I also messed with the equalizer in premier on this one to try and combat the poor audio quality, let me know if it is improved over the original upload.

Saw them at Melbourne Laneway festival, January 2018. About halfway through I hear this guy behind me say "I'm pretty sure we're watching the best band in the world right now". Hard to disagree.
Leaving a comment here so that whenever someone likes it I have to come back and watch this masterpiece.
And masterpiece it is
Why did I never think of this!!!!!
Yeah, still a masterpiece
Yeah bring your arse back and watch it again ahaha
I'm 71 (I think I'm still in my thirties, my body doesn't agree) and I'm happy to have happened on this band recently, I'm late to the game, but then it's never too late to discover something new. Glad I did.
Stay young....number only
You took the words right out of my mouth. I saw these at Glastonbury(on tv). Absolutely amazing band. They restore my confidence in this generation's ability to keep on rocking! By the way I'm 70 . Recently I have bought their last 3 albums... yes it is driving my wife nuts.
Jesus is about to remove his own at the rapture on 9th of Av(b)in our calendar, this would be last week of July in '23...if it is this yr?
25 yrs. Old forever...
Great band who were late to the game themselves. They broke out in 2011 when they were in their early thirties.
37 here and discovered them last summer. This song specifically has become my summer song. I’m also divorced and feel constant pressure on all fronts of my life. Somehow this song reminds me of all the good in my life and how I am thriving despite everything. My ex is very petty and calculating but it is absolutely true. The best revenge is no revenge. I disappeared for a summer and rose from the ashes anew and feel 27 with the wisdom of a 47 year old. Glad you and I have that same youthful energy repute our trials and tribulations, brother 👊🏽
Simply amazing and spiritual. My son says he loves it. He passed to heaven March 13, 2020, and was an accomplished and talented guitarist. I know he loves this...he just spoke to my heart. He's smiling. I miss you son.
Wow, I'm sorry about your talented Guitarist Son's passing away. He's in Rock and Roll Heaven. In the Seven Plains of the Shambhala from what I was taught through my Spiritual Journey and Enlightenment, is that The Seven Plains of the Shambhala are in all Actuality Seven Planets in another Demention where one's Soul goes to, to learn their CHOSEN Profession and hone one's Skills where their is like Minded Souls all trying to achieve a Perfection as much as possible. There's Giant 20 foot tall Crystals on each of these Planets and many of them to Create a Crystal Consciousness. Frequencies are very important in the expansion of the Universe and of Knowledge, Consciousness, And Love. I have been studying this since I was 13 years old. I know that your son is playing his Guitar in what you would call Heaven (That's Ok) Humanity has been lied to about everything, because we're living on a Prison Planet. If you check out The Farsight Institute's TH-cam videos you may find out what that means. I recommend getting yourself a Subscription for FarsightPrime.com and checking out Doctor Steven Greer's latest TH-cam video. I have been trying to send messages to people who I believe may be interested in trying to prevent the Human Race from certain Extinction! I'm not joking! Right now we're in Check and Checkmate isn't very far away!
❤
I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your son. I’m sure he’s entertaining all on the other side with his guitar skills. Peace to you and your family.
Love
A fellow music lover 🎸❤️
Love to you
My 16 year old son passed away 2 months ago....he was learning guitar....he would ask me to listen to him when he discovered a new chord or sound. From one grieving father to another....we had great sons!😢
I almost forgot to listen to this today
Say your prayers and listen this peace of work.Songs like this only come around every decade.Enjoy.Go Philadelphia.
The moment the drums kick back in after the bridge is seriously one of the most satisfying moments in music history for me. This song perectly captures the bounce back period after heartbreak.
Unreal hairs on the back of the neck
now thats a true story and fact...chills after the break .now in my brain forever
Can't agree more, well, just little, the entire track hahaha. And man! The expressions on the drummers face all the way through! He's possessed!!! Hahaha
As a drummer, I'm right there with you.
Yes!!! The adrenaline flows, my head bands, I tap my foot and leg, and let go! Just so amazing!! Seeing them live in February!!!
Drummer Charlie Hall is a BEAST! ❤
amazing how this band sounds together and the audience totally vibes with them 🤩
@@daveevans4874 Umm.. the comment was specifically about the drummer...
Charlie fought the war on drugs during this performance, and the drugs won! 😂
Charlie Hall went to the moon and back on this one, man.
The drummer is already in another dimension 🤣🤣
that drummer seems to be flying. Imagine being in that crowd right now not really knowing the WOD and they hear this song for the first time ever, live. The flow, the beat, the words, the emotions then the climax at the end that erupts along with the crowd. May music keep healing my soul and my heart. I need it more than ever right now.
