Silverchair- The Greatest View live at the arias

[Cody77377]

amazing live, and how great is that riff

[schieese]

Perfect performance!

[nasrosicky]

the best rock band ever from australia....silverchair rocks...!!!

[callum6053]

Come back soon guys... :(

[thaissarbd]

it's over....:( i'm gonna miss so much these old times.

[1996Jacqui]

poor dan, he must have been in so much pain :(

[GrungeMetalRocker]

they shud make more thz type of songs !

[jm72504]

This was a very good performance!

[Bundy70]

Still remember shedding a tear to this performance.........thank you Silverchair

[donkukis]

Best period ever.

[skoomers]

one of the best performances the arias has ever seen

[rustrose005]

I love how we walk slowly at back and sit...it shows simplicity...

[pontua]

@rustrose005 well that's actually because daniel at this time had arthritis. a couple of months before this performance he couldn't even stand up or walk. he sat down because standing and playing caused him pain...which in my opinion make this performance even more incredible!

[fanamire1]

Silverchair do such a great live show.

Daniel's vocal puts to shame a lot of so called "artists" now days who seem only to know how to put a beat behind a rhyme and dance around in their underwear, whilst off key.

Not only can he sing, he can do it whist being on meds and in extreme pain, now THAT'S a true artist! Love you boys, can't wait for the new stuff! =)

[silverfly000]

the voice of daniel johns is just so wonderfull

[zepthechairz]

i cant find original clip the greatest view.. T_T

[daniwaymosley]

it's so difficult find someone who sings really good live.

Daniel sings wonderfully good!

he sings with all his heart and soul.

Just amazing!

[faridjabba]

pop crap]

[ANGROL94]

excelent !!!!!!!!!!

[2128Rafel]

oh my god..it was the great perfomance in this planet.!!daniel`s voice is phenomenal....

[wolfhalen]

ouch, from tomorrow, and pure massacre to trumpets

man oh man

[steveoneil78]

Seven years later and this song continues to impress me. What an amazing band...they just keep getting better!

[faridjabba]

What a Gay Crap Silverichair is NOw, what hapend to the other members//_ _?this change is absurd, what a betrayal, seems he was more busines than real rock musician

[obecian420]

@faridjabba all the original members remain. the only thing that's changed about silverchair is that they've grown and gotten better, musically.

[faridjabba]

i disagree

[alemaldonado]

grunge is dead man.,...thats the reason silverchair changed their style...

[faridjabba]

i disagree

[radicalnation]

I can't believe this happened seven years ago. I remember watching this video on my computer right after this happened with my jaw *dropped*. Seven years later it still sounds as obliterating.

[HowPoetic]

God this band is amazing. Daniel's voice is phenomenal in this performance. :)

[nina19ish]

daniel was going through a very feminine phase with the eyebrows and the nails done LOL! but the guys rock anyway... thanks for posting

[0371998]

3:19...yah de mIss..is so intense ...OUé OUé OUé!

She is so Sexy..!! :) lol

[BLueEyeButterfly]

this was their first performance after daniel being out for a long time with reactive arthritis.. and he was nowhere near better here. you can tell. so damn good job i say.

[Katatonia1981]

This isnt crap at all, well written song.. and im guessing u dont even know the meaning behind it.. its about being stalked... he just grew up musically, cant keep putting out the same stuff, it gets stale.

[diesel2310]

Yeah, they're "CRAP"!

[Shawny08]

Its good to see videos like this. before they became sooooo crap.

i blame paul mac for the abomination that was the album straight lines. they were so good before that, frogstomp, diorama. It used to be good Aussie rock. Now? WTF?!?!?

[baxterkeyzy]

album was called young modern

[radicalnation]

If you're going to blame anyone for the change, blame Daniel, not Paul. Paul Mac has just been a facilitator, but it's been Daniel this whole time that has remained the creative director. The new sound is on his shoulders.

And, Paul Mac was, it should be said, involved in Diorama (*and* Neon Ballroom) during their making. Paul Mac is just a convenient scapegoat.

[ivanbrfr]

so much marijuana ! ;P

[binsablee98]

this live video is way better than the original clip..cos daniel sing like crazy eventho he was sick during this live.

[andmoc]

i like more the original clip, if anybody have it, please send to youtube

[andmoc]

I like the original clip, if anyone have it, please post

[binsablee98]

Silverchair more like Nirvana or Helmet?? Anybody??

