I taught Dexter in Years 7 and 8, watched his love of music blossom every year after with him popping into my room with new suggestions etc… and Fontaines were the first of them that I’d never heard and really vibed with. So to see this, is mind blowing. Dexter adores the band and absolutely smashed it on stage
Dexter has a smile that would light up Wembley stadium - what a lovely chap - the boy's from the better land - the band really try to make Dexter relax into the performance - the base player is lost in his own world oblivious the the Dexter - Moments like this really make great memories.
I kept seeing his sign on the big screen when I was in the crowd, when he came on stage I was so happy for him, must’ve been a dream come true. Massive respect to fontaines
Yeah I got one video of them playing and when I looked at it back they had his sign saying “Can I play guitar on boys in the betterland” with a cute smiley face
Amazing. Dexter is the year above my lad in school and in his own band. Maybe they could support the Fontaines?! What an amazing thing to do and such confidence for a boy so young. Fair play to the Fontaines, they really welcomed him in and looked like they were enjoying it as much as he was. A forever memory for him I’m sure. Brilliant.
Honestly I don't really mind that. They're at the point where they're getting great exposure but they aren't getting a lot of mainstream attention From what I've personally seen in the past, many rock bands are often their most raw and creative at this point in their career and it leads to music that feels way more passionate than what's usually circulating on the charts
If you skip to 2:45 you can see Carlos telling Dexter to stop playing for that little section when Grain says the "get yourself a good car, get out of here". Quite a fun little moment
he s so lucky!! i m into shred universe metla and stuff but also indie i saw them in france 2 weeks ago not really my thing but that must be great to play with bands

loved lord of the rings from you too
He was fabulous!
@@roryturner9773 but the way he managed Huddersfield Town left a lot to be desired…
I know him from school and can confirm he’s a great dude as well I can’t believe that’s him
@@279atcardiff2 it was a long time a go, different game back then
i love the way dexter was a little fast but the boys just followed him
The drummer did a phenomenal job to be fair.
0:18 Carlos asks Dexter if he can play it fast. Dexter says he can. Carlos says lets play it fast. So Dexter does.
‘If you’re a rockstar, dexter, pornstar doesn’t matter what you are ‘
Didn’t even notice that when I was there 😍
Who is dexter?
@@caprise-music6722 the guy they brought on stage
@@Squidditchyes
grian being class as always
I love that they changed the lyrics, in the first verse at 1:48 to "Rockstar, DexStar, Pornstar".... Class Act.
Didn’t even notice that! Absolutely brilliant
I'm 61 and it reduced me to tears of sheer joy.
I think I've listened to this song at least 100 times, and this is still the best version. Fuck yeah, Dexter.

Man I love Fontaines keeping rock alive in that generation. The pendulum is swinging back.
the pendulum is absolutely not swinging, but good bands that stick will continue to pop up here and there
Fontaines D.C are lovely lads, this proves it. Brilliant performance by Dexter. 😍

Dexter getting to live out every indie kids dream of playing with your favourite band. Brilliant.
That kid has no idea how amazing that was!
This makes me love them even more
Oh holy fuck. This blew my mind. A massive pair of balls out of everyone involved. Fair fucking play to Dexter 🍀🍀
Who tf is Dexter?
@@caprise-music6722 I swear you’ve commented on every single mention of his name… he’s just a kid from the crowd
Best and most original band in decades
The comments here are just an avalanche of positivity praising Dexter. GO get em' Dexter, that was your day.
This is so sweet. A moment that will rank amongst one of the best of this young man's life
Fair play to that lad jumping on stage in front of all those people, especially after getting handed a 2 grand guitar 🤩
dexters outfit is iconic
this bad will never be appreciated as much as they deserve to be. painfully good.
They are brilliant!
This is a bit pessimistic?
