Tokio Hotel "Monsoon" Live Concert in Portland

[Ana100997]

OMG it IS playback 140%!!!.. i noticed that Bill always let the fans sing the part with "hey" :) but now he singed it alone.. hmm.. and the part from 02:22 .. "let it take me straight to you i'll be runing night and day" idk.. when he says it.. in the video is exactly the same... but in other videos when he sings live his voice is different. sorry Bill, but it's obviously :)) but anyway.. Bill, me gusta oO

[videoshot1000]

[rugbywing11]

Fuck I'm jealous. I live in Portland and I REALLY wanted to see them, but I couldn't get tickets :(

[music1guru]

I Was There But I Was Disapointed that at my first Tokio Hotel Concert they were lip syncing:(

[oregonolive]

Nooooo. I missed it. I can't believe they came to Portland. I hope they come back.

[annabanana12369]

@Xt0ki0Xh0telXroxX Actually, I got my tickets for free! Jingle Ball was sponsered by a radio station, so it was TH and some other groups too. People were supposed to buy a certain cellphone from Cricket to recieve tickets or be in Portland to win them. But I live in the Seattle-ish area so I just called Cricket, told the person working there how much it would mean to me to see them, and the nice man just gave me the tickets! It was really great of him :D I hope to see them on thier US tour soon!

[diamondheart333]

its awesome how even though he was fully recover he actually went on stage at all

[camichan19]

What venue is this?

I really, really, REALLY want them to come back so I can see them.

[THImmERhumanoid89]

[oregonolive]

I still can't believe I missed them in Portland. I'm recently converted. *sigh* I hope they come back.

[THXxXrocksXxX]

[neveraliveanymore]

[angelmusicbaby2410]

[izziediekatze]

OMG

[Lis95a]

Loe tokio hotel..they are an amazing live band !

:*

[MiyukiUchiha3]

oh this sounds like playback...

but who cares...it's tokio hotel and their awesomeness....!!!

omg!i am relly relly relly addicted to this band i try to get away from for at least a day i cannot do it!i think about Bill and on of the songs or sometimes things that i see and remind me of them like for example that song that is played in an episode where the four of them r at hot topic and Georg starts dancing with a mannequin...it's so funny...i heard that song today and i was smiling to myself

[MsTokiohotel18]

yup im addicted 2 i love them

[RBCKZEE]

wow this was a really good video :]

[lettyalmir]

[jonathanscgth]

Tokio Hotel é o melhor!!!!!!!

[KimMusicWorld]

Super video ;)

Pour un Live c'est Formidable

Bill Jtm'

İch Liebe Dich Bill

[Regen401]

playback -.-'

[ThingsThatReallySuck]

I want to plow these beautiful girls in the ass.

[arygore]

ALL, artists do playback ALL at least a couple of times in their career. and you gotta know that sometimes it's not up to them. us TH fans know that Bill loves to sing and Tom georg and Gustav love to play. As long as they don't do it often (which they don't) then there's no biggie. Because when they do, they lose the magic (:

[Trekkspillgutten]

did you know that all bands and artists sometimes use playback at live concerts, its not only Tokio Hotel that does...

[XxtwilightxX45]

i really miss bill lwith this hairr

[ttokioh0tel]

I actually think it's playback ,cause it sounds exatcly like the radio version. But I really don't think it matters. Bill sings live VERY often, we know that it always sounds great, maybe he just needed to rest his voice, who knows ;)

[ttokioh0tel]

He's so hot in this video ;)

[WhiteCross2XX]

I actually don't think this is a playback, it sounds slightly different-maybe this is just one of those days for them. All singers have playbacks in the background to back up their own voice, perhaps this one was just one of their better concerts.

[YoBeboSangre]

@WhiteCross2XX

this was a little after the surgery, so he probably at the very least had playback in the background (especially at the last chorus - you can hear the TOM CHORUS WOOOT).

and the "hey's" sound different, but i deff think playback was involved. and understandably so - they tried to go to a lot of their dates even though bill was still recovering.

[LoveSkittleForever]

@WhiteCross2XX In love concerts they do a mix of playback that also matches their pitch and detects vocals, so if he stops it stops. Ive seen it and read about it. def playback. this was around his voice problems time.

[NaylaParisMusic]

Its playback, but bill looks hot as hell :)

[mocafester]

me gsuataria ir aun oncierot de tokioHOTELLL

[Ellziix]

please tokio hotel, come to England

[1995rocka]

...this is a playback. sorry to dissapoint ppl, im sad too. at least he looks sexy <:\

[IXWannaXlivexforXyou]

I L-O-V-E Tokio Hotel :D

-Bill Tom Gustav Georg-

FoReVeR!~

[7sRandom7s]

AGH!!!!!!

