- @TheActualDarkness Only Live video of this song in Sydney as I was the "official" videographer
Featuring their opening act Southern River Band from Perth Australia

Vids from their most recent Sydney show have been posted ua-cam.com/video/wZYPIs9hs34/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Justin letting only one person record in their phone is just brilliant. It saves the performance for archival purposes whilst still getting folks to enjoy the actual show. 10/10, best phone ban I’ve ever seen in my life
He did this in Melbourne too and as soon as everyone put their phones away the entire vibe changed and the whole crowd was finally enjoying the show in the moment, not through their phones.
jack white policy is no phones - twas my fave concert in 2022
Can't stand phones in concerts, completely spoils the moment
@@sloburnjo my phone lock was broken I could've still filmed the jack white concert in okc a couple of months ago and if I did it would show him falling forward on his guitar while he was trying to act like prince on stage I just laughed lol
Greatest fake voice of all time. It’s all falsetto pretending to be Freddie Mercury. This was the end of rock… in the 2000s… when they pumped this crap over radio to try and force everyone into thinking it was good.
@@DS-nw4eq fake voice hahahah had a pretty successful career for a fake voice. Having seen them live 5 times, there's nothing fake about it!
This literally made me tear up. How the whole crowd changed and the energy just went ballistic. This, my friends, is how a concert SHOULD be! Living in the moment! Awesome!
yeah when i go to concerts i take a few pictures of the venue and maybe one or two of the band (just to have ig) but i much prefer to just enjoy the concert :D
Justin could very well save this world from its own depression… What a frontman ❤ .
Maybe Bill and Ted was actually about The Darkness?
@@johnhills5270 hmmm - Inspire Keanu Reeves to pick up the bass again and jam with Justin… Good idea. 👍🏽
He's also got the best channel on UA-cam. Highly recommended if you haven't already checked it out.
It’s great when you have a thought …scroll down and see it’s already the top comment.
The change in energy after the crowd put down their phones and started participating..I could feel it through my phone 😮
@@MrKit19832009 Seconded. He’s so genuine and still funny af
Bruh, this is how the 90's was for me. No phones, just people jumping, dancing, headbanging, moshpitting and all sorts of shit.
Everyone's just enjoying the moment.
Mine started in 1979, Thin Lizzy then a hundred other concerts.. the golden age was before mobile phones.
I’m not even a fan of the darkness but got into Justin’s channel by mistake and that brought me here to the coolest thing that could happen at a show… props to nick who has then smashed it with a fantastic video!
You're not alone exactly how I ended up here haha
Me three 👍
Me four
I would suggest even *better* than an official vid could have achieved -as it was the 1st person crowd perspective. The real deal.
Same here lol
Venue: How many guitarists do you have?
The Darkness: Yes.
Lmao yeah what's going on with that???
All of them
@@jpak8 Its Cal Kramer on the White Les Paul as a guest
@@aydenjames738 What about the extra bassist?
@@jpak8 didn't he say that the guys from the opening act joined them for this song?
Almost 20 years later and Justin's STILL hitting those freakishly high notes...crazy!
Genuinely don’t think Justin quite realises how much regard he is held in after his huge contributions to the Taylor Hawkin’s tributes❤
A friend of mine went to one of the Wembley shows and he said Hawkins was the best one there. He doesn't even particularly like the Darkness but said his performance was sublime.
I wondered if that was him at the Taylor Hawkins tribute. Thank you!
No phones....thank god ! Amazing stuff. Proper crowd living in the moment !!
Hey Nick thanks for the "Official Video" 😁😎 You did it great! Love how you made good balance between filming band and the fans. Greetings from Europe from Poland I really like video.
Wow, see the whole vibe change...for the better! Good job Nick
its amazing how the crowds falsetto pitch improved when the phones when away
NO other band can get a crowd going like The Darkness can!!! Justin Hawkins is and will forever be one the the greatest frontmen ever!!!
Can't say that I've ever been a "fan" of The Darkness or Justin, but man, that guy is a prime entertainer... and his admonishing of the crowd and appointment of Nick as "official" photog is something every concert should do as a rule... give a leg up to some random person in the crowd, and make a move back to why we all started to go to shows in the first place: the communal sharing of a performance.
Plus, Justin's YT channel is a damn good one.
Holy shit, I L O V E that he (and finally someone) adressed this normopathic thing with the phones in a crowd.
And the crowd loved it too! :)
2:03 brought me to tears... Finally an actual crowd actually enjoying a concert!
