As a music lover on the wrong side of 30... i'm finding it harder and harder to get excited by new bands/artists, but this guy gets me excited in a way that takes me back to being a teenager again. It's great to see that in 2019 there's still room for great honest indie/rock/guitar music.
There’s so much out there. I’m not sure what you see in this guy, he’s just Bruce Springsteen but English. He’s not doing anything new. He’s good yes but evoking a nostalgic feeling isn’t the goal of new artists. You aren’t going to find that anywhere unless you are listening to bands who are purposely evoking older music - The 1975, M83 throwback to 80s pop, and Sam Fender, heartland rock.
@@musicalman1995 Hey! I appreciate your comment, but ultimately music is a subjective experience and i'm just giving how i felt listening to Sam Fender for the first time. I never said that there wasn't any new music out there in the current day, just that i'm not particularly excited by what is out there right now. That may be because music has moved on from what got me excited as a teenager, which is ultimately what i still love now, guitars at the forefront and honest songwriting. But everyone has a different relationship with music, and i'm glad that's the case since it's that subjectivity that makes it so interesting!
@@ronaldcox3369 So true. Bang on in fact. Have been following him for ages and..to compare him to Springsteen is just lazy. He's so much more than that. No music is ever truly new because everyone is influenced. Hope the media machine doesn't swallow him up and spit him out and that good people are looking after him.

Every so often an artist arrives and tries to recover the dying scene of real music. I'm glad this time it is Sam Fenders. Thanks mate. Few of us still believe in real music, we may not be big in numbers but we are here.
Tinker Tailor I get what you mean I definitely prefer ‘real music’ to some stuff out nowadays but all music is ‘real’ and all music is subjectively, in its own right, good or bad. So can’t really just say that as music is different now to 30 yrs ago or whatever it isn’t as good or that it isn’t ‘real’
"Real music" god I fucking hate that mindset. There's always been good and bad music throughout the generations all the way back to the damn stone age and today is no different. Although, similarly to yourself I do prefer older music generally however I can also admire new music, just remember it's all about taste.
Every person who likes music should have experienced Sam live. That sweeps you away - this amazing voice, the authenticity, these incredibly good songs.
He still takes a big stinking poo down the toilet that probably takes two flushes to flush like the rest of us fuckers though. Looks are everything. Get under it.
Never been so in love with a song, the borders is fucking sensational. Real music, not bad for a young man from North Shields. Borders is a song about a bloke that lives in the Scottish Borders in a village called yetholm. Sam fender is gonna take over. His band are fucking phenomenal and they have so much fun performing. Amazing
that crowd is pathetic......i heard there was trouble getting in..but this performace is epic...could of played to 50,000 easy. deserves more people looking back at him
He was the opening act and the queues meant folk didn't get into see him, plus he wasn't anywhere near as well known then as he is now. In comparison he's third on this years bill behind courteeners and Ian Brown, as opposed to being the bottom of the main stage bill for what was arguably TRNSMT's weakest line up.
@@andyfulton9603 last support this year now that Ian brown pulled out he deserves that spot tho he was unbelievable at Leeds this weekend was screaming at the top my lungs the whole way through but aye I was in the crowd for this one only got in for the last 2 tunes tho cause the queues were fucked
This boy is going to be worldwide super star seen some off the biggest bands work there way to the top over the years this kid is the best I’ve seen since springsteen good luck hard work pays off
Big Geordie boots to fill, Lindisfarne, Sting, Animals, Brian, Maxie and Mitch, Tom Mitchell and many more, but young SAM and the band just might be the cream of the crop, not surprised its a Shields lad that could give rock the kick in the pants. NE 29 FOREVER.
Listening to Sam playing live in Gosforth Park outside Newcastle upon Tyne from our home as I type this. We live about 1:5 miles from the gig - sounds good and loud! very clear, like a radio in the garden next door!
The kid dont miss a friggin note, been listening for a couple of months or so now and love the album. Think Sam may be the saviour of music even for someone who's probably considered over the hill (me that is !!)
Chloe H a lot of people didn’t know any of his music, i think if he was to play next year, everyone would know him. It’s like lewis capaldi last year at trnsmt
Aw when his face lights up after he realises the whole crowd are belting Hypersonic Missiles back at him
If by 'whole crowd' you mean 50 people at the front, then yeah.
Nosaj more than 50 there pal
louis2712l hahahaha sorry, 53
Nosaj HAHAHAHAHA so funny. Wanker
Nosaj nob
His smile when everyone started singing along to Hypersonic Missiles >>>>
i love him(:

