Steve Durham is the drummer for Louis' band and is also the music producer for the tour and this album. He has been working with Louis since he started his solo career. It has been an incredible musical complement for Louis to find the sound he sought for a long time. Louis wanted this album to be a collaboration between him and his fans and Steve achieved the perfect combination. Louis, his Louies and his band sounds incredible.
Established singer creates his own music festival? No one does that. Louis: watch me! Live album but each song is from a different show all over the world? That doesn't exist. Louis: I'm doing it!! I love so much that he doesn't care to follow what's been done before, no one is doing it like him 😍🤩
100% agree Steven, it was genius to use different shows for the live performances. It really captures the live show experience in such a unique way and showcases the passion, energy and love the fans have for him. And this album is his thank you to all of us. It is quite literally one of THEE best live albums I've ever heard (and I've heard quite a few in my lifetime). Masterfully done. And as always, love your reactions. You are one of us and it shows.
It's definitely my favorite Louis' album. Hands down. I saw him a few times live and he was simply born to be on stage and perform. I'm also lucky to be Louis' backup singer for Silver tongues on this album ;) I still haven't decided yet if it's OOMS intro or Fearless drums/guitar solo that's gonna become my new religion because I worship them pretty much equaly. In terms of the idea, production, music, basicly everything this album is perfect. BTW I love your reaction and how exited you are for him 🤩
One more thing. There’s a line that n Walls that has become a fan favorite - and could be one of his best phrases yet: “For every question why, you were my because.” Of course, we all point at him as he lets us sing “you are my because” on our own. 💙
Totally agree, this is the best introduction to Louis. His sound is phenomenal live, his band and crew are beyond talented. A Louis gig is for the music, not a performance.
Louis loves Saturdays and the Fan Project for this song in Paris was everything and he loved it so, so much 🥹 and chose the live version from that show for this album!!! 💗
This is so clever bc people who will listen to him for the first time will wonder what he's talking about, look on the internet and find the project 💙💙💙✨️
I burst into tears when I heard his reaction to the fan project in the album because this show was one of the happiest and most emotional moments of my entire life! Knowing that I was in the crowd is just an unmatchable feeling I’m so freaking proud of him 🤍
I love watching others appreciate LOUIS as much as this! This album is AMAZING. And to give us a LIVE version just shows how much Louis loves his fans!
Louis sounds soo good. Him releasing a live album is a big thing we know he was so insecure about his voice but now his confidence has grown so much. I love this album and thank you for your reaction!!
Michael Blackwell is the solo guitarist and he fucking owns all the solos on live!! He also sings so check out his new singles! They’re incredible ❤ Also listening to the main man live is an experience everyone should have! He definitely is the best!
I think we all are collectively drowning the the extreme love and the feeling of Pride in Louis Tomlinson that it's beyond our control now!!!!! I mean Look at this Live Album people!!!!!? WHO SAID THIS MAN CAN'T SING!!!!! This is the true testament to his Achievement in his Solo Career. How grateful I am that he continued to pursue what his heart wanted
I was at 3 of these shows and I’m so happy the world can hear what I’ve been saying! Louis Tomlinson sounds better live than in studio recordings. His voice is unique, exquisite and a treat for both ears and souls
Louis sounds so incredible. I love his voice but now that I hear him in this live album I love him even more. His band is just so good. Now I really want to see him live. Love your videos too!
This album is truely Louis' love letter to all his fans. We are in a constant battle with him who loves who the most 😄 Loved your reaction Steve and I really hope you'll get to see Louis live some day! Btw. "We Made It" was the opening song for LTWT, so the energy for that song is as great as for The Greatest (if not even more, because we waited years for him to finally go on tour)
This album is incredible. It captures all the beauty of Louis' show: Louis' voice, louies voices, backup vocals, each instrument, but also each moment of emotion is there: Paris light show, "you where my because", the sitting during All this time, the barricade.... Also he can play in front of the biggest crowd, he will always gives you a sense of intimacy that makes you shiver. And the fact that it's recorded in the whole world gives the feeling of one big heart beating made of millions hearts.
Was sobbing in O2, and sobbed when I heard first beats on this album and Louis is ethereal and Steve is killing it and Michael is shreading and we are screaming our lungs out. Its like being home again. Thank you, Loubear!
