[4K] Sleep Token - Bloodsport (Live at Wembley)

[@1cendres]

These guys are pictures that I've never been able to pull from my mind and pencil to paper. They are the perfect lines of descriptive imagery of similies and metaphors when I search in vain for words to say. They are feeling that I can't explain when I hear a certain falsetto note sung, or the perfect guitar run played. They fill the gasp I take as I sit in amazement with meaning. Most importantly, to me, they are not only the evolution, but the embodiment of every genre of music I love, and I have NO CHOICE BUT TO FEEL EVERY BIT OF WHAT THEY HAVE GIVEN THIS WORLD. I am honored everytime I hear one of their songs or discover a new video of them. What a time to be alive, and to be alive to witness this art form perfected and performed at the highest of levels!

[@Kynetic02]

This is easily one of the most beautiful paragraphs I’ve ever read…

[@BigManRandom]

❤❤❤❤u put the words in that message perfectly friend I have never been able to articulate how I feel about sleep token and how much I love seeing all these videos ppl post and even the show I was at in may Asheville nc I cried the entire show and hour after I need a do over lol but took the words out of my mouth

[@phil3kx]

Beautifully said

[@Jeroen4]

How pretentious can a person sound ffs😂

[@ZackGriser]

If Vessel cries, anyone can cry and not feel ashamed of it

[@callif.9679]

Him gasping for air through his tears hurts me everytime

[@LoftyAssertions]

The masks go SO far for freeing the artist to just fully and entirely express like this, it must feel amazing to just open up yourself like that

[@NIGHTMARE_KRATOS]

Facts

[@VesselXVII]

Their entire concept is captivating. I am a massive music fan, and put of all the enigmatic masked bands, ST utilize this in such a brilliant way...and are by far the masters of their imagery and craft. I hope they're around for many years to come. Exciting!☮🖤🎶🎵

When he was in his previous band, he was always emotional (not in a bad way).

[@jmbozigian]

We’re all so lucky to be alive during the era of Sleep Token

[@bensbikes9705]

Sleep token is the best. There songs send me chills

[@Euclid_in_Eden]

Yes,for me there is nothing but Sleep Token for months.I love their music so so much

[@kristentegg7491]

You really are! I’m older and we had soooo much good live music in the 90s. I always feel so bad for young people now, they really don’t have what we had as far as good music, especially live. I’m so stoked to see this band getting popular and young people getting into them, they really are one of the best bands I’ve seen! I haven’t been this excited in years!!

[@yvonnemertel3778]

Yes 🖤🎼🤘

[@spooktoken]

Everyone was crying with him and it's such a beautiful moment

[@cats4ever841]

Him sobbing "thank you ... thank you" breaks my heart into million pieces 😭🖤

[@WyllowNorth]

First time he ever spoke...and then he plays this song. My heart sank

[@moldywalls3086]

when did he say thank you??

[@K_A_D_A]

Timestamp?

[@romysv]

0:15 he's really chocked up 😭@@moldywalls3086

[@moldywalls3086]

@@K_A_D_A Yeah!

[@LPyxel]

I dunno who that was bawling their eyes out during the whole song, but honestly... I feel you.

[@samanthaisom518]

Same. Fuck. 😢

[@emsysuffs]

It was literally everyone. I've never seen anything like it

[@VideoPerNonni]

Wow, this will never be forgotten. What an encore for the fans who supported him during this amazing 2023. This band is a present for the future. Worship

[@Thaisweetchillisensations]

That gal crying wouldve been me in that moment 😭

[@LucyMichela]

I swear Sleep Token is just so refreshing because their art helps people express feelings they thought they never could... their gigs are heaven because it helps you realise you're not alone in those feelings

[@em_birch]

100%

[@emsysuffs]

You can hear the crowd sobbing. I've never been at a gig like this before. I've never cried like this at a gig, I feel like a part of my soul is still there

[@brianpetrouske5207]

The first time I ever heard Atlantic was when I saw them live. I was a sobbing mess in the corner.

[@RespiteofChampions]

To be alive in such a time as this. To be alive during the same years that Sleep Token are all alive and well... Truly magical.

[@WyllowNorth]

The hugs at the end 😭 Truly will always remember that night, I was so blessed to be there too

[@tabeaw123]

I've watched this so many times. The whispered "thank you", Ves just absolutely sobbing and literally dropping to his knees, the hugs (and iii being iii???) at the end. Thank you so much for recording this and sharing it with us all, doing god's (or Sleep's) work here!

[@pho5phoros]

Sleep Token is one of the best thing that happened to music in the last decade, and probably the best thing that happened to metal in the last 15 years

[@dnicol3]

I would have been on the floor sobbing 😭❤️

[@Supremebean28]

I was

[@reidwegrecki2653]

For them to pull out Blood Sport at the end of their biggest show at the end of their biggest year... 🥹 I didn't think I could love this band more... But here we are 😭

[@inspektorgadget1129]

this is not music this is magic

[@mathitis93]

Most of the time, I feel numb. But Sleep Token makes me feel such deep emotions that I can't help but cry. I'm a 30 year old man sobbing at this touching moment. God bless Sleep Token ❤

[@chriskeeling223]

🫶 I feel you mate. You’re not alone so embrace it 🫶

[@tripsis1]

RIght there with you man. I am numb most of the time but I bawl at most of their songs. It releases something inside.

[@chucke9492]

u might have a hidden vagina in u.better recheck.

[@Wimzard]

Damn - that was a real ass moment. Super stoked for the people who got to see it live!

