Death From Above 1979 - Romantic Rights/Do It! [Live @ Coachella 2011]

[ReunionRoses]

Jesse amazes me.

[Papadupulous]

love the bass tone.

[apyeon]

lol the girl @ 2:26

[Cronicwisdom]

oh god that bass player is disgusting (yes, you want to throw up)

[KyleUnwin]

@Cronicwisdom jesse keeler is the most beautiful man i've ever seen

[TheFlabbyEschebone]

this band is fucking awful live.

[ThebigJBIG]

@TheFlabbyEschebone They're one of those bands that sound awful on most professionally recorded videos, but when you're there in person, they sound fantastic. It's strange.

[KillSeattleLewis]

@ThebigJBIG I think that's because they play at such a mindblowing volume that the preciseness of their playing ceases to matter. Whatever, most fun I've ever had at a concert.

[VivedAmour]

Jesse's enigmatic smile at 3:11 <3

[fabielhermoso]

Anybody know the tabs to Jesse's riff at 6:43?

[elefantkaputt]

i love this performance! but why does sebastien fuck up at the vocals? i thought he was a decent singer...

[kaesa82]

@elefantkaputt try hit that drums for over an hour AND sing at the same time... the guy has energy but he is not an android

[ltdedloser]

@elefantkaputt His is. I saw him perform his solo stuff live with the mountains. he has much more control. drumming takes a lot out of you.

[thetoddbertuzzi]

@elefantkaputt tsk tsk

[Kiter02]

Lol he looks like such a badass with that hat

[KyleUnwin]

seb and his sampler make me laugh so much

[NativeViking99]

people think i look like sebastien

[GreenGrayRain]

Gah, I can't stop watching this

[zachirell]

haha fucking love that i posted that so long ago and you guys have nothing better to do than look for old comments about DFA. Also love the personal offense so many have taken to this. Hoping I dont see any of you at coachella.

[celebre14]

3:10 ....

love the smirk on Jesse's face,

it's the 'we fucking rock' look

[zachirell]

romantic rights sounds like a drawn out version of 3Oh!3 unfortunately.

[primustollsystemofad]

@zachirell alittle bit but 3oh3 wouldnt of had the same change ups they would of did something wrong alot and it would not have feeling

[crisscorreag]

@zachirell Actually, you're wrong. Romantic Rights was written and recorded in 2004. 3Oh3 barely existed in that period.

[zachirell]

@crisscorreag your comment is the best because I obviously said that DFA ripped off 3oh!3. lol

[93Bigbrown]

@zachirell unfortunately you are wrong. 

[tobiaspunk]

@zachirell stupidest comment i've ever read.

[thejosh26]

@zachirell you are brain dead and should be sterilized.

[zachirell]

@thejosh26 hAHA I love that you guys all have nothing better to do than look for old comments from DFA considering I published that over a month ago. also love the personal offense so many have taken at it. Hoping to not see you at coachella

[brainsbattle]

THE FINAL PART OF 'DO IT!' MAKES ME THINK THEY'RE MAKING A NEW CD. GOD, HEAR MY PRAYERS AND MAKE IT HAPPEN

[BaronSavageHenry]

I heard to get that sound he uses a 400W cable on a 200W amp, overdriving it.

[JosephCote27]

@BaronSavageHenry

nope. he has the pickups wired right to the output jack, skipping the pots which gives the bass more output. he then uses two different amps EQ'd differently and utilizing the onboard distortion circuit in the amps, and half the speakers in his cabs are P/A speakers.

[rarteaga]

@BaronSavageHenry Lightbulbs and Amps do Watts not cables. Actually that's a cool name for a band.

[Caligamer760]

God I want to go back to this so bad. I was RIGHT in the pit and towards the end of their set I ended up crowd surfing to the very very front! GAHHHH

[bluebeanbaby]

One of my fave bands. I had a shirt with there name on it from Black Market and later on read that they got there band name from a t-shirt..wonder if its the same shirt. Loved these guys since really early on...really sad when they disbanded...happy to see them playing together again. TORONTO represented well. I met them casually at a dive in Toronto..i live there and there from there... really nice guys...Sebastien was super sweet.

[MeagerNick]

2:12 Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit?

