So late I know.. It's a bit rough around the edges because they've playing a bunch of these sets at what I asume is some sort of festival for the music industry insiders and promoters, to present new and upcoming bands. Aswell as their backline amps weren't their own/what they were used to. I'm no expert on the bands history but this seems to have taken place before their big album came out so maybe that's why their backing track is pretty striped down still as they were still experimenting with using backingtracks while playing live. I personaly like the more striped down sound, it sounds like the band is working harder/putting more into their performance.
haha that was just because of the horrendous sound and monitor mix on stage, plus they were using borrowed amplifiers and drums. but actually your comment is still correct :) love
it's one of the songs they cycle through, their setlist currently seems to have about 3 blank spaces where they decide on the day what they play. At the show I went to last year they did Me, You, and Fallingforyou
the 1975 is my favorite band. i think they are all crazy talented but can we admit george absolutely carries them these early live performances. he's incredible
I saw them back in January 2014, their first Australian gigs, in small pub venues. Matty just casually strolls through the pub before the show talking to people and taking photos. Was so cool.
You have to love the simplistic charm and sloppiness of the performance. Being tight is very cool to see, but the sloppiness has a unique vibe to it. Matty doesnt have his flamboyant atmosphere and persona he has now. He seems nervous and evens scared. Seeing their growth in their live performances is awe inspiring.
Mental like how far they’ve come since this, I was lucky enough to sell Ross a car a couple of years back and they’re just really relatable, easily my favourite band👏🏻
did anyone else hear the comment "it may or may not be one of the best songs ever" by someone at 17:20 ish? I'm guessing he was referring to Sex, as the crowd seemed to love the hell out of it.
This type of era of The 1975 is the main reason why they've become one of my favorite bands. Now, their fanbase grew. Shit changes. I think their latest works are catered from that. I just miss their first album vibe.
Hmmmm if you miss that, I have a band called Marquee Grand that’s looking to bring that kind of sound back into existence with our next works. Check us out! www.marqueegrand.com
To be completely fair, every artist grows and evolves over time. I know a lot of artists who historically change their sound and aesthetic from album/tour to the next which just propel's the music's central narrative. I think Matty and the band have honed in on their craft for storytelling and analysis of the current social landscape. But, eh, not everyone's taste, I get that. I just think there's value in knowing it's not really just them that this happens to.
I can imagine a lot of people that were at this show getting turned off to The 1975 because how rough around the edges Mattys voice is here, it's probably a monitor issue but it affects the whole show negatively sadly
He was up 4 days straight ans on adderall and played a lot of Shows in that timeframe afaik from an Interview. Id for sure wouldnt even have a voice in such a state. So considerin the circumstances he did pretti alright (sure i know not perfect and very rough) and i guess it didnt hurt them in the long run 😉
@@ms_needle wow shit, I'm so so happy he's sober now. That's the reason I don't want this era back, even though the music was more iconic, I would never want Matty to be that miserable again.
@@julaiyyy oh no i think he was given the pills not knowin what they were by someone else. He was big into Coke and heroin later on and that was just a very hectic schedule bc their manager booked them into as many shows as possible to get them out there so i think they had to play lots of shows in a row in a very small time frame and also travelled a lot therefore not much sleep. The rest with the addictions came later i would say. But yeah im glad hes sober now too. Not easy for sure.
Tbh, I like the crowd better today! It looks kinda dead here which is understandable since noone knew about them. I miss the old concerts (I was lucky to attend the Cockpit and barfly in 2012) but I can definitely still enjoy them today! The crowd at front row has grewn up together with the band which is beautiful :D
I'd rather have caught them at a middle point where the crowds weren't too big but still knew the songs. I don't think this crowd would be fun to be in because nobody there fucking knows who they are yet.
Its weird how Matty was stiff as a board and didnt know what to do with himself when he didnt have a guitar in his hands.. and now its like he would prefer to never play guitar. Also, Stage Sound must've been horrible, because as a musician you really only feel comfortable asking the FOH to fix your monitor mix once before you start feeling like a dick... and they were having issues the whole freaking time here, you can tell they weren't feeling it. Bad stage sound blows.
yeah dude. it's impossible to put on a good show when FOH don't know what tf they're doing. even when the band asks multiple times to help them out and they still can't get their shit together
I'm also cracking up that they have two QSC153's (love QSC) on each side with no angle tilt so the crowd must have been getting awfully terrible phasing at all points of the floor LOL - and for me as a FOH engineer, I always tell my artists to signal/roast me in any way they want if they have a problem with their mix bc if they cant hear eachother in the way they want, they play worse which makes my overall mix worse for everyone
Anthony Benjamin - I was joking FFS Anthony..... it was not a serious comment. I’ve been following this band since 2013 and I actually attended both Reading and Leeds festivals. Awesome band they really are the dogs bollocks. Don’t take shit so literally man lighten up a bit.
When I was only 8 yrs old, I fell in love with The Beatles. Now that I'm 23, I feel like they did reincarnated to these amazing dudes ❤️ I discovered them when I was 16 and GAHD! The music and how it took me from different dimensions of my life. If you have time please check my The 1975 song covers ❤️ thank you it's deeply appreciated
Their first album signed me, so emotional and true. 2013 for me was "listening the 1975 while smoking with my comix on my bed, thinking about her". Now they're looking lost, their music seems so dispersive.
This is such a a great set list. You should be their encore song as it's not on any main albums (just the ep and deluxe version on the self titled) and it goes soooo hard and is one of their best songs still to date.
I saw them back in January 2014, their first Australian gigs, in small pubs. Matty just casually strolls through the pub before the show talking to people and taking photos. Was so cool.
@COSMOB3AR Lol true. But I meant back then there was more of people who were actually there for the music and appreciation of it than for the band members, as is the case now. There's just a whole lot of screaming nowadays than there was back then. I'm not saying they're not enjoying it now I'm just saying they probably appreciated these performances a lot more than they do their recent acts. Matty has even said it himself in interviews.
EthanMakesVideos no mames, i get what you're saying. Recently I saw them live with their new set, it's amazing. But the crowd was full of girls (teenagers) also some mothers. Matt had to repeatedly ask everybody to shut up so we could listen to john's solos or just the intrumental medley or the slow songs. He also asked us to stop recording with our cellphones during Me, fallingforyou and Medicine, so we could enjoy the music. Matt had to stop the show beacuse everybody was pushing in the pit, it was so frustrating. Their shows are incredible, divine and a great experience; but certainly their fan base is getting younger and worse. I don't mind, they're still making good music.
Came back to watch some old 1975 footage from SXSW…wasn’t expecting to see me in the footage throughout two rows from the front. The only one going ‘wild’. Which means ‘singing along’ haha
I guess out of all the songs SEX suited the roughness of the performance. The rest are better cleaner in my opinion. Or maybe because that was how i was introduced to them. Love their cleaness.
It's cool to see a bit of a rough-around-the-edges performance from them considering how polished their live set is now
Ethan Thomas so stripped down. sounds like there is one synth track otherwise they're playing everything. their whole cd is playing with them
+Ethan Thomas I actually prefer the rough edges to the super-polished live sound.
So late I know..

