Franz Ferdinand Take Me Out Live Jools Holland 2003

[@joewilliams3452]

I vividly remember this being on. I’d seen them live before and taped this performance on VHS. It was a few months before the album and in the pre KZbin days this was one of the few ways to hear new tunes and videos. Good times.

What a fucking song

[@mistycara]

Classic! Love my boys, they have come a long long way since then.

2:31 dat mistake

[@hehehe7303]

Just goes to show that you can fluff your way through a song and still come up smelling of roses, once you give it balls 😉

[@SeanStewart88]

therotiv4 also the bassist messes up at 1:30

[@eric690]

Yeah, safe to say this performance was not the bassist at his best. This song doesn’t leave room to get away with mistakes - the bass plays a pretty prominent role in the song. I’m sure he’s redeemed himself since then

[@sirwalldragon5367]

@@eric690 what's amazing is that they still made it sound like fire

[@ccfliege]

@@SeanStewart88 so playing bass for a band like this means you'll have to sacrifice either playing all the right notes or looking slick for all the ladies in the BBC jools holland studio.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

seeing this makes me wonder how many takes it took them to actually nail the groove in the studio ..or unless other people were brought in to play

[@kevinswift8654]

Pretty sure they did nail the groove here. It just doesn't sound the same without all the studio magic, and here they're playing all amped up because it's live. They're a rock band after all. I get whatcha mean but I don't think it was any technical flaw.

[@seancassidy674]

studio version was recorded live with no overdubs - this is just faster - live and first time on TV

[@TheChagGup]

@@seancassidy674 Alex's guitar was out of tune for the studio version because he was shredding so hard.

EYYYY

They just don't do them like this anymore, do they

[@ejvo1981]

[@ennui_cherub]

They should have done marquee moon instead

[@MrShakedown1972]

That bass was soooo out of tune or he just kept playing the wrong notes?! Ace tune this though

[@audiojihad]

by the time of this performance, bob had been playing bass about a year and a half. hah!

[@drapeblind]

great song, but these guys can't ever put together a good live take

[@vladimirmansilla8561]

It was one of their first tv appearances...

[@TheChagGup]

Lmao I think they did fucking great

[@rockymvvrcianu6846]

@@TheChagGup They did. I love the guitars in this

[@TheChagGup]

@@rockymvvrcianu6846 Yes, I love how raw they sound and how you can actually hear Nick's guitar and not just the main riff. The song was born from the melody that Nick plays, not the main riff that everyone knows. Fantastic song all around.

[@rockymvvrcianu6846]

@@TheChagGup I was thinking the same. I hear at least two riffs and their chords or whatever aren't heard in the album version. This is my favorite performance of the song though the album version is still good.