I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS CONCERT!!

I live in portland AND I MISSED IT! Oh well....I'll have to wait for the next concert in portland....=P

[kotney777]

aww. bill is really cute here! but he always is. his hair is so awesome here too! (=

[amberly10197]

i was there!

[chobitloves]

ok i thought bill was a chick from his singing and his pictures ...thats not even right.

[IFoodForThoughtI]

You think that isn't right? How about the fact that you thought a girl was named Bill? Idiot.

[chobitloves]

actually i didnt know his name

[sparkle2010]

my friend got tickets to there concert when they came to america and her mom made her take her for "safety concerns" i think she just want to see gustav because she thinks he's cute anyways she said they were amazing she brought back pics of them and i think i wanted to cry because i wished that i could've gone lol but yeah i hear that they're pretty amzing on stage

[katy4live]

bill look so nice here

[edwardcullenlover504]

Oh My Kaulitz!!! They are soo HOTT!!!! most talented band on the freakin planet!! am i the only one that thought Bill's hair looked good like that?? ( though i love the hair now too)

[iluvstokiohotelandcb]

[Jazzyman124]

i can't believe they used playback i was sooo pissed when i found out!

but i was there i was all the way in the front

and when bill came off from the stage i touched his ass!

teehee :)

at first i didn't know who they were.. until i started listening to their music and i liked it!

so now i'm OBSSESSED WITH THEM! especially with tom!! hahah

but when i first saw bill he reminded me of a vampire-- you know from twilight!

seriously he's beautiful!

[xEmAxLoveSxTHx]

What the hell is this? I mean they never play playback on concerts...And the place where they play is just...strange xS

[marapaky]

it is playback

[Nick5379]

I'm surprised you got such good footage. I took some with my camera, but the light and the bass pretty much drown it all out.

It's a shame no one caught my mom shouting that she loved the twins.

[windrix1]

WHY do they use playback on a concert?

[Jazzyizzy123]

Playback!

[PippinMcGee]

Oh man... he is beautiful...

When was this?

[annabanana12369]

Dec. 4, 2008 :)

[BillundTom1989]

oh how nice!bill is awesome here!when it's playback you can see all the emotions in his face...<3<3<3

[Krisu12345]

Ja, der beste band in der Welt!!!!! <3<3

Awesome video! I can't wait I see them again =))

[paigefanatic90]

man when they play monsoon and bill sings it, tom should at least sing at the end or look like it because we all know thats his vioce with bills at the end of monsoon. hes got a great vioce

[30stmfriend]

I live in Oregon, and I didn't even know about this concert. Gosh..I missed out..

[PottsProngs]

AGH I HATE YOU.

I SO WANTED TO GO TO THE CONCERT.

I freaking live in bellingham! So worth it to drive to Oregon for it!

[Adesadi]

Bill's style has evolved many times now, but I like this style best. Fluffed up hair, no streaks, and with some of it falling over his right eye. Like how he looked at the fanparty.

[thpg96]

ich liebe dich bill!!!!!!!!!!!

[trendyrockz]

omg ur soooo lucky !!

bill lookz awesome <3

[plkiplkiplki]

hey check out my page it rocks and so does Tokio Hotel WOOOOOOOOOOO

[plkiplkiplki]

[annabanana12369]

YES THEY DO!!! der beste band in der welt! ♥

[marymimi11]

I wish I had been there! I would kill to have them come back now. Bill is the sex ;) .

[ttokioh0tel]

they have to have playback sometimes, if it's a tv show or something like that. but who cares? everybody knows they are great live, and recorded :)

TH FÜR IMMER!

[PinkiTHTwilight]

this is in playback but i love them soooo much!!!

Tokio Hotel <3

[MaddieMusic30]

[niggabigs]

so cute how he sings to tom and georg sometimes :) lol

[sgni1990]

es en playback, ¿no le da pena?

[gutitis]

love it!!!

[gemma1287]

is cute this video

[niggabigs]

is he lip singing here cuz bill never goes that high live and it sounds exactly the same as the video

[annabanana12369]

They used playback (in description). So it IS his voice, just not live.

Playback

noun

1. the act of replaying a sound or video recording

[niggabigs]

yeah i know it's him singing!! im jus saying why didn't he sing live

[annabanana12369]

The reason I've heard most often is that the people putting on the show (i think the manager of the club or the radio channel) wouldn't allow them to play live to cut back on the chance something would go wrong (he'd forget lyrics, they'd mess up playing ect.). I'm not for sure, thats just what I've heard.

