Hard to find Jack's Mannequin - Dark Blue in studio

[ThePineapplepopsicle]

It really makes me sad when I hear him sing this song now, because I can really hear how much his voice changed.

[dromulio]

i wish i knew andrew in real life so i could go up to him and beg him to put this on itunes so i can buy this version its way better then his other version no offense but hes really really good live like this

[bmuehlich]

Looks like the kid that played randy in home improvement found his other calling playing guitar for Jack's mannequin.

[liamisthelawdog]

This was the first Jack's Mannequin video i ever watched, that was a very long time ago though

[backstreetgirl00]

this song makes me so happy!

[Akaochan]

Oooooooh i LOVE this version!

[wildhockeyfan34]

Not gonna lie, i kinda prefer this version over the album...

[TheatreGeek333]

The Only Thing I Don't Like About This Version Is 2:02!!

He Kept It Tame Here, He Usually Puts So Much Into That

"Suggesting It's Best That I.." But The Wink Killed Me(:<333

This Song Just Makes Me..Happy.

And The Harmonies<33 Ahhh.

In My Happy Place Right Now.(:

[fraymemories]

1:56

love that expression

[haidan32]

holygod HE WINKS AT 1:55! I died for a while

[Exit81AVids]

there's autotune on his voice. bands do it often for live sessions. ive studied andrew macmahon's music since the beginning, and i can tell a difference.

[biga2dal13K]

rehearsals. has it

[jamnj9]

this is really an awesome song, but i seriously wish people would realize that this is not their ONLY song. people are always like "i love jack's mannequin. dark blue is my favoriteeee". it's so frustrating.

[0xMusicManiacx0]

@jamnj9 I hit the thumbs up button like, fourteen times when I read this.

[SicInPrincipio]

@jamnj9

so true, I love all of JM's songs

still doesn't change the fact that this IS my favorite JM song though =]

[alexbot32]

@jamnj9 yeah wheres the love for last straw? or rescued! JM=awesome

[listLet]

I love how this version sounds, it's amazing how Andrew is able to get to play his music any way and still amaze the ears

[brieanaaaa]

It's weird how he can be still on studio performances like this, but in concert he goes crazy!

[iknowrealmusic101]

my favorite song ever :) love this band!

[dpianonvocals]

thanks for uploading



[rageloveszephyr]

God I love that smile and wink at 1:55. LOVE.

[weblueandme]

love this version:DDD

[sportsman214]

is it me or is he playing this whole song one key down...?

[shoallasoala]

@sportsman214 yea im pretty sure its been transposed a semi-tone down from where its played on the album

[Strbrz]

this is exactly what i was looking for <3 thank you thank you thank you!

[MajorTwilightFan15]

There isn't a day that goes by when I'm not loving this man. <3

[jziskid]

Great performance though i think his voice may have been manipulated. At certain parts especially the bridge is sounds a little auto-tuned

[Friends69390]

thank you for this version, I really like the piano and the voice is interesting

[asianinvasion666]

You are my hero! thanks so much for uploading this rare footage

[lan20don]

I played this version and the EIT version together. It sounds good; except the pianos clash horribly.

[TempestuousDayDream]

This version really gives me the chiils :)

[twilouca]

i LOVE this song! LOVE iT! Thanks for post this. Did you believe that Jack´s Mannequin aren´t so much knowing here (Brasil)? I love this guys! My favorite band!

[gerbilgirl311]

this version is amazing.

i love this songggg so much, gives me shivers.

[vampirefanatic139]

i love 1:54 when Andrew looks up and smiles

[isitafairytale7]

i have to say ive never liked anyone like live but when i saw this, its so amazing and his voice is super amazing, i love it!

[theliterarycrowd]

@isitafairytale7 how have you never liked anyone, until now, live? what kind of overprocessed music do you listen to?

let andrew open up a world of musical talent to you. please!

[isitafairytale7]

@theliterarycrowd ohi will ;) lol

actually i listen to alot of everything, jack's is definately on my favorites list. lol

[vickyk00l]

like this sounds like a freaking trip... like he's laying on the ground looking at the sky and yeah hes gone

[xAxMAEx]

So good! This song is so catchy & cute

[BreanneandLeah2009]

This shows so much raw talent which a lot of todays bands dont have. Andrew Mcmahon is a legend.

