Mitski At The 2017 Boston Calling Music Festival (Full Set)

May 28, 2017 – Easily one of the most powerful and captivating performances at Boston Calling 2017 belongs to 27-yr-old, Mitski. Under threatening skies, she performed a number of songs from her 2016 release, Puberty 2, as well notable tracks from her earlier works. After her fiery set, Mitski told Front Row Boston, “I am a natural introvert-- it’s not that I become a different person on stage – I think I finally become myself on stage.” We look forward to what comes next for her!

mitski during songs: angst, screaming, impeccable talent

mitski talking: softest voice ever i would literally die to have an audiobook read by her

[lin-jigf]

shes so like... cool. shes like the definition of cool. how mysterious she is?? the fact she plays the bass? her chilling vocals??? her genuinely deep the COOLEST woman alive.

[hamburgerhepme]

she’s like the marceline of this dimension

[thischickkej]

the applause after drunk walk home wasn't loud

[juvyjuvy]

ok ok im not pointing fingers but the transition between singing and screaming in drunk walk home might be why im gay just a theory.

[kailalee]

Is anyone gunna talk about Mitski practically eating the mic because that’s probably the moment I completed surrendered myself to my love for her

[forgot]

"Drunk Walk Home" Best song I've ever heard and I am 65 years old. We have been blessed by Mitski

[mangomaking]

when francis forever starts at 4:35 you can hear someone in the audience immediately go "oh my god. oh my god" (it's easier to hear with earbuds, in the right ear)

[lausagna]

i know this video is old, but to everyone commenting you dont like her voice or that she sucks, pls remember literally no one fucking cares lmao. its good that u have an opinion but maybe keep it to urself if u have nothing else to say except for "she sucks". mitski puts a lot of thought in her songwriting, its full of symbolisms and storylines, and she also focus more in emotion that vocal technique, but shes very good at controlling her own voice, quickly changing between headvoice and chestvoice. not to mention her songs are about woc's experiences. pls understand that before bashing her lol dont discredit her genius writing just bc ur experiences dont fit within hers. edit: its literally all men commenting shes bad without giving any actual criticism???

[LouBloom-fpxq]

The soft “stay safe, have a good day” after she was yelling into the mic killed me, the duality-

[wibblers]

I love how she kinda gets into a head space when she starts a song... like you can see in her face her shifting from her general self to the person singing the song, or maybe to herself and how she felt when she first wrote and produced it. Ugh her mind...

[avabiagini]

the drummer looks like he’s really enjoying himself

[kiayaalexander]

I love that ' Drunk Walk Home' sounds like it starts with angry knocking on a bedroom door.

[Blookibloo]

Everyone’s talking about drunk walk home but, dude I bet on losing dogs sounded so GOOD

[florascentts]

is anyone else painfully and irrevocably in love with her? my heart is panged and i regret living in texas.

[tlalocgarcia]

The crowd is not giving her what she deserves. But she managed it well<3

[riley-scarlett]

I want to be a mitski when I grow up lol

[fruityade]

drunk walk home actually sent me into a different dimension

[kenna]

im in love with her. Im in love with her talent and ability to truly express what it’s like to be a human. The hurt, yearning, loneliness, anger and selfishness; all of the ugliness that comes with being human. She conveys it all so beautifully and passionately in a way that makes us feel grateful to be human. Mitski makes me feel grateful that we, as humans, have created forms of art like this that allows us to connect to each other. oh i love her so much.
