and I thought I was the only one obsessed with that concert lmao
there's many of us, i love playing nick's part during the whole concert
LOL SO RELATABLE
me too
I remember seeing that when it aired for the first time. It was badass.
Me too!
This show really needs to be released on vinyl and CD. Why does this band not have an official live album? This is it!
It would sound exactly the same as the original record😂
I dont know, is this it?
@@giggityguns123😂😂
They almost did around the time of Room on Fire, but the sound quality made the band decide against releasing it.
feels like julian casablancas hosting a podacst video about his 2$ concert
So you basically did a video essay on a music, fashion, cinematography, film, direction, choreography, history, etc. and tied it all together in an entertaining cohesive package that resembles the very rock band your talking about. Excellent work! 👏
The rumour was they hired some models for the front row
It’s been 3 years and i can never stop playing that concert dude…
The 2 dollar bill performance is so good because it was on MTV when they actually played music on it all the time, they gave us access to a full rock and roll concert and the strokes were brand new at the time and the lofi New York vibe was badass for 2001-2002
I remember watching this gig and it made me an even bigger fan of The Strokes. As a brit and the death of Britpop we were waiting on something happening that wasnt fully taken over by the industry. Us brits seem to take these cool American bands to our hearts before America does. Kings Of Leon are another example of this as they had 6 consecutivenumber 1 albums over here. The Strokes came to Britain and absolutely conquered it and birthed bands such as Arctic Monkeys and changed The Libertines sound after they heard The Modern Age e.p. The Strokes $ 2 Dollar bill gig is just one of these you had to be 5here moments in Rock N Roll. And as a live act they capture what they put on record. Not many bands sound this good live.
The Strokes took Kings of Leon to open for them on some spots on their first ever tours. The bassist of KoL stated his bass style is derived from Nikolai, being a big inspiration in his beginnings.
closing the video with human sadness demo. perfect💋
Yes!!!!! That outro (I mean the whole song) is a masterpiece😢
As I once saw in some comment section: The thinnest legs in the music industry lmao
i saw that comment to, its so funny haha
The Horrors
youve got such a great presenter’s voice its so nice to listen to
We need more of this dude!
young smart artistic rich boys... they nailed it, revived R&R and in the mean time made one of the best albums in history
AMAZING video with fantastic editing. Our favourite live performance of all time. Well done 👏
Firstly, great video! Can I call it a mini documentary? Secondly, I don't think many people realize how important The Strokes were in the early 2000s. In fact, they reshaped the rock scene because, as we all know, at that stage, it didn't have much going on. They still produce great music, and to me, the fact that they never let fame get to them makes them even cooler. They're still a tight band, making good records, continuing to inspire and gain new fans. I'm 39 now, and I still want to be part of The Strokes like I did when I was 17, lol.
Amazing edit was surprised to see you didn't have a million subscribers already
The first time I saw The Strokes, they played pretty much every song they had, which was the first record. I saw them the following year when they put out their second record, and the songs were so short that they played almost every song for both records, minus maybe 3 songs total.
this is a fantastically accurate and well written video
This video is extremely well-done.
Thanks for this! The live editing….faaaaak
Dude this is such a good video, you should get a million views
This video is incredible, thank you
Just started playing guitar and I love the strokes so much,
Loved the video
awesome video, I thought I was the only one obsessed with this concert… I wish I was there to see it live
I HAVE SAID THIS FOR YEARS FOR ALL THE SAME REASONS. TUBULAR. NOW I CAN SEND THIS TO PEOPLE AND BE ANNOYING ABOUT HOW RIGHT I AM NOW THAT I HAVE THIS TO BACK ME UP. THAAAANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. This concert was and is my reference point for everytime i live a moment in life and say 'that was rock and roll'.
GREAT VIDEO !!! LOVED THE ENDING AND THE LITTLE FABRIZIO HASNT EATEN IN THREE HOURS REFERENCE FROM THE STROKES IN TRANSIT VIDEO
I was waiting for someone to make this video. Been in love with this concert since the first time i saw it on youtube a couple years ago. also great vid love your editing style and voiceover narration.
One of the best videos around. Congrats mate 🙏🏻 thank you
i love this video essay so much, its almost as iconic as the $2 bill. love it
love your videos man, so much quality
this vid is killer- its made me actually watch the 2 dollar bill show through
My first tattoo at 18 (I was born '96) was the strokes magna logo because I watched this one day and it changed my life forever. I'm 28 now and on any bad day, I can watch the 2 dollar bill concert and it will immediately hype me up and heal me. From being given rock album of the year in 2023, they will be eligible for rock n roll hall of fame in 2026. If it happens I will loose my shit and probably get another strokes tattoo a decade later. Easily thee best rock band of my generation, and I don't wanna hear any lip about it.
also I love how you broke down the strokes fandom in the end 💀
Wow thank you for creating this 👏
You gotta make more videos like this, this is amazing.
