A special solo set by City and Colour (Dallas Green) for Canada's 150th birthday in Niagara-On-The-Lake at the Jackson-Triggs Amphitheatre on July 1, 2017! This video is of Dallas performing 'Missing (Serravalle).'
Dallas is so powerful, every time I have seen him live I cry through the entire concert. This song really hit home to me, my grandfather doesn't have much time left battling brain cancer. Thank you, Dallas! With all the love in the world.
Knowing already the history behind the song and his reason for not playing live very often; it put a lump in my throat just watching/listening to him explain the song a little. The hesitation and pause. You can tell he still feels it like the first time he played it. Powerful stuff. I covered this song and sent it to a friend who'd recently lost her father. It's just a really tough song.
I was at the concert and I had never heard this song. When he started playing it I couldn't help but sit, stare and listen. I've never heard the song or the story behind it but it choked me up. Shows you how powerful and meaningful music really is.
The best part about it is the fact that NO ONE is talking, "woo"ing, screaming, interrupting in any way once he starts playing. I don't understand why Dallas gets a ton of drunk disrespectful idiots in the US, but this makes me happy that he gets the respect he deserves in Canada.
I listened to this for the first time last year. It evoked such an emotional response then. My son, Joshua, died unexpectedly on Aug 4th of this year. I played this at his funeral. This song captured my feelings perfectly. Words cannot express how thankful I am for Dallas Green and his music.
