey, I can't resist.
Joshua...Harry Nilsson just called me from heaven. He's crying tears of joy.
Bless your heart J.T. And yes, I second your comments on the ridiculousity {sic} of identity....
Those hips!!! !! !
Extraordinary. Thank you very much.
i miss this drummer!!! his feel is way better.
Sheryl makes this!!!! Ty!❤
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A bright light force!
He's hilarious, love it.
What a great performance.
that last song scared the shit out of me....
Very good point. I think they are the backbone of a band and hold it all together
I love this guy.....he sounds amazing live!!!!
this made me want to get up and dance lol
I've been saying that forever. You are so right.
J. looks pretty happy to be out from back of the drums. What a great album Fear Fun is.
essa versão de writing a novel PITA QUE PARIU SENSACIONAL DEMAIS ❤️❤️❤️❤️ agora nem da mais pra voltar pra versão de estúdio.
The bassist is delightfully weird - and a great player!
So much yes
Amazing.
So Good!
goddamn, I can't wait to see them live in september.
