Air, Royksopp, Zero 7, St Germain, Daft Punk, Late 90s/ early 2000s chill was so good.

[@DMSparky]

Because everyone is wondering the fantastic drummers name is Louis Delorme. Also shoutout to whoever mixed this it sounds phenomenal.

[@stevenponte6655]

hes my cousin! :)

[@MiguelSantos-oi6zl]

When the live version is better than the original, that means a lot about how professional they are and how good they are. Lots of dedication without a doubt. They nailed it with class 😎 Congratulations And thanks for making me smile

[@buvetina]

Hypnotic. Timeless. That bass pulse is just so so good. Awesome

[@MiguelSantos-oi6zl]

The first time he shakes the first note on that bass it catch me immediately. Great musicians. You should check the version in Paris

[@kaytees779]

​@@MiguelSantos-oi6zl ❤1--'❤W❤❤Q1Q11😊

[@soegam]

The very best live performance of "La femme d'argent". No more comments. Listening to that is a transportation experience . Waouh... just incredible.

[@studioflat6885]

soegam checkout their performance at la blogotheque in Paris. In my opinion even better than this one. Amazing architecture as well

[@ThomasNimmesgern]

I guess the performance @@studioflat6885 referred to is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXikfX2ia75kbNk - another great performance of "La femme d'argent", especially combined with the extraordinary architecture.

[@johnworrall3646]

Yep the best 👍

[@johnworrall3646]

Yep the best 👍 😊😁

[@michaeltough2449]

nope, it's this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIvJgYuOhtiSh8k more live parts, more original vintage gear, better drummer and nicer bass :)

[@erikhecht4352]

Was lucky enough to be at this show. Only recently discovered they'd posted footage of it. ♥️

[@dep101]

AIR : Background music of my all dreams .

[@stiLLa2000]

I love Air, listen to them every night i go to bed! 10.000Hz Legend is legendary!

[@1Ocqueoc]

Love the way that he gives the bass several different roles - bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar .... all at the same time

[@c.solar.s]

Air and La Femme D'Argent forever. Thanks for this clip.

[@Hydrochoerusisthmius]

What a healthy tone of the bass !

[@interstellar618]

Absolutely amazing!! I just clapped and cheered, alone in my office lol. What an astonishing crescendo!!)

[@DaltonCulture]

that drumming is phenomenal

[@simracer1256]

If ever two bands were made to tour together, it's Air and Daft Punk.

[@pankeaux]

are you reading my mind ?

[@robertjameson4101]

Dude... If only

[@johnworrall3646]

Oh there ya go !

[@comptypants]

Lol are you kidding me

[@tooltool5824]

supporting Pink Floyd

[@igotdapower]

How did I not find this earlier? I was there, these guys were simple unbelievable, every aspect of the show was break taking

[@themaskedredbandit]

Are they always so brilliant live? I soooo long to see their performance. I listened to Moon Safari countless times, it is a masterpiece

[@jm12green31]

Yeah thank buddha for youtube bc it's nearly impossible to find live video content of them anywhere

[@paulmaxwell-walters8861]

I was at this gig. They were amazing live...

[@silvertongues2]

I hope they play it like this tonight at the Royal Abert Hall!

[@thejellyshed]

How did the Royal Albert Hall gig match your expectations? I was there on the Friday (31st May) and loved the visuals.

[@silvertongues2]

Yeah it was good I thought, maybe a little subdued though, and I preferred the second half over the Moon Safari set, but the visuals were great and very original. I really wish they had a vocalist for All I Need instead of the kind of dub version they did.

[@thejellyshed]

@@silvertongues2 yea, I thought the second half was much better too. I really liked the enclosed box visuals idea though. It would have been the icing on the cake to have a proper female vocalised version of All I Need, the same with You Make It Easy.

[@Wilantonjakov]

this truly is remarkable musicianship. AIR really is something special, and thank you Opera House for uploading this masterpiece.

[@MiguelSantos-oi6zl]

Indeed Mate that’s a piece or art Awesome

[@Utd_4Me]

Oh my Days WoW WoW 😮

[@Utd_4Me]

They left out the best part tho.

[@brucegrunwald20]

The key synth placement is spot on

[@luckyme4136]

**GOOSEBUMPS**

[@stephenmorrison9707]

Please bring them back. Air, please come back to Sydney

[@sylvie-anne.DMT974]

So amazing music

[@danielducharme466]

The bass guitar solo is incredible. Breathes fire into an already mind melting performance.

[@ritamarks3935]

Amazing performance! Looking forward to the day I can see AIR perform live again... Last time for me was in 2004 in Atlanta, Georgia... Please come back!! You guys rock my world.

[@jamesseabolt5915]

The drummer kicks azz! Love this song.

[@kristifrroku3170]

I would always put this music to listen, always when I would visit the galaxies in all universes.

