Yep, there missing two songs from the set. 'So here we are' and 'She's hearing voices' :/ They weren't broadcastet by the BBC, so no luck finding them for me.
when bloc plays live their shit is never loud enough for me...ive seen them three times and compared to their albums...live, they just dont have that massive sound...i think its their set up er some shit...because they are a wicked band i wish they would just be louder live...
lol everyone seems like that hate that stand-in basses, but i bit you would wish you were him. being to play along side BLOC PARTY, come on who would pass that up! excluding non-bloc party fans.

the most underrated band of the decade
Gordon Moakes was on temporary leave to take care of his newborn child. Daniel Lindegren, aka Tommy Sparks, filled in here.
russell absoloutley fucking nails this. so much energy in song for clay, it is intense
The intro to Song For Clay is so insane and powerful. How on earth did these guys get the indie rock curse of ppl only caring about the first album
2 of the best BP songs together-perfect
4:49 loved the moves !
Whose still watching this in 2018 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm locked in over the coronavirus mate in 2020 april still great watching this.
@@crickcrot It's now May and we still in lockdown and probably wull for the next months too lol but Bloc Party keeps me alive.
4.50min ... the guy has fun :)
great band, great performance
immense aint the word for bloc party live they are outa of this world!!!
i was there. love reading
Russel is just a legend
Best 8 minutes of my life
the whole of this set, Russell probably played the best guitar he ever has. he's unreal.
Yes, Kele is fucking amazing on vocals and lead!
electrifying!!! was at the front for that immense!!!!! only word to describe it IMMENSE!!!! BP rockkkkk
i honestly watch this twice a day minimum
ever!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
thankssssssssssssssssssssssss, please th other songs pleaseeeeeeeeeeee lol
Great Bassist!!
sick transition between songs
Ooh that transition is sick. The singers voice is a bit shaky but these are two wonderfully dark works of theirs.
thats i still remember
love the transition
correcto!
@Tropicanam One word, WOODSTOCK!.
OMG! Russels right eye!
EVERYONE is singing along to Banquet. That is powerful shit.
Kele actually has a special pedal that kicks him in the nads repeatedly for the High part in Clay
FACT!
BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE!
no words for the fantasic transition!
just saw them live tuesday and they did this same transition.. was awesome, glad i found this vid
pure class
hitting the high pitches are tough. these guys hit the pitches very well
@TheGenteingiro he wasnt sick, he was on a paternity leave. his wife had a baby around that time.
they are all just amazin!
seeing them again in bloctober XD
i like the how dances the bass player at 04:50
Wow thank you so much for putting this up Ninjarh!!!
@Rulemaker85 He's returning to Bloc Party, Kele and Russel are working on new songs. They'll be back together in September.
I am trying to be heroic
In an age of modernity
I am trying to be heroic
As all around me history sinks
So I enjoy and I devour
Flesh and wine and luxury
But in my heart I am lukewarm
Nothing ever really touches me
At the Trois Garcons, we meet at precisely 9 o clock
I order the foie gras and I eat it with complete disdain
Bubbles rise in champagne flutes, but when we kiss I feel nothing
Feasting on sleeping pills and Marlboro reds
Self-pity wont save you
Oh how our parents suffered for nothing
Live the dream like the 80's never happened
People are afraid to merge on the freeway
Disappear here
We stroll past the queue, into the magazine launch party
I am handed a pill and I swallow it with complete disdain
Kick drum pounds off beat high hats remember to look bored
We suck each other's faces and make sure we are noticed
The cocaine won't save you
East London is a vampire it sucks the joy right out of me
How we long for corruption in these golden years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I can give you life, I can take it away
A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I'm working it out, ah
Why'd you feel so underrated?
Why'd you feel so negated?
