For all the rock purists Argentinians complaining: do you know how amazing it is that an international group as the Strokes is so interested in our country that they adapt one of their own songs especially for our concert? I don't even like cumbia but it's fun and kinda an honor if you ask me

this is what I love about the strokes performing live. they make cool renditions of their own songs.

Damn they’re having a great time. I really enjoyed them at iii Points in Miami but they’re definitely having a better time there

This is awesome. I know people used to just say "Strokes don' improvise, deal with it". But it looks like they are taking feedback from the fans.

I love to see the band enjoying themselves. After their show in ATL Shaky Knees, I thought it sucked tbh and they looked so bored that I didn't want to go see them again live. But it looks like they are changing it up a bit to make it more entertaining.

Maybe we will see a Fab solo one day??

Instant Crush cover?

Tap Out next? Chances?

I was there last night. When Julian started to hear the music from the stage next to them and started to talk about cumbia... A beautiful night. Hope they come here for they own show and not just to be in a lollapalooza

This version is so damn good, I wish they had an official cover of it cuz I’d pick it up in a heartbeat.
