He Said He Had A Story @ Bowery Ballroom (7/10/09)

[cicatriz3]

I was there :) 

[Kukkii1337]

The backup singer seems to not be doing Anything :') Casey makes up for it, CASEY CAN DO HIS OWN DAMN BACKUP SINGING

[Shapiro216]

Does anyone know how to play this song on guitar? I've always wanted to learn, but I can't find tabs or covers anywhere.

[ellis2k3]

Minus the Bear is better than The Dear Hunter.

[KurenaiDISCHORD]

@ellis2k3 Probably one of the more random & incorrect comments I've seen in a while. Not only is the music so different, it's a million times as dull & uninspired both lyrically & vocally. The instrumentation's alright, though.

[CrazyLegs911]

Of course the ending is over-dubbed. Unless Casey somehow learned how to double-track his own voice live.

(Hint: That's impossible)

[hnbsniper]

@CrazyLegs911 Tibetan monks do it

[ZiyusTV]

Everyone listened to his story. >_>

[joshwithguitarinhand]

just heard these guys today. im starting to think their my new favorite band....like, ever,,,, gonna go buy the album now:]

[modnarandom]

The lyrics are like... Summer Lovin'... but at a whorehouse.

[theotherguitarmansam]

this song is so fucked up but i love it... might do a cover...

[KTMykel]

Sounds exactly like the studio song.

[shadymathers72]

@KTMykel thats because the real song is dubbed over this video for some stupid reason. but they still sound amazing live

[KTMykel]

@shadymathers72 That is lame, Why put a live video up then?

[somethingorotherism]

@shadymathers72

don't know if i believe that buddy.....

[modnarandom]

@shadymathers72 I think it's just right at the end that the album version kicks in - perhaps the audio from the live recording was lost or something but you can definitely tell that up until the ending it's all live.

[Punkmanjode]

Im kinda sad that the last part has the audio overdubbed. Wanna hear how they sounded at the end. But oh well. Still amazing.

You can really tell right at the end that its dubbed because when the last "What was your name" line is sang the sound goes longer than Casey's mouth is at the mic

[wackyvee2003]

saw them last night they were amazing going to see them again soon :)

[GCScreamer17]

Nate always was a good dancer.

[MurderOnDancefloor]

I am so lucky to have found such an amazing band. Being able to listen to them alone is honorable.

[lotuswings]

Driving from Houston to San Antonio in August to see these guys (for the first time), Porcupine Tree (2nd) and Coheed (5th). Could NOT be more excited. These guys are epic.

[jcreighton9090]

@lotuswings August 18th eff yes

[lotuswings]

@jcreighton9090 Very likely to be the best show ever in existence ever. Looking forward to seeing every single person there. I will be friends with all.

[CMPr0ductions]

now that i saw what the band looks like...i like them 50 times more.....fat dudes make awesome music

[GCScreamer17]

Fuck yeah!

[ApplySomePressure54]

The last chorus was definitely not added over.

You can still hear and feel the live atmosphere and you can hear variations in the harmonies between the band members that aren't in the studio version.

[19markle19]

I love how animated the drummer is

[DjFrizzle]

Ohh it felt like heaven but I'm sure she was in hell...MAN I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!

Come to South East Asia (Indonesia first, ahem) PLEEAAASSE!! :D

[luvaddictXO]

they're so freaking incredible live, I couldn't tell the last bit had been dubbed until I saw the comment saying so.

TDH. oh, so good.

[ohohmynow]

The greatest band on earth. There is no one that can compare in any genre. Songwriting, composing, and live execution, nobody beats them. Flawless.

[keybldemaster]

On par with The Beatles.

[JoshKhellin]

@ohohmynow absolutely - i m a musician too and it's just amazing what they're doing!

[Pfenixfire08]

@ohohmynow The Dear Hunter is amazing, but Between the Buried and Me may rival them for live execution. It is nearly impossible to differentiate the live version of their album Colors from the studio version. Just incredible. Regardless, so happy that proshot videos of their shows exist.

[hnbsniper]

@ohohmynow coheed and cambria-close second.

[cubecubed]

@hnbsniper I put Coheed slightly ahead,because they are all practically virtuosos on their instruments,particularly Chris Pennie and Claudio sanchez,and i prefer Claudio's lyrics. The Dear Hunter are far more consistent live,but Coheed can reach far greater heights. A really good Coheed show is a fucking religious expierience.A lot of this has to do with the crowd energy,which coheed obviously has in spades. All in all,two ridiculously awesome bands.

