Just got to know, Daniel John was forced to tour that time and play here at big day out while being extremely ill but still he gave the best performance, that man is legend.
Daniel Johns was in a high dose with painkillers in order to make this gig. The man could barely walk. The tour for the album was postponed for almost one year. Honestly, even though some fans complaining about his late musical career, that's a guy who was into a lot of effort to please them.
Gracie , reactive arthritis. It got worse later so the tour was postponed until they get a good treatment. He said in interviews that, in the worst moments of the disease, even the water pressure on a shower was painful.
Actually, Daniel recently confessed that it was during The Greatest View in this show that he started to struggle to move due to his arthritis, at that time it wasn't treated yet
I know he was struggling mentally but the dude was a musical god.. his voice was amazing and his live performances were awesome no matter what was going on in his head. It’s sad he couldn’t accept that they were their own sound. No matter what you classify it as, they were their own. Period. 🤘
Time will speak to how incredible Silverchair really were. They were one of the great, great, great rock bands of all time. The total package. Songs, performance, growth/progression over their career. As popular as they were I think they were and remain underrated. Much of the songwriting is so incredible and it got better and better from album to album. Although albums like Diorama and Young Modern did not sell as well outside of Australia as Frogstomp and Freak Show did, I think in time (and it's already happening) will be held as Silverchair's best albums and all time rock n roll classics. Up there with the other great, great bands and songwriters. In the long run it doesn't make a difference but it is a shame that Daniel Johns and Ben Gillies can't find a way to compromise each one's petty hang ups about the other and find a way to be friends and enjoy each other's company. The world was incredibly lucky that a songwriter and performer like Johns was able to connect and create with a drummer and performer like Gillies. The great rock songwriters who have lived and died without the world ever knowing because they were never able to connect with a proper drummer is likely innumerable. Had the Daniel Johns, Kurt Cobain's, Billy Corgan's, Chris Cornell's etc of the world never met the Ben Gillies, Dave Grohl's, Jimmy Chamberlin's and Matt Cameron's of the world, I sincerely doubt they would have become platinum selling artists.
Yés they will never regroup as Ben and Chris have the petty jealousies sadly. Daniel gave them his childhood from 1992 til 2011 ..He was not well during many of those years and needed the break to do his own thing. He is very proud of his Silverchair legacy and does not want it destroyed, but he would not regroup for $50 million and a gun to his head
"The Greatest View" is one hell of a rock composition. Heavy guitars, beautiful melodies, and one of the best choruses i've heard. This song alone can fill a stadium. How great this band was, oh God, and i'm discovering their songs now in 2023.
Daniel Johns actually was a dreamboat and I'm still currently thinking and believing that he's still totally the same this 2022 year. He may not know it but I'm just one those thousand fans who have been so impressed by his extraordinary talents as a guitarist, lyricist, leadsinger, key player and a great influencer. Been blown away by Silverchair music and there's nothing I can do about it.🤘
@Russell White Sometimes we have to put ourselves in someone's shoes brother. Try to imagine yourself battling with mental illness and suffering panic attacks. I knew he wasn't in a right state of mind while behind the wheel that night. Let's not judge Daniel until we've walked a mile in his shoes in a nutshell.
@@themichaellaweraproject It's a special kind of extraordinary. If ya know...ya know. If not, then you just don't and that's real sad, man. I guess you can stick with your super technical, straight edge, by the books players if ya want to, and that's cool too. But the raw, noisy stuff is super powerful and full of emotions in my opinion. Pure as it gets, and that's a special kind of extraordinary.🤟
@@wesleyAlan9179 Exactly. Kurt Cobain is in no way a great guitar player but he was special, he had an ear for doing really great compositions. Daniel plays very well and has that good ear to composing. But Daniel truly excels at singing and creating great vocal melodies.
@@_Chris_D_3004 They currently have 2 million+ monthly listseners on Spotify, dispite breaking up in 2011. They were HUGE overseas, including USA. They've sold over 8 million albums, and have literally won more ARIA awards than any other band in history. Keep telling yourself that they're underrated.
