This crowd turned what seemed to be a bad situation into the most incredible moment. Props to this crowd and Bastille for handling it with such understanding and perfection.
was front row at a bastille show last week and this was the last song they played and the audience kept singing until the whole band was off-stage and the lights went dark. it was ethereal
@@theredtechengineer1480 theres ways you can fake singing without dubbing it over, any live performance you go to will use autotune to some extent unless its some random punk band with 20 people in the crowd
Shoutout to the sound engineer! Great job to the crowd and the band, but I can only imagine the pressure the sound engineer would've been under to get the PA back.
after my mom left me my dad and my brother, i remeber this song coming on the radio when we were driving over to my grandpas (where we had to move in) and it giving me hope things were going to get better. that was 8 years ago. im forever grateful everytime this song comes on.
this video was posted 7 years ago im bearly watching it in 2022, i dont know the song but listening to the crowd keep the song going gave chills.... awesome
2:13 made me smile more then the crowd continuing the song just because all of them playing the drums and that beat, idk there was just something about that that made me smile
Maybe this one was destined to happen. The song is called Pompeii, and much like Pompeii, the performance as it was originally intended crumbled in an instant, only to be restored by those who loved the music the most
You know, if you close your eyes it *almost* feels like nothing changed at all. It almost seems like this was done intentionally because it kinda really fits the lyrics. Probably wasn't but if it was thats genius
Awwwwww the happiness I have now! Bastille crowds are always so enthusiastic and it blows me away. I visited them in Frankfurt and we were so loud it was heard.. kinda outside the building (because the building was a special type for concerts so the sound shouldn’t really be heard outside)
I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? Nothing changed at all Nothing changed at all We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settled around us And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? Nothing changed at all Nothing changed at all Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? Nothing changed at all Nothing changed at all
This almost turned out to be a Bad Situation I give Credit to the Audience for joining in Singing since the PA kept going down for them on stage such a Beautiful Moment that Everyone knew the Song and Joined in!
the biggest irony of singing out "how I'm going to be an optimist about this" while the sound system died, and he just became most optimist person on stage.
Anyone know what the hippie chick to the right of the drums actually did? She would run in and do the drum breakdown and then run back next to the drums and dance around. What a great job to have in the band lol
Since they didn't react I'd bet it was still playing in their headsets. My friend is in a local band and they've had this happen before because the house mixer doesn't know what they're doing but it keeps going in their headsets so they never know.
I remember hearing this song in circa 2013(?) and thinking "This slaps but it will never be a hit because everyone else's musical tastes are bland as hell." Boy do I feel stupid now.
Ehh I love this song and have nothing against Bastille, but this has to be one of the blandest songs from the past 10 years. Something out of the Imagine Dragons catalogue (which I enjoy, too). Still rocks, but it's Bland with a capital B.

7 years ago
would you say that the crowd knew how to be an optimist about this?
@@meg-tan well said!
@@meg-tan that was so good
shut up hannah r
As a musician and song writer, I can tell you this is secretly an artist's dream. Awesome crowd.
As someone who has big dreams of someday performing a whole set of songs I wrote in front of a huge crowd, I can agree to this.
As someone who his a micro niche local celebrity in my town - yes, this is an absolute dream.
@@GeoGamerArtistVlogger we believe in you
But make sure it's your biggest hit, so everybody knows the words.
no artist dreams of the PA failing you drip
imagine you are him thousands are singing your song in front of you
i'd be happy af
I'd probably cry ngl
When you know youve made
Thats the whole reason they do it
Best example of this I've scene: th-cam.com/video/yom17LyhBnM/w-d-xo.html

Its just like viva la vida with coldplay
@@youtubehandlesareannoying midjoy
Lucky enough to say I was part of that crowd in San Diego. My first concert and best moment ever. Dan was great, but the entire band was amazing.
This was just a few days after the concert I went to in LA
Oh what a day to go to a concert because this is legendary.
There is always that one girl whose voice is stand out the most in the crowd!
That's a problem, it means the rest of the crowd isn't trying hard enough
@@xaviermoxly8704 or that one girl screaming the life out of her body 🥴
Depends which ones closer.
The one closest to the mic?
@@wyrw the closest to the camera
Being part of the crowd in this particular moment was amazing. Magical
OMG yes. I almost got chills hearing everyone sing out despite the hiccup. Sniff.
I was there too! Probably one of the best moments of my life! "We don't need the PA"
Putting my part in your dad was amazing
How can he sing and jump up and down? While I can't even breath while jumping up and down.
Linda Nguyen me 😂
Lip sync but he has special powers. I have Been to one of his concerts and you kind of hear his breaths.
wow hi ku
greetings korra
I can't even breathe, and I'm sitting. Damn covid!
Dan Smith never fails to amaze me. He is jumping around with so much energy and his voice is still flawless.
@@forbandyson8921 people can jump and dance while singing. Broadway performers do it all the time. It is a difficult skill tho.
@@forbandyson8921 nah it’s definitely live, you very much tell
@@casual_ssb3282 interesting you can't hear him hitting the mic at the beginning. 🤔
i would not say flawless
@@theredtechengineer1480 theres ways you can fake singing without dubbing it over, any live performance you go to will use autotune to some extent unless its some random punk band with 20 people in the crowd
He seemed so happy when they joined in for him aw
Shoutout to the sound engineer! Great job to the crowd and the band, but I can only imagine the pressure the sound engineer would've been under to get the PA back.
Props to the drummer too for not stopping
Cause he didn't even know the PA cut out. The InEar monitoring was still working.
@@user0000user either way it kept the vibe yknow?
Dan's energy in every performance is astounding! I wish I could've been in the crowd, seems like an amazing atmosphere!

