I’ve seen many live gigs, U2, The eagles….some big tunes but NOTHING comes close to the energy created when this song was played in The Barrowlands Glasgow. It still gives me chills to this day. Edit: this is the best live version I’ve seen on UA-cam. Incredible.
I’d been to their Halifax Nova Scotia show and when they played this, the drummer was on his feet smashing every cymbal he had before jumping back in. Fucking stunning, my buddy and I have been searching for a similar version since and nothing comes close. This may be the closest and it’s still far off
@@dagespenlund7999 I saw them in Horsens in Denmark on Wednesday with my eldest son. It was 800km each trip! Well worth it especially as it was with my son!
yep :-) and I am feeling it intensely 'specially when the drummer explodes at 9.42 This is the best rock music I have ever heard. Listening in Dublin Ireland. Caught this band live at London's O2 a couple of years ago. This brings it all back.
9:42 this moment right here, this ecstatically resonant wall of pure sonic dopamine overload! The Brisbane crowd of Australia got to witness this on 09-12-2023. Not a bad word could be found about what we witnessed this band deliver on the Forecourt of Sydney's Opera House. Then Brisbane happened. Adam is a maestro, beats me how the band could improve. Bravo TWOD - and you M. U. S. T. A. R. D.
I feel like all the people listening to the war on drugs rn understood something that other people didn’t understand. We’ve experienced something, my friends, that many people will never able be able to experience. TWOD, I love u ❤️
Charlie Hall is a so fantastic drummer, I think he's the real star in the band. Never seen so much emotions and such powerful drum play, he plays the drums so impressive and dynamic, that reminds of Bun.E.Carlos in his best time.
At 9.42 I could die and go to Heaven. This has got to be one of the best live acts ever. I caught them at the O2 in London this time two years ago and I don't think I have ever seen a more exciting band. I have been going to gigs for almost 40 years and have seen all the big names, but nothing compares to The War on Drugs . individually they are awesome musicians, but together they are so tight its incredible. Thanks for this. Watching it tonight is making the lockdown here in Ireland a lot more bearable.
I saw them on Lost in the Dream tour in my hometown years ago. The opened with Under the Pressure and it was the best show ever! I still remember it well. Was lucky to see them.
this is mesmerizing,i am 66 years old and have never in my life heard such wonderful noise coming thru my 4 ft tall 3 way speakers from the 70’S,awesome baby!
Nothing will ever beat that performance ever. .Really puts the crap like Swift Sheeran etc or whatever garbage the mainstream manufacturers nowadays into perspective...This is music and how it should be performed period.
You tube pulled up this song for me on one of my “mix” channels within the past week I listen to is several times a day!! Definitely hits the soul. So glad we can get back to live shows. These gentlemen are on the list to see!!!Bravo !!!!!
I'm 65 now Greg and you are so right. This was such an intense live performance. My son got me hooked on these guys and I'm glad he did. I've seen many a band over the years and these guys are a definite must on my bucket list.
The perfect song. Their hit song. 2nd half is so intense you want to jump on stage. Major complements to the sax that was a very difficult song for him. Intense 4 minutes. The entire group are genius. Hall of fame easily for TWOD.
One of the best songs of all times...when i first heard it, i felt that i had to stand up and dance, and as the song evolved my feelings exploded...at the end i cried...but in a good way...stunning song ..
Friday night, late, Dublin. Ireland. Storm Betty is raging outside. Summer? Bahhhh what a washout, but I am watching this and reminiscing about two great gigs I saw this year, The War on Drugs at the Spandau Zitadel in Berlin in June then three weeks later in my hometown at Trinity College on a night when it actually didn't rain. This is a very special group of musicians. The feeling of love I have for them is totally surprising to me. I have been playing music on my radio programs for decades now and I have probably seen most of the big name bands in concert, but none has ever touched me so deeply as this band. They are quite simply the best thing that has happened to music in recent years. Anyone else watching this tonight? Friday 18th August 2023. Anyone else actually brought to tears by their sublime sound?
I'm watching it tonight 28th of october 2023....like I've done so many times before. Can't even begin to describe what this song does to me. Blows my mind each and every time!❤
These guys know full well that the bridge is the best part of this song and I love that they milk it for all it’s worth. When the drums kick back in, perfection.
I always have to restrain myself from instantly repeating when Charlie kicks back in, just because its so damn satisfying. But I cant break the magic of the performance. So I just repeat the song when its over. Haha. Problem solved.
@@perfectly_flawed_v2.0 Under The Pressure has been with me all day including listening to it six times since early yesterday morning (it is now 1:39 am here in Fairbanks, Alaska). Adam's guitar is the epic wailing of an angel. TWOD cook and they soar: this is transcendence.
This came on a curated station and I had to stop what I was doing. Listened to the track like 100 times. Then went to see if they passed the “Live” test and came across this. Now I feel like an asshole because they played my favorite venue in St Augustine, FL a few months back and I missed it. Won’t make that mistake again.
Transcendent. The song transports your soul to the 5D universal awareness! It reps universal collective consciousness. Go Charlie! In-the-pocket the entire time. ✊🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺🕊️🤍😭🥹😌😎🤩
In an age when the average song is three minutes (some song sharing sites & radio stations now refuse to go too far past that for song lengths) These guys do a 15 minute masterpiece !
I was fortunate enough to see them summer 2023 in the middle of the USA. They had over an hour delay (for tech reasons) and they DELIVERED!!! See them when you can!
I swear this is a spiritual experience. My god that drum and bass drop at 9:42 elevates my soul and the following chord progression takes me to a higher state of being. Pure bliss.
Wow.. What can you say? There are other versions on UA-cam, live, but this takes it to next level. I too was blown away @ 02... and this track was the highlight. Worth the admission alone. Adam goes into some kind of trance towards the end... the band just hang in there... You can see he is thinking of some kind of The Who guitar damage at the end! But holds off... He's seen serious mileage with that axe... World class - the long build up to the break @ 9.40 and then Adam goes to town... Wonderful stuff.
He's too exhausted, depleted even at the end to smash his guitar (which is no way to treat it anyway!). I love the passion Charlie plays with. And Adam's solos are transcendent. Truly astonishing.
So few songs that will completely silence you and give you goosebumps. But I don’t there is ANY other song that does so every single time I hear it. A literal masterpiece
MUSTARD...Major thanks for all the prime uploads of TWOD at their best! Phenomenal players. Adam-well, what can you say- Genius expressed with frets and lived lyrics.
I was there at their show in Berlin on that same tour! Impossible to describe the built-up emotions for such a performance! I never had such a feeling before, and probably will never have!
There is no feeling in the world, that compares to listening to 09:42 while shifting up your bike, as it roars past 9000rpm and that last gear clutches in. I swear to God, I get THE heaviest chills.

