Makes me feel old. Matt was one of my good friends in high school, I went to every show from 2005 to about 2014. I remember the day I met him. He was wearing a Silverstein shirt and laughed because I was too. So many good memories with that dude. I miss being young and sitting in class with him. I remember the day he told me that he started a band and they named it dance Gavin dance and I should come to his show. I really miss the old days.

@@gavinc6366 Yeah dude! He was like the first show we played we didn’t have a band name so they needed to come up with something so they came up with dance Gavin dance. And they just kept it. Years later he said that they were thinking of just sticking with dgd like mgmt but he was like people are use to us being dance Gavin dance and people can also call them dgd.

@@austiny.5676 That's actually not his vocal chords, surprisingly they seem moreless "Okay". He just has no breath anymore due to poor health. hitting these notes is mostly a matter of lungs and clearly all the drugs/smoking he did took a hit on his ability to do so.

@@PeeNidsCold I thought that too, but there is actually a difference between Tillian and Jonny in this case - Jonny is belting that part, that's why it sounds so powerful, whereas Tilian (usually) "just" goes for the notes in this song. Compare Tillian in Times New Roman and the ending of Man of The Year or during Variation, TNR in his version (at least the ones I've heard) is nowhere near that powerful. Tillian hits higher due to his naturally high pitched voice (imo thats why it sounds so effortless), Jonny had more power when he was in his prime. I love both btw, not trying to say one is better than another

This video is filled with so much 2000s angst. It's excellent. Eric was still on bass. Mess had long hair. Jonny was still hardcore dancing. Will is playing a flying V. Everything was right in the world.

I wonder what Jonny Craig sounds like when he's trying to sing. Cause in this video he doesn't even look like he's trying. Fucking genius.

Jonny was so much better back in the day, I'm really impressed.

+Danre LAN-I-ER I don't know...If you look at some performances with Emarosa, Jonny is plenty-loud, even without the mic up-close. He held the mic quite far away from his mouth many times, and his voice was still louder than anything else...On the other hand, compared to the musicians, he is very weak.

Dante LAN-I-ER Nah! There were ol’ rumors that during the show the tech didn’t adjust their mics or whatnot. Jon Mess’ mic was broken or so and during the 3 minute mark of this video you can already clearly see Jonny upset with the mics and Jon Mess pissed and gave up screaming his vocal parts. You can see Jonny just upset glanced and shook his head and started screaming some parts of Jon Mess’ scream vocals to up the anti and showing the fans it was the mic.

is that jon mess? he looks like john proctor from the crucible or jesus christ

Holy fucking crap... They're amazing here. I love this band so much.

Jon Mess was so mad Jonny was screaming his parts 🤣

you need to blame the tech guy who turned jons mic down for some dumb reason. God Dammit I miss this line up

This should be the only line-up Dance Gavin Dance ever had.

what a gem

holy shot young job mess has my whole heart ❤️

God I love his voice so much I just like going back to their old albums and listening to them.

I absolutely love his voice!!

jesus johnny shifts and reaches his notes flawlessly

still the best live vid of these guys

not too many ppl notice but matt has great energy in all concerts =)

jonnys voice sends shivers down my spine, its beautiful (:

THROWBACK JONNY.

Dude... Jonny put so much emotion in his little solo verse.. he is an amazing vocalist. so unique. his voice is never old to me :) cant wait to see them at warped :D

NOW THIS IS GOLD

love love love love love DGD!!!

THIS IS AMAZING

holy shit Herb was really screaming there awesome!

awesome thanks for the video

they sound great!!!:)

sounds amazing

I love the little run @2:16 it just sounds soooo awesome. IDK WHY?!?!?!

This video could be on a loop at the Smithsonian museum

best vid on youtube

agreed. jonny has this skill of sending chills at certain parts of songs. like the interlude of this and alot of DTBM and emarosa.

love this band

jon has such a great live voice

My godd... Johnny Craig and Jon mess.. The brilliant voice and those mindblowing screams are so memoriable

epic!

Will Swan is a magical wizard.

you gotta love that "alright" at the end haha and then the tension with jonathan and jonny, for the little part in the middle with the cool riff, but just look at how jonny shoved in front of jonathan, maybe cus his lack of effort to put on a show? jonny's screams do sound pretty cool how he fills in though, "alright" haha R.I.P DGD

@leviath79 I discovered this song yesterday, I've listened to it lke 100 times and I think this will remain my favorite song for a wile

dtmb2 cant wait!

Hes like the most amazing live vocalist ever

makes me proud that i was one of the ones there :)

Bro you can just tell Jon Mess’ volume was turned down for some reason... *cough* monetarily motivated

I haven't heard anything about this but i could believe it.

HO-LY shit, I can’t even imagine being able to say I saw DGD at this time, considering how far they’ve come. This video belongs in a museum.

Mad song, I love DGD :D

niceee. really good audio too

damn i miss this

Definitely Johnny at his best; his voice before he carelessly smoked his voice away like most singers do, not to mention time as well. He was so good during this period. I believe this is one of their greatest performances.

july 2019!

Nice.

@leviath79 me too! i was looking for some heavy songs and i love the guitar intros just jamming forget intros they just give it to you raw. i heard this in the beginning of high school and now imma graduate :)

this is the best dgd will ever be.

When Jon Mess stops and JC is like, "right... i'm disappointed in this mother fucker but i'ma bout to save the day" Still cracks me up 12 years later

Man the new members don't rock the fuck out this hard. I saw them in 2017 this year and they did not go this ham. Still had a good time netherless

In their defense, the stuff they do know is relatively more complex, or, at least, the complex sections occur more frequently. That and they ARE in their 30's now.

this is when dance gavin dance were their best

HaH Jonny is the best singer ever live and on studio and jonathan mes's screams are amazing!

i agree with everything

Jonnys the illest ever. i have mad respect right after his screams at around 3:00 he goes right back to hittin nasty amazing notes.

Will is absolutely feasting for the last minute of this set

OMFG! That would be epic! I never got to see Jonny with the old DGD. I hope its true!

i do like this song, and jonny

Osh- I'm missing school on Friday for that show! ;3333 Saw Emarosa last week(They played Toledo, hell yeah! :D)

When you have that much vocal talent, you can do whatever the fuck you want.

i miss the old dance gavin dance!! :(

also you'll never hear johnny hitting that "just to let it show, i'll bring you far" that fucking good

who gives a shit if he gets "Baked/high/drunk" before shows. as long as he delivers. and from the looks of it here and when i seen him back in November he did a great job. and I'm sick of people talking crap on johnny hes an amazing artist and vocalist and thats all that matters. The music not his attitude. if you don't like him then stop listening/watching him.

Just saw them play Times New Roman with the original line up. THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING.

Here at 2019

Came here after hearing the news about Tilian leaving the band permanently. Remembering that the band had a completely different roster originally gives me hope for their future.

I enjoyed this video...it just sucks that we'll never see this again....but crazyier things have happend..so maybe

I miss The old Dance Gavin Dance They use to be so good.. I loved there old singer

I'd say both are poetic and passionate. i assume ur saying anthony is the poet and jonny is the passionate, but anthony's live performances are pretty damn passionate and jonny's lyrics are absolutely incredible!
