Seeing Kurt pull this song off live like never before 8 years later makes me so happy. He used to never be able to hit these notes! Thank you so much for this video!
Kurt will always be my favorite vocalist for this band. I just feel he has such a great chemistry with the guitar tones and how the drums swing in and out. I’d be happy if both Tillian and Kurt would work on an album with the guys.
This song suddenly started playing and I just mindlessly enjoyed listening to Kurt's voice. It took me a while to actually take a look at the video and realize that we won't ever see Tim playing with them live again. Glad he's going to be featured in the next videos though.
If tilian ever leaves (hope he never does btw cause he's a perfect fit rn) I'm cool with kurt coming back. I'll always wonder what kind of music they'd make with him.
He killed it. Never thought I'd question having Tillian as a singer because he is so amazing, but this definitely makes me wonder what some songs could have turned out like if Kurt was still in the band. Goes down on my top ten list of best performed emo songs live ever easily.
Well they booted Kurt for his live performances. I don’t think Kurt could pull off the songs Tillian does with DGD, like wise with Kurt’s songs and Tillian’s vocals
I love kurt but if he came back we would lose Tillian. Who dosent love Tillian? Maybe they should make 3 bands. DANCE JOHNNY DANCE, DANCE KURT DANCE AND DANCE TILLIAN DANCE. As long as they keep their unique sound everyone wins.
@@ohjesusitsnathan5649 I dont doubt he was able to, I just dont think it's a skill he had honed yet. Not to mention he would be doing it on top of singing, which already tires out his voice due to his stylistic choice. I think if he screamed back on that album it would've messed him up pretty bad.
Walt Chambelain no, this was in 2016. They did the ten year tour in Europe, Kurt and Jonny each did two songs. Tilian and Jon were there but they weren’t on stage for this because they didn’t appear on Happiness
Imo, when kurt travis at his best performance, his voice is similar to jonny craig (but not close enough) i just hear him sing Lemon meringue live and hit the note
Will did the harsh vocals on happiness, Jon was never on this song (hence why he left the stage when they played happiness songs during the 10 year anniversary tour).
Such a ripper. RIP Tim, always looked like he was having such a great time on stage. His contributions to DGD will be so sorely missed.
grooving so hard. he is missed immensely
this will ALWAYS be Kurt’s song

for real, makes you wonder what could have been
@@k1xnt Man. What SHOULD have been tbh
k1xnt _ He’s a legend. That’s what he is.
Saw him last year and he did this song again and it was still amazing ♥️♥️
Kurt's dancing saves lives
to be a vocalist of dgd you should know how to dance.... tillian dance better tho haha
Easily my favorite track from Happiness. Kurt, you rock dude.
Christopher Montenegro Fuck the guy can sing, just belting them notes out :)
Kurt will always be my favorite vocalist for this band. I just feel he has such a great chemistry with the guitar tones and how the drums swing in and out. I’d be happy if both Tillian and Kurt would work on an album with the guys.
have you heard the song Shelf Life? It's a new DGD song with Kurt
grunt616 I love it but definitely wish it was more of a regular occurrence
He definitely is my favorite era of DGD.
same
best dgd era by far. Agreed!
Wow this i the best live version of this song I've seen
This song suddenly started playing and I just mindlessly enjoyed listening to Kurt's voice. It took me a while to actually take a look at the video and realize that we won't ever see Tim playing with them live again. Glad he's going to be featured in the next videos though.
Holy shit... did he just quit smoking before this? I mean holy fuck he's AMAZING now, he's like he sounded on the records
Quit smoking in like 2013.
Now here’s me hoping they perform this song when DGD tours with royal coda
Well shit
My dreams of seeing dgd with kurt live have been all lost
Sike
@@soaring__sky Same! I had already bought tickets. I was so sad since they don't come over to Europe too often
If tilian ever leaves (hope he never does btw cause he's a perfect fit rn) I'm cool with kurt coming back. I'll always wonder what kind of music they'd make with him.
This kind of music
@@TeSoad90 No, they've grown
check out royal coda
Here's to hoping we get a jon mess ft. on the new royal coda album
andrew could take over tho. his voice fit perfectly in dgd
RIP TIM we love you buddy
Kurt is amazing he has such consistent vocals, and sounds same live as he does studio version
love the bass in this
I LOVE tilian, but the way Kurt interacts with the crowd is gold! Plus he still sounds as he did years later
Man i just love every one of their singers. i want an album with all three so fucking bad
He killed it. Never thought I'd question having Tillian as a singer because he is so amazing, but this definitely makes me wonder what some songs could have turned out like if Kurt was still in the band.

