great romances of the 20th century live

[DecadesOfInfluence]

dude. stop singing.

[sduquette84]

i was at this show. this at The Palladium in Worcester MA. this was the tamest song that show. the rest of the night i dont think Adam even had the mic. so many people on stage. This show was sold out. the time before they played in worcester they played in the upstairs room which is a lot smaller, so we didnt get tickets in advance. then we showed up to find it sold out! walked up and down the line looking for tickets and we all got in. what a great freaking night like 9 years ago lol

[riseagainstbestpunk]

I come to this video once a week just to favorite it so that I make sure that I never forget about it.

[azzkik1032]

well you're gonna have your chance.. JOHN NOLAN AND SHAUN COOPER ARE BACK IN THE BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Michaelridesabike]

I didnt believe you at first so I checked the website. Youre fucking right. I want to pee myself right now. Good god.

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

@Michaelridesabike dont need to dude, john nolan and shaun cooper are back

[CHAMUCO7o2]

So many beautiful memories with this song..

[gabrielthemarine]

my band, gabriel the marine, toured with john nolan in early january and on the last date of tour we closed with this song with nolan singing all the parts

[somecleverword]

lol ... I don't want to believe you. I love you guys, but in all honestly, how did you no tape it? grrrr....

[gabrielthemarine]

@somecleverword hahah we did tape it, we only have the first minute before the battery dies. we'll upload it though

[WeAllWumbo]

That's amazing. This is my favorite taking back sunday song, I love John Nolan and your band is awesome. I saw you guys live at some random show in Valley Stream with Of the Pillar back when you had the other bassist.

[Michaelridesabike]

@gabrielthemarine

I envy you so much.

[zerokewl951]

fucking awesome line up

[WeAllWumbo]

LMAO John is completely just whaling into the mic!

[ehscalia33]

when and where was this?

[lovelikewinter7634]

Palladium in Worcester Ma Fall 2002.

[BGilly80]

one of my favorite old band not the new shit but i hate when he doesn't sing and makes the crowd sing expecially in this song because his voice is crazy in this song

[IdPorkKevinJonas]

look at the dumbass in red at 2:35

[number8uk]

Hahahaha

[pageseventyfive]

This is a good song but it's pretty sloppy on here. And it's not sloppy for the sake of movement or the performance like At The Drive-In or something. It's just laziness. Kinda disappointing.

[number8uk]

i agree! John nolan is trying to hold it together but adam can't be fucked!

At the drive in are/were awsome

[pageseventyfive]

Totally. I would get so fed up with that. You can tell it got to a point where nothing was taken seriously. Which sucks.

[TrickStarrJ22]

it wasn't sloopy at all, you just can't hear adam's speaker where the mic is coming out of unfortunately, plus apparently you don't understand show's like these.

[pageseventyfive]

No, he is clearly not singing his parts. It's not cutting out or anything. And fuck you, I'm sure i understand more about music than you. What the fuck is there to not get?

[TrickStarrJ22]

well let's start off with what kind of music you listen to?

[abstractmilk2]

Best TBS Song of all time

[xxilovebrokenxx]

everytime i watch this it gives me goosebumps.

[fannypackCrusader11]

oh my gosh that beginning. i can't get enough of it

[guitarmetal1234]

signature right there at 1:28-1:30

[Squashy6874]

i heart john nolan

[jabrinks]

jesus christ fucken mess

[Rikernl]

This is the best song of all time. I miss old TBS :(

[bananabrain2]

that song is a masterpiece

[firstclassblueboy]

well, that was nice. too bad history cant repeat itself anymore...

is there any band out that is this good right now?

i mean seriously... they dont even have to sing or play the friggen song and its perfect

[Squashy6874]

i love john nolan!

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

This is how all gigs should be like

[Emojola]

Are there anyone who has other clips from this show please upload them NOW!

[awesomemagician]

didnt adam sleep with john's gf or something? lol

[ava818]

supposedly adam had a thing with john's sister (the girl who sings in bike scene) and thats why john left. no one knows if thats really why though

[awesomemagician]

oh. that's kinda a stupid reason in my opinion. : /

thanks tho

[ava818]

yeah. i dunno though. that woulda pissed me off. Its not like they were dating or anything, they just had sex a few times and adam screwed her over.

If i were john and my best friend did that that would piss me off

[awesomemagician]

ah, i took it as they were dating.

but yeah, john's in the right no questions asked.

[Michaelridesabike]

John nolan slept with jesse laceys(sp) girlfriend and jesse left the band and they brought in Adam. No I in team is johns apology to jesse basically and seventy times seven by brand new is jesse's take on the story. let me know If I messes something up there

[Pushmonk]

I miss Taking Back Sunday as an indie band

[iheardyouleft]

john nolan made this band!

