[@sammavacaist]

Paul Simonon is the most perfect bass player he could have picked for Gorillaz.

[@cracktober780]

And with Mick there too, I love the mini Clash reunion

[@richardgphilhower3987]

For real these songs are right in Paul’s wheelhouse.

[@Dean0017]

I love it that he has members of The Clash playing with him.

[@gagageiro]

god i didnt knew that that is awesome!

[@iamhereblossom1588]

Mick Jones and Paul Simonon are absolutely awesome. The only band that matters.

[@dildonius]

Yeah, Paul Simmonon (The Clash's bassist) & Mick Jones (The Clash's guitarist) performed bass guitar & lead guitar respectively on the song _Plastic Beach_ for the Gorillaz album _Plastic Beach_ and then officially joined the IRL version of the band for their _Escape to Plastic Beach_ world tour to promote the album. Damon was probably giddy as all hell. Jamie too. Well, no actually. Jamie was quite upset during the Plastic Beach era of Gorillaz and it nearly caused the project to be disbanded forever. Fortunately he and Damon kissed and made up in 2016 and literally the next day, they got to work creating _Humanz._

I was lucky enough to see this show, and get Mick and paul's signiture from the Clash band

[@pandaaghost]

So many hating on the crowd. You can see they enjoy it, just because they aren't moshing or jumping around doesn't mean you dont enjoy it. In a situation like that its annoying to have people jumping around infront of you while trying to listen to music.

[@aelita647]

exactly

[@rubbish9120]

I’ve been to a concert, and they aren’t in to it near as much as they should be

[@dildonius]

@@rubbish9120 Wtf, people are literally singing along passionately to _Kids with Guns_ with Damon. Plus this isn't a Gorillaz concert, it's a taping of _Letterman._ Not everyone in the audience is going to be a Gorillaz superfan ffs!

[@jessica5497]

@@rubbish9120 in America? Because concerts in America often sucks... festivals even more

[@dildonius]

I just realized too the absurdity in claiming this audience is "dead" not only because you can't exactly see visual enjoyment in a talk show audience, and because the structure of the set with those tightly packed seats there's no room to do much dancing at all, and because talk show audiences are always totally random and often comprised of tourists most of whom got in for free and thus could very well have no clue who the guest band is or be that into it....even putting all that aside, the main reason it's absolutely ridiculous to bitch about this crowd being """dead""" ffs...... is because FUCKING HELLO, DID YOU HAPPEN TO MISS THE PART WHERE *LITERALLY SEVERAL ROWS OF AUDIENCE MEMBERS RUSHED THE STAGE AT DURING THE CLIMAX OF **_CLINT EASTWOOD,_** TO THE POINT WHERE DAMON STRAIGHT-UP DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO GET BACK TO THE MIC STAND, RE-MIC SAID STAND, AND PERFORM THE CLOSING MELODICA SOLO AS HE WAS SUPPOSED TO - MEANING HE PICKED UP THE MELODICA JUST BEFORE THE SONG BEGAN, PLAYED A 2-SECOND LITTLE RIFFY-RIFF WIFF IT JUST BEFORE THE FURST VURSE, THEN PROCEEDED TO HOLD IT IN HIS HAND FOR THE ENTIRE REST OF THE SONG, ANTICIPATING THE POINT WHERE HE'D GET THROUGH THE LAST OF THE LYRICS AND WOULD NEED TO PUT THE MIC BACK ON THE STAND AND PLAY THE SONG OUT VIA THAT ABSOLUTELY LUBBERLY MELODICA SOLO THAT THE SONG LITERALLY DERIVES ITS NAME FROM....AND THEN SUDDEN THE FIRST LIKE 3, 4, OR 5 ROWS OF THE AUDIENCE SUDDENLY SWARMED HIM, THE BAND, AND THE STAGE TO THE POINT WHERE HE NO LONGER COULD ACCESS THE MIC STAND TO PUT THE MIC BACK ON IT, AND EVEN IF HE **_DID_** MANAGE TO DO IT, HE **_STILL_** DIDNT HAVE THE NECESSARY ELBOW ROOM TO PERFORM A MELODICA SOLO PROPERLY ANYWAY!* This is not something a "dead crowd" does.

[@bapprogers1738]

Reason to them not moving like other concerts it's because, this is inside a studio, on Letterman, they need them to keep most quiet so they can record the audio for streaming and videos like this. If they went insane, audio would sounding like shredding a pineapple using a pc speaker.

[@dildonius]

And all the seats don't exactly accommodate for movement very well. Plus, its not like everyone was a Gorillaz superfan who came just to see them perform.

[@katiegoodall5347]

What is a Gorillaz sound?

[@Carl-im9gh]

lots of band memberes, damon, mick jones, paul siminon (the clash) and all the guests, de la soul and so on.

[@philmeling7281]

Perfect opening song for any concert in the US

[@dildonius]

Actually, I think the fact that Gorillaz seems to always open with _M1A1_ is absolutely perfect. Nothing gets a crowd fired up better than that opening bit with the "HELLOOOO! IS ANYONE THERE?!" as the bassline & drums slowly build up to this huge crescendo before the beat drops and they start jamming. It's perfect, gets the crowd nice and engaged right off the bat. And the fact that they often follow it up with a super popular song is smart too, gives the crowd something they wanna hear and from there they're so hyped up that you've got em in the palm of your hand. I swear to god Damon Albarn is a musical genius. He just GETS every aspect of it. Both in and out of the recording studio, on and off stage.

[@hernanzenteno9760]

[@dildonius]

What? It's a venue packed with seats designed for sitting, not standing and dancing. There's not exactly a lot of room to move around. And yet every single person I see on camera is bobbing their head or swaying their body, the people up front are even passionately singing along to _Kids with Guns_ with Damon. People always gotta talk shit...

[@cristian4953]

the best show ever

[@TiagoDeckerMedeiros]

Saddest video. A great reminder that, despite all these great people are still wandering around, this thing is NEVER going to happen again.

[@therealjerryseinfeld4321]

If you're talking about the band not getting back to together again, they're probably gonna do something in the future. Damon had a falling out with Jamie, but they're getting back, and they both said that they'll probably do another gorillaz album. Damon even said he's got some good material :) If you're talking about them going on letterman again, they might if they go on another world tour to support their next album.

[@TiagoDeckerMedeiros]

Noah Clarke Well, they might work on Gorillaz songs again, but I doubt there's going to happen another tour as big and gourgeous like this one.
