Kurt was the best dgd era , self titled and happiness are so diverse and crazy , incredible melodies mixed with the power of the screams, great crafted songs
People bust on Kurt and Will here, but the two albums with Kurt are my favorite, the whole jazz and funk feel of the records made them really unique in my opinion
@@elephantricity DBM1 was arguably Jon's worst vocals. They're his softest, shoutiest vocals even more so than Deathstar. If you want good skrams era Mess vocals, listen to Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean. At least he emotes on that album.
Kurt is my favorite singer but man I wish I could have traveled back in time to this set to give this dude a bottle of water since his throat dried up like a desert
I hate how everyone disses on Kurt. He has always been my favorite singer in DGD and I think he's superb live. Sure, he sounds like he's struggling a bit, but he pulls through.
He’s just so much better in the studio, he’s way too off of the actual song half the time it bugs me personally but the song is just a tab faster than it should be and it throws the whole thing off for me
00:08 Carl Barker, 05:50 Lemon Meringue Tie, 10:27 Tree Village, 14:21 NASA, 18:31 I'm Down With Brown Town, 22:51 Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most, 27:40 Don't Tell Dave, 31:41 The Robot With Human Hair Part III, 36:37 Hot Water on Wool, 38:11 Burning Down The Nicotine Armoire Pt. 2. (encore) 44:17 Alex English. note; that they only played the first part of Hot Water on Wool and then Will took over with his screams and they started performing their song Burning Down The Nicotine Armoire Pt. 2 ?

jon's screams and will's are totally different. there's no comparing them. i hope they integrate more of both in the future, actually. it'd be sweet in my opinion.
@@music_penguin the new album is supposed to be the best one ever they claim it’s also got the most tracks of any album. Could be happening very soon 👀
Will swan is a god! Playing that guitar on Lemon Meringue Tie, screaming, and unlike Jon mess he screams every single line with no break! Not dissing mess he's sweet, but will is the king pin!
I will never dispute Will's god status. However, his screams just aren't very good live. They sound sick as hell on the album, but not live. He doesn't miss anything on guitar when he screams which is just ridiculous. But he is too short of breathe to say the words especially in 'Carl Barker', and it just doesn't sound good. Oh. And Jon Mess is an amazing screamer. He gets better with every album and Acceptance Speech is his best for quality of his screams. Wheveras most screamers vocals get worse every album, his get better. Holy fuck this band gets better with ever album.
Datkidwiththestuff Fuck yah, tbh I dont remember when I posted this comment but mess is way way good live now. His screams are clear, and new songs are hella verbose so I officially take back my previous comment xD
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. DGD's guitarists are amazing, because it's like they're both lead and rhythm guitarists at the same time. They're so magical and perfect.
For all those saying they love Kurt, check out the band he went to right after DGD named A lot Like Birds. The album conversation piece is my top album by far.
I usually don't like newer post hardcore bands but I love this sound, it doesn't seem very derivative and you can tell they were trying new things, makes me kinda mad at myself for dismissing them back in the day.
i love seeing this old video of My favorite dance gavin dance lineup except without jon mess....Kurt kills it live soo much more now with A Lot LIke Birds...but this is definitely his best work...I listen to the self titled album the most out of all the albums because it had kurt and jon mess..LEGENDARY BAND..and no one gives enough credit to Matt Mingus...that guys a genius
@@kylepelletier420 seriously man, It had to be this way in order for this to happen, sucks that tillian is a bonehead but I can’t be mad at this outcome, it was the only way (other than a 15-20-25-30etc year reunion) this would happen sooner. Next…………win the lottery some day so I won’t have to go awaaaaaaaay (to work). Lmao!
Will Swan is one of the rare guitarists that can scream AND play lead guitar at the same time! it must have been a big responsibility to take over the screaming after Jon Mess left
Kurt is really struggling here :/ and Jon mess is amazing, and will is a boss but he is totally taking breaks. Jon would go a long time without taking a breath and then break. will takes a breath every 3 seconds but doesn't breakstrain.
No. Will is awesome. He does what he has to to keep it sounding amazing. I get what he does and the difficulty of bit, being a musician myself. Props to Jon and Will. Also I'm a WOman :)
It was a fantastic show!...im in there somewhere. lol. DGD Rocks! Kut did have a rough night on his high notes but oh well, but couldn't notice when I was there. ha, but ya. Great stuff!
These guys are sweet. I love them cuz they are so different and so far from mainstream. I like seeing modern bands do their own thing for once. When I saw them last year they were WAY better, but I'm sure they are just having an off night. I love Kurts voice. And I wanna give the drummer mad props not only for his drumming but also for his kick-ass set! I want his drum set!!!!
Although it wasn't his best show, Kurt Travis does not get the recognition he deserves. He is a fucking genius. Hopefully everyone knows about his band after DGD called A Lot Like Birds
@chelseasmile I agree 110% with u Kurt was amazing and the self titled and happiness are 2 or the best albums I've ever heard battle mountain was just johhny wailing away because of his super high ego and u can't even understand half the crap johhnys even trying to say when he's singing

