Went to the front for the first act - stayed for 4 hours to see him. Was 100% worth it screamed every lyric. As a massive Bowie and Elton fan he is the closest fresh LEGENDARY performer
HOLY FUCK YOU'RE LUCKY!! i keep coming back to this on youtube and can't get over how good it is. i fucking love you for that. I so see why you like him if you love bowie and elton. he's the real fucking deal.
Declan doesn't just grow up, but also upgrades, develops his music. Each of his performances is different and with a unique interpretation. I envy, nobly, all of you who have been to Declan McKenna's concert.💙
Never listened to this guy but was brought to his set by a couple of friends and was turned a fan by the end of it. Great experience and what a performer.
He’s Gen Z’s closest thing to Bowie and I’m here for it. Zeros blew me away as an album of modern glam pop/rock, and I feel like he’s only just beginning! Love Declan.
dec's so amazing, you can tell that his voice was tired cuz he changed some parts of the melody that went to high but that just makes it even more amazing. the guy can sing this song better than the studio version but he can recognize when it's not possible (probs cuz he had used his voice like hell befofe this part of the concert) and still puts on an awesome show, it doesn't sound strained at all.
@@g4kfjve7kfj34 two chords? Oh no friend, it is more than two chords. They are so great not because they can play their instrument well. Did you see their faces? They are enjoying this. Imagine the effort and practice they put into this song to change it. They were sooo excited for us to listen to this small change (which they nailed). And that expression and excitement makes other people feel like that too. So yeah AMAZING.
@@reginaislas9817 maybe so ,,but still doesn't make it rock, Reading is a Jazz/Rock festival ,Not a soft pretty lala weepy weepy church choir festival I really do blame the line up pickers , for this big mistake Where are Muse,, The Cure,, ???
@@g4kfjve7kfj34 His music is not rock, it is Indie Rock. I do understand your point of Muse and The Cure, but the festival selected this line up to make money, yk? Even though this rock bands are great, a lot of young people don’t listen to them. So it wouldn’t be good for the festival. Also maybe they are expensive to have idk. And for Declan, First of all, he is the most Rock singer there was in this festival (if I remember) and second he makes me think that if all the great rock bands were still as famous as they were (The Beatles, David Bowie, Queen, Elton John, etc, etc) this is the kind of music they would be realising. (Idk if it makes sense). Whatever, I recommend you to listen to all of his music :) his got great lyrics too.
Nice bits of Heart - 'How Can I Get You Alone' (Almost, slow version), Neil Innis - 'How Sweet To Be An Idiot', Beatles - 'A Day In The Life', Beatles - 'The End', Queen - 'Killer Queen' and Beatles (again) - 'Something', all mashed up with some 70's rock licks. When it worked before then use it. Declan McKenna fans are bringing back the good times.
@@zenozeno608 Oh yeah, the part with the piano made me goosebumps/and Isabel's guitar too-always/I like Declan in all variants, each of his performances is a unique improvisation, there is always something different. Our boy not only looking at the stars .. perhaps becomes one of them, already! True, KidBr. is a "sex symbol" And lastly, Excuse me for my words the other day 💙
@@vesselanew Jazz variation is nice and surprising, maybe not very suitable to the song... Ah, we would have had so much fun at the Declan concerts! Sigh 😢 also exciting to see him on stage with Sam Fender. Beautiful if they recorded something together. Even they're so different (Bowie/Springsteen), have similar ideas. I have to listen to more Orla's songs! For the rest, only communication problems.
Bravo Zeno! I really felt it like we were there ... and Declan and Sam and all the craziness atmosphere! I wrote a comment about DM here, that is, another communication platform
My youngest brother is likely in that crowd somewhere. Quite jealous of him beating me to see him live, and I have to wait until the end of September to see him in Birmingham.
WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW. WOW. WOWWWWWRHGEIUHEG damn shit ok i have never listened to this song of theirs before and i'm already so allured there is something so innate and natural about his songwriting it has an elton john vibe for sure, just really good storytelling and really just.. brilliant without even trying (or I can't tell anyway) his songs feel like they're already classics when I haven't heard them before damn so so happy to have live music back :) AND FUCKING GABI ON THE DRUMS KILLING IT and every single other person just WOOOOFFFFFHHH

