The 1975 - Robbers (Reading Festival 2023)

[@ebrahel9963]

Best performance of robbers ever, not just perfect delivery but very much felt

[@LeeRow19]

I was right at the front for this and the emotion and atmosphere was unbelievable

[@futurenytro1850]

​@youdude190288 yeah I was also near the front and it was very moving and powerful tbh

It was very feel

I might have to agree. Matty on top form 🤍

[@rizkyfigo7906]

naw glastonbury 2014 was better

[@osl2329]

I listened to this from my house just north of the university. Sat in my garden, wished I was there, and never heard such a roar from a crowd when it finished. 6km away and I felt that hit.

[@owenevans5327]

We could hear it in Wokingham, I used to sit in my godparents garden in Emmer Green watching and listening when I was a kid

[@stefaniverson2739]

This is a masterclass in live performances and audio engineering. Props to the band (of course) but major props as well to whoever mixed this.

[@MrEL91N]

One of my favourite things about the live performances of Robbers is how the comments are always saying it's the best performance of robbers ever and I hope that never stops.

[@DD-qz8jq]

I hope they know how much this song means to so many people 🖤

[@walshknwsbest]

Matty gets slated so bad online you would think everyone hates him. Yet the band turn up at a festival and their the highlight of everyone’s weekend. Kings

[@Carlbert]

I know, right?

[@georgeramsden3219]

I've had it on literal repeat daily for 5 years, gets better every time

[@leamarie6039]

Same. I think it made me emotional hearing and listening to it as it brought back good ol’ memories in 2018

[@gingercate11]

Chills... Literally. Memories, old times but the same old melancholy in listening to this song, trying to hide the same old pain...that's what Matt delivers with this performance. Great job, welcome back

[@momofeandk]

October 2024 and I love watching the audience at 2:56 and my head is bobbing at the same time! I must watch this 5 x a day…

[@DiegoAlvarez-bc2zd]

It's amazing. They really are the band that defines a generation, I cannot hold tears when I hear'em and remember my old days.

[@Robis2349]

probably the best band of this generation or the 2000's thus far.

[@Homer255]

@@Robis2349they’re a good band but to say they’re the best band since the 2000’s is just ridiculous. There’s much better bands out there.

[@DelScully]

Matty had to go and ruin it with that T Swift bs tho.. Now all they get is hate which is sad because their latest album is their best imo and it wont get any awards or anything due to all the latest controversy.

[@Robis2349]

@@Homer255 well true, I should have been more specific, perhaps it's fair to say they are the best in the pop/rock space they are in.. I mean, if one if comparing them to, Maroon 5 for example, etc.. If comparing to other bands, it likely is not a fair comparison. Maybe I'm wrong? Not sure, if I am , please correct me

[@walshknwsbest]

The fact they keep getting better is a testament to how good they are. The fact matty is continuously at the end of a cancel attempt every other month is a testament to how good they are ❤️

I first saw the band for work without knowing any of their songs. This song enchanted me from the first time I heard it. The passion the band and crowd felt for it is very special and something I've only experienced a couple other times at live shows. This is a 21st century anthem to rival any.

I really appreciated that you started out with music from Sigur Ros! I am a diehard fan of Sigur Ros and can’t believe how underrated it remains. I also wanted to tell you how beautifully you executed this dance. I was especially struck by the blindfold at the beginning. I have a history of severe sexual trauma. At one point I was blindfolded during the abuse. It was terrifying and humiliating. This dance hit home for me.