Future headliner if ever there was one
Hopefully he'll be better for GB20 as he was I'll this year.
He's got that Brandon Flowers/Springsteen energy, definitely a future headliner
Haha you were right he is headlining this year
Sadly not 😢

You are the exact person in the comments who posts the timestamps I was looking for... Thank you
Just what I needed
Deserves the hype, hugely talented, very humble, has blown to pieces a dull & mundane music scene. Biggest breakthrough act since The Arctics!
my two favourite artists haha
Totally agree. I'm 37. I'm a musician. He is a massive talent and very exciting. Saw him in Brixton and I was stunned.
I'd put catfish in there too
He’s gotta be humble not many people make it from the north east
The Borders is just so good. Can’t stop listening to it.
Can't agree more, truly blown away.
The sax is absolute class
Same. It's now the only song I know
The Borders is fucking brilliant!
Chris S , My fav song in quite a while.

@@craigbryson427 hmm what a shame
Fucking awesome. He's saying things that matter and sounds amazing while doing it. You can't ask for more in music

Manon van der Linden a bunch of Sam’s songs are about sex and bullshit, he literally has a song named after weed lmao
@@pinkpanda9586 "Will We Talk" is literally about one night stands lmaoo

I did at st james park. Wow best gig I've ever been to❤
He's incredibly good
The drummer is killing it
The KB/Guitar dude is loving it too!
All his songs are brilliant, but play god is absolutely stunning.
*Makes me proud to be from Newcastle*
Mate same as me local hero he is
@JeffreyJefferson you really think?
Should've been higher on the bill
I'm 70, female and really enjoying this! Sam Fender is on my music list!
He is brilliant
How can someone be so talented and be so beautiful? Cheekbones and jaw carved by gods 🤤
He still takes a big stinking poo down the toilet that probably takes two flushes to flush like the rest of us fuckers though. Looks are everything. Get under it.
i dont know about that but sure his fucking talented
Where did this live event happened
@@codywilkinson3042 trnsmt in Glasgow
Great performance. Songs with guitar solos and saxophone. Lyrics like novels.
Like the best of the 80s. Sam Fender je keva !!!
Igor Mihajlovic Bucin he’s defo I big Bruce Springsteen fan
Was there on Saturday TRNSMT 23.. What a journey,, what a band... What a story.. Just love this so much..
The keyboard player is having some fun
he gets so into it and i love it
First time seeing Sam here back in 2019. Seen him again at TRNSMT last weekend and it’s crazy how much better he has become since this gig.
the bruce springsteen influence is so strong 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Not a bad thing one bit
4:40 ... just enjoy the music lol.
Can hear smiths influences too especially in millennial, he’s everything the music scene needs
Yep thats what i love about him! Great taste of influence compare to bunch of bands out thete
The Borders is so strong. Didn't appreciate that he could riff like that either
Absolute genius the borders.
Love that tune to death, but didn't like it here. In my opinion they're going a bit too fast here, and the acoustic guitar is way too loud.
Still strong 2 years later 👍🏼😂
Man hes underrated. Check his backstage videos out you'll see how good he is 🙏🏼
Should of been on later on in the day for more than half an hour, entrance was hectic and so many people missed him ;(
8432brown missed most of his set stuck in that queue fuck sake
Where was this ?
Cody Wilkinson Glasgow
Hope he makes it to a kinda Springsteen level.. Won't be easy.. Best of luck Sam fender rocking roller.. 👍 Dublin fan here..
I’ve run out of great things to say about Sam fender he’s just amazing and what a voice... every song from him is a hit !