@@asheij yeah I think a lot of people are there for the rap music and aren’t really interested in artists like declan, good atmosphere at the front though.
this is SO MUCH better than the studio version, the part where the piano goes all jazz had me in tears, this is amazing
@@g4kfjve7kfj34 huh
Yuppp you right 👍
Amazing artist, Zeroes was one of the best albums of 2020
No The Cure mid summer album was
Yeah!!!
@@g4kfjve7kfj34 nope it was the new strokes album
The more time passes the more this album looks important
@@VJ-ss7il The New Abnormal felt like a lifetime ago, crazy to think that was out last year!
never actively listened to this bloke before, but this set converted me to a fan
Right! He put out such an amazing performance. Imma go check out his songs😍

So glad his songs are finally getting recognition for their elton john style
Declan doesn't just grow up, but also upgrades, develops his music. Each of his performances is different and with a unique interpretation. I envy, nobly, all of you who have been to Declan McKenna's concert.💙
If you can ever get to one, i VERY highly recommend!!!
@@mitchelll5343 Thank you! 🤩🎸💯
i went to the brixton show on friday night and it was the best experience of my life, he really is incredible
3:28 The look on that drummer's face after that fill...just imagine how she must have been feeling there. What an incredible performance.
i absolutely LOVE the studio version but he NEEDS to release an alternate/live version with this breakdown
Never listened to this guy but was brought to his set by a couple of friends and was turned a fan by the end of it. Great experience and what a performer.
so lucky
I would give everything to see Declan live
Highly recommend seeing him irl this song genuinely had a few people around us sobbing it was truly magical
Deliciously Bowiesque!
Easily one of the best songs of the century.
He’s Gen Z’s closest thing to Bowie and I’m here for it. Zeros blew me away as an album of modern glam pop/rock, and I feel like he’s only just beginning!
Love Declan.
the song, the album is excellent. But this live is more than excellent it's precious, Declan is really amazing
Declan makes his songs in a simple yet beautiful way, I wish I could hear it live
Christ i really need a full set upload. honestly my favorite set of the weekend. high praise from someone who went to see brazil!

Phenominal talent. SO glad I've been able to see him play Bournemouth this week
Pathetic
@@g4kfjve7kfj34 is you
after I watched this I'm going to get myself a concert ticket for his tour, he's amazing
All his live music just takes his recorded ones to another realm.
I loved that cool interlude and the transition to the choruse
Wow he changed the later part,it’s amazing!!!
That bridge is unbelievable, and his voice just after it: madness!!!! 🤯 This man is pure talent!!!
And this here folks… this fucking here …is what a live show should be like!!!!!This here is real music and real raw talent.

It is so good. Omg
Declan has no right to be this talented a pianist on top of everything else

Cracking voice, very Bowie vibes
Daniel, do you remember?
You were in such a state
The boys that wait outside your house
Have got your number
And are not afraid to use it
They'll probably give it out
To anyone they see, including me
They'll probably make up your mind
As if you want them to
Oh, you (oh you)
Those boys tell you what to do
All the time
On, and then later on
You said I could be just what I wanted
They said you're lying (lying)
Well, you were born to be an astronaut
And you'll do that or die trying
What a way to live and die
And you wonder why boys will cry
Boys will be boys, they should listen
Do as their mothers tell them
If you know what's good for you
Behave yourself this time for me
If you know what's good for you
Don't lay around complaining all day
Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line
And they're not crying
On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong
And they'll say you're lying (lying)
But you were born to be an astronaut
And you'll do that or die trying
There'd be nothing wrong with it, oh
Oh, you waste your time
Come waste mine
Oh my, the boys that wait are on the line
And they're not crying
On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong
And they'll say you're lying
But you were born an astronaut
To do it or die trying
There'd be nothing wrong with it, ah
It just breaks my heart that I wasn't there 😭
❤️

i want to see him live so much im gonna puke and cry at the same time
