Silverchair - Israel's Son @ Wave Aid, Sydney 2005

[hooodison]

a banda da minha vida... ainda espero ansioso pelo retorno deles...

[Gamefreak2201]

This still sounds good like on frogstomp but it seems a little more different

[malibumut]

Ahh, first note, every time, fuk me....how brilliant is this!

[1996Jacqui]

lol at merrick's intro! :)

[ChainChomp122]

wheelchair crowd surfer FTW 1:39

[allrain]

i love them but this gig is just soulless arena-rock facade. Like at 4:00 all this tricks to fuel the audience.. don't sounds right. IMHO.

[malibumut]

@allrain Your kidding aren't you?? This was one of the best live concerts ever, omg, if you were there, in the middle like I was, there is no way you could call this soulless, it friggen went off!! sooo good......

[THEYONATHANGARFIAS]

there are 3 Justin Bieber fans...

[themagnificenttman]

they need to make some new shit like their old shit! A new big fat rock album!

[joseluisrl]

please come to MEXICO .!

[RageLeppard]

I wish Dan would stop being such a dick about their earlier material in some interviews and even other performances. For one how many 15 year old hard rock bands have there been in the last twenty years that wrote shit this awesome. Its a slap in the face to all the people who have followed them from the beginning.

[Novelwit2000]

@RageLeppard

Here, here!

I mean this song sounds like something that came from a band who'd been in the trenches for YEARS. Not a FIRST song?

They had it ALL In the palms of their hands! And all they want to do is turn the corner. Well, if they're not lucky, a LOT of their fans are gonna turn the corner too--and turn away from their new stuff.

I mean, I guess I'm saying is that they got it right, RIGHT OUT OF THE GATES!

PLEASE S.C. COME BACK TO THIS. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

[Cure81Smith]

About 2 yrs ago... Daniel Johns ass from this video was my wallpaper on my phone!!! LMAO!!

[Cure81Smith]

About 2 yrs ago... Daniel Johns ass from this video was my wallpaper on my phone!!! LMAO!!

[AraBee77]

GREAT!!!

[MsStormcrow]

holy shit dan looks good, but i miss his long hair!

[malibumut]

Absolutely love this, gives me tingles everytime I hear it or view it, was there in the midst, and nothing compares to this version.! A1 plus.

[OGLngnhrd]

If you sit back and listen to there cd's you relise that silverchairs music has simply matured with there age. they have gone from angry teens to quickly educated in the business and done well at it. What where you doing at 14?

[wmil65]

and thats why people avoid them now,at the BDO people went to the Lilly Pad rather than see more crap from them, Natalie Imbruglia stuffed them up

[giga20]

It was the first show since 2003,,,

Everybody was very anxious

[rugratstar]

I'm speechless.........

He just gets hotter with age!

[gieboy00]

put your hands in the air. ftw!

[chrisissince1985]

Doesn't anyone fuckin get it, daniel hated there old music because there was no meaning to it, he didn't have any passion for it and that helped drive his downward spiral, so saying that they should stop there new music and return to long hair, grunge ninetys is just ignorant. they would be fish out of water and it would look pathetic. seriously get a life and accept that things change and people change.

[wolfhalen]

well you can't fault people for wanting good simple rock, there is a real lack of that now

you would think with what's going on it would be everywhere, there is plenty to be angry about

:)

[shelibeli40]

Well said! You are 100% right.

As much as I love frogstomp, Freakshow and Neon Ballroom, I really love, respect, and appreaciate how Daniel has overcome his demons and has grown as an artist.! The Dissacociatives were awesome! As was young modern and so on....Daniel Johns is such an insperation to me in so many ways. I wish that more ppl would open thier minds and recognize his pure, raw talent!

[timdenn]

So wrong in so many ways

[FCUBlade]

I dont thnk u get it, they madew the music thought they were right after he got older his style changed, dosnt meen that what they made was mad or meeningless

[malibumut]

Again, I view, cannot get enough, just want to be there, how could it be 4 years already, that i was in the middle of the most awesome crowd of people, it

's this song, just absolutely rocks it.."Put your hands in the air!", Oh yeah... whew!!!!

[ricochetfuzzy]

bit of vocal training and daniel will be back to his original greatness

u cant fault their live performances

hopefull the new material will be a bit rocky

[3dspider]

. . . did i just see a guy in a wheelchair crowd surfing?

[rockandroll4life1]

reminds me of a very

sabbath/like crawl riff.

[matonmagic]

I was proud to say I was there and the love in that house was awesome. Plus Silverchair just has a certain something as the sun set. Really it was capturvating.

[malibumut]

Yes, it was, the whole concert was so good.. Even getting caught up in the entrance to the field and the bar, was an experience in itself!!! Anyone remember the fullon line up to the bar, got majorly mixed up with the the flow of people going onto the open area, we were like stuck there for about an hour, but my goodnesss, didn't we meet some friends that night,, hehehe, plus looked after for about another 24 hours, , The whole day and night was so worth it!!.

[georgo342]

LOL theres a guy in a wheelchair crowd surfing

[marklouisjordan]

the guy in the wheelchair crowdsurfing ftw

[transformation24]

i knew him he died

[petrocoff]

best performance since 97

[CCInstantClassic]

you should watch BDO 2002

[arthemisjohns]

Fantastic!!!!

Great job!

Danil i the best!

[KrazyBeeBogey]

they have changed, but this performance is anything but shit. Granted his voice isnt the same, but johns cant stay young forever. after all the shit he went to, its pretty sick he is back playing this song.