I wouldn't say underrated but I would say that not many people are finding their music for the first time as much as when they we're a band. I mean yeah they are underrated for teens and younger adults but for people who grew up with there music it still seems like they have a big fanbase
Silverchair is incredibly underrated. Hell, even in their prime, most people talked shit about them and the people who listened to them. I say this as a silverchair fan! From '95-'05 it was cool to hate silverchair for music lovers. I never understood it. I remember people throwing around the "Nirvana in Pyjama's" payout constantly. It's easy to see who were into silverchair back then and who weren't, we remember how silverchair was normally viewed by normal music fans back then :P For reference, I was in the audience at this show!! The first & only time Channel V filmed the Gold Coast Big Day Out instead of doing the Sydney one. I remember noticing the cameras on the day and losing my mind knowing I'd get to tape the show off cable a few weeks later :D Sucks they didn't keep the first two songs from the set, they were mind blowing. They opened with an insanely awesome version of Emotion Sickness and went straight into Without You, then that is where this video picks up from.

@@fran_akron yeah but a dreamer can dream lol nowadays I just want Daniel to release whatever he's been teasing on Instagram, I'm curious to know what he's up to.
Watching this 20 years later and my heart is beating out of my chest like I was there. So much love for this band, this music, the majesty of the musicianship in Daniel Johns. I am one of the fans that would only get the beauty of his musical development much later, I was way to young for how ahead of his time he was!
so interesting as an American to watch silverchair as received by an Australian audience. they were a side note here, seen in the same vein as derivative grunge bands like Bush, but Daniel Johns is obviously an incredible talent. and at his most beautiful here
Bush was not grunge. They're more alternative rock...like STP. It's not a diss. Grunge & Alternative Rock was our mainstays in the 90s. The sound can be interchangeable but Bush was AR.
I tend to have an open mind and I do respect the band's constant strive to evolve and do something different - it must be boring to play in the same style and perform the same songs year after year. BUT the arrangements for the songs post Faraway Stables in MY opinion are just subpar, they are way less energeic compared to the good ol' rock in the Gold Coast show.
After all these years" is as good as anything by the Beatles especially the Live Version at Newcastle with Dan sat at piano. Anyone who ever went through 20 years of any kind of life shit, needs to hear that song.
Australia need to be so grateful, he us the best thing to ever come from there. A musical melody master and pure lyrical genius. Every song has a captivating instrumental that gives the words life and literally makes you feel what you are supposed to when you hear his words. Incredibly captivating music. I just want to hear more and more!
Yeah there is just something great about the way Daniel wrote songs, he had a special flavour to his music, wish he would do hard music again cause he is great at that, he has that total soft or total hard side and the hard music he just did so well
@@thomasVA9707 something very special about the Aussie alternative metal he wrote that u jst cant find in any other band. & absolute magic on Diorama...
Ape Farm is an obscure experimental metal band from QLD that kinda reminded me of Daniel’s raw days. That’s about the only thing that comes close for me. I live near Newcastle & have actually ran into Chris Joannou. Really cool guy. Such a shame Silverchair is no more...

Most people get off the train somewhere between Neon Ballroom and Diorama. By Faraway Stables this era of the band was gone. I guess it's a double edged sword as the lead singer self admittedly said he wasn't in a good mental place during those albums.
Yep. But they broke up when they realised they were going down hill and their music sucked. Their first two albums were killer. On par with a lot of the big grunge bands. But their last couple of albums were abortions. John's experimenting too much. Pop music which was not Silverchair.
@@saulkennedy7155 I agree. frog stomp and freak show aren't bad, but neon ball room and diorama was them in their prime and at their most orignal. young modern was just something else. the firts four albums had a natural progesseion. young modern was just jaring
zak rowe eh I dunno the more I listen to young modern the more and more I start to like it. All across the world is a really good song but the rest are kinda iffy. Diorama and NB were on a completely different level from the other 3 albums. I will never understand people who claim that silverchairs first two records are the only good ones.
Fuck views?! All those artists with a billion views are manufactured, hollow garbage. Their shit is so well produced it makes the crowd think they like it. Like Saul Williams, not very popular, but man does his style shit on almost everyone. KRS-1 and Chino XL are two rappers that have underground popularity and shit on the Jay-Z's and such. Views or listens doesn't equal quality. Scott Storch is probably one of the best producers on the planet, his music has a unique style. While everyone looks at the EDM dudes as geniuses Storch sits back as one of the King's. He doesn't need to tell anyone he's great. He's just great.
