Twenty One Pilots live acoustic at Fuzz 92.1 in Scranton, PA 

Tyler Joseph, 8th April 2013, during ‘Holding onto You’: “One of my favourite things about music, is called progressions. It’s called a chord progression, when you have several chords that continue to repeat. And I remember one of the things that draw me to song writing, was how different chords rubbed up next to each other. I had a very elementary understanding of music when I first started writing. I didn’t know what to call anything. I barely even know what chords I’m playing right now. There’s names for these, but when I looked down, and I saw these keys, and I heard that noise that one of them made, and I pressed another one at the same time, and those two buttons go together for some reason, I realised I could say something and people would hear me. I don’t mean to be too dramatic about it. But I want to encourage everyone to create something - try to say something. Those questions I was talking about earlier, I have a lot of big questions, you know, “what’s the point?” The further out you zoom out your perspective, the more questions you have. But for some reason, when you create something, when you are part of art, some of those questions begin to be answered. It won’t answer everything, but they begin to process. And then maybe by the end of the process, you might find out what you believe. And that’s what I hope for you.”

I was in the crowd for this performance. No more than 50 people and it was right before they blew up. I heard TOP from this same radio station when I was sitting in my car in my college parking lot waiting for my next class. They announced this free show about a month later and I still can't believe I got to see them in this type of setting. Now these guys are selling out arena tours and I couldn't be happier for them. They deserve everything coming their way.

it's so weird seeing Jish drum so gentle

I love Tyler's little foot stomps

*a couple claps* "hey, no, we might suck, you don't know, you don't know" the sass

Holy shit. Tyler's "speech" at 14:35 absolutely brought me to tears. Something about the combination of his words mixed with the transition into the entertain my faith then the whole buildup... MAN. You can tell Tyler is so passionate about what he has created. Thank God for this band.

Okay so I've tried to scream like Tyler does as he performs (shown here near the close of holding on to you) but I just sound like a dying squirrel or something. Moral of the story- this guy's amazing, on so many levels.

Idk why i love that piano slap at 2:05 😂

when vessel ruled the day... *sobs*

HE SHOWED SO MUCH EMOTION IT HURT..I CAN'T

i went to their concert in detroit, the fillmore, and let me tell you, there's something so powerful and moving about a crowd of hundreds of people chanting "we're broken people" over and over again.

I need an a acoustic version of trees.

HOW DOES HE MAKE JUST BASHING KEYS SOUND SO GOOD

Setlist 00:00 Migraine 04:39 Screen 08:15 House Of Gold 12:08 Holding On To You

I literally broke down during his speech in holding on to you

“Letters by my bed” does he mean suicide notes...oh god this changes everything. How are they so good at making dark songs so catchy and happy

why am I coming back to this when I know it's going to make me so emo

I'm seeing them in Madison square garden this summer it's so insane how far they've come |-/

Honestly the coolest part about this is how josh is using the old RaB drum set when he already had the new vessel one

Holy shit they were IN MY TOWN AND I DIDNT GO ALLOW ME TO JUST SIT AND CRY IN MY PUDDLE OF TEARS

This was 5 minutes away from my home Why did I not like tøp 3 years ago

I love the fact that Josh's drum set doesn't have toms on this one and it makes him to improvise when he needs them and even in that way he still doing and sounding great

I love how in tylers little hoty speech he said he barely even knew what chords he was playing in that moment, and how he just liked the sound they made together

"I have a question for Josh. I like your t-shirt" that's not question sweetie

I know its weird i heard these guys about a year ago and ive been a serious fan ever since. ive never been a fan to bands or concerts until i heard these open for the "Next Big Thing" Concert in St.pete FL. once i heard this song right here and "Ode to Sleep" i was hooked and i still am their CD hasn't left my CD player in months. very very captivating, hats off to Twenty|One|Pilots |-/

I was here. It was a weekday at like 2 PM. There was maybe 25 people there. Awesome show. Saw them open for Neon Trees at a private university concert the same night.

