[Rarpmoc]

[antaloliver]

Like if you love portal 2

[MrJusta9]

[bryanchan701]

To the 11 people who don't even know what Portal is.

[DwarfTorja]

GLaDOS didn't want 11 people to leave.

[geekofcod5]

11 people failed their science test

[lotrrocks0]

Aww crap, I could have been at that show! :(

[duckwithnukes]

Eleven people are no longer alive.

[duckwithnukes]

1:33: "We're just throwing music at the wall and seeing what sticks."

Brilliant...

[HoneyCrystal0]

11 people dont get puzzle games.

[HoneyCrystal0]

i love how the guy said "its science" at the beggining!

[scottie644]

WTH ...Why didn't I know about this... I live in Ottawa!! f7u12!!!

[01984lockyer]

0:53 "Spaaaaacceee" LOL haha briliant

[Hackii1432]

Jonathan Coulton you are an GOD!

[timerider4]

@Hackii1432

That would explain the overly bright stage lighting.

[MrGatonegroish]

Well here we are again

It's always such a pleasure

Remember when you tried

To kill me twice

[Nedac365]

Ten people suck at science......those monsters

[widebk8]

i like the portal two song better with the other technolegy stuff instead of guitar, but the part after instead i want you gone osunds very good

[rezaka116]

0:53 SPAAAAAAAACE !

[CanIFilmIt]

I love that. Where people can come together and sing about cake <3

[rroman1988]

is it wrong that i think its endearing that he got the lyrics to his own song wrong?

[flaboy2013]

@rroman1988 this is his first live performance and he doesnt sing it in the game so theres nothing wrong with that

[lazrpo]

@rroman1988 This isn't like Still Alive or anything. He simply wrote it around a riff he was messing around with and never messed with it again until this performance.

[shaddiGhumri]

EPIC WIN...... For Science, you monster

[g2dashizal]

"Spaaaaaaccceeeeee" Tell me everyone else heard it! XD

[Hysteria98]

This guy is such an inspiration, cliche as it sounds, him and Valve made history.

The entire Portal 2 soundtrack is now available guys, all 64 tracks, and it's free.

Now go thank Valve and Jonathan and enjoy the rest of your life knowing you fulfilled it.

[13narwhalsFTW]

@Hysteria98 where do i get it?

[Hysteria98]

@13narwhalsFTW portal2's main website, if you look

[WaterPearl888]

i played the first portal game a long time ago in my hometown, no idea where that game is now. ive played the second game at least four times now on my xbox it is SO addicting! ive also just skipped to the ending countless times just to listen to that credit song XD

[josema0890]

@DiamondOfLegends Youre right ^^ i understand weathley in fact of space, me fails

[DMeaderL4d]

9 ppl die 2day huh wat a coincidence

[DreaminginWaves]

Man, his falsetto in Want You Gone was beautiful. Such a great song-writer .

[robertoaalll]

9 people dont even know who Cave Johnson is

[antaloliver]

@robertoaalll Acctually 12 people now! Plus I thumbs upp-ed you're comment! :D

[TheRoope00]

My friend said this song is not made for Portal 2 but he's wrong! Jonathan Coulton made it for Portal 2! I believe VALVe "THANKED" or what is the word sorry I don't know... but VALVe must give a gift for him!! <3<3<3! I love that song!

[EchoBoomer1987]

"Just throw music against the wall see what sticks."

hahahahahaha XD

[jamestebby]

he fucked that up didnt he lol

[josema0890]

0:52 Weathleeeeey!!! xD

[ivelxz]

before this i did'nt know you could play electronic on guitair

[iTomAnks]

What's that pedal on the floor he keeps pressing?

[MrNgMichael]

@iTomAnks Either for guitar sound effects, or to turn off the connection to his guitar

[kaeboy]

okay next for Jonathan Coulton = Dota 2... WTF

[CorporalShephard666]

Who the f*ck dares to walk out on this song?? 2:54

[KidCoolio]

"throw music at the wall, see what sticks."

lol

[TimothyMcGaw]

Sounds great acoustic. Must be quite nerve wrecking to play this live for the first time, when it's still new enough that you don't remember the lyrics. I really find this to be superior than Still Alive from the first Portal. I just uploaded an orchestral version to my channel, check it out if you like.

[marcoooootje1]

*pats JoCo*

It's okay, we all forget our lyrics sometime.

