Who's to say he was sober for this? He could have just been barely loaded enough to give us this gem. Ngl, DGD could have been so much more had Jonny not spiraled so far down into drugs.
^ no lie, I'm telling you, everyone goes into the studio with some aspects of vocal processing or comping, that's normal, your putting out physicals for peoples headphones car rides, you want it to be at its best but live..... its rare to see someone crush and no not every night is a singer going to be at his best, but making adjustments and still nailing, just so pure
I would go to say JC was the best live vocalist at this time. There wasn’t many singers who could out sing him without some sort of auto tune or melodyne thrown into the mixes.
Jonny still has it. Absolutely murdered it. I love how he sings like it's his last song ever. Tilian sounds like he's saving it for the next song every song.
saw him do The last should stay Dead on Sunday, I'm happy to report he STILL has it to this day. If his rnb stuff makes him happy, more power to him, but it's nice to see he can still rip those old songs wide open no problem
I saw then live when they did their 10th Anniversary Tour, & this song sounded this good, & he also sang Robot With Human Hair 2 1/2 & Times New Roman, & it was just like this man. Also, all 3 vocalists sang Uneasy Hearts & Jonny killed that too. Also, Slaves performed & I swear to god he hit every single note flawlessly. He was actually sober on that tour so he was really in his element.
Shaniqua Black this wasnt done back when jonny was still in the band. this was the 10 year anniversarry. at the end of 2015. he can still sing this way
Am I the only one that literally spends every night watching all of Jonny’s live performances? His vocals just do something for me that no other has ever done. He is the greatest, and it’s not even a competition if you ask me. This one might be my favorite.
What makes me laugh is when the song starts it seems like probably only 10% of them know what the jonny era was about. By the end everyone is moving. Makes me smile.
Damn, it's been a while since I've seen Jonny sing this song as good as this recently. I was afraid he couldn't go this hard anymore. Maybe his vocals were worn out in the other vids. Glad he's still got it!
I saw them on this tour at the New Daisy in Memphis. Jonny WAS actually sober, & everyone sounded so good. Kurt Travis sounded AMAZING on Tree Village & Happiness.
@@lizardgreen2121 Exactly - I also no longer think Jonny is best lol. I think it's all dependent on your current mood - they all fit a specific need. Glad we got to experience all 3 and glad Tilian brought some stability so they can keep going. Hype for the new album they are working on! 2022/2023 BAYBEEEE
I can see my little head bobbing in the crowd, honestly the sound felt shitty in the actual venue but watching it back I'm so glad I got to see Jonny do this song so well
It's a slap in the face to title it FT JONNY CRAIG. A straight got damn punch in the gut. The man was the vocalist, laid down the vocals and toured for several years.
3:11 that fucking E i always wanted to hear the open your eyes high note from him live but this goes slightly beyond cant believe how clean and powerful he is, considering its after his slaves set
BROOO this is the only video ive seen were Matt Mingus even slightly fucks up and i didnt even notice until after literally a year of watching this video. Incredible drummer
@@matheusemmanuel5815 acho a voz dele bem merda hoje em dia, já foi bem melhor, e de todas as fases, comparada a qualquer uma do Jonny, torna ele beeeem inferior
The whole demeanor of Jon really made me hurt; you can see how happy Jonny was to sing this being with them again, but thr way Jon was, oh boy. I haven't seen Jon be like that when he performs with Tilian. I can't.
I don't think it's necessarily the fact that he *can't* hit it live (because he's able to do that high E before the last chorus, which is like a whole step up from the "for" you mention), but I think he's just trying to play it smart in where he pushes himself for the sake of longevity. You also have to remember that DGD didn't even play until after Slaves, so Jonny had already used his voice quite a bit. He's also older now, and his voice has deepened, so of course reaching for DBM1 notes isn't going to be easy anymore.
I miss Jonny so much! The goosebumps this gives me hearing that monster voice. It’s been since DTBM 2 over 10 years almost… 💔 P.S. Jonny, fuck you for fucking this up! 👌🏻 still love you though!
What breaks my heart, not to discredit the post Jonny Craig discography of Dance Gavin Dance, I feel he robbed himself of the best musical expression he had in his entire career. Both parties, separate from origin experiences, would always supercede the after if he could've just held on. Fuck....
You're not alone. I adore all the eras of DGD that came after him, but you can't help but get that "lightning in a bottle" feeling when you look back at Jonny and DGD.
Bend Venture I admit Kurt always sounded a little slurred and wasn't great live, but that was his thing, and I really like his style anyway. Tillian is crisper, Johnny sounds a lot stronger and soulful though. Tillian is pretty talented too.
DGD is one of those bands i think is completely acceptable to just stand and watch in awe rather than pit around during... between Will, Jonny... and there perfection as a whole band live. there's nothing quite like it tbh.
okay okay okay okay ....hear me out.....Johny was a hot mess with his scandals and his bad bad habits...BUT...JOHNYS clean vocals ..in my opinion ....was the best. He has so much control..and vocal range...and I LOVE TILLIAN BUT ........ Tillian vs Johny just raw dog SINGING .....I think Johny would win .... by a lot. There was something super raw and real to Johny's voice when he sang live ( AND ACTUALLY REMEMBERED THE DAM LYRICS -__-) .....best live performance of this song to date...and its 2021. lol
It’s because he didn’t play for dance Gavin dance at that time. Johny was already kicked out. He was on a tour with Emerosa and DGD. He would play this song with them every night when they were on tour as a throw back.

