The Aggrolites - "Don't Let Me Down" (Live - 2006)

[willmill43]

If you think this is the sickest keys ever then you truly haven't seen them live!

[BRBgottaskate]

There is an ad on this video now? fuckk

[dmkng1289]

Sickest keyboards ever.

[ErwinERommel]

This is quite interesting, I don't think John Lennon can be beat by this but still interesting all the same.

[DarkHelmet420]

How does this have only 230k views!? unbelievable. 

[thesouthrim]

once a skinhead always a skinhead.

[magicalmysterygirl]

Heard them do this live last night in Montreal. Now THAT'S a Beatles cover!

[godlyelf]

but sadly i dont think anyone in that audience knew what song that was :(

[godlyelf]

this is pretty awesome

[JRad2110]

Pure love for music here, which sets off amazing vibes and hella amounts of energy! Can ya dig it

[goodlukeing]

Ahhh someone forgot the 5/4 bar at 3:39 ........... and he gives them a nasty look at 3:23 luckily they all managed to keep it together and agree on a 1 at 3:29. But awesome groove.

[johnnyraysmama329]

Happy Birthday to the one I love, to a wonderful father & my very best friend... Your gettin old, love you Chuy!

[pokinsmot]

FUCK i hope they do this in redondo in june! The Aggrolites and The Beatles?! cant get any better than that

[alekitoify]

I LOVE IT ♥

DON´T LET ME DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eltrombonverde]

lets do this!! ten people like Barbara Streisand.. jajaj im so original

[FeelTheRoots]

great voice!

[Kujalord]

Oh man, this is so fucking good. Saw them last time in London in the summer 1,5 years ago, I'd completely forgotten that they played this one there, too. Now it's all coming back to me... Shit, their organ player is so sick live. Seeing them again in a couple of weeks here in Finland, can't fucking wait!

[mmmmmska]

are they a skinhead band?

[abesapien36]

@mmmmmska not at all

[mohawk1020]

@mmmmmska yep good ol' skinhead reggae/rocksteady. The way it was intended

[mmmmmska]

@mohawk1020 thats what i thought

[Mankamonkey]

It's so hard to find a good recording of this song. I go see The Aggrolites every time the come around, ans I love it when they play this song.

[boulalaman]

anyone know what organ they use?

[Yesariel]

Yeah!!! he must be realy deaf! he can't hear the live!!!

[rudeboy91]

If Bradley Nowell was alive, God (or whatever the fuck is up there) rest his soul, he would fucking love this band

[stb2tmfz]

its alive!

[psycho4334]

as being a skinhead and a real big soul and reggae fan this has to be one of the greatest moments in under ground music. 

long live the unity of punx, skins and the Beatles for an unforgettable song.

[Jerry13Only]

@psycho4334 Unity still matters to me bra keep it strong

[TheButlog]

9 people were let down!!!!!! thumbs uo!!!

[bigbootyfiend]

BEST BEATLES COVER EVER!!!!!!

[PHANTASTIKMUSIK]

@bigbootyfiend Charlotte Dada does a really good version as well

[craftsman87]

good shit son

[sitro74]

Thats not a pit...That's a dancing crowd

[AbeHeener]

This is the best damn Beatles cover EVER. period.

[SombreNADE123]

the video effect is so annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrThildebrand]

there's so much soul in them that they could easily derail the soul train.

[suicideher0]

woooooo!!!!

<3

[oldblue1346]

ushh esa monaa!!!!! 4:05

[boulalaman]

the organ is beautiful!

[frizzlizz9]

WIsh i was there! :(

[kyleboxes]

[haziest]

[renegade687]

whoa she dug me baby!!!!!!!!!!

[angelrocks87]

[justinstegemann]

words can't express this song. it's just pure bread reggae.

[acitonj]

Tomorrow in Hermosa Beach.. They're FINALLY back in LA I'm so stoked :)

[stevesteve22]

fuckin love them ive been tryin to see them for years

[aerosmith74]

how come bands nowadays dont got soul like they do there amazing the aggorlites are one of the greatest bands in the world

[scottiebrea]

This is it RIGHT HERE!!!

