[SweetSoulDevil]

[moloko1707]

[lgdseixas]

Amazing amazing amazing amazing amazing amazing!!!

[hymynameisbazs]

fuck, i don't like the electronic music, but in this song.. i had orgasm a few times... i would kill or fuck everyone at this part. and what alex does with his guitar at 6:04 . thank god for i found ff in 2004.

[DerBrennendeKomet123]

the electronic music part is so awesome!

[tulkuwithattitude93]

you know when it's majorly not an franz crowd when they cheer before the totally awesome dynamic psychedelic keys solo!!!

[MrFranztastico]

Amazing... Franz Ferdinand, my second favorite band ever... Beatles first haha...

[finn946]

i was there, right at the front, woeful crowd, i was most probably the only franz fan there

[fannboygh]

MA ROWDIOU!

[brutonello92]

quepodre

[IDrumNaked]

applefags not knowing how to react to something good... seems legit

[charlotteT5278]

Alex could have had an amazing 'freddie mercury wembley stadium' moment with the crowd 'ah haaa yeah' if they were'nt a bunch of wooden logs there!!!

[L154M4214]

this crowd is painful to watch

[peterdcarter1]

hidee ho

[AmuseMe543]

I thoughts the son was pretty good. Then the synth solo came. And then I came.

[Blehstor]

WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS THE BEST SHIT IVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!

[SrbskyKral]

Epic ending !!!

[danchaplin22]

in mexico they didin`t play this marveolous song :( shame!!!... still this was one of the most incredible gigs in my life...

[victiln666]

4:20

[GlasgowSkate]

franz ferdinand are clearly been unfluenced by LCD Soundsystem and the likes, more of this to come no doubt!

[risenphoneix]

You know ,most people with short hair can't head bang...the Franz can.

[TehSlothman]

Oh so why don't you...

Alex: Meet me thereeeee

Nick: Come a- oh shit

[007007008plp]

aahaaaaaaaaaoo YEAHH!!!!!

[MustLoveCookies]

Fraaaaaaaaaaaaaaanz <3

[GiJhoGa]

Speechless...Excelente :D

[bercamo1989]

Best Version Ever

[bercamo1989]

Best version ever !!

[amanazapda]

3:57 The "Alex-Kapranos-Fake-Split-Catc­h-Move" how we love it! :D

[DeVogelgriep]

what is the name of the song?

[Bohbzaum]

@DeVogelgriep Lucid Dreams

[DasVogelgriep]

@Bohbzaum I thought that was the band?

[Bohbzaum]

@DasVogelgriep

The band is Franz Ferdinand

[chhau123]

best outro ever!

[glopezbertoni]

what a boring crowd! they are so awesome they don't deserve people just standing there and looking at them in such a doll way... franz ferdinand you rock!

[glopezbertoni]

epic!!

[dangerman200k]

I swear throughout almost all of this video the crowd are just standing there like a bunch of lemons, even though the band are doing their best to get them into it.

What's up with that?

[DrivenBlack]

2:12 prime example of a "Pussy Pit"

[PineTreeAndCone]

Its so refreshing to see these talented musicians on stage.. Better than this manufactured shite that you see now days.

[hulandron1]

¡¡¡VIVAN FRANZ FERDINAND!!!

[fools0on0parade]

Why the hell is the audience just standing there??? I would have been jumping around like a maniac!

[LadyKenobi202]

Paul looks sexy with beard. This is my favorite version of Lucid Dreams!!!!

[Nataiiaa]

Is it possible that the Asian girl with big glasses in 1:20 was also at SOS 4.8 2010 Festival in Murcia, Spain?? I think saw her there. I'm scared.

[Nataiiaa]

@Nataiiaa Sorry, I meant 3:20

[swanceva]

lol poor paul, all alone at the end XD

[biembi445]

WAAA QUE ESPLENDIDO

10/10

[freydey]

FF are fkn great live O_O

[BiffyEllis]

@freydey Yeah man saw them last year and they played lucid dreams last and the outro went on for about 15 minutes!!! It was incredible!