Jon Doe they also booted him for dbm2
ohhhh this was nasty. I wish kurt would come back
john doe Hope you enjoyed Shelf Life!
I love kurt but if he came back we would lose Tillian. Who dosent love Tillian? Maybe they should make 3 bands. DANCE JOHNNY DANCE, DANCE KURT DANCE AND DANCE TILLIAN DANCE. As long as they keep their unique sound everyone wins.
The best Kurt Travis perfomance in youtube
This is possibly their best performance of this song
RIP Tim
My number one fav song off Happiness
Been watching old videos from Kurt, and damn he's so much better now, seeing him actually hit the high notes is just dope!!
Man I wish to be there so bad to see kurt singing that song :(
We miss kurt !!
Kurt sang the last line wrong lmao. Still so happy this video exists.
Love Will's beanie. Wish he would wear it more.
I dig Tilan but Kurt & Jonny will always be my original Dance Gavin Dance!
Luis V well, they are the original DGD lol
reminds me of me
So much energy!
kurt lo amo
I miss shows :( They're the only time I truly feel free from the rest of the world...
Its So lit!
So...was Kurt showing up just a random thing? Because this was quite a bit after the 10 year anniversary show.
Probably a blue swan thing so he was there to perform his solo stuff anyway. Could be wrong tho
They did the anniversary tour again in Europe I believe
KURTS REDEMPTION. my boi got it to-GETHER.
i want to dance to this at my wedding :)
Let's all appreciate how much weight will has lost!!!
Pre-buff Andrew is odd to see
yeaa boyeee
Scream or rap with crazy Riff the Will swan
Kurt's on motherfuckin point goddamn
This the kind of fire you can't even look at.
👌🆒🆒🆒👌👌👌
Low effort but real........ SWAN/Travis 2020!
Yeah, Kurt sounded great, but can we give props to Will for those screams?
also Kurt Travis is a better screamer than Will. It'd have been cool if Kurt did the screaming on Happiness
Will did the original screams.
@@jondoe1916 I am aware
I dont think he was able to scream too well during that time. Seems like a skill he tuned while he was with A Lot Like Birds.
@@DnAfilms405 Actually I've seen some live videos from back in '09 with Kurt and it appears he has been able to scream for a long time
@@ohjesusitsnathan5649 I dont doubt he was able to, I just dont think it's a skill he had honed yet. Not to mention he would be doing it on top of singing, which already tires out his voice due to his stylistic choice. I think if he screamed back on that album it would've messed him up pretty bad.
Wtf? Dit was in Haarlem???
Yep, vorig jaar voor de 10 jarige jubileum.
idd wtf hoe heb ik dit totaal gemist
Where jon mess and Tilian?
Well John left the band for this album and tour, and tillian didn’t come around for like 5 more years so
Walt Chambelain no, this was in 2016. They did the ten year tour in Europe, Kurt and Jonny each did two songs. Tilian and Jon were there but they weren’t on stage for this because they didn’t appear on Happiness
Imo, when kurt travis at his best performance, his voice is similar to jonny craig (but not close enough) i just hear him sing Lemon meringue live and hit the note
Where's Titian
who?...lol
Gabriel Escobar putri titian?
i think you where trying to say Titan
Spiro RabbitX I think you were trying to say Tillian
face. palm.
Anyone else catch Kurt mess up on the second part with the “hips, lips”
Is that josh benton with a beard?
Niel Craig I think it's Andrew from Eidola
fuck , that was reem
So nice not seeing Johnny . Yasss lawd
Will is screaming for Jmess, is there anything Will Swan can't do?
NJDEVILS1214 this was the only album Jon wasnt on.
Yeah, Will actually screams on this record. Which I enjoy a ton, wish they did it more often.
Make bad music
Will did the harsh vocals on happiness, Jon was never on this song (hence why he left the stage when they played happiness songs during the 10 year anniversary tour).
I thought will was a better screamer
DGD is better when Will screams....
Where the fuck is zac! 🤘🏽
Kurt isn't bad but change is good ill stick with Tilian and jam tree city sessions.
Cory Webb tree sessions is nothing but auto tune
Joseph M umm no
Stick to auto tune
