Bombay Bicycle Club - Live at House of Blues (Full Set)

October 18, 2014 - Bombay Bicycle Club, full set at House of Blues Boston. The genre-bending group, formed in 2005 out of North London, put on a high octane set that spanned their four full length albums and three EPs. The sold-out Saturday night crowd witnessed an unforgettable performance including multiple tracks from their 2014 album, So Long, See You Tomorrow as well as hits from their earlier work.
Frontman, Jack Steadman, and bassist, Ed Nash, sat down with WGBH Music before the show to talk about everything from the origin of the band’s name, saying “Hello, Dublin!” in Belfast, and the evolution of their songwriting across their four albums.
Front Row Boston is produced by WGBH Music and Crossroads Presents in association with NPR Music.

The Giantess+Emergency Contraception blues+Evening/Morning= THE MOST EPIC TRANSITION I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!

[@WGBHMusic]

+Alvaro Duran Hedderich Haha, yes, that transition is fantastic.

[@alv_dh]

Thanx a lot for sharing this great concert! :D PS:

[@scottroush7159]

Agreed..... crazy talented

[@elisevazquez1123]

Alvaro Duran Hedderich AMEN

[@HazzaS19]

when i saw them they went from Emergency Conctraception Blues -> Lamplight and was absolutely insane.

[@HewittH]

One of the best concert films I've seen. I wish I could watch it in a theater with a George Lucas sound system. Bombay Bicycle Club is my favorite band of the twenty first century.

[@WGBHMusic]

Thanks for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed the video so much.

[@ainagarak2745]

The Giantess/Emergency Contraption Blues transition is one they do often live. It's the best transition period. But combined with the lighting, videography and slick editing makes _this_ version the best of the best. Brilliant.

[@dearbird1794]

50:22 = mind blown smooth af transition

[@movarinho]

+Megan Cataldi I know awesome right, gutted they didn't do this when i saw them!

[@ryanramirez6618]

[@garrettrandolph9448]

The "Naive Melody" part in Lights Out was a REAL nice touch.

[@KrazyHatDudeJay]

That transition from The Giantess to Emergency Contraceptive Blues is amazing. Always Like This was how I discovered BBC, ECB was the epic intro to their first album that got me hooked

[@sbrncnnr01]

loved seeing basically everyone enjoying the music instead of being on their phones recording

[@Juan23Sanchez15]

I watch this almost daily it's so good!! 🎸

[@WGBHMusic]

Haha, awesome! Thanks, Juan. Glad you like the vid so much. It was an amazing show. One of our favs for sure

[@Aki-or9gi]

I know almost nothing of this band, but inexplicably, I bought tickets to see them this week in Leicester. I'm watching this in preparation for the gig, just so I know a few of their songs! Thanks a lot!

[@angelptlvr]

i love what they said about noticing different audiences and seeing the difference between them

[@luisquitowing]

[@WGBHMusic]

Nice! They do put on a hell of a show

[@HansonJP98]

I would love to see them live. I watch this and other live recordings constantly. they're great

[@askrhonnie6356]

Plz plz never take this video down!

[@Smartacus98]

That must have been one FUCKING AMAZING show. Shame I live several thousand miles away from where it was. Really great set. Flaws is a beautiful album, so glad they included some of it.

[@HectorToTheG]

This is one of the most amazing concerts I've ever seen. Without a doubt.

[@filthymcnasty2081]

I love this band. I was hooked when I heard Lights Out Words Gone for the first time. Thanks for this!

[@craigcullen28]

Nice one mate 👍

[@markkruse7958]

@@craigcullen28 thank you mate

[@emilytwine]

Saw them today at the Citadel Festival in London. Absolutely amazing performers! Can't wait to see them again!!

[@1stargazer12]

If they always performed ivy and gold like THAT, I don't think people would mind that they play some of "flaws". That performance was just beautifully fun! I love at the end of "carry me", jack is strumming so fast and hard, you can hear his picking over the actual sound of the guitar, I've noticed in other performances, its kinda funny, like "hearing" the effort in their songs

[@hopesmith1]

Absolutely incredible! Seeing them live is such a privilege, hopefully one day i'll get to enjoy them in person

[@cozycoty23]

Saw them live in Los Angeles and they were amazing. Never thought I'd be able to relive one of the best shows I've ever been to until I saw this. Thanks WGBH!

[@WGBHMusic]

Thanks, Coty! Glad you found the vid and appreciate the comment.

[@michelleespinosa4810]

I was there, such a good concert! This video doesn't do it justice...the video in the background + the light show were a true work of art!!

[@hardwoodflooringguy1]

My first wife and I played most weekends at the Bombay Bicycle Club at Palumbo's Inn in Waverly, Pennsylvania from 1976 through 1978. We were a duet going by the name Charlie & Alida. What a coincidence that they use that name!!!

[@Dustßunny]

Love this band so talented and impeccable live ✨🥰✨

[@kathmika2]

That version of Rinse Me Down is beautiful! Stunning show

[@yoolars]

So beautiful

[@Frostflakes08]

[@erigoleto]

Congrats to WGBH!

[@Kris-bg7kz]

Great show! Saw them in NYC!

[@WGBHMusic]

They do put on a great show. Glad you got a chance to see them live.

[@longyellowbanana]

7:01 just leaving this here so i can go back to the point before that dude shouts

[@bluevision4213]

Some of these performances legitimately sound better than the studio recording. I can only imagine how much better it sounded right in the concert hall.

[@califcamper3814]

first time I heard this band I was like hmmmmmm, then became pleasantly blown away, song after song......unf first song I heard was how can you swallow so much slee...

[@Scruncho]

Just Discovering These Fellows

[@paviterjuss2319]

[@ThePsychedelicduo]

im in love whit the girl of the band, her voice is amazing, i hope listen her in a solo song.

[@vivindajonsdottir4438]

Martin Gallardo you can listen to her in Cash+David, Toothless, and her solo albums Bedroom Hero and Pity Party. Her name is Liz Lawrence.

[@xbpete8865]

Lucy Rose need's to come back.

[@user-kc7ed1uz6i]

[@polackinyourhood]

Well i want to find that restaurant in north london now!

[@mrswhointhewordru]

wow

[@kotis22]

Saw them in SF on October 5th, their show is purely amazing. Did they not play So Long See You Tomorrow?

[@WGBHMusic]

They did not play that song. Glad you got a chance to see them live. They really do put on a great show. The crowd (and our crew) were loving it.

[@brilliantroads]

Watching all their live show makes me regret sleeping on them sooooo hard :(

[@Undraiks]

In Lights Out, Words Gone, does she says "to go on, to go on, to go on" or "to the one, to the one, to the one"?... It's killing me...

[@WGBHMusic]

+Undraiks I always thought it was "to go on, to go on"...

[@Undraiks]

Me too, but it sounds more like "to the one" sometimes :P...

[@miranda75289]

Live, it sounds like it's "to go on" but in the recording and in the live versions with Lucy it sounds like "to the one".

[@_delino_]

liz lawrence ruined it

[@EVERTONFC.]

Rinse me down boss go ed lads

[@KrazyHatDudeJay]

I feel like I'll never hear Take the Right One live :(