Got the day off, wife and kids not home. House all by myself. Drinking ice cold coke and listening to this song. I'm so happy I got tears in my eyes
well done
Cheers mate!
@Wille You will understand one day :) COVID stopped all concerts and all social activity, so being alone and pretending to watch a live concert was priceless!
I'd kill for that feeling....
Can’t wait until the next time I get to see the live. Best band!!
I LOVE this band! Saw & heard them at Winnipeg Folk Festival in Winnipeg, Canada. What a show!!!
I'm 74 yrs old and am so fortunate to have seen War On Drugs!!!
The drummer mustered up more intensity in 13 minutes then most people have in their whole life. Take. A. Bow.
Right on. You nailed it.
Absolutely, cannot imagine how amazing it would be to play drums in this band,
You got it, he drives that tune into a jam where it sends shivers down your spine.
Locked in would be an understatement.
@@serzhman1436 On a rien compris
Pure euphoria. The War On Drugs are actually helping me stay off drugs. No joke best band of all time.
The drummer was in the vortex
Easy there with the “best band of all time” comment lol but they’re definitely a great band
I wish I could do drugs, but I’m in recovery. But this feels good sober too. I can actually hear more of the nuances being drug free. But I miss being high. Great live performance, though. Love this
@mark rowe This band has ironically been there for me as well through some difficult times in my life involving drugs/alcohol. Weird how some things work, huh?
I have taken me pills but fb wont allow me to talk about them poor little pills of mine
I just recently started getting into this amazing band. The first song I heard by them was I Don't Live Here Anymore. That led me down the rabbit hole and I'm all in now. This performance just blows me away. I didn't think they made bands like this anymore. I was so wrong and I couldn't be happier to be wrong!
I am 63 grew up with all the classic and progressive rock.I really thought my music died many years ago.I found this wonderful music so amazing
Same - just started listening to them after seeing them perform on late night a couple months ago. Been bingeing ever since!!
There are so many unbelievable bands out right now. Don't listen to the radio. You gotta dig. Put in the work and you will be rewarded.
Exactly my experience re WoD!
just bought this cd and cant stop listening to it!! amazing
Holy jesus what a ride. Goddamn do I miss live music!
Yeah, what a world we’re living in, I’m with ya brother. Stay safe m’ friend, live tunes return, well, soon!
I 've been writing and playing to loop s since march. Cant wait to get out and stretch the legs again
Mee tooo
I do too. Them and Edward Sharp
Well we're probably gonna have to get a jab of the ol corona vaccine if we wanna go to a concert in the future. I ain't gettin no jab. Shame what's become of us, bending over for the narcissist/psych parents/government/catholic cabal.
I am 70. I will very likely take this wonderful sound to my grave, not a bad idea.
Go and see them in concert once all of this Covid craziness eventually settles down!
Not at all.
respect for you sr ,,,salutes from mexico
63 here Paul.
Just discovered this band a week ago.
Don't know if they've recorded any other songs.
Been busy listening to every version of this number
live and studio 47 times.
I am 80 tears old and like real true country, Vern Gosdin, Gene Watson ,Merle Haggard .Hank Snow [ not the modern so called country,] profound love songs, Garry More, Scorpion. Heard this band on local radio, Radio Devon the other night, they are something else way above the bands that I have heard ,most are just noise, this is class.
I was feeling kinda weird at 64 liking this band, but judging by the comments I'm in pretty good company.
I’m 54, their music takes me to another place and makes me cry, in a good way ~ cheers to us “old guys” 🙌🏼
52 here.. I think it's great.. the younger generations go back to music of our younger times and beyond.. we go forward.. it shows we are connected.
it’s the music we long for. This brings me to tears...
64 myself, got a good friend into them and he’s 66....I think we’ve come from an era were we get it, good music will always crossover between generations👍
Not weird at all mate, this is as good as it gets, just think at 64 you've still got exquisite taste in music!
I'm 74 and I could watch this until the day I die.
Me too!
Also 74
I'm 70 and I'm with you. This rocks.
I'm 50 and this band is one of the reasons I don't buy any of that "music was so much better (insert decade here)" bullshit my peers so often repeat.
hopefully you're watching this for at least the next 30 years or so
If I had only five songs I could listen to the rest of my life, this would be one of them.
Make that three songs.
Thinking of a place is great too.
I'd go 2. The other one?..... That's a harder choice!
It's an amazing track
I agree ❤
Words can't really describe this can they. Simply awesome.
That look on Charlie's face at 7:20. "I don't care what you're going to do guys, I'm gonna hold this beat for eternity if you want!" This guy deserves a gold medal for this performance!
