this is honestly one of the most exciting performances i have seen from any band, they are such a tight band it's unbelievable how good these guys were/still are
Amazing. The bit before the last chorus where they all seem like they're all soloing at the same time and yet remain in time and keep the pace of the song going is incredible. Has to be in the top ten best songs of the decade.
Damn. This was the year I graduated high school. I’m 28 now and I remember finding this band in 2005 on a sick day from school when I wasn’t even really sick. I would’ve killed to be 18 around that time. Going to concerts and traveling without parents restrictions and phones seems like a crazy time not far removed. I envy anyone who got to experience this moment.
The Tony Blair wonder years...before the recession... arctic monkeys and in rainbows blasting from the speakers.. god I wish I wasn't 8 years old at that time
Been there, done that. It's been more than 3 years but every time i see this video i feel the same things that i felt at that concert. Fucking fascinating. Thank flying spaghetti monster for Bloc Party!
Can you imagine if they released a new album and it was as good as Silent Alarm and they got added to the Glastonbury and Reading line ups. How mental would that performance be
I've been watching this video several times each month since it was uploaded, just because the performance is so great, and am really fascinated about the fact that more than 50% of the top-comments in the past and now relate to this gril at 1:55.
i love the way u can see how much they have grown and even on this one of thier earliest songs they throw in a bit of improv because they have learnt more and are so relaxed when playing this live :D
I love how Bloc Party has song after song which becomes my favourite! Helicopter to Banquet to Hunting For Witches to Flux to Uniform to Ares to Mercury to One More Chance to Talons to Your Visits Getting Shorter to Compliments to Song For Clay to SRXT To England To Rhododendron to Skeleton to Like Eating Glass to She's Hearing Voices to Signs to Sunday to So Here We Are to Positive Tension to The Prayer and it goes on + repeats itself! They said new material will be released by the end/summer!
That fucking shot at :51 seconds.... What I would do to be in that position, to witness the energy you are transferring to 50,000+ while standing still. Fucking incredible.
For some reason I think Gordon is the coolest of the band. He's just there looking like a regular indie guy and not getting much attention, which gives him a mysterious vibe, lol.

Matt Tong is a fucking beast.
You know you've made it when the entire 50 thousand people are screaming your lyrics louder than the band.
Avishai this always happens at Glastonbury 😎
Such a well informed crowd musically

RHCP at slane castle in 2003 is on another level imo, in its entirety, highly recommend it its on youtube in full. They are insanely in sync
do you mean tight in terms of cool, because this performance while super fun is super sloppy. Tempo was not their friend with this one.
@@iceman10129 nobody cares beside the haters
@@idrissb9742 Slane castle RHCP, to this day, is the greatest concert of all time, John Frusciante absolutely stole the show as well.
@@Snotzalotz preach
This song was meant to be live, loud, and fast!
Happens a lot with Bloc Party!
1:00 when the whole crowd knows your lyrics...amazing atmosphere
Amazing. The bit before the last chorus where they all seem like they're all soloing at the same time and yet remain in time and keep the pace of the song going is incredible. Has to be in the top ten best songs of the decade.
The technical performance is intense. They are no-look ripping solos in time. Unreal.
I can't understand people saying he can't sing, for me in this song it seems he performs it immensely
this 4:52 minutes are Bloc Party at the top of their game. As much as I still like them there's no way of topping this.
This is about a good of a performance a band can give. The crowd's reactions are insane
Still one of the best festival performances
Damn. This was the year I graduated high school. I’m 28 now and I remember finding this band in 2005 on a sick day from school when I wasn’t even really sick.

The Tony Blair wonder years...before the recession... arctic monkeys and in rainbows blasting from the speakers.. god I wish I wasn't 8 years old at that time
Those were the better memories of the great recession.
crowd singing in this one gives me goosebumps holy shit
They rocked the hell of that song ..YASSSSSS👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯👍💗
This is incredible
Best band I have ever seen live. FACT.
when the crowd sings the first few lyrics… goosebumps every time i watch this
That crowd singing is goddamn beautiful
Spectacular performance!! 🔥🔥
Best performance i've ever seen from the band
Been there, done that. It's been more than 3 years but every time i see this video i feel the same things that i felt at that concert. Fucking fascinating.
Thank flying spaghetti monster for Bloc Party!
0:52 - he is the coolest man on the planet at that exact moment
Can you imagine if they released a new album and it was as good as Silent Alarm and they got added to the Glastonbury and Reading line ups. How mental would that performance be
They're playing Glastonbury this year. 20th anniversary of their first ep
anytime you can say "sing it" and 50K people are all singing the words to your song you've reached music living legend status.
Increible, un cantante negro, un guitarrista emo, un bajista con aspecto skater & enl a bateria un chino en pijama. Me gusta :D
Jajaja xD chino en pijama buena esa xD
..::LeonBlag::.. Es Macloving ..jajajajaja
El bajista es el único con aspecto indie normal
el baterista es hideo kojima
That TEMPO 🤤

I'm so fortunate to have seen Bloc Party live though Matt and Gordon was gone. It was still damn good.
Mylon Decker why were they gone?
SeMTeX Plague They both left the band and were replaced by Justin and Louise.
Cinema Lights why did they leave?
Back here again after watching the documentary on Netflix
Name?
@@JohnMullerWWESLV This is Pop
i love the way u can see how much they have grown and even on this one of thier earliest songs they throw in a bit of improv because they have learnt more and are so relaxed when playing this live :D
First time I see an indie band with a black member! Found them on Netflix today. I'm in love with this energy ❤️
is it okay to cry?
No
@@archie3723 shut up. yes it is.

I love how Bloc Party has song after song which becomes my favourite! Helicopter to Banquet to Hunting For Witches to Flux to Uniform to Ares to Mercury to One More Chance to Talons to Your Visits Getting Shorter to Compliments to Song For Clay to SRXT To England To Rhododendron to Skeleton to Like Eating Glass to She's Hearing Voices to Signs to Sunday to So Here We Are to Positive Tension to The Prayer and it goes on + repeats itself!

For some reason I think Gordon is the coolest of the band. He's just there looking like a regular indie guy and not getting much attention, which gives him a mysterious vibe, lol.
That drummer is a beast!
