The Big Mates provide insightful and tangential audio commentary for Arctic Monkeys live Reading Festival 2006.
Adam, Steve, and Lucas discuss the concert as broadcast on BBC television and radio, and then lovingly stitched together by YouTuber Alex Turner (not that one). They also discuss Reading Festival in general, the festival landscape at the time, and Lucas' attendance at this very show!
Here is the video we watch, if you'd like to watch along:

Or don't watch along - the episode works fine either way!
Our next episode comes out Monday July 14th and will begin the deep-dive into Favourite Worst Nightmare!