Kurt sounded m Horrible in Carl barker he wasn't carrying out the notes he was cutting them short making it sound like he was yelling more than singing
21wyndan I mean, live shows take a fuck ton of energy compared to studio recording . that was 50 mins worth of singing, it was probably hurting at that point
@DaylightSlave Thank you so much! =] Personal message me your question and I'll get back to you as soon as I get back home, I'm about to leave out of town for a week.
Yes, a ton. I've been filming a ton lately and haven't been home to edit them, plus I'll be out of town this week, so as soon as I get back a whole bunch will be going up. All the bands we have interviews with are listed on the left side of my channel. =]
To me, kurt travis is an awesome singer, he maybe a little weak in some songs but hy, that's what constant touring does to your voice, at least he sings truthfully and tries his best to get those high pitches, look how he struggles with his voice and still continues to go on, that is why i respect him, atleast doesn't cheat by using auto tune like today's artists are claim to be "singers"
Kurt was the best dgd era , self titled and happiness are so diverse and crazy , incredible melodies mixed with the power of the screams, great crafted songs
Jonny Craig with DGD has the best albums. But I do agree Kurt Travis was best fitting
@@travismartinez5331 AGREEDDDD
Still like Kurt and Jonny over Tilian
People bust on Kurt and Will here, but the two albums with Kurt are my favorite, the whole jazz and funk feel of the records made them really unique in my opinion
Andrew Huffer agree
They kept it glued together To be what it is.
Kurt has something special in his vocal, like a hidden sorrow vibe lol. I dont know how to describe it
I love Kurt, and same. Those albums are perfect. And the way will screams. So good!! Have you heard of five minute drive?
@@zechs5079 completely wrong, you try screaming this shit while playing guitar the way will does. You’re trippin
Will Swan is so ungodly talented holy shit he can do backing vocals AND lead unclean vocals while playing guitar! What a legend!
He’s slept on like a mattress
I actually think his dirty vocals sound better than Mess'.
@@elephantricity lol no. Even kurt's scream is way better than will
@@zainon4983 the only good vocals mess did was on DTBMI
@@elephantricity DBM1 was arguably Jon's worst vocals. They're his softest, shoutiest vocals even more so than Deathstar. If you want good skrams era Mess vocals, listen to Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean. At least he emotes on that album.

Nero7713 I agree wholeheartedly, I saw him recently (actually at the same venue as this video) and he was pitch perfect
Kurt is my favorite DGD vocalist as well.
Mine too!
He’s just so much better in the studio, he’s way too off of the actual song half the time it bugs me personally but the song is just a tab faster than it should be and it throws the whole thing off for me
Will's screaming
Random dude gets on stage to give Kurt a hug, dives back into the crowd
What a moment

Thanks 👍
I can't believe that's how old this era of DGD is, when Happiness was brand new and MySpace was still a thing. Ahhh where did the days go...
Johnny Maltos imagine how it feels now
pain.
But it's so good still to this day
And tree city sessions 2 is evidence.
Wtf is that Tim? How old is he now? He's a vampire haha
That’s where I first discovered DGD on my cousins MySpace page😂 he had ‘And I Invented Times New Roman’ on his page I’ve been hooked ever since
Kurt's non - giving up attitude is so good that he has such a hard time singing in this set and chooses to keep going no matter what.
This jazzy sound that they had for this particular album was amazing.