[willofodin]

Is there some mosh pit at their gig?

[SomeSkaLoser]

@willofodin Anyone who mosh pits to ska is a virgin to the scene. We either do cicles or just two step =P

[willofodin]

@SomeSkaLoser  I saw them live ! No pit but it was a fucking nice gig

[rikky383]

@willofodin Why the hell would there be a pit at a reggae show. Pits are lame. Time to move on.

[Jerry13Only]

@rikky383 that just shows that the audience is really into the music, the energy is getting to them.

[rikky383]

@Jerry13Only I think it might have meant that at one time. Now I find it to be very cliche... and automatic... and typical. Kind of contrary to the very essence of punk rock... no? Perhaps I'm just getting old, fair enough. But I do stand by my original statement/question: Why the hell would there be a pit at a reggae show?

[Jerry13Only]

@rikky383 well reggae definitely does have energy to it, just like punk(which is an assumption made based on my name im assuming?). I see what you are asking, but have to completely disagree lol

[Jerry13Only]

@rikky383 I should say theres no reason why there SHOULDN'T be a pit haha

[rikky383]

@Jerry13Only Yeah, and I suppose you could square dance at an Snoop Dogg concert if you really wanted to... Whatever floats your boat there, Jerry.

[Ivhobbs23vI]

@rikky383 Well you can always skank nice and slow like or old school ska dance like 60's status haha

[sitro74]

@rikky383 No less to a Beatles song!!!! hahaha

[rikky383]

@sitro74 word.

[PickXitXup]

@rikky383 Because kids these days don't know how to dance.

[NoGotMoney]

@rikky383 "Why the hell would there be a pit at a reggae show?" Um, because this is LA and we rock hard here. This is not for amateurs.

[rikky383]

@NoGotMoney Hey, I'm from LA too... so I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one.

[bukowskisidiottwin]

@rikky383 because a lot of the kids are try-harders

[Jerry13Only]

@bukowskisidiottwin You dont have to try very hard to feel the music. Besides there aren't kids at these shows. and try-harder isnt a word

[operationsleepywease]

@rikky383 If this is from the show I think it is, it's because they were opening for Dropkick Murphy's and the pit was there for them.

[rikky383]

@operationsleepywease I actually don't remember exactly what my original comment was... but I'm pretty sure it was in response to some kid who was said something along the lines of, "There is no mosh pit, therefore this show looks lame", or something to that effect.

[skapunkteddybear]

@operationsleepywease I believe this is when they were on tour with Bad Religion

[mthai66]

@rikky383 Skinhead aerobics. That's why.

[runJIMIrun]

@SomeSkaLoser yes sir, truth right there. we in the club doin the same ol 2step, just like the thugs haha

[AppleOfDischord]

@SomeSkaLoser No man... You dance the way you FEEL. Just dont hurt no-one!

[Ivhobbs23vI]

@willofodin Maybe a skank pit but you can't "mosh" to this 

[quickslayer]

This is so awesome, i loooove it....charges my batteries to the max :)

[BryanDavidThomas]

These cats have mad fuckin soul. im hooked!

[constellar1260]

I was introduced to this band thru the Van's Warped Tour of "09 and I immediately liked their music. They're so awesome. I would totally love to b at one of their shows. Whoo!

[miRasJamal]

opening for the Wailers 6-24-10



[misfitmamma]

i love it when they play this song!

[TheMrdoka]

This is a fantastic cover

[splayz82]

@TheMrdoka indeed

[quickslayer]

I love this song/video...it always brings me up into a good mood :D

[operationx420]

yea, ladies, don't let me down, now!

[rastafariam268]

Does anyone know what kind of piano/organ they use?

[oolcoo]

@rastafariam268 search for hammond organ

[GaryReggae]

No, it's a Vox Continental or similiar type of 60s vintage electronic combo organ.