They’ve come a long way
@Blue&Green I have to disagree on that but his voice has for sure improved live after gettung clean
“It’s a work in progress, we’ll get there” and look at them now :’)
Daisy Bell he’s chirping the sound guy for not having his guitar in monitors. I think he was having problems with his vocals too.
haha that was just because of the horrendous sound and monitor mix on stage, plus they were using borrowed amplifiers and drums. but actually your comment is still correct :) love
"This song is about Sex. It is called Sex"
Matty Healy, legend
Big Daddy clearly too ignorant to miss the joke
Settle Down is simply amazing
And criminally underrated to this day
100th like and i COMPLETELY AGREE
They never play it anymore :/
The guitar solo at the end of this live version is so damn cool
100% brother
"You" is such a great tune, should make a comeback in their future sets.
it's one of the songs they cycle through, their setlist currently seems to have about 3 blank spaces where they decide on the day what they play. At the show I went to last year they did Me, You, and Fallingforyou
Daaanieeel123 you are the one of the luckiest people to see all 3 of those live
I always thought it was a great song.
You called it bro

2020 in the middle of a quarantine and this is helping me look forward to being able back to go back to concerts again. The 1975
Eric Mercado literally me right now!!
Amen, Eric. Very grate for the 1975. also grateful for TH-cam.
This concert is funny as hell to me, at this point he was absolutely wired on adderall and hadnt slept for 3 days and 11 shows lmao

@@Zacharysharkhazard a few years ago he joked about this on twitter and said it was totally true haha

These small gigs give me the chills, they feel so personal and they seem to enjoy it alot more.

watch_dominion Whereabouts did they play?
@@cable9618 Northcote Social Club, in Melbourne
I honestly enjoy them just as much as the big ones. There's a far more intimate vibe.
You can see Matty getting frustrated here yet they put on a great show. They have really come a long way. Missing these chill live gigs
You have to love the simplistic charm and sloppiness of the performance. Being tight is very cool to see, but the sloppiness has a unique vibe to it.

So unknown

I think this band are pretty good and could go far. They might even headline Reading festival in the UK one day if they play their cards right.
Ur funny
Waiting for the idiot who thinks this is a serious comment...
OMG have you not listened to them recently! They are like one of the biggest bands in the world and headline loads of festivals LOL

