Rise Against at Reading Festival 2011 - BBC Introducing stage 

----SETLIST---- 0:31 - Ever Changing 4:50 - Audience of One 8:43 - Swing Life Away

i swear. Everchanging feels like it was written describing the divorce and 10 year relationship that ended this year and im still going through it. It blows my mind how accurate it is. The first time i heard it- back in the early 2000s when i first discovered this band. Then i hear this version during the beginining of the end of it- and somehow , even though sad- it has helped me get through it

Everchanging -- this is my all time fav. song , it is so touching that I can't stop myself and I take my guitar and play it on and on and on and.......... just love it..

3 of my fav songs all done in wonderful acoustic

For me, a decade supporting fan of Rise Against, its kinda sad when I see that the fans know Audience of One more than Everchanging. RA fans, don't ever underestimate The Unraveling and Revolutions Per Minute. Those 2 albums are fucking masterpieces released on FAT records. To get to know RA better first start with those two albums and you'll see their maturation.

Everchanging is from their first album:The Unraveling.Audience of one is from Appeal to Reason and Swing Life Away is from Siren Song of the Counter Culture.Audience of One is more recent, that is why people know the lyrics.Most "fans" know only the more recent songs. You ask a wannabe fan of Rise Against about one of their song, the first thing they'll say is Prayer of the refugee or Make it stop. None will say 401 kill, The Unraveling, Anywhere but here, Behind closed doors or Under the knife.

I was there and had no idea this had happened - this would have made the weekend!!

'That's the closest thing to a solo that I do' 'TIM MCILRATH LADIES AND GENTLEMEN'

one of RA's best

Best Reading moment, and maybe best festival-moment ever

Epic!🖤

Jesus, just came here after 9 years to see if I could spot myself in the crowd and end up spotting (at 7:09) a close-up of some guy I later met at university! How small is this fucking world?

beautiful !

Zach’s reaction to the smoke machine is priceless.

Bassist plays a rythm guitar and that fuckin vocals..awesome, just awesome, need more

Thank you

amazing!

Last November was fucking mind blowing.

I agree completely; Revelutions Per Minute was probably one of the best albums i went out and bought, i say them back in 2009; they're fucking amazing live, it's nice to see another fan keeping the past RA alive! :3

sing along if you know the words. This ones called "swing life away"..... YYYAAAAAAAAAA

I'm proud to be one of the few.

Oh Tim loves it ;)

Survive was amazing i could see myself singing to swing life away :D lol

love my friend larry for showing me this video, bloody love Rise Against

love the Dethklok referance lol

"We play in Rise Agianst." yeah Tim....we know who you are!! fuckin bad ass

I think I saw myself... this was on the BBC Introducing stage, 30-40 mins after their main stage set. It was amazing...

Rise Again AMAIZING! This is a great acoustic version OMG!

Would give anything to hear this song live. I saw them live twice at Warped UK last year but they didn't play it

Tim: That's beautiful Zach! Zach: Thank you Tim! awh

I know,I know... but I feel the memories of friends and good things.

I love the acoustic version of Everchanging. If I was there I'd have been right at the front singing along to every word. Love it!

every time i listen RA i sing, sometimes even on streets))

Rise Against tiwce in one day.... IT WAS AWESOME. They have to make audience of one a regular.

I was at reading watched them on the main staged still gutted i missed them em on this stage! Seen em 3 times though so...

"That's beautiful zack."..."Thankyou Tim" lol

@x4AndAgainstx I was there, and I was singing my heart out if it makes you feel better.

Love the last album but praying like mad that they play classics like Swing Life Away, Paper Wings and Everchanging at Download this year :D

@RiseAgainstXIII yeh me too. last one I found was the nirvana cover which was really nice

oh my god - Zach's boots...

I saw them in November as they said

Todas as musicas lembram minha namorada

Everchanging -The song,that you remember the love ! Audience of one -The song with memories about friends and good things ! Swing life away -The song,that you fight for love !

though disappointed they cut hero of war i'm glad they didn't cut some others because i missed this on saturday :( i've never heard some of these acoustic sets

@ringishpil they were actually released on Fat Wreck Chords, but yeah, I agree.

@ringishpil i completely agree with you. its pretty sad to see that no one in the crowd was singing along to everchanging

So gutted I missed this ;_;

the first song that i hear of this band was paper wings, and then i download every album and now, i really love this band

"Rise Against - Swing Life Away" at the Song "Audience of One"... :D

I support the band from 2004 and RA is my fav. band. Tim is the best singer of the fucking world,but look at Brandon,Joe or Zach ! They are awesome and they need more respectation and fame !

