Bloc Party - Ion Square [Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2009]

[@evanpoole7829]

I think this might be my favourite live performance of any bloc party song ever...

[@CofRed403]

Possibly their most underrated song. Never really gave it a chance when I was younger, now it's one my favourites. This band, even after 18 years still surprises me some times when I re-listen to stuff I overlooked back then

[@devilshaircut666]

This song is a built up, the climax raises and raises until the booooomm! >3

[@evanpoole7829]

The bit at the end is so incredible live

[@heidelle]

[@stephenroche5107]

Great band sadly very underrated.

[@evanpoole7829]

Gordon is so good on keyboard

[@thatguynico]

nice find! havent heard this performance of ion square yet. in fact, i think the only live version i have is the one from itunes with that girl who did the annoying scream at the beginning.

[@bmanjj2]

+thatguynico There is a live version of this on itunes?

[@pvtherman]

+bmanjj2 its the 2008 iTunes Live From London EP that Nico is talking about. Unfortunately, its region restricted to Australian buyers only on the iTunes store. The Ion Square version on that one sounds very good as well since it seems direct from the soundboard. Although I really love this Montreux version!

[@bmanjj2]

+pvtherman That's a shame. I love this song and its live rendition, but there is nothing Australian about me.

[@thatguynico]

+bmanjj2 i believe i got it from the UK itunes store

[@pvtherman]

+thatguynico - Yeah it's on there too. Forgot about that. I just keep getting re-directed to Australia whenever I try to find it on my iTunes store...

[@boouzhy]

big props to Gordon Moakes on that piano, ive played that myself and its horrific!

[@alxcia]

And the drums are a nightmare to play too

[@boouzhy]

@alxcia matt tong is a brilliant drummer. Shame he's no longer part of the group.