Louis Tomlinson & his Louies. This album IS like being at a concert again. The bridge for HOTH always goes that hard! Also, We Made It was the tour opener for LTWT so it has the same energy as The Greatest. The cd will have High in California & his cover of Where Do Broken Hearts Go. 💙💙
Loved this reaction!!! Louis putting songs from different shows also shows how consistent he is as a vocalist. Like, you really need to sound good at every single show in order to be able to do what he has done with this album. This is literally the best live album I've ever listened to. Louis literally said that fitf was made for live shows and that's why this album sounds even better than the studio one. My man is a true rockstar🔥
I’ve seen him live twice and this album is exactly what it’s like to see him live, it gives me chills! You have to see him!! Your review of him was everything!❤
As Louis said in his Instagram Post "This Is A Collaboration Between Me and You" 😭😭😭😭😭 This is the best Love Album I have heard in my entire life. It shows how Louis said Touring is Everything for Him
And I specifically want to give you the lore behind Saturdays in Paris. Fans organized a fan project using an app that displayed undulating rainbow lights, and he was so blown away, he asked fans to do it again on another tour stop. Which is why he says it looks good from where he's standing 🥹
Steve (His Drummer) produced this Album and SMASHED it. The Live Drums and Micheal Slaying Those Guitars with Louis Vocals, Live Band Performance, Harmonies and FUCKING LIVE CROWDS - This is the best thing that Louis has released!!!!!! We are unwell at the quality of this Live Album
I was at his Brisbane show and my blood pressure nearly buried me but it was worth it. Listening to it on this album and hearing that we gave the love makes mme so proud. Louis has made us part of his world and we love him for it. The band give everything theyve got to and Steve matches Louis energy and has done a magnificent job with this album. Love adoring Louis right beside you Steve thanks for this 💙💙💙💙🥑😂
The whole band, engeneering, the director and also drummer and of course the crowds are incredible, but the screens, the lights, and the whole thing at the lives are so awesome, you absolutely need to live that experience
Stephen I’m so greatful for your incredibly timely reaction and all of your comments and love for Louis! This brings me back right there to those moments in time at his shows. It’s transformative. This really is as close to a Concert order as well. Yes holding on the heart ache is so special in concert. FITF for the stage and so was Louis. One huge dance party and I dare you not just sing the whole show with him! It just flows out of you. One of the best feelings about seeing Louis live is this conflicted feeling where you wanna jump dance and sing, but there’s this feeling inside when you watch and listen and you’re just hit so hard because you can’t take it in and hardly understand how he sounds so incredible! You don’t know what to do with all of that emotion in the moment. I hope you get your special concert moment as well. You look great and sound great and I’m so happy for you. Fearless is a whole new experience, as he runs off stage towards the end and Michael picks up and slays that incredible guitar solo and Louis returns for the final vocals! And one of the specialists moments really is Saturdays. The whole first half is him on stage right with just a spotlight and one single hanging lightbulb hanging down towards his head while the rest of the stage is completely dark. And then of course as it ramps up with the band and the lights come up on stage, these intentional moments he creates just drive you crazy. What a ride! Thank you so much Louis, live is how you were meant to be heard and for giving so much back to your fans. 💙✌️🤍🫶🏻
What I love other than it sounds amazing and is a GREAT way to remember forever the tours, is that he always tries to include as many fans as he can, most artist will do the live version just in one country probably US or Europe, but he recording this in every continent, on top of touring all continents at his first tour, is super special, that's why we will always back him up. (Can't believe I'm screaming "you are my because" to him on the album haha)
I’ve been to one show (in Paris so Saturdays hits so close to home) and I literally couldn’t stop shaking, crying and smiling while listening to the album for the first time because it feels exactly like being in the crowd When i finished it I didn’t know what to do because I felt the post-concert nostalgia I am SO proud of him for getting confident enough to release a live album because he really deserves recognition for his live vocals
He posted a video on IG about the festival he headlined in Mexico and the tour promo he did in Latam!!! 💗 So excited to see him here back in Latam in less than a week!!! 🤩
I was waiting for thissss!!! Love that you so get that special Louis/louies love. This album is absolutely like being at a show; the quality of his voice live is incredibly special, and the band shines so much as well. I’ve only been able to be at four shows so far, but each one has been a life experience.
