Ratatat-Breaking Away [Live at SFBH Wellington]

[TheAussie00]

I have a feeling ratatat loves the climax of this song as much as me :p

[emolio14]

/watch?v=n3UFQ2lFjYE  The same chords.. the same name of the song... SUMO was an argentinian band from the 80`s.. whats going on here?

[princemichiet]

That guitarist would kill at limbo!!

[MrZKXI]

What was the song that they started to play at the end? Somebody please tell me.

[thugg0]

glorious ending



[2drolly]

I'm a great fan of Ratatat since about 3 days, I really love them! This is my favourite song. It's mysterious but beautiful and calm. But I don't really get that wonderful feeling from the live versions. Maybe it's just me?

I agree with Raiyell, Ratatat and Classics are really great!

[xtcvirus]

it has such a liberating affect. i just have to close my eyes, and everything begins to melt away: the stress, the worry, the pain. all that remains is a sense of freedom from the mundane and trivial. Breaking Away couldn't be a better title for this music. this will forever remain my favorite off of any of their albums, and i'm glad to live in a generation that gets to experience it.

[DarkStageFilms]

I have just come across Ratatat last week and I haven't really gotten a real feel or understanding of their style. Is this normal? haha

but i am sure i am soon to come around, they sound really experimental so thats a plus in my book.

[Raiyell]

@DarkStageFilms welcome to the group. better late than never :P I suggest listening to the albums Ratatat and Classics. When I think of ratatat, it is those albums. LP4 is cool, but a bit different. It may take a while to get used to them, but once you do, you'll be glad. Certainly not like anything you have heard before. If you think they are, whatever you heard most likely was influenced by Ratatat.

[619mikeg]

If Ratatat jammed with John Frusciante, that would be awesome...

[releasenisafranpez]

wow. i am just AMAZED! this song sounds so much better live. can't wait to see em play this wednesday!!!!

powerful stuff.

[anduan2]

may Ratatat bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true

[mratomix]

this is pretty shitty dude.. they are fucking awesome elsewhere this is

[savemecasey]

@mratomix Learn to know anything about anything and notice how early this Ratatat is. With some time who knows what will happen? Oh wait I do, FUCKING MUSIC GODS.

[prettywildthingg]

ear gasm.

[laxmanumbathr33th33]

This is the purest form of music Ive ever heard.

[shamalp]

oh my god

[maceuz]

i just jizzed in my pants..

[preaktheprank]

above vocals and genres, floats ratatat, seagull among crows

[BFCky]

This is probably my favourite live video ever.

[CakeAndPasta]

They came to wellington? You're fucking kidding! Goddamnit why did I listen to such shit in 2006?

[pablodius]

wow

[prophet3190]

my favorite song by ratatat an very good band

[thefiremanscomin]

i would like to hear some arpeggios tossed in just to kick up the song it sounds great regardless but considering its live....

[Muzzy12]

either this or Ferraro is my favorite ratatat song. fuckin awesome

[hollyhole]

This made me nostalgia ):

[Archibaldinho]

the more i listen to ratatat the more their songs start to sound boring.

[packman2436]

shut the fuck up

[MrPhonepencil]

i like how the tempo increases as the song progresses, kinda like stairway to heaven was written. this is one of my favorite songs though. underapreciated tho,, i prefer their first album to Classics.

[christinaaaaa]

i know this song does not get enough credit.

it's so amazing.

[Timmy923]

the tempo never increases

[Mat2k8]

3:40 is the best part in the song lol

[Ravenmystar]

agreed

[hmunkey]

i wish he didn't headbang on such a dramatic and smooth song (my 2nd favorite after gettysburg). i kinda wish he played it like a jazz player since it rolls so nicely, but whatever, he's the musician not me

[eddypalacioschannel]

0:20

this is why people say white people don't have rythm

[csquaredx]

HAHA

thank you for making me laugh out loud when i should be studying for a midterm that is in exactly 2 hours

[packman2436]

funny you say that.. do you really think a guy with no rhythm could contribute to making music this fucking awesome?

[Pinksnotgoth]

These guys are nowhere near as good as LED ZEPPELIN!!!

[MusicFanatic1990]

Yes, because they are the same type of band or music.

Comparing apples and oranges makes you cool. Idiot.

[DEFENDERROBO]

they are just a indie band they arent trying to be world famous rock band you ass

[zxcvnmtgb]

Gotta love them

[zeppelin72189]

might be an ebow

[Gallagher390650]

everytime i go on youtube i watch this! gets me everytime

[ftfw420]

i just saw them in boston on 4/20, easily the best concert i've ever seen

[karancm]

[johnnyBuz72]

@ftfw420 i was at that show too ! fuck yah

[packman2436]

fucking unbelievable

[RookeU2B]

Fucking FLAWLESS. I have seriously gotta see these guys live - they do a fantastic job.

[nuzo155]

GRANDE

[eIektro]

I love ratatat but in some parts they don´t hit the beat correctly!!

[jonny3gwd25]

how do you hit a beat correctly? what the hell are you talking about? they can play it however the hell they want

[eIektro]

Yeah they can but it's wrong now shut up you fucking cunt!

[asaismushy]

the guy is all banging his head and stuff and the music is like dooooodooooooo

[rjsoria]

AH HAHAHAHAHA!

[sieler081]

3;45 Is the best part!

[whatyouare818]

to answer your question... NO... YOU ARE ON CRAZY PILLS!!! RATATAT IS AMAZING!!!!

[BigHit9922]

this song is great, another similar one is "cherry" it is personaly my favorite. Ive smoked and fallen alseep to it numerous times

[Antom1234]

Great performance. This song made me cry the first couple times I heard it.

