For those of you who were away from a television set a couple of weekends ago {or for those of you attending the festival where Vampire Weekend was supposed to be playing} here are the two tracks that they played that night on SNL. I know that SNL is a rather limiting venue as far as live concerts are concerned and I wonder if the boys in Vampire Weekend have more fun with their songs when they’re not under the scrutiny of a million plus viewers.
mp3 : Vampire Weekend - A-Punk (Live on SNL)
mp3 : Vampire Weekend - M79 (Live on SNL)
Both tracks sound great live, but I seem to dig M79 a bit more. It just sounds great live. And for anyone still interested below is the entire touring list for Vampire Weekend in this current year. {Dates without a country listed are assumed to be in the USA}.
