#3 Bloc Party - Song for clay / Banquet (Live at Reading 08)

[LeonMB]

4:49 loved the moves !

[timcskinner]

@LeonMB

As much as I wanna hate the guy, he's enjoying his moment in the spotlight to be fair!

[ilovekeleokereke]

also love Matt's ' LIVE THE FUCKING DREAM'

[mufasahootenanny]

kellys smile at the end of the intro... "i have written one hell of a tune... its going down"

[pauloh29]

who is the bass player?

[ju1c3t1n]

@pauloh29 I was ther and recall the lead singer introducing him as a mate of the band, the normal bass player was ill. Dont quote me but i think thats what he said, Bloc Party were on quite late and as its a festival i'd been on it all day!

[blochead555]

russell absoloutley fucking nails this. so much energy in song for clay, it is intense

[GloriousBrilliance]

LOL 4:50 Awesome!

[Bassist3545]

4:50 Gordon getting his groove on

[dalskau]

Double eargazm!

[ilovekeleokereke]

the whole of this set, Russell probably played the best guitar he ever has. he's unreal.

[bhsucks]

Please come back and save us from Beiber!

[TheGenteingiro]

where the hell is gordon?!

[rocker46rock]

@TheGenteingiro he was sick, he couldn't play!

[AyalMorann]

@TheGenteingiro he wasnt sick, he was on a paternity leave. his wife had a baby around that time.

[gomez5406]

Seriously guys, new album now!

Get it sorted!

[MrBadAssMonkey]

@gomez5406 WTF?

[Rulemaker85]

C'mon Kele...Bloc Party is your natural habitat...come back!!

[punk100000000]

@Rulemaker85 He's returning to Bloc Party, Kele and Russel are working on new songs. They'll be back together in September.

[sedaramera]

the bassist is out... now i found that gordon is much too cool

[gregs300]

The bass player looks like Sting.

[lun3tacular]

EVERYONE is singing along to Banquet. That is powerful shit.

[youpagans]

i enjoy the oh shit at 1.10

[KennyPeace1]

Two fuckin amazin tracks and wot a transition..i've seen this easily 20 and i'll prob see it another 20...so many great bits in this vid..how can 8 people dislike this...go on kele matt and russell..even the replacement is one the ball....live the FUCKING DREAM!!!

[mirrorball80]

i like the how dances the bass player at 04:50

[Neffen88]

The drummer, need I say more?

[mmmbilly]

Kele actually has a special pedal that kicks him in the nads repeatedly for the High part in Clay

[jacenK]

2 of the best BP songs together-perfect 

[Tropicanam]

Why can't America produce musical groups as good as the UK? You don't see many crowds of this size gathering in America.

[eiresmif35]

@Tropicanam This is a festival, you see crowds this size at Coachella, Lollapalooza etc. as well

[Haugy13]

@Tropicanam One word, WOODSTOCK!.

[angelolrandy]

Great Bassist!!

[sugarybiscuits]

@angelolrandy thats not russell lissack right??

[angelolrandy]

@sugarybiscuits　It understands.

This bassist is also wonderful though Russell is a great guitarist.

[Davers23]

@sugarybiscuits no that is russell, hes there..

its gordan moakes, the usual bassist, thats not there..

[TheFuzzified]

Russel lissack is the coolest guitarist ever. hes not best for talent ( still awesum tho ) he has the perfect indie look

[Deetsbeats]

@TheFuzzified are you kidding look at the solo he does in song for clay

[TheFuzzified]

@Deetsbeats i take that back since posting that i have listened to much more bloc party and he is a god

[JillenCel]

Dit is echt verslavend! Bloc party <3

[Brumpus]

i honestly watch this twice a day minimum

[doggcrappDAVE]

@Brumpus no shame in that, so do i

[RobotLaser156]

coolest t-shirt ever!

[AUCBPrevailing]

Perfection feels like an understatement.

[DesiTwist666]

Gordon was out having a baby n shit, that's just a a replacement for the week I think

[ConorMcCabe19]

BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE!

[laddragonoid]

is tht gordon, did he get a haircut or something in this video?

[crosswalkernie]

@laddragonoid He was off duty because his wife was having a baby. This is a friend of theirs standing in for him. He did a good job, I must say. But he's no Gordy.

[hugofount]

Why every time I watch this video is there some other idiot asking where Gordon is? He was having a baby... GOD!

[IDV2007]

wtf and gordon?

[srei]

i never got tired to say, that the most lovely girl in the concert shows up at 6:26

omg...

so pretty!

[slayinchilean]

ha...no

[ConcreteJungle12]

My favourite live video of Bloc Party on Youtube.