[Akanakin]

@BiffyEllis That's incredible. I need to see these guys live. Lucid Dreams is one of my favorite songs of all time, and to hear it live would be incredible. For it to be the closer, would be orgasm inducing. To hear it go on for 15 minutes? I really don't think i'de ever recover.

[madameVolanges]

I never see before so fucking rigidly and small contact people...

[laurin555]

i saw this live. the end is so amazing

[AitorNirvanaLTM]

The Best!!!

[ccaaaiiooo]

way better than original

what a bad crowed...

[nicolas932]

mooooooooog 4:15

[jmusej]

Great song! sweaty Alex made it better LOL

[beaversimpson]

That was incredible wish I could have seen it in real life

[vannalovee94]

I dont get why people pay to go to a concert to fucking stand there like a zombie...

[LeoVKMusic]

@vannalovee94 Simple answer to this one...tickets for the iTunes festival are drawn like a raffle. None of them paid to go.

[hulandron1]

This song live is better than the original :¬)

[hulandron1]

Esta cancion en vivo es mejor que la original

[TGMR1995]

@hulandron1 Okaaayyyy.... ;)

[idontsufferofmadness]

i have no words for how the ending performance makes me feel. it's just too good. every good thing about music in one.

[FAULTLESSband]

GREAT!

[amandinhad1princess]

i love this song..is so much beautifull *--*

[0509568m]

TUNE

[OCTAVIUSnfriends]

moments like these is why certain bands are amazing to me. they will experiment on every album but still retain a certain sound that is mind blowing, especially live.

[LeMetropolitain]

why is everyone in the ayudience so f****ing calmed down !

minute six is orgasmic... It is a new genre.

[Jesuscanfly]

Who the fuck moshes to Franz!? I understand dancing, but moshing?

[SparklyCheeseburger]

better than the album version

[Xue76387]

the people that gave this thumbs down, must suck!

[dankspain]

saw this live 2 weeks ago, kickass

[pearljamporch]

I wasn't there but I went to see them on this same tour and they played this one like they're playing it on this video... great way to end the concert

[KawaiiMarshmellow]

ALEX ==hotness.

Ilove this band to death!

id love to see them live!! Why you euro guys so cutee XD.

[callinator92]

@KawaiiMarshmellow you HAVE to see them live! theyre fricking amazing live!

[AdryannaZea666]

great song!!!! i love it!!! and i love Franz!!! :3

[Daworldendswithyou]

This is Epic! but here in mex city they extended it even more!! like 14 minutes!! Viva franz!!!!

[mocha134]

QUE GRÁN BATERISTA

[cabohtz]

this was the set list

Bite Hard, Matinee. Tell Her Tonight. No You Girls, The Fallen, Do You Want To?, Vill Int ( Drums 1st) Can't Stop Feeling, Walk Away, The Scottish Song

Ulysses, What She Came For, 40 Feet, Michael, Turn It On, Outsiders, Jacqueline

This Boy, Shopping For Blood, This Fire, Lucid Dreams

[cabohtz]

in other you tube videos it seems they either close with this fire, ousiders or lucid dreams, yesterday here in guadalajara they played all three of them plus their drumming show.

[foxycorredor]

LUCID DREAMS, this ( 4:20 ) part in the concert was the ****** !!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW is this always they "exit song" ? xD

was the same when he came to bogota..

[jawsboris72]

@foxycorredor This Fire used to be their finisher, but Lucid Dreams seems to have inherited that now.

They used to always used to start with This Boy as well, but as times go on that changes as well.

Would have liked to have seen them stick with the Outsiders and This Fire finish to all their gigs, gave an almost classically epic ending to every time they were on stage.

[xdmirkoxd]

NOW, THATS A CONCERT

[ferchomdo61]

seeeeing theeeem tomorroww here in Lima!

[xdmirkoxd]

eres un puto pinche ojala que te asfixies en el concierto

[LukasBeule]

damn :)

[thumby1212]

It's a shame that they don't include the intro of the album version when they perform it live... It's the coolest part!

