every concert is unique , oh dear , lol . pink floyd's darkside of the moon lyrics , " And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear.

Absolutely love Damon. You can just see the appreciation and love he has for his art, and it absolutely radiates in his performances. He always looks like he's having so much fun, and his enthusiasm is always so wonderful omfg

[@leafswin27]

love seeing Paul Simminon playing live again. pure legend

[@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.

[@tripperdelaluna1]

Big Audio Dynamite

[@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._

[@holyflutterofgod]

31:09 That laugh made the whole show.

[@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.

[@dildonius]

God DAMN, _Up On Melancholy Hill_ ALWAYS plays SO MUCH better live than on the album. There's always so much more RAW EMOTION imbued into it, to the point where you're damn near about to start bawling when he sings "when you're close to meeeeee-heeeee-eeeee" in that way that he didn't sing it on the album version...

[@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]

@@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.

What??? Did you happen to miss the part where *SEVERAL ROWS OF AUDIENCE MEMBERS **_LITERALLY RUSHED THE STAGE RIGHT AT THE CLIMAX OF CLINT EASTWOOD_** FFS?!* I think it's rather obvious that the audience enjoyed the show. A lot. I've _NEVER_ seen a talk show audience do that before or since in my entire 27 years of existence.

[@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...

[@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.

[@cristian4953]

[@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]

[@Joia92]

Yes as a hardcore Gorillaz fan, I was so jealous and disappointed by the crowd, but I noticed ALMOST everybody in the crowd were moving and grooving. And majority probably downloaded, bought, or looked up the Gorillaz the next day, probably becoming fans. That's all that matters.

Was this on The David Letterman Show??And how often do these mini concerts happen after the show??

[@evankeal]

I had same question, but realize the amount of 'brought in` production this band requires, no one would have done this for a few songs, maybe Dave or a producer really wanted to see them live and agreed for a long set, pre normal TV taping. There cant be many better recoreded performances if at all due to the extended time and resources of a studio vs stage.

[@dildonius]

I think pretty much any time a band plays on a late nite show like this they do this. And then its edited down to a song or two.