I was at this gig, it was fucking awesome!! It's a pity Channel [V] never aired the first 3 songs of the show (which were performed better than the album versions). They opened with Emotion Sickness, then went into Without You and Paint Pastel Princess.
WOW and I thought this was a legendary performance as it is - with Emotion Sickness, Without You and Paint Pastel Princess at the start it is PURE perfection.
The rest of the world got it...America missed the ball with these guys. I can think of 10 super popular bands that America adores; and these guys BLOW THEM AWAY !!🎉😊🎉
I reckon 2002 would have to be the peak of Daniel's voice, he seems to be hitting those high-notes on the Diorama songs far more comfortably than at any other time - it'd be interesting to see a performance of Across the Night at that point, since he struggled a little with it from 2003 onwards.
There is none. This show was in Jan '02, three months before Diorama was released. They only played a handful of shows after returning from their 12 month performing break. Sadly they held-off performing the more over-the-top songs until the album launch tour (which was meant to coincide with the launch of the album in April). They ended up cancelling all shows after the Big Day Out tour because of Dan's reactive arthritis. So they never played any of those over-the-top songs until 2003 when Dan had recovered (but his voice never hit those 2002 and earlier peaks again, his rampant alcoholism which started up around the same time is mostly the reason). Drunk Dan is nowhere near as good a singer as stoner/pothead Dan (which he was before his turn to alcoholism).

I remember when silverchair headlined big day out I couldn't believe how well they performed and how everybody was jumping and moshing instead of recording the concert on their iPhone -_-

System of a Down, Amen, Superheist, Regurgitator and Spiderbait all put on amazing sets, but Silverchair topped it for me!
@@keeganedwardsasmr6686 You're absolutely correct. Being the huge nerd I am, I used to scribble the setlist down on the back of the ticket stubb as they were playing to help trigger memories in the future. I checked my BDO ticket and sure enough, there she is. Good memory!
@@TheAlphaCreations01 Yeah, it still sounded good but not as good. He seemed to not have been working on singing as much or maybe smoking cigarettes really changed his voice.
Fuck, what a set! Some guys are just on some shows, these guys were in a different stratosphere that night! Best band in the world at the hight of their career on that night!
All I can think about is how this man was able to go from Kurt grunge soul crushing grit to Jeff Buckley soaring heartbreaking sounds in the span of an album. Anyone talking about that?
@@zacharywilson1282 my comment was more about his brilliance of range in his vocal technique and style. Not who’s better. Used the grunge as one end of the spectrum and Jeff Buckley as the other. That’s rare for an artist to have that in their wheelhouse let alone vocally deliver that within the same song!
Still astounded at this dude’s voice and that these 3 managed to create a sound that huge. Totally respect them wanting to move on and do something different, but they were pretty special in their time.
Man, im so Pissed I didn't know anything about this amazing band until now. Guess I was to in tuned listening to narvana, korn, disturbed, incubus, linkin park, limpbiskit, r.a., seven dust, slip knot, cold play, evanescence, and so many more, these guys got skipped some how. Damn lol.
PS for girls: As a gal in my 30s I must say that Daniel was so handsome and he was only in his early 20s, I feel guilty lol 😅But really, am I the only one who thinks he looks older? 😶🌫
If they got back together and made a another grunge album that was a combination of songs like slave, Israel's son, one way mule, and freak I might jizz in my pants. I like their lighter stuff too but god they know how to rock out and they're definitely heavier live and loud as shit
BLACK BEAUTY Les paul one of the finest Guitar in all creations but you knew that hey Daniel? Also ONE WAY MULE the one song i truly always liked from that Album one of the best song they played that night 34:33 was also cool how Freddy Mercury possessed their Anthem

00:00 Israel's Son ; 06:03 Slave ; 10:20 Miss You love ; 14:08 Ana's Song ; 17:33 World Upon Your Shoulders ; 21:57 The Greatest View ; 25:53 One Way Mule ; 29:36 The Door ; 33:30 Anthem For The Year 2000 ; 38:25 Freak. Enjoy!! :-)
Thank you!
avedic You're welcome ^^
I got to see Tomorrow live in 1999 and I will never forget that show !!