jesus christ Jonny's vocals are so clean here its almost not human thats how amazing his voice is
Kind of like, he's a robot with human hair
@@natebaggett4868 EXACTLY !
@@natebaggett4868 You got me good.
This is probably one of the best live versions I've heard of this song.
Kristen Malacara it is THE best version you've ever heard.
It’s great when Jonny isn’t too loaded to remember the lyrics
Dude for real
jon went insane as well
A-fucking-men.
Please never let this video die. One of the most amazing live performances of DGD. It’s so on point it’s unbelievable
what i love about this band is each vocalist can literally change the whole dynamic of the band
Could you imagine him performing sober all time? It would be amazing
We all pray for these days still.
still waiting for it to be consistent lmao
Who's to say he was sober for this? He could have just been barely loaded enough to give us this gem. Ngl, DGD could have been so much more had Jonny not spiraled so far down into drugs.
@@cateatfood6634 You can tell he was clean this night.
He is now.
Jonny is one of the best live vocalists of all time.
Your_Savior_23 You're damn right about that.

Yes sir!

You simply won't find a better performance of this song.

Has Jonny ever sounded better than this? This video is pure gold.

This is the best version of this song period. Audio is even surprisingly clean
jesus i had forgotten how good jonny can sound while sober.
Johnny sounds fucking phenomenal.
I know. I do miss him.
Goddamn Jonny fucking kills it. Thought he could never sing like that again
Shaniqua Black same here man he sounds great
Shaniqua Black never doubt jonnys singing skills. Just don't.
no being completely trashed does wonders for performance
Shaniqua Black this wasnt done back when jonny was still in the band. this was the 10 year anniversarry. at the end of 2015. he can still sing this way