[dynastysuperfan]

@iheardyouleft I think it was deff the singing combo of Adam and John that made TBS bamf, hopefully they'll regain their glory again

[fitnesmadesimpl]

what a fucking show...i wish Nolan never left.

[plus44fanatics]

this is so great!! haha one of the days adam's gonna shove his hand into a lucky crowd and his hand isnt gonna make it out! oh no that wont happen, you want to know why, BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE THIS ENERGY ANYMORE!!

[RUNNiNGWiTHSCiZORS]

drunk.

[askurat]

They were so much better with John and Shaun ;(

[smithfy92]

the best live show i seen,connected with the audience really well...

[kenny1324]

This video made me cry. No joke. So amazing...

[tbsxblink]

blink doesnt suck live! neither does tbs! best tbs ever right here miss these days

[aznbballstar155]

Miss you, John.

[TravisBarker13]

[Gdismyband]

[tytygood]

thats not even possible.

[phantomhunter5000]

THe lyrics in this song are fucking awesome.

[Gdismyband]

yeah, i love them, i love tbs's lyrics <3

[FOLLOWTHEFORMAT721]

i want this song tattoed on me. it's so fucking amazing it gives me goosebumps every time.

[leopoldospeer]

Nolan beats Fred anyday.

[tytygood]

hell yeah

[Viciouster]

I love the lyrics of the song... They write in a excelent way

[xhelloimindelawarex]

adam is fuckin drrruuunkkk

[octsimon]

ha, it takes adam 55 seconds to start singing. Love it.

This is easily one of their best songs.

[beeteedoubleyouu]

i agree with plus44fanatics:)

i love tbs so muuuch.

<33

[plus44fanatics]

tbs will always rock. i dont give a shit what anyone says about them. with or without fred or john. rock for life tbs!!!!

[tbsgrl99]

adam is <3

[SpanishTickler]

Nolan was my hero.

[CK08]

If only...

:[

TAYF forever.

[plus44fanatics]

john nolan sounds like a complete retard the first few lyrics he sings

[xelevatormusicx]

AMG. That looked amazing. Rock history, indeed. ;]

And I don't even give a shit that Adam was barely singing. >>

[Rraxer112]

Awesome. Period. No, I mean exclamation mark!

[Pushmonk]

I liked TBS better when they were indie

[xShesSoRecklessx]

poor adam. he looked worn out. but he kept on rocking. damn i love that man!

[mremonerd]

back to when taking back sunday was good and nolan was still in the band

[starsfall]

and of course, shaun.

[robbie564]

idc if they did bad and adam barely sang at all

look how much fun everyones having

haha

there so awesome!!!!!!!

[ultragabe]

adam sang like 3 notes. hahaha.

[tytygood]

is he weafring socks lmao

[CK08]

Omg. I so wish I'd been able to go to tbs' shows like THESE!! So insane. So intense. I love it. Too bad their performances aren't like this anymore... :(

Oh well, still my fav band ever. :D

[innocentpedestrian]

does anyone know what kind of guitar john's playing?

[tytygood]

nope. but its pretty damn sexy. my guess would be that its made by gibson or epitaph though...

[IdiotValintine]

epiphone retard

[tytygood]

sorry that i put the wrong word by accident at three in the morning.

[staplesrj86]

This is SkateFest 2002 at The Palladium in Worcester, MA. I don't know if any other videos of this show exist, but those guys were mental back then. I miss it.

[trippriley]

fuck.dammit.

ineedatimemachine.

adam has never sang in the shows but at least back then it was because he was going shit crazy on stage. he just loved the music too much and got too into it to sing.that was intense.that was amazing.

now he doesnt sing just because he seems to not love it like he used to. i know he cant be 20 forever, but at least start singing now. ive seen them a few times since John and Shaun quit and it doesnt have half the energy i get from just watching VIDEOS of this

[tytygood]

he sings every note now. what the fuck are you talking about.

[skut316]

where is this from?  what city? anymore clips from this show?

[telephonehands]

Oh my God I can't believe this is up. This is classic.

[LuisFranko]

I'd really like to see Adam singing not screaming or wathever he is doing.. looks like he is just doing acobatic movements with the mic.. not singin.. i'd njoy this song if they could sing it like 180bySUmmer at The LIST, it'sso freaking cool! bye the way TBS xD

[reesespuffs071894]

shaun's short is adam's mic off?

[audioromanceband]

Adam is bi-polar, crazy/quiet sometimes.

[xxgatxx]

OK, what's with the flying dude on 2:35? or is he swimming?

And once again Adam proved his gayness in keeping his arms like the little fag he is such as in 2:05, and so on.