Thanks 👍 🥁
Cheers 🍺
Well,once there was Pink Floyd,and i loved them,now we got W.O.D. and i love them even more!
Hands down one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen.....take a bloody bow.....that drummer has more rythm than a fucking rolex
I’ve seen many live gigs, U2, The eagles….some big tunes but NOTHING comes close to the energy created when this song was played in The Barrowlands Glasgow. It still gives me chills to this day.
Edit: this is the best live version I’ve seen on UA-cam. Incredible.
I second that.
Absolutely insane version🙏
And best of all.....I got ticket to see these guys in Tromsø this summer🤩
I’d been to their Halifax Nova Scotia show and when they played this, the drummer was on his feet smashing every cymbal he had before jumping back in. Fucking stunning, my buddy and I have been searching for a similar version since and nothing comes close. This may be the closest and it’s still far off
@@YoungMips069 Where did they play? I wish I heard about it. 😢
@kylegmckinnon was during Halifax jazz festival in July 2018 I think. Alvvays opened for them, unbelievable show
I'm convinced that people who value this type of music are genuinely good people
I try to be and I truly hope you're statement is correct for many fellow and friends 🙏❤️
Thank you,i appreciate that.i feel addressed.
Roger that!
Yea I like to think I'm good
As long as we try - then we can't be all bad
Can't count how many versions of this song I've listened to on youtube.
But I always keep coming back to this one....💙
They played both Eric Clapton's and Joe Walsh's benefits this year. Hometown heroes for me.
@@jackmalvern2394
I'm watching them in Tromsø Norway in one month😍
@@dagespenlund7999 I saw them in Horsens in Denmark on Wednesday with my eldest son. It was 800km each trip! Well worth it especially as it was with my son!
You are not alone,what a performance.All the the pieces are falling in the right place.Magic.
Charlie Hall on drums always looks like a f**king pyscho! 15 minutes of absolute magic
Reminds me of they guy on the Muppets 😂 animal
This ain't a song, this is an experience!
yep :-) and I am feeling it intensely 'specially when the drummer explodes at 9.42 This is the best rock music I have ever heard. Listening in Dublin Ireland. Caught this band live at London's O2 a couple of years ago. This brings it all back.
Moves the the music spirits in my soul.
Great call XQ!
I can’t stop playing this!!!
@@scottg2203 my man… I’m always appreciative of some new nuisance I find in the song!!! 💪🏼🙏🏻😎🤙🏽
As close as we'll ever come to spiritual enlightenment just by listening to music....
Took my son to see these guys. When they came on stage he said, "My heart is beating out of my chest!". Me too, son. Me too.
You're a good dad....!
9:42 this moment right here, this ecstatically resonant wall of pure sonic dopamine overload!
The Brisbane crowd of Australia got to witness this on 09-12-2023.

