This is before Russell started using his ever-so-famous butterscotch 56' vintage telecaster. The one he is playing in this video is a white standard telecaster.
No, I agree with this guy. I mean, in "The Marshals are Dead", "Skeleton" and a few other of the old Bloc Party songs, (studio verisons) you hear alot more energy in the melody and the singing. They still have it in some of the new songs, but some of them needs a little energy kick... just a little.
I don't mean live! They're still an amazing live band and their music is still great. I mean in terms of their actual music, it used to be so much more lively.
gordon has i really good voice
wish they had more songs with him singing
Nothing can beat Silent Alarm. If anybody ever tries to tell again me that Room On Fire is the best album ever then I shall hit them.
2:12 - 2:19 If Gordon looked at me like that I would faint

I miss this lineup, was lucky to see them live. They’re great
I miss when Bloc Party still had a rhythm section
Watching this in 2018, wondering WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED
They got older and comfortable
When you’re younger u have a natural energy and it fades with time and comfort
That chorus line is amazing, courtesy of Gordon. =)
Kele on lead guitar! Nice interesting switch up :)
How is it possible that Gordy looks 20 years younger?! I wish they still played venues this size...*sigh*
gordon singing that's cool
gets me in the feels, it's been ages since this happened
Love their old raw performances
I was at a concert they did at the Black Cat club in Washington D.C.... it was pure magic