[rrj4]

yeh Cantslowdown. the last time i saw them was with saves the day a couple of years ago, after Nolan left, its been all down hill....Breaking Pangea was a shitty band with the dude who replaced Nolan

[cantslowdown]

i saw them live when they opened up for Saves the Day a couple years ago. I haven't been that much of a fan after that.

[eblumm]

omg at 2:34 LOOK AT THE GUY IN THE RED SHIRT, H I L A R I O U S .

[Steoandnoodles]

looks like he is trying to fly, really funny

[eblumm]

omg at 1:19 is adam beating someone up?

[cantslowdown]

are you blind? he hugged him and then pushed him away.

[ftrbreed]

That's my cousin

[regan2218]

on the contrary i find their shows still interact with the crowd. Adam spit on me and then laughed, did this little eye to eye thingy and then said sorry so being spit on does interact with the crowd. lol

and adma is completley wasted in this thing. its hilarious

[dropper166]

whoa! they were all high on drugs :D

[chocovoxy]

where is adams shoes??? lol

[TheMikey3000]

Greatest. Band.  Alive.

[rhodrii]

even though sound wise their performances are flawless pretty much now.. you can see they don't have almost half as much passion as they did then :(

[abec65]

louder now is such bull shit.

[connorjames714]

this is back when tbs was good adams so gay on stage now he hold his mic like a cock with two finger and theres no crowd involement only litte girls staring on in awe.

[abec65]

I know dude what the hell is that.

Its like warner bros brain washed him.

although they did lose alot when john left, the fall of tbs is when they left victory records.

TBS is comming to a venue in my town but im debating if i should even go or not just because of louder now and the way theyre live now.

[rawritsrosieex]

I've seen them live not too long ago.

They're not too too terible live now a days.

& I couldn't agree more when it comes to TBS leaving Victory records.

[irishyank89]

your totally right dude

[rick182r]

ive been a fan of tbs since they began but victory screw them over bad idk if u kno this but victory is a bad label that screws small bands overTbs even said they never received any money from thir ernings because victory would use all their money on ads for toher bands& they would tell the bands that they owed them money in addition a band needs to change and progress over time & try new things or else their not good musicians and people would be saying that all their stuff sounds the same

[abec65]

yeah i guess i got over myself and the whole louder now thing, but i just really miss theyre old vibes.

but yeah im glad for their progression,

but the change in adams stage presence is just a little too much for me.

[usedwater]

please post a link of source to your claims on victory record screwing over tbs otherwise most people(if not all) won't believe you.

and imo, after tbs left victory record there was no progression but instead, soon after following john's departure, did they completely go the opposite direction and failed.

tayf > wywtb+ln

[rick182r]

contAfter selling more than 1.2million copiesof SilenceIn..&IOYWL,we have never seen a single dollar in artist royalties from Victory Records.Tony will claim that we have not"recouped"a term used by those in the music business which means the label has spent more money in advertising than has been madeby CD salesIn fact questionable accounting practices are the culprit & we are in fact owed substantial amounts of money much like audits from Taking Back Sunday, Thursday& Atreyu have uncovered

[rick182r]

is it hard for people to realize that the label does not make the music but the band

more importantly they havent changed or sold out

im actually going to go see a free show by them on Sunday at the metro a relatively small venue

as far as the victory thing i believe i have provided enough evidence....

sry for the lenght

[lessissmoore]

Adam is awesome.

I miss the old lineup so badly.

[thisismylastsong]

GOd I LOVE TAKING BACK SUNDAY..I WISHEd I COUlD SEE THEM LIVE AGAIN!..*

THEY ARE FCKING INCREDIBLE!

[xxf1nchxx]

uh.. is it just me or back before the new tbs cd.. adam wasnt very good at singing so he would always point the mic to the crowd so they sing for him.

[Vir17]

I agree, he was a little horrible at singing...but know he does it very well, so that's right =)

[danieljackson]

haha i love the random dude hxc dancing in the midddle of the stage

[simpatico777]

nhnnmmm

[joemonmonmon]

fucking incredible.

if icould see one more show with TBS and BrandNew on the bill. with john on the guitar. and all the new TBS material written off...

i'd never have to see another concert again.

christ.

[Pushmonk]

Where Is that?

[fts666]

GREAT!

[mcxcrun]

i love the general insanity of tbs' old concerts

[curly430]

ahhhhhhhh good old TBS!!!

[smithtay004]

Im suprised theres no security

[xLunnax]

Is this show the one from those pictures where Jesse Lacey (brand new) and Adam are on the floor? Do you know from what song it is?

BTW, TBS is amazing! *-*

[dolour]

indeed.

[xincubux7o]

adam is so crazy! I love TBS. they're fucking serious