Because it is a bit sped up, haha
2021 and i still missing DGD days w/ Kurt.
essa época não foi nada menos do que mágica!
Kurt and Jonny u.u
jon's screams and will's are totally different. there's no comparing them. i hope they integrate more of both in the future, actually. it'd be sweet in my opinion.
Look up Secret Band. It's pretty much DGD's line up without Tillian.
MrAlistairGrout Oh and Will screams in it.
boy are you going to be happy
It never happened… 🥺
@@music_penguin the new album is supposed to be the best one ever they claim it’s also got the most tracks of any album. Could be happening very soon 👀
I love Jon Mess and im glad hes back but good god did Will Swan do an insane job with the screams
those beginning chords to tree village gives me goosebumps
ayyy
ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Love this era of DGD. Kurt albums have such a vibe!!!
Still vibing
STILL vibing
I fucking love Kurt Travis man
+Albert Mendoza He's a beautiful person.
+hacdmb41 he is! ❤
Best singer DGD ever had in my opinion with all due respect to Tilian and Jonny. He can sign and scream!
He's pretty overrated. He's terrible live.
Back during this era, yeah. He sounds straight out of studio now a days.
i can honestly say ive watched this video at least once a day for the past month. so good
I just realized Kurt is high out of his mind here
Pretty sure he’s trippin lol
@@adamrose6969 why tripping?
@@Pokeoakestcg just gives off that acid vibe haha
thats the clearest ive ever heard kurt's voice on a live video. i love it
Everything on Happiness was so funky, I love it.
I love how at the end of 'Nasa' he sings 'I'm down with brown town.... '. And the next song is 'I'm Down With Brown Town'.
Will swan is a god! Playing that guitar on Lemon Meringue Tie, screaming, and unlike Jon mess he screams every single line with no break! Not dissing mess he's sweet, but will is the king pin!
True that... i love dgd but im not sure who i like better on unclean vocals
I think Jon Mess is good at straight-up unclean vocals (it's easier to understand him), but Will is FUCKING GREAT at multitasking.
I will never dispute Will's god status. However, his screams just aren't very good live. They sound sick as hell on the album, but not live. He doesn't miss anything on guitar when he screams which is just ridiculous. But he is too short of breathe to say the words especially in 'Carl Barker', and it just doesn't sound good.
Oh.
And Jon Mess is an amazing screamer. He gets better with every album and Acceptance Speech is his best for quality of his screams. Wheveras most screamers vocals get worse every album, his get better. Holy fuck this band gets better with ever album.

Jamie Hilton All hail king Mess
i really miss this lineup :(
Wavves is dope af
Me too. I stopped listening after Kurt left and Matt is a good friend from high school. I use to go to every show. It’ll never be the same
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. DGD's guitarists are amazing, because it's like they're both lead and rhythm guitarists at the same time.
They're so magical and perfect.
I love DGD with tilian, but the musicianship of Travis is just sick. It is so emotional, it makes me wanna cry, and thats rare
For all those saying they love Kurt, check out the band he went to right after DGD named A lot Like Birds. The album conversation piece is my top album by far.
i miss happines times :C
i know
I usually don't like newer post hardcore bands but I love this sound, it doesn't seem very derivative and you can tell they were trying new things, makes me kinda mad at myself for dismissing them back in the day.
i believe in kurt travis supremacy
Me too comment from two years ago. Me too
It sucks that Kurt wasn’t the best sounding live but Happiness is such a classic album so I forgive him
2020 and he’s still my favorite
10:40 lappiness is hard to fiiiiiiiiiiiii
i didnt catch a break
maybe i am dying insiiiiiiiiAAAAAAA
the great and mighty cheese wheel February, Been so Lonely...

Kurt Travis is such a rad dude. And he's gotten so much better live since he parted ways with DGD.
Mad respect to Will for doing Leads and doing vocals
one of my fav bands of the era
This has to be THE DGD concert one would’ve killed to go!
I hope they do this in the future somehow.
Your wish has been granted