ABSOLUTELY !!!!!!!!!
I can only imagine how much musical restraint it must have taken to keep such a simple and steady rhythm going for so long. You can tell how relieving it is once he was able to let go again later by the look on his face/body language
@@salandit7461That took a lot out of him! What stamina though! They are all great musicians, Adam G in my humble opinion is a guitar virtuoso 🎸 ❤
absolutely!! I watch the video just to watch him grind his ass off on those drums!!!
look at him at the 9:08 mark & beyond!!! WOW!!
I feel this song was made to be played at Wembley in the 80's. Beautiful.
those people...they will never be the same after this performance...
Coolest drummer I’ve seen in a long time!
Hands down, Charlie is one of the best drummers on the planet!
Buy the sound man a drink 🥃 - Bravo
Hugs from Philadelphia / love & respect ✊
I admire this drummers performance, you can't get any more than someone who throws everything he can at it.
So true!!!
These guys are amazing I am a lover of music. I do custom audio on video installations and peoples homes for over 50 years. I saw them in Fort Lauderdale about 2 1/2 years ago. The video that mustard did was amazing it’s like 4K. Let me know when you guys are back down here again, you are well underappreciated throughout the world. Thank you guys so much.
we love twod in nz
savage. that song could go on for a week and i still wouldn't tire of it
Michael you’re 16 months old now only a wee baby. We listen to this song every day. We used to listen to this song in bed then as you got older I’d carry you around the room now you’re able to walk you bop as the beat kicks in. Mickey, my gift to you is The War On Drugs enjoy forever love Dad.
You ❤ lovely daddy 🎶🍀
Are you happy? You made a grown man cry today
That's lovely
❤️ from the rest of the World!
I hereby rescind my best dad ever award and present it to you.
How spiritually badass is that drummer?
@Under the Surface You aren't average if you groove like that specially if you can make a hole festival jump.
@Under the Surface He's actually really good. Looks like Adam lost the 1 when he came in during the breakdown. Charlie was able to recover when the beat kicked in again. It's not fancy drumming, but it's always in the pocket.
@Morgan Bowe bro they're using sequencers and loops and also the drums. I assume you boomer or something?
@@popodopulus3826 the only thing I don't think he's playing live is that sequenced hi-hat/shaker sound, right?
@@GrizzlePaws right. That's a sound from the album
Am I the only one who has come back to watching this entire video numerous times?
This and their other Austin city limits version. Both are magical music pieces
Nope, just discovered it 6 days ago, must've watched it 30+ times, much to the consternation of the missus!? 😆
Every Friday night for the last six months!
It`s on loop.
I keep doing it over and over and over myself. Trying to get tickets for the Chicago show in 22. I'm 60 and I'm going to take my 21-year-old son with me if the good Lord's willing in the creek don't rise. I love this shit
The Drummer is fighting his very own war on drugs
Lmfao
and lost
lmfao what the fuck he's fucking tripping
I think he lost that war on drugs and has succumbed to the trip lol
i feel bad
indiana Fire fighter here, this song has found a special place in my heart ! I always think about the crazy calls i’ve been on and the memories i’ve made so far in the service! still remember flying down the road going emergent to a cardiac arrest while listening to under the pressure when the beat drops! Nothing has topped that moment
This song does to me today what Jane's Addiction's "Three Days" did to me in the '90s. DAMN.
This has become one of my favorite tunes ever ….❤️❤️
It is a crime that I can only upvote this once!
I'm 62 and this is the first time I've heard or seen these guys. What a beautiful, soulful groove. Thanks for reminding me there's always something new and amazing to discover.
Possibly the most powerful and emotive live performance of anything, ever.
No U2 at Superbowl 2002 was the most powerful ever!!
I was there for their Glastonbury performance this year, if you haven’t already you should check this song out from there on YT, almost spiritual ❤
@@klausharpoon
Absolutely brilliant version!👌🥳❤
This band is without a doubt the greatest one out there.
And their live-level is mindblowing!
i mean live drugs is just better, but this is great, too
I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS. This song makes me feel SO UPLIFTING.I would have LOVED to been in that crowd. amazing.
‘Under the Pressure’ was the first song I discovered from WoD many moons ago and THIS live version has just blown me away!!
It’s 6am on a Saturday morning....
WHAT A START TO MY DAY!!! 🙏
That's one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen.
yes incredible
Agreed
Amen..mesmerizing...
Yes!!!
💯
I feel like I have contributed at least 1/368th of these 368k views. I watch this everyday and probably will till the day I die. Followed by Eyes to the Wind from the same gig. Everyday. Keeps ya soul good x
Watch this song done at Bonnaroo
The drummer is a human metronome
Perfect
Awesome snare sound!
