One preson in two bodies,

[26mistakes]

[Pitbulinaskirt]

@skudish97- I couldn't agree more.. Doesn't matter how many times I watch it..love it.. I could watch Brians solo all frikken day...

[jasammravojed]

Amanda at her creepiest <3

[skudisch970986302876]

This video is insanely incredible. oh my fucking god. no matter how many times I watch it, I never get used to it. Amanda and Brian are so in sync.

[marduk111]

@skudisch970986302876 indeed

[Sharktopus77]

Dresden Dolls & Emilie Autumn should do a duet. Just sayin'.

[newspapervillage]

Brian's such a nutcase <3

Soooo Good :)

[pollypearl]

Yes. Just Yes.

[siamesehummer]

His kit sounds great! I never knew the Dolls had such a drummer!

[rodmondh]

This song is dedicated to the coolest,sweetest,awesome, girl alive: Rachel Kanaan!...... RODMOND HOLLINS.......XOXOXO ALWAYS!

[AndreaSaari]

One of my favorite songs of all time by anybody, and this performance just kills me. Beautiful!

[AndreaSaari]

One of my favorite songs of all time by anybody, and this performance just kills me. Beautiful!

[cageehv]

Best Doll's song so far!!!

[dornXklondykeXbar]

I felt the emotion, as though it was mine..

And for ten minutes and twenty three seconds... It was..

Brava!

[PoHakk]

chilling me since 2005! fucking amazing

[Garouix]

I love it when you can just hear a song and feel the power behind it, without even listening to the lyrics. That, to me, is a real artist. You can just watch these two play and KNOW they love what they're doing. They're truly passionate about it. It's a shame we don't see that more often.

[somethingtangy]

I bet Brian Vigilone is amazing in bed. Hell, I bet they both are..

[flux3doll]

This song is truly amazing, but when you play it live.....it's magic

[sabieDxMx]

uhm this is amazing 0_0 hahaha

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[haydnroar]

Criminally underrated band

[Laneh]

I see five people here suffer from limited cognitive function..

[ToninoAngusti]

wow o.o'

Like the first fuck!

[shezzy05]

Epic Video. Love it. Amanda Palmers voice is awesome... and the drummer is just brilliant...

[EcstasyOfApostasy]

@shezzy05

That drummer is Brian Viglione! You better recognize! :P

[SteKoWho]

Half Jack is the most creative piece of music I heard in the last 20ten jears, though it can not be compared with these older ones; the Dresden Dolls perform at a level, where any differences are just standing vor the indiviual quality, - but : Who the fuck gets all those awards, the Dolls should have won for their extra- class....?!

[mastiloko]

my favorite!!

[Nightie]

Best version EVER!

Happy 10th Anniversary Tour!!

[SOFIAAAA]

Sooo amazing!

[Elentari1975]

Brian Viglione looks incredibly powerful (and hot) in this performance.

[ArcaneBoi]

The Dresden Dolls have changed my life.

[ifixcopiers]

WOW..... This is an amazing powerful performance

[cageehv]

brian rocks!!!

[ctchrisf]

would kill for a serious audio recording of this. missing that impact

[shadydakota]

Better than bad sex

[usernamenumber]

I want to have Brian V's little drummer babies. That is all.

[MomentaryLapse86]

This version has got the most epic intro.

[cageehv]

AWESOME! My fav Dolls song!

[itwasbloodonthedance]

Just Awesome.

=D

[Echoxxx]

incredible bond between them while they play <3

[s1ghm3m]

Oh my gosh that was amazing!!

[Gluehapfel]

expressiv.. You really start to imagine what she feels like as you hear it

[Svitlo37]

fuckin love this girl. Clownface can ravage those drums though, dudes punishing those fuckers.

Good music.

[LuvMadonna626]

i saw them live in 2005 on halloween, it was fucking magnificent!!

[propertyofranger]

Obsessed with this song now.

[LouTheGrotesque]

Damn, I love the intensity in both of their faces, you can practically eat the emotion.

[Max11551]

there used to be a Good Day live version that was amazing. i miss it.

[juro45]

8:44 - 8:50 best part!!

this is amazing song!!!

[headintheclouds23]

i've seen this band twice, 2006 and 2008. two of the best nights of my life. :)

brian is amazing.

