Isaac kills Born to Run! Holy crap. He makes it sound like he wrote it - with how much energy he puts into the vocal. Truly a once and a life time performer and songwriter.
“Wow, they are probably covering some experimental or post-punk or maybe jazz covers” Springsteen, Led Zeppelin and Christmas songs. I mean, I’m not disappointed tho, this stuff is fire
although his voice sounds a lil silly sometimes he’s genuinely a really good and effective vocalist. like out of these three incredible vocalists i’d say geordie is far and away the best.
@@tyde4610 Completely agree! He's very, VERY good when he doesn't do his theater-style-bryne-esque-voice (as much as I like that). I like Isaac and Cameron's voice too, but Geordie is a stronger singer imo.
@@LouSmith I don't doubt it, I guess its more funny that they're singing like an R&B song with stylized inflection but the backing vox have no stylization at all. They're saying it like they're speaking or something haha
Yeah, i was only messing anyway. Clearly these are all sons and daughters of the bourgeosie, so R & B is not their native tongue. They are mostly pretty English about stuff.
@@citizenwilliams8792 I think it’s the one on 12/23. Bmblackmidi tumblr showed a post about it and I remember seeing it just not sure if it’s the same concert
Georgia has her solo project jockstrap, so gets to give full expression to her voice. This was the first time I had any inkling of what she was packing though.
@@LouSmith I am happy he is taking the time he needs and hopefully getting some help. I'd rather see them continue without him as lead singer than have another Ian Curtis situation on our hands :-(
when was this recorded? geordie mentioned 2 incredible albums coming out "early next year" which would surely mean early 2022 if this was recorded in 2021, lp3 very soon????
@@LouSmith thanks man. Greetings from Colombia. These musicians are amazing and you are doing the right thing by uploading this. PD: Can I get some context about the vocalist from black midi is talking at the end?
Glad you like it. This performance is part of a charity livestream to help financially to keep important grass roots live music venues survive closure due to Covid, specifically here the windmill in Brixton.
@@LouSmith We can make everything possible trough art brother!! Im sure you guys are going to recollect alot!! All my best hopes from Cali, Colombia! Never stop creating and believing in art
this is the scene on main street, when santa comes to town
Lou is an unsung hero for us fans that live outside London
Thanks TrashPigeon. I do get sung sometimes. It feels good.
This!!
@@turnleftaticeland n
Georgia doing the lead vocals with the boys doing backing vocals on forget you gives me heavy girlboss vibes
Deffo heavy girlboss
Oh my God, have you heard yourself?
i love her shes so talented
I love that these really experimental bands come together to do really straightforward and normal covers of mainstream classic songs
See: Gira and Stewart on 'Under Pressure'.
Isaac kills Born to Run! Holy crap. He makes it sound like he wrote it - with how much energy he puts into the vocal. Truly a once and a life time performer and songwriter.
He does nail it. It was tricky knowing who was going to cover each part of the song. Isaac was sitting down in a dark little spot.
“Wow, they are probably covering some experimental or post-punk or maybe jazz covers”
Springsteen, Led Zeppelin and Christmas songs.
I mean, I’m not disappointed tho, this stuff is fire
Christmas crowdpleasers!
isaac kinda carries the springsteen vocals wayyy better than i wouldve expected lmao
Geordie KILLS it on born to run
and how!!!

@@tyde4610 hes got a strong voice and good vocal control, it’s undeniable
Georgia looks so cool here holy fuck
She is pretty cool it must be said. She totally owns Forget You!
I am embarrassed by how hard I simp for Georgia.
It's a common enough ailment.
you should be
god i wish i could be as cool as georgia
She’s cool and deadly.
strong stevie wonder vibes
dont we all
The cover of Forget You is a blast
It's the best!
I love Isaac on Born to Run but holy shit Geordie coming in with that Springsteen bravado was just perfect
There were reports of pants pissing when Geordie came to sing.
@@LouSmith I believe it
TBE
Isaac's voice fits surprisingly well that 1st Born to run verse
Babe wake up new Lou windmill upload
Haha. How come your babe is always asleep?
I want to have friends
when John Fifty is coming to town
fav when ellery sings "forget you"
Every right thinking person’s favourite!
I have watched this so many times and still won't get tired of these covers, especially Born To Run and Forget You
Same.
You have got to be kidding me. These are honestly some of the most LEGENDARY covers ever. Holy Blakmidoly
LEGENDARY TBE
Oh I’ve missed this. BABY WE WERE BORN TO RUNNNNNN
and still with sticky hands i bolted through the gallery
with cola stains on my best white shirt
and nothing to lose-
BABY WE WERE BORN TO RUUNNNNNNN
Nice segue.
Hearing a bunch of british people say “aint that some shit” is so funny 8:38
Pretty sure us Brits invented ain’t and shit. Not necessarily together in a song, but ...

I actually come back to this video often to listen to born to run
Yeah it rocks! And conveniently it's right at the beginning.
Oh shit, I thought this band was some band who does covers of black midi and bcnr, but it’s really them lol
It truly is.
God I love this shit so much. Long live the windmill! You are a god send Lou!
🙏 my men. Long live the Windmill
Honey get the kids the Ceelo Green tribute band are here to play Butlins

Maybe I'll change my mind come Movember.
Lewis during Forget You lol
Isaac Wood and The B Street Band (fr though he legit killed it on that first verse)

Tick-borne encephalitis if you want complicated. I definitely don’t recommend it though.

Isaac? Singer with BCNR.