[sonofbeast87]

@cubecubed -dude you are so right! saw em a couple months ago, was the greatest thing i've ever seen

[cake43217]

lol this songs about a hooker

[judicaboodi94]

this song is told by the main characters father, telling about his experience with Ms. Terri. Or so we think :)

[westhamsandwich]

@judicaboodi94, i think casey explained that on thelakeandtheriver a while ago. that explanation is pretty much spot on. i could be misremembering though.

[luvaddictXO]

INCREDIBLE LIVE PERFORMANCE. Easily an addicting band. I love them.

[MikeoWar]

So insanely awesome.

[tapirdrummer]

Wow...this guy is pitch-perfect on stage, unlike most singers.

[MattSturg]

you should watch the live acoustic video of him doing red hands at the glass house.

so spot on its ridiculous. even with those really high notes.

[MikeoWar]

So true, it's like bliss t my ears just listening to him XD He's such an amazing singer and songwriter.

[tapirdrummer]

Turns out that the last chorus was added-over....but my comment stands.

[hcvideoproductions]

@tapirdrummer Him and Matthew Bellamy (from muse) are the two best live singers in my opinion. They have both come to be my favorite bands too. The musical composition in both bands are different, but very nice.

[zilch1823]

@tapirdrummer He's actually flat... But it's okay, you're a drummer.

[JordanFehr]

the last chorus of the song is sung so perfectly i can't tell if they fudged in albums vox. or not, but it is fucking amazing nonetheless

[jonmart]

as much as casey has one of the best live vocals ive ever heard.. that was definitely added over

[Dioptrickz]

watch the drummer in the the last chorus ;-)

[Nemmet]

the final "what was your name" destroys

[watchforpiranha]

any chance of finding a copy of this whole show somewhere? the quality is insanely better than all the youtube live perfomances (since most of those are proabably taken from cell phones and stuff).. thanks.

[invisigal2002]

Great live video! Awesome!

[Davi2810]

i dont get why they dubbed the audio track from 2:48 onward from their original track on there album on this clip?

but even yet

BEST BAND IVE HEARD

[aer0dynamic]

I read that they had lost the sound on the video at that point or something like that.

[nicksollecito]

wow, i didnt' even notice. pretty seamless integration.

[PFNarek]

2:06

That "I" is just perfect. So awesome!

[fghtoffyrdemons]

You can see my friend and i in this video. were stage front on the right. just look for the bandanas ( 0:13 )

also this show was soo sic. mewithoutyou was glorious

[EvilMapleSyrup]

You guys are amazing live!

[kimmytsoaf]

wow, chills.

[metal1985]

I was at this show, and this video, while AWESOME, doesn't even come close to capturing how mindblowing these guys are live. I drove 9 hours for that show and it was completely worth it. I'll br driving another 6 to see them in Buffalo with Coheed, and I know it won't be in vain.

[coheed09cambria]

excellent

[procrastination777]

yes

[WeAreDormin777]

Amazing.

[Beatles136]

HELL YA!!! Can't wait to see you guys again in October!! I'm counting the days

[BestNameEvar]

whoahwhoahwhoah, PROSHOT DEAR HUNTER?!

FUCK yes!

[nicksollecito]

amazing how tight this is.

[Guitarawr]

When you closed with this at Mr. Small's, I was in awe. You guys are phenomenal.

[plansxxx]

This is so amazing live.

[Billahh92]

are you human? you can't be. you're too fucking good.

[s3dation]

21 days until I see you guys again.

It's insane to believe you guys have actually gotten BETTER live since the last time I saw you. I didn't think it was actually possible.

[AidenApocalypse]

You guys really need to release a live DVD. ASAP.

[FireandSolace]

Very good. Very very good. Excellent. I'm in.

[Davidwood15]

You guys actually have to come to the UK soon or I may have to kill myself

[AntimateriaBr]

wow i cant believe this is live. its flawless. when will you please us with a world tour?

[801NvizioN]

Siiiiiiick.

[julixhudson]

AWESOME!

[dakota182]

need more great live footage like this!

[Gamester2091]

very epic.

[daza182]

this is awesome

[RyanAndRyanPros]