[sjoepjes]

damn, so damn good!!

[AMeNoisy]

[hugofount]

Having a baby

[killuminati182]

[nedyeh1234]

Russel is just a legend

[samlee123456]

i actually like the bass player, he's no gordan but a good enough replacement.

go tommy spparks :D:D (she's got me daancinggg)

[JochiRockDimension]

agree, I like the way he plays, but he can't sing as high as Gordan Moakes, that's the only letdown, he did a great job however

[srei]

what a lovelly lady at 6:27!

bloc party its just the best!

[TheDanSandwich]

Who's playing bass?

[georgo342]

Tommy Sparks or something

[ouroboros78]

Ooh that transition is sick. The singers voice is a bit shaky but these are two wonderfully dark works of theirs.

[weirdbag]

@ all: let the bass player dance like he wants to :P

[LANkY0OMUSE]

bloc party and radiohead this year

[IndieMan3]

Bloc Party and Arctic Monkeys are also my two favourite bands :D good taste my friend

[georgo342]

indeed it seems everyone has good taste here

[TojiTheStomach]

Loving at around 5:17 where he mouths 'Haha' and then laughs as the crowd always sing it that line too early. What a hero.

[NightFightah]

Yeah, I love that :D

[ruaryM]

[ilike2live]

[hamblyrock]

[dan301092]

im seeing them on sunday :D

[frobidoug]

[howcum4y]

is it possible to not like bloc party?

[nbrearleyn]

nope. its impossible :D

[wackojackman]

impossible

[copernicusmark]

You've got to ask whether they ever will headline. I thought they might have a couple of years out then come back with a new album and headline but instead they are playing pretty much the same slot this year :-s

[rickcoley]

there only bk because kele loves radiohead, apparently they wdnt be there if they werent headlining, they definately deserve a headline slot thow, i recon 2011 we'll see them in the top slot

[wackojackman]

yeah i reckon after 4th album they could do it. Though i don't think Intimacy was big enough success to get them to headline slot this year

[leelee003]

Just Let them Headline!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[weirdbag]

he's such a amazing singer...

[8BiTNOiSE]

lol everyone seems like that hate that stand-in basses, but i bit you would wish you were him. being to play along side BLOC PARTY, come on who would pass that up! excluding non-bloc party fans.

[liamthomson84]

Its Tommy Sparks DickHead

[BistroMcSex]

I saw them yesterday in London, and they did these two songs together. It was amazing! :D

[thecultofjonnybighed]

i was there. my flag is the furthest one to the left of the screen on many an occasion

[u2forinterpol]

i love the cockney in kele's voice epic

[retrosophiebubbles]

OMG!

[PositiveTension505]

yeah, I can't remember if they did at Leeds Fest, but after seeing this I knew they'd do it at Manchester and it was awesome :D

[Mitchellsnotdead]

Omg when the crowd realises they've gone into Banquet and they all cheer... fucking epic. I was there and it was mindblowing!!

[wiigwamm]

BLOC PARTY. omg 2 good!!!! seein them at olympia in april and they better be at reading!!! this is prob one of their best performances with two of their BEST songs!! (in MY opinion)

[vickyrawrr]

lol omg NilsB90 bloc party is the best! especially liiiVE!! this song is awesome!!

[NilsB90]

I love the change between Song For Clay and Banquet, by the way I'm at a new years-party right now and we're listening to this woot, happy new year everybody!

[shakeyjake555]

Nice comment, but, what where you doing online at a new years party???

[NilsB90]

I don't really remember anymore (was way too drunk), we didn't have music there so we listened to music on Youtube, but no idea why I logged in.^^

[dizzinicol]

immense aint the word for bloc party live they are outa of this world!!!

[thecultofjonnybighed]

i was there. love reading

[ManUnited013]

where is gordy! who is the other guy?

[AdventChild101]

i think it might be that Gordy's daughter was born around this time, so i expect he was taking some time off. that's my guess.

[dizzinicol]

correcto!

[batsjbrandt]

ninjarh is #1 - # 10 of your vids the whole concert, or are there any songs missing?

anyway, great vids, bloc party is great!

[ninjarh]

Yep, there missing two songs from the set. 'So here we are' and 'She's hearing voices' :/ They weren't broadcastet by the BBC, so no luck finding them for me.

[Indievidualist]

absolutely brilliant!!!!!!

[mikevick7sucks]

My asshole twitches when the song is mixed into "Banquet!"  It's rad! BP FO' EVA, NIGGA!

[frobidoug]

Does anyone know if i can get these vid on to my ipod easily?