[tiptopsound]

@GaryReggae It's a Lowrey

[tiptopsound]

@rastafariam268 Lowrey. Don't know the model #. Maybe a Lincolnwood

[AppleOfDischord]

Beautiful song, beautiful band!

One love x

[kurtfan4894]

i seen aggro twice in one day. they did an acoustic set outside of a music store. then 4 hours later they did a set at fiesta del sol

[KoukiKid]

thats fuckin bad ass

[Mlegato]

i just saw them unexpected at the fillmore with state radio ! Fresh band ! SAN FRANCISCO !

[Gullatine5]

holy shiz.. where is their tour date. i wanna see these guys!!!! just started listening to them yesterday cause i heard of them through rancid/hellcat/tim armstrong affiliated stuff. they are amazing...

[r0b0bert]

its worth it to go out of your way to see them, they get the crowed HYPED. usually play some toots songs too

[brownboyskin]

listen to funky fire that song will make you jizz

[JDogg97TRe]

this was just amazing live i saw these guys at the house of blues when they opened up for flogging molly just amazing whith a huge crowd

[theresavas1]

this video rocks there so much energy

[rachfaceeee]

like it better than the beatles version =]

[darthonslaught]

fuck the aggrolites rocked milwaukee with slightly stoopid. cant wait to see you guys again

[RHCP2210B]

damn man i was there too that night...that shit was fuckin epic...their energy was ridiculous...aggrolites are fuckin sick

[killswitchfan7]

hell yeah dude! even though it was an hour and a half start for them to start it was defenitely worth it!

[OPEtaperunner]

These guys are fucking awesome saw them with slightly stoopid best opening band i've ever seen...fucking great

[BandDFilms]

Why would the Aggrolites be opening for them? Should definitely be the other way around.

[danielparanoia]

who close that show?

[juju458MUSIC101]

is it titled wrong

i thinks dont let me down???

ohh well still bombest song ever

i agree with castleofthoughts

the fab 4 aint nuthin compared to this version

[geoska51]

jajaja se mamaroon!!!

[dirtybase91]

perfect drunk ass music:D

[captiandemocracy]

what album is this on?

went to the show in tempe last night

[wildRLE]

first version i ever heard. the aggrolites get down!!!!

[CastleOfThoughts]

Not even The Fab 4 can top THIS version!

[motionmaker]

DONT LET ME DOWN!!!

Great Song!

[pudseypumper]

A fair point, other than the fact it's a Beatles cover.

[theoakman34]

oops !!!

[Woidgial]

The song´s called "Don´t LET me down"!!

[nugun889]

hard to get a performance with higher energy than that.

[nordec45]

put this song available on mp3!!.

[saaroron]

great

[Duballstar87]

YES mate!

[nordec45]

keep Early Reggae!!!.

ignorant people read more about reggae!!!

Skinet keep your tradition!.

In My Heart... Spirit Of '69.

[btttube]

so, i just think the aggrolites are fun. everyone should accept that others taste in music is different than their own. if you can't do this, then you're pathetic for dwelling on it.

[evilfairygoddess1]

I love this band....the singers voice and style reminds me a lot of the late Bradley Knowles....

[lazfili]

Great Cover The Aggrolites kick ass

[buzzkill]

The same could be said about many many mainstream bands. When has AC/DC or Linken Park or George Strait come out with a new sound. IMO never.

Personally this is one of the best live shows i've ever been too, and you really have to go to one to judge them as a live band.

[bigchief70]

Those people have a "Genre" yes, they have a particular sound, but with the Aggrolites every song sounds the same. To my ears there is little variation between each song. This is the reason why I dislike them. The lead songer has a good voice and stage presence, but I just don't dig the music. I have seen them live, and i'm still not too big a fan.

[robertomosquera]

fuck yeah!!!! aggrolites!!!! great cover

[moosedenied]

Welcome to the definition of a "genre". You dumbass.

[bigchief70]

I understand that it's a fucking genre, but every song shouldn't have the same damn rythym! A listener should be able to tell one song from another, its damn near impossible with these guys! Lame live show to boot!

