From what I've read, Dane left the band in 2003 at a gig celebrating the release of their EP, as Brendan Reed and Win argued on stage, leading Brendan to quit the band and Dane considering the band to have broken up, also quit, with Tim joining shortly afterwards. This information must be a bit inaccurate then seeing as Dane and Tim are playing together here.
@Lihyahm: Well, your information is mostly correct, but from what I know, Tim joined earlier (by the end of 2002). That EP release concert was in March 2003 but Brendan and Dane didn't quit right after that, they were still part of the band for about a month, although they didn't show up at a lot of their concerts. They both finally left in April and the band almost broke up, but they wanted to finish up their scheduled shows - so my best guess is that this vid is from that time, spring 2003.
These videos are so amazing to watch Thank you for posting. Nothing quite like seeing one of the biggest/best bands in the world in their earlier more unknown days.
And then they won a Grammy... :D
