[duiventil5]

[laika288]

Ever seen that film where stuart does his nice singing and improvises a few witty remarks, lovely people dance on stage?.......then Stevie Jackson comes in and kills everyone with his guitar thing...awesome

[ecklesmecken1]

is that heaven?

[MrTANGUARNIZ]

CHULADA DE ROLA!!!

[alithehat]

I have seen Belle & Sebastion many, many times...but always in Scotland...never like this!!!

[MrMrsmeerkat]

[aquatone01]

anyone know the notes that the flute/recorder player is playing?

[beksinski]

[scotdawg01]

i saw Stevie Jackson in Urban Outfitters

[andrewsk8rsolomon]

Shit that would be a pretty big pickle, choosing Belle and Sebastian or Foo Fighters

[4ABO]

love the apocalypse now look in the sky

[mrpatrickrevans]

@4ABO it's called sunset

[4ABO]

love the apocalypse now look in the sky

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

Were they in a hurry to catch a plane or something? This is definitely faster than the album version of the song.

[PimpBrovasTV]

@MckyMseNTarotCrds they always play it faster live, I quite like it like this!

[mrpatrickrevans]

@PimpBrovasTV maybe they play it slower when recording?

[007KevinD]

there was a better video of this - where is it?

[gregs76]

I was there! It was such a good gig. The Foo Fighters were playing at the exact same time on the main stage just to the left, and it was VERY loud, you could hear the bass and drums during all of B&S set. We all tried not to let that ruin it, but it was difficult.

[TrawlingKismet]

Oh my! It's my ex-girlfriend miming playing the recorder, haha, good times.

[franc2000]

@TrawlingKismet Your ex-girlfriend is a honkbomb.

[robotwookie]

Stuart is the only guy on the face of the planet that pull off a popped collar and make it awesome!

[HQRLC]

@robotwookie

Apart from Eric Cantona, clearly :)

[EARSOUNDS]

Imagine being there.. dancing in your shorts and arab strap!!! deadly :-)

[KubikWabik]

I want arab strap....so much :-D

[Snorkmaiden100]

[DChaundy1]

[tibumagpie]

I love this song! Belle & Sebastian Rules!!!! ...cambio...

[alberth3god]

What do you think of the sound of The Foo Fighters

[septip123]

@alberth3god I think they blow ;-)

[skacel1874]

@septip123 ....nooooooo!

[Nicolette233]

Being able to come up with a verse on the spot like that is pure talent. Plus they were awesome before that anyways haha :D

[Scotlanz]

Wish I'd been in that band on that night!

[Talk2Luke]

I think this is the only time I've known a recorder to sound cool.

[GoldenMcNair]

This simply makes me smile!

[GreenHifi8]

Th best live video I have ever seen!!! Absolutely brillant. It made me buy the whole album a couple of years ago....yeah i know I am slow, but it was worth the wait !!!!

[punkrockerRHCP80]

this makes me want to go to coachella soooo bad this year. has anyone gone in past years or is going this year?

i always forget that these lads are such great musicians also!

[bezz456]

if there is a more friendly,down-to-earth and unaffected band than this lot I have yet to meet them.

[CJoMc]

@bezz456 That's Scots for ya :)

[septip123]

Cochilla doesn't deserve B&S

[marktrenkle]

"what do you think of the sound of the foo-fighters floating across the polo pitch on a summers day... well it's not quite summer but it seems like summer to us" hahaha. murdoch

[yopibram26]

Sweet song, i found it in "Definitely, maybe" movie. Easy listening, sounds fun and it is look fun at live, so fun at 1:40. cheers guys.

[HQRLC]

"What do you think of the sound of the Foo Fighters floating across the polo pitch on a summers day. Well it's not quite summer but it feels like summer to us!

[boycalledfrankmills]

'floating across... ?? ... on a summer's day though it's not quite summer but it seems like summer to us'

[boycalledfrankmills]

'what do you think of the sound of the foo fighters floating...' that's what it sounds like to me

[tokowpc]

like his little freestyle at the end

[AdrianG48]

Love the dancing. Too cute

[Ledesterrado666]

What a beautiful song!!!!-- Belle And Sebastian is the best group I've ever listened to--

[robotwookie]

Agreed. I've never understood why they don't have more fans.

[punkrockerRHCP80]

[coombeh]

[robotwookie]

They're making it up

[SamuelTouchdown]

We all know you're soft cos we've all seen you dancing. We all know you're hard cos we've all seen you drinking from noon until noon again

[eavvi]

[wezer40]

mint song always wondered what it was after watching teachers on channel 4, top tune

[MOLOCHROCKS]

Ah.... the power of an ironic guitar solo in such a mesmerising setting... bliss has a middle name even if it is BS !

[shiqianlu]

加速版boy

很喜欢这种现场氛围！

[calumbowen]

I really like it played this fast!

Hahaha, stevie is so funny at the end of this video, B&S rule unbelievably.

[belal650]

The music, the backdrop, the faces, the music, the happiness, the innocence. It goes against everything I've seen on this Earth.

[h0pp3rs]

indie at its best

[shitstains5000]

an arab strap is a sex toy or some shit to keep your jimmy up, thats what the songs about, the boy with the arab strap

[OneManAndHisGuitar]

No, it's about the lead singer of the band Arab Strap.

"A central location for you is a must as you stagger about making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts" is about his stage manner, I think.

[UnkleSi]

I think it's about both after doing a bit of reading. Some story about it being about the guy from the band 'the arab strap' but also maybe mocking him a bit by saying that maybe he uses an arab strap.

[faridoon243]

i love this song, but what the fuck is it about

[EuropeAgain]

It's about Aidan Moffat out of the band Arab Strap I believe.

[charlieclement]

does that look like the perfect gig or what

[leftismme]

fab

[deepmelancoly]

Belle and Sebastian are the best band ever, let alone Scotish!

[Fockoel]

mi rende matta

[fadsandfancies]

Keeping the indie dream alive!!!

[olivier55s]

Magnifiquement Pop

[bmaclet]

Un régal !

[wyclifdotnet]

Ian rocks the popped collar

[JohnnyCreepy]

Best Scotish Band Ever