I saw you react to 'grateful' in Chicago and I immediately knew what you were going to say - because I had the exact same reaction! :D Paused the video there, but your reaction has been amazing so far!
Thank you for this review! You are just like the rest of us when I say that we are OBSESSED with him and the masterpieces he creates!!! Louis and his entire team absolutely ROCKS!!! Tell me I'm wrong, I'll fight you, LOL!!!!
For having the chance to see Louis a few times during Faith In The Future World Tour, this album brings back so many memories. Flights, early queuing to get a good spot with friends, with strangers (some becoming friends). Louis is such a clever song-writer, he's amazing on stage. Making this album with so many different places and make it seems it's like the same show... Steve he's the best. You can hear the love and feel the energy of the fans is so irrevocably the same all over over the world, it's insane. Isaac, Michael (BEST GUITAR SOLOS), Matt, Zak, Steve... His band is incredebly talented, Louis knows how to surround himself with good people and it shows in everything he does. In my opinion, that's THE thing that makes him the best of them all and that he has such a strong fan base. I hope you'll get the chance to see him live one day ♥
I enjoyed this video so, so much. Was right there with you and you jamming out, appreciating Louis and his band the entire time! And your reactions and thoughts to Walls had me crying in the most beautiful cathartic of ways.
Three of Louis band - Matt the bassist, Isaac the rhythm guitarist and Michael, the lead guitarist, are all solo artists in their own right, with beautiful voices - it's one reason the backing vocals sound so amazing. Steve Durham on drums produced this album and is also Louis's musical director - he's seriously accomplished and really knows what he's doing. The mixing, though, is just fabulous, balancing the tender voice with the crowd.
I could write for hours how F*amazing this album is,but in a nutshell: The idea of this album- F* great!!! Luis smashed it!!! His band smashed it!!! Sound,mixing is just not from this world!!! If u have never been on L' s show...go! It will be the best day of your life!💙 THE BEST ALBUM OF THIS YEAR FOR SURE!
I'm so unreasonably proud to be in one of the crowds on this album... I went into 2023 thinking my last live concert was behind me (I'm in my 40s), but then I got to experience Harry in Frankfurt and Louis in Munich (even went to my first festival in decades). It was so great! And all of this started with Louis. I saw, he was touring and would be coming to Germany and I really, really wanted to see him live. So, I bought the ticket. Just like this. It felt so good! And I will always be grateful for that!
Love that! And about the age no such thing as too old I'll be 54 next time and I still go into the floor in conserts including heavy metal with my electric wheelchair... ( have MS) my hero from when I was a kid was a Jazz singer called Maxine o Sullivan She was performing in clubs and touring the world until think last time I meet her 91 or 92 years old ...thing is if you love music live your life whilst you have it, those moments when we feel most alive
@@annaolsson5441 Thank you for your kind words! I was in a bad place (mentally) the last few years and then my body kept throwing little problems at me. Nothing major, but persistent and painful. Additionally, my favourite band kept getting older too. They're talking about retiring. And when I couldn't go to one of their concerts because of one of my little health problems, I thought "This was it. My last chance to see them is gone." Like I said, I was not in a good place... But then in September of 2022 I found Louis and I really liked his music. And I really, really liked his positive vibes. It made me want to go to a concert. He made me rediscover a part of me I thought I lost.
You are absolutely correct that his voice got so much more confident from he started touring and tik now. Starting out I could be hard to hear him for the fans but it is not a problem anymore 💙
This album is Louis' first collaboration with anyone and he chose us, his fans, he needs us as much as we need him. Este álbum es la primera colaboración de Louis con alguien y nos ha elegido a nosotros, sus fans, nos necesita tanto como nosotros a él. ✨
Thanku for share I'm biggest fan Louis Tomlinson from Phillippines even starting xfactor all my attention Louis because to be honestly Louis killing eyes completely package sweet face sweet voice of ground of ID my numbers 1 idol souch talented even hosting I wish do also the movie back again Phillippines concert I frist watch concert the ground and also solo concert all my family and friends watching o my god so kinda person and handsome 💚 💙 meaningful I'm proud and I always support I want to buy the VIP tickets so much excited even reunion of ID 🆔
Thank you so much for your great review. Your words pay a beautiful tribute to a great artist. For someone like me who has not been able to see him live, listening to this live version is so good.
