Death From Above 1979 - Live: Going Steady, Romantic Rights

Live from Paredes de Coura, 2005 Portugal.

[@jackoo666]

for anyone hating on the live sound, you have to imagine youre actually there. this is fucking impressive as shit.

[@tracypanavia4634]

+jackoo666 not sure you're convincing them buddy

[@scotchrobbins]

Seconded. Seen them live twice, greatest death an eardrum can die.

[@laxku]

If you already know what they sound like, you can infer that this sounded GIGANTIC live. The video is not a great representation (bass comes through especially poorly on lower quality recordings), but is still appreciated.

[@vevvenennevvev5945]

I think it sounds fucking awesome, this is exactly how these songs should sound live

[@Kekkeyu]

of course DFA79 belongs into small, dark, sweaty clubs - not some summer festival at 2 pm

[@djleblanc1612]

Seen them at Sonic Boom one year around that time and made my year. The experience & sound doesn't translate well to the representation in this vid. I'll take DFA any time, anywhere I can get them

[@HowlinAdamJames]

Making music isn't about making money it's about being creative and doing what you love. These guys love playing music, that's why they got back together to tear shit up. And you don't need a band, this is 2 people making all this noise. 2 guys tearing up that stage. I'm letting you know that your judgement of music is clouded. This is a great live band and you need to realize that. They don't need a Kiss pyro show or lasers and smoke. It's a bass and a drum kit. Great band.

[@UE-bc7lc]

HowlinAdamJames it just is death from above, no lights, no glamour, but death from above. Perfect

[@TubbaBlubba]

Well said.

I had no idea Jesse played keys on the outro, I always assumed it was his bass

[@boko5150]

Sam Bullock same

[@boyman7823]

Sam Bullock tbh we'll never know what he used in the studio version because they sound so similar hah

[@jmanitowabi]

boyman its a synth, doesn’t sound like a bass and there’s notes so high that a bass can’t play them.

[@federicoperez4373]

Jhon Dwyer, Nice!

[@kentuckyclawson8450]

This band had a great visual aesthetic. I can definitely see why they did especially well aside from how heavy and groovy the music is. They look like rockstars, they move like rockstars, they talk like rockstars. In my opinion it's more than a shame that they didn't keep their momentum. I feel like time away from this project to focus on their own work in conjunction with the pressure of the comeback and the ego boost the film gave them is making them go for a more modern marketable sound instead of sticking to their guns, the punchline ultimately being that their guns are what gave them their shot. Don't get me wrong, physical world is aight, but the intention is clear based of the lead singles. A piece of the puzzle is trying to change dfa to something that it shouldn't have to be. They don't have to be a pop group or a dance group, they can be a great heavy rock band.

[@jordanwilliams953]

Kentucky Clawson this comment is spot on. what do you think of Outrage! is now?

[@namedidii]

youre right but they were definitely dance punk always

[@80419415769]

Ya I always felt this was danceable hard rock, the groove and energy is just crazy

[@LarkinsDeLaMare]

They for sure have one of the best live shows ever. Saw them a few weeks ago and it was absolutely brutal but beautiful haha

[@coinslot1953]

Brilliant stuff. Great to see the guys young, dumb & free from tattoos. Best. Band. Ever.

[@machin3635]

The fucking energy coming from these guys is unreal

[@ryanwoods5687]

Idk how Kdays got them to perform . This band rocks . July 25th, 2024 in Edmonton during Klondike Days festivities .

[@cosmicpeace001]

After watching them play train wreck live on letterman when they put on KZbin. I saw this video in the recommended. I thought they were great but after watching this one I became a hardcore fan! DFA1979 FOREVER!!!

[@bubsadoozy]

Recently there were new live songs posted. JFK;s twitter stated however that all these videos are to be removed and that fans shouldn't spoil what is to come. You may still be able to find them. The album still has no drop date set. Hopefully soon!

[@fudgeythewhale87]

So glad I got to see these guys twice. Awesome

[@1980manutd]

YEAH GOT TICKETS FOR THE LONDON SHOW SOO EXCITED!!!!!

[@Kiter02]

I'm so glad they got back together or I would have never heard of them. I saw them at sasquatch and was like D:

[@Arrinxeiro]

They will play again by the end of the month, in this same festival :D Tatara ra ra, im lovin it!!!

[@nikito122]

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM THIS JULY!!

[@liswifi]

Is that still happening? It's nearly summer and they've not said a word :(

[@Normski89]

One of the best bands since the turn of the century.

[@mistererd]

I haven't seen this video in months. Still bloody Orson! Come on DFA, release a new album (or two)!

[@aahxzen]

Playing @Osheaga... definitely will psyched for that

[@tonedelaura]

i see them in Paredes de Coura festival 2011 and was quickass, really really brutal

[@TPassos19]

That's right, but DFA1979 have been there again in 2011 and believe me, it was INSANE!!