[masterpascaler]

True :) Me personally preffer this version than album version. Here instruments are more loud (specially drums) :)

[BreanneandLeah2009]

@masterpascaler how did you get your hands on this?!

[masterpascaler]

trully saying i can't remember,i had it once from somewhere,then i didn't see it looong time, and after several years i found it in some old, deep folder on my hard drive :) So i uploaded on YT :)

[Aarons2c]

@masterpascaler

thanks for that :)

[Hanke527]

i will never be sick of this song. ever.

[js90100]

this is epic in every way possible. thanks for posting. Legend.

[musiclover848]

I love Andrew's voice when It's raw like this, he sounds so much better live and acoustic than he does on itunes :)

[graemecow01]

Thanks for posting this. I love seeing good bands play live or studio live.

[StarlitJourney]

I actually think they drop it a half step so it's easier on the piano. Like, there's a little contortion involved playing it in Eb, but in D, it's so simple. Idk if that's the real reason, but it might be.

[dizzykiwi3]

Yah, they do that for this song on a bunch of live shows i noticed. I think it also keeps the song fresh personally, makes it a lil special, and a bit more mellow

[jaykay0o0]

Yeah, it's also easier to sing. But Andrew (and Bobby) both have excellent ranges anyway

[8rassm0nkey]

Blink 182- Adams song.

[dropdeadnormajean]

Goodbye (I'm Sorry) by And Then I Turned Seven .

[fjdude21]

inside the fire by disturbed

[TeamGumGum]

Buildings by Regina Spektor is a pretty good one! I think it fits both of those categories. Good luck!

[TeamGumGum]

Oh, uhh... I hope it's not too late though!

[qawserftgyuh]

Third Eye Blind-Jumper

Everyones got to face down the demons

Maybe today

You could put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies that youve been living in

And if you do not want to see me again I would understand

[nica4life0]

cool i like this song hehe

[musiclover848]

Wow this is great! Thank you!

[xcutetannyx]

Never too late-three days grace...

[LuckyLlamas12]

I think I've been waiting all my life to find this video...

[baileyhoward]

this is amazingg :]

[layarph]

Definitely the best live performance i've seen of this song!

[tammyXpirate]

haha hes so cute at 1:54 ish. ♥

[beggingdog95]

I think I like this version better :)

[KonradvonKrakow]

This band would be nothing without Andrew. As for the guitars, everyone loves guitars more anyway.

[pzhang87]

uh, generally speaking - yes, because it's Andrew that started the entire thing as a personal side-project, and it's Andrew who wrote the songs and asked his friends to help him out with it

[JoelRandyGB]

is there any way to download this to mp3?

[Amarant02]

If you have real player you can download the video and then using total video converter you can turn it into an mp3 file. That's what I did.

[JoelRandyGB]

downloaded it ; )

[PokeTrainerVu]

I download using DownloadHelper on firefox and then use AoA Audio Extractor to get the audio.

[topemendrez]

awesome :)

[summer4ever616]

i dont get this son...like what is it about?

[remon5]

thx for posting it !!

[cutie9253]

Oh god,

at 1:55 he kind of winks.

i just die

[RawrImRebecca]

I second that haha :D

[HarmonyMady]

When he smiles, I have no idea what to do with myself.

[shockndsteel]

My Second Favorite Song By My #1 Favorite Band. ;)

[ManoloRC12]

it is my #1 favorite song by my second favorite band :P

[amandammo]

i love lvoe love love love love love this version,it would be even more amazing than it already is[which is hard to do] if he let this version out with the special intro<3

a m a z i n g.

[toddlerrrrr]

if i could transpose, i would, i've been in choir for about 4 years now, I used to be a tenor, but I'm a baritone/bass now, and most of the music i like and would sing to is written for tenors.

So, I'd love to transpose.

[nicoleisdomination]

This is AMAZING!

Gah. So talented. I love this song so much!

It always puts me in a good mood!

No matter what!

[toddlerrrrr]

i love 3:08 to 3:16

this version is awesome.

i like it a half step down :]

[Weeblah13]

3:08 has got to be the best ever.

:D

[danieldew]

both times i have seen it he has played it in d. i think it is something he does semi-regularly because like InanimateCrbnRod said, it's fuckin easy to sing this a half step down.

[navydeal123]

he may have been sick so they changed the key and made it a little lower to D so its easier to sing.