If you have time please check my The 1975 song covers ❤️ thank you it's deeply appreciated
Still my favorite The 1975 video. Stripped down, just great musicians, before the halo of stardom. Damn they are/were good.
this is the first place I'd visit if I ever had a time machine
12 yrs later still my fave The1975 performance its so raw.
Their first album signed me, so emotional and true.
2013 for me was "listening the 1975 while smoking with my comix on my bed, thinking about her".
Now they're looking lost, their music seems so dispersive.
The last time they played live sober for almost 10 yrs.
i really wish i was a fan when they played these tiny stages. i’m late i discovered them when they played SNL
Good Band, Hope They Make It
Jamie William fcking Reading HEADLINERS!
@@mrgunteromg amazing
I’d love it if they made it
They made it!
They do make it. :)
Good sound these guys are just going to get better😎🎵🎵
Wish I woulda seen them at SXSW! I did see them live for the first time in Austin in 2014. They have come so far!
I really love how they fought for this set despite tech issues. Made it real. Great 🎶 band
This is such a a great set list. You should be their encore song as it's not on any main albums (just the ep and deluxe version on the self titled) and it goes soooo hard and is one of their best songs still to date.
Wish I could see them in this setting again but very glad they're getting the popularity they deserve even if it's not from the most mature fanbase.
I saw them back in January 2014, their first Australian gigs, in small pubs. Matty just casually strolls through the pub before the show talking to people and taking photos. Was so cool.
Just babies here, they still sound so good
Wow they seem so awkward in comparison to their super confident show now haha. I still love this set though.
I wonder how many of the people in that tent knew how special this show was.
"Started from the bottom now we're here..." =)
I bet they enjoyed this way more than most of the shows they do now.
you right xD
@COSMOB3AR Lol true. But I meant back then there was more of people who were actually there for the music and appreciation of it than for the band members, as is the case now.

When you go to one of their concerts, you'll understand my boy
Bored of the “no screaming girls” thing. Is sexist and old. Let people be passionate about music.
crazy how they've grown in a little over a decade - excited to continue to see their talent unfold
wish they played heart out
imagine being able to see the band at THIS early stage in their career. Now they play to like 20,000+ people on the regular
bragging cuz i actually did. and am so happy i did
From this to playing a sold out msg 😭❤❤
13:24 idk why i found that so hilarious
TheCrayonStealer nope i laughed my ass off lol
I wish I could see them in this setting. Without the big lightshow, the huge crowd and the "aesthetics". Just them feeling the music.
13:23 “this song is about sex it’s called sex” he’s never changed 🤘
THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE 1975
It’s Sept 2020...why am I now just finding out about these guys? Awesome
My God Matty and Adam in particular were so innocent looking!
its nice to hear the songs in a different way :)
I would give my life for Matty to react to this in 2023
Saw them 2 months after this. Damn, it was soooo long ago!
So good not seeing some 16 yr old fan girls screaming and shouting in this set. Just some grown folks enjoying and vibing to their music.
16 year old fanboys and fangirls carry the music industry. You were one oncw
Alfie Pettifer while true to an extent, it’s the “Stan” culture that’s horrific among that certain crowd
0:00 The City
3:50 Chocolate
13:50 even the monitor is enjoying the song!
He's having a good time
the 1975 (Raw Version) im still crying
Did anyone notice the bass error on 4:40 while playing Chocolate´s intro? Glad to know it´s not only me missing a note due to the hype
a bit after 5:38 i find i the way he turns his face like wtf really funny haha, and at 7:09
George's drumming used to be so insanely complex, he's going crazy in settle down
This exceeds expectation every single time
they have grown so so much
Wow Adam’s doing backing vocals
Amazing how far theyve come... bare in mind they were working on it for about 10 years prior to this original break.
I would have killed for being there.
Proud to say been a fan from the start and watching them grow together has been an absolute joy. Here’s to you boys ✊🏼
I’m so glad this popped up on my recommend. They always make me feel good :’)
come back to Austin!
It's been way too long since I've seen you guys.
how is matt in person ??? physically
+swift mahone her?
Yeah
he's a dude. you know that right
+swift mahone please are you actually serious
Here you see the difference audio between before and after on big stages
Here I am 6 years later
Came back to watch some old 1975 footage from SXSW…wasn’t expecting to see me in the footage throughout two rows from the front. The only one going ‘wild’. Which means ‘singing along’ haha
after being at reading this makes my heart happy
Less than 3 years later they became number. 1 in the US.
Takes me back, fills my soul. Thanks. Toots
Wow they’ve grown so much. ❤️
Hubiera querido estar en ese concierto 😭
jesus christ someone fix Georges snare
I mean it sounds different but not awful
Is not his snare. It's borrowed gear.
Matt Healy is proof anyone can sing
Another GREAT video from Paste! :)
This is so pure and raw, I love it!!!😍😫
Wow Hann’s guitar 💥
Wild live version ever! I love it ❤
Petition for Hann wearing these outfits again
10 years later the biggest band on the planet.......obvious really
these boys have come a long way in 5 years.
" this is a song about sex.... it's called sex" does that mean chocolate is about chocolate?😉
If chocolate means drugs, yes
working their asses off! Love It paying their dues!
6:24 he deffo says play-doh
Haha
This gave me so much life
Old time when even in matty's every little move still looks hot! 😍
the drums sound exactly like the drums would always sound at the all ages punk club i frequented and played as a late teen.
I wish I WAS THEREEEE
I guess out of all the songs SEX suited the roughness of the performance. The rest are better cleaner in my opinion. Or maybe because that was how i was introduced to them. Love their cleaness.
miss these days argh
I love them
What a boys ❤ can't believe how much they grew
OMG the rawness. I love it
i like the way he introduce a song ahhaahha .
"This song is about sex and it is called sex " Lol
