I think the reason some of these Letterman performances sound off is because the mellow "bassiness" is lacking, and that's not the performers fault, the production crew for the video probably just preferred the treble sound. It sounded better live, probably.
The rap was the best part of this performance, which is crazy because half The Clash and Damon are also up there too. I wish they'd all gone as hard as Booty Brown did
I heard now that they can't afford it no more. I think they need go see the Japanese. Because they could help them find a cheaper way to projected it on clear screen, like Crypton, Sega did with Hatsune Miku live concerts.
I wonder if the string musicians knew what they were signing up for when they took the job? I'm not sure that this kind of music was what they had in mind, but Gorillaz wouldn't be the same without the Violins, Cellos etc.
come on, Crowd! Sing this God Damn Awesome song! here let me help you out "I need a gun to keep myself from harm. the poor people are burning on the sun. they aint got a chance, they aint got a chance. i need a gun cuz all i do is dance. cuz all i do is dance." i dont see how people like Ke$ha overshadow these guys. Gorillaz FTW
@Raicuda But VEVO are uploading videos and concerts, and they are available in HD for the most part, how on earth does that translate to "not being able to watch HD music videos and concerts, because of copyright" ?

Performance was too... mellow. This song needs to go HARD! It's like the elevator version of Dirty Harry. The crowd needs to wake up, too.
+TemporaryFamineShip The size of audience n hall prompted the easier sounds, but then i'm just guessing :)
ankush vijan
You may have a point there, actually.
you're not in the band, you are not a roadie, just appreciate the uniqueness!
it’s just a funky little anti-war song, it doesn’t have to go “hard”
TemporaryFamineShip the drummer needs some cocaine
Sweet Jesus, Booty Brown is so much better live than in studio.
***** It really came together especially on this video, it was excellent.
6yrs late to this. But I assume you haven't listened to Bizarre Ride II?
The rap was the best part of this performance, which is crazy because half The Clash and Damon are also up there too. I wish they'd all gone as hard as Booty Brown did
Did anyone notice that one of the animated kids had a Han Solo shirt?
+Sandino Gonzalez i was about to point that out until i saw your comment. lol
+Sandman 4Life yes
Yeh and there's a little noodle with red hair
1:45 I love people like him :) he loves what he's doing and it's priceless
Booty brown made this performance amazing
also the violin parts are amazing too
Love his energy, I saw the Pharcyde live it was great!
Eduardo Memije he is the best part of the song for me (and I'm not a rap fan)
God damn Booty Brown brought the house down, it was sounding off when he wasn't on, but when he came in it all fell together.
one of the kids at 1:18 looks like a red head Noodle...
i think it is, but the camera angle and light made it seem that way.
Its weird,because in the.origi.al video someone looks like kid Murdoc
The beat drop is SOOO BARE! Love it regardless but still Cmon now!
that crowd was weak! I'd be dancing and moving all kinds of crazy to that song! one of my favorite songs right there!
This live performance is awesome! It got me super hyped up!
The bassline was more simply live, still a good performance.
MY DAUGHTER AND I Can’t wait to see y’all in Austin TX THIS YEAR 2022 😎
one of the best live performance i ever seen
😳 so clean. I can hear every single hit from drum, each 🎶 of both bass and lead guitar, all of it. even for the lyric. Great performance !!
Dude it will be my dream come true to be in a gorillaz concert with few people like that!
THE DUDE IN THE BASS IS KILLING IT! 🔥
i swear i saw a orange haired noodle....

I think you predicted something
Holy crap you predicted it!!!
i love how they all have big fat smiles :D
Seriously, the best band. I love them, wished I was back in England
when will they make another live hologram concert??
:(
I hope not soon
I heard now that they can't afford it no more.
I think they need go see the Japanese. Because they could help them find a cheaper way to projected it on clear screen, like Crypton, Sega did with Hatsune Miku live concerts.

I wonder if the string musicians knew what they were signing up for when they took the job? I'm not sure that this kind of music was what they had in mind, but Gorillaz wouldn't be the same without the Violins, Cellos etc.
Booties awesome!!
thumbs up for half of the Clash playing here
There's a lot wrong with this performance but the rapping was killer

Bootie Brown fucking champ in this preformance
eargasm

The Clash + Blur= GORILLAZ!!!
This song was in the karate kid ( one with will smiths son)
Poor guy from 0:05
WOW
ES-PEC-TA-CU-LAR!!!!!!!!!!!
GORILLAZZZZZ, PARA QUE MAS?
Was this a full concert on Letterman? Was it a 2 hour special or something?
PHARCYDE ALL THE WAY!!!!
BIZZAREE RIDE II THE PHARCYDE!!!!!
It has to be said that the live music sounds so different than the edited versions...
I think Gorillaz bringed biggest set of instruments on the show I've ever seen lol
@11796 You got that right, but it's the letterman show. Noone ever dances on the letterman show.
if only there was that bad ass bass
the red haired animated girl is like noodles daughter with 2d or sumthin
Great
LIKE IS AWESOME
@11796 It's a Letterman crowd dood!
@11796 agreed, but keep in mind they are just preforming on Letterman not an actual concert.
0:51 keyboardin' like a boss
Piano guy is great!
Amazing! So gooood! :D
come on, Crowd! Sing this God Damn Awesome song! here let me help you out
"I need a gun to keep myself from harm.
the poor people are burning on the sun.
they aint got a chance, they aint got a chance.
i need a gun cuz all i do is dance. cuz all i do is dance."
i dont see how people like Ke$ha overshadow these guys. Gorillaz FTW

I probably meant 'MERIKUH at the time. Jesus, that was a long time ago.
i love the dancing kids xD
@rongdisk23 Check out the crowd when Gorillaz do Clint Eastwood on Letterman. Damon brings them on stage!
I love how the both top coments refers to how much I love...
when was this? and the drums should be louder!
Where can I find the all the performances in one convenient video?
playblack alerta
@fbskier20 agreed
Is that captain crunch on guitar?
-_- The animatics for this song have been taken down. What is going on?
I need to know how to get that wah effect on keyboard
@InvaderMarissa If you pause, they arent the middle fingers..
Best skills piano ever at 0:51 lol
@MrSandman9151 Yeah, after I said that... I went and looked them up, too. Heh.
The keyboard should be louder. It's the best part of the song to me.
It's probably because it's live, but it wasn't as heavy as the actual track, and that's mainly referring to the bass and everything.
I wish I could play the piano part😭
allahallahallahallahalah
lol i love the child's chorus. It makes me lough
1:40 He's enjoyin' hard :D
@TheFefeToo agreed.
cool.
why do they not do the hollograms anymore???
@Raicuda lmao, he tore you a part!!
Where can i find the animation of this? I just really like the animation.
Noah Nagurski search "dirty harry visuals" on youtube and click on the video that has the kids on the thumbnail
