It’s crazy how the “a voice like this doesn’t come around very often” applies to 2 of 3 of DGD’s lead singers - Tilian and Jonny Craig. And even though Kurt isn’t quite on that level for me, his voice is still incredible and was the perfect kind of tone/energy for the band in that era of their history. The fact that DGD haven’t missed with their lead vocalists is insane.

Tree City Sessions is actually their live albums, Tilian takes songs from the previous two vocalists and basically does them in his own style, however if you do plan on doing TCS I would listen to the previous vocalists songs first, for example Blue Dream which had vocalist Jonny Craig or even NASA with Kurt Travis. The previous two vocalists had very different styles to Tilian which is really interesting to compare and definitely a must if you’re going in depth on DGD.

One of the literal best days of my life was when I met Will Swan at work. He's super cool and down to earth

To answer some of his questions, Will Swan is very involved in the writing process, having a whole genre of music created based off of his style. They don’t sound exactly the same live but they do sound great live with their touring guitarist Andrew Wells. Matt Mingus and Will Swan are also the only two members who have been with the band in it entirety. They have a bunch of videos in that cartoon style as well. I love this band due to their style being very meaningful but still fun. You can get an emotional response to the songs, but they are fun.

I've seen them live several times, there is a ton of improvisation. It's actually amazing because it works so well. Will ends up changing some of the guitar parts, but you can still tell what each song it is. I'll also say that everyone including Andrew Wells usually performs extremely well, but due to the nature of so many of the songs having such sustained high notes for Tillian, you definitely want to catch him on a tour date where he's had a week off. If you go to see him live a day/ two days after he played another full show some songs aren't as great, but I cant really blame him. The last one I went to they got an encore that they actually responded to (every one I went to an encore was requested) and instead of playing their music they played cover songs which was actually really cool to hear them play as the only cover song we have that is on a label is the Bruno Mars cover on punk goes pop. One was Under Pressure by David Bowie/Queen.

Their live performance of "We Own the Night" is essentially studio quality, obviously there's gonna be other factors so not every live performance will be amazing but that's the one to listen to if you're trying to compare them when live to recorded.

Seen them live once and it was incredible. Each member went into their own solo multiple times. So much talent around the board. They even release instrumental albums of every LP just to showcase it.

Lmao when he said "I don't know what Jon said but it's fun to listen to" I lost it 😂

Seen DGD live at least 5 times and can definitely say they sounds just as good live. Overall probably my favorite band. According to an interview I watched with band members, I think most DGD songs start with riffs that Will has composed and the rest of the song kind of develops from there.

"We own the night" and "Lyrics Lie" are also great songs from DGD

Dance Gavin Dance is one of the best bands out here hands down. They sound beautiful live as well.

I’m glad you picked up on the meaning of the song at the end. Keep traveling down the rabbit hole that is dance Gavin dance, you will NOT be disappointed ever.

Young Robot has always been on of my go-to's by them. Honestly they have so many songs going back years and years, and they've been amazing. The more recent albums, however, hit more refined and more sugary, if that makes any sense. I would love to hear your reaction to a song with Jonmy Craig as the lead singer. He was problematic, but his vocals are so soulful and powerful, along with Tilian he's got such a unique voice, and he's one of my favorite vocalists.

@ 4:08... the answer to that is YES! I've never seen them in concert, but my son has. I did get the opportunity to see their COVID streaming event on a bridge in their hometown of Sacramento, and it was phenomenal. They're very tight live.

Every time he paused the video leading up to the breakdown made me so much more amped to see his reaction when the breakdown hits. Worth it.

Do "open your eyes and look north". One of their older songs and a different lead singer.

Tillian has a side project named after himself. Might be worth checking out a song called 'hold on' by him. Beautiful song and the lyrics + music video made me cry.

Their shows are so incredible. I’ve gone VIP twice, and Will is such a dope individual. Kinda shy but for sure a gem. Tilian’s such a showman lol. This band’s so underrated

EVERYONE that reacts, reacts the same way to the beat change up and i LOVE it so much. hahaha. so groovy

This song really shows off Tilian’s gritty side, glad you found this one!

I know that you'll want to save a lot of these for your channel reactions, but do yourself a favor at some point and react to the entire Mothership album. This was my first album by them, and it was so refreshing to hear new music by real musicians, that I think I've listened to that album 50 times. It's sooo good. Oh... and I'm in my 50s, so I'm not really the demographic they're shooting for. My son introduced me to them in 2016, and I'm so glad. Music has been boring and lifeless for quite some time, and then these guys came along with an invented genre. Simply and amazing band.

I loved that little pause "I have no clue what Jon said but it was fun to listen to"

They sound amazing live and pretty identical to their albums. I make it a point to see them every time they are near me.

I second whomever mentioned Tree City Sessions 2, full live album. Uneasy Hearts is a solid live listen.

I feel like I'm giving away their secret but basically Tillian lays out the storyline and Jon comes in for misdirection. He's there to "throw the listeners off the scent" but sometimes it's not misdirection, just always keeps you guessing.

I still get emotional just watching this music video. This is the song that got me hooked on this band years ago

To answer your question, I've seen DGD live 5+ times and they are literally just as tight live! Matt is an absolute machine of a drummer and Will is consistent every single time

Please do Nothing Shameful next!

The band is shockingly close to their studio-sound when performing live. Really the only place they falter is the singers sometimes just can’t keep up the same breath control, but that’s super forgivable. Top notch band, super humble vibes and very talented musicians.

Listen to One In A Million! Tillian's voice in that gives me goosebumps and watery eyes

Met Tillian in one of the FL concerts along with Jon and Matt which are both freaking awesome guys, but Tillians' voice is somewhat regularly high pitched especially after talking with him for a while so I can say when he sings, he sounds like an angel lmfao.

And my wife and I are convinced that Tillian as actually whatever the male equivalent to a siren is.

They're fucking awesome live. Seen them probably like 4 times.

Ahhh, I was hoping you'd have that reaction when the tone shifts, that's my favorite part of the song. Gets me every time!

I remember hearing this song for the first time - my first experience with DGD. Love at first sight and listen. Nothing beats these guys. The intro of Inspire The Liars gives me chills even after years.

Will Swan imo is the glue to the band through all the transitions in vocals. Tillian is absolutely definitive to the modern, and longest lasting, set that is Dance Gavin Dance. But Will Swan is, again imo, the most important and identifying part of the band. What a killer guitarist.

Yes I’ve seen them twice and I’ve got a ticket to their suspended Afterburner tour....they do all in-fact sound this good live.

We own the night is an incredible song by them, as is here comes the winner!

I've seen them 4 times. Tillian is about 50/50 on performance. Sometimes he is ON and others, his voice is tapped out. They have a rigorous, pretty much nonstop touring schedule (pre-covid, of course) and Tillian's voice noticeably takes a beating. I would say if your city is close to the start of the tour, he's going to be well rested. 2nd half...mixed bag. I live in Southern California though so they either start here or end here.

How has nobody requested "we own the night" or "evaporate"? My top 3 songs with tillian are those two and inspire the liars

Knew of Will back in the day of Farewell Unknown and he's always been a phenom. I can still hear his solo lines back in the day relating even now. He always did the tweedley guitar leads, used to look up to him as a fellow musician in the Sac scene in early 00's.

David’s Question: “do these guys sound good live?” HELL YEAH! Shockingly, Jon’s unclean vocals are just as superb live as they are in the studio. 😄 I’m proud to speak so highly of this band as a fellow Sacramento resident just like DGD IS! #DanceGavinDance #SacramentoProud