I'm so happy that The Borders is on the album. That song is a belter. Fave track!
ive watched this more times than i would like to admit
Me too 😳
Same he is soooo good
makes me sad to see not that many people there know all the songs, I'd be sobbing and screaming
This boy is going to be worldwide super star seen some off the biggest bands work there way to the top over the years this kid is the best I’ve seen since springsteen good luck hard work pays off
He’s already been offered to be in a video from Ariana grande
just watched him headline this same festival last night
And you where correct ❤
It’s been years since I’ve heard a band play this well together they are playing perfect every live gig I’ve seen
Hard to believe he was on FIRST. Had to sprint to get there and boy it was worth it! Class.
Shame he deserves a much bigger crowd and a longer set. Organisers messed up there
fucking legend - finally getting all the recognition he deserves!
Superstar now pal ❤
How tf does he sound exactly like in his albums?! Sam you freaking great singer you. Hope he gets recognized even more!
Nothing from the last 10 years has really interested me but this guy is I incredible!!
My nephew put him on the car one day. Hooked ever since. He's incredible ❤
Love the pianist in the background rocking out
I've just this week got into Sam Fender believe it or not!! Quality 👌
That's sax in hypersonic missiles 😍damnn
I’m a recent convert and man am I glad to have discovered these amazing songs. Very excited about what this lad will do.
I heard hypersonic missiles on the radio and I’ve listened to him every day since then
Good midnight lockdown viewing. The good old days ha 🙌🏻🙋🏻♂️🙌🏻🏴
He's playing Fender 🎶
on his bday the fender guitar account said happy bday to our son😂
he's so talented man wow
There is so much fucking energy, I was bouncing, dancing sitting behind this fucking screen.
You and the band are absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!
He is something else.
I've been picking around The Borders for two days straight, and it ain't getting old. Yknow what I mean?
These British boys restore my bealive in modern music. Well done and greetings from Poland!
For a lad from Verne road a couple streets away from where a live it’s class to know a local lad is doing it.
Brilliant. 2024 I still listen to him everyday
Big Geordie boots to fill, Lindisfarne, Sting, Animals, Brian, Maxie and Mitch, Tom Mitchell and many more, but young SAM and the band just might be the cream of the crop, not surprised its a Shields lad that could give rock the kick in the pants. NE 29 FOREVER.
His smile omfg 23:44
2:03 too!!!!
Brillianr set, totally deserving of a longer set time and a set time later in the day for a bigger crowd... can’t wait to see you in November big man
Just amazing!!! His solo on borders is incredible, bloody love his music
Love the borders so much!
Hadnt heard of him until i seen this on bbc. Now i can't stop watching this and listening to him. Outstanding
I said it before, if i could buy stock in this kid I’d put everything i have on him! Lyrically genius and a set of pipes!
He's tremendous. I listen to him everyday in life. His lyrics are so relatable
Brilliant, just saw him live at Splendour in Oz. Amazing set
Dayum never heard of these guys before, they’re amazing
Wanted to see him so bad but couldn’t get in due to the delays 😭
He’s so beautiful and his voice is unrealll
Chill oot Leah haha

best gig since dk-roskilde 1979.... greatings from schleswig-holstein, germany
From Newcastle ❤️
I saw him twice life.....but no sax. The sax add s a lot to the bands music! Beautiful.......way to go go SAM FENDER!!!!
The kid dont miss a friggin note, been listening for a couple of months or so now and love the album. Think Sam may be the saviour of music even for someone who's probably considered over the hill (me that is !!)
Dude this is absolutely immense!!! I think the crowd really missed out!
‘Apart from Tom, Tom’s from France.
Anyone from France?
Just a bunch of Geordies and a French lad’ 🤣🤣
That last chorus of Hypersonic Missiles is so good
genious man
Cant wait to see this lad
Just sad cause I'm not one of the audience but still glad to know Sam Fender. Cause he's music is 🔥
bless the middle crowd for rlly hyping up the whole show
Einfach nur großartig!!
At around 26:25, you can hear brief chords from poundshop kardashians playing in the background and that’s magical. repeat button on smash mode
Kelin Escobar that’s so great oml
he was the best act in Hyde Park too, with Dylan and Young as support
Thanks to radio x i come across this genius!! Fucking tremendous, kick on lad!!
Sam deserves a lot more
He's done it all now ❤
Proud to be a Geordie ⚫️⚪️
The tide is turning - indie is back
it was never gone
Christ he sounds good live. Drummer is bloody good too....
Hope he plays at St James Park sometime that would be amazing ⚫️⚪️
that would be a madness
@@JorgeSanchez-wm2xf 10000%
He played twice in June last year
favourite video on youtube
Absolute quality. X
I'm a 58 years old punk with.3.sons one plays guitar god I hope he turns.out like Sam the blokes so sound and real class always prevails
i wish i was here so bad
check out Nova Blooms debut album shorter days
There’s so few people! Gulp. Wish we were there, he’s fucking amazing!!!
i live for deans smile
17:19 the slow and subtle rise in his pitch is a great touch
adore this man more than anything
Omg you can hear every instrument 😍😍
He will reach Adele statues, mark my words
i love him so much
his face when the crowd started singing hypersonic missiles omg
Man's gonna blow
easiest artist to mosh to and still everyone’s stood there like it’s a stand still competition
Chloe H a lot of people didn’t know any of his music, i think if he was to play next year, everyone would know him. It’s like lewis capaldi last year at trnsmt
You cant really move because there were so many people it went back to the tents
Drummer💕👌🏼
I’m looking forward you coming to Japan 😍
