That guitar solo... unreal

[@epicscenes4u]

This is 2023. I just want to let you guys know that this song is still as beautiful as ever! ❤❤🌹

[@Inthefoxhole]

Come on Superbowl people,hire this gem of a band to play during halftime, please.

[@ronnietoots6797]

these guys kick ass live..yeah that would be SuperBowl remembered

[@ryansymons8915]

They are too classy for football

[@jeremysears4263]

@@ryansymons8915 Possibly right. But if they were asked the exposure would blow people away. Especially those on psychedelics

[@none11ification]

Definitely! This is the kind of show

[@inlakesh555]

I fear they are not 'relateable' and famous enough... which says nothing sbout their talents and musical skills!

[@epplebradley9395]

Can't stop listening to this man what a song, these 2 Aussie blokes are saving music in the modern age well done lads keep it up

[@genevievecoxon6916]

Is that right? you know, I had no idea they were Aussies, in fact I never even thought at all where they were from, Epple Bradley. COOL !!

[@epplebradley9395]

I think they are.... Anyway whatever the only thing I've heard in about the past 7 years thats real music anyway. Good on them 2 lads bossing it!!!!

[@lyndoncamm6493]

Epple Bradley yep previously from the sleepy jackson. KZbin sleepy jackson and they bang out more aussie greatness. Beauty mate and rock on EOS. 🤙

[@aaronbarlow4376]

I stole the cake, took a slice handed it back then stole it again.

[@kuripich]

Don't forget Donnie Sloan and Peter Mayes who contribute a lot to the recordings! Fun fact, "Walking on a Dream" was almost 100% Donnie - he wrote most of it and played bass, guitar and drums on that song :)

[@xandershawvlog]

MGMT, Empire of the Sun, Parcels and Jungle pushing music so much. These are extra special and always ahead of their time.

I wish that solo was 4 times as long. Such a great performance by everyone!

Huh?

[@vegbloke]

The best ever performance by a band and dancers on Jools' show ever. The effort they made to get all this ready and such a beautiful song.

[@DD-vl4ih]

Sounds a little to produced 😢

[@vegbloke]

@@DD-vl4ih If you mean over produced you say "too produced" , two 'o's. These guys are playing live. It's on Later With Jools Holland. I think the whole thing sounds audibly rich and beautiful. Like a lovely warm puff pastry mince pie at Christmas. Man , the sounds they're getting out of those guitars.

It's an excellent song and sounded great live. Kudos to the band for the whole package -- costumes, set design, choreography -- and to the BBC for the sound mixing and camerawork. There isn't anything on US television that can hold a candle to Jools' show.

[@lulashepard3253]

Just discovered this band recently, and boy am I pissed! When it comes to Dance/Pop/Rock, this is as close to perfect as it gets for me. This is my favorite tv performance of them that I’ve seen. I believe the original recording is in a higher key, but I much prefer this version.

[@davidhunt6463]

Who needs these armchair DJs doing crappy remixes when Luke Steele elevates the song to a whole new level with his vocals and amazing guitar playing. I'm 54 and I love this band. They've put everything into the music and also the visuals. That level of attention to give the fans what they love is what puts Empire Of The Sun right at the top.

[@ranozziinlove]

We're the same age and love it

[@leskobrandon8454]

Well said my brother

[@loveconquersall143]

Same here - and I totally agree! 👍💕 I'm in Perth - where his father has been playing guitar here for decades. What a talented family! 👏

[@nancypirtle2626]

With COVID 19 messing up the world now, it feels like another life ago, but I saw EOTS last year in Dallas! Haven't seen a live concert in forever but HAD TO SEE MY FAVORITE BAND! So glad I did. This song and all the others were just awesome! This puts me in my happy place. About to SPOTIFY all the songs on full blast while WFH!! xoxo

Deep blue.. Alice D pure power and Luke's amazing voice is just out of this planet

[@antoniocarrasco4137]

O magnífico grupo continua a marcar a diferença, sempre magnificamente.