[Trebgah]

Thumbs up if you want James Taylor to play this

[Trebgah]

Anyone else lose the game?

[AnimatedDolphinGirl]

LOL 4:18

[destructo2100]

Step 1: Get high

Step 2: Watch this with your eyes closed

Step 3: Win :D

doin it right now :D

[Xop8X]

Goosebumps... Seriously.

[PianoXfan1]

After he said shit: He said your someone elses problem blah blah blah. he messed up the ending alot :P True ending: I don't need anyone now when I delete you maybe I'll stop feeling so bad Go make some new disaster That's what I'm counting on You're someone else's problem Now I only want you gone Now I only want you gone Now I only want you gone But who cares i liked it anyway =D

[crazym24]

@PianoXfan1 It's his song he can sing what he likes ^^

[darthbane53]

SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC­E!

[TheAlSiratHides]

@LuCa5Arg Terribly well. JoCo would not approve.

[shelby4369]

@NaZiZoMbIeFaNFMP dammit we know everybody knows SPACE!!! YOU!!!! IN IT!!!!! WE GET IT!!!!!

[cheeseamin92]

i wonder what Ellen McLain and Stephan Merchant are doing right now after portal 2...

[Andrew43536]

0:55



[Greenie369]

Like the song and the game, but I hate people who think they're hilarious for yelling out quotes from the game.

[Thisshitisfuckedup]

@Greenie369 Yeah, Portal fans are the worst. Nothing ruins a great thing more than knowing you share you love of said thing with a bunch of tits who orgasm at the slightest mention of cake.

[CHEWYOURFOODNOW]

@Thisshitisfuckedup dude im a portal fan but i dont orgasam at the slightest mension of cake

[Thisshitisfuckedup]

@CHEWYOURFOODNOW I refer to hardcore fans and not the average fan.

[NexusHUBSH]

@Thisshitisfuckedup Damn, I thought I'd meet Yahtzee...

[ben5906]

forgot "go make some new disaster." WHO WOULD DO THAT IN A CONCERT!? lol but this is beautiful!

[MrJaro987]

Youtube, please stand up for the national anthem...

[Kycklingstek]

@MrJaro987 Should be the international anthem ;)

[moderatorsay]

@MrJaro987 euh why?

[anivasion]

I love the addition of the new lyric "SHIT!" in the middle :3

[TheMichaelsierra]

@anivasion right near the end actually

[necronzero]

lots of defective space robots found in this video o_O!

[Traslogan]

7 space-robots found this video

[MilesLeyva]

Glados made seven diferent acounts to dislike this video.

[Dsilink]

@MilesLeyva

i doubt that she'll dislike her own songs

on the other hand im pretty sure there's internet connection in SPAAACE!

[greenfruits2011]

watch?v=daCEzax86ns 7:01

Awesome crowd :D Spaaaaaaaace !

[bugybug1]

[Phllufy]

[hiddanman]

Portal And Portal 2 Was The Best Game Of This Generation

[Regulus4life]

SO MANY HALF-LIFE 2 REFERENCES.

[uberSPYCRAB]

@Regulus4life

Uh...I know black mesa is one. I don't see any others, am i missing something? :o

[Kandragonicus]

"Throwin' Music at the wall, seein' what sticks." XD

[Kandragonicus]

"Maybe i'll stop feeling so bad... You'v-- SHIT!!!" XD

[admiralsftershockrex]

So much space, need to see it all

[0polar0]

2:06, song start :3.

[1candi234]

get to the song!

[uberSPYCRAB]

He plays them in different keys live! That drives me nus for some reason xD

[DTMidian]

@uberSPYCRAB He's gotta key for his voice, he can't sing in the same high keys the originals were done.

[Channelofepicness111]

@DTMidian I can.

[bunnybosh]

remember when we were friends and i would be like "wait come back!" and you'd be like "yeah no problem!"

[AztechJP]

still alives the better one...nuff said cause he mentions cake

[raykrislianggi]

Musical genius. Nuff said

[AssaultBee]

You've got your short sad life left

That's what I'm counting on

[JaxonSheppard97]

Maybe black mesa

[infamousNfamous]

He's hitting those high notes with no strain!

[TheAremarr]

Tabs, anyone? :D

[astigshad]

this song gives me happiness

[mornmeril]

LOL SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE

[WernerEPIC]

MUST.... MEMORIZE. ...