[niggabigs]

ooooh kay....well i think thas dumb lol the fans will still love them anyways ya know?

[di93ve]

I was there to!!! Might I say they were amazing!!! like always. duh! You have a really good quality video...i didn't get much of one. lol. I was just really excited to be there and I was lucky.

[uglydoll93]

I was there and uhhh i was somewhere crushing in the front row, and it didnt sound like a playback until i watch my video again and that one of my friends told me that they were since one of her friend father owns that club or something like that.

[billtesorinodolce]

♥

[CanadianEh91]

Georg's hair looks extra soft in this video.

[screamochick06]

so why did they have to do playback? Does anyone know?

[cloudwalker08]

for how long was this? it doesnt seem a big place maybe thats why they did playback, and honestly most of their fans are girl who are infatuaded with some of them so nobody cares the playback if they can see them, i dont care if Bill is infront of me , shame on me haha.

[sSenerio]

Muuur-- As far as I'm concerned-- I don't care if it was playback-- it wasn't one their actual concerts. I think people care to much about things being live/playback-- Their concerts are always live-- and stuff like this? This is different-- yeah It'd be nice if it was live-- it'd be nice if it always was-- but you know they've pretty much being milked like nothing else-- It great just to see them -GAAAAH How can anyone complain when they looked so freaking amazing there?!?!/! -headdesk-

[zwj1986]

I like BILL

I like his eyes, as if heaven's star-like flashes, a deep imprint in my mind。

[pearlpearl503]

i was there! i really hope they come back

[lovinbill]

bill looks so freakin hot .. but is really sad that he used playback..:(

[surfergurl96]

I cannot beleive they were in the same city and me and I missed it, my parents suck. I can't tell if it's live it just sounds to perfect compared to other performances

[harumiXspringXbeauty]

I just figured out that I was where they were and I was screaming "DAMN IT ALL!" because I didn't get to see them!

[smexxiorli]

ok this makes me sad, there is no way in the world that that is live, i cant believe that he would think the fans would fall for this! i am so pissed off right now!!!!!

[BarbielovesBill]

I love Bill's sexy movement he does with his hand at 0:31 ,and the way he touches his body at 0:32 ♥ Too bad they did playback :( but the video it's awesome! :D I love it! I'm going to rate it: 5 stars ;)

[thENkp]

His hair is terrible there... and sorry but this must be lipsinging... I've been twice to their concert and well I am sorry to say but it wasn't great live.. so I am sorry for your wasting-of-time-to-go-to-their­-concert! xx

[NikeSponser04]

that cant be live ...to perfect

[meganjeankaulitz3]

it is not live:(

i was there he

fucked up a few times

[fouadgabi]

this is not live

[pirategeisha]

no, he messed up a few times during the real concert, but it was still amazing :D

hes still a very good live performer

[ToKiOHoTeLFansTV]

holy crap.

Bill is fucking amazing. :) <3

[MistikXy]

WaaaaaaaaaW awesommmmee Wickedd

WONDERFUUUUUUL

[Dravenswraith]

ive heard this kid sing live on acoustic performances for radio..he can sing...so idk why there would be a need for playback..

[annabanana12369]

exactly!

[surfergurl96]

I wish they would do play an actual concert here

[2aDORAble3]

i missed that day sadly:(

bill is lipsynking?

[4noM0NEYinTHEworld]

God Bill looks AMAZING here! <3

[TokioHotelChick1989]

I was there!!!

And Bill was singing...

There instruments just weren't plugged in!!

Thats why they looked pissed...

The stage manger after removing The Veer Union's equipment they forgot to plug in TOKIO HOTEL'SOnly the mic's were working...

AND BILL WAS REALLY SINGING!

[GotJonasBros]

I was there it was Awsome!!!!

[xmetrostationlovex]

bill not even singing

[LeleBlondHair]

i tokio hotel in playback durante il concerto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????? che delusione

[hrconhferfe]

Bill did playback on this song.

I can just tell.

I've listened to this song 2 trillion times.

[annabanana12369]

yeah, its sad that they do that... Kinda makes you wonder why.

[hrconhferfe]

I think I know why.

That song would be hard on his vocal chords.

After his surgery.

:)

[annabanana12369]

But they've played live after his surgery too, right? why do playback on this little concert of only 4 songs?

[nataliee9]

aha it was a concert of 4 songs? did you pay for it? dude, a 'concert' with just 4 songs isn't a concert. that's why they did playback!

[annabanana12369]

no i didn't pay. *whew* thank goodness!

