Massive Attack - Atlas Air (Live - Melt Festival 2010)

[@MassiveattackIe]

I definitely think the keyboard sounds and the whole extended climax elevate the live version over the album one.

[@pablowoods9886]

Why don't they ever play this live these days???

[@sanovelky5077]

Live version is TOP!!!

[@jean-sebastiengauthier4967]

Fell again on this AMAZING performance. Each time am left in tears, all shocked and confuse. Musical orgasm overload!!! Not only one of their best songs but clearly the best show ender ever. Maybe of all time, any band. Its traumatizingly perfect.

[@StudioScarecrow]

This is the single greatest keyboard riff of all time.

[@steelyman08]

Right with you! It's a killer song as a result. I wasn't a big fan of most of Heligoland, but this track is a monster.

[@arnsteinkjos1771]

Try JON LORD(Deep Purple)RAY MANZAREK(The Doors)

[@simonroper4713]

I don’t know if that’s true. As a contemporary yes but this is nothing in comparison to Bach organ recitals. This is just shock pop I comparison but I’m no traitor to MA, this is contemporary and timeless. I almost love my enemy listening to this, could almost forgive them.

[@StudioScarecrow]

@@simonroper4713 lol

[@simonroper4713]

@leave me alone It’s so true now isn’t it? I have more in common with the dissenters in America. Human rights are out the window now and I have no one to talk to if they come for you I can’t protest so when they come for me no one will hear a thing.

[@joekey4376]

Underrated song and album

[@green_wire]

I saw them 2008 in Berlin. This live version kicked so hard. The whole crowd was dancing wildly🤩 Massive Attack was, is and will ever be my favorite band of all time🫶❣️

[@nuformzdesign]

I saw Thievery Corporation open for Massive Attack in October 2010 at the Beacon Theater on Broadway. Yeah, that's one that I'll never forget.

[@peterschnell2849]

one of the best memories of my life…it was absolutely crazy. ❤️

[@Luca.Rubinato]

I saw them playing six times in my life, and they never disappointed. One of best live acts out there.

[@ellalicor8510]

This live version is so epic…and 3D getting his groove on is the best thing❤️‍🔥🥰

[@simonpallister842]

I come for the keyboard riff, I stay for the bass line! Amazing version!

[@AndrewBooker-o8c]

What

[@AndrewBooker-o8c]

Just bass

[@Øbsidianxz]

The climax of this song is just awesome. Keyboard god

[@harrow2355]

The energy Massive Attack emits at these live gigs is amazing,brilliant.

[@corack252]

There's nothing quite like seeing Massive Attack live. Been 3 and a half years since I last saw them; NEED to see them again in the near future!

[@harrow2355]

This why they are my favourite band,play! play! Massive Attack.

[@leomcnamee4198]

Best played loud...no, LOUD... SO LOUD you hurt. Best drumming (lock step) and synth lead ever... Massive Attack produces the best of our version of R'n'R. Rock on...

[@kevinmay8419]

Love the way Banksy grooves 🙌🏼

[@TSPH1992]

Mind blowing :) How to take a song from one of your albums and make it even better during a live performance in +- 11 minutes

[@MrIgorek13]

Check live in Moscow you will be collapsed 😁

[@acjazz01]

Personally I thought the synths volume low.

[@Trixtah]

Definitely the best version. Just amazing live. I never rip music off KZbin, but this track... ahem.

[@richardkoehler5841]

TrixM Well Said. the Best. Massive Music. But Subtle. Naja Rocks.

[@victorivanov7385]

Great professionals and magicians, whose music takes us to the land of dreams! Listening to this song, I got incomparable pleasure from the professionalism of the artists.

[@DeadwingDork]

This song just exudes coolness. Very influential to me and, I hope, others.

[@Trixtah]

Back again. Hard to believe this was a decade ago, but in a way it feels much longer. Saw them during this tour - best concert ever. Smaller indoor venue, great sound, I even flew to another country the next weekend to take it in again. Alas, that venue was nowhere near as good, but the music was still great.

[@HqhighredheadDeHH]

Say no more. It`s brilliant.