Then Brisbane happened.
Adam is a maestro, beats me how the band could improve.
Bravo TWOD - and you M. U. S. T. A. R. D.
Brisbane was life changing
Well stated ,Sir!!
I feel like all the people listening to the war on drugs rn understood something that other people didn’t understand. We’ve experienced something, my friends, that many people will never able be able to experience. TWOD, I love u ❤️
Cool Man,love from Ireland
The drummer is the real hero here.
Way his drum kit is micd brings so much energy to the the song
Charlie Hall is a so fantastic drummer, I think he's the real star in the band. Never seen so much emotions and such powerful drum play, he plays the drums so impressive and dynamic, that reminds of Bun.E.Carlos in his best time.
Its him and the bass player who carry the band. Reminds me of Fleetwood Mac.
The build up is EPIC!
Insane
if I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, I think it would be this one....Epic guitar work!!!
At 9.42 I could die and go to Heaven. This has got to be one of the best live acts ever.

^^^ All of this
All of this is correct. Beats Pink Floys and everything I've EVER seen. Lemme know if you have something to compare. Cheers
Actually this gig was the best I've ever been to. Truly amazing band
And the rain made it even better
I saw them on Lost in the Dream tour in my hometown years ago. The opened with Under the Pressure and it was the best show ever! I still remember it well. Was lucky to see them.
I was there amazing gig
Adam plays above his usual level and the others say ok and go with him … best live rock performance I’ve seen since the 1970s.
Doctor: You have 15 minutes to live. What are you going to do?
Me:
I always come back here...The best track ever to listen too when you know you will be in a better place in 15 mins no matter what.
this is mesmerizing,i am 66 years old and have never in my life heard such wonderful noise coming thru my 4 ft tall 3 way speakers from the 70’S,awesome baby!
Me too … at 71!
❤me too at 71 😁loving fabulous music 🎶
64. Their music and especially this song is the best shit I've heard in ages. Long live The War on Drugs...
Nothing will ever beat that performance ever. .Really puts the crap like Swift Sheeran etc or whatever garbage the mainstream manufacturers nowadays into perspective...This is music and how it should be performed period.
Poser ❤
Charlie Halll is a BEAST! I love them all though! ❤
I am glad I’m alive at the same time as The War on Drugs.
We should aspire to have Charlie Hall’s drum posture.
Just watched their Glastonbury performance on live TV. They ended on this. Wow flipping wow
just spent the best 15 min of my life
This has got to be one of the most intense live performances ever.