[anatomy86]

Thanks for the vid!! Awesome quality :DD

Bill is so handsome here! And @0:32 his moves are like those in the "DDM" clip XD

Btw how many songs did they perform in Portland??

[annabanana12369]

Only four :(. It made me so sad... But it was denfinatly the best four songs of my life! I plan to go to Germany someday and actually see a full length concert in German ;).

[anatomy86]

And which songs namely (apart from Monsoon)? :))

Oh, yeah, I also wanna go to Germany to see their full concert in German! :) But I have no choice anyway except coming to Germany to see them 'cos they're not going to visit Russia I think =\ Well, but if you wanna see their concert with German songs then, yeah, you should go to Germany or France ;DD

[annabanana12369]

They first came out with Ready, Set, Go! then Don't Jump then Break Away then finished with Monsoon :D. I wished they played more but I'll just save up for a different concert because their german songs are better =).

[anatomy86]

Hehe, their fave songs to perform at such shows :)

Oh, yeah, absolutely agree!! German songs are better no doubt just cos they're original :D Though I love some of English versions too like Monsoon ;D

[DADADOooOMz]

WOW *_*

i loooooooove them ;D

[alexavril94]

wow this is great!!

[nicethgirl]

omg on 1:32!!*___* sooo hot!

bill swing your ass^^

[intelcoreduo2]

i smell something..fishy..hmmm..

[intelcoreduo2]

yah, this is a playback..maybe something's wrong..or..yah..hmmm..

[lilhunny22]

I was there too! At 2:40 Bill is singing to my friend who was in the very front row.

[sillygoosemuffin]

yay i was there! this is really good quality, the best i've seen so far. thanks so much fer postin :D

[annanas320]

Haaaaan le play back à deux balles!!

et ils sont déjà fait du play back plein de fois... mais peut être pas un concert entier...

[catchita]

c'est vrai...mais si tu écoute les dernieres performances live qu'ils ont fait à des émissions de télé tu va voir que Bill mérite de se reposer la voix et en a besoin s'il ne veut pas la briser!

[ohxnaaan]

c'est du playback... putain ils en avaient jamais fait jusque la...

[xmetrostationlovex]

gawd i wanted to go so bad

[rosesarered139]

bill is lip sycing, which i don't get, he's amazing live in all the videos i've see,

[xmetrostationlovex]

ya he is

[Thaliana6]

great wonderful video! you were a ways back, I was astonished when you zoomed in on Bill's face and it stayed good resolution. The sound came through perfectly as well. What kind of camera were you shooting with? I need to get something that will shoot this well at concerts. And good job bringing it in, most people thought they would confiscate and then they didn't even check :P

[annabanana12369]

Its a Jvc Everio GZ-MG21U camcorder. It's small (apple-sized) but takes really good video.

And they were supposed to take away all cameras, the venue didn't allow them, but so many fans had hidden then whipped them out when TH came on that the security didn't even try to mess with it. The power in numbers ;D!!!

[Thaliana6]

thanks for the info!!! If I ever make it out of Brokesville I will consider this model. I am so far beyond sick of shitty cell phone quality videos.

[piscistauro316]

haha yea, i came from wa 2 c them in oregon 2 XD i LOVED it!

[kaulitzluvr90]

They sound EXACTLY the same live, if not BETTER! I loved my TH concert experience! :D

[Thaliana6]

well, yes... that's because this concert as well as Phooson and Anaheim were all playback. Now I'm not saying they're not amazing live, nonono! I've seen them 100% live playing full shows in 4 US cities. ALWAYS godly. But the reason this show sounded exactly like the album was that it was in fact the album. Playback = the guys play their instruments, but Gustav has damps on cymbals and pads over his drums, and Georg and Tom aren't plugged in. Bill sings but the mic isn't on. We hear the album.

[kaulitzluvr90]

oh I know...I could tell this was playback. :D I was talking about the concert I went to. They played live and it sounded better than the CD. and it's funny, because you can tell something's not right by the look on Gustav's face...it's like he has a secret! lol

[Thaliana6]

Gustav and his faces <3

[gemellinaruy]

ma come si muove Bill? ò.o'

patetico.

[billtesorinodolce]

OMG !

Awesomeee !

Bill was.. oh magic ! =)

[twinangie]

awesome....... he looked very good with his new look

[7Lolaa]

O.O omg.. Bill was moving sexier than ever

he looked a bit tired though..

thanks for posting =]

[billbabeiloveyou]

around 40 seconds why did everyone scream really loudly???

bill looks so hot

[annabanana12369]

Because he is taking off his jacket. *Woot Woot* ;)

[billbabeiloveyou]

o yay sexy!!!

did u take any more videos?????

i really want to see more!!!
