Seeing the four of them on stage is quite nostalgic. No offense to the touring members, I love their input during the recording of these newer albums and also on stage - but seeing the original four-piece Monkeys with an old song is just ... magical.
Yeah, "original"... You need to study a little bit more about the history of the real and the original Arctic Monkeys. I will help you : Andy Nicholson (the one who created this epic bassline, btw), you can thank me later! Still, I love Nick and his work too, but I hate when people forget about their original lineup.
@@ItIsRan C'mon guys, Nick is there since 2006, he entered the band during the first album tour, the only one recorded with Andy, so they played the first album songs A LOT with Nick as bassist, so this is not the first formation but definitely is the classic one. They already told at interviews that they get bored of playing the same songs all the time, that's why they change the setlist, release new albums with a good frequency etc. I totally think the OP feeling is valid.
Andy Nicholson may have written some basslines for the first album but Alex wrote so much more and I'm sure he's a great guy but Nick O Malley has done a lot more with the band
I got goosebumps from being literally more than 1000 miles away, can't imagine what the crowd must be feeling. So glad they're playing the classics. I love the Monkeys with all my heart.
Personal bias as I was there, but I've got to say this must surely go down as one of the more legendary and memorable gigs in their history. One of the best setlists I've ever seen them play and a brilliant homecoming crowd. Superb.
Yo viajé desde México para esto. El mejor concierto de mi vida de mi banda favorita desde finales de 2006. No saben lo que se sintió cuando empezó esta canción. Ellos frente a mí tocando ese pedaso de canción. Toda la gente llorando y gritando.
It's the first time i've seen them open a concert without saying ," we're arctic monkeys from high green SHEFFIELD!" lol. Still my favorite bad since i was 16 :')
@@joethelion6016 The last 20 minutes which consisted of the mellow 505 and slow I Wanna Be Yours, after they opened the show with about 10 upbeat hits in a row? Alright.
Yeah it's alright, it's my personal opinion. The last 5 songs were actually : Body Paint I Wanna Be Yours I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor. R U Mine I almost nodded off during 'Snap Out of It' one of my favourite Arctic Monkey songs which *should* have been 'upbeat'. It just wasn't a great performance generally, no shame in that. Their live cover of 'Red Right Hand' 2009 was the band I fell in love with. Sadly no more
I really don't get why they don't play this song live anymore. It's a perfect closer and one of their best songs.. I'd pick this over I bet you look good good on the dancefloor every time.
An incredible keepsake, thank you! Never thought that I'd be a part of such a historic moment, and finally I can say: I WAS THERE AND IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST CONCERT EXPERIENCES EVER ❤
I actually quite like that the sound was a bit low (I mean understandably considering how far back in the city people and cows could hear every single song) cause it made for big audible singalongs
It looks like there is a big difference between what they play in the UK vs US. US is more likely to be AM heavy while UK gets the first 3 albums too. Interesting! I'd love to see this setlist next time I see them
I'm sure the lads feel appreciated with these audiences, but I can't help but think they also feel what the Beatles felt woth their audiences in the '60s when they won't just let the music be on its own. I think its the young person mindset where they want to put themselves in the experience instead of just absorbing it
Are they supposed to just stand around and be silent the whole concert? I really don’t see how there’s anything wrong with the crowd singing along to a song, especially one that they haven’t heard live in ten years.
i don’t want to be a gatekeeper but i kinda wish people didn’t travel far and wide to go to their ‘home’ gigs, like that yorkshire chant at the end and the prospect of being surrounded by others from yorkshire (lol) whilst the band are also from there just feels amazinggg and just a sense belonging yanno. the collective accent too lmaoo
Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks Or knackered Converse Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks But all of that's what the point is not The point's that there ain't no romance around there And there's the truth that they can't see They'd probably like to throw a punch at me And if you could only see them, then you would agree Agree that there ain't no romance around there You know, oh, it's a funny thing, you know? We'll tell them if you like We'll tell them all tonight They'll never listen Because their minds are made up And course it's all OK to carry on that way 'Cause over there there's broken bones There's only music, so that there's new ringtones And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes To see it's a little different around here Don't get me wrong though there's boys in bands And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands And just 'cause he's had a couple of cans He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know We'll tell them if you like We'll tell them all tonight They'll never listen Because their minds are made up And course is all OK to carry on that way But I said no, oh no! Well, you won't get me to go Not anywhere, not anywhere No, I won't go, oh no, no But over there there's friends of mine What can I say, I've known them for a long long time And they might overstep the line But you just cannot get angry in the same way No, not in the same way Said, not in the same way Oh no, oh no, no!
Very. As we're the thousands that walked out during it! The whole thing (apart from the old classics) felt a bit flat They've moved too far from their roots
