Empire Of The Sun - High & Low - Later… with Jools Holland - BBC Two

[@epicscenes4u]

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

[@patrickclancy2119]

That guitar solo... unreal

[@RLstavista]

I had no idea he played guitar until like 10 minutes ago because none of the their MVs (at least the ones ived watch) have them playing any instruments at all haha

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

[@jeremysears4263]

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

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

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 !!

[@IAMTHELORE69]

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!!!!

[@kuripivt]

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 :)

[@TheAMVDJ]

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

[@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.

[@antoniocarrasco4137]

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

[@edkeaney4571]

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! 👏

[@ranozziinlove]

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

[@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... 💝🙏🌹🥰🦋😘

Oct 22 and this song is still soooo good.....

[@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.

[@65raven]

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

[@MJ.71]

Such a fantastic song, and the dancers are absolutely phenomenal

[@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.

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.

[@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!!!

[@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.