[pissclam]

and two of the worst nights of mine

[GoldenGaleStables]

I just realized that in this performance, Amanda in the final verse sings "half-hoping I can go now" rather than "half-hoping for a showdown," which is the originally recorded lyric.

[FreddoXD]

This is orgasmic.

[florinip]

@FreddoXD I'd say it's EARGASMIC!

[GoldenGaleStables]

Two of the most talented people you'll ever see or hear.

[pissclam]

stop it

[StrangerMusic]

I've seen over 100 acts this year so far but Amanda Palmer at Coachella is still my #1 of 2009.

[LFZ15]

Brian was mesmerizing

[brittanybellaify]

this song.....makes me sad...but is one of the most intense pieces of music i've ever encountered...and the reason it makes me sad..is because i understand it....all TOO well....I LOVE THEM

[11111lololol11111]

it's like he's sex0ring the drums...

[Needlefeet17]

He looks slightly like that guy from The Adicts.

Fuck I love him.

[TheTomatenfisch]

thats what i call a fullblood drummer!passion 100%

[JoshKoen]

Fuck this is INTENSE. Fantastic

[savingsgalore]

one of the greatest pieces of recorded music of all time

[trippingovershadows]

I love their performances, they are so into it and give it their all at every single show. They always seem to keep their shows fresh and give the audience an evening to remember.

[chickencookie49]

Jesus, Brian is a BEAST on those drums. *stares*

[Yancy01]

One word.

Passion...

[l2ose12]

you can tell amanda palmer doesn't give a shit what people think about her...which is fucking awesome.

[DreamerM]

Brian's "Half Jack" Solos are always a highlight of any show. Always.

[InnaLee]

Goose bumps every time I hear this song!

[jennynettles]

... And one day I'll do a cover on the harp :-)

[RAre61636]

... that sounds like a GENIUS IDEA. I would very much like to hear that, yes. IT BETTER BE GOOD, THOUGH!!!

[jennynettles]

This song means so much to me. Thanks so much for writing music that hits my heart, my body, my brain, every muscle ... it gets into me, takes over .... You express what I feel. I feel what you express.... Awesome.

[melissaXmacaroni]

I keep hearing people say she discusses the meaning and it DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH ...

What IS the meaning, may I ask? :)

[maksphoto78]

@melissaXmacaroni This song is about her father. His name is Jack.

[melissaXmacaroni]

That was... quite the intro.

Dresden Dolls are so amazing =D

[Br0kenEnGliSh]

I love this opening!

[Garbanian]

You are so right, don't let the assholes get to you.

[Newman12341]

fag?

[underpuka]

WOOOOAAA!!!

FUCKING AMAZING!!!

[Wrackfuck]

Now I know why it's called the paradise.

[Stencilistic]

goodness. that is freaking amazing

[smellslikechildren1]

Lol, it wouldn't surprise me, but no.

[JLynneh]

I loved that drum intro.

[slounderous]

Agreed it was brilliant

[Leederi]

she looks really muscly from behind

[LonesomePageTurner]

This performance is so beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes.

[jehnuh]

Probably the best drumming in all eternity.

[dasgregorian]

I like DD... definitely ONE of my favorites... but I wouldn't go for "best in all eternity."

[Collaborator]

maybe not technically.. but just the pure emotion that is put in it.. just wow.

[larryoduncan]

I am a lover of music of a vast variety. Someone close to me introduced me the these guys a few years back and i was really blown away with them. Amanda's voice, both in style and emotional essence, and her playing ability and songwriting are virtually

unparalleled in the music world today. BUT i MUST give some props to Brian. That man can bang the drums. I think Bonham probably was tempted to sit up in his grave to give this one a listen. I am VERY impressed. This Band ROCKS my face off!

[heykids93]

OMGOSH BRIAAAAN

[lixechan]

5 minutes of introduction! fuck yes, i love this band!! You guys are completly, mindblowingly awesome XD

xxx

[AllyKiss18]

As a Transsexual, I totally see this song in my own interpretation, See Jack Run Jack

[Cockleduster]

Brian is so hot.....escpiecly with his shirt off *fangirl*

[namelsess93]

This songs reminds me so much of me..

[xoxTNTxox16]

You both are beautiful beautiful people. So captivating and moving! I love you.

[xovictoriasmithox]

This is honestly the first Real Music I have heard in a long time. You two are amazing human beings. You don't live to please others,you dont live to be famous,you live to create beautiful music and that is what makes you musicians, You two will sure make a part of history.

