Bloc Party - Banquet LIVE @ Glastonbury 2009 [HQ]

[@a.j.s98]

I hate that when people talk about iconic 2000’s bands they don’t talk about these guys

[@KarteyKid1997]

Who else can they talk about, this is literally one of the best bands to come out of the uk

[@tomh383]

"so underrated"

[@The_Lost_One]

@@KarteyKid1997 that statement is far from the truth but opinions an opinion I guess.

[@KarteyKid1997]

@@The_Lost_One name 10 better UK bands right now.

[@Brasilfun97]

Matt Tong is a five star skilled drummer. Simply amazing

[@williamelliott6278]

honestly this has to be the best video of banquet live

[@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167]

Great editing.

[@dylancarmody5956]

one of the best live performances by Bloc Party, surely!

[@calvinhermse]

I love how the audience always sings ''Huh huh'' at 0:34 :P

[@Musicman3812]

You kiddin', man? He has one of the best voices in the industry. If can't appreciate it, then please leave us alone, cause the rest of us can and are enjoying doing so.

[@Tyranus1]

Bloc Party just isn't the same without Tong and Moakes. Tong's drumming was just so dynamic and Moakes timing was perfect.

[@GrehgYT]

+Chef Ainsley yeh i miss moakesy and tong so sad... the og bros need to reunite and work things out.

[@kanival42]

Chef Ainsley the new female drummer is pretty good, bassist is good too

[@whoareyou56101]

Just like blink 182 without tom

[@joaovictor3312]

@@whoareyou56101 new blink would still be shit even with Tom, even the last album with tom is nowhere near enema of the sate and dude ranch

[@delayxz]

@@joaovictor3312 take off your pants and jacket is also a great album

[@norbertorban4723]

I miss these days....

[@MrLESLO]

I've heard a lot of music in my time, but this is one of the only songs that can make me jump around the room like I'm a hyperactive little girl, whilst being a 27 year old male. So that's pretty revealing as to how much I love this song!

[@TheMisterwillian]

you said it all

[@MrLESLO]

Misterwillian Hey, glad you're with me. I'm going back to jumping around the room now! ;-)

[@TheMisterwillian]

MrLESLO hahahaha

[@tarikochico]

Do you play ps4 . Mrleslo ?

[@legm5298]

Holy shit you're 34 now

[@Caaarrl94]

drummer is a ninja

[@FinnJain]

He isn't very good at timekeeping; but his drumming skills are fucking amazing

[@lewisarmani4027]

+Finnbar Frank Jain how can you not be good at time keeping as a drummer?

[@FinnJain]

Lewis Armani Only on rare occasions he has weak timekeeping; but he drums with more passion than I've ever seen

[@shaunmarrow2606]

+Finnbar Frank Jain He has perfect timing, you can tell by how the hi-hat sounds it's perfect.

[@AnotherWorldYT]

Hi hat isn't "timing". In this particular live version he played the drum intro fast and then when the singing came in he bumped back slower. Just means the band doesn't/ didn't use a metronome, which is good for the vibe they're going for.

[@luismiguelsanchezchirichig8184]

Mario Balotelli (Vocals and Guitar), McLovin (Drums), DJ Qualls (Guitar) and Julian Casablancas (Bass)

[@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan]

Don't get it

[@FinnJain]

Luis Miguel Sánchez Chirichigno Lol, Russell is nothing like DJ Qualls xD He looks like if Jonny Greenwood and Alex James had a kid

[@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan]

Gordon would be more Thomas Mars

[@RayyanKhanRayyanKhan]

Finnbar Frank Jain nah he kinda does

[@FinnJain]

Tobasse Gaming The hair I guess

[@livingpresidents]

i keep coming back to this. the crowd echo makes it sound so much better than the studio version of the song

[@conlew4975]

the drums are mad

[@Christiandonaghey]

Love the crowd shouting the ''HA HA''

[@obienala123]

Best opening few seconds of any song EVER!!!!!!

[@MrHamishr2]

1:37 matt tong going one handed quite simply like a boss

[@carlo88moe]

it just makes me tear up to think about how good this band is and how amazing "silent alarm" was, brings me back to such a sweet time...

[@r3stl3ss]

all i can do is cry. this band is forever intertwined in my genetical makeup

[@HalfLifev2]

Really wish their newer music had this intensity and excitement

[@pablogranadoseslava80]

Silent alarm was one of the greatest albums ever! I dont know what happened to this band, last singles are not even close to silent alarm songs.

[@joeridesthesky]

Yes

[@garethwinstanley8843]

+pablo granados eslava I couldn't agree with you more an Epic album still listen to it at least once a week even now

[@jamesmatharu5665]

definitely

[@JayIsNotAsian]

Is different style dude and its pretty good too in its own way

[@aleksmarquez6478]

This is one of the dumbest comments I have ever read in my life.

[@The_Anunnaki]

I was going from college to uni during the summer of 2009 and it the last great summer with all my high school/college friends before we part ways (in some cases for life) and Bloc Party tracks was the background music for much of it. Amazing memories.

[@FitzRurisk]

So basically, you personally only know one song, thus you conclude it's a one it wonder, right ? One hit wonders don't last, that's one of the main point. Bloc Party has produced 4 albums and 4 EPs since 2003, have been and are still touring in the most prestigious festivals all around the world, where their music is renown and loved. Imho it's definitely one of the most intelligent and creative band I know

[@re11kon]

is it me, or is Matthew Tong that good a drummer, he could itch his nose at 1:36, WHILE playing the drum at the up-beat motion???

[@DM_1313]

And at 1:49 too, fixing his glasses!

[@christough3040]

yup he is a god 😂

[@legm5298]

His skill level is over nine tozen

[@travingo3750]

I'm so sad I'm never gonna see these guys live

[@MrYunqueman]

2:35 Okay, that drum fill was smooth as hell, ladies and gentlemen.

[@rawnuhld]

Madman Matt Tong making the drums on this song look like a cakewalk once again

@Fifalegendxxyy9 "As of April 2011, band members Matt Tong and Russell Lissack have separately confirmed that Bloc Party are working on new material. With Lissack mentioning that he had 'already written "maybe seven or eight songs" for the next Bloc Party LP.' The reunion is expected to happen towards the end of 2011, with no confirmed release for a new LP or touring dates."....off their wiki, so hopefully this is true

[@Astro_Danny]

this is beautiful

[@benbay001]

This is the band, after Prodigy, who i most want back this year!! ace performance!

are you fucking kidding me? the Singer in this was fucking amazing! i Love you Bloc party and Glasto!

I love this fuckin´ great song.! my favorite band :D

[@Jord0906]

@Turdburger33 the thing is. A lot of these bands are so talented its unreal. I have two favourite bands, Bloc Party and Enter Shikari. Two bands that are SO different its beyond words. But they are both unbelievably talented.

[@DigoMafia]

Kele's conviction makes me be in love you can't die, man

[@AyalMorann]

@Cleiusthenes He actually does not do that on the studio version but the crowd, in many performances, does that anyway haha