[@loveconquersall143]

In memory of you - my gorgeous Sammy, who introduced me to this video not that long ago (omg, we loved that guitar solo!!!). I'll love you forever. Never, ever forgotten... 💝🙏🌹🥰🦋😘

[@65raven]

That guitar riff is meaty..... 🎶 ....oh yeah!

[@adsnormal]

Saw him when he was 17 playing ripping Hendrix covers. Excellent guitarist,good to see him showing some chops

[@julianwarmington1267]

I reckon! What do you think of that last 20 seconds of magic at the end there with the guitar solo?! - Talk about that old performance strategy of "Leave them wanting more." I could listen to a 10-min. extended play of that solo alone...

[@Dogrockdog]

He's got it. His dad is a bluesman. His family are all musos.his sister Katy was in a chart topping band ( little birdy)

[@donna25871]

Ads Carrel the entire Steele family is fantastically talented.

[@lulashepard3253]

As a newcomer to this party I’m still figuring out what’s going on, but yeah, I agree that Luke is a very good guitarist. At first I wondered with all the costumes why bother playing, since as a front man it tends to inhibit movement onstage (Tobias Forge of Ghost gave up playing once it became apparent that he had to sing lead). My guess is Luke likes playing, thinks he’s good at it, and since he doesn’t play on every single song, it works for him.

[@timfudy3147]

Never really take much notice of choreography but those girls are awesome.

[@MJ.71]

[@vegbloke]

The choreography and suits are gorgeous, you try it at home and see how far you get!!. What a wonderful, probably the best Jools Holland clip ever. Although Band Of Horses 'No-ones gonna love You Like I do' and Future Islands 'Waiting On you' are close; but this just hits the spot. A Desert Island Disc if ever there was.

[@dyarom4575]

I like the choreography, lovely dancers.

[@demonade8]

Awesome decoration for a live performance. Seems like EotS wants to bring the feeling of their music video to the stage. 5 out of 5 stars.

[@lavoltare6307]

Such an awesome band.

[@1789Bastille]

they sound better live-....a little more raw and edgy....on record it is a little more sterile...this live sound suits them really much better

[@andrespuerto9121]

yeahh< Jools and that bbc production is always on the top of sound quality

[@paulbaker7675]

Later with Jools is all about being live, doubt there was an option to come on and mime like they have done elsewhere.

[@Cowntsikin]

speaking of "a little more", Nick Littlemore is absent. As usual.

[@manuelmigues8542]

1789 Bastille est SATANIQUE. La révolution Française est une oeuvre satanique contre la nature divine de l'humanité et, contre la bonté de DIEU créateur de tous les êtres vivant. C'est le début de l'invention du communisme et, des dictatures athées totalitaire comme, également le nazisme. Ce dogme tue des millions de personnes en l'espace de 200 ans PLUS, que la totalité de l'histoire humaine depuis ses début.

[@Skiptondesigns]

He's a fuckwit.

[@transitosalazar8077]

Que hermosa banda

[@squirrelbutler2119]

Just a great song

[@leorickard6303]

I've been refraining from commenting on this track for some time now so as not to cause any offence to Luke or Nick. However having listened to this track over and over I have to say this live version on Jools's show is much better than the CD version. The drumming is really strong and brilliant and the guitar solo ending is absolutely staggering. The song really comes across much better, so well done to Empire of the Sun and to the sound crew at the BBC! The dancer's routine to the track is really great! what a spectacle!! This band are producing top quality modern music in these times and I'm convinced that it will stand the test of time and become classic, songs like We are the People and Alive are classic anthemic hits. Keep them coming lads, great music!!!

[@ronnietoots6797]

I just discovered a new song today which may go back to back very well with "High And Low." People may want to check out "If I Was" by Midge Ure. Midge Ure was also the lead singer for Ultravox who released some very good songs like "Dancing With Tears In Your Eyes", "White China" and "A Friend I Call Desire."