I woke with wings from lucid dreams, knew the reason I felt hollow, was that I no longer cared,

If there was some great truth or not

[GuitarTrey]

I prefer the album version actually

its more experimental i think

[iGoEvilLaugh]

i agree 150%

[Noodless121]

I need to stop seeing bands I like live, because IMO live music sucks. And this does not change my opinion. x(

[ninja1dalbem]

that's just because the bands you appreciate are better with all the editions made in their recordings. I know a lot of bands that are even better live! please don't lose your hope :D

[Noodless121]

@ninja1dalbem Yeah, I know. It may also be that I expect them to sound just as good or something similar. My expectations have changed as I see the bands live.

[mdavis6791]

thats cus all the bands u like suck

[Noodless121]

Yeah, you don't know I was just stating a general opinion. Ignorant...

[jawsboris72]

That's what I first thought when I heard Franz live after about a year of listening to them from their albums.

If you listen to more and more though you actually start craving the live versions because it is 'real'. It takes months to get a song just right for an album, doing it live you have about about 3-15 minutes only to impress the thousands that have turned out to see you.

I believe this is the best that Alex has sung, better than all the album songs.

[charmedfover]

itunes festival? Like the online store

[sidewinderAUT]

4:18

awesome until the end

[callinator92]

alex at his best..so fricking sexy!!!

<3

[chrislolomg]

When I saw these in October 2009 I didnt expect this

When they did this live I just couldnt believe how amazing they were

I would pay anything to see them again

[callinator92]

i watched this like 20 min. before i left to see them in vancouver in september.

got me so fucking pumped!

[nathuntfantasy]

I love the epic synth solo, when i went to see them recently in manchester it was just one massive rave in the pit, probably the best moment of any gig iv been to

[mrbillsykes]

i love how in the whole 10 mins the camera never shows bob close up

[HarryG107]

bassists never get any respect

[jawsboris72]

Please don't thumbs down me for this, but anyone think anything about lip syncing? there are a couple of suspect points throughout it that make me think that.

Hopefully not because it is a great, great performance.

[crazymarf]

Just listen to 0:38. They made a mistake.

Great song! I personally think it's their best.

[jawsboris72]

2:11 and one other spot I couldn't be bothered looking further for, he yells out at the end of the line just sung, straight into the microphone and you can barely hear it.

FF is my favourite band, but I haven't heard Alex sing so technically correct before live, and I've seen quite a few of their live performances.

[jawsboris72]

3:49 is one of the spots that I question.

[oisdgh]

@ 41 seconds in they screw up the verse:

oh so why dont you: (come along/meet me here)

makes me think it probably isn't synced.

[jawsboris72]

I'll accept that, proper argument there.

Franz Ferdinand are one of the bands I know for sure don't lip sync, but I seriously have never heard Alex sing as well as that before, especially live.

I guess that makes it better.

[thewalkingbass]

i love this song:) it was also the last song in hamburg last year and it was soooo great! 5*

[ultimatesimpsonsfan]

shame thhe crowd wasn't that amazing

[bmoney563]

This Music Makes Me Feel High.I Love Franz!

[Anon060]

the crowd is so boring.

they played it in montreal and it was fucking ecstatic and amazing.

[livingalone95]

un temazo y una actuacion en vivo exelente para bailar toda la noche!

[iammorek]

Eeeepic

[GoGoHyourinmaru]

Haha, at Bumbershoot, Alex actually jumped into the crowd at the end.

[Zimtflocke]

that's simply wonderful.

oh damn they are so great.<3

[Chiefosaur]

Whoa, this performance blew all their others out of the water...

[08carrick08]

Totally epic!

[supermonkeydick]

One of their best live performances ever!

[0marylene]

I was at the Zenith in Paris for the concert Thursday, November 26 and when I saw all the musicians from each turn to in this piece, it made me immediately to mind Roxy Music in "For Your Pleasure. "

[ECMuse]

6:50 onwards gave me the chills when I heard it live. It's bands like FF that make you totally lose yourself.