As always, Steven is a hype man for Louis and we love that! He's wonderful live and I hope you can see him and be there in person soon. I was lucky to be at the Paris show and I had an amazing time (though I was a bit nervous because that day there were terror attacks threats in Paris, several places had to be evacuated, including a place not far from the venue, and until I left to go to the show I didn't know if I would end up going) I was able to relax enough to enjoy the show once I was in the room thankfully. Hearing the whole thing live gave me goosebumps just remembering how it felt to be there, the intro especially brought back that feeling of anticipation of waiting for him to arrive on stage. I love how they were able to retranscribe all that in the live recordings. I wish it was a live DVD as well.
Thank you so much for expressing the love I have for Louis and his music thru your post! You are so enthusiastic and appreciative of the music, it’s awesome to see!
Listening to this album brings me back to watching him live. The emotion from Louis’ vocals, the lyrics, the energy from the crowds- perfection! Knowing I’m one of screaming fans singing Chicago in Chicago and Common People in Sheffield- incredible memories! ❤️🖤❤️🖤
I love the gitar in the concerts, thank you for your reaction. i learfn english and i can undertand almost everything meanwhile i listen music and my favorite artist lou
Dude that guitar solo from Michael in Fearless has been my ringtone since his livestream back in 2020! It got me soooo hyped for the tour and actually hearing it live in concert a few years later was the BEST thing ever! I was always so sad that we didn’t have the instrumental solos on a recorded version but now we do and life suddenly makes sense hahaha
This album is a work of art. It's the most meaningful gift he and his band could give us outside meeting them in person or attending the concert itself
You pegged much of how I feel about the LIVE album. I loved how you responded to his low notes in Fearless. Me too! 🥵 Damn. Unfortunately, Louis is not very active when he’s on stage. He doesn’t move a lot, which is really surprising and sad to me, but I hope that that will come with time. I suspect he’s been told so long about how not to move and dance that now he’s just not doing it at all. He does, however, semi crowd dive at the end of singing Silver tongues, and he leans into the audience. He has lost his shirt on several occasions before he had to tell the fans to chill out. Great. Thank you for loving him as much as I do.
Totally agree about seeing Louis move and dance. Although he moves to different parts of the stage, during the wall tour he danced more to the sides and back. And he even got into dance moments with the band!!!!!
Love what you said about the Crowd in Rio, something really intresting about Brazilian crowds is that only 5% of the population speaks english, but if you watch a video of any artist performing in brazil you'll see how everyone just loves to scream the lyrics. I would recomend you react to the (iconic) video of The 1985 Rock in Rio where Queen performed love of my life
It's always wonderful to hear you talk about Louis, the admiration and how much you enjoy it. This album for me is something that he has always wanted to do, FITF was made to be heard live and it is a gift for the fans, choosing a song from each place unites us because we are all there for Louis. It makes me feel special that I was at the Barcelona show and now it is part of an album and yes, when listening to this album you feel like you are in one of his shows, I am glad that you were able to enjoy the experience of Louis and his wonderful band.