Dude this video is awesome! I love the put togetherness of it and your fun voice! I love this band and this concert so so much so it was great to learn a bunch :D
Excellent video my man, been obsessed with this show for years, really awesome to see a closer look you got my sub with this one
I looked forward to watching all the $2 Dollar Bill concerts when they aired, back when MTV actually aired music.
as a strokes fan, thank you for your hard work! loved it
This is such a good concert. Good video, man
just stumbled across a gem of a video
Fantastic video !
Really excellent.
Dude! Great video. What a concert.
man, you sound like you could be one of the strokes. great video, fucking love them!
Something tells me that this guy is a Strokes fan.
Awesome video 💎💯
the video quality is so good man
VERY WELL DONE... I watch $2 bill concert probably once a year
So, is that possibly the best of all the time? Surely it's the best of them, because I've never saw any other so good. Their live presentations aren't so good on average. But that one was so good that some parts became video clips.
The way you speak and the tone of your voice gives me such “early 2000’s alternative radio station host” like the ones you see in movies or stuff but it’s really endearing and adds so much to this entire video. I can listen to you talk about The Strokes, about music all day long
Great video! Loved it! It’s nice to hear someone pronounce “Hedi Slimane” right for once
Great video dude🔥
Damn man, you did outstanding on this vid 👏🏻👏🏻
Great video! Thank you
this was a great great video, thank u, greetings from mexico
finally someone said it. i watch the whole thing almost every time i get drunk
Love the analysis, it makes perfect sense
The final thoughts was epic.
what song is playing during that part?
This video spoke what was on my mind. Thanks
please make more of these
This video rules… you nailed it. This show totally inspires my music, but it also inspired like every single band after it…. The strokes came, saw, conquered, and ruined it for everybody else!
hey i loved this video essay! i love the strokes a lot, and i often find myself rewatching this performance. great video man!
also whats the song in the end? i know its human sadness (a version of it) by the voidz but it's more chill so it sounds cool
I loved everything about this video
great job!!!
I have been saying this since I was in 8th grade back in 09. Good to finally have it confirmed 😩
Breathtaking concert, claps for the really good research tho, didnt know any of the Roman Coppola direction on that live
I gotta say the mars volta during the 2003- 2004 was the best physical performace. Like their stage presence and the energy now that is a full body workout
the set was similar to Elvis 68
Mate this is so good! Have you seen the Oxygen festival live version of Hard To Explain? Another incredibly shot Strokes live video, would highly recommend!
i cant belive you analized the clothes, this become my favorite video on the internet
I'm so happy I watched your video =)
Thank you so much for doing this! Great video. Greetings from Argentina.
THIS GUY GETS IT
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on their subsequent albums.
excellent video))). Stud.
you sound like you could be the "what does he do for the band exactlly?" member of the band...
thank you
I’d say Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire at Monterrey in ‘67 and melting everyone’s brains and changing music forever is my pick.
i hope for humanity's sake that they mean its the greatest STROKES performance. They're great and have a handful of truly great songs, but they aren't even on the radar when it comes to legendary live shows.
3:50 You did NOT just cut hard to explain before the chorus 😨😱😭😭 the audacity
The greatest performance of all time has to be Jimi Hendrix at The Monterrey Pop Festival 1967.
No cause the Strokes had ripped jeans
The concert after the nirvana one in the intro sounds and looks really cool, what's the name of the band?
Also, really cool video! This concert really feels like it's perfect
It really does look like they were trying too hard and not trying at all at the same time
As soon as i started to think about it, you instantly and clearly conveyed that idea!
It was like you read my mind
One of the best performances think it really captures their sound and stage presence very well, and having people around them was great different of course, the nod to Elvis too and their clothing style Nick looks too fuckin cool truly one of the best early 00s bands
Good Job. How did you aquire this information? Also, where are you from?
best video ever
Phenomenal.
dude well put
oh my god, this video is so cool, and you talking about my favourite band, good job👍
i had never noticed the reference to Elvis. i love you
This is a pretty awesome concert
to me it's always been, it's a piece of art and history
O always wanted to dance in a stage like this!
I like the cut of your jib young man....
Cynical 90s Brit commentary brilliant
dude, awesome vid. narration cool, very. luv the strokes ...
I need to watch this on a smart TV, to watch it on my phone doesnt do it justice
Saw them many times but the best being the first tour, as you’re right, that’s when they were the tightest. Julian on a stool at radio city when jack came out to play the solo on nyc cops!!!!!
best video on the youtube
yup i instantly liked and subscribed
Muse at Wembly was fucking great though, you gotta admit.
So sick, that version of Hysteria kills me
Haarp superb
But the Strokes🤌
It was really good.
correct
98.12.28 still stands as my favorite, but you drive a hard bargain