[acdcfanbxl]

saw them last saturday, man it was fuckin amazing!

[reivful]

amazing live......... Let's see it again

[johhni]

IT'S FRANZCREDIBLE JUST THAT =)

[johhni]

MASTERPIECE SHOW, NO WORDS.

[HoneysunBambi]

love when Alex dances like a caveman :)

amazing performance btw, although the crowd is poor...

[quietguy101]

man this crowd was really gettin their money

worth

[dyer313]

My god they played for 19 mins at the Brixton academy last night it was absolutely unequivocally stunning one of the best ends to a gig i have ever seen. EVER

[sharkb8er]

six minutes until the guitar is heard.

cool jam session.

[sharkb8er]

fantastic CD. The guitar seems to be missing from this audio.

[britdemmen]

why the fuck is this so epic?

[lissluis]

saw them in birmingham on monday, one of the best bands ive sin live and ive sin a lot

[TheJojoChannel]

They're just amazing....

I'm goingt on a concert of franz ferdinand in december!!!

I'm sooooooo excited !!!!!

[Captaingerrard]

Just saw this at the Manchester Apollo. The best gig I've ever been to. Absolutely f*cking amazing. The synth section was hypnotic.

[TutsButs]

OMG yes! I was there too. I'm so sore! It was like over 15 mins at apollo. Best gig I've ever been to! x

[TutsButs]

BTW, what is wrong with the crowd at this gig? Manchester was going crazy for this!

[KnowYourEnnemy]

Those people were selected on random competition... they didn't pay their ticket, they didn't know the band, they hopped they would see more "pop" bands while FF are f*cking rock stars =D

[reallynaked]

you hit the nail on the head, it was such a brilliant gig!!

[SheeeeeerHeartAttack]

hi david...

i was standing next to you...

this one isnt as good as our one...

crowd arent as cool...

bye david...

[davefrofisher]

Will someone tell me whats wrong with the crowd?

[TheHazzzzza]

ONLY 1.75 HOURS TO GO :D:D:D:D:D

didnt comment yet today so i thought i would... cus im fucking cool!

[SheeeeeerHeartAttack]

hi harry...

my god it was a good gig

our lucid dreams was better

[TheHazzzzza]

hey!

i know, absolutley brilliant

it sooo was, i kept expecting it to stop, but they just kept going, loved it! i see u were next to david, you would have been next to me too then!

[SheeeeeerHeartAttack]

yeah...

its andrew btw...

[TheHazzzzza]

LOL at the people attempting to mosh at 2:14

[TheHazzzzza]

2 days till the aberdeen gig :D I CANNOT WAIT!!!

[tomazprz]

oh my god, EPIC!

[THEZOMBIEBARRAGE]

they shud ave combined the the two together live and the album version this one brings more excitement and the other is mesmerizing I think it's still awsome

[AarinMesplie]

the audience is weak!

[davereynolds2008]

Maybe they're just mesmorised.

[perecful]

vas osman neler dönmüş orda

[realraikk]

wow the audience there is pathetic..When Franz Ferdinand performed at the Malkin Bowl in Vancouver it was 10X louder but a much smaller outside venue.. ohh ya and it was pouring rain . Now that was a great concert!

[Tammcma87]

i know there fucking grim!! shame cos its a great tune!!! i had seating tickets and i didnt sit once when i saw them!!! still remember it like yesterday!!

[Callie78]

i know

that was seriously the best concert ive ever went to..totally going next time they come to vancouver =D

[D0OD3R]

dude i was there too and i would give anything to be there again there was such a great vibe in the crowd but keep in mind this was an itunes festival maybe people there dont like franz :S

[davefrofisher]

Sorry man, but thats no vibe....

And why would they go see them if they didnt like them...?

[lmen1990]

epic i saw this song live but the snyth part was a little shorter and no guitar by alex on that part.

[leonericforman]

FUUUUUcking amazing. Really.

[finn946]

that's me at like 2:08 - tall guy :P