I am hugging you with all of my love as I get tò understand the longing in your Heart tò partecipate at HIS concerts. I' Ve seen him in Turin. My husband bought tickets and then HE,too, fell in love with Louis After this concert. I stood still all through the concert out of fear of loosing One Blink of his eyes or breath he used in playing in front of me. I'm 47, my husband Is 61 and we are now both in love with this fantastic child
I really like Louis but this record is in another level, the energy I gain after listening to it it’s f indescribable, a genius move was to release this live album 🙌🏻
I am nearly 44 and this live album is running up and down on my way to and from work. I am so sad I wasn't able to see him live last year. Louis voice is on point love the whole album a lot
This Live Album is EXTREMELY AMAZING so much more than the Actual Faith in the Future Album. And That Album was the best love of my life. My lineline..... NOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS ONE??????? I AM LOSING IT OVER THIS LIVE VERSION 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
35:18 yes he says all the time touring is his favorite part of the job, he is very aware he said he wrote this album specifically for live shows, that was exactly his intention and now finally it's fulfilled. Finished version of FITF is this
You should come to Mexico, 🇲🇽 June 1st. They’re only a few more tickets left. Love your review, Louis’s band is amazing and Lou is killing it!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤💙💙💙💞💞💞💋💋💋💫💫💫💫💕💕💕🎤🎤💞💞💞💙💙💙
I have heard Louis music from his records and wasn’t sure if his vocal was that strong. Went to his show in Copenhagen and was so surprised by how great his voice sound IRL and the band 🤩
10:30 That's actually the correct pronunciation!! P.S. As someone who was at that show, let me tell you HOTH was one of the songs during which I could hardly hear Louis over the crowd 😌
FITF is an album that I play every week. The fact that the live album is even better, I cannot begin to explain what’s happening at my house right now. Everybody is drumming at our house. Louis’ love letter to the fans needs to win awards. Are there awards for sound mixing because this album deserves everything!!! Perfect drums, guitars, Lou’s vocals, backing vocals, fan vocals. The energy is such a vibe.
Steve Durham is the drummer for Louis' band and is also the music producer for the tour and this album. He has been working with Louis since he started his solo career. It has been an incredible musical complement for Louis to find the sound he sought for a long time. Louis wanted this album to be a collaboration between him and his fans and Steve achieved the perfect combination. Louis, his Louies and his band sounds incredible.
Established singer creates his own music festival? No one does that.
Louis: watch me!
Live album but each song is from a different show all over the world? That doesn't exist.
Louis: I'm doing it!!
I love so much that he doesn't care to follow what's been done before, no one is doing it like him 😍🤩
The mixing is incredible - you can hear Louis, backup vocals, the instruments and the fans. All in perfect relation to each other.
This album is a hug from Louis to all his Louies
The back vocals are the band, specially Isaac Anderson and Michael Blackwell, they both have solo carreers and are amazing singers.
Matt dinge on bass
"I'd buy that man an avocado"
OK, I cracked up. And I love that you know and recognize when he is absolutely smirk smiling at the end of a line
100% agree Steven, it was genius to use different shows for the live performances. It really captures the live show experience in such a unique way and showcases the passion, energy and love the fans have for him. And this album is his thank you to all of us.

I NEED to see steven at a louis show with the sign "Can i do a stage dive?"
Petition please😂
Totally agree, this is the best introduction to Louis. His sound is phenomenal live, his band and crew are beyond talented. A Louis gig is for the music, not a performance.
Louis loves Saturdays and the Fan Project for this song in Paris was everything and he loved it so, so much 🥹 and chose the live version from that show for this album!!! 💗
Yes I was there too and it was so special! I love that he chose that show specifically for saturdays
This is so clever bc people who will listen to him for the first time will wonder what he's talking about, look on the internet and find the project 💙💙💙✨️
@@bluemelody... I am not sure many of us were actually watching the stage, we were all so mesmerized by the whole room around us.
I burst into tears when I heard his reaction to the fan project in the album because this show was one of the happiest and most emotional moments of my entire life!
Knowing that I was in the crowd is just an unmatchable feeling
I’m so freaking proud of him 🤍

And he has said that his next album will be along the lines of Out Of My System and Silver Tongues and I'm so excited, as a punk/emo kid at heart
This album is truely Louis' love letter to all his fans. We are in a constant battle with him who loves who the most 😄
Loved your reaction Steve and I really hope you'll get to see Louis live some day!
Btw. "We Made It" was the opening song for LTWT, so the energy for that song is as great as for The Greatest (if not even more, because we waited years for him to finally go on tour)
Steve is the drummer and musical director!!! 👏 He did a wonderful job!!! 🫶
He added a message on the screens to thank the fans before The Greatest started at The O2 in London!!! 🥹
Louis said that the music he made is thinking about live concerts and it is really beautiful
This album is incredible. It captures all the beauty of Louis' show: Louis' voice, louies voices, backup vocals, each instrument, but also each moment of emotion is there: Paris light show, "you where my because", the sitting during All this time, the barricade....
