[@DazzaBo]

Everytime I watch a live set on youtube for the first time I hope someone in the comments has timestamped all the tracks and every time someone has. Legend. Cheers mate

[@jozefaubainmarie5410]

Multiple times!

[@ThisIsTheInternet]

I See Seaweed is absolutely insane live. What a song.

[@ThisIsTheInternet]

One of the greatest living lyricists. Liddiard is nearly unparalleled

[@controloz3310]

You are 100% correct. Love you for that comment. I’ve gone out of my way for years to watch him play. He never disappoints.

[@kanegreenhatch1008]

Yup , Anna was a beauty in her youth

[@docmcbungas3303]

Absolutely agree

[@robkirchhof133]

please tell me who else is in the conversation. Paul Kelly?! Bah!

[@robkirchhof133]

​​@@kanegreenhatch1008i wanna like your comment thrice

[@robkirchhof133]

this is the kind of music a big brother needs to make his little brother listen to

[@robkirchhof133]

great point, Rob

[@sociopathicbanana430]

Quite true, Rob

[@gorgart6984]

Definitely agree, Rob

[@youniverse-]

How can I convince my big brother to dig them? Cannot compute.

[@maysonberger8537]

so i did the right thing

[@everythingiscoolio]

Listened to these guys pretty much 24/7 while I was committed to the ward. Insane sounds. Glad to be able to enjoy this.

[@docmcbungas3303]

That sounds like a fuckin wild experience

[@Haikoon]

right now the coolest, most touching & dangerous rocknroll band on the planet

[@pabloochando9806]

Amen!!!

[@cirquedude123]

Amen!

[@controloz3310]

RIP which hopefully means rock in everywhere

[@pbabiesinspace6112]

I like Tropical Fuck Storm better.. but the Drones were definitely great. Sad it seems like good audio art is dying. Completely capitalized at this day and age. I've even started doing visual art because I am so disgusted by the way of things. And the first incarnation of my band started when I was 12...28 years ago. Gave my life to music. Music has sold itself out. My visual art is cool though and I have recorded over 200 songs...I put it on shuffle and it is my own personal radio station where I hand crafted every song to my liking. Sure it took 1000s of hours. Totally worth it. And now my music studio is 'The Zoo.' If someone breaks into my house and turns on a like...they will scream and run away in fear.

[@SamMarine]

the drones are the greatest band i've ever seen in my life. PLEASE COME BACK TO THE STATES

[@buckleygeneration]

To Think That I Once Loved you is seriously one of the best songs of the decade.

[@buckleygeneration]

Oh, so is Taman Shud, obviously.

[@sleepcyclesgaming]

Then They Came For Me is a masterpiece

[@jozefaubainmarie5410]

Wooooow this so amazing

[@sjmoetsie547]

Heeeeej enne!?!

[@jozefaubainmarie5410]

@@sjmoetsie547 sjotel antenne!

[@rudefeline6802]

Taman Shud is so bad ass live

[@davidsaunders998]

As much as I love TFS, I hope to hear these songs live one day. I missed out regretfully on the drones.

[@nicolasbouchard454]

same

[@sliemm1]

Seen them 3 times over their career, and every gig has been such an assault on the senses I simply can't compare it to any other sonic experience.

[@DefThrone]

Someone doesn't like what they're saying. Bots have been bombarding their videos with dislikes and it's a recent affair.

[@jozefaubainmarie5410]

What happened?

[@benbenpotato]

Wack

[@odrithingamajig]

Late as fuck for me to say but as far as I know it stemmed from Liddiard's comments about Andrew Bolt in Taman Shud - Bolt got pissed and cried about 'drones bad' in an article, and presumably a lot of people decided the optimal course of action was to express their disgrace by clicking the dislike button on a bunch of TFS records videos.

[@Majigitajog]

@@odrithingamajig Close, but Bolt himself sent the bots. The number was disproportionate, on this and anything Liddiard related. New TFS record circa 2021 seems to have totally, and finally been off a political radar. Seems TFS are more content on leaving the planet rather than critiquing their "country"

[@TheDummbob]

and then they came for me... it's a monumental song, something real, something that makes me feel a lot everytime i listen to it. thank you :)

[@dyode1]

To Think That I Once Missed This Gig... bugger. Awesome. Epic.

[@happygoloopyrocks]

I hear you, Rainbow Machine hiding between Boredome and Then They Came for Me.....

[@eltrazosonoro]

I hear "Private Execution" everyday, i promise.

[@stanimosity]

one of the greatest yet most unwitnessed acts of our time. Liddiard (from where i sit) has yet to do wrong sonically, lyrically et all and constantly is surrounded by the right people to get the job done.

