"Hard to Explain & Ize of the World & Reptilia" The Strokes@Barclays Brooklyn, NY 12/31/19

[@JoeFing_r]

I want to thank to the guy who didnt enjoy this concert to record this videos for us

[@GioBreadnWater]

Shouts out to Jim Powers....you a real one!

[@mun-dee3271]

He is the MAN

[@FvckError]

jim powers such a legend

[@Ultima2876]

He probably enjoyed it just as much, tbh.

[@diegovera4962]

ize of the world, it's easily one of the best songs of these guys, but it's very, very, underrated, like most First Impressions Of Earth songs

[@schizoposting]

The more you listen to their less popular albums, the more you realize how many gems have been swept under the rug. Ize of the World, On the Other Side, Life is Simple in the Moonlight, Happy Ending, Call it Fate Call it Karma, etc

[@diegovera4962]

@@schizoposting man, you were totally right, in fact, the same thing happened to me; FIOE was the last album I listened to with detention, and I found incredible musical maturity

[@johnny2shoes90]

Spot on! Totally agree bro 👍

[@williamgibson5191]

I love so much of this album. Yea def a couple not their best-but the good ones goddamn

[@recleds]

I first thought fioe was not that good but then it just caught in my mind just like Ize of the world

[@hanz.moleman]

"You guys ready for these roaring 2020's?!" I don't think we were, Julian.

Being a member of the strokes must be a big meme. “Uh we’re just going to play the song normally and hope Julian catches up” Lol

[@hippoplatypus8149]

wait when do they say that? lol

[@nabilaadeliaputri2893]

Andrew Cable i think its a joke because julian is known for forgetting his own lyrics and making up random lyrics on stage haha

[@ModernPlumbingFan]

BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CLASSIC

[@imbumla]

he just does a fuck it im out shout at 2:56 lol

[@EternalEmber777]

These 3 songs are so powerful. Thank god for this band. Seriously. Rock may die someday, but these guy have made a hell of a gravestone

[@mauricioprado3011]

Rock will never die!!!!!! lml

[@himynameiscorey]

Rock will never die

[@kaaft1262]

Hard To Explain has such a vibe to it... It sounds nostalgic, happy and is representative of The Strokes as a band, at least of its first albums, i think i would cry hearing this live. It's so hard to explain

[@CristhianFlo]

I don’t see it that way

[@Marveats]

i don’t cry often but i am fully convinced i’d be in tears after attending a concert by The Strokes

[@punkeroc]

My first time seeing them I was totally in tears.

[@simonypictures]

you're very right

[@gramtamtam]

Yeh, you Will, but with smile 🤞

[@SexParties]

I took acid for this very same concert. I was in tears by 11:50pm. Cried for three hours when I got home. These guys are phenomenal. No doubt about it.

[@Harrisonkyle31]

I was at this show and did cry during ize of the world lol

[@eduardotrejo6981]

Albert looks so good in yellow

[@4yette694]

Albert looks so good

[@IanEckie]

Julian warning us about the 20's is looking super prophetic right about now lmao

[@marcorrre]

Albert the man in the yellow suit Hammond Jr stylishly shredding 🤘

[@lalunacr6023]

👌🏼

[@ians3801]

I travelled from NS, Canada to NYC the day of this show on a whim using money from my deceased mother's house sale for the plane tickets, hotel, and concert tickets. About halfway through the first verse of this performance I was in full tears. I was 27 at the time of this show and some of my most sappy, vulnerable, gooey memories of growing up are to The Strokes' first album and this song. I would have spent every penny from the sale of the house to see the Strokes play this one song live. Life is short guys. You gotta grab onto what gives it purpose to you and never let go. Don't hesitate, believe.

[@fierguy1]

Well said

[@nicolelee62]

I'm so happy you got some of Albert's Ize solo... I love watching nick and Albert solos more than anything

[@gab0977]

The same here.

[@darkdoggo8181]

Ize of the world was the first solo I learnt, to this day, it’s one of the first things I play every time I pick a guitar up

[@gatops19]

Same

[@darkdoggo8181]

Solo brothers

[@TheMijoAaron]

Dark Doggo that solo is so simple yet smooth as hell. Like hella smooth. Especially the ending part when youre up the neck on the high e and b string. You know which part lol

Ok just watching this now, 5:13 he legit is an all knowing god. He knew some shit was gonna go down in 2020. “It’s the invisible war my friends” - Julian Casablancas

[@adarshtiwari6374]

Lol he has been saying that for quite a while now. I dont think it means what you think it means.

[@vroken6]

Drunk is a little Julian

[@rosshauler7688]

He don’t drink anymore

[@MHA18S]

It's marijuana effect

[@culintedoi]

High is a bit julian

[@Jayjay-tb6yo]

I went to my first Strokes concert back in 2003. I haven’t seen them in years because I moved out of the country. And I’m sad I missed this one seeing as how I was finally back in NYC in 2019. BUT MAN they have not changed like at all! This is awesome.

[@maude_g0n3]

Wow, hearing this performance really made me realize how much I missed The Strokes. Cant wait for the come back.

[@hippoplatypus8149]

2:55 is one of the greatest moments in music history

[@dylsterpaul6002]

Fucking indeed.

[@piriliririro]

[@xoPrettyOddox]

this showed up in my recommendations and i still can't believe i was in the 2nd damn row here 😭😭 the coronavirus no-concert depression is too real

[@Skitter_smack]

Such a great show. So glad we were there. I'll never forget it. Shaky Knees next!

[@KennyLamar2]

i'm so mad i didn't go i didn't know about it! i was at governors ball and the strokes got canceled right before they were about to come on :(

[@tattooguy413]

Get a teleprompter Jules 😂

[@guapanmessi4470]

I’m actually soo damn sad and regretful that I didn’t get to go to this concert. And the fact that they had Mac Demarco there too makes me even sadder 🥺😢😔

[@loganp4268]

If I knew 2020 was going to be like this I would’ve taken the hit and travelled to New York on NYE for just this show. I was considering it but I deemed it too unrealistic at the time

[@elijahboykins2037]

Julian seems to be trying a little harder. Praise Darwin.

[@nicholastozier9356]

The end of the first verse, and beginning of the second verse, in Hard to Explain completely disagrees with you. lol