[@diamond6328]

See I'm not really someone who gets moved by a piece of music so much let alone a live performance.. but this.. this made my heart ache I swear, he gives such depth and dimension to his performances when he shows his vulnerability like this, I wish some day I get to experience it

[@tonerru7700]

he's so wonderful, he did beyond amazing despite his condition

[@rglass8423]

What happened?

[@darkslayer1391]

​@@rglass8423He was sick, his voice started going out a little after a few songs. Their tech, Sam, informed the crowd. They took his place for a number of songs and helped carry the energy to keep the show going until he started up again. Really fucking beautiful night.

[@waggshore3777]

I will never forget how magical this night was. Truly a blessing to the eyes and ears

[@callif.9679]

The fact he was sick and he still sounds so beautiful, i cant with him, hes seriously one of the most special and unique lead singers ive ever seen

[@Fredmonster2004]

i will never be able to express how happy i was that i was in attendance for this gathering.

[@msrnbd]

my god this is so unbearably beautiful and touching, i cannot stop sobbing, they are so so good

[@Intoverted_icecube]

This absolutely blew me away. I seriously hope I get to see them in concert someday, especially Blood Sport. Also, the way Vessel sings so powerfully even when sobbing is just incredible.

[@caseycain1646]

Bro, its not that I like to see a grown man cry, but I thoroughly enjoyed this emotional reaction!!! At 38yrs old I JUST learned that not everyone FEELS music the way I do!! Its obvious that you're like me!!! Thank you again so much for this!! Sending virtual hugs bc you need 'em every time you listen to this!!🖤🖤🖤

[@phil3kx]

What a set of absolutely beautiful human beings. I love you all

[@cuponoodles7541]

Theyre so loved, i hope they feel it bc they deserve to feel how much we love them. Theyre so incredible and no other band has truly touched my soul like they have ❤️🥺

[@DejaVuDarkmist]

So happy they're getting the recognition that they absolutely deserve after all these years. Worship.

[@Loubeelou]

This band embodies the Divine, truly. Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear them.

[@murmaiderx-1654]

This one broke me, total worship.

[@FeatherzMcG]

The little thumbs-up he gives to Sam 👍

[@the_mervelliums]

The effect is still the same as it was at the venue, 4 days after and I'm still sobbing as I watch this.

[@zacharyhullender8663]

Ive never been able to pick a single favorite song by them but id put this one at the top of the other 6 lol.

[@zombielord2655]

Bro... this was so beatiful

[@tysmith211]

2:55 girl in crowd really meant that “I can’t win”

[@cazcope]

Can't believe this was a month ago, so proud of then. The love in that room was immense. Was an amazing experience, so emotional. 🖤

[@BigManRandom]

He was counting at the beginning of song omg never hear from him 😢❤lucky

[@Julia-su2wz]

Oh thank you for capturing this very special moment 🙏🏻 I just cried so hard again 😢❤ the thank you in the beginning and fans singing so load and vessel rawness makes this a moment I will never forget

[@ShawnsDrums]

Amazing performance, great video!

[@mollybee2698]

I screamed my lungs off during this song while also crying! Great ending to the night!

[@Atreyous]

I wanna hug him too.

[@paladinminipedro707]

This is the closest to a religious experience I've ever had

[@everypersoneverywhere7955]

Whomever was screaming and bawling inches from the cameraman... I don't know who hurt you, but I feel for you.

[@spooktoken]

Also iii at the end is so funny

um gavião tirando selfie pediu pra eu ver esse vídeo…. emocionante 💔 o final me quebrou 🥺

If vessel sad, I sad

[@rousse387142]

2 beats the absolute F**k outta those drums

[@mybluepoetry]

Lmao that girl was going through something alright

[@Jaqoum_The_Wizard_King]

My poor boy is not keeping it together so good. God Wembley was a fucking *rough one* for Vess. Poor man. Please Sleep do not let it be the same girlfriend in all three albums

[@em_birch]

He was sick and lost his voice during the Wembley show. I imagine a lot of the tears and emotion in this case came from Vessel feeling like he was letting everyone down. He didn't want to disappoint the crowd at a show that was a very big deal for everyone in Sleep Token. They've worked so hard for years now and I'm sure the pressure to do his best was weighing heavy on him. But I think it turned out to be a beautiful thing. All these people, strangers to Vessel, came together to support him and the band by singing when he couldn't.

[@neontatt]

Everything is so cute. Oh no. :( 🖤

[@Will13drumheaded]

as a drummer, I think II is my height... ahhahahaa

[@sbrinilli]

Is the guy next to vessell at the end, the old drummer from Blood youth?

[@arcadeeditsyt]

Yep, he’s their drum tech!

[@androtaz2621]

1;07

[@billyballbag3389]

Ruined by people who can’t sing in the crowd haha.

[@PharmiesFromFremont]

the crowd ruins this so bad

[@xgirlofglassx]

I'm actually dreading going to see them because of people screaming like in this video. I love them so much and if I can't hear Vessel over people scream shouting I'll be devastated.

[@bettybeaaa]

​@@xgirlofglassx Yeah, same. I'm glad that the crowd wants to sing along... But I want to LISTEN to Vessel, not the crowd. I think it ruins the experience... Mostly for songs like these.

[@JSquizzles]

idk - thousands of people reduced to tears by this dude is something incredible. changes the whole thing from just a live performance to some next level art.

[@jiiyongg]

@@bettybeaaa isn't singing along at a concert.. normal? lol

[@hotteybobody]

@@xgirlofglassxbuy loop ear plugs ❤ Amazon $60 blocks out everybody else’s crazy

[@reecesaffire]

Is this like the new emo band phase? Bunch of chicks crying?