Ha-ha
Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite, not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into the light
She don't think straight
No-no-no she don't think straight
She's got such a dirty mind and it never-ever stops
And you don't taste like her and you never-ever will
And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news
And it's never enough, we will never be fooled
Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite, not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into the light
And if you feel a little left behind
We will wait for you on the other side
And if you feel a little left behind
We will wait for you on the other side
'Cause I'm on fire
'Cause you know I'm on fire when you come
'Cause you know I'm on fire
'Cause you know I'm on fire so stomp me out
'Cause I'm on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
'Cause I'm on fire
im seeing them on sunday :D
This is all I have. The rest of the set is somewhere in BBC archives, but that's a bit difficult for me to get my fingers on:P
Yep, there missing two songs from the set. 'So here we are' and 'She's hearing voices' :/ They weren't broadcastet by the BBC, so no luck finding them for me.
they did this at manchester apollo, was fucking sweet!!!
Yeah, I love that :D
indeed it seems everyone has good taste here
4:50...that dudes little dance lmao...
absolutely brilliant!!!!!!
a colombian flag jeje beautiful 5:36
also love Matt's ' LIVE THE FUCKING DREAM'
i dont know this band. but their a check in my book
i was there. my flag is the furthest one to the left of the screen on many an occasion
no man. like eating glass is thier best
my flag is the one with 'army' on it, should usually be to the far left of ur screen
4:50 dance dance!
ninjarh is #1 - # 10 of your vids the whole concert, or are there any songs missing?
anyway, great vids, bloc party is great!
5:03 you know he is thinking..."yeah you know this one" haha
@sugarybiscuits It understands.
This bassist is also wonderful though Russell is a great guitarist.
yeah i reckon after 4th album they could do it. Though i don't think Intimacy was big enough success to get them to headline slot this year
kele is a nintendo's fan !! lol XD
C'mon Kele...Bloc Party is your natural habitat...come back!!
thank you! like eatin glass is fuckin beast!
Double eargazm!
this was fucking incredible at Glastonbury
Why can't America produce musical groups as good as the UK? You don't see many crowds of this size gathering in America.
@angelolrandy thats not russell lissack right??
Theyre not from London. If anything theyre from essex or reading. cos thats where most of them met.
@TheGenteingiro he was sick, he couldn't play!
when bloc plays live their shit is never loud enough for me...ive seen them three times and compared to their albums...live, they just dont have that massive sound...i think its their set up er some shit...because they are a wicked band i wish they would just be louder live...
MOMENT: 3:47 - 3:50 COOL!
MOMENT: 4:35 - 4:48 great change
MOMENT: 4:49 - 4:52 lol
MOMENT: 8:00 - 8:09 the "two more years" intro
@LeonMB
As much as I wanna hate the guy, he's enjoying his moment in the spotlight to be fair!
i think it might be that Gordy's daughter was born around this time, so i expect he was taking some time off. that's my guess.
who is the bass player?
@Track vs Road it's not him.
4:49 Tommy Sparks is the boss
lol cats, bass player dancing 4:50
no no no, "but Obama won't save you!"
psh, in my wildest dreams.
NOBAMA 08!!
who's the new bassist/????
they changed bass player??
who's that Bass guitarist XD he's not Gordon
where the hell is gordon?!
download audacity and then you can record it while it plays.
Where the fuck was Gordon ! ??
the bassist is out... now i found that gordon is much too cool
whos the random bassist?
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!????? lol anyway thanks
manic street prechers should of headlined the main stage
Nah, it's one of their friends stepping in for Gordon while he's with his wife and baby.
is it possible to not like bloc party?
(Y)
Tommy Sparks or something
lol everyone seems like that hate that stand-in basses, but i bit you would wish you were him. being to play along side BLOC PARTY, come on who would pass that up! excluding non-bloc party fans.
i actually like the bass player, he's no gordan but a good enough replacement.
go tommy spparks :D:D (she's got me daancinggg)
wtf and gordon?
russell needs to be turned up significantly
Having a baby
his wife was havin a baby
awuevoo la bandera de méxico jaja
agree, I like the way he plays, but he can't sing as high as Gordan Moakes, that's the only letdown, he did a great job however
impossible
nope. its impossible :D