No, it's the synth. Listen at 3:37 and before, while watching the drummer. Had me for awhile also.
dudes with clear Vistalite Luddys don't mess around
Saw them in aug 2022 in Toronto and holy moly this song was by far the highlight of the night.
Those 14 minutes are worth the whole ticket price.
yuppppppp
It's a perfect illustration of how it truly is all about a good song. And this band have that nailed. I'm 56 and remember the days when that was akll that mattered. Thank you War On Drugs!
Thank you sir. Same feeling and thoughts here. What do you mean by "akll" though?
@Umer Qaiser thank you, and misspelled the word "all".
@@monolithsound Gotcha. I'm 30 right now and I love how pure music was back then in the 80s/90s and early 2000s
Man, this band straight up fully performs the songs. All the synths, everything. I'm endlessly impressed by TWOD. Seriously captures so much of how i feel in music form
Total classic. Nearly 14 mins of pure groove
Now that's a drummer, play with passion not ego
Exactly!!!!!!!!!
give that drummer an olympic gold medal
The drummer live in his dream and glad for it
Not fom paris please😂😂😂
Charlie is the man. The real life Animal. He destroyed on this version.
@@Shawp-e5ywhat?
Every now and then in the 21st C, a tune sidles up amongst all the dross and averageness, taps you on the shoulder and reminds you of why you fell in love with rock music.❤️❤️💣💥
What song did that?
For sure by Future Island
yes agreed
You nailed it . This song is THAT SONG. Unreal!!!
Watched alot of bands and know alot of music - this is probably one of the most epic and passionate live performances ever! Well done guys that's an absolute masterpiece!!
Exactly! I have attended well over 100 concerts since 1968 and this is one of the best live performances I've seen. It just keeps lifting you up, It's so intense.
@@gregtullis1882 I'm jealous you have attended so many concerts and especially this one!! Whats your fave ever live performance as bet you've seen most of the best? :-)
Seen them about 3 years ago, blew me away. Live amazing, 3 gtars in synch pure magical.
I agree, a young band not just copiing old hits, gives me hope!
Love ❤️❤️ yooo
I was 72 yesterday, can't wait to get my tickets to Liverpool, awesome, absolutely awesome band, makes you forget all the sh*t that's going on all over the world.
Shame about the venue though eh mate? Shocking. I had to go to the RAH last night and my god it was sensational!!
Way too much violence: work for peace!
If you’re not at the very least tapping a foot while watching, check your pulse….you’re probably DEAD! what an amazing piece of art!
😂😂
Tightest drummer of all time. His timing is INSANE! He just doesnt miss a single beat. INSANE.
man I was thinking that the whole time.. my arms felt exhausted just watching. incredible.
He’s using sequences/loops.
@@anonymous.7585 there is only a hihat-ish sound thats in a loop. the rest is all him. Also watch other videos. The guy is insane.
I fell asleep but I’ll take your word for it!
He reminds me of "Animal", the drummerbeast on the Muppetshow :-)
I'm 6000 years old and I still love the key change in this song..
bahahaha
Do you take vegetable juice? Whey protéin?
Yes..6000 after...and 6000 before whith this music
when's it occur?
@@cl8804yeah I don’t think there is one hahah
How tight the drums are. On spot. Not a single beat missed. What a band.
Loves the Way He Kicks the Beat Back in Towards the End ! What a Killer Band !
He’s awesome but playing along to a sequencer so it’s like a click. But so much space!
@@sammcnaughton5961 lol
Drummers at this level don’t miss beats lol 😂
🥁 🔥
I like this version better than the album version, with the drums playing closer to the end.
This is what happens when a band is full of talented musicians! Amazing!
I'm 66 was at isle of wight 1970,my children keep me up to date with new music,thank God,that's brilliant
Hope you enjoyed Jimi my friend.
I'm 66 born 1958.what's my point,not a clue.This band is all that.From Philadelphia.Phiily rules.
@@ianstrathern8929 so,You saw Miles Davis and his band.Funny,He said "they don't know what they are doing".What say You,and I say that with all due respect.
first time hearing this band and its the best thing i've heard in years,
You are a lucky person :) Enjoy their albums, they are very very long lasting and get better the more you hear them. A lot to discover, especially if you are a bit audiophile.
Jealous, wish I could experience all their music again for the first time - what a ride!
same here only few years ago
yes this band is a gem
Starting my journey and what a trip 😍
After watching this video I have a new found respect for Charlie Hall’s drumming and enthusiasm. That guy is fucking awesome and he’s an amazing drummer. Timing is everything!