Justin is a legend.
I love “normopathic”! Where you come across that? 😂
Totally agree
Me too
Martin from Boyslikegirls has been doing this since the 10 year tour of their debut album.
He'll do verse chorus of the great escape, stop, make sure everyone got their snappy chats and Grammy grams, then have everyone put their phones away ND restart the song.
99% compliance, but there's always that 1 asshole that films anyway.
@@MattFoleysGhost fantastical word!
I lived through the golden age… before mobile phones when at Donnington watching Iron maiden, kiss, guns and roses etc 137,000 rock fans were all jumping up together with no mobiles.. just like this.. and a hundred other concerts .. todays fans just video it and actually miss the show!!!! Wouldn’t it be great to have no phones at all at concerts .
Thanks Nick ! !
Wow! I heard about this. Found it by accident. This deserves a million views. He's such a great frontman!
Thank you nick for also get footage of the crowd dancing
We as a whole need to be more in the moment, as much as we can. Our Time is short.
That's a way a gig should be. No mobile phones just the crowd going mental and having a great time.
What a great audience! You hardly ever see a crowd go nuts like that these days.
It was only for that song. That the whole audience was like that.
apart from the twat that said "no one cares!" right before everyone wooped and proved they did care, cause they're not twats
You should look up the band Turnstile. They're entire shows are like this. More moshing tho
Alexisonfire has this all the time. Their concert was very old school mentality for sure.
@@AndyBizzzle this is true. AOF kills it live.
Cool as shit, need more of this no phone shit. When I first started going to concerts Axl Rose would jump in the crowd and take your camcorder.
The respect for Justin from the crowd is incredibly heartwarming. You could argue that if they really respected the band then they wouldn’t have had their phones out in the first place, but the fact that everyone put their phones away the second Justin asked is just beautiful. 💖 The atmosphere looks phenomenal without phone screens all over the place!
I'd much rather have felt the experience than seen it. Bravo Justin. What a mood shift after!!
Justin, this was magic. Well done. Rockers: take note. That crowd at @2:03 was insane, the way a rock concert should always be!
🤘🤘🤘
YES! That's the crowd everyone wants to be in for every concert. Worth the price of a ticket when the crowd is magic!
i was there that night , it was awesome
Thanks Nick'👌🏼
The ENERGY is palatable. And I truely do believe in A Thing Called Love.
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is amazing... A lot of people just miss the full experience by only looking at the screen
that’s how it should be👏🏻how pure and joyful that show looked without phones is just an indicator of what those little devices does to our world. removes a little bit of the that innate love for life when we live through them. put down the phones, enjoy the moment with all your senses wholly💙
So much respect to him getting most people to stop filming. Wish all artists would do this.
Absolutely love Justin Hawkins and the Darkness, and this moment in particular. So many people forget to get lost in the moment because they are too busy recording a ‘live’ moment to watch on TV after the event. Put the phones away and lose yourself, and make the memory that you can reflect on. So good to see Justin stop this and start again with everyone in the moment, and what a difference it makes…
If I record it will be from my favourite songs from said band and I will only record like 30-40 seconds max
Too right brother! Glad I got to see live shows back before cell phones man.
Yo Nick. You killed it! Great job!!! 🤘🏼
Absolutely!
This is the most wonderful thing ever! :D haha
Ahhh...like the old days.Much better.Love your work Nick.👍👍
My personal proto for filming at a concert is that I like to take two to three pictures from my seat just so I can remember where I sat and what it looked like around me and all that, and _maybe_ one ten or fifteen second video of any random portion of the show. After those two things, which takes about 30 seconds to accomplish tops, I put the phone totally away and just try to be entirely present within that moment. I want to experience the show with every fiber of my being. However, I really do appreciate having a couple snapshots and a clip or two of the show just for posterity sake. You'd be amazed at how easily you can transport yourself back to a concert just by seeing your POV from your seat, and that's really all you could ever ask for and need. Anything more than those few establishing shots is just a total waste in every way. You're never going to go back to listen to a full live song that you videoed at a concert. Never. Just get your posterity shots and enjoy the show how it's meant to be enjoyed!
The Darkness turned everybody’s lights on! Well done the band and well done Australia’s best filmmaker Nick.🤘🎸🇦🇺🥇
That's a bit of audience participation I've never seen before. Pretty damn awesome!
So, you're the chosen one... congrats !