[@franciscojoaquina877]

Great audio quality!

[@technofeeling2462]

Some days ago I discovered it again on the radio. It was a trip. It was a psychedelic experience

[@pedromanafaia]

Fantastic

[@abydos-musique]

Classe et élégance, c'est Air.

[@jjforcebreaker]

Simply outstanding performance.

[@sebastianjurkiewicz1147]

can't stop to do that bass... they are hypnotic!

[@nickhaldin8674]

I never understood why they play this song live without the organ solo. The bass groove and the organ solo make the song.

[@MiguelSantos-oi6zl]

Check the version in Paris

[@brucegrunwald20]

Masterful

[@allanrobertson5501]

Fantastique! Definitely need something to get you in the mood when going to an AIR concert.

[@shaunpattinson1621]

Saw them at the SOH in 2010; MAGICAL.

[@hellmz8580]

The song of my life

[@elaisagrace5232]

Very soothing. Thank you. 🙏🏽

[@wakeinfright5498]

Idk why but I would love to see a co-headlining tour with AIR & MINISTRY. A bipolar spectacular spectacle!

[@peggysmyth6110]

Wow, just wow! An amazing performance.

[@DMSparky]

In a month I’m flying 7800KM to go see them perform in Geneva. Hahaha 😂

[@marcelobecerra5083]

El bajo es la columna vertebral en este gran tema de hipnosis y de buen gusto musical 👏🎶 🇫🇷

[@michealcurrie8272]

Air. futuristic, reverberations of harmonious waves of sounds like the idea of what is your responsibility. To send us more quality music for the mind..

[@Loungeroomlizard65]

a breath of fresh air . 💥

[@shmukz]

Wonderful

[@strangus]

What a great band

[@thierrygander3870]

cette basse me fait penser a celle qu il y a dans cycle Melody Nelson et j adore ca..........yes....grandiose

[@iamsheep]

Awesome! First time I’ve heard them live.

[@abydos-musique]

The drummer is a killer!

[@themaskedredbandit]

I agree!

[@tehacjusz79selfmade32]

[@marlonsouza2658]

very very good...

[@whereshadowsshrink1046]

Was at this gig and it was sensational. A few years earlier I attended 2 of the Kraftwerk Opera House gigs during Vivid. Would love to see some footage from that.

[@Fiur4669]

6:43 God Mode on

[@andrewjarvis9958]

As much as I loved the recent 3 man show - think it sounds better with an extra keys player and all the vintage kit rather than some backing parts and the modern emulation keys.

[@jennifermartelet3104]

Who's the genius behind those visuals?

[@phero2]

Great to see Will Forte try his hand at other stuff

[@MartinKay-pl3zy]

Mastetpiece 👍

[@jm12green31]

I learned ab air in the year 2000 and def top 2 or 3 all time favorites along with william orbit

[@technofeeling2462]

Thx for reminding me of William orbit

[@laraaylen777]

Una maravilla

[@fernandoherranz4095]

The hardest working guy on that stage is the dude with the pink hat. For sure.

[@Htheorphanarian]

If this doesn't get my like than I don't deserve KZbin

[@rickmoyher7]

Mick Gordon roots!

[@tehacjusz79selfmade32]

no mercy

[@lui1525]

The drummer os a same drummer at Charlotte Gainsbourg? Sorry my english, I from Argentina

[@nielstarge5761]

Luis Urquiza it is ;)

[@luisfilipepereira8056]

They wrote songs for Charlotte Gainsbourg.....

[@monicamasciocchi4874]

[@proper90s43]

Seems to me that the BPMs are too fast on the orginal. Maybe that's for the millenials, but keep it slow as it was. It was better.

[@pankeaux]

TRON

[@tehacjusz79selfmade32]

strach tego sluchac taki odlot...

[@AndalusianPrince]

why arent they playing that iconic keyboard riff like in the original in any of their live performances?

[@danielducharme466]

Ummmmm they totally do.....

[@simonburns1055]

I came to see the MS20 conquer

[@ozricness]

Old school arps-and-weirdness.🙂

[@baiagallery6646]

juk

[@judinkinds8307]

i feel pity for the drummer. it seems he's the only one who uses the most energy in this performance

[@spurv]

Define "the most energy". Everyone is 100% committed. It's obvious.

[@stafvh5783]

What do you want more? That they run a marathon while playing?...🙄🤪

[@joepatroni8777]

Jeremy Josh stole this melody in 2003 (tape) from zero7.

[@yannbranruz422]

C'est nettement mieux que du RAP , mais après Tangerine Dream c'est pas ouf non plus

[@reaffrests3617]

Unbelievable there : a dead band live. Boring guys…

[@redscape]

in lieu of talent, this is cool, i guess.

[@theindividualizt]

Genius!
