im so pissed off that no one talks about his vocal talent, to sing that well live and employ the techinques hes using, while playing guitar well, is ridiculous
And this is nothing on what his live vocals became. I love the energy here but damn a few years on from this and it’s night and day vocal wise. But if a genius is mr johns.
No one? Maybe here. There's a lot of people talking about his wide range of vocal skills and techniques, including myself! But definitely his vocal performances needed to be more appreciated outside their fans who obviously can appreciate and love his voice. I even published something about that fact on Silverchair FB fan group. It's great you appreciate his skills too!
I believe this is because Natalie Imbruglia was at this gig, she got backstage to meet Daniel, he was shy, she approached him in the corner and introduced herself, they end up married.
I heard a clip of it, it’s a good cleanser for him, I didn’t know about them until February 2015 when I got my voice output iPhone which is blind accessible, 2 months later I looked to see if Natalie Imbruglia had any other hits, she did and they’re awesome. That’s how I found out about Daniel, when I found out he was a rocker, I had to look him up, pretty good shit man. LOL When I heard straight lines on that same story, I thought “oh shit!!! so that’s silver chair. LOL I thought they were brand-new back in July 2007 on 93.7 KLBJ which is an Austin Texas rock station, which is still around, turns out they been playing since 94 when I was 11. LOL started in 92 when I went blind. I’d love to meet both him and Natalie, I’m so happy I can put my 25 year crush for her aside to realise which I always did, it’s a shame they broke up the way they did, it makes sense why he was gone so much. I always wondered how would be if they got back together, would it be the same? or would it be different. LOL Once my gigs go further, if I run into him or her. I’d especially like to show Daniel some of my stuff I’ve wrote on guitar and piano, most likely guitar. I can carry that anywhere, unless I battery power my keyboard. LOL I only have one whole finger on my right hand, that’s my middle finger. Ha ha Ha the rest of them are 1 to half digits, my index are 2 digits. Oh yeah, I also wear a prosthetic leg colour I guess you could say I’m a mixture of Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan. LOLJK Take care Daniel, love you buddy. Thank God for Natalie and the iPhone for the blind, that’s how I was able to look you up.
@@jbryan8864 I’ve just looked it up and it was February!! - between Australian and American shows, pretty crazy, but yeah you were right about the fans experiencing the early songs
Literally 2 months ago I went to London with my girlfriend and we passed right by this venue like 3 times in camden. I can't believe it's still up and running after all these years, and above all that I didn't realize it!
WOW! The 1st concert I ever attended and so pleased to see this improved version. Too many good moments.. emotion sickness, faultline, vocals in miss you love and cemetery... leave me out... if you can get footage of Brixton academy 1999 next please :) Thank you so much! Happy Xmas!
Omg Daniels voice is cooked in this, by at least half way, he can't get to any of the high notes in miss you love.; You can hear him trying to fight through it and get up but it just ain't happening. He made it work, touring is a grind, surprised it didn't happen more often.
Three days before this show they were at livestock in Tampa, my dad went to see them and he told me it was the best thing he’s ever experienced. If you can ever get ahold of that show please let me know.
Definitely my favourite Daniel hair style - that medium length. Such a shame he was so thin and unwell. Thank god he got through it and we can still enjoy his music today. Yep and even though I love Frogstomp Daniel all the way through to Futurenever Daniel - Neon Ballroom Daniel will always be my fave 💖
@@ronesss33 obviously i didnt mean to be offensive BTW! But yeah i agree! I luv Young Modern Daniel so much too, it's like he decided not to age after that album came out 😂🖤
@@ronesss33 I love this hairstyle, too. That's why I'm thankful that there's also the later Diorama era where he looked much healthier but still had this hairstyle. Well, plus a beard.
Thank you so much for your work on this! An amazing era, with some tunes that were super rare for that year (probably because Ballroom was not quite released yet).
