I have been to countless live shows of every genre in my life…I truly feel that Local Natives may be the best I’ve ever seen. It’s ridiculous how good they are.

Wish they recorded an acoustic album of all their songs. Their live versions always sound incredible.

Alex Rizzutto We need MTV Unplugged back from the nineties! I still watch STP's, Nirvana's and Pearl Jam's unplugged shows regularly, and there are so many bands today that could do great things with acoustic instruments. This video is just one among many!

Crazy how big they are now....still one of my favorite tiny desks!

I already liked Local Natives but seeing this video made me love them even more.

Yess fellow black girl

They're singing many parts in octaves and I can tell you this is one of the hardest things in music because both parts Intonation needs to be absolutely on point. And these guys did it just perfect!!

Cards and Quarters sounded perfect. That's the way to do it.

Hearing these guys live at Osheaga this year was a true privilege. They are incredibly hard working and to say they sound amazing is an understatement. Local Natives are band everybody needs to see live to believe that they're one of the most outstanding and yet underrated bands in North America right now. You'd be kicking yourself if you decided to skip their set at any festival.

How can you dislike this video. Rare to find a band like this. With naturally good voices. Look at their other stuff

Cards and Quarters is such a masterpiece. The drumming is so tactful and subtly brilliant. And, my God, the harmonies...

Out of all the amazing live recordings of 'Airplanes', this is their best performance. Flawless. All 3 songs are expertly done.

I literally just found these guys about about hour ago and I honestly have never loved a band as much as I love these guys.

Yes please. I live in Avondale. Over the past number of years we have frequent visits from Avindale music fans looking for their band members. Please leave us alone, we are running out of avocado toast due to these ppl.

Attention everyone! There are approximately 161 people who hate, but, can't sing, nor play any instrument, that decided to put a thumbs down on this video.... shame on them. Local Natives live, is amazing... if only, this is what 2021 needs.

THAT FREAKIN BASS! No one cares about bass but it makes the music.

Wide Eyes = no words can describe this songs beauty. oh to see it with my own eyes.

Wide eyes got me Wide eyed thanks for the trip

Just saw them live in SD last Thursday. Before it, they already had a special spot in my heart, with their vocals feeling a little melancholy to me, and the beautiful & novel arrangement of their songs (esp dat percussion ;D). Seeing them live though.. man, I have to say it was a once in a lifetime, absolutely amazing show. I already can't wait for the next time I'll see them~

I was also there. I travelled all the way from Mexico City to San Diego just to see them. One of the best shows I've ever been on.

"Infectious" is the perfect word for their music.

One of the absolute greatest bands to listen to

Yeah just saw Local natives live. Wasn't even a huge fan at the time, but they absolutely killed it. So much energy, like it was one if their first shows. Also, before the show, one went on a bike ride, the other a run, and another had a kettle bell lol. Staying in shape I gues

Maaaaaaaaaaan these guys are so damn good!! Love them..summer days...sweet surf and a girl in my arms...melodies of pure heart felt love! Keep going Local Natives....you fill so many souls and hearts! Big beautiful hugs! x

Came from a opening band 10 years ago to now in 2020 making it big. Patience is key

Have watched this dozens of times. Still magical. Love me some Local Natives.

This is one of the best live performances I've ever heard; even my Dad's feel'n it- really timeless talent.

This is why I love Local Natives, such a remarkably majestic band.

Pure, raw, music. Finally. This is awesome.

This whole channel is just amazing. I love you NPR. And Local Natives!

it's crazy that this was 8 years ago ! how time flies ! 2011 was such a good year

killer stache killer music

This album was truly elite

Their voices give me chills. So amazing!

still beautifull in 2024

The tiny desk concert series is just so awesome. I know I am not the only who thinks they sound better here than on the record. Its the same for many bands.

this is/was/always will be amazing

Love the Local Natives even better acoustic. 🎸 🎼🎶

good. but on their Take Away Show, they were amazing. Idk how that channel always has the best sound when filming in weird locations

Still watching this years later!! There's definitely been a drop off in music like this recently ... Local Natives never fail!

This video makes me realize that my biggest regret in life, was not studying music and trying to form a band with my best friends.

Wow! I am blown away! Such great musicians

love local native!

This really feels like REAL “music” 🥺❤️❤️ you don’t hear that too often anymore? My new favorite song!!!

I was not expecting what came out of them. I really enjoyed this.

love the percussion on this!

that guy is one of the best damn drummers you will find in Indie-influenced music :)

I've seen this video so many times, and I just can't get tired.

they always sound so amazing.

ahh, nothing like great harmonies after a long day

This is such an awesome performance. I always have to come back to it!

These guys are fantastic. Thanks for showcasing them!

every one of them plays such a huge role in the harmonies and ah i love it, perfect

it just looks like everyone in the band should be named "Travis".

I LOVE THESE TINY DESKS CONCERTS!! every single one i've seen I've absolutely LOVED!!

props to the guy on the right rocking the broccoli top a solid decade before it took off

This makes me so happy. I just love them.

I like it, and thought I would being that I like pretty much everything that the Tiny Desk Concerts puts on. But why would people click on this, and then decide they should devote energy to telling people they didn't like it? Why? Why? Why... If you don't like it, leave the page.

saw these guys at the Disney concert hall in L.A. a few years back and that show was amazing and in a amazing venue.

How could anyone dislike this??! This is pure talent!

NPR I've listened to so many of your Tiny Desk Concerts is not even fathomable.

NPR tiny desk concerts: Infinitely better than BBC live lounges.

NPR seriously needs to make a "Tiny Desk Concerts" album off of these recordings. I enjoy many of them more than the recorded albums.

Earth wind water fire heaven they all harmonize

I don't know how many times I've watched this video. Just love it

.."could it ever be on Earth as it is in Heaven?"

Beautiful. I've watched it 20+ times and still never get bored. ANOTHER SESSION PLEASE :)

Taylor and Kelcey's harmonies always give me chills..

Those harmonies are unworldly.

forever and a day, always! so good!

Of course this is amazing...it is impossible not to fall in love with everything Local Natives does. I wish they had done "World News" for this Tiny Desk Concert, though! It's all about NPR, after all. :)

This performance is what turned me on to Local Natives. Still love it

Just saw them at ACL. Hands down one of the most sincere, best performances in the festival.

I was actually waiting for "oooohWOOOOAHH-WOOOOAHHH" thing that usually happens around 8:35. Are these guys phenomenal or what

Definitely one of my new favourite bands. Awesome sound.

I saw these guys in Isla Vista near UCSB in 2008 as a freshman in college and look at them now 😢👏

Seeing Local Natives play in concert... I've never seen a band so tight. They could have been pretending to play along to their album and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Such great tunes and their harmonies are eerily beautiful. Love this band!

This is the video that introduced me to Local Natives. I'm exceedingly glad that I clicked this when it showed up on the sidebar. Literally life changing

This is so f**cking relaxing

These guys make my soul bounce. They’re so deliciously creepy and talented, I get instahappy when I hear their trademark sound.

Beautiful , harmonies were spot on, excellent band

Airplanes live is just magnificent

this is the best version of the song.. directo al corazón!! gracias!!

cards and quarters is maybe my favorite LN song. it's perfect...