[InanimateCrbnRod]

does anyone else think this is in a different key than the original? I can't sing the original chorus softly, I have to belt it or use falsetto cause its too high, but I had no problem with this one, and It looks like he's pressing different keys too, I'm pretty sure this isnt the same key anyone else agree/disagree?

[Ntz0942]

wow. sounds good! love his voice on this one.

[winterify]

he looks like Steve-o

[Skelbley08]

Aww!!! I missed out on tickets for the Lawn concert!

[HarmonyMady]

I saw them yesterday (along with The Fray) and they were so good!

[sgallen759]

omg i saw them too. u mite have seen me i was parking cars there at the verizon wireless ampitheater rite????

[HarmonyMady]

We were at the Lawn at the White River State Park!

[SomethinCorp]

I'm Seeing them! I'm actually getting to see them at last in England :). YAY :)!!!!!!!!!

[wilgrad]

i love this band

but sadley this is autotuned

[LKott]

Yeah,

Guys, this performance is autotuned.

But it's alright.

He looks pretty sick here, and it's not like it's an actual show, this rehearsal is more for the instruments.

[aquiredude]

nice voice, thz for the vid dude

[madziun2]

beautiful... :)

[jriccioj]

not hard to find anymore

[TamaDrummer5309]

Just saw them with the Fray two nights ago.

Great performance :)

[MiseryLovesCompany87]

I wished I could go to the one around here, but it's the same day as my Grandpa's birthday party and my friend's grad party, so I can't go. XP Plus, my mom hates the Fray.

[dat511]

same here, it was more than two nights but they were an amazing opening act =]

[ShanimalB]

his voice is like an angels! <3 him. i just went to the concert a couple days ago. they were ah-mazing :)

[elaiho6]

Ahh thanks for this vid man!

\m/

[locolachica]

I love this song! they'e such a good band.

[DistantSerenity]

Haha, I love his smile at 1:55 =)

[oxcrosbyfanox]

awwe.

=)

[Xmaxi24X]

oh my lord..i am in love with this song...its so freaking good...

[berecca93]

"have you ever been alone in a crowded room?"

gosh, i thought i was the only person who had ever had that feeling :)

i just love his lyrics, not to mention his voice...

[aspiration3]

hes so young here

[vansoccer1]

their rly good live :P

[emilychristinee08]

I fucking love this mann! :D

[Petkanas]

This is my favorite song ever, and this is my girlfriend and i's song, and i love it so keep up the good work

[vamdud3]

omg he writes songs that can sing to my heart...as if his face wasnt able to make me love him anyways

blessings on him and his wife..even if i am a bit jelouse of her

[longhornsbabyy]

My second favorite song ever. It's truly amazing.

[morgankaulitz]

what's your very favorite song?

[LittleMissHigson]

i actually love him.

this is the only song i can put on repeat and never get annoyed.

[veronica21416]

i love him with a passion :)

[dancexolizzxo]

awesome this is like the best song ever!!!!

[Sulphrous]

uh...i love jm, but andrew's using autotune... idk why, but i hope he doesn't anymore.

[viewtifuljoe99]

autotune? in this vid?

[Sulphrous]

dude, yes. listen to about 1:03. just compare it to any other vid of him singing, it's very different, sounds robotic. definitely autotuned.

idk, maybe he was sick that day or something.

[viewtifuljoe99]

I kinda understand what you mean, but I think its probably more due to the poor quality of the recording in this video.

[LKott]

Yeah I'm thinking he was sick.

He is a great singer, but sometimes singers need it for the bad days.

Auto-tune isn't THAT bad, if you're putting it on a low setting like he has it on. I mean he makes great music, sings great without it, so it's all good.

[Panda1408]

but remember he is in the studio so they use a little auto tune anyway

[LKott]

Well yeah, but it's not like they're recording. It is still, a LIVE performance. Just like any another show, just without the energy.

[Marooth]

he's very in control of his voice. This was a good piece

[sourlemons96]

He can actually sing! Really good o_o

[JennVOGUE]

I saw him sing live in like 2004- or 5 when he was in Something Corporate. He's amazing.

[Antdude2090]

amazing...makes me think of the girl I love

[skinchen]

lol love this song :D

[ohheroine]

that boy can sing. no doubt.

[Jepson456]

This song is rather special

[soxrok09]
