I was at one of their shows and yeah the performance aspect was incredible. So many creative cool things (and a practical joke that completely got me that I won’t spoil if you don’t want to know) and the finale had me almost crying
It reminds me of how Bruce Springsteen, when playing in arenas that have seats behind the band, will turn the band around at one point in the show and play to them directly, making them instantly the best seats in the house for a song or two

This is what I like to see. You're not just listening to a song like you can do at home, you're watching a show!
I was at one of their shows and yeah the performance aspect was incredible. So many creative cool things (and a practical joke that completely got me that I won’t spoil if you don’t want to know) and the finale had me almost crying
That violin riff is insane
Right here. 5:06
That would be violin goddess, Ginny Luke. She just nails her solo everytime.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Of all the shows I have seen at Climate Pledge Arena AJR is the first to play in the nose bleeds!
It reminds me of how Bruce Springsteen, when playing in arenas that have seats behind the band, will turn the band around at one point in the show and play to them directly, making them instantly the best seats in the house for a song or two
They also did at Moda Center in Portland, OR.
Not 46 seconds but Im still touched, what a show, much love
I think he has to be there before they introduce the band
I love when artists do stuff like that in shows, they truly care about their music and their fans
Being in the crowd for this moment was absolutely insane, so glad someone got a video of it!
I just went to the one in Boston yesterday. It was absolutely amazing. I cried. So good
The repetitive “What the hell you gonna” is so addicting
holy hell, that violan solo was sooooooo damn good
I was there. FANTASTIC SHOW
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG AND AJR IS MY FAVOURITE BAND
The way he let the kid sit down just made my day. I love AJR
THIS WAS MY SHOW! I WAS THERE!!!!!!
Nice angles, I went to an AJR concert, and I didn't get this good of angles. I still had a blast!
That was phenomenal
Best show I’ve been to in years 🙌🏼such talent-thanx for posting 💕
Fuck yeah he is.
idk why but this made me so emotional
Still not sure about who is going to London, can someone elaborate?
pretty sure his name's John
i think it might be Sieve
I think it’s Tom
Steve
ITS CALLED STEVES GOING TO LONDON
Can I find a version of the song without all the crowd and stuff, but with the “what the hell ya gonna do” line repeated like it is ?
I think the point is that this is *the* version *for* crowds - best you could probably do is loop it yourself in Audacity
I would pretty much faint on the spot if literally any member of AJR got off stage and started sitting my me lol
I'd pay extra and triple that for that to happen to me! I'd even rehearse the song perfectly so I could sing it along with Jack!
i was there! did anyone else think the guy at the bottom with the light up jacket was irritating ???
fun
Steve's going to London
Shaun's stuck in a suit
Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn
Like every other afternoon
Steve's going to London
Dan peed in the pool
Tom fell for his best friend's mom
But what the hell you gonna do?
Hey-hey, look around, look around
Wouldn't it be nice for someone to miss ya?
Hey-hey, funny how all the things
That you used to like, now they depress ya
Well, you try to find some meaning in your life before you're gone (ooh)
There's a song that don't mean anything at all (ooh)
And it sounds like
Steve's going to London
Shaun's stuck in a suit
Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn
Like every other afternoon
Steve's going to London (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Dan peed in the pool (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Tom fell for his best friend's mom
But what the hell you gonna
What the hell you gonna do?
Hey-hey, look around, look around
Wouldn't it be nice to see me on TV?
I'd dress to the nines with a smile
And you'd probably think that that was the real me
While you try to find some meaning in your life before you die (ooh)
Here's a bunch of random shit to waste your time (ooh)

You, you'll make this rather snappy, won't you?
Ah-ah-ah (hey)
Ah-ah-ah
I try hard to write a cool song
So I start with something simple like trying to put my shoes on
Now something kinda clicked 'cause you relate a bit
But no one's gonna care about a shoe song
I try hard to write a cool song
But I gotta make it matter, so maybe I'll throw the news on
Could I relate the shoes to 2022
Or maybe an election down in Tucson?
I try throwing something cool on
So I'm listening to Kendrick and playing the swimming pool song
But why did I do that? 'Cause now I hate my track
I'm quite aware I'll never write a cool song
But who really needs a cool song?
There's so many better melodies, why do you need a new one?

Where u can find this song fully?
What? The live version or the actual version? Cause the actual version is literally called “Steve’s Going to London”.
Was the ending credits song muted cuz copyright? And also the concert was so amazing!
I cut the audio out just in case it was.
@@devincreislerstudios ok just making sure. Thank you
