Van: *starts singing completely different song* Rest of the band: *doesn't even flinch*

[@DanTwigGolf]

+Heather Martin He usually does that though to be fair.

[@heathermartin4950]

+Daniel Simonini I know but it still makes me laugh overtime :')

[@DanTwigGolf]

yeah it is funny

[@Long-Horse]

+Heather Martin im sure he starts the song right doesn't he?

[@heathermartin4950]

+Josh Cu Yeah the song is right up until the outro. He is supposed to repeat the "remember when we swapped names..." but instead he goes into Dancing In The Dark by Bruce Springsteen

[@princespeach90]

I love hearing a live song that sounds exactly like the studio version, you just dont see that that often anymore, so hearing this is sorta like a breath of fresh air!

[@Whatadelightfulday]

+princespeach90 well except for the Dancing in the Dark part. But yeah, besides that it does sound like the studio version :P

[@humble7447]

why would you want to hear something that sounds exactly like the recorded version?

[@danpungo]

@@humble7447 it’s just nice to hear someone sing just as well as they sound in the studio

[@russellwinfree7587]

Was thinking the exact same!

[@chestercopperpot5139]

Was this 8 years ago 😮

[@SaraSaraPh]

now THIS is real music

VAN LOOKS SO GOOD WHEN HE SINGS

[@Acquiesce-xs9vm]

3:51 bob looks at van like wtf is he singing, but when he realises he's like fuck yes this is the song

[@nessyandtot]

Acquiesce1999 what song is it

[@reissharrison2884]

Dancing in the dark by Bruce Springsteen

[@tannertjarks8203]

Bless your soul

[@ashleygrace7761]

the rawness and emotion of this song is incredible

[@craiganderson275]

Brilliant band. Van is a great man.

[@cakedog2608]

Wish they would do a whole cover of dancing in the dark

[@tysonjolly6729]

The Temper Trap do a great cover of dancing in the dark

[@connordougherty9860]

Would be sick

[@nicoolnot]

3:51 Bob was about to freak out...gave Van the look...bless

[@xxdottaxx]

his face is so damn smooth man

[@livieegee]

just had an eargasm

[@charliecraigs]

Love how Bondy has added his own touch to the solo

[@lewisjackson7158]

Hes called van

[@offroadfishing]

@@lewisjackson7158bondy is the lead guitarist

[@marniewhite3890]

His voice is amazing and this song has just become one of my new favourites.

[@seandavis9908]

Loved it ever since I seen them in the Olympia in Dublin, unreal tune

[@connordougherty9860]

I remember this one time me and my friend were doing LSD and I showed him a vid of Van covering a Killers song and my friend was like “Van truly has such a good voice” and I’ll never forget that. We saw Catfish back in 2019 and it was the best concert I ever seen.

[@atinukeladipo2164]

The instrumentation in each of their songs is awesome. We love legends playing electric guitars

[@abbycap302]

bondy is just killin it

[@p0rcel4in_jesus72]

3:07,. that sudden shift from hard to soft and really relaxed...

[@ChanellColin]

i love this so much, i wanna cry, i love it how van says lots of "woo's" at the end, i love it when he screams and how his voice sounds like, i love his hair, i love the way he moves his head when he says "honey, thats alright", i love the "shhh" in minute 3:05 , i love the weird sound he makes at the beginning, and i love the fact that he always changes the lyrics of this song at the end

[@samanthamitchell4115]

Larry Stylinson I hear you. He inspires all the love x

[@subigyabikramthapa5198]

basically everything haha

[@drewbabydrew7742]

Bit a Bruce . I just love him too he is even more cuter than cute .

[@xanx3280]

his hair is like young alex turner's i love it.

[@melancholic2002]

That's exactly why I clicked 🤣

[@Remu-]

He looks like young Julian Casablancas to me 😁

[@bethturner3772]

best version of cocoon

[@alext6299]

[@lewisjackson7158]

sneaking bruce in was so classssssss

[@carlaarenas7439]

3:07 I want it for my funeral.

[@marijonaive3259]

this is what got me hooked to catfish and the bottlemen

[@ashleighshepherd397]

Saw them opening for The Kooks last night, they're really great live, got the crowd going. Awesome music! :)

[@wojeeee]

Personally, I think these are better live than the kooks, yet the kooks have written better songs.

[@tommobs]

wojeeee Disagree i think the songs and lyrics from each and every song on the album are brilliantly written.

[@alexandrafraser14]

they are coming to st. Louis. are they opening for them here to?

[@StereOasis93]

Ashleigh Shepherd Kooks should be opening for them

[@LetsStopThisSong]

I finally found an indie band I like more than the Kooks

[@sonacruz907]

Man what amazing live performers. Singer is great.

