Oh man acoustic Tegan and Sara are the best. The Con will always be my favorite album of all time.

They need to release an acoustic CD. Their electronic sound is cool and all but it just sounds like everything else on the radio. This accoustic sound showcases their uniqueness and I love it!

PEACE LOVE I'm not a huge fan, but I got turned onto them hearing an acoustic set, so the rest of it weirds me out a bit. Don't get me wrong, I love well done synth.. shit, my fav bands are The Cure, Depeche Mode etc, and they kill that shit. Point being, I def appreciate their simpler stuff more. I do dig the song they did with Tiesto though. It was pretty decent. You know, the song about feeling boners.

Tegan and Sara are a hidden gem. I have loved them since "Back in your head". That is so long ago! The way Tegan(are they always left to right?) grabs the hair off Sara is such a sister move.

Tegan and Sara's acoustic stuff is so good! I like it more than the pop version of these songs.

This means so much to me when I was alone during the pandemic and I had this to listen to and I loved it, and did not feel alone, never get rid of this please 😅

This performance reminds me of a dream I had just last night...wild. I've always known of Tegan and Sara but admittedly never listened to them..what a surprising lovely treat this was, so raw and sweet and genuine. Loved it.

THANK GOD FOR THIS

I wish my patents played music when I was growing up. As soon as I left home and got myself a Walkman, there not been many days without music in my life. Music can be so powerful and uplifting for the spirit!

I love their harmonies. They are, and always have been, unique.

Talented, great singer's and sense of humor. I mean WOW! Their a package deal.

Heard the name but never the music. Took me about two seconds to fall deeply in love.

I agree, these girls are special. I also enjoy hearing their voices without too, too much studio tweaking. They are gifted with instruments that have the 'it' factor, that is why the acoustic versions are so delightful. Great set ladies.

I've never been so curious about what is on the ceiling of the tiny desk office

Oh yeah, they are great. I like very much. LOVE and RESPECT from The Netherlands.

Gosh, this is such a good recording! Love this acoustic set! and my god, they are stunning with barely any makeup on: stunning!

I love the write ups in the info tab that npr always put. amazing

I like the little kids comment at the very end “that was really nice singing!”

They are so awesome! Great performance and band.

Beautiful performance and their show at 9:30 Club brought it to the next level - I think I will remember that night and day to follow for a long time to come!

They're so awkward and genuine and SPECIAL. Still listening in 2020!

just watched again and STILL AMAZING

Been following them for many years and think they are great song writers and love how they perform and have fun doing it. Love hearing the acoustic versions of songs.

Wow ladies, I really didn't know you. I work at a daycare, some 4th-6th graders introduced me to your music. Great job, great misc! Love it All!,🤗😍😎🙆💃🤘🖖🤙👏👏👏

I love these ladies....they are so amazing, entertaining and funny.

So amazing hearing the old and new Tegan & Sara ❤️

my heart leaped with joy when I saw this and now watching it is a highlight of my day. ah!!! ❤️

they could not be any more adorable and talented

Absolutely incredible! This made my whole week two seconds in. Wow. ❤️😍

I don't think there is a set of identical Canadian twins I love more. These ladies are so, so, so special... I wish I could thank them personally for their art. It has helped me so much whilst I am wasting away with a beyond rare disease in my brain that has no name, and is killing me slowly, and subsequently forcing me to subconsciously push away all of my loved ones. Why am I telling this story...? Thank you Tegan and Sara, and thank you NPR for these tiny desk concerts. I listen to them daily. ✌💚🎵

Beautiful music, the sound of the piano is superb. I'm quite amazed.

their voices and so genuine and raw in this i love itt

Love this. Thanks T&S, the harmony is spot on.

I remember seeing them back in 2000 in Ottawa for this event called Futuretrek. I was like "who are these two". They were amazing and I knew they were going somewhere. So glad to see they have been doing amazing since then. This is a great recording, thanks for doing this!