[@FooBarr1]

there are fans who are still recovering from this concert. what an amazing show

[@Noddles404]

best god damn band ever

[@TheDylbert]

I would LOVE a video like this for a Tropical Fuck Storm performance.

[@isaybuckedy]

The Drones still give me the same chills as as when I first heard Here Comes The Lies.

[@TheExileonmainstreet]

I wonder what Gareth does in order not to lose his voice after every show. This level of energy is insane to me and kinda wearying just to watch.

[@Majigitajog]

I reckon I've watched this 50 times

[@danieltripp2578]

seen 'em twice - never got to see live "I Am The Supercargo" - one of my favourites!.... best Aussie band ever....

[@LucasBrown413]

I have been waiting for a video like this for so long, thank you guys for this.

[@joeblogsaus]

Amazing. Great to see how these latest tracks sit seamlessly alongside older tracks in the live context.

[@kmdionis]

Life just got better after hearing this!

[@bartlettandbosc]

Those dislikes are hilarious. Sign of the times. This is fucking amazing.

[@madmitten5]

Goddammit why weren't these guys the biggest band in the world!?!?!?

[@igavehimadollar3354]

Outstanding young Australians

[@jorgemartinez42069]

Holy shit I love you guys. I'm so late to the party and only discovered you because I got into Tropical Fuck Storm which has become my favorite band of the last two decades. I can't believe I only discovered The Drones after you all went on hiatus. I hope to see you in the future! In the meantime, I can't wait to see TFS this October. I'll be the happy drunk dude with his tits out singing every word to "You Let My Tyres Down."

[@MammaApa]

I was just about to write almost the same comment.

[@gabrielmarcal4236]

OMG I'm so happy that it exists!!!

[@Minerva_Devi]

You guys are so ridiculously great! If Bowie hadn't released Black Star and if Radiohead hadn't decided to break their 5 year silence last year, there's no doubt in my mind that Feeling Kind of Free would be my favourite record of the decade so far!

[@samludgin5363]

ah yes. my trifecta of excellent lyricism: tom waits, shane macgowan, and gareth liddiard. LEGENDS!!!!

[@cwrigh13]

This cured my headache.

[@Sathias_]

41:15 I See Seaweed is legit one of the greatest Australian tracks of all time

[@PuddleBurger]

Love how during the song boredom they zoom in on the guy ironically wearing the Bazinga t-shirt. Amazing performance. Sound is better than a lot of stuff from festivals with huge famous sound guys.

[@TheManwithafan]

This is one of the greatest things put to film and it's not known enough

[@Galfadez]

The version of seaweed on here could outlast most religions

[@michaelmaterne]

@@Galfadez Attractive.

[@WOKEBOGAN-bv7mx]

A rare glimpse into a time forgotten

[@drumeversions]

Love the Feelin´Kinda Free album and the way they play it live makes me love this band even more. All the great arrangements are there with twice the energy!. Come to Spain!!!!

[@Dowdhead]

I come back to this vid semi-often.because it's FUCKING FIRE SHIT. Liddiard is a beast in anything he does, and this set is inccendiary. Love TFS, obviously, but do miss the old Drones tracks. Was lucky enough yo witness this shit live a few times before the hiatus and alwqys came away crushed. Drones/TFS/Gaz are, no hyperbole, in a leauge of their own. No one else is making music like this. I dont think anyone.ever has.

[@Minerva_Devi]

Woah! Came back to watch this performance and saw all the dislikes. What the hell happened there? Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I doubt this performance is really so divisive as to deserve a 214 to 211 like to dislike ratio! Can someone fill me in? Edit: 218 likes to 700 dislikes out of nowhere. Seriously WTF!? Did someone send bots to dislike a few of their videos or something?

[@marje1813]

Has to be bots or something. Fucking all the comments here a praising the band.

[@buzclatworthy1555]

Maybe it's just a bunch of angry patriotic Australians.

[@buckleygeneration]

Buz Clatworthy “Patriotic”

[@suetpantzzz]

Hey yo something weird is going on here. The vid in wich Fantano reviews i see seaweed also has lots of dislikes.

[@DefThrone]

It's got to be someone sicking bots on these videos. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but someone does NOT like what they're saying. They're too unknown to get that many dislikes.

[@3aw77]

NAILED IT , What a band Get back on the road

[@olafolaffsonn]

One day....One day the Drones will come back. One day.

[@magnusulysses8896]

Great band!🇧🇷

[@denissoares5348]

Siiiiim!!! 🇧🇷

[@TheManwithafan]

48:42 so much fucking energy. Its absolutely incredible.

