The Arctic Monkeys headlining Reading Festival on the 29th of August 2009.
Song: 505

[@McJoe1995]

This is the best, dirtiest, grittiest 505 on KZbin. The Humbug era gets a lot of shit but it produced a hell of a lot of awesome performances like this one.

[@bradleyburns7608]

I thought Humbug was brilliant, sure it alienated a lot of people but the amount of layering and darkness in it is beautiful

[@BrianMontesQ]

Because of that bass line

[@aunthaumv3711]

I think most of the fanbase love humbug and the whole era

[@mutedaddy]

@@aunthaumv3711 only recently lol. back then, they all hated it.

[@aunthaumv3711]

@@mutedaddyyeah. Could be. What changed tho?

[@duncanwatson2742]

2:48 Matt casually drumming with one hand while drinking haha

[@robertmitchard9769]

This performance frames the fact that Jamie is an extremely talented and underrated guitarist...

[@michaelmonks9121]

Robert Mitchard you're right. He is often outshone by Alex but he I actually a quality guitarist

[@clevertrevor130]

He seems so much more confident in his playing ability and his stage presence than he did in the early years.

[@MrBurns-um2id]

Jamie is fucking awesome!!! He always sounds like the studio version and he handles all the effect like a boss !!

[@willm3027]

Prefer miles kane on this one

[@fefalcaoc]

jamie is great, but alex still a king on guitar, and he sings, play, and dance lol

[@juzoofficial803]

bro is the living embodiment of the quiet kid turning into the sexiest chad

[@Raver-1601]

Damn sadness is conveyed very clear in this version. The original shouting version makes Alex sound angry rather than sad

[@lovelyy6491]

do you know if he has ever performed like the studio version?

[@Raver-1601]

@@lovelyy6491 Yeah. Their live shows in 2007 is very accurate to the studio version

[@beautifulmidnight571]

I was at this show - it was mega. Humbug era is the best era of AM.

[@rai_kwon]

I envy you

[@hyungwoneesgwoneees3700]

Wasnt it hot knowing how cramped the venue looked like, but still must have been a blessing to have been there.

[@beautifulmidnight571]

@@hyungwoneesgwoneees3700 The venue has good seating. I in seating and I was glad:) Could see his mate Miles too he was also in the VIP seating

[@sof_t_]

They way he says "you've been an exceptional bunch" got me melting on the spot

[@olivegranola]

its been exactly 10 years and let me just say, I am still crying over this version.

[@goguitox]

This version sounds so much more deep and great with one note lower... it's just beautiful!

[@sebvnds]

Actually, its two semitones, ye its sounds great!

[@RobertBakkerHeeg]

i think alex sings it amazing now! especially the last word smile.. at the latest concerts he does it like that and i really get tears in my eyes when he does it that way...

truly the best live performance of 505. so dark and emotional 😭

This version sounds like sexy and dark

theres something about this live that just stands out more than the other live performances for this song idk what it is but im addicted

nothing compared to their manchester apollo performance. but still... "but i crumble completely when you cry" remains the most orgasmic moment in the history of music..

i love how he casually had his hand in his pocket, during his most iconic performance T-T

[@WingsOfFate9]

This song goes very well with their new style, 505 and Only Ones Who Knows were the begining of Humbug in my opinion.

[@radityo5672]

Edu Mc and if you were there beware(?)

[@JoeDoyleLeicester]

Phenominall... Nick's subtle bass fills during the slow bit are quality!

[@blakev6943]

This song hits so hard and i love it

[@40burrows]

I have watched this over and over again - beautiful - Humbug shows that they won't stay in one place musically and will grow - I LOVE THEM!

I adore their matching haircuts they all look so cUTE

505 in a lower key is so good

*tappy

[@AstroSully]

Just realized 😂

[@taka-taktak]

"Fank you very much for having us"

[@BonJ2211]

Maybe I'm a silly boy but they're better than ever. They're more mature and seem to evoke more emotion in what they do. 'Humbug' as an album was close to perfect and the way they fixed their songs to go with this style was genius. Meanwhile, '505' can't be tweaked. It IS perfect. Superb performance.

[@juliokilljoy4350]

it sounds so....dark

I'm going back to 505 If it's a seven-hour flight or a forty-five-minute drive In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side With your hands between your thighs [Verse 1] Stop and wait a sec When you look at me like that, my darling, what did you expect? I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck Or I did last time I checked [Verse 2] Not shy of a spark The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start [Chorus] I'm going back to 505 If it's a seven-hour flight or a forty-five-minute drive In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side With your hands between your thighs [Instrumental Break] [Orgas.. Verse 3] But I crumble completely when you cry It seems like once again you've had to greet me with "Goodbye" I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise Take my hands off of your eyes too soon [Chorus] I'm going back to 505 If it's a seven-hour flight or a forty-five minute drive In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side With your hands between your thighs and a smile

is it just me or does this one sound so close to the original? it’s my favourite

[@ianhuenuqueo5540]

In this version, they played 505 one town down, thats why it sounds more dark and lower than the disco version

@fluorescentt7 i felt it was more of a display of respect to the other band members. to let them finish off the set without there front man. to let them get the last cheer. alex, to me reminds me alot like robert plant from led zeppellin, he did the same thing alot of the time at the end of a show. he left slightley early to show apreciation(mind the spelling mistakes, i am hammered). to the other performers for there remarkable performance. anyway....awesome show.