[@carlosguimaraes1196]

Atlas air, my fav song ever. I want this music in my funeral.

[@Biermeisterruff]

Wow. Just discovering this live version. Mesmerising 😍

[@exitmusic92]

Dancing this whole song is so liberating!!

[@jacho80]

So happy I saw this same show in Bogotá, Colombia almost 10 years ago. It was worth every damn second.

[@Jason-oo4jg]

Tickles the Soul....

[@andudumitrescu9001]

It’s a different version, definitely. I love the live forward step. Not to many have the guts to do it even better than the studio rec

[@thriversoffset]

muse does all songs better than studio, faithless did, chems do. MA does - I think it's totally dependent on band. band that does it is much is more dedicated to create great music as well.

[@p.dykmans9846]

So much better than the cd version. Mezmerizing from start to finish. At the end you wonder why they wouldn't just build it all up again.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Yet there wouldn't have been this version without the original one, so why compare. I suppose you could say live version improves or elevates the original...

[@benkelly7182]

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849I actually think it’s only moderately better. The CD version is badass

Really Amazing The perfect music. Sublime Pure Art

[@Onmysheet]

I'm glad the way Naja kept his vocal and music style from 100th Window. He sings much better this way.

[@alejandroWar23]

Naja doesnt sing lmao, he just does a throaty whisper thing

[@Onmysheet]

@@alejandroWar23 Yeah and does rap style too. lol

[@khaledbouhadda3065]

The keyboard solo is epic Thanks for making this 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@andrewedwards8238]

Magnificent, thanks

[@rhatcher010]

I want to see Massive Attack live so badly. I know they've got a tour coming up but I can't afford airfare across the pond right now.

[@steventownsend1344]

Seen them live in hyde park london quite few years ago was amazing great band live

[@Biermeisterruff]

Epic. Second part is mesmerizing ❤️

Delivered in the most epic way.

何度聞いても、心の襞をかき回すベストサウンド。

[@captainbart]

Atlas Air has been flying cargo for years.......I hope this is on the pilots playlist...

[@orderinchaos]

Indeed. Same happened with Group Four on the Mezzanine album - once you've heard the live version, the studio version just doesn't cut it any more. I've actually burnt a version of that album for playing in the car with the Royal Albert Hall version.

[@matiusclicarelli700]

Dude I heard that. I'm so looking for that now. That's why I'm here. At least I found this. 🎉

[@orderinchaos]

​@matiusclicarelli700 it isn't on a video on its own, but if you look up the 1998 Royal Albert Hall performance it's the last track performed - see the first comment for an index to the starting time code.

[@SubzerOcaña]

Una banda de dioses

[@juancarlosgomezrodriguez7960]

Impresionante las mezclas de sonidos en aumento conforme avanza la canción. Versión en directo excelente.

[@massi2689]

Gli italiani non sanno apprezzare la buona musica come questa.

[@MassiveattackIe]

Yes, they really should, but I have my doubts it will ever happen. In the meantime though, I am in process of uploading several full sets of live recordings of Massive Attack to my Soundcloud profile. These recordings are lossless and sourced from radio/soundboard broadcasts, so they are the best possible audio quality available. You can find the link to my Soundcloud profile by visiting my KZbin channel and clicking the little Soundcloud link up in the channel header.

[@olivierolek]

one of the best in this world! trip of a mind...

Love this band seen them live in hyde park was amazing

You are the best, great show! Спасибо 😎

[@Laurent-yl9co]

I had the chace to see them at the Olympia in Paris during this tour.... amazing band in a very small venue. Almost a private concert. Great moment. I Also saw them in Athens and Brussels for the Mezzanine tour...

Pavel Buga is the same guy.

[@fiolara4812]

Yep sure is -!!

I think it's Les from the Vic Reeves early shows - he who was afraid of cress. Go Les!

[@mircof.6531]

powerfull , i love it, these guys knows what music really are - exept me under the shower :)

[@Grubbo]

for the most part! however, whereas I think Group Four can still take you on a high on the album, Atlas Air is just woefully under-represented on Heligoland. Maybe they just ran out of time. However you explain it, the live versions are mindblowing.
