This version, or outro should 100% have been on the album. Like an 8min champagne supernova

As a body paint outro collectioner, I might say that this is the most explosive version. Matt is just epic!

[struanrobertson]

I'm 60 years old and have seen more bands live than I can remember. Quite a few at Glastonbury. How anyone can knock this show is beyond me. Truly a master class of a live performance.

I'm glad Alex Turner managed to play Glasto with his recent illness. It was Nice watching the band having his back (Matt checking on him, the glass of water, etc)

[benmurray]

Can’t believe some people hated on this performance because he doesn’t sing the songs like he’s 20 anymore, it’s called evolving as an artist and I thought it was brilliant.

[leivyashin]

The live version of Body Paint is amazing 🔥

[johnromano]

Matt Helders a beast! His syncopation is absolutely perfect, and he puts his soul into it. Not since Dave Ghrol have the drums looked so good

[tommcghee]

Best lyric of the whole album… “and if you’re thinking of me, I’m probably thinking of you.”

[Paquirris_um]

3:44 "That rock'n'roll, it just won't go away. It might hibernate from time to time, and sink back into the swamp."

[adamcunningham]

If this was the rolling stones and recorded in 1977 with a grainy camera, people would be hailing it a classic, but because we now have the internet people want to criticize absolutely every evolution a band makes.

[LordFata]

"She's so heavy" vibes, what an outro. I wish they'd do the iconic Beatles song one day, could be magic

[CrustinHoffman]

Man, I don’t care what anybody says, I went there thinking they had lost their way and was relying on nostalgia, but after this set, I get it. Whole performance was absolutely phenomenal, especially the change in tempo and the transitions between the old tunes and the new ones. I felt like they slowed down so we could catch up. Some got it, some didn’t, I for one am in love with them again ❤

[TimSenna]

As a long term fan I've gotta say I just adore the new Arctic Monkeys songs. Of course it's a different sound but all the best bands evolve & everything off the Car is pure poetry with the most beautiful instrumentals I've ever heard from AM

To the people of the future:
I don't know how many years later you will be watching this video, but you should know that we are living in a time when Arctic Monkeys performs Body Paint.

[surfguy]

This is what they mean. One of their finest live performances in years. Mature melodic pop spilling-over into "warts and all" rock'n'roll. They're the best in generations.

[BiancaSanches_]

Alex is so dedicated to his work. It's admirable and inspiring to witness his strength and how much he honors his fans. And that's why I'm one of them!

[sebas]

THE FINAL SOLO WAS AMAZING, honestly it gives me goosebumps seeing them perfom tbhc and the car song in glastonbury, it doesnt feels correct but is amazing asf

[kamiltomas]

Wtf that solo and the emotions coming from it that Alex conveys. Speechless

[nicolasm]

Now that's a performance! What a sound!

[AstroSully]

Best tune they played last night. Body Paint one of those songs way better live.