[@DefThrone]

Please do a whole concert where you play the album Feelin Kinda Free in its entirety. And do it in Orlando Florida.

[@ikesau]

Honestly I think it's kind of a complement to have this many dislikes. Stay weird, Drones.

[@blakemelhuish1118]

It’s a downvote bot after garreths disagreement with Andrew bolt

[@PesteNegro]

OH FUCK I HAVE TO SLEEP

helllllll yea best drones gig i've been to!

[@floorofthepinkroom]

How the hell does this have almost as many thumbs down as up? Would give a lot to have attended this gig!

[@iknowme]

How much spit do you get covered in if you stand up front at a Drones gig?

[@controloz3310]

Surprisingly not that much at all. I’ve watched the drones in all manner of spaces over the years and been right in front of Liddiard multiple times. I saw it fly but it never landed on me.

[@ashleythomson6734]

I see seaweed one of my all time fav Oz songs - the only successors to the birthday party

You are warmly invited to come to germany.. ;)

[@sianwillman2477]

Love You Guy's and Gal

[@jailaife9015]

Someone made a mistake and press the dislike buttom instead of the like button. Please report that.

[@t.josephcravens4272]

i love all of the new stuff being performed - it is an excellent set - but am sort of shocked at the exclusion of "sharkfin blues"...and not one tune from wait long by the river. that song/album is their chestnut or barnstormer if there is one. then again, i think they have played that song at every show since its release. regardless - the drones are the mightiest band on the planet right now and have been for years, and gareth liddiard is prolly the best lyricist i have ever heard. the man has a gift for the gab, that is for sure. i say this as an american who has never even been to australia.

[@juliamorris6486]

he's wearing the same shirt as 3 years later w tropical fuck storm which is where i came from and i love it . . someone get him a new shirt! ]

[@iEatCRAYONSz]

fuck me dead this is such a good gig

[@joelkeane3160]

Nice use of the Rainbow Machine at 19.30 for all you EQD pedal fans.

[@Goomer]

Damn!

[@controloz3310]

In hindsight this is a genuine goodbye from the drones. TFS are ok but it comes nowhere close to this. Bring on Springtime.

[@pabloochando9806]

Tropical Fuck Storm are very good, but I miss The Drones so much!!!

[@sidneyj.wright7201]

I can't believe I didn't see this when it was uploaded but holy fuck... Love it. The dislikes on this video make my stomach cramp but as long as you guys keep making music, fuck em

[@Hkgamehunters]

what fucking group of people disliked the drones stuff so much?

[@HillsSilent]

But what do fish know about water? I'm probably someone's entertainment...

[@kanegreenhatch1008]

I was in that pit .

[@WeAreTheSystem1]

Wait, how are there any downvoted for this?

[@matthewmcnitt8405]

Gaz came at me sideways cuz I was digging Kim Gordon's new record, which led me to Tropical Fuck Storm. Gaz and Fi from the Drones get together with Erica Dunn and and Lauren Hammel to form this insanely fun concept, Tropical Fuck Storm. As I dig deeper, I find this trove of The Drones. So much here, so much incredible music and songwriting here, how have we not heard from this insane band up here? They are fire. Caught three shows of TFS tour, every one was pretty much the same set, but of course, a bit different. Would've loved to have heard one of the Maria's, Eugene, or any Drones song, but this Gang of Four continues to tighten up while somehow managing to simultaneously unleash their chaos. Fucking fire they are.

[@shrugzplays5519]

Private execution is so bad ass. I can’t even explain. It’s just like an omf. It makes want to kick some puppies.

[@LombyLomby]

what's with the like-to-dislike ratio wtf

[@kmdionis]

714 dislikes? WTF. That must be a typo. This concert is genius! Or it means they're doing something *right*! -- what I heard the 1st time my work really pissed someone off. 😂

[@mrbertssuitcase]

I think the Drones must get bored with me asking them to come back to Nottingham

[@monolithe2812]

F×ckin' killer!

[@jean-jacquesdupuy99]

Thank you guys! This is just to good to be true. Exponential viewers curve right there, would the algo allows for it despite the (silly - edit : fucking pussy dislikes. Why zero unhappy comment and so many dislikes ???

[@twod0ves]

swear to fuck someone's just decided to downvote bot all the drones videos for whatever reason

[@retromaskedjesus8189]

NO.

[@michaelmaterne]

ok...

[@Julian_TheApostate]

This isn't the Drones. The Drones were a punk rock band from 1977 London. This is bollocks.
