  • The intro is just amazing

  • There should be more musicians who are like this. He is just in love with the music and the crowd! You dont get that alot now days.

  • What a great view......

  • This guys amazing he's having so much fun up there that's what it's all about

  • you're where i want to be <3

  • Look at the smile on his face whenever he starts playing the opening notes of dark blue whenever everyone screams when they realize what songs coming on. 2:01 He loves making people cheer. He does it for the music. To make us all happy. And he's fucking amazing at it.

  • @TheDesignerRazor i was thinking the same thing, such an inspiration.

  • HE IS CRAZY! Just look at him moving!

    I <3 that guy!

  • I love the way he starts smiling when he hears the crowd scream :D

  • I love this version, I can't wait to listen to it on the plane to California.

  • now that's what i call multi-tasking...so talented

  • Is there a more clear or studio version of this? I've looked everywhere but no luck, this intro is just so awsome

  • @asianinvasion666 pretty sure they just played the intro live and only for a few months. it hasn't shown up anywhere else, to my knowledge.

  • @iheartconan Man I LOVE this intro, I wish they'd record it

  • it seems as though he has a hard time keeping still.......but I love it. :)

  • its almost to the point of ridiculous how easily he plays with one hand while moving his body around so much. Simply amazing

  • OMG! So jealous!!

  • Andrew is amazing and just so inspiring!

  • I wouldve died being that close! Shouldve stole the water ;) and I love his psychoticness he's so passionate about what he does! Love it!

  • I wish they come back here this winter in Lincoln Nebraska 2009!

  • i do too...but so far nobody can get in or out of lincoln this winter...fucking blizzard

  • lololololol stand sit stand sit stand sit stand sit stand sit.

  • oh my god this is such an awesome video... hes actually lookin into the camera at parts..!! so lucky to be that close..!! i would not have been able to keep the camera as straight as that if i was you... well done..!!

  • his energy is so amazing and seriously out of control!!!

  • so i was looking at his shirt and i thought, "that's the same shirt he wore when i saw him..." and then i realized it was the same show.

  • Jesus, can this band get any more amazing?

    Probably.

    Love the special intro. And Andrew's hyper-ness makes me smile.

    Also, props to Jay on drums at that last part.... talk about perfect! :)

  • sickkk

  • its on limewire

  • what'd you type in on limewire to get it?

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone know where I can get the mp3 for this version of the song? It's so amazing... is it on itunes or limewire?

  • this is amazing. im so jealous of how close you were!! i love jack's and just andrew in general. he's amazing. and such a good performer.

  • argh, just amazing.

    i love this song!

  • Wow, I love this guy... amazing

  • i wish he would play this version again. i get chills everytime i hear it.

  • he gets a rush when he sings it lol

  • It's called passion.

  • Andrew is awesome. Hrs not over dramatic, you are.

  • Would anyone happen to know what notes he plays for the intro?

  • the intro of this video he is playing

    Bb-Eb-Bb (its a Bb5) its a chord and he just

    keeps playing it over and over

    as for the dark blue part it is

    Eb-Bb-Eb-Bb-D-Bb-D-Bb-C-Bb-C-B­b-D-Bb-D-Bb Repeated over and over

    at least thats how its played on the guitar i picked up it may be in the wrong key (i think this guitar is half step down but its too late to care)

  • yeah, it's in the proper key =)

  • this is amazing :O

    i wish i could see them live

  • I saw them at the House of Blues Thursday.

    It was sooo intense, I cried. LOL <3JM

  • imm seein them in june with the fray!!

  • woot woot!

  • i wish i was able to see them with the fray!! but they arent coming to orlando of course :( and i dont want to drive to ga to see them. but i did get to see the fray 3 years ago so at least ive seen them :)

  • No idea. But I hope he does a recording of this new version on the next album :-D

  • Does anyone know what he sings during the intro?

  • And on the streets below the Valley glows

    And I saw clear to San Diego

    But Hollywood is where I want to be,

    Where I want to be.

  • Thanks!

  • I love Andrew's face when the opening of the original "Dark Blue" comes in at 2:05. With the crowd cheering he just gives that mischievous smile, that is an adrenaline rush in stereo.

  • He's so spastic, but at least he has energy. You can tell he loves to make music. :D I can't wait to see them on friday! Agh! Exciting!

  • obviously you don't know good music.

  • this is amazing

    you can tell he has a real passion for the music

    i cant wait to see them on the 27th

  • love love love loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

  • God, this is amazing. Jack's Mannequin is the best. Their concerts are so far above and beyond, I can't even wait to see them this summer. And I've never heard this version of Dark Blue before, I love it! They definately need to re-record it!

  • woah camera crotch there

    thats a little perverted lol

  • good thing he's zipped up! lol

  • ♫ On the streets below

    The valley glows

    And I saw clear to San Francisco

    But Hollywood

    It's where I want to be,

    Where I want to be

    You're where I want to be

    And it was dark blue...

  • isnt it san diego?

  • the first time he says it, its san diego, the second time's san francisco

  • both

  • the intro killed it.