They make us Aussies proud still to this day !! 🥹🇦🇺
These kids were ahead of there time such young talents 🤘🔥🎸😮🌃
For real. They just don’t make em like that anymore. I’m 42. Grew up on them. 🥰
Fantastic voice. Also, he was pretty af.
Yeah he was, still is so f***ing "HOT" & Amazingly talented!!🤘😎
@@cherilamkin6634 I'd kill to be this young, pretty, stylish and talented
Diorama era Daniel Johns is like 'im not gay but I would' status like josh hartnett around the same time frame
And slave fucking rides btw
💯😏 I’m 42 & I grew up listening to them, always had a crush!
ben gillies is a bloody solid drummer
Yes Ben really knows his way round the drum kit
I figured that out when I saw the live performance on top of the Marquis of Radio City Music Hall! And he was 16 at MOST !!!!!!
I has this downloaded from somewhere in .mpg back in 2004 while in high school, what a band!!!
THE DOOR hooooolyyyyyy smokes! They absolutely shredded it!
Silverchair in their absolute prime. Probably the last year Daniel sang freak like he did as a teen
I think his voice was better in 99.
@@mattbroughton750 yes but still was very good in 2002-2003
0:57 Can’t believe some terrible human threw a water bottle (?) at his head. Shameful. Yet he kept on singing and gave a brilliant performance ❤
I would fucking go mental for this set in 2021
God they sound fucking awesome. Saw them in Montreal in '00 and they were the loudest band I've ever seen including Motorhead...
Daniel has a great vocal range. I wish I could sing like him!
What would you do with it, sing in the shower?
@@TheMeridian808 for starters
@@shutterjunkeygood answer lol 😂
Never heard this band before, missed out on a great band here!
Most people get off the train somewhere between Neon Ballroom and Diorama. By Faraway Stables this era of the band was gone. I guess it's a double edged sword as the lead singer self admittedly said he wasn't in a good mental place during those albums.
Really.. glad you found them.. frogstomp is my favorite album of there's..I dnt know anything els.. but it had alot if good songs
@@joshuataft5541Silverchair's Frogstomp is the Australian Nevermind 😮
THIS Band could have been the biggest in the World for a very long time
Yep. But they broke up when they realised they were going down hill and their music sucked. Their first two albums were killer. On par with a lot of the big grunge bands. But their last couple of albums were abortions. John's experimenting too much. Pop music which was not Silverchair.
@@stuartjohnson6476 are you the same person you were 15-20 years ago. I doubt it. Silverchair's music changed as they grew up. .... simple as that.
Stuart Johnson the only poor album they really have is young modern the other ones are all fantastic
@@saulkennedy7155 I agree. frog stomp and freak show aren't bad, but neon ball room and diorama was them in their prime and at their most orignal. young modern was just something else. the firts four albums had a natural progesseion. young modern was just jaring
zak rowe eh I dunno the more I listen to young modern the more and more I start to like it. All across the world is a really good song but the rest are kinda iffy. Diorama and NB were on a completely different level from the other 3 albums. I will never understand people who claim that silverchairs first two records are the only good ones.
All these empty artist have millions of views while this is one of the best live shows I've seen. Shame.
Let's feel the prestige of loving great music and actually, we dont want the masses in here! It's not their thing!
Fuck views?! All those artists with a billion views are manufactured, hollow garbage. Their shit is so well produced it makes the crowd think they like it.
Like Saul Williams, not very popular, but man does his style shit on almost everyone. KRS-1 and Chino XL are two rappers that have underground popularity and shit on the Jay-Z's and such. Views or listens doesn't equal quality.
Scott Storch is probably one of the best producers on the planet, his music has a unique style. While everyone looks at the EDM dudes as geniuses Storch sits back as one of the King's. He doesn't need to tell anyone he's great. He's just great.
Daniel Johns. what an artist. Hes been through it all. Respect
Then they wrote shitty songs.
