It breaks my heart that I’ll never be able to experience this band in this fashion. Oh, how I wish I could have been there; it was just before my time, but I fell in love with Bloc Party when I was 16, 6 years after the release of this album and this gig. Thank you, thank you, thank you for uploading this little slice of time.
At least people like us will always have these videos. I saw them live last night and whilst it’s not quite the same, it’s a different kind of magic that still hits now :)

Been waiting for this one. I remember this used to be online on the venue website but got taken down. I ripped the audio of the answer from this performance, easily one if my favorite performances of any of their songs. Thanks Alexi.
Oh my GOD ALEXI HOW THE FUCK I thought I'd never see the full thing ever... at least we had The Answer but now the WHOLE THING? God damn Alexi you are a blessing
I remember watching this gig over and over on Fabchannel, probably 14 years ago. I really thought it was lost to the world when Fabchannel disappeared. Thank you, Alexi.
@@alxciaI dunno if they even exist, but if you happen to have boots of either the Glasgow Barrowland or Glasgow carling academy shows on the SA tour in said vault I’ll name any and all kids I have after you 😃
It is truly an epic and "never again" gig... BUT and it's an enormous but... Am I high or something because there's a lot of RUclips uploads that have a distinct, but very clear "swishhhh" sound to the audio? It's obvious and evident there's a problem with many of these videos. It is definitely not happening during the performances or at tapings depending on the source. SO WHAT THE FUCK IS IT?!!? It can't just be my stereo or wifi or phone?... Questions are: 1. Does anyone hear that? 2. Do you know what and why it shows up on videos? 3. How can it be fixed? Starting with this amazing performance? And... Go!
@@higherimagestatus4767 Ya... That's not the problem. I assure you the mix from the board on the day it was performed, it did not sound like that. It's not an "original source" problem. So that's not an viable or logical answer. I am not only talking about this particular sound scenario from this show or recording. It happens a lot and randomly with different kinds of video. There's standard record company releases, there's thousands of TV broadcasts or live recordings for wide release. But every so often there's videos that have that distinct swishing sound like someone is intermittently holding their hand over a speaker then taking it away, etc... So there's is an obvious and distinct issue in how they're released. It happens a lot and I'M SURE people have noticed it. I'm just trying to figure out what the fuck it is and the solution has to be out there and hopefully will be addressed. So don't try to tell me "it's just the way it is or it's from the sound board". Feel free not just throw out the easy and uninformed answer. It's insulting and frustrating.. No disrespect...

I actually remember watching it on the Paradiso website back in the day, now that you mention it.
@Higher Image Status This is pretty much it. At least for the original lineup
I agree! Prob my fav performance of us there’s from top to bottom. The way they play TML is otherworldly
Oh my GOD ALEXI HOW THE FUCK
I thought I'd never see the full thing ever... at least we had The Answer but now the WHOLE THING?
God damn Alexi you are a blessing
Juicebox riff at 25:17 lol
This line up is inrecplecable.
Oooh 2005.... great year for bloc party! Before kele got an ego and matt and gordon left
What an epic show... Best version of The Answer! You never disappoint Alexi 😎
Trying me best here Jason😉
Oh how I wish I was that dude crowd surfing & playing the air guitar during Little Thoughts. Legend.
They played The Answer at the end of encore with beautiful extra intro, which could be very epic scene for original line-up Bloc Party.
My favorite era of Bloc by far
I remember watching this gig over and over on Fabchannel, probably 14 years ago. I really thought it was lost to the world when Fabchannel disappeared. Thank you, Alexi.
Probably the best Silent Alarm era gig they did.
Black Session is up there too. They are #1&2.
Nice! You might want to add a 'flashing lights' warning, though!
Flashing lights warning on a video of a concert? Wtf
How deep is your Bloc Party Vault???
Very very deep
@@alxciaI dunno if they even exist, but if you happen to have boots of either the Glasgow Barrowland or Glasgow carling academy shows on the SA tour in said vault I’ll name any and all kids I have after you 😃
This was electric, I was ultimately lucky to have witnessed this show!
The Answer 🔥
This venue is so small in person
Great venue nonetheless

Shit.... this is the holy grail of early BP performances.... thank you as always Alexi
Miss my pioneers
Amazing video
Amazing
Thank you sooooo much !!
What is Gordon doing at the end 😂
Lol I miss him
What is the entrance song here?
So here we are !!!! One of their best songs
So here we are.
He means the song before they arrive on stage and play so here we are
the entrance song is an instrumental version of idioteque by radiohead
@@blocpartyrocker thought I recognised it 😂
Miss you bro
We’ll meet again my friend