[@startervisions]

So cool lol

[@TheToillMainn]

@Johnnypt13 It has been done so many times. Most known artist to do it is Lemmy from Motörhead. It's not really that original. Cool anyways though.

[@MBUTLERWINK]

THEY ARE BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Cooki3st]

I can't turn the speakers loud enough for this.

[@bubsadoozy]

Unfortunately so. They postponed it again. New stuff is online though. Live material.

[@trilogiawow]

got to love the afternoon concerts in paredes de coura or walls of leather lol

[@say12thebear]

FYF! Can't wait to see them with The Descendants

[@ricekrspysquare]

@respiri2 they are officially reuniting

[@bubsadoozy]

Twitter/First page of google search. Also for a bit there were new songs posted live on here but DFA immediately took them down.

[@padariagang]

i was there!!!!!

[@slaveshallserve]

Saw them at the HMV Forum last night in London. They fucking killed it, awesome

[@gbrooks2]

Excellent recording, thanks for this! Shame they had to split.

[@bass0slappa]

@BigMert YES!!!

[@guitarristapedro]

if people wanted perfection they would just listen to de original recording, but no, we want this amazing energy these guys have onstage, i can see how boring it would be both playing worried trying to keep every thing perfect, that would suck! this band is energy, and they are doing this very well onstage!

[@Bildevoful]

6:34 Fuck yea.

[@fparadise1979]

going steady FTW!

[@bubsadoozy]

New album in Spring 2013. Look'er up.

[@theduckfromthejoke152]

Yeeeeeeesssss... i know this.base rift was taken from some 80s like rod stewart song ir whatever... but... its like they held it hostage and DFA rescued it in a barrage of bullets blood and glory...

[@bubsadoozy]

Linking is difficult on here but here is what you can search on google: Death From Above New Album Billboard Epic. You'll find it.

[@evilwalrus666]

what do they do wrong ? nothing..nothing at all - what makes the live performance sound different than what you hear on the studio recorded track ?? well - thats what is great about them - every time i've heard them play live, its been different than the last - some i love, some i like, some i dont, but ALL, have the same feel - and are Death From Above 1979 - Playing with their own material - anyone can record/produce an album - but to play it (not regurgitate it) - that is true tallent

[@TheMegaGaylord]

@1980manutd They sold out so quickly! I got mine!

[@picchu10]

@idcdammit its a song called romantics rights :O

[@sitoandi]

:OOOOOOOOOOOO fucking amazing

[@gracehopkins3113]

Their new stuff is okay but god, do I ever miss the primitive ooga booga shit with no samplers, just that overwhelmingly amazing bass rig, the synth, a drumkit and a voice. Limitations good. It kind of saddens me that they seem to see this era of the band as a failure to reach their ambitions.

[@MrGuarf]

6:47 Is that ANTHONY KIEDIS from RHCP in the background behind Sebastien?

Have you ever seen a live concert? If you can't feel that high energy for Romantic Rights, that's your problem. I'm not a gay hipster I just work for a radio station and love music more than you. This band live is nuts, if you watched them in a garage it would be the greatest show on earth.

[@theaterobscura]

Is anyone else as distracted by Jesse's watch as I am?

[@Sedrikk1250]

@KillSeattleLewis Because of the way JFK gets his sound, you can only make it so loud without the PA's clipping/cutting/humming/...blowing up. His low end frequencies are cranked on the amp's eq so HIS speakers clip/cut/hum/break up. Any louder on the PA and it's just going to sound like mud. But I agree, at least turn down the drums if you can't amplify his sound. watch?v=FWFCl2oHnaI&t=6s That is what his bass sounds like when it is over amplified by the PA. Notice the popping and un-clarity :)

[@bennettnettina]

Romantic rights sounds better live

[@sivaband9958]

really want JFK's Bass.

[@thebronze95]

Am I the only person watching this who thinks DFA are fucking perfect live?

[@sdllerena]

they speed up the song for some moments, and slow it down. they suck at playing but that's the reason why beer is sold in a gig: for you not to notice!

[@HowlinAdamJames]

Why aren't they good live then? Explain what they do wrong?

[@federicoperez4373]

lots of cocaine

[@SnowHimbo]

Your insults won't make them play any better :(

[@kitelicker100]

nope

[@rook1nubZ]

JFK is a god.

[@alacedodyssey]

dead crowd

[@williammarshburn]

Damn... slow down. The origional tempo is better

[@SnowHimbo]

The only thing that will really make you feel better is admitting to yourself that they suck live, and that there is room in this world for a gay hipster. You can be yourself, it's okay :D

[@SnowHimbo]

Well if you're anything it's NOT a musician - because any creative person knows that music is subjective. Poor live performance, however, is not. And I don't have a band - there's no money in music anymore.