Also he can play in front of the biggest crowd, he will always gives you a sense of intimacy that makes you shiver.
And the fact that it's recorded in the whole world gives the feeling of one big heart beating made of millions hearts.
Was sobbing in O2, and sobbed when I heard first beats on this album and Louis is ethereal and Steve is killing it and Michael is shreading and we are screaming our lungs out. Its like being home again. Thank you, Loubear!
Louis Tomlinson & his Louies. This album IS like being at a concert again. The bridge for HOTH always goes that hard! Also, We Made It was the tour opener for LTWT so it has the same energy as The Greatest.

We saw him live in Glasgow last year, best night of my life!
This album is a completely a masterpiece from his first song the greatest, automatically transport you to his concert and it is f*cking incredible
As Louis said in his Instagram Post "This Is A Collaboration Between Me and You" 😭😭😭😭😭 This is the best Love Album I have heard in my entire life. It shows how Louis said Touring is Everything for Him
I like the way you wrote lOve instead of live
And I specifically want to give you the lore behind Saturdays in Paris. Fans organized a fan project using an app that displayed undulating rainbow lights, and he was so blown away, he asked fans to do it again on another tour stop. Which is why he says it looks good from where he's standing 🥹
BEAUTIFUL GLOBAL ALBUM AND LOVE LETTER BETWEEN LOUIS AND HIS FANS 💞

I am SO proud of him for getting confident enough to release a live album because he really deserves recognition for his live vocals
you just became one of my favourite people ever! you understand louis so well, and as a louie that’s so important even to me
The band are amazing from guitars, drums & backing vocals. Killed it every night!
He posted a video on IG about the festival he headlined in Mexico and the tour promo he did in Latam!!! 💗 So excited to see him here back in Latam in less than a week!!! 🤩
I was waiting for thissss!!! Love that you so get that special Louis/louies love. This album is absolutely like being at a show; the quality of his voice live is incredibly special, and the band shines so much as well. I’ve only been able to be at four shows so far, but each one has been a life experience.

"This is his victory lap". Yes, lad!
cant believe he included my concert in this and in the most special song :')!!! argentinaaaa
I love Louis' voice, it's awesome! I love this album!
Thank you for this review! You are just like the rest of us when I say that we are OBSESSED with him and the masterpieces he creates!!! Louis and his entire team absolutely ROCKS!!! Tell me I'm wrong, I'll fight you, LOL!!!!
For having the chance to see Louis a few times during Faith In The Future World Tour, this album brings back so many memories. Flights, early queuing to get a good spot with friends, with strangers (some becoming friends). Louis is such a clever song-writer, he's amazing on stage. Making this album with so many different places and make it seems it's like the same show... Steve he's the best. You can hear the love and feel the energy of the fans is so irrevocably the same all over over the world, it's insane. Isaac, Michael (BEST GUITAR SOLOS), Matt, Zak, Steve... His band is incredebly talented, Louis knows how to surround himself with good people and it shows in everything he does. In my opinion, that's THE thing that makes him the best of them all and that he has such a strong fan base.
I hope you'll get the chance to see him live one day ♥
So glad ur really a louie..
Love ur support for him
I enjoyed this video so, so much. Was right there with you and you jamming out, appreciating Louis and his band the entire time! And your reactions and thoughts to Walls had me crying in the most beautiful cathartic of ways.
You might not have been to see him live, but as someone that did this album is like being back there. I'm so happy I'm crying x
Three of Louis band - Matt the bassist, Isaac the rhythm guitarist and Michael, the lead guitarist, are all solo artists in their own right, with beautiful voices - it's one reason the backing vocals sound so amazing. Steve Durham on drums produced this album and is also Louis's musical director - he's seriously accomplished and really knows what he's doing. The mixing, though, is just fabulous, balancing the tender voice with the crowd.
I could write for hours how F*amazing this album is,but in a nutshell:
The idea of this album- F* great!!!
Luis smashed it!!!
His band smashed it!!!
Sound,mixing is just not from this world!!!
If u have never been on L' s show...go! It will be the best day of your life!💙
THE BEST ALBUM OF THIS YEAR FOR SURE!
I'm so unreasonably proud to be in one of the crowds on this album...
