What a set and what a performance by this amazing genius!

[JoshLuke]

Respect to anyone here listening. Feeling good right now, i love Father Bong Misty.

[devinmcandrew-greiner]

I was at this show, second row, and after FJM says "don't you wish the internet was here, right now" you can hear me yell "It's in your heart!" and then FJM is like "this next song is called the internet is in my heart."

[chrisbriggs]

This version of "Nothing Good Ever Happens At The Goddamn Thirsty Crow" is fucking incredible

[JoeRivermanSongwriter]

Don't panic everybody. Everything's gonna be ok.

[markdarnell]

FJM (Tillman) is like the Dostoyevski of pop music! He's a bit overwhelming, and he asks a lot from the listener, but there are some Transcendent moments here - especially the extended version of "Birdie"! The arrangements are incredibly nuanced, and his Musicians are TIGHT! Obviously - Josh is a Task Master! Something this expansive and ambitious could only come out of a Hyper-active, Manic Brain! It's one thing to have a Vision, and quite another to manifest it to this degree! RESPECT!!!

[LeroyBrown]

Facebook John Myspace at his wacky antics again. Can't wait to see him in Toronto this summer.

[chrispariseau]

Great set. This album put a shit year into much needed perspective for me, helped me discover a true artist, and made me dance by the stereo a bit. You can’t ask for more than that really.

[luchilenium]

1:07:57 - I love that the audience joins in to do to the laughing and applause at this point of the song. Just gives this vibes of everyone working together for the effect :)

[rowanmclaughlin]

This is literally the best video I've ever watched. I love Josh, he's such a talent

[AudibleVisibIe]

Best performance ever recorded of when you're smiling and astride me. Jesus christ that was a religious experience

[dicdega]

The more I see and listen to thy Father John Misty the more I endorse his methodology and talents, so don't ever stop, nor become discouraged, continue to persist without giving up and thy shall succeed.

[jennyb]

10 months later, and this show is Haunting. The joy of being able to listen to it on a Rainy Saturday is real.

[armandomendez]

Sumbitch! this guy really lays the wood on humanity

[Hella-cones]

Am I the only one who still gets chills at the crescendo at the end of Ballad of a Dying Man? My god, FJM killed it in this performance.

[Gavdrake]

All of his shows look amazing but this one takes the cake, he's so great here!

[LonkinPork]

It's such a small detail, but the way he pulls the mic off its stand at 3:57 and starts pacing like a comedian adds so much to that opening performance of Pure Comedy.

[leosand]

The end of Ballad of The Dying Man gives me the chills

[alittledropofpoison]

the sound quality on this is crazy good. try listening to it on headphones.