[sieler081]

True that.

I love these guys. The only band I can listen to over and over and over again.

I'm so glad I've been able to see these guys live.

[augenfaenger00]

thats true! ..over and over again and again!

[samsino]

that's a bit weird.

[pgauva2]

the lead guiratist is so talented, but frighteningly skinny. i think i saw his hip bone jut out (eek!) E-Vax is f f f f FINE

[dangTree]

ughhh this guys, jeez they're great.

[andrew2dope]

this is one of the most dramatic songs i have ever heard.best build up i have ever heard in a song aswell.i dont listen to alot of like soft music n wut not but i have the highest respect for ratatat.the emotion they put into every song is amazing.so original.good stage presence and visual effects.can wait to see them on the 11th of oct in montreal!

[johnnyBuz72]

the guitar work from 4:13 - 4:17 is sooo moving it's incredible. i am seeing them in boston on the 29th i cannot wait.

[tehUbern00b]

I am so fucking gutted that they came to wellington when I'd never heard of them...

I saw their poster up! goddamn

[xxmarka]

breaking away is def one of my top 3 ratatat songs

[Deadite32]

Does anyone know what kind of guitar that is? ...Mike Stroud is god!!!

[iamawildcat]

it's an old epiphone welshire they reisued it recently for a short lived run except they were made with humbuckers as suposed to the minihumbuckers the originals had great guitar. i saw an original one at 30th street music in nyc and it was going for almost 3 grand so good luck

[emericask8rboi]

he kinda fucks up the groove with the headbangin

[mindtrick714]

best part of the song

[jesavoth]

The bass sounds out of tune

[mrpeanut25]

nah i think its the distortion of the sound the recording gives, it does sound out on a few notes

[jenniers]

I'm going to one of their shows in August...

I'm so excited!! What is the crowd like??

[mindtrick714]

drugged and then the white college kid that thought this band was straight..

[mindtrick714]

going to the la show , you will be able to smell me.

SMOKE WEED ALLDAY

[jonny3gwd25]

'SMOKE WEED ALLDAY'

why does this comment have a negative score? ratatat is a drug band in every way. they came up with their name while on an acid trip! and without question, their music is amazing whislt stoned

[dontutremble]

they are psychadelic. this shouldn't be surprising to anyone. just a stigma comes along with the affiliation to drugs.

[Terrorizzzm]

why are all these new alt bands all labeled psychadelic. They are not.

[dontutremble]

well no, of course they aren't explicitly psychedelic, but it's easy enough to see the psych influences.

[Terrorizzzm]

in the way they experiment, I guess.

[marcozbrun]

maaaaaaaaaaaaannnn fucking awesome

[sonofragelove]

addict to them

[Nivirrroqus]

i just love it <3

[AlejoMaldrov]

3:45!!!!! yeah!!! that's fuckin ratatat alive!!!

[AlejoMaldrov]

perfect vid, ratatat rocks the shit!!!!

[apairofeyes]

so goddamn amazing. these guys are the shit.

[emmacici93]

so sik

[Joneral]

seen them twice in concert, they are great

[LeMoNaDe777]

aw man what the hell, how did I miss these guys >:(

[stayzee]

fuck.yes.

[gundaberg]

Sweet, playing at Bodega on May 1st.

[Simulacrum79]

I just wasted like 3 minutes of my life trying to figure out why in the hell someone would post 'EMO' WTF are you thinking?

[PeterGunga]

yea, what the hell are you trying to say.... that is a rediculous statement for so many reasons.

[Cao999]

hey im strugling to know what genre they are and yeah, do ppl like dance at em live or mosh or what?

[shino1232]

go listen to Slipknot u fool

[zakatak000]

I clicked 'show' so we could all sit back and laugh at this idiot comment.

[Recoil42]

You clicking 'show' doesn't automatically show it for everyone else, fyi.

[itsfrancob]

Tat got that static!

[jonny3gwd25]

so good. just...so good

[Boeoeoerg]

aahhh geile sache...

can someone tell me what that song they beginn to play in the end is called?

[shino1232]

i dont think thats any of ratatat's song, i may be wrong...i have all of their albums and most of their LPs and demos and i dont remember hearing anything like that

[Boeoeoerg]

Ah petty...well thank you,anyway

[flyingsudjman]

super goil!!!!!

[estebanrvf]

:...........beautiful.........­..:

[ice9487]

this band is fucking boss

[johnnyBuz72]

beautiful

[sigurboy83]

awesome

[cidadaovagamundo]

hmm the guitarrist seem a lit bit retarded :o is that feeling?

[DaveDumperman]

That guy in the audience clapping in the beginning made me cringe a little.

[elreichda]

he's either monstrously tall, or he's standing on the last person who was upset with his clapping...

[jamesattack1]

or he's lame. clapping like that makes me do more than cringe...

[TheseYeahThese]

have they recorded this song?!?!

and if they did does anybody have it!?

[Deadite32]

"Breaking Away" is track 7 on their (first) Self Titled album (2004). I think I can send it to you if you'd like!

[roboxed]

bass out of tune?

[neonlseep]

actually their great live,! totally mesmerising.

one of the best gigs i saw this year! seriuosly.

[gruppler]

i love ratatat and everything, but they really aren't that great live. they seem to have a lot of trouble sticking to the beat at random times, and they always do that slow zombie head bang...other than that, they're not too bad.

[thejakk]

the song is called breaking away. YESS i love this song

[tinting48]

nice video

[bitterbanana]

Best ratatat video on youtube, thanks a million.

[AaronJamal]

love this song