[SmokerTrain420]

I still  to this day think, You're a Woman, I'm a Machine is one of the best albums ever created.

[satansbraten27]

jesse is badass homg

[thisisnotlouisrez]

Man, I'd be going ballistic hearing this tune live. Most probably thought they'd never experience it live but what a surprise.

also @Giles4200, Duran Duran are great. don't be a twat.

[Giles4200]

@thisisnotlouisrez never said they werent :) it was just a little odd hearing sebastian throw it to them after they played :P

[JimmyCos]

Well, this is a good crowd. Lollapalooza was filled with stupid, lazy, and pacifist hipsters... this is hardcore, mosh the fuck out of it.

[wolfganggrrrr]

@JimmyCos not hardcore, but mosh away =]

[JimmyCos]

@wolfganggrrrr It's hardcore, at least do it! and the whole heads up EP are hardcore.

[FunkyBuddha15]

why even pit to this? fucking DANCE!

[CakewalkRun]

my lord jesse has a nice watch.

[Giles4200]

Stick Around For Durran Durran .......... really...?

[SmokerTrain420]

@Giles4200 how do you follow a act like that?

[Giles4200]

@SmokerTrain420 aha with Eyeliner and lipstick aparently lmao

[Giles4200]

See you in Toronto Oct 27th :D

[utter125]

i wanna see them so bad!! to bad they aren't gonna play in sweden :(

[siloinmusic]

@utter125

Jo, på Nalen i Stockholm den 8 oktober.

[utter125]

@siloinmusic verkligen?! :O

[privatsnickers]

am i the only that wants to go crazy and break shit when i hear this?

[JosephCote27]

@privatsnickers

fuck no, sir

[thatvideosuckedhard]

@privatsnickers No

[Derangeddemon]

What the fuck tuning is his bass in?

[wasabij]

@Derangeddemon I don't think it's really... tuned. Not to any standard key at least.

[Derangeddemon]

@wasabij yeah it's deff fucked. lol

[Ybanez893]

@Derangeddemon It's actually standard tuning. He's got some sick ass shit to get that distortion to the orgasm point. Without the gear your bass won't sound like this.

[xkikiix]

that show had to be at night!! it's a party there

[bleach3204]

LOLLLAAAAAAAA

[tropicalthunder232]

full of pussies 

[tropicalthunder232]

breeaking someone or something...oh Ottawa we shall fuck you up

[aporchmonkey]

@tropicalthunder232 See you there son. TIME TO FUCK SHIT UP.

[TaffyRaphie]

@tropicalthunder232 the crowd was awful. it was like a lounge music concert.

[tropicalthunder232]

@TaffyRaphie awful crowd, people in ottawa are just posers 

[brownyuio]

I'm glad I started listening to these guys when I was ten.

[blondieexx21]

with his white pants, when you look from behind, it kindof looks like sebastian is naked at his drum set #wishfulthinking

[clucku]

3:05 .... the look in JFK's eyes. goddamn

[luice73]

I always say never trust a dude with a parrot tattooed on his shoulder.

[NativeViking99]

@luice73 porrokeet

[RusticNinja]

dem drums sound niceeee :3

nice mix coachelly

[blondieexx21]

i like how sebastian is definitely wearing a women's hat

[eanoDay91]

Is it just me or is this in a different key to what's on the recording? Sounds a buttload lower. Yes, one whole buttload.

[tman2tuff]

@eanoDay91

the distortion on his bass was really fucked up

[KyleUnwin]

@eanoDay91 nope it's in the same key, i can play it on bass it's a lot slower though

[rammsteinr0x]

I can't wait until they hit Australian shores!

[guanaco103]

@rammsteinr0x Ur gonna love this show, i have never seen two people make so much beautiful noise !!

[MrLankybogan]

I've been waiting for ever for these guys to get back together.

Now all they need to do is come to Australia! :)

[blakeEPC]

@MrLankybogan parklife!!

[MrDanielSultan]

The last part is FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!

[oldepayphone]

How are people not dying in the audience? I would be ripping people's heads off.

[eclectico78]

that was sick the last part of the second song!!

