Bloc Party - Helicopter LIVE @ Glastonbury 2009 [HQ]

[@user-jy2cw7bd3f]

this is honestly one of the most exciting performances i have seen from any band, they are such a tight band it's unbelievable how good these guys were/still are

[@idrissb9742]

RHCP at slane castle in 2003 is on another level imo, in its entirety, highly recommend it its on youtube in full. They are insanely in sync

[@iceman10129]

do you mean tight in terms of cool, because this performance while super fun is super sloppy. Tempo was not their friend with this one.

[@maximiliank.277]

@@idrissb9742 Slane castle RHCP, to this day, is the greatest concert of all time, John Frusciante absolutely stole the show as well.

Matt Tong is a fucking beast.

[@gregorythomas5804]

This song was meant to be live, loud, and fast!

[@pierre.estenaga]

Happens a lot with Bloc Party!

[@cul8erinnovator]

Amazing. The bit before the last chorus where they all seem like they're all soloing at the same time and yet remain in time and keep the pace of the song going is incredible. Has to be in the top ten best songs of the decade.

[@MajorCanada]

The technical performance is intense. They are no-look ripping solos in time. Unreal.

[@avishai2963]

You know you've made it when the entire 50 thousand people are screaming your lyrics louder than the band.

[@ainsley8144]

Avishai this always happens at Glastonbury 😎 Such a well informed crowd musically

Have they made it?

[@sgs261]

Stunning. I want to love the new Bloc Party as much as this, but you can't beat the original.

[@josealqueres]

URGH.... the were meant to be fast and furious.. this chick on the drums takes the vibe waaay down

[@vjerannaglic2722]

1:00 when the whole crowd knows your lyrics...amazing atmosphere

[@iand4374]

This is about a good of a performance a band can give. The crowd's reactions are insane

[@kanejules7939]

Still one of the best festival performances

[@ramabranch]

this 4:52 minutes are Bloc Party at the top of their game. As much as I still like them there's no way of topping this.

[@ohmysausages]

I can't understand people saying he can't sing, for me in this song it seems he performs it immensely

[@airplanesacoustic]

anytime you can say "sing it" and 50K people are all singing the words to your song you've reached music living legend status.

[@darter890]

This song is like a good wine, it only gets better with time!!! 🔥🔥

[@chuckleloo]

Damn. This was the year I graduated high school. I’m 28 now and I remember finding this band in 2005 on a sick day from school when I wasn’t even really sick. I would’ve killed to be 18 around that time. Going to concerts and traveling without parents restrictions and phones seems like a crazy time not far removed. I envy anyone who got to experience this moment.

[@alfiewright1396]

The Tony Blair wonder years...before the recession... arctic monkeys and in rainbows blasting from the speakers.. god I wish I wasn't 8 years old at that time

[@onizukathegame4808]

Man now im 31.How are you? You are good? :)

[@sutats]

Those were the better memories of the great recession.

[@jonathan92uk]

Best band I have ever seen live. FACT.

[@tyretear1263]

crowd singing in this one gives me goosebumps holy shit

[@albertlopez167]

Best performance i've ever seen from the band

[@PhilandCo]

when the crowd sings the first few lyrics… goosebumps every time i watch this

[@Manuel_Wlisses]

Spectacular performance!! 🔥🔥

[@moosesnWoop]

That crowd singing is goddamn beautiful

[@yariotomatikmandalin]

Been there, done that. It's been more than 3 years but every time i see this video i feel the same things that i felt at that concert. Fucking fascinating. Thank flying spaghetti monster for Bloc Party!

[@poundlandwarrior15]

This is incredible

[@smudge1011]

i love the way u can see how much they have grown and even on this one of thier earliest songs they throw in a bit of improv because they have learnt more and are so relaxed when playing this live :D

[@MangosInTrees]

SING ITTTT

[@h4r4]

My whole body is ravaged by pins and needles. Amazing crowd. Proud to be part of this country for moments like these.

[@TrashGordon36]

0:52 - he is the coolest man on the planet at that exact moment

[@Kivoou]

I've been watching this video several times each month since it was uploaded, just because the performance is so great, and am really fascinated about the fact that more than 50% of the top-comments in the past and now relate to this gril at 1:55.

[@diegoramremodeling8096]

One of the best bands of our time. Very inspiring

[@deathangel119]

Favorite song ever!!! I love this video!!

[@MrSuperdrunk123]

[@WeAreSoFreak]

Best live I've ever seen on youtube ...

[@mylondecker9283]

I'm so fortunate to have seen Bloc Party live though Matt and Gordon was gone. It was still damn good.

[@TheMijoAaron]

Mylon Decker why were they gone?

[@cinemalights2625]

SeMTeX Plague They both left the band and were replaced by Justin and Louise.

[@TheMijoAaron]

Cinema Lights why did they leave?

[@J_VTZ]

I love how Bloc Party has song after song which becomes my favourite! Helicopter to Banquet to Hunting For Witches to Flux to Uniform to Ares to Mercury to One More Chance to Talons to Your Visits Getting Shorter to Compliments to Song For Clay to SRXT To England To Rhododendron to Skeleton to Like Eating Glass to She's Hearing Voices to Signs to Sunday to So Here We Are to Positive Tension to The Prayer and it goes on + repeats itself! They said new material will be released by the end/summer!

[@MrCaseooooo]

Brill song, love those Fender Telecaster Guitars :-)

Can you imagine if they released a new album and it was as good as Silent Alarm and they got added to the Glastonbury and Reading line ups. How mental would that performance be
