[@Lumpus_]

After all those years I keep coming back to this legendary performance. Unmatched.

[@perezcamachojoseabraham3498]

x2 bruh

[@PolochAngriff]

Nobody: Jack: “we are doing this double time”

[@Pagetskatesx]

the way he bounced his mic off the tom drum and caught it was just biblical

[@mariaaglq]

Why Foals doesn't play like this nowadays? :c

[@jacksontsukahara3798]

It felt like they were performing some sort of ritual in the beginning...

[@bravepart]

'Tis called the infuriating of the Roadies

[@DivvyDeluxe]

Jack don't give a shit. He's got extra sticks.

[@rodrigonavarro7629]

[@malthusanem]

I'm studying, and was falling asleep, I just realised I wrote about 50 x's on my textbook, without noticing

[@TeddyWaldon]

Un peu d'air sur la terre! Worst accent ever. Even if i'm french, i had to read the lyrics to know he sang in my language :D Instead of this, THAT'S A FUCKING GREAT SONG!!!

[@Faragnigskni]

[@imo2834]

no drugs were used in the intro of this song ...

[@exalted_kitharode]

Isaias Mogrovejo maybe not in the intro but before i bet were used

[@PolochAngriff]

Isaias Mogrovejo definitely have to snort something to play The French Open that fast

[@zooxel3755]

DID YOU SEE JACK FLIP THAT STICK. Oh my God that's incredible.

[@lative]

[@djsmithy]

[@MsLiooo]

Yannis is soooo high

[@JoseColombia11]

Fuck I love every Foals.

[@Faragnigskni]

whoever's seen this live, do you agree that this was the best song played? i thought it was the best of the night! fucking brilliant!

[@zthaniqks]

amazing intro, wish i could hear this alive

[@granjjaguar]

the trompet player has a beautiful band called Solid Gold Dragons.

[@anthoniozippo]

damn, yannis sounds like a dinosaur @ 2:55. Awesome.

[@shanks191292]

I love the way the trumpet guy is having a dance of his own too.

[@djsmithy]

I suppose i can! ;) Might take a while though.

[@jonasnr8]

wow mate thank you so much for mentioning the band TOE, I love it !

[@tehdarrenwan]

haha love the way jack has a spare drumstick lined up

[@SuperSaucy141]

oxford should be very proud

[@MeTaLMoNkEyLeYrOy]

Prelude shits on XXXXX dude, look up YYYYY too :)

[@spazabarri]

Yannis at 2:18 - 2:20 is a meerkat!!!!

[@ecliptal3492]

This has been their BEST Glastonbury show ever!

[@retroremo]

that's a bit mean, I mean we all different sizes but god it looks like a chore for her to be there. I mean waht's the point going to glastoif you're not going to enjoy any of it. I would have loved to her reaction to jay z's performance. anyway as foals are not playing any major festivals this year due to recording I'm going to see them next year at roskilde festival next year. That will be part of my end of year 11 scandanavian exam celebartion vacation.

[@alabasterr]

no drugs involved

[@exalted_kitharode]

alabasterr why do you think that?

[@conorhayward1385]

It's the guy from Jonquil on trumpet...!

[@chaaaaaaaaaa15]

8:00...que the epileptic seizure

[@garrybaboon]

Are you joking? math rock is rock music with complex time signatures....so more then your avrage 4/4. It has nothing to do with were your playing on the guitar, for good examples look up "hella" and "GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES!" safe

[@dtenorio1311]

Those 3 persons who dislike this vid can go whit snorlax at 0:50 and kiss her jaja Ö

[@bnmcfadden]

who is the blond dude with the trumpet? Name pls.

[@RumblePacked]

Hudson Scott. He has a solo career now and makes some mad music, definitely recommend it.

[@CJKilworth]

Yeh I see your point, but you're kinda straying to elitist math rock. I was mentioning bands which are like that (Edmund Fitzgerald) and bands which have those influences. I will check out those bands though (Y)

[@RickyDeePresents]

@TheZebsTV hey i checked out your channel and i have to say awesome french open cover guys!

[@anneonymechan]

Oh hey, wasn't that dude with the trumpet at 5:22 the same one with the (obviously lukewarm) beer in Red Sox Pugie live on later? So he actually works with the band...

[@CJKilworth]

@fintondean basically good music with individual notes usually played above the 12th fret. there can be chords too. Look up tubelord, meet me in st. louis, this town needs guns, colour and The Edmund Fitzgerald.

[@angelramirocontrerasgelvez5218]

the best band of the indi rock

[@diegobalaguer4726]

You're right being fat is not a good thing, but making fun of another person is not right, and it shouldn't be defended. It's called Bullying. Imagine how that person would feel if he sees that comment.

[@TokinBloke]

@djsmithy youtube compresses the shit out of audio... so a live recording already will sound like fuckin 10 kbps..

[@thekook33]

@HaroldFeldberg go to Media Converter and don't do the last step which tells u to play a game

[@CJKilworth]

@theshortcurlyguy no it's a travis bean. both his guitars now are travis beans, fecking amazing guitars...

[@CJKilworth]

haha same here!! I think foals will be palying at Reading, I mean, they are playing at T in the park and a few other festival, and there are about 5 other stages yet to be confirmed so they'll probably be on those.

[@djsmithy]

Update: I have fierce issues splitting the other parts up, they loose audio for some reason. Send me a pm if ye want a link.

[@blictretman]

lmao, jack is very fast for catching another stick ;)

[@dnlrmo]

the french open starts at 4:58

[@elenobln]

Daniel Osvaldo danke

[@Pagetskatesx]

[@willsollo8258]

[@CassiusFA]

Foals used to be a math rock band before this, so he probably is better.

[@MatthewNWilliams]

@wilmoz a wild condom appeared 6:55

[@CassiusFA]

Ithink the guy who does their trumpet is from metronomy

[@blocfoals]

erm, is it just me or did jack do magic towards the end of XXXXX?

[@Blaver]

[@Frenchkisssss]

[@abelinoramone]