[UpTheIronsForever07]

This is shite, they changed it too much, Come back old Silverchair!

[darnull]

i disagree

[radicalnation]

"Put your hands together and go SHIT MAD CRAZY."

Done.

[revolutionday1]

Incredibly simple, yet sick-ass foot slogging bass riff.

[KrazyBeeBogey]

4:01 must be a sick feeling. Just letting your guitar shake the place and listen to people cheer for you.

[AceGuitarPro]

SEE, With this these talent + Good ole Silverchair = Incredible

[Novelwit2000]

Wow, just how Daniel Johns comes walking out...you know he KNOWS that he owns the world!!! This is the Silverchair that I LOVE!!! (And incidentally the kind of music that I wish they'd play more of!!!) I mean, the stuff from Young Modern is good, but man the Frog Stomp days were the absolute BOMB! Even the song 'Slave' from Freakshow rocks! Not to mention The Lever and One Way Mule from Diorama. Just give me the songs that ROCK!!! Like this one. Thanks so much for the post!!! S.C. Rules!

[malibumut]

So do agree, weren't they just soooo bloody good?? Always up to expectation when live, effing brilliant..!!

[Novelwit2000]

I was lucky that I got to see them about two years ago at the Wiltern theater out where I live in L.A.. They were amazing that night, as they are AMAZING here. I know that they are all artists and will NOT be railroaded into doing music that they do not want to do. So, it's just so nice to be able to watch a video like this and see them do exactly what I love--which is to absolutely ROCK OUT!!!

Take it easy and enjoy as much Silverchair as you can!!! : )

[LucasHunter13]

omgggggggg that concert looks fucking amazinggggggggggg! wish i was there :(

now all they do i walk in straight lines :\

[Peri92]

I was there, best concert out

[erving25]

this has to be the best performance of israels son

[revolutionday1]

I think this drummer has the potential to be the next John Bonham.

[MUFC728]

who is the guy that introduces them?

[davekerr78]

Merrick Watts - local Comic - Has an afternoon radio program with a comedic partner, Tim Ross. They are known as Merrick & Rosso

[Trschwe]

It's that daniel? o.O

[doorzie]

1:53 - Wheelchair crowdsurfing!! Now thats awesome!!

[elfboyno7]

what has dan got on his right hand?

[alan1o]

did dan fuck up his voice at some point after neon ballroom? i seem to have noticed in his recent performances his voice doesnt sound half as grungey as it used to. i heard something about him having problems with his voice

[bunyip2005]

Nah he's just changed music genres sort of.

[theinternalmuse]

he struggles with laryngitis alot

and starting to sing like tht at the age of 12 when the vocal chords are adjusting cant be to good in the long run

[soundgarden86]

yep

absolutly true

[wilorompeojete]

put your hands in the air!!!

[philliphendley]

silverchair rule the world. the uk is missin so much

[blisteringcold1]

[CMGrunge]

Long live Silverchair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[glassrobot]

Wow.

Seeing Modern!Daniel singing Oldschool!Chair is sort of unsettling me.

I'm so giddy though. :)

[CMGrunge]

Man did hear U that scream that was awesome

[aorton10]

sounds like a mix of alice in chains and pearl jam

[GrungeGuy5506]

Holy shit man what an Atmosphere! i haven't heard a crowd react like that since the Beatles!

[silverchair82]

WaveAid 2005 is the return live of band from 2 years of silence

[guitarspark]

it wasnt silence

dan was with dissociatives and ben started a band with wes carr

[silverchair82]

I know, Tambalane & Dissos...but they played live together as Silverchair... so this is the return live of Silverchair from 2 years of silence...

[Guitartod420]

[jaime014]

[MotaroII]

[dumponchestorito]

[BreakYourFace61]

3:50-4:40 is sick

[allrain]

[bumba621]

total sick scream by dan at the end

[Vincent4Life90]

FUCK YES!!! Best of Israel's Son ever.  But a good performance should come sooner. Sit down Merrick. Your funny but we wanna c Silverchair as fast as possible. Know wa I sayin?

[germansillies]

it looks like BACK STREET BOYS DISTORTIONED

[raydonboy]

whew daniels looks different man..weird

[gregmilsome]

LMAO at the crowd surfing wheelchair 1:52

[cridss]

I can't believe they played this song in 2005. Awesome. I'm seeing them in a week and I just know they won't play it.

[satchhadley]

where ya seeing them???

[Mjroge01]

This is fucking SICK! That place is going insane for them! Any of you fucks who talk shit on this performance are just a bunch of youngn's who didn't grow up listening to these guys. True, they're not the same long-haired cats -- but they're seasoned pros now, and they sound incredible.

[nickaudioslave77]

Different live version of Israel's Son, I think it is the best one

[vandilization]

I wish they would play Israel's Son live more often

[jameson3169]

what a fag he looks like justin timberlake

[scdrewy]

JT would kill for those guns

[satchhadley]

lmao thats what i was thinking but not the fag part.

[radicalnation]

"WHAO." 

It's the "WHAO Factor."

[luupi]

Where the hell did you get this?!?! :O

[scdrewy]

it was on the waveaid dvd

[danaj76]

Wow! I have all but this one too, and I knew they performed it cuz I saw the set list. I actually thought they may not have aired this one cuz of the "violent lyrics" or something. Thanks for uploading!

[takersslayer]

its on the waveaid dvd .. but they added israels son and cutted emotion sickness and the lever.

[ohgodkillthem]

what the hell, i have the full concert exept this one, where did you get it? :O
