In honor of the long-awaited release of the Arctic Monkeys’ fifth studio album, AM, spend an hour and a half watching this special about their time at Glastonbury. Jo Whiley narrates a short introductory piece discussing the band’s history and their headling performance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage in 2007. Stick around for the band’s full performance at Glastonbury 2013.
The set features the first UK performances of two songs off AM, the opener ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ and ‘R U Mine?’ And the band concludes with a generous encore set including ‘Cornerstone’ and ‘Mardy Bum’ getting a semi-acoustic treatment with the addition of a string section. Miles Kane joins the band on stage for their final song, ‘505.’
Do I Wanna Know? | Brianstorm | Dancing Shoes | Don’t Sit Down ‘Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair | Teddy Picker | Crying Lightning | Brick By Brick | Fake Tales Of San Francisco | She’s Thunderstorms | Old Yellow Bricks | Pretty Visitors | I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor | Do Me A Favour | R U Mine? | Fluorescent Adolescent | A Certain Romance || encore: Cornerstone | Mardy Bum | When The Sun Goes Down | 505
The Arctic Monkeys portion of this video lasts for the first hour and thirty minutes (although there is an interview with Alex Turner starting at about 1:51), but if you keep watching you’ll see Katie Tunstall, Portishead, The Horrors (excellent performance of ‘Still Life’ at the 2:00 mark), Tame Impala (‘Elephant’), Miles Kane (‘Inhaler’ at the 2:19 mark), and Dinosaur Jr.
