\n\tLike many of us, Vampire Weekend<\/a> turned Monday\u2019s total eclipse into a party. Except in their case they invited about 5,000 friends along for a special afternoon show at the Moody Amphitheatre in Austin, TX for a livestreamed concert that featured the live debut of a handful of songs from the group\u2019s new Only God Was Above Us<\/em> album and cameos from special guests.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe gig \u2014 which took place on singer Ezra Koenig\u2019s 40th birthday in front of a backdrop with an image of the phases of the eclipse \u2014 found the band opening with the album\u2019s first track, \u201cIce Cream Piano,\u201d followed by the live debuts of new songs \u201cClassical,\u201d \u201cConnect,\u201d \u201cGen-X Cops,\u201d \u201cCapricorn,\u201d \u201cDiane Young\u201d and \u201cHope.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe guys took a 10-minute break about an hour into the show to give fans time to experience the eclipse as the skies turned dark over the Lone Star capitol, then stormed back with a back half that included some guests. The first cameo featured Phoenix singer Thomas Mars for a cover of the French group\u2019s \u201cTonight\u201d from 2022\u2019s Alpha Zulu<\/em> \u2014 which the two singers had never performed live before \u2014 followed by a duet with Chromeo singer Dave 1 on that band\u2019s 2004 single \u201cNeedy Girl.\u201d Taking advantage of a rare opportunity, singer Koenig asked the two native French speakers to regale the audience with a bit of \u201cFrench banter,\u201d which included Mars wishing Koenig a happy born day and the two men leading the crowd in a round of \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d in French.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe set also included some of the band\u2019s most beloved songs as well, including \u201cUnbelievers,\u201d \u201cCape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,\u201d \u201cHarmony Hall,\u201d \u201cOxford Comma\u201d and \u201cA-Punk,\u201d ending with a nearly 15-minute jam on \u201cCocaine Cowboys\u201d that folded in bits of their 2019 tune \u201cMarried in a Gold Rush,\u201d as well as Larry Gatlin\u2019s \u201cAll the Gold in California,\u201d Gram Parsons\u2019 \u201cSin City\u201d and the Grateful Dead\u2019s \u201cCumberland Blues.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe full show streamed<\/a> on the Veeps platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