I went into 2023 thinking my last live concert was behind me (I'm in my 40s), but then I got to experience Harry in Frankfurt and Louis in Munich (even went to my first festival in decades). It was so great!
And all of this started with Louis. I saw, he was touring and would be coming to Germany and I really, really wanted to see him live. So, I bought the ticket. Just like this. It felt so good! And I will always be grateful for that!
Love that! And about the age no such thing as too old I'll be 54 next time and I still go into the floor in conserts including heavy metal with my electric wheelchair... ( have MS) my hero from when I was a kid was a Jazz singer called Maxine o Sullivan She was performing in clubs and touring the world until think last time I meet her 91 or 92 years old ...thing is if you love music live your life whilst you have it, those moments when we feel most alive
Me and my husband are 47 and 61 and both of US Simply Adore the child
@@annaolsson5441 Thank you for your kind words!
I was in a bad place (mentally) the last few years and then my body kept throwing little problems at me. Nothing major, but persistent and painful. Additionally, my favourite band kept getting older too. They're talking about retiring. And when I couldn't go to one of their concerts because of one of my little health problems, I thought "This was it. My last chance to see them is gone." Like I said, I was not in a good place...
But then in September of 2022 I found Louis and I really liked his music. And I really, really liked his positive vibes. It made me want to go to a concert. He made me rediscover a part of me I thought I lost.
You are absolutely correct that his voice got so much more confident from he started touring and tik now. Starting out I could be hard to hear him for the fans but it is not a problem anymore 💙
This album is Louis' first collaboration with anyone and he chose us, his fans, he needs us as much as we need him.
Este álbum es la primera colaboración de Louis con alguien y nos ha elegido a nosotros, sus fans, nos necesita tanto como nosotros a él. ✨
The way I have been WAITING for this!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Album is beyond amazing. Your reaction is all of us celebrating it.
I was wating for this 😌
You have to see him live is like a whole vibe in there of pure love for that man 🫶🏽

I can now say that I'm on an album with Louis Tomlinson😏 Absolutely love this album and I'm so happy the Megamix is from the Munich show I got to see
Thank you so much for your great review. Your words pay a beautiful tribute to a great artist. For someone like me who has not been able to see him live, listening to this live version is so good.
As always, Steven is a hype man for Louis and we love that! He's wonderful live and I hope you can see him and be there in person soon. I was lucky to be at the Paris show and I had an amazing time (though I was a bit nervous because that day there were terror attacks threats in Paris, several places had to be evacuated, including a place not far from the venue, and until I left to go to the show I didn't know if I would end up going) I was able to relax enough to enjoy the show once I was in the room thankfully. Hearing the whole thing live gave me goosebumps just remembering how it felt to be there, the intro especially brought back that feeling of anticipation of waiting for him to arrive on stage. I love how they were able to retranscribe all that in the live recordings. I wish it was a live DVD as well.
This album is a banger!
Thank you for posting it here too!!! 💗
This album is extraordinary!!! ✨
Thank you so much for expressing the love I have for Louis and his music thru your post! You are so enthusiastic and appreciative of the music, it’s awesome to see!
He wrote FITF with the full intention to play live and he nailed it!
I see Louis, I see Steve, I click it
Listening to this album brings me back to watching him live. The emotion from Louis’ vocals, the lyrics, the energy from the crowds- perfection! Knowing I’m one of screaming fans singing Chicago in Chicago and Common People in Sheffield- incredible memories!
❤️🖤❤️🖤
I see Louis Tomlinson, I click
I love the gitar in the concerts, thank you for your reaction. i learfn english and i can undertand almost everything meanwhile i listen music and my favorite artist lou
Keep on studying😂
Listening makes me relive my shows. It’s so good!
