Saw them in Zurich doing their second album. Absolutely amazing and brilliant. Saw them in Sydney a few years later. A new sound, curiously pedestrian performance, and an audience full of young slam dancers. A bit of a fail really.
I will always say this but ever since their original drummer left their music hasn’t been the same I know people change styles but it doesn’t have that feel they got too pop alternative imo but they still have great music they just don’t got that feel that teen to early 20’s angst
I think the performance is fine, Kele clearly has a laissez faire attitude to his vocals at times which is cool. I think the mix of the song is bleeding into your opinion of the overall performance
The mixing of this show sucks. They can pull this song off but yeah, you can't hear half of the fucking instruments in this rendition. Also the shirtless look doesn't quite work for the drummer:p aside from that, great song!
Racist camerawork... taking every opportunity to take focus away from Kele. A talent like his doesn't come along all too often, it's sad that now in 2018, most people don't give a shit about all the awesome songs he gave us back in the day.

so we've got kele and russel wearing casual clothes, gordon looking like he just returned from a funeral and matt shirtless
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Trying to find a festival performance where Matt wears a shirt (I’m gonna be looking into the depths of everything)
Matt sure is one absolute beast on the kit 🥁
hes the best drumer ever
Gosh the bass is insane .
I love Kele from Bloc Party , for he is a very successful song writer and rocker .
I was hoping they could pull this song off live..

I agree lol mmm bass
i hope the dude who mixed this was fired immediately.
Russell is definitely channeling Jonny Greenwood a bit.
la mejor era de bloc party
Creo que ese álbum es perfecto, los que siguieron no me gustaron la verdad.
Didn't know that Timothy Chalamet played in Bloc Party 😉
Ouch that snare is weak. It would do the song justice if you could actually here half of what Matt Tong was playing.
mmm bass.
Hahaha Kele your so funny
Dam Moakes is pale as hell here
I was there.
Sound for the crowd was shit.
Not their best live performance. The singing is too far off for listening. Insane drums are tweeked down but the bass is right on the money.
