i like how in their very first show they had to find a replacement for someone. it's like foreshadowing for the entire first half of their career.

To clear up confusion, I'm the fill in screamer in this video. They asked me to do it because jon mess was sick. "Dude we need you to scream for our show." "But i dont know any of the songs!" "Its okay theres no lyrics anyways" I believe thats how it went down. Ive been a metal vocalist my whole life so this was different thats for sure. Been in Conducting from the grave and shadow of the colossus. Y'all can stop assuming now.

Jonny Craig: "My first show was in Sacramento. We didn't really have any songs written and (Jon Mess), at the day of the show, lost his voice. We had a stand in screamer from Kentucky From The Grave if anyone knows who that is. Good friend of ours. It was just the most ridiculous thing we ever did in our entire lives. Straight up! (Laughs) It is the first video of us ever on youtube. If you find it, it is with a random guy with long hair doing pig squeals."

If someone told me that roughly 10 years later everyone on this stage would be concidered a legend in the scene I wouldve slapped you

Its not terrible for that point in time to be honest. Keep in mind the Kings of Post Hard Core was Thrice, Saosin and Thursday. 2005 is before the wave of post hardcore bands that everyone started calling 'scene'.

I miss this so Much, Jonny had so much passion in his vocals. This is when I would've done ANYTHING to see them live. I miss the old Jonny that actually had a love for his music. Downtown battle mountain was one of the best albums ever released, I wish he would go back to that.

I'm so happy to been able to see JC with DGD 3 times. Including the 10 year anniversary tour. I legit cried when he sang And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman

Jonny's gritty voice is amazing but I think we can all agree that when he sings this clean with little rasp it sounds really good because this is basically his natural voice....like on this album and in ghost runner the third he has no rasp or a little rasp which sounds good

It’s so raw. There’s definitely this phenomenon of good singers before they have discovered good technique having raw emotional power

Ten years later. Kinda always knew Jonny would still be singing, even through all the mistakes hes made, his commitment to music has been undeniable.

That's exactly what it is. It's basically pre WISIRO.

What is the second song? its beautiful. Also, people don't give Swan enough credit for all he's done for the band and how he's never gave up on dgd, same goes for Mingus.

Actually, Jon Mess was sick that night so they had a fill-in screamer. It was Drew Winter from a band called Conducting From The Grave.

I like how 90% of the people commenting on this have no idea what they're talking about.

This video was awesome!!!!!

I love that this is on KZread. There are barely any bands that have their FIRST show recorded like this. So aaaaaweeeeessooommmeee!!!

Am I the only one who thought the screamer dude sounded pretty good? If he mixed some low growls in there it would have been even better.

LMAO, bro this made my day.

jonny was a cutie. :D and his voice sounds amazing. :3

I think the crowd was a decent size because 4 of these guys were in a great local pop punk band before forming dance gavin dance with jonny and mess (Will, Erick, Matt and Alvaro were members of Farewell Unknown). The guy whos doing the screams here isn't mess but I like him anything for screaming vowels pretty good. Alvaro I think only did the pre royal ocean demos before sean o came in to be part of the classic royal and DTB1 lineup (he was in one song in DTB2 and was a exclusive for hometown shows). Happy 10th anniversary to Dance Gavin Dance!

They should have just asked me to do the screaming lmao

@IrvinP92 it's not jon. jon was sick that night and they got a fill in... his first name is drew but i don't know his last name

2nd song starts at 3:52

I agree with Remnant

i hope he finds a new band or even just forms a new post-hardcore band, that would be cool, then everybody would be talking about Emarosa, Dance Gavin Dance, A Lot Like Birds and his new band which hasn't been done yet so yeah., this is great,

stand in guy wouldve made a perfect 2002 daughters stand in

@Premoemo what are you talking about?

why dont they do this live anymoreee

Anyone what is the second song?

Is there any other live performances of young Jonny and dgd?

@ckrustin that's because the screamer isn't Jon Mess

thats one kick ass bassist

@barbershop1992 you mean conducting from the grave ?

@jorskid no. they hadnt even written lyrics for any of the songs yet in this vid

@parkins521 Will swan, and Matthew Mingus are possibly the most influential factors to this despairing music scene, alone.

Indie song sounds like a covet song with vocals added.

@tehRedBumbleBee i know lol! its just wierd seeeing with out a mullet since hes had it for so long ya no?