Why haven't they done an Unplugged album yet?

10th time watching this, fucking great!

Fuck that crowd. Rise Against didn't sell out, the fans who only know/listen to the popular shit sold them out. Props to the 2 people who were singing along to Everchanging.

Introducing?! I've known these guys for like, ever!

8:45 note to self

he sounds quality when he sings high :)

wau *-*

I got to play the guitar that Zach is using for this performance. It plays so nicely, it's unreal.

It kills me that they didn't do this at Leeds Festival, damn you Reading!

same

swing life away

Dude, isn't the point of every new album that band gets new fans? I've never listened those older albums, but I will.. I've just recently heard about Rise Against on MTV 'cause in my country everything gets a little bit later than in other countries.And I'm that kind of new fans.. Respect to you and your loyalty towards Tim and guys :)

when they last play in glasgow cause iv been waitin ages for them 2 come

How could somebody push the Dislike button?! It is don't exists for me on this page for me!

RPM was the best of all the Rise Against albums

I like Zach's rain boots

i wish i knew this was happening. as much as i like offspring, i'd have killed to see rise against twice on both sets!

Musically they have changed a ton. They're not even the same genre really. They still have the same great message though, and are getting to a lot more people than they used to now that they're not hardcore.

RISE AGAINST!!! Awesome band but you already knew that.

Неужели я тут первый русскоговорящий! ^_^ Не знаю,что происходит, но поёт идеально!

@NURDERSCF Survive? Acoustic?! I HAVE TO see that, now!

06:56 hey, it's the man covering RA songs on youtube using his SG! including tip the scales!

They did it, just wasn't on this video. This is about a half of their act on this stage.

Yeah same, I had no idea this was even going on, saw em on the main stage, and wondered why they didn't do any acoustics >:(

yes it's the same! XD

cool shoes, Zach.

@stjimmy95 I meant the acoustic version...

Cinder2k7 I agree I've only been into rise against a few weeks after a friend of mine introduced me but now I own all their albums and I love all of them but if I saw them live tomorrow I wouldn't be able to sing all their songs, there are a lot of bands in the world and sadly its taken me a long time to work my way to rise against!

@ale15andra he did some amazing harmonizing notes it was quite well XD

@ohcrapitsandrew They're more of a rockband now, but check out their older stuff. Heaven Knows, Paper Wings, Sometimes Selling Out Is Giving Up, Six Ways 'Til Sunday. Those are punk and amazing songs. I much prefer them over the newer work, although I did enjoy Endgame.

three of my favorite songs! then again, what rise against song isn't my favorite?

@ringishpil Personally I enjoy Siren Song the most, but RPM is nearly perfect. The Unraveling has some amazing songs. Like....amazing. Alive and Well, Six Ways Til' Sunday, 401 Kill, 1000 Good Intentions, Reception Fades, Everchanging, Gethsemane...okay I'll stop now. :P But anyways, yea you're right those are some damn great albums, I wish newer fans (I've been a fan since around 2010 but I know all their stuff :D) would love these older songs as much as newer stuff!

08:57 Tim and Zach, they're soo romantic

They also played acoustic versions of Survive and Hero of war but those songs were cut probably due to the curses used.

@ringishpil Phat Wreck Chords, that's my only response. Those two albums are fantastic though.

That was "Everchanging", CROWD.

6:42 messed up haha aww, but still freakin awesome no complaints :P

I wondered why there was such a big crowd at BBC Introducing on Friday Afternoon

@RiseAgainstXIII lol I was thining a few seconds "rumors wtf is there a RA song I don't know yet...?" until I realized u mean rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggurated xDD

Lol, dethklok reference from zach in the start ? :O

I would have to personally say Revolutions Per Minute is my favorite RA album. Not too keen on the most recent one.

I hate how the crowd is pretty much dead during Everchanging. Its one of my favorites by them, and imo better than Audience of one and Swing (although they are great songs too!)

Does anybody know what exact model of gibson that is?? Zachs looks like an old gibson j-160e. But what about Tim's? It's my dream acoustic and I can't seem to find it anywhere

Most people in the UK have never heard the unraveling.

6:38 SPOILER ALERT ;)

if i went to see rise against live i would kill to hear everchanging among some other songs but i agree one of the best songs ever

@Cossfrack Half 6ish on the Friday. Looked liked a last-minute thing

06:56 Wally :O

Hey BBC, please upload the Song "Survive" !