You're not alone my friend
Smh, his singing is just on another level. Everytime I go back and watch these old videos... its just so impressive.
So awesome watching Johnny Craig healthy and delivering it! Dude has a voice like no other. New DGD is great, but old DGD was pretty special.
For sure. So much love for Johnny and Tillian and the whole band. 🤍
Easily the best live version of this song online, please never delete this
Never heard Jonny sounding this together live... I get it now
three embodiment of 'god given talent'. dude just has it, doesn't even have to work for it as far as I can tell
Jonny craig is one of the greatest vocalist ever. Not just in the post hardcore world but all music.
Regan. Imagine if Jonny knew the dgd lyrics back then
Omg Jon has gotten so strong over the years. Fucking monster
This is why Jonny is the superior vocalist when on point.
Probably one of Jonny’s greatest live performances
it literally doens't get any better than that. Johnny is astonishing when he is in shape.
What makes me laugh is when the song starts it seems like probably only 10% of them know what the jonny era was about. By the end everyone is moving. Makes me smile.
that E5 in the bridge tho
Jonny still the most powerful voice of any human
yesss dude, itys insane
haha jon did some low screams in the breakdown. sick performance as always from these guys
Johnny has never sounded better. Insane
It breaks my heart I missed this.
The mics were beautiful on this one, good job sound guy 👍🏻
This is genuinely impressive. Sounds exactly like the album. Jonny is insane.
Hate the man if you want, but the artist is unquestionably gold. Johnny Craig was born to sing.
3:12 wtf?! Impressive, incredible!
Damn, it's been a while since I've seen Jonny sing this song as good as this recently. I was afraid he couldn't go this hard anymore. Maybe his vocals were worn out in the other vids. Glad he's still got it!
Key word is tour. Once your voice is in tip top shape, it can only get worse until you rest.
He's still got it.
Those Jonny Craig vocals are why he is the goat.
I saw them on this tour at the New Daisy in Memphis. Jonny WAS actually sober, & everyone sounded so good. Kurt Travis sounded AMAZING on Tree Village & Happiness.
This performance alone just puts Jonny right at the top. I hope he returns to this band one day
That 10th Anniversary tour was the first time I got to see DGD live. What a fucking treasure that was.
God damn. That was on point.
Jonny may be the best DGD vocalist but everyone of them is a legend. Jonny just fits so perfectly
He brought the soul. He was the best fit for this band it’s a shame drugs ruined it
@@lizardgreen2121 Exactly - I also no longer think Jonny is best lol. I think it's all dependent on your current mood - they all fit a specific need.

he is a beast, but i dont know why i prefer the two Kurt Travi albums, those lyrics are very nice and it feels very "sad" on kurt voice some how
wow easily one of jonny;s best live performances, his voice is perfect here.
Before his early years, this was jonny's second prime lol. Crazy
holy fuck this is one of their best live performances i have ever seen by far
Holy shit they all sound perfect. Literally never heard live vocals sound so close to the album. Ever.
Jesus! The throat of this guy! A huge fan since 2010.
man. Jonny the man Craig. I often forget how incredible a vocalist this man under all the stories
I've loved this song since HS and I always will. Will Swan is a beast!
I wish I could have seen this performance. Takes me back, nostalgic perfection.
I can see my little head bobbing in the crowd, honestly the sound felt shitty in the actual venue but watching it back I'm so glad I got to see Jonny do this song so well
that voice hits every part of my empty soul LOL
Can I put more than one thumb up? This is fucking awesome. Jonny killed it!
We all know why Johnny is still performing with them. Because he's the fucking best.
I thought Tillan was? Lol
Nvm didn't see this was a 10yr anniversary
Yeah, there are other vids on RUclips of him performing with them over the years after he left as well.
Yeah he shows up randomly at quite a few shows after Kurt joined but not so much after Happiness released.
Downtown Battle Mountain
It's a slap in the face to title it FT JONNY CRAIG. A straight got damn punch in the gut. The man was the vocalist, laid down the vocals and toured for several years.
so glad I saw this tour, Brighton was epic.
Brighton was fucking killa
Damn Jonny’s one of the best!!
Still waiting for that DBMIII in 2019
After corona.
This is just beautiful
Almost forgot to watch this today 😅
God damn, Jonny.
3:11
that fucking E
i always wanted to hear the open your eyes high note from him live but this goes slightly beyond
cant believe how clean and powerful he is, considering its after his slaves set
There was no Slaves set on this tour (UK), but he did a short acoustic set with Kurt accompanying :)
@@SeanyPollard thats surprising! thought it was the same as they did here in the us. still blows my mind how much he matches dbm1 voice
jon mess is insane
this is flawless.
Will Swan is a legend.
Still watching in 2021. Think Ive added about 40 views myself.
BROOO this is the only video ive seen were Matt Mingus even slightly fucks up and i didnt even notice until after literally a year of watching this video. Incredible drummer
Someone tell me how Mess is flawless every damn night while he maxes his voice out every set. He has steel vocal chords.
He's a robot with human hair

Day 365 watching this video
Dude, even after 2007 when the song came out, its souding the same on this live one. Fucking amazing tho….
This song is from 2007
Oh shit, Craig's actually able to sing live?!?
Wow that sound quality is in fucking sane
Wish he hadn’t stopped my favorite part to tell the crowd sing it
I wish he'd hit that high note "I don't know why I fight *for* you this way"

NOTHING. NOT Kurt. Not tilian. Deliver such crisp vocals live like jonny does in this band
