Nothing But Thieves - Can You Afford to Be An Individual? Live @ O2 Academy Birmingham 4th October 2021

[@marcusbush203]

This is the ONLY time they did this song on the UK tour. This video is sacred and you have witnessed history my friend.

[@josie6030]

woah! that's so cool i had no idea!

[@ictheworld8974]

I SWEAR they better sing this in America

@@ictheworld8974 they didn't in Switzerland🥲

[@thejericho]

probably because it's not easy to sing

[@felixschach9127]

I wish they would play this live more often...

[@AyanelDv]

Vocals are crucial here and it’s obvious how difficult the song is to sing, probably they dont want to break the magic

[@sara-fish]

conor quickly going for the water at the end 😭💀 this is just great

[@marcusbush203]

CANT BELIEVE THEY PLAYED THIS ONE I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS IN NOTTINGHAM!! Must have been incredible

[@polyeknewton]

1:51 That sound blast

[@GeorgeDemin]

Thank you so much for recording this! The heaviest track off “Moral Panic”, I think it as of junior brother of “I’m Not Made By Design”

[@josie6030]

no worries!! ♡ yess true i love it!

[@heidibaltom8138]

WOW that is such a difficult song not only is it ALOT of words but it just gets higher and higher and higher. I get why they havnt played it since. I think the only way they could realistically play it is at the end of a set near the end of a tour as his voice might not hold out.

[@flicksoflight]

Props to keeping the camera mostly straight I would have been shit during this song especially. Thanks for sharing this incredible experience!!! FOMO!

[@josie6030]

no worries!! :) will admit it was v difficult with the mix of being excited as fuck to hear it live, crowd surfers, and generally just being in the pit, but i was determined hahaa

[@PabloDuckman]

I really wish they bring back this song and Im not made by design for the Welcome to the DCC 2024 Tour, 2 of my favorite songs from them

[@lynnebryan6443]

It’s a tough song to do live on so many levels. Technically & emotionally I don’t know if Joe really knew what he did here.and I’m not dissing Joe here. He knew the power of the song lyrically. Hats off to the band for having the guts to put this out there cos ffs someone had to.

[@josie6030]

can’t believe it’s been 2 years already!😭november better come sooon

[@angelicaambrizz]

So jealous you guys got to hear this live sooo good!!

[@sowa707]

Damn it Conor! I just wish I could see them live for once in my whole fucking life(and they play this and "excuse me" that day🙄) Thank you for uploading this😭

[@josie6030]

one day i’m sure!! no problem! ♡

I love this song. Thanks for recording it.

[@josie6030]

it is such a good song - no worries!! :)

[@ansquierdo]

Increíble jaja me he matado buscando una sola presentación de este tema Live !!

[@hagfromhell9557]

This is my favourite song from the album ❤

[@sylvie1035]

it's my dream to hear this live, what a shame they didn't play it in Poland

[@andersonmarcalsateles8797]

No final ele ta certo de poupar a voz!

[@cintiamln]

What does Price do at the end of the song? Did he stick a chewing gum on the microphone and then pick it up again to chew? 😅

[@naveisawesome4500]

It's a shame Connor struggles so much with the vocals at the end, but understandable

[@marcusbush203]

Eh I dunno if he struggles or if he makes a conscious decision to not go quite as hard / high as he does in the recording (where he’s basically shouting) so to save his voice. Still sounds good imo

[@mrsjones7706]

Maybe it's a bit of both .. This song is the hardest one to sing, but my guessing is he just really wanted to do this one .. Hopefully, at the end of the tour, he will still have a voice. Am waiting patiently (but to be honest, I'm freaking losing it watching these vids!!!!) for the gig in Amsterdam, in April 2022 ... So cool for you to have been 'part' of this performance!

[@bandit4690]

I'm quite sure they won't play it again. They haven't since this one. Conor cannot go a full tour screaming this, and you can see it here. And it's totally understandable, it's a really difficult song to replicate live, and he shouldn't damage his voice

[@mothedbaby1962]

It's the Roy Khan situation - lots of classically trained vocalists will destroy their voices going hard, looking after an Ollie Sykes voice and a Connor Mason voice are very different (and Ollie still blew his voice!) and the cross over is sooo dangerous, I'm pretty sure they'll rarely if ever do Ce n'est Rien live for the same reasons

[@bandit4690]

@@mothedbaby1962 agree, and I was actually questioning when Conor said he has a way of singing Individual without pain but maybe it didn't work as he thought. As long as he doesn't hurt himself!

[@sarahjudith8433]

Its my dream to see this live one day! But I read they basically never play it bc it strains Conors vocals too much..

[@qstarzband3455]

Sound like Korn... in minimal tunes

[@djgardd]

It's a lot of words to sing. I can see why its not done live. It would be awesome to see though

[@dafne3225]

I don't get why they don't add this to the setlist, in my opinion, this song sounds soooo much better live than unperson, theres so much more energy from them and the crowd, it sounds so much easier for him to hit the notes live (don't get me wrong, i love unperson but i don't enjoy it that much live) 😢

[@josie6030]

it’s probably just cause of how hard it is for conor to sing, its quite a challenging song to perform live i think

[@dafne3225]

@@josie6030 yeah propably, but i feel like songs like phobia and unperson are even harder to sing live, i just think catbai is an amazing song and deserves to be played a few more times, this performance was beyong amazing 😔

[@josie6030]

@@dafne3225 truetrue, maybe cause of the key going up and up its more of a strain to sing? not sure, but it defo deserves to be heard live more!
