During the whole preformance I saw four maybe five people with there arms in the air feeling the music until they finished, bloody hell that's shocking after the preformance they gave everyone should have their arms flapping about in the air and jumping or dancing. Feel the music people thats what going to a live show is all about not standing there like you're watching paint dry.
Holy crap, what an amazing band. My only complaint? THE CROWD. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING!??! Sheesh, I was at a SF concert in New Hampshire last August and the whole crowd was going effing NUTS for EVERY song.
come on !!! this guys rocks, in a studio record or a live concert no matter if the voice change, i dont care !!! this band gives everything in every show in every performance,
they can play for hours, they love what they do and you can feel it in every song from a cd .. dvd or a live show and thats why i love them... please don't mess with SWITCHFOOT (:
MY FAVORITE BAND EVER. My favorite vocalist. Great song / poetry writer (however I give credit to all of them... they wouldn't be here if there weren't all 5)
Anyone that tries to compare this to the album is misinformed. This isn't the same song as it was in a stuffy studio. Music is about expression. When they perform it live, the song "We Are One" means something greater than just a radio hit, not only to them, but to whoever is listening.
the esence of the song is all.... and the esence is a super melody ... what he say.... this is the most important... and he call that we are one!!! and in this world must be a change, if not, fall down as we are very slowly... and he and not just an artist he is a minister ...
i thought it was kinda funny... thus, i'm posting it.
p.s. Jon is AMAZING live and of better quality than virtually all artists I have ever seen. Most fall short but he always has the passion and the gift and talent behind it. I look up to him so much as a performer. This is so amazing and touching and moving.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Crap. He didn't sing it as well as he did on the album. On the album, his voice was angelic, majestic. I guess no artist ever sounds as good as they do in the studio, thanks to autotune and studio magic
@angela1894 Obviously, the vocal quality of the majority of artists will degrade somewhat outside of a clinical studio setting. Granted, Jon is by no means perfect, but he is a step above most lead vocalists I have encountered. Give him credit. These guys tour for a large portion of the year, leading to a possible overexertion on his voice.
By the way, listen to their latest album, "Hello Hurricane" (just nominated for a Grammy award, incidentally). The use of autotune is virtually nonexistent.
@2LOTR4 I'd also like to point out that Switchfoot is one of the few bands that puts out live material unaltered. Most other bands these days rerecord and autotune, even on their live media. In most everything but Live in San Diego, Switchfoot leaves their live recordings raw; I think it's awesome that there's still a band out there who stays true to what they actually sound like and who are more concerned about the passion and the meaning of their performance than hitting all the right notes.
@angela1894 I made my friends listen to this song and the first thing that they noticed was that he sounds good live. imo this is way better than the studio version
@angela1894 the esence of the song is all.... and the esence is a super melody ... what he say.... this is the most important... and he call that we are one!!! and in this world must be a change, if not, fall down as we are very slowly... and he and not just an artist he is a minister ...
@angela1894 If you haven't been to their show, you can't judge
I used to wonder if my favourite band sounded worse live because I watched a lot of Switchfoot shows on YouTube, then I went to their concert in Sydney
If anything, it's the recording equipment not doing their music and vocals justice
@craziestpunk I would correct that statement to add Bruce Springsteen, but that would be a matter of taste, really. I agree that SF sounds so much better live.
Man what a lame crowd. The citizens from Nashville gotta take a step away from that country stuff and learn how to ROCK OUT. It's not all about compression and single-coils.
@Disciple1818 Oh totally. These days seems like Drew uses Fenders a lot and most Fenders are equipped with single coils. Ultimately, having the option of both gives, well options! :) And these guys have a great balance of sounds in my personal opinion.
This is just soo good, i remember when he used to be shy on stage liked everyone else is still today. But this guy and the rest of the band really know how to get the crowd into it. AND STILL give a sick performance!

@2LOTR4
Most albums don't even use auto tune. That's just a plug in for hip hop artists mostly.
Most bands if they do use pitch editing it would be Melodyne..
Which doesn't auto correct, a person actually goes into the notes personally and changes them to the right one :]
Extremely hard program to use.