[d4m4s74]

I wish I could reach those high notes.

[HeavensOfMetal]

@d4m4s74 I wish I could be Jonathon Coulton.

[TheBLTproduction]

i couldnt resist singing along. these two tracks are amazing

[lotusgirl002]

I love how he messes it up, makes him more human ;'D

also kinda learned me to just keep going even tough it's messed up ^^

[Henoik]

How could someone relate Portal 2 to space before Portal 2 was released? Maybe he have seen a spoiler? Or maybe he was a BETA-tester? The guy who said SPAAAACE on 0:55

[Tylergube616]

@Henoik Portal 2 has been out since April...

[sonicdsfan1]

@Henoik Portal 2 was already out...

[ZombiMiner]

no one cares if he messed up, everyone Still Loves him.

[zurkloyd]

Sweet!

now i wanna play Portal 2, who is with me?! :D !!

[jaella08]

soo....beautiful!!!!! :')

[cilitpop]

2:52 how rude!

[kokopilko]

Just throw music at the wall. See what sticks.

[Guille3692]

One Cake for you JoCo! Way to go!

[emporer15]

This video was a Triumph!

[sonicdsfan1]

@emporer15 nu uh it's awesome

[Blitzkrieg47]

Who needs a girlfriend or friends when you can go to a concert featuring video game music? Lol

[SaracottaPie]

@Blitzkrieg47 To be fair, I'm a girlfriend and I want to go to a concert featuring video game music :P

[Evrain64]

@SaracottaPie lucky boyfriend then, even now gamer girls are relatively rare :)

Unfortunately most of video game music just isn't up to JoCo's level - more often than not, it's just library tunes used to cut costs, japanese devs are a whole different matter though.

And so is Valve.

[Gmodrocks123]

lol "ill stop feeling so bad SHIT!"

[rspetlover445]

messed up on last verse

[heteromeles]

Best part: 0:00-8:25

[crazyweirdomimicers]

@heteromeles That's the whole song =.=

[Daynaynaynay]

@crazyweirdomimicers Exactly. :D

[heteromeles]

This...is...AWESOME! I love how everyone sang along with Still Alive

[heteromeles]

Thumbs up if you sang along to both

[goremister54321]

Even when he screws up, people love him. AND SO DO I! I LOVE U JOCO!

[hakersedem]

Jonathan Coulton is rat-man D:

[MexicanGnomes]

The first time he played this live was in Canada? SERIOUSLY?

I LOVE MY COUNTRY!! <33

[bertocaster]

7 people got sucked to SPAAAAAACCEEEE

[mrunknown2780]

[idan111]

He should record it! I need the acoustic version on my iTunes!

[DarthRevanchist]

Bwahaha, @the "spaaaaace" bit.

[mgkyo666]

*changed

[mgkyo666]

@mb259ful No, that was Chell. Valve just teamed her look for Portal 2. When GLaDoS mentions Caroline she's referring to how part of her old self, her humanity, has returned. That's because (!!!!SPOILERS!!!!) Caroline was Cave Johnson's personal assistant/girlfriend/whatever. When Cave became ill, he decided to get his research team to find a way to upload his consciousness into a computer. He ordered that if he died by the time that research was complete, Caroline would take his place as an AI.

[mb259ful]

spoiler:i found out why GLaDoS said oh its you again to caroline thanks to the credits song they looked alot similar and so chell died and carilon got out remember chell was outside and carilone was inside and chell was different hiar white and black and carilons hair was just black that proves chell is DEAD

[chrystalbeast96]

7 people threw music to the wall and broke thier ipods

[MegaAstroFan18]

He really messed up the last verse of Want You Gone lol.

[tailsdollthefirst]

i know he messed up at 4:20 but after that did he just messed up again XD

[AxiomBear]

I went to his performance in Chicago the Friday after Portal 2 was released, but I was so sad he couldn't play it live that day...

[JAXJAK218]

I got chills down my back when the crowd was singing along ._.

[solskuggan123]

Tumb up if u laught at the guy who say spaaaace at 0.55

[HaLoKiLlA297]

@solskuggan123 yup, i laughed and laughed, except i wasn't laughing

[LegoPieOwnage]

Thumbs up if you couldn't help singing along.

[haloP221]

See, even great artists make mistakes.

[Sharkatack95]

7 people cant beat the portal games.