I’m 62 love these guys. Last summer I tried to turn a 25yo guy friend onto WOD, specifically Under Pressure. Sadly it didn’t work, he’s hopelessly into rap. He actually said he disliked this song. That hurt ✌️
This band is criminally underrated
To You maybe they are….to the rest of the planet…not even close to being “underrated”
Underrated? Because they are not as huge as coldplay for example? But they play in arena's also. They are pretty huge and can go to a store without a bodyguard or disquise and still have a normal life.
Thank god
The best ones always are.
People normally state that a band is 'underatted' when they've just discovered them haha. Certainly never underrated in any way . Their first album was a massive selling record .
I'm here for the baritone player. Just holding a Baritone for 14 minutes is a feat in itself ( heavy beasts), but the sustained playing is something else!
Absolutely superb. Been following this band since 2012 after I saw them in concert in front of less than 100 people.. go figure.
Tears in my eyes.
If only to have witnessed this in person,
This album deserved the Grammy it received, incredible body of work
I agree amazing ❤
the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've watched this performance about 100 times since I discovered it 2 weeks ago
They are at a level above phenomenal.
I'm with You! Just discovered this morning, 07/18/2020 and just wow, wow!!!!!!
Congratulations I’ll drink to that
Haha
Literally the same - I am actually a bit obsessed with....an amazing performence!
really love the drummer's energy.
I like how music unites people. You can see how the drummer's energy slowly starts flowing into the bassist, the people dancing, and eventually the whole band. You can even hear the keyboardist at 10:20 starting to do his own thing. It's really one of the only things we have that bonds us, and something that can really be started by one person; the drummer turning this into a jam session
Tight group regardless. I like bands that mesh well together
There's a passage in Ian McEwan's Saturday book that states exactly this feeling about music and bands in general
Best thing on the internet
What an incredible version of this great song!
shame this version was not added to the "live drugs" album.
Drummer is a human metronome
Isn't it amazing the power music has to make you feel something? The indescribable common thread, the raw emotions coming to the surface? Truly divine.
John introduced the drummer Charlie Hall as “Captain of the first ever vista lite space shuttle” in a live performance of the song eyes to the wind, and I will forever think of him as a captain of a spaceship
Best version of best song written in the last 10 years! Saw them live in dublin 2018.... amazing show! Please release a live album!
Desperate on seeing them in Scotland🏴! Been listening to them last Couple years. Brilliant tunes and great musicians 🕺😇
They're releasing a live album on November 20th 2020 called ' Live Drugs' .
I cant wait!
Live Drugs is out, enjoy!
This song reminds of me of my travel to Indonesia. Most beautiful place on earth
This version belongs on Live Drugs
I’ve seen this band play this song many times but this is a special performance they were so into it a true piece of magic caught in time
💯💯💯
Agreed. This is probably the best Under the pressure version out there. You can actually see the song winning over each and everyone in that crowd as it progresses. No fanfare, just pure and utter bliss.
Don't listen while driving. Speeding tickets almost a for certain.
Charlie the Drummer's expressions are always the best haha they always get me hyped
Robbie Bennett, the keyboards/synth player, really weaves the whole thing together.
Love this band. Love watching a crowd who are there for the music not an Instagram moment. Peace.
One of the best bands I have ever heard
Search for this this live performance at Glastonbury. That is how a crowd should react to this masterpiece.
That Glastonbury set in 2023 was beautiful! The crowd were loving it, really wish I was there.
This is the best live performance of this song on the internet. Thanks for uploading and then re-uploading.
This band blows my mind away!! The drummer is incredible. I grew up listening to Pink Floyd and loved them. I’m in my early seventies and this band is stunning. Thank you WOD’S❤️
Es un viaje increíble esa canción, ver como va de menos a más la hace perfecta en vivo 🎸🎷🎹
The drummer is awesome. You can see he wants to let loose, but he doesn't, he keeps it nice and controlled.
Picture a fabulous drum solo though 😅
Making an old man feel young again, kicks me right in the pastries, this is what music should do to you, if God has a stereo I bet he plays this top volume too, it’s my neighbours new tune whether they like it or not, 😊
Finally get to see these guys in October. Can't Wait.
October 2021, didn't expected to fall down to tears after listening to this version.
The last Live show I saw was in March 2020, since covid started it is the most missing thing in my life.
I wanna achieve something in my life with this drummer's level of intensity
That drummer ♥️
Animal from the Muppets in human form!
Lol!!!
OMG!! Hell yessssss! LOL!!
Right?!!!! Lol!!!
Yeah!!!
Absolutely!