The monologue he gives while playing Holding onto you is truly inspiring.

Heard these guys in 2012, loved them since, I'd kill to see them. There music explains me

I have never loved any one single band as much as I loooove these two guys right here!¡ TWENTY l ONE l PILOTS taken the globe over!¡ xoxo

"i was like, 'mom chill out'"

Even though tylers voice is going in and out, it kind of makes the performance more beautiful

Everyone is talking about how they were 5 minutes away from this small show and didn't see them BUT IM FROM COLUMBUS AND THEY USE TO PLAY LIKE EVERYWEEK WITH LIKE NO ONE! I KNEW ABOUT TØP DURING R@B CAUSE MY TEACHER TOLD US ABOUT THEM

i cant handle how he gets so into the music its so cute and heart wrenching ugH

Scranton=20 minutes away from me - Scranton= the office - Scranton =tøp -Scranton= better than we thought

RU-vid recommendations finally work. :')

oh lord holding onto you was amazing. everything was amazing. LONG LIVE TWENTY ONE PILOTS

uploaded on my birthday :):) this is so beautiful

THE OFFICE WAS IN SCRANTON

Tyler can just swat the piano and make perfect chords.

why am getting recommended this 4 years later

*No one has a question for josh* -I have a question for josh. josh? hm i like that shirt -yes. that's sad, but ty made it be ok

i live so close to scranton i'm having one of those moments where i'm hating myself for not knowing about them sooner in my life damn

how have i not seen this

This is pure af

this is perfect in so many ways

they are so amazing and i truly truly appreciate all they do for us

All I hear is beautiful when I listen to them. Love music

So amazing!

I love you tyler and Josh!

Loved that speech! Its the only speech which has ever actually inspired me

Josh never misses a beat. Amazing

there is a method to their madness. They are absolutely amazing

I've Ben a drummer for 7 years now, and just saying, Josh messed up from around 4:00 h 4:05 but he recovered. Just to point it out haha I love these guys.

tyler joseph melts my heart

Tyler :* broking the poor piano * *kid*

This is the Rab era

I’m sorry but the only thing I could think about when I first saw this was ‘SCRANTON, WHAT? THE ELECTRIC CITY!’

Esta performance me da 100 años de vida

they make so much sense.

How have I never seen this damn performance?!

Omg! This is in Scranton!!

twenty one pilots = inspiration/motivation

Gahh I seriously love them so much

during migraine it looked like it was so hard for him to stay sitting

blessed

I can't breathe

I know this is older but they see so much different in this. Tyler especially, idk what it is maybe he's a little more anxious in this but something just off of. I think Josh must be calmer too because he's not hitting the drums very hard in this. It's weird seeing them this way but I like it. 😂😂❤️

why didn't I know about them back then? I live like 4hrs away from Scranton!

i'm crying

16:00 words of wisdom

they were in my city and I mISSED THEM

10:54 his leGS

I LIVE FIVE MINS AWAY FROM HERE WHAT

😍

did they visit dunder mifflin?

I would have killed to be there.

god damn do i wish there was a higher quality version of this

at 13:18, Josh misses the symbol haha

ahh his little foot taps sitting down at the piano

They were in my hometown 5 years ago...how the F did I not know!?!? This really just ruined my night 😣

this is fuckin great

There are no people singing we're broken people with him...?

This was only four years ago Just look at them now

Yay April 8th is my birthday

Josh missed his hi-hat @ 13:17 and then he just laughs it off

05:05 ❤

this is important

The sad part is this was close to where I live but I didn't know them

I was just watched the office HAHAHA

Josh looks so tired and un-energetic what

2019 anyone

I'm curious to know if Tyler had formal training on the piano. I know he's really the only one who does music in the fam but I wonder....

I'm 5 mins. Too this AND I REALIZE THIS IS IN SCRATON PA AHHHHH I LIVE LESS THAT TEN MILES AWAY FROM THAT AAAAAAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I wish they didn’t cut out him talking!

At 13:18 jish doesn't hit the high hat, but it sounds cool with the song