@@richardreeder yes it was. I cant even imagine if they were in this time doing concerts because the crowds would be dead as crap, people would staring at them through there dumb phones recording and not actually enjoying anything(that would suck) and that, would be the killer of not even wanting to perform.
i feel like around this era was their true Silver era just trying to say them evolving into their better form even Daniel found a way to look cooler and having an even more unique personality he even had that mighty BLACK BEAUTY Custom Les Paul of Honor Guitar that i adore to death.. not mention how much i adore my SG s too i just think this was their years where they appealed the most right between Freakshow and Neonballroom you get my point hey? is also awesome that they final this gig with both NO ASSOCIATION and SPAWN AGAIN 2 big reasons for me to love this band
@@Matheus.Richard I agree that anything is possible. It’s really only a matter of if Daniel truly wants to reform the band. I’m think Ben and Chris would in a heartbeat, but Daniel is the driving force of the band and without him there simply is no Silverchair.
@@crustyskellington4056 yeah I agree with that too. Go watch the groovin at the moo concert from 2010. There’s a few songs they played that were meant for their sixth album. They’re called Machina Collecta and Sixteen. Just by the way those songs sounded showed the direction the band was gonna go in (and it definitely wasn’t a rock n roll direction).
@@jmd417 yeah I heard them a few years and they seemed quite cool and edgy, very different though. Daniel reworked 16 for his solo album. He definitely seems to be on a whole other wavelength these days!
I had a show booked at this venue before Covid started - was around my birthday last year but got postponed because singer had sepsis, then got postponed because of Covid. Can't wait for live shows to return, man. Thanks for the video!
Lets be honest, as much as many fans preferring this era and earlier, the band Silverchair mk1was built on angst. So after one learns to cope in life (maturity). You can't blame the guy for not wanting to mimic, fake angst or rehash the same formula. Neon Ballroom was a beautiful compromise before the transition into Silverchair mk2 the "we can actually write, sing and play our instruments" unlike a lot of repeat the formula bands of that era. Alas bittersweet but undeniably one of the greats :)
I'm still sobbing over the colossal loss of Edward Van Halen, Van Halens first 4 records are untouchable -silverchair's first 4 are my fave as well. Weird realizing si!verchair members weren't even born when Eddie Van Halen blew up in just 1 minute 39 seconds heard around the world ( eruption of course) that whole debut album -start to finish =perfection Van Halen and silverchair __worlds apart,but i like what like. peace _/RIP EVH
What I would give to have seen them at this time. I saw Silverchair on the Young Modern tour and they played nothing from the first 2 albums. It was a great show but I was a little bummed.
Darn it, this was sooo close to being the perfect setlist! The only screw up was "Tomorrow" being the acoustic version. Such a bummer...otherwise, all the other singles (except "Shade") were hit. I miss this band so much. They tragically died after DIORAMA.
Great show, and thanks for posting it, but man the ads are just out of control. Some in the middle of songs. Like, really? Whyyy 😒 ETA: They're pretty much all during songs. Wtf.
Eh, sorry. This channel isn't monetized by me. Any ads are by Google or by companies (lables/etc) that claim (c) over the music. RU-vid scans the video on upload and give permissions to anyone who owns right on the songs. Best you can do is either try to get an Ad blocker that works with Yotubue (they're making it harder to find them), or if you pay them for a "RU-vid Premium" subscription all Ads are removed from all videos. Sorry though :/
@AltCopperpot5 appreciate your reply man. That really sucks. I would've hoped you'd at least be getting the ad revenue 😓 I used to have YT premium so experiencing the sheer volume of ads now is a bit of a shock to the system 😣 Ads aside I am really enjoying your uploads, so thank you! 💜🤘
Miss the old silverchair, until the ballroom album. They could have created a new project for the newest albums , but should've kept silverchair the way it was
15 when frog was released. I see pictures of myself at 15 and seems a lifetime ago, I can’t even remember who I was then. Personally I love the sound of all albums, I’m not stuck on the heavy rock.
