Black Country, New Road - Basketball Shoes - Paris Trabendo 2021

[@pipe]

this was his last performance, so happy there’s footage. Thank you Isaac, wishing him nothing but the best.

[@rifadxyz]

Isn't the Queen Elizabeth performance more recent?

[@pipe]

@@rifadxyz nah it was first broadcasted in march 2021. It got released a year later but queen elizabeth is already 2 years old

[@rifadxyz]

@@pipe ah I see, thanks.

[@ktakyon]

the fact that i’m never gonna see this live makes me wanna cry more

[@Ocidad]

don't gave me a bad news.. what happen?

[@ktakyon]

@@Ocidad Isaac left the band back in late January.

[@diegorubelo1789]

Maybe one day... 🐜

[@maxmalavenda]

Shoutout to Lewis. The sax on this song is what always sticks with me the most. Hoping the studio version elevates Georgia's and May's parts, I feel like that'll blow me away too

[@locke7029]

this is such a phenomenal band. they are so young but they seem like they’ve played together for decades. i only found about them today but i have not stopped watching for hours.

[@rohazsihctib177]

Well too bad thats all we have since isaac the frontman left and he was who put this band on the map!!!

[@mattdrummond3552]

Drummer has gotten so much better. I always liked his style, but he’s really upping his game in the newer stuff

[@datdude3327]

the drumming on Ants From Up There ties it all up so perfectly, total mood setter.

[@pcraig2225]

I can't help but focus on the drums on every track, so fucking good

[@dimwitted-fool]

god when that light turns on behind them during the last chorus, it's like they're standing in front of the damn sun, or they're welcoming you to heaven, or something, i don't know i don't care but i need to see this live

[@eggplantbear]

rip :’( hope isaac is okay

[@dimwitted-fool]

@@eggplantbear yeah wow rip indeed

[@cchampa17]

cant stop watching this, especially that point when isaacs beating the fuck outta his guitar and then stops abruptly for the other lead guitarist to come in with that riff. shits delicious

[@harubo2643]

one of the greatest songs of all time already

[@percyvile]

One of the greatest bands in my lifetime. No doubt.

[@blackcountrynewroadie]

you don't know how much it means to me you recorded this. ❤️️ Commented this the day after the upload, knowing of what happened. Such an important gig to have documented

[@AllWordsAreDust]

Did something happen on this particular gig, or is it just the context of knowing what happened later?

[@spookedlul2519]

this is Isaacs last show before announcing he was leaving

[@solsteiner7241]

@@AllWordsAreDustIsaac’s last ever live show

[@AllWordsAreDust]

@@solsteiner7241 I know, I meant because they said they commented on the day of the upload (October 2021) and Isaac didn't officially leave until a couple of months later - they hadn't cancelled their late November shows (I was meant to be at one of them) at that point either, so I assumed it was meant to be a temporary thing and they expected him back soon, but their comment makes it sound like the situation was serious already. I was wondering if something specifically happened on that day that scared him from performing at all. He seems to me incredibly anxious at some points of this vid in a different way from just his usual emotional intensity doing Basketball Shoes.

AND SHE GROWS LIKE MY MOTHER WITH THE SAME WARM BROW LIKE CHILDHOOD HOLIDAYS GONE I SAY SOMETHING WEIGHTLESS LIKE “WHERE THE HELL DID YOU FALL FROM?” BUT SHE UNDERSTANDS ME, LOOKS AT ME WITH WIDE EYES LIKE SHE’S FOUND GOD AGAIN SHE’S IN SOFT FOCUS ALL AROUND ME I CAN’T SEE THE FOOTBALL GAME

[@cake941]

gone forever

[@gwendeseminat8r]

never forget

[@Bruceboot]

I have returned to say i think this may just be the best song ever made.

[@alexf7377]

It was a TV football pundit who once said of a team that their belief was unbelievable. BCNR had a vision that even playing the smallest venues they had something truly special to give. This performance paved the way for the studio version, one of the most stunning album closers you'll ever hear. Essentially they're a studio band.

[@westky5390]

this quickly became the best song ive ever heard

[@blazepond5518]

so good, this and bread song i keep coming back to, i dont wanna listen to anything else right now

[@datdude3327]

their absolute best performance

[@cake941]

C’était beau ! Merci.

[@daveysaturn7232]

Welp this track dethrones '21st Century Schizoid Man' as my favorite song of all time. Woof

[@inseparalien]

I have this dream about Charli XCX

[@Kyle_etc]

It’s probably for the best that they changed it

[@plasmaearth1796]

Isaac Wood in his 70s talking about how he wrote Basketball Shoes: "It came to me in a dream, y'know?"

[@Gumbo72203]

do we have the original lyrics anywhere? I can't find them or make out all of the lines from the old tapes

[@toimartinto]

@@plasmaearth1796 just brilliant hahaha