[skasez]

hahaha same rhythm??? you have no fuckin idea about reggae dude...

[bigchief70]

On the contrary, I am familiar with Bob Marley's work and his music has varying tempo and sound between songs. I'm not bashing Reggae as a whole, just The Aggrolites... They're just not that great a band in my book... other than Buzzkill i'm still waiting on someone to make a semi-valid point to defend your precious Dirty Reggae front-runners....anyone?

[Dominik12345678910]

@bigchief

well... I'm gonna do so: I don't think they care about your opinion bout them. Enogh people out there, who are fans.

[bigchief70]

But I do care to hear others opinions as to why they like The Aggrolites. Beyond people basically saying: "Go fuck yourself" i'm not getting any feedback here.

[aslad]

Maybe you just don't hear the soul that the band has. Its not something you can teach or learn but they have their soul in this music. If you can't admit that you might be deaf.

[bigchief70]

Or I might just have good taste in music...its all perspective man.

[aslad]

If you have heard the same music I have I think you could see the soul within it. I believe you can hear someone pouring their soul into their music regardless of the Genre. Jimi Hendrix, Aggrolites, Lennon... all of them played music that was palpable. There are plenty others but I don't want to list them all off haha

[bigchief70]

Yea i'll give you that, it's obvious the Aggrolites have soul to their music, I just don't dig the "Dirty Reggae". The lead singer has a solid voice though...More or less I may just be bitter because they opened for Dropkick Murphy's back in March and I wasn't really in a Reggae mood at the time.

[cheers1905]

Well said! That is exactly the reason why I love the Aggrolites so much.

[nanku42]

@aslad Yea, well put. I saw them live a few years ago and it was pure magic. They are something truely special. 4:23 gives me goosebumps everytime.

[bigchief70]

Way to elaborate on that point skasez...how about you explain the way you feel instead of being so damn condescending. OK DUDE?

[skasez]

Do you know Slackers' "Sooner or Later" ?

You can come round my home mister,

But i don't mind.

You call me up on the telephone mister,

But i don't mind.

'cause i've got much more to do than to

Bother with you.

And i ain't got no time for your

Violent little mind

[korchard333]

I Couldn't agree more, great quote from an amazing band. Vic is a legend. peace x

[bigchief70]

Sorry for expressing my opinion by the way. I don't want to upset the gistapo...

[rossnaman]

we dont want your fucking opinion you sorry asshole!

[bigchief70]

That's is because you are a close-minded fool that is threatened by opposing opinions.

[nordec45]

damn...the early reggae performed by these guys are so fucking amazing...

[Rockness6]

best aggro line up right there

[r0b0bert]

its missing korey kingston though

[Rockness6]

You are right, add korey and J on the bass and there you have it.

Anyone know Korey's status in relation to the Aggros..???

[r0b0bert]

their tour manager told me he got married which is good for him but damn : /

[coolbfrosty]

I saw these guys open for Flogging Molly at House of Blues in New Orleans. They were really good!!! This was my favorite song in their entire set.

[r0b0bert]

always is, they took the beatles song to another level

[Thecityslicker]

Awsome...

Check out my short film 'The Beat recorded live at Southsea pier' for some more great memories

Cheers

[Flonga557]

[pearlriver9]

[njlacrosse9]

[cjsdrummerboy]

[kavigr]

[Punxskaoc1]

They played this at the Warped Tour Bbq/Party in Mountain View, It was sooooo good... and we were all sooo drunk, Ahhh Good times

[CaviesFan123]

god. his voice sounds SO much better live than recorded. I don't even know how or why, but its so much better live

and his voice in general is just friggin amazing

=]

[meatloaf032890]

I agree. They were amazing at Warped, but the recorded stuff isn't all that impressive.

[rhondamorris]

To someone with a horrible ear for music and poor taste. Yes in that case you would be correct sir! knob!

[TheBSG]

Don't let me down!

[superskatinsean]

saw them at warped it was a fucking great show. now im getting all albums