Next…………win the lottery some day so I won’t have to go awaaaaaaaay (to work).
Lmao!
It seems like almost everytime I get on youtube there's a full set of some band I love because of BVTV. I love it!
Will swan is handling stuff alright with the unclean vocals
Honestly he's doing amazing considering he's not a strong singer
+Tyler Mason neither Jon mess or Johnny Craig are very clean either and they do perfect on stage
+Tyler Mason I know this is old, but i think he does pretty well screaming and playing the guitar
Hell yeah, looks difficult as fuck. Dude got skill
I met Kurt and he’s honestly one of the nicest strangers.
My favorite DGD era
Amazing setlist
The raw energy and emotion during NASA is insane
Will Swan is one of the rare guitarists that can scream AND play lead guitar at the same time! it must have been a big responsibility to take over the screaming after Jon Mess left
I love their old stuff
Kurt is really struggling here :/
and Jon mess is amazing, and will is a boss but he is totally taking breaks. Jon would go a long time without taking a breath and then break. will takes a breath every 3 seconds but doesn't breakstrain.
no offense man, let me see you play those guitar riffs period much less read the lyrics off a sheet of paper at the same time
No. Will is awesome. He does what he has to to keep it sounding amazing. I get what he does and the difficulty of bit, being a musician myself. Props to Jon and Will. Also I'm a WOman :)
Cana cravens haha then awesome. But foreal I feel like will is going to pass out everytime he starts screaming
It was a fantastic show!...im in there somewhere. lol. DGD Rocks! Kut did have a rough night on his high notes but oh well, but couldn't notice when I was there. ha, but ya. Great stuff!
Kurt was amazing in this video
Youre joking right
his voice is so blown out in this live session.
sdds Kurt Travis!
Valber Freitas Saudades desse Dance Gavin Dance. E bem que poderiam ter colocado Rock Solid nessa set.
Also, I love how this video was added a day before my birthday last year.
24:55 Singing Matt!
I literally don't have enough love in my body to give what this video deserves :\
this will always be my favorite line up of DGD :/
These guys are sweet. I love them cuz they are so different and so far from mainstream. I like seeing modern bands do their own thing for once. When I saw them last year they were WAY better, but I'm sure they are just having an off night. I love Kurts voice.

Will headbanging in Carl Barker. Fricking amazing.
Although it wasn't his best show, Kurt Travis does not get the recognition he deserves. He is a fucking genius. Hopefully everyone knows about his band after DGD called A Lot Like Birds
Ouch. Kurt sounds like he's forcing his voice a bit much. I can't imagine how he sounded by the end of tour.
Love them, will and Kurt have had much better days 😁
24:53 matt singing along lol I love to see other band members besides the lead singing along.
Kurt is my favourite DGD singer. He nails it
I love Kurt's cute ass dance moves.
i fell in love with Kurts voice its going to be hard for me to listen to dgd now that he is gone
Personally I think Will does some good ass screams specially while he is playing guitar. DGD FOR THE WIN
i wish i could see them live :(
Kurt should back when jonny leave the band in 2011-2013
You can tell they put a lot of energy and effort in this performance! A for effort.
Even if Kurt doesnt sound his best here, with the amount of energy these guys have and the songs they pull off, i think they fucked shit up.
just last weekend i saw allb in chicago and i feared a performance like this but holy fuck he was impossibly amazing
Kurt is so awesome T_ T
They should bring him back again if they do another album. Love his jazzy like sound.
@32:40 they finally start to help him with some effects
thank you!
everyone looks so young here... :o
Well it was 4 years ago... But I agree with you
Kurt sounds incredible live now a days
johnny should be let back into the band or atleast to only do a downtown battle moutain 3
thanks you so much! :D i'm glad you've been enjoying the videos. i appreciate all your comments too, i see your username come up all the time.
they really had tempo problems back in the day haha. very young though
kurt, johnny, its all dgd all fuckin good to me. glad theyre gettin ready for another album
wooooo
@chelseasmile I agree 110% with u Kurt was amazing and the self titled and happiness are 2 or the best albums I've ever heard battle mountain was just johhny wailing away because of his super high ego and u can't even understand half the crap johhnys even trying to say when he's singing

Ah man Kurt Travis in his Og years, hope they have him do an album since Tilian is out.
that awkward moment when kurt sings jonny's songs better than jonny can
You're kidding, right..?
I miss Travis SO much.
Kurt sounded m
Horrible in Carl barker he wasn't carrying out the notes he was cutting them short making it sound like he was yelling more than singing
21wyndan I mean, live shows take a fuck ton of energy compared to studio recording . that was 50 mins worth of singing, it was probably hurting at that point
only issue with that, is carl barker is opening song xD but i can see if he did a set like the previous day which would make sence why they arnt 100%
😻😻😻😻 Fuck, I really love Kurt Travis 😻😻😻😻
This is terrible, WIll swan is fucking awesome live but Kurt is not good at all, honestly...
this is amazing!
i had to clear out my throat for him in the end there lol im glad Kurt has improvedb
i fell in love with kurts voice its going to be hard for me to listen to dgd now that hes gone
Lets just appreciate how f*cking talented Will Swan is.
From the heart and soul is the way to rock or art