[NickHill668]

rickenbacker is sick dude that white finish man i want that

[Swishersweet9804]

Just saw these guys at Sasquatch Fest this past weekend. Epic, the pit was super sick! Great opening act for Foo...they set the mood just perfectly...I have a new love called DFA!!!!!

[LennartDeGeyter]

Don't think I'll ever get tired of this vid. JFK is a beast, must be the best bassist ever. Almost makes me wish I were gay.

[tropicalthunder232]

@LennartDeGeyter or a girl?

[LennartDeGeyter]

@tropicalthunder232 Aye, or that.

[zohaibisbrown]

SHIT MAN. hope their gonna be back

[iamcarrick]

my toenails were gone after this performance. It was totally worth it.

[peterpickaxe09]

If Jesse doesn't inspire you to play the bass you were born wrong

[Kiter02]

@peterpickaxe09 Yeah, he makes me proud to be a bass player xD I started bass way before I found out about him but I his rifts are badass and really inspiring. I'm learning a lot of them for funzies

[93Bigbrown]

@peterpickaxe09 I play bass and that's why i love this group!

[MultiJamstar]

one day Jesse and Sebastien had a dream. this was their dream

[onacruise]

i can't believe i came out of this pit unscathed. not to mention i actually did stick around for duran duran (and the strokes...and stayed in the back for kanye)

[fabrocaio]

fuck yeah

[hellandkhansefid]

FUCK DURAN DURAN

[yr06jcrawley]

Imagine this with twice as crazy fans at reading and leeds OMGGGGGGZZZ

[diluteduk]

@yr06jcrawley there won't be any decent videos of it though because there's always loads of wankers with massive flags

[yr06jcrawley]

@diluteduk It's at the NME Tent and they've banned flags.

[faux550]

dont get wrong, but that "DESTRUCTIVE" pit looks gay as hell. All things said and done , glad the boys are back

[Monsy11]

Did they preform any new songs at Coachella?

[Juanchupumpkinhead]

@Monsy11 no, they didn't. too bad.

[ckilleya]

What the fucking fuck? 6:49

[KyleUnwin]

@ckilleya what happened? i don't get it

[fleshylocust]

4:15 MOAR

[cocainebluesx]

My neck still hurts from that fat BITCH crowd surfer who landed on my head because nobody could hold her up.

[alterg33k]

@cocainebluesx ROFL that's fucking hilarious

[mahndabeast]

the crowd was insane. extreme pressure, waves of death, and a thousand crowd surfers. it was pretty tough being in the front. but it was FUN AS HELL!!

[P572video]

They have not changed at all, this is like if they broke up for like 5 days.

[ImDarkie]

anyone know what part of the set he talks about the riot at sxsw?

[BiggousDickous]

@ImDarkie In between Go Home Get Down & You're Lovely.

[HowlinAdamJames]

I work for a country radio station, and i just spent the last hour listening to what i truly love. Stay toghether DFA1979

[FunkyBassLiness]

haha after he says stick around for duran duran everybody bails to other sets and the old men/woman glow sluts come running over.

[zbilson]

That pit was straight up DESTRUCTIVE

[FranciscoAntonioV]

@zbilson FUKEN GREAT TIME MAN!

[aporchmonkey]

@zbilson It was actually the exact opposite.

/watch?v=-570WcjyFn8

That is what you call a DESTRUCTIVE pit. Not this. DFA pits are exactly like Sebastien's dance at 2:40. Nice, friendly, mellow jamming pits. Very rarely does an idiot try to do something that doesn't fit into DFA's style of pits. There's a lot more girls that come to a show like this over say Killswitch, and they really don't like getting punched in the face or tit.

[tman2tuff]

@aporchmonkey

You obviously haven't been to a good DFA concert then. In Toronto it was a madhouse and a struggle to stay on your feet

[AncientMonkey7]

@tman2tuff Haha that was the best.

[Rollwithit33]

They were so fucking sick. although there was no riot, at least there was a mosh pit

[ced00]

the final for do it! was insane!

[DubQWST]

So gawd damn siiiiickkk. Love these guys!!!!

[cheesieguy]

I'm so bummed they've not played any new material. Here's hoping for the London gigs!



[mstrkrft555]

....wow

[theemandemily]

wow, fantastic. Thanks for posting.