  • I ♥ it

  • he has a humongo adam's apple!

  • lmaoo i love the crotch shot in the beginning

  • haha me too

  • The intro is fantastic....

  • i love this song! omg haha andrews so funny and he's hot!

  • Are you guys honestly freaking out about playing the piano and singing at the same time? That is not a hard thing to do, especially a song that's as simple as this. If you're going to point out his musical prowess, you should probably address the lyrics, or the hooks and melodies. The fact that he's playing piano and singing at the same time is a very novice thing to master. He is a very talented man though. I hate the faces he makes when he sings though. Great song though!

  • post a video of you singing and play piano for us then...if its so easy

  • Gosh I love Andrew. He is the only guy in a band I have ever geeked out over when I met them. Such a nice guy and an amazing singer/songwriter.

  • Comment removed

  • The intro is AWESOME.

  • I like Andrew, alot, he's who I want to be, He does good at making it interesting considering is stuck at the piano for the songs, keeps moving changing directions, leaving the left hand when it's not necessary to make it more entertaining. He's gained alot of stage presence since something corporate. Killer song wirter,pianist, and singer

  • i agree, i think andrew and ben folds are two of the most dynamic piano players out there right now.

  • omg! andy is so hot

  • Ha When I play this song on piano I actually have to concentrate! He's amazing

  • AAH.

    sdkjaflshjds

    ilove.

    JACK'sMANNEQUIN

    sexy beasts

  • His smile when he starts up dark blue is amazing..its like hes getting the same reaction i am everytime he plays it. like it doesn't get old for him.

    gaah, theres no words to explain him.

  • I like how he pulled his shirt down, haha.

  • Awesome stuff! Terrific band, terrific song, what's not to like?

  • man, he's just genius

  • he can freaking play the piano with ONE HAND and not looking at it..gosh..love da song

  • watch queen play the seven seas of rhye live at wembley stadium, freddie mercury is a boss

  • its actually not that hard. The piano part for right hand is reletively easy to play.

    SInging and Playing tho... thats good.

  • I would like mp3 with new intro too. But new intro is always different when i watch on youtube different JM - dark blue clip.s

  • when are they gonna re-record Dark Blue with the new intro? :O

  • ohmygosh.

    andrew mcmahon is honestly my hero.

    this is an amazing song.

    made better with the intro.

    i'm so excited to see them next tuesday!

  • did this new intro ever make it on to mp3?

    all i can download anywhere is the original version. i really enjoy the guitar riffs as well in this one.

  • I can't fucking wait for the new album!. Jack's Mannequin to me really is unique, there's nothing that sounds like it, I even want to get myself a keyboard cause the one I have isn't big enough so i can't play this song, I'm gonna learn how to play keyboard just for this song lol

  • truly immesne

  • he is so into it.

    its amazing to watch.

  • cool intro

  • i think he needs a different instrument he seems to energetic to be stuck to a piano like that

  • im so exited for the new album!!

  • And on the streets below The valley glows And I saw clear to San Diego But Hollywood It's where I want to be Where I want to be On the streets below The valley glows And I saw clear to San Fransisco but Hollywood It's where I want to be It's where I want to be Where I want to be Where I want to be Your where I want to be And it was dark blue...
  • thanks man!

  • love the beginning

  • amen!

  • I've heard fall of this year. Buuut it's been pushed back a lot and I think the blog says he's trying to make it like perfect so... it could be a while.

  • Wow, he has alot of energy..

  • Oh man awesome new intro, does it exist in studio quality? GREAT SONG btw ;D

  • it doesn't yet exist in studio quality (at least if it does, it hasn't been released yet) but andrew did say it was pieces of what could become a full song at some point, so who knows...

  • this guys fuckin amazing

    wish i cud be like a music genius like him

  • Its so interesting to watch him... he gets so emotional... like writhing in pain.

    It's amazing-- and you had the best seats ever.

    He definately makes eye contact with the camera SEVERAL times.

  • i just figured it out, been bugging me for ages trying to find out who he reminds me of, the lead singer........SHERMAN from american pie lol! great band but, i really like that lead singer, he seems cool

  • haha its funny you should say that. u know Sherman from American Pie was actually in a music video by something corporate for If U C Jordan. if u didnt know something corporate is andrew mcmahon's other band... maybe only i find this interesting.. haha

  • haha really, kinda small world ay lol. yeah that was his first band right? they were more, piano-ic correct?

  • actually, in my opinion, jm is more piano-based. but i guess we have to wait for his next album to really decide that. frick i cant wait for it!!

  • whats he say in the beginning, do u know? something about san diego?

  • AMAZING VIDEO- you were soo close!

  • yeah, this is amazing. gave me chills when he went into the song. ooooooh!

  • Does anybody know where I can find the lyrics to the new intro? I can't tell what he's saying, and I'm pretty curious.

  • he sings: and on the streets below the valley glows and i saw clear to san diego but hollywood it's where i want to be where i want to be on the streets below the valley glows and i saw clear to san fransico but hollywood it's where i want to be x 4 and it was dark blue
