Skeleton (!!!)

The band came back on for a second encore and Kele gave the microphone to the fans at the front, saying they'd play whatever song was said first. To the relief of many, the first fan responded by chanting "Skeleton!". Well done that man...may you go down in the history books as the person who finally persuaded Bloc Party to perform 'Skeleton' live again. Watch some video evidence below...

Lollapalooza, Chicago, 01.08.08

Download Bloc Party's entire Lollapalooza set, performed last Friday night, after the jump (includes the first decent quality live recording of 'Mercury')!

"Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke looked like he was ready for a very political game of basketball. Dressed in brightly colored shorts, vintage Nikes and a Barack Obama T-shirt with the word “Progress” written on it, Okereke and his band managed to overcome some technical glitches and the absence of bassist Gordon Moakes (he’s at home with a new baby) to deliver a set of inspired stadium-sized dance riffs as the Chicago sun set. The band really clicked the new single “Mercury” (where Okereke sampled his own voice) and on the set-closing “Helicopter” (which was greeted as a true anthem). During some down time, Okereke even teased the opening riff of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box,” which was a knowing nod to Lollapalooza’s early-’90s roots." (Rolling Stone)

Leeds Cockpit, 10.12.07

Lucky NME lottery winners were last night treated to the first live outing for recent b-side 'Atonement', plus rare plays of 'The Marshals Are Dead' and 'Skeleton'. If it's any consolation, anyone who wasn't there can watch videos of the three tracks below!

You can catch Bloc Party at an enormodome near you over the next four days, and then the band take a very well-earned Christmas break.