The best live album 🎸✨️
Oh Steven you get it so much!! This album is like a giant hug and it's bringing us back to the tour. It is like we are there again
Dude that guitar solo from Michael in Fearless has been my ringtone since his livestream back in 2020! It got me soooo hyped for the tour and actually hearing it live in concert a few years later was the BEST thing ever! I was always so sad that we didn’t have the instrumental solos on a recorded version but now we do and life suddenly makes sense hahaha
You look like a child with a new toy, that's how we are 😊
This album is a work of art. It's the most meaningful gift he and his band could give us outside meeting them in person or attending the concert itself
You pegged much of how I feel about the LIVE album. I loved how you responded to his low notes in Fearless. Me too! 🥵 Damn. Unfortunately, Louis is not very active when he’s on stage. He doesn’t move a lot, which is really surprising and sad to me, but I hope that that will come with time. I suspect he’s been told so long about how not to move and dance that now he’s just not doing it at all. He does, however, semi crowd dive at the end of singing Silver tongues, and he leans into the audience. He has lost his shirt on several occasions before he had to tell the fans to chill out. Great. Thank you for loving him as much as I do.
Totally agree about seeing Louis move and dance. Although he moves to different parts of the stage, during the wall tour he danced more to the sides and back. And he even got into dance moments with the band!!!!!
Love what you said about the Crowd in Rio, something really intresting about Brazilian crowds is that only 5% of the population speaks english, but if you watch a video of any artist performing in brazil you'll see how everyone just loves to scream the lyrics. I would recomend you react to the (iconic) video of The 1985 Rock in Rio where Queen performed love of my life
It's always wonderful to hear you talk about Louis, the admiration and how much you enjoy it. This album for me is something that he has always wanted to do, FITF was made to be heard live and it is a gift for the fans, choosing a song from each place unites us because we are all there for Louis. It makes me feel special that I was at the Barcelona show and now it is part of an album and yes, when listening to this album you feel like you are in one of his shows, I am glad that you were able to enjoy the experience of Louis and his wonderful band.
LOUIS & LOUIES UN SOLO CORAZON
Yeah his band is full so singers so they’re his backing vocals although he does have pre recorded backing vocals of himself too
I am hugging you with all of my love as I get tò understand the longing in your Heart tò partecipate at HIS concerts. I' Ve seen him in Turin. My husband bought tickets and then HE,too, fell in love with Louis After this concert. I stood still all through the concert out of fear of loosing One Blink of his eyes or breath he used in playing in front of me. I'm 47, my husband Is 61 and we are now both in love with this fantastic child
I really like Louis but this record is in another level, the energy I gain after listening to it it’s f indescribable, a genius move was to release this live album 🙌🏻
thank you so much for this video i love your louis videos so much ❤
This album is my favourite thing that Louis has ever done. And i think this is my favourite reaction video that you have done.
I am nearly 44 and this live album is running up and down on my way to and from work. I am so sad I wasn't able to see him live last year. Louis voice is on point love the whole album a lot
This Live Album is EXTREMELY AMAZING so much more than the Actual Faith in the Future Album. And That Album was the best love of my life. My lineline..... NOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS ONE??????? I AM LOSING IT OVER THIS LIVE VERSION 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
35:58 "this is how I wanna introduce Louis to people" YES !!! This album is such a great advert for who he is
35:18 yes he says all the time touring is his favorite part of the job, he is very aware he said he wrote this album specifically for live shows, that was exactly his intention and now finally it's fulfilled. Finished version of FITF is this
Good for us that you love Louis🥹
Love you💋
Thanks for the reaction! This was an awesome live album and I loved how it took us to all these different so places seamlessly. ❤
You should come to Mexico, 🇲🇽 June 1st. They’re only a few more tickets left. Love your review, Louis’s band is amazing and Lou is killing it!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤💙💙💙💞💞💞💋💋💋💫💫💫💫💕💕💕🎤🎤💞💞💞💙💙💙
I have heard Louis music from his records and wasn’t sure if his vocal was that strong. Went to his show in Copenhagen and was so surprised by how great his voice sound IRL and the band 🤩
Have been waiting for a reaction to this album since it came out. Loved it. Thank you ❤
10:30 That's actually the correct pronunciation!!
P.S. As someone who was at that show, let me tell you HOTH was one of the songs during which I could hardly hear Louis over the crowd 😌
FITF is an album that I play every week. The fact that the live album is even better, I cannot begin to explain what’s happening at my house right now. Everybody is drumming at our house. Louis’ love letter to the fans needs to win awards. Are there awards for sound mixing because this album deserves everything!!! Perfect drums, guitars, Lou’s vocals, backing vocals, fan vocals. The energy is such a vibe.