The best band in my life
Ĺife is more liveable when Charlie Hall tears it open at 9mins 44 sec.
Mighty powerful.
Let it rip!
My favorite drummer❤
9:41 The quality of those drums after the bridge, Charlie Hall is a legend
The only thing better than his drumming is his facial hair.
This is epic. Brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it. What a band
I've heard this song a thousand times but dear lord this performance sends it off toward a new trajectory!
My go to song when it all get's to much, keep going !
So pure,
This weekend I'm gonna put the soundlevel on to the max while playing this. The hell with the neigbours.
This is a very special version - love it
The perfect song. Their hit song. 2nd half is so intense you want to jump on stage. Major complements to the sax that was a very difficult song for him. Intense 4 minutes. The entire group are genius. Hall of fame easily for TWOD.

my most played song from 2019, it could almost go with any environment, mood and weather that i was in
They are the only band who makes me cry too. Exciting feeling at its highest
that happened to me too
Same here, me pasó igual!!!
First time seeing this performance, and I literally had to fight back tears lol. Not sure why music does that to me sometimes
TWOD good music is forever!!!!
Hall beating those drums like they owe him money! Awesome gig by the band, I wish i could have been there!
The baritone sax groove is hypnotic - amazing stamina from all the musicians though! This performance is Olympic gold medal class.
Fantastic. The whole band has something magic. The drummer is out of this world.
This intro touches the soul. The entire song touches the soul.
So damn good!❤
Jawdroppingly fantastic!
far best version
Can’t wait to see them in Minnesota in 2022!!!!

I’m a Straits fan but these guys are the new magicians! Love it. Live they are so solid, like the Straits were too. My fav bands these days.
In an age when the average song is three minutes (some song sharing sites & radio stations now refuse to go too far past that for song lengths) These guys do a 15 minute masterpiece !

Unbelievable performance of this track,incomparable...This live version should be a subject in school for kids all over the world.
You get it.
Yeah, you get it..
Stunning audio and visual effects. Jesus, this is a rock anthem! One could make the argument that it's prog rock.
This song and band are simply magnificent.
Damn! Probably my favorite Under the Pressure version on YT. Brilliant. Thanks MUSTARD.
Mine too x
No other version comes close.
It's mindblowing🎉😍
Music played on a different level...
Easily my favourite band by a mile in the entire world at the moment.
Thank U War on Drugs💙
Best band to emerge in quite away for sure.
Never gets old
i love them so much! music with soul......
Every version of this song by this band is transcendent...thank you.
GREATEST BAND ON EARTH
Even a house music / progressive trance fan falls for music like this. What a performance!! I get goosebumps every time I watch this. X🙌🏼🎸🤘🏽
This is the best song of the 2010s
One of the best songs ever ❤️
This is a pure melt down towards to deep emotions. Absolutely beautiful and perfection. Thank you so much. Epic. ❤
Amazing band and amazing musicians especially the drummer!!!!
Best live version
Amen.
Couldn't agree more with, and maybe also best recorded, at least here on youtube
Agreed. Even better than the one on the live drugs album

There is no feeling in the world, that compares to listening to 09:42 while shifting up your bike, as it roars past 9000rpm and that last gear clutches in. I swear to God, I get THE heaviest chills.
Amen to that brother!
Chills, every time.
That was some sick jamming

This is absolutely incredible
This gave me the chills! LOVE IT!

EVER !!!!
my 'go to' Friday night getting buzzed after the kids have gone to bed song. Superb
Damn, I almost forgot to listen to this today.

good god almighty. it doesn't get any better than this. If your feet aren't moving to this, you better check to see they're not nailed to the floor.