02/03 was his voice peak, dude was seriously putting in the work back then
I didn't realise just how good this band was. Great sound.
I can't get over their age vs their level of talent. It's mad.
Silver chair Rock. I listen to them every day. I love this band.
silverchair! All together 🙄 pls
...also no capital letters, just 'silverchair' 👌🏻
I was at this gig, it was fucking awesome!! It's a pity Channel [V] never aired the first 3 songs of the show (which were performed better than the album versions). They opened with Emotion Sickness, then went into Without You and Paint Pastel Princess.
WOW and I thought this was a legendary performance as it is - with Emotion Sickness, Without You and Paint Pastel Princess at the start it is PURE perfection.
I was there, too. Good memories.
Such an underrated voice. World upon your shoulder feels very Jeff Buckley - chills
Everything that has ever happened is underrated
Totally man, two truly great singers. They always sing with emotion and sincerity. Beautiful.
@@rafanj824 Yep 😻
The rest of the world got it...America missed the ball with these guys. I can think of 10 super popular bands that America adores; and these guys BLOW THEM AWAY !!🎉😊🎉
This performance of Miss You, Love makes the tears well up every time.
I can't believe how good this is.
wow, greatest view performance was incredible!
What a great sound!! Its so honest
I reckon 2002 would have to be the peak of Daniel's voice, he seems to be hitting those high-notes on the Diorama songs far more comfortably than at any other time - it'd be interesting to see a performance of Across the Night at that point, since he struggled a little with it from 2003 onwards.
Dude I completely agree.
There is none. This show was in Jan '02, three months before Diorama was released. They only played a handful of shows after returning from their 12 month performing break.
Sadly they held-off performing the more over-the-top songs until the album launch tour (which was meant to coincide with the launch of the album in April). They ended up cancelling all shows after the Big Day Out tour because of Dan's reactive arthritis. So they never played any of those over-the-top songs until 2003 when Dan had recovered (but his voice never hit those 2002 and earlier peaks again, his rampant alcoholism which started up around the same time is mostly the reason). Drunk Dan is nowhere near as good a singer as stoner/pothead Dan (which he was before his turn to alcoholism).
I feel no difference between their life performance &in the album,just awesome..😘😘
Can’t…..stop…..watching. So good!
Daniel Johns is" HoT AF here,...😋
An Amazing f***ing musician, lyricist, singer & frontman❣😎🤘,...I really miss silverchair😏
this band saved me from my depression
!!!
Must have been a light depression.
Diorama absolutely did that for me!
So true
Can’t stop watching this. Not aware of the band at the time. This is Silverchair at their height. Mesmerizing ❤️
for the very first time the bass is so loud in the mix. I like it!!!
Silverchair kicks major ass!!! saw these cats many times during teenage years
The beginning of the end of a good rock band.
been watching this video for years, I just couldn't stop... =)
Yeah..me too...over&over again...
God did he nail the vocals for Ana’s Song. What a powerful band, such hard working people 🤍

I remember when silverchair headlined big day out I couldn't believe how well they performed and how everybody was jumping and moshing instead of recording the concert on their iPhone -_-
Well it was 2002 and people didn't have iphones back then but I guarantee if they did they'd be filming
They didn’t headline.
Sounds like a bullshit story all round really...
smart phones ruined live music
Apple uses child slaves girls
The creativity of Daniel Johns is on show
lol the way he sung freak was pretty funny. using a whole bunch of weird voices. Perfect for a song like that.
Shamic Entertainment the live performances of Freak made me love the song a whole lot more. His funny voices and expressions were hilarious 😆
Every Freak live version is funny at all. The most funniest was at homebake in 1999.
Such an epic performance of World Upon Your Shoulders... just godlike
I was in the audience at this show!! The first & only time Channel V filmed the Gold Coast Big Day Out instead of doing the Sydney one. I remember noticing the cameras on the day and losing my mind knowing I'd get to tape the show off cable a few weeks later :D
Sucks they didn't keep the first two songs from the set, they were mind blowing. They opened with an insanely awesome version of Emotion Sickness and went straight into Without You, then that is where this video picks up from.
