*Headphones are recommended for this video.

Filmed in one continuous shot on August 14, 2009 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. All visual effects were done in the camera, as I was shooting. This film is dedicated to Les Paul, who passed away yesterday. r.i.p.

The Walkmen set off the Guggenheim's "It Came From Brooklyn" concert series with an unbelievable show. Here, they are performing the anthemic winter-jam "In The New Year," in Frank Lloyd Wright's spacious Rotunda.

"Without Les Paul, I don't exist

without Les Paul there are no multi-track effects on musical recording

without multi-track there is no ability to layer guitar effects

without layering guitar effects the Beatles don’t cross the pond

without the Beatles crossing the pond, the South doesn’t get rock fever

without Southern Rock, there is no Allman Brothers

without the Allman Brothers, there’s no Allman Joys performing in Tampa

without those shows, my Mom doesn’t visit and end up going to USF

without my Mom going to USF my parents don’t meet

without my parents meeting there is no me …

so without Les Paul - there is no me

The impact artists can have is usually deeper than anyone can imagine."