[ZeroPointLibra]

@xovictoriasmithox ahh they broke up... but both are working on new projects.

[ProfessorEggflesh]

@xovictoriasmithox - Could not have said it better.

[MrZebra69]

I'm sure all the musicians here will know what I mean...when you find someone that you can play with like that, with that level of compatability...best feeling in the world. Man.

[kalemarefrite]

yeah man i know what you're saying, it only happens once in so much time but when it happens there's this kind of magic you can't describe

[melissaXmacaroni]

Aren't the dolls broken up now :'( ?

[luqas99]

Brilliant! How are these two not better known?! They're going to be legends sometime...

[TheDreadPirateScotty]

except...they just pretty much split. tragically.

[TheKimmeth]

Well, they didn't completely split up. They're just on a hiatus.

So hopefully, they come back together pretty soon! *crosses fingers*

[melissaXmacaroni]

*crosses fingers*

[flappie956]

to mychemfreak246: go to the DD website and order the dresden dolls companion book. it has the music for many songs and additional information and its nice to have as well. Enjoy.

[josh34568]

That is a very powerful performance! I love it!!!

[mychemfreak246]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I COULD FIND THE MUSIC SHEETS TO THE BEGINNING PART OF THE SONG? (piano of course). or does anyone happen to knnow how to play it, in which case PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL!!! :(

[Hollowroy]

The beginning is all improvised. There is no sheet music for it. You have to improv. on your own. Or learn it by ear. I just do my own improv. when I play this song.

[nessa206]

brian is an amazing drummer.

[floggingmaria]

Shit, this is amazing.

[dzdzownicaewa]

it's all brilliant. and i love her voice in this song, especially in this version <3

[RainaAtma]

Amanda and Brian definately have amazing chmistry. Brian makes playing drums look sooo easy. He is an amaaazing drummer!

[crazypunk27]

[fallheartkiller]

[KatieElmsley]

[google165]

Amanda's hairy pits are very sexy!!

[smellslikechildren1]

You're on of those, are you?

[google165]

Yes I think it is very sexy and natural

[smellslikechildren1]

[sofarat]

[Hollowroy]

I would love to go to one of their concerts but alas, my parents won't let me.

[waterlillie04]

[sirilidbeck]

Could listen to this all night long.

[MyChildishRomance13]

Awesome improvisation.

Amanda sounds a little hoarse!

[ruddegore]

cos shes had no vocal training and screams her lungs out at every show!

[Akirose001]

Not To bust your bubble but there not improving i mean still amaazing but i watched this video from more then one place and it played the same

[smellslikechildren1]

You must be dumb. It's completely different than all the other ones.

[heavell99]

I love the expressions Brian makes when he plays. XDD

[Quidam]

Wow, she is crying! Poor Amanda. I heard that her parents were getting divorced and I know that this song was written for her father. That must have been hard for her

[Quidam]

This is my faveorite song by the Dresden Dolls. Well, one of them. When I first saw them in concert, I was so shocked when Brain said something! I used to think he was mute. ^.^

[loveoverboard1]

I was kissed by Amanda in Lismore last nite, wow, she wrote on my teeshirt "lesbian Lismore, I saw, I had, I loved xx Amanda Palmer

check out loveoverboard1, to see the performance, with "TheFollows"

[BrightGreenLight]

[WickedQueen314]

[blasphemoustool]

LOVE this video.

[MYLIFE125]

they are love

[mandyesque]

Maybe I'm living too much in the present, but when someone says "amazing drummer" I always think of Brian Viglione.

Of course, the fact that he's beautiful doesn't hurt... but this clip in particular demonstrates his passion for his instrument. Ah! To say that about a drummer is such a wonderful thing!!!

I *am* looking forward to Amanda's solo album, but I think I'd feel lost if the Dolls ever split up permanently. Just look at that chemistry! I have Musician's Envy. ^_^

[SheepCounters]

sweet!

[DarkPhoenixIncarnate]

Holy shit I love this band!! XD God, whenever I see Amanda I feel like I'm looking at my future self. XD

[Darkphantom001]

lucky! Amanda is awesome

[LVB1770]

The greatest band in the whole fucking world!

I love you you guys!

[karmicbitchslap]

you guys have such amazing chemistry.

[melody77]

Truly Amazing.

[JabbaWokina]