Ok dude…. HOW AWESOME IS THAT
Never get tired of this song.
this video was posted 7 years ago im bearly watching it in 2022, i dont know the song but listening to the crowd keep the song going gave chills.... awesome
Bearly?
really?
How do u not know Pompeii??😨
2:13 made me smile more then the crowd continuing the song just because all of them playing the drums and that beat, idk there was just something about that that made me smile
I’m not normally a fan of Bastille, but dang. This is just incredible. I love seeing this kind of thing.
So I have tears in my eyes cus this was so wonderful D:
Same here!!!
I know this comment is supposed to be heartfelt and wholesome but your profile pic made me crack up
Haha same :D
same omg
Maybe this one was destined to happen. The song is called Pompeii, and much like Pompeii, the performance as it was originally intended crumbled in an instant, only to be restored by those who loved the music the most
Magical.
I wish I could've been in this crowd :)
Seriously it's one very special moments and god it's perfect.
i don't know why this is on my recommendation but I needed this.
Because its awesome
this.
things like this give me chills.
I love it
Sometimes I love humanity so much. This is why we are worth fighting for.
Or maybe because we’re the smartest animal ever?
Keep it up. This belief may save you from the darkest of days.
You know, if you close your eyes it *almost* feels like nothing changed at all.
It almost seems like this was done intentionally because it kinda really fits the lyrics. Probably wasn't but if it was thats genius
They always do with this song as it is the one the crowd sings along the hardest to.
“How am I gonna be an optimist about this”
3:00 pa goes out
"I'm gonna be an optimist about this" line really fits
This was randomly in my recommendations and i love it
Awwwwww the happiness I have now! Bastille crowds are always so enthusiastic and it blows me away. I visited them in Frankfurt and we were so loud it was heard.. kinda outside the building (because the building was a special type for concerts so the sound shouldn’t really be heard outside)
This song must be really hard to sing because Dan is just tired
Never heard an actual DumKit Play before at a concert without amplifying
. Still darn loud....
I was there, looked for this video about 10 years later, one of my favorite concert moments I’ve ever seen
I was there too! It was truly magical
He heard them singing it and he said, "fuck it, we're doing it Acapella"
I love this song and this video was just so precious
How does this only have 300K views?! This is amazing!
This is awesome because the show goes on despite technical failures. Great song. Love the lyrics! And Bastille puts on some great live shows too :)
i was at this one C: i had such an amazing experience!
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
Nothing changed at all
Nothing changed at all
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
Nothing changed at all
Nothing changed at all
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes

You've been here before?
Nothing changed at all
Nothing changed at all
Nobody asked
Gotta love how drummer kept it going
Bastille is my all time favorite band and this was the first song of theirs I ever heard when I was 14
This is beautiful
New album. Cant wait.. Dan your fans await !
Thanks TH-cam for recommending this vid. Bastille coming to Argentina on September 7th and of course I’ll go 🫶🏼
What an epic moment for them!! Wow!
Dear Dan, if the mic doesnt work for you, it also doesn't work for the crowd xD
PA system goes out
Him: “How am I gonna be an optimist about this?”
The crowd: “We got an idea”
I wished I was there! It would have been awkward and fun!
Wow so wonderful!!!
This is what i love in music ❤️🎧
It really felt like nothing changed at all.
i am way too stoned to be watching this, i almost cried
This really is amazing
seen them on tour and hes great live
I FUCKING LOVE IT

Unrelated- I could 100% listen to a version just with vocals, drums, and a simple bass. MTV Unplugged style
been having a really shit day and this made it a little easier, thank you
someone is either getting fired or promoted
Sound tech here. I'd be shitting myself.
I wasn't there but this gave me chills like crazy
The audience are more in time than my band mates
Anyone know what the hippie chick to the right of the drums actually did? She would run in and do the drum breakdown and then run back next to the drums and dance around. What a great job to have in the band lol
Goosebumps
This made me cry
Great footage
Drummer really saved that
he probably didnt even hear the pa shut down
Since they didn't react I'd bet it was still playing in their headsets. My friend is in a local band and they've had this happen before because the house mixer doesn't know what they're doing but it keeps going in their headsets so they never know.
@@ArghIsThisHandleTaken we have had this happen at productions too (i study for cameraman so have been on some stages where that happened)

And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like the PA's never down?
this that feel good type shit
how was he able to sing that well while jumping up and down so violently!!??
Who else found this sound on the Xbox 360 NFS Rivals? Instantly fell in love with it 🔥
2:55
Haha that's pretty impressive!
on a side note what phone did you film this on?
It's not a phone lol
Seeing the title and knowing what’s going to happen gives me severe anxiety as a musician
it didn't go out, they turned that shit off, they were singing the whole song lol
yup that was beautiful
This is so cool!!!!! W crowd
Stormers are the best fans on the whole world!
At least they were optimists about it
if im the one who record this i’ll mess up the recording’s audio :” how do you scream yourself out and not mess the audio :’
Man really was an optimist about this
How does this not make you smile lmao
Somewhere backstage, someone was shitting themselves.
We once more ascent through TH-cams algorithm
They're too good that they broke speakers
Sometimes things happen for a reason
This video is only at 276,146 views right now and it would've been at about 200 if the PA didn't go out
It works. Very well. Finish the song the best u can. Then fix the issue quickly
It started chaos at: 2:55
Really cool
anyone else notice ella eyre in the background
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was there tooooo!
Idc about this band or song really but that was awesome
Which country disappearednow?
But this was amazing
I wanna be at that concert
Wholesome