[@anabundanceoftaylas631]

Catfish and The Bottlemen once again doing an amazing live performance.

[@matheusvds]

these guys are so good! I wish the entire band was playing on the killers' cover.

[@Snoopmaguire]

The musical chemistry is top here

[@WisdomsPlace]

They are so so good live

[@willyc.8141]

Now this is what you call a live performance, amazing

[@angilupix]

This performance makes me so so happy for some reason

[@aezul]

Rockin in FIFA Soundtrack.

[@danielhaworth6259]

Love the nod the the big man himself the Boss both acts among my favourites

[@FaithKesslerx]

this performance was great, adding that little bit of Bruce at the end was brilliant......

[@delsinreid3944]

That dude that passes by the door at 1:20 is like "Damn who are these Gods?"

[@TheSunset2012]

I'm having a legit eargasm listening to this LIKE IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE STUDIO VERSION OMFG THEY ARE SOOOOOO AMAZING gosh I'm so bummed I can't go to there concert this summer :(

[@TMiles001]

The backing guitar riff that ran from 0:20 for about 30 seconds drove me up the wall trying to remember what song I knew it from.... I felt like Kevin Bacon in Stir of Echoes tearing up his CD collection trying to place the tune..... Very reminiscent of the Kaiser Chiefs 'Modern Way' riff...

[@MariaSantos-vk1rj]

Van has the talent to make every song sound better, like read my mind, dancing in the dark and ignition, they all sound amazing in his voice.

[@connorbarnett8720]

Idk how i found this channel but im so glad i did...

[@IvCruze]

Now imagine hearing this kind of stuff on your radio everywhere you drive. Welcome to being a youth in Australia, it's bliss.

[@connorbarnett8720]

or i could just buy spotify premium... oh wait... i already have.... ALL YOUR MUSIC ARE BELONG TO ME NOW

[@13dirty666]

Connor Barnett ...buy...plus pay for phone charges ;) Triple J is free

[@connorbarnett8720]

13dirty666 free no its not, some way or another they make money off you listening whether its through ads or not, i prefer to know my money is going yowards the artists in soem small way, plus i have more options than a radio station provides

[@13dirty666]

Connor Barnett Sorry, you obviously don't know what Triple J is. It's a government funded radio station. So in a way, yes I am paying for them when I pay taxes, you could make that link, but when I pay taxes I'm paying the government who distribute the money how they please, not the radio station. So yes, I do listen to it for free

[@shelivesonline1543]

MY HEART STOPPED AT BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S LYRIC 😍 loved it!

[@BenKennedyOfficial]

Great version!! Real tiight band and the cheeky snippet of Bruce at the end was class

[@debrobinson4481]

im in loveee omggggg

[@jobrostylinson]

IM SCREAMING THIS IS REALLY BRILLIANT

[@ActorBelle8]

wow, they're even better live

[@calvindonnelly9776]

That Snare !!!

[@TezzersLovesJBieber]

This is like the funeral song of my last relationship if that makes any sense. I strived so hard to keep one person, forgave him for everything he did. Let him cry on my shoulder even if it was because of something he did wrong to me or whatever the matter might’ve been. I never wanted to lose him or disappoint him despite how many times he let me down in return. Moral of the story, when you love someone this much do not let them make a fool of you because it will absolutely crush you. Anyways, rant over! Love this song still, Catfish are underrated ❤️

[@saabjan2087]

His voice live is goals

[@lando2051]

This is the first time I listen to them and I now I'm hooked.

[@scottrichards5126]

This is amazing.

[@666thesnowman]

Seriously though how good is this

[@bekylouisex3]

I have adored these guys since Leeds 2013

[@KwickiGirl16]

the beginning reminds me of the 1975 so hard! They're great!

[@evelynsharp1451]

Can I be that microphone

[@muhammadfarizgumay8108]

[@hannahl3456]

Saw Catfish at the O2 last night in Newcastle, one of the best nights of my life. Did not disappoint one bit!!

[@iminapunkband]

Heard this on the way to work this morning; love it! The singer seems like he could be Luke Pritchard's younger brother :)

[@craiganderson275]

That's a bit of an insult is it not? The Kooks were shite.

[@craiganderson275]

Hikma haha I know.

[@iminapunkband]

craig anderson My bruv I love The Kooks and that's who came to mind when I heard it ;)

[@craiganderson275]

Haha each to their own man. I actually don't mind their music all that much but I've always thought Luke Prichard was a massive bellend. I may be wrong. On the other hand, Van is a legend!

[@blabhblaja]

iminapunkband I always said I feel he has a Julian Casablancas from The Strokes vibe

[@bethduff6908]