I hug the edge of getting to experience concerts just before cell phones came out and now. The electricity of a crowd that is invested in the show is indescribeable. Miss those days.
What a fun time. SRB with the Darkness.
Omg I was at this show. Nick! The designated filmographer! Such a great idea! Put my phone away and let Nick handle it. Now I can watch here.
This was a great moment and I am so thrilled I was there - I even managed to make an appearance in this video! One of the best gigs I've ever been to and I'm off to see Southern River Band this weekend.
I was to young to see them in Auckland, but I made them some necklaces and they sent me a thank you video. They are such awesome people!
Well that's one of the sweetest things ever.
Heeeey I was there for this!!!!!
Big ups Nick, you really captured the mood and energy that night. It was awesome to be in there in that room.
Salute to you Mr Hawkins. Live life, don’t miss out because you’re too busy recording it for social media.
Isn't this the coolest thing ever!!!
This is such a good idea!! The crowd got into the song after he made you the official videographer. SUPER COOL!!!!
Yeah! He put one bloke (kid ) in charge , and put a stop to the rest of it…
(And the reality of documenting the moment still exists out there.)
complete rock and roll swagger.
awesome drumming too.
Just like in the 80’s. People really listening and enjoying themselves. Thanks Nicky!!!
LOL! MORE COWBELL!!!!!! awesome. callin into belfast sometime!
Killer! What an experience for Nick...well done to the Darkness for getting everyone in the audience to be present and in the moment! That looked and sounded epic 🤘🤘
Rock-n-Roll lives !
What a crowd, pure energy for the band delivering an even better show 👏🏼
Warms the cockles this. There is hope!
always a great time..what a performer
Great camera work from the official videographer!
Well Nick, that was amazing. Keep following that unknown band!
Brilliant…every band should make this a must do….everyone was completely agreeable
Zodiac Mindwarp, The Darkness & Steel Panther! I love them! P.S. Buckcherry too...
Justin is so smart!!! I wish he could tell the world too!!
I bet the lass screaming "no one cares" changed her mind pretty quick. He did the same thing in Brisbane but didn't have to stop it. What a moment!
So fucking awesome, love his attitude!
Real 80s cannon drum mix. This is the real treat seeing it live.
Nick, you are a scholar and a gentleman. That filming was top notch. A better man/woman/child could not have been selected. Thank you for sharing.
GOOOOOSEEEEE BUMzzzzzzzzzz everythime Nick put the lense to the crowd .... OMGggggggggg
Goose bumps!!!
That’s what music, partying, and dancing should be.
I am speechless, THAT WAS COOL
Immediately the vibe changed for the better, soon as the phones were put away. This needs to be done more 👌🏻
Nick I am subscriber #138. I am expecting big things since you are an Office videographer... I believe in a thing called luck!!!!!! Well done son.
I was there, great show 🤯 front row, balcony, centre rightish... there I am... Hi me 🙋♂️
Wow they really took the roof off, true British rockers!
Hey, you're lucky! Official video, haha. Nice one, fun to watch it! 🤘🏼
2:03 that's how you want your crowd to be, absolutely amazing vibe and energy!
Bout time. I've commented this in so many vids. Justin a real one. 💯
This video makes me happy!
You really are the main character! Wow! Epic footage you captured here!
The only lead singer ive seen crowd surfing what a show..Thebby2023
This video gave me hope for humanity.
Thanks Nick.
Glad I saw this! Awesome!
Holy shit, this is incredible and heartwarming as fuck!
Look at the crowd GO!!!! 🤘🎵🎶
Didn't get it when I first heard this song 20 years ago. Now I do. Funny how time can wise you up
Thanks Nick !
ERES UN GRANDE TIO!!! saludos desde españa Nick Rodriguez!
Thanks for capturing this Nick , your a champion , it was such a magic moment at a really magic night one of the best concerts I’ve been to with The Darkness bringing it up to the next level. Well done.
What a responsibily! Very well!
I love the way the space was explored with this cowbell. It could have used more cowbell, if I'm honest
Thanks Nick, good job.
The darkness...no phones....amazing
What an experience for Cal and the boys from Perth’s own Southern River Band too. Justin Anna the boys are very generous
Well done Nick what a result
That actually makes sense to have an official videographer who will share the recordings for free
They did the same thing in Melbourne. With pretty much the same result. Epic gig. The Darkness have really come a long way. Their Melbourne show was the best I've seen, and I've seen them several times. More power to them.
Wow, what a great performance!! The crowd is hyped!!
