I am a huge DC fan and I generally like every thing Chris does, but yes, his voice is quite off-key in this performance. It could be poor sound quality in his earpiece or something, though, because if you listen to other versions of this song live (especially with the band), he is quite good. Just an off performance, that's all. No biggie.

[countingcrows123]

they are usually good live.

they had a bad day i guess

[mercurydavid]

difference berween recordings and live is horrible...

he sucks big time live...

i wonder if ppl get paid to write stuff like "hes a legend"....seriously lol

better stay at studio DC -.-

[nackalack]

pure talent. incredibe musician. amazng poet.

[julyblondie08]

I don't really notice a big diff in his voice at all????

[ajaakola]

sounds hung over...or judging by the set, doesnt care

[Ensigneo]

hard song to play but would excpect him to do better his voice was pretty sour oh well we all have our bad ones

[wherearethestranded]

whoever fucking says theres a song called "abercrombie and fitch" is a fucking idiot.

[DavidDope2]

why would you want him to sound the same all the time, i think it's cool that he varies it up every once in a while

[LVdancerbabe]

It only matters when you go from good to bad.

[alanportfolio]

that wasnt verry good.

[xitsmex00]

that is his normal voice...

[x3Santi]

I loveee Dashboard Confessinal.

Does anyone know the song ambercrombie and fitch by them?

Good song kiddos.

He kinda trys to hardd. I wish he would just do do his normal voiceee!

[fob0195]

Wow. He didn't really do bad...hell, most bands really play like shit live. He was pretty good. Sure, he's done better, but still...

Though yeahh, nice. I like it. I would've said this is one of my favorite Dashboard songs, but they're all too good...hard to put one over another. =P

[pacopinoy]

that was super shitty ill admit, but still he's amazing cause he wrote that damn song all by himself and dashboard is still the sexiest acoustic music ever regardless baby <3

[parisleblanc]

I love my epi ej200 (L)

[renba7en]

the thing in the hole isnt a pickup. its a feedback buster. the pickup could be one of many brands installed under the saddle (i think thats what its called) Ive got one on my acoustic made by fishman, was like 200 installed, not too bad. anyway, cruddy performance, hes not into it... ) :

[RaabLees]

i got a cheap ovation one :L

[ColouredConfessional]

fishman pickup with a feedback buster, fishman pickups are so expensive!

[skywalkerYanni]

it doesnt sound as great because theyv got the audio super loud and can barely hear the guitar

[leandro157]

nininininiceeee

[JordanCaiolaMusic]

hes normally flawless live... this was a little dissappointing ... its one of my favorite DC songs... but he sounded a little flat here... i guess hes aloud one just okay performance every once in a while lol

[Jst0911]

he sings this song flat in his unplugged too

[JuJuHound]

anyone know what pickup hes using, or what that type is called. the kind where it covers the whole sound hole. Ive been looking for one and cant pin down what theyre called.

[Jst0911]

what covers the soundhole is called a feedback buster. his pickup is inside the guitar itself

[rollingstone1993]

lol, jjp009

" i have the exact same model"

" so its not the same on, not as good"

hahah o wow

[jjp009]

rolling: Uhhh, what are you trying to say about me? It's almost English. Try a little bit harder to make some sense.

[iamboredok]

he's great live=]

[bradleygrayson]

are you serious?

below me

vvvvvvvvv

[Jst0911]

i noticed that someone said they "have this guitar" yeah right do you know anything about guitars? this gibson is easily out of your price range son

[jjp009]

jst: Actually, I have this very same model guitar myself (Gibson J-185EC in Antique Natural), and although the list price was $3,300.00, I got it for $1,941.00 including tax. It's not too bad back in 2003 when I got it, but I heard they are up to about $2,400.00 now.  Gibson's changed a lot of the specs now, too, so it's not the same guitar...not as good, I think.

[Jst0911]

yeah man im just kidding about that, cause i would want one of these myself one day and i finally got a chance to play one at a Guitar Center right around where i live and it was listed as $1,799 although it was a J-88 it basically looked the same ha. but nothing compares to the J-185, in my point of view. thanks for ur opinion concerning the new gibson models

[jjp009]

jst: Keep this in mind if you're buying a NEW J-185EC, Gibson completely changed them from the model here. They changed the fretboard from ebony to rosewood, the ebony bridge is now rosewood and not moustache anymore, just straight. The birds-eye beak neck is now just straight, and the gold-plated Grover tuners are now just plain chrome. In my opinion, they ruined this beautiful guitar. You're paying more and getting less! Luckily, I got mine before they changed to the new specs in 2006.

[Jst0911]

so 2005 and older is probably better, eh?

[jjp009]

Definitely! Gibson ruined that guitar starting with the 2006 models. I happen to love ebony, and now it's all switched to rosewood, which I don't care for.

[Jst0911]

A difference between ebony and rosewood is a difference im not familiar with. Care to explain further? However, i do understand what you mean about the moustache bridge of classic gibson models thats just another reason im attracted to gibsons

[jjp009]

Ebony wood is black, hard, smooth, very fast fretboard wood, and it's kinda rare in that it's found only on Mount Kilamanjaro in Africa. Rosewood, is red to brown, softer, kinda rough, not as slippery a wood for fretboards. Yeah, the moustache bridge is gone, it's just straight and plain now.

[Jst0911]

awesome. thanks for the tip. and looks like you've done your research. if i wanted a straight bridge, i'd take a lesser version of this guitar in another model. just to say that my fretboard came from kilamanjaro africa is a great reason anyways.

[leandro157]

I LOVE CHRIS [2]

[zsamsherez]

I LOVE CHRIS

[smallzofcourse]

whoever says hes not good live is halfway retarded. quite possibly the best live performance of our time fool

[spence9302]

not good live? listen to thick as thieves live. your mind will be changed.

[shavei7]

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING as always!!!!! DC forever!

[tetra3000]

i love acoustic dashboard, nice post :)

[anaclaudiarico]

ele devia casar comigo, devia! devia!

[Tavis92]

hes not that good live, but it might because his singing needs harmony and backups

[assdoooouuutttt]

you rarely hear someone else singing behind him.

have you ever heard further seems forever?

he used to be lead for that, but I guess he broke off and did his own thing, which lead to DC.

but I don't think they're as good now, compared to having Chris.

[NEWSIESROCKMYSOCKS]

Brilliant! :-) Thanks for Posting!

[shircat]

I love him.

and i wish i was sponsered by Gibson :D

[sdguerrero72]

If you dont like chris live then you dont like dashboard , this is how it all started with just him and his guitar!!

[robojones]

thats the biggest loada crap ive ever heard. ive listened to him from the start and just coz someone dnt like him on his own, it just means they dnt like his acoustic stuff, his stuff has varied a lot since the start. further seems forever was before dashboard and they were nothing like his acoustic stuff, chris is great with or withour the rest of the guys

[feeerna]

god i want that guitar

[ColouredConfessional]

I have it..lol

[z354x2]

wow, I've never seen this before, thanks!

[leandro157]