System of a Down, Amen, Superheist, Regurgitator and Spiderbait all put on amazing sets, but Silverchair topped it for me!
Pretty sure they played paint Pastel Princess after without you aswell
@@keeganedwardsasmr6686 You're absolutely correct. Being the huge nerd I am, I used to scribble the setlist down on the back of the ticket stubb as they were playing to help trigger memories in the future. I checked my BDO ticket and sure enough, there she is. Good memory!
Thank you SO MUCH for posting the clearest, absolute best versions of live Silverchair shows!!!
his vocals are really great in this concert tbh
2002 - 2003 the peak of Daniel Johns' voice.
1997
1999 was definitely the best
@@TheAlphaCreations01 Nah, he has the timbre of 1999 still but with additional vocal range in 2002.
Sonny
His voice changed brutally in 2007 , it’s unbelievable
@@TheAlphaCreations01 Yeah, it still sounded good but not as good. He seemed to not have been working on singing as much or maybe smoking cigarettes really changed his voice.
He's so beautiful 😔🌷
Oh. Yeah, so. Awesome. To. Find. So. Much. Early. Concert. Footage. I. Love. It. ! 😸
21:58 Absolutely blown away by how amazing this riff sounds live.
Fuck, what a set! Some guys are just on some shows, these guys were in a different stratosphere that night! Best band in the world at the hight of their career on that night!
Daniel in that shirt is the handsomest he’s ever been 💛💛💛✨🌟✨
The most handsome (?) 😬😅
All I can think about is how this man was able to go from Kurt grunge soul crushing grit to Jeff Buckley soaring heartbreaking sounds in the span of an album. Anyone talking about that?
I think he's better than Kurt Cobain.
@@zacharywilson1282 my comment was more about his brilliance of range in his vocal technique and style. Not who’s better. Used the grunge as one end of the spectrum and Jeff Buckley as the other. That’s rare for an artist to have that in their wheelhouse let alone vocally deliver that within the same song!
@@zacharywilson1282 I love Kurt, but agree with you. No question, he far surpasses Kurt as a singer and songwriter.
Still astounded at this dude’s voice and that these 3 managed to create a sound that huge. Totally respect them wanting to move on and do something different, but they were pretty special in their time.
Man, im so Pissed I didn't know anything about this amazing band until now. Guess I was to in tuned listening to narvana, korn, disturbed, incubus, linkin park, limpbiskit, r.a., seven dust, slip knot, cold play, evanescence, and so many more, these guys got skipped some how. Damn lol.
They are great, somehow their music evolved, not because the bands wants to, because of what Daniel Johns wanted. So yeah.
Amo esse show demais ❤ Miss Silverchair
Duuuuuude, I was only 9 years old at that time. Wish I was older to see them live! They sounded REALLY good live 👏👏👏
PS for girls: As a gal in my 30s I must say that Daniel was so handsome and he was only in his early 20s, I feel guilty lol 😅But really, am I the only one who thinks he looks older? 😶🌫
Powerful show!!!!
one of their best live sets ever
Daniel Genius Johns! ♥️🤟🏽♥️
omg slave, the greatest view, and the door was so fucking good on this performance😳😳
21:58 my favorite song:) greatest view!
They are GODS, I dont care What haters say!
best silverchair concert line up!!!!!
saw them on this tour... they were truly awesome
8:45 the true power of DJ vocals... an absolute animal of the vocal instrument
If they got back together and made a another grunge album that was a combination of songs like slave, Israel's son, one way mule, and freak I might jizz in my pants. I like their lighter stuff too but god they know how to rock out and they're definitely heavier live and loud as shit
It would be cool if they get back and continue the unfinished sixth album
Still Watching march 14 2019
BLACK BEAUTY Les paul
one of the finest Guitar in all creations
but you knew that hey Daniel?
Also
ONE WAY MULE the one song i truly always liked from that Album
one of the best song they played that night
34:33 was also cool how Freddy Mercury possessed their Anthem
The Door is insane!
Yes! Daniel's vocals 😱 just perfect 🙌
IMO this was their quintessential performance in terms of overall sound and groove. Only thing missing is Emotion Sickness.
Gosh this is so f'ing magical!