[kennyvp]

daniel looks so hot at this time.. *-*

[koolkat307]

Yay! ok 100th comment, love Daniel Johns, he is the hottest guy, well back then anyway. I think it's great how he doesn't go and make a big deal of his performance, after he just goes on with his own buisness. There's a girl at my school, Daniel Johns is her 3rd cousin!!!

[igehring]

I find it funny at the end he just goes there and take a sit, lol. Great song

[theinternalmuse]

haha

after looking a couple pages into the comments for this great vid, there certainly are alot of guys swooning over the chair. ahahaha.

damn loyal fans.

silverchair till the end!

[muse0x0]

Beautiful performance. And, I think he's absolutely gorgeous. :)

[molkosis]

Awesome performance!

I love it!

[schieese]

omg, so good

[codaquinn12]

Love it.. This is the peak of Silverchair (at least this sound)

Anyone notice how in the chorus of the album version Daniel sings over the "I'm watching you, watch over me" like he is watching himself :)

Always loved that, I sing that part in live performances.

[Championified]

if only they were still performing.

[TheBornLosers]

they are...yeah...can't say much beyond that.

[Waffles18]

Awesome! Silverchair is great! i just hope to see them live someday :(

[fabiomateusmateus]

on of best shows of silverchair...

[godfather19]

the last part of the song is so good that i wna cry.

[HowPoetic]

i'm right there with you dude. =)

[skoomers]

amen to that!!

[jespero93]

i feel the same way. one of the best songs ever written. one of the best albums ever made. seriously.

and one more thing, just by seeing this, i get sucked in with their energy their bringing,just cause theyre so good live. sounds like the record.

[sirnathan]

I know.. the very end was so amazing... I felt my penis retract and I began menstruating....

[Nebel305]

hahahahaha I laughed my ass off!

[HowPoetic]

oh my goodness. . .they're beautiful!!! they sound amazing live! it's lovely

[burugudoy0013]

i grew up together with this band. i will never forget had they concert in philippines! i was just only highschool when i introduced to this band (that was a frog stamp and freak album then), and now im already 25 and its still kicking off my ass!!! rock on silverchair!!! daniel and natalie broke up a months ago... sad for daniel. :(

[clumsick]

shet, how i wish i knew silverchair back then! tangina ang tanga tanga ko di ako pumunta!!!!!!!!!!

[Slash1374]

DAN IS SO HOT!!!

long hair = good hair

[yannik123321]

He looks better with long hair!!

[macamsiot]

The Greatest View by the greatest band!

SC Rocks!

[smurfettebr]

FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

[rtalviar]

[ThatEbonyChick1]

[pijoe2]

[mexicanmayhem07]

He's so beautiful

[camdablinkfreak]

ahh they sound soo goood live...i looooveee silverchair old and new!

[lappinsilver]

What Ledgends That Was One of the best performances ive ever seen

[allendown]

his voice was perfect then, different then today

[charliebrown363]

his voice is still good, just different and more mature. he's grown up is all.

[burugudoy0013]

i grew up together with this band. i will never forget had they concert in philippines! i was just only highschool when i introduced to this band (that was a frog stamp and freak album then), and now im already 25 and its still kicking off my ass!!! rock on silverchair!!!

[lappinsilver]

Yer i grew up listening to silverchair

Ive seen a lot of there concerts but nothing beats Live In Newcastle Sensational

[burugudoy0013]

i grew up together with this band. i will never forget had they concert in philippines! i was just only highschool when i introduced to this band (that was a frog stamp and freak album then), and now im already 25 and its still kicking off my ass!!! rock on silverchair!!!

[superjumpkid]

damn i love his passion on singing...

[pearljammer13]

So apparently this song has been rereleased in the United States. I guess since Straight Lines put them back on the map over here they are bringing this one back. I think its a great idea cause this song is way too good not to be on american radio. I heard it the other day on a station in Boston. Its a radio edit, but its still awesome.

[blaqgurl]

that was one of the best live performances I have ever seen!

[morrisa2]

I remember seeing this on telly and just being in awe. I went out and purchased the album straight away and it's probably my fave of all time. Genius!!

[MissSilverchair]

You Can just see how much pain he is in but he went on and for that i love him even more!!

[mudchair16]

Apparently Daniel was stocked up on panadol before he went on stage and could barely play for more than 5 minutes. Fuckin' legend to even get up there let alone totally kick ass.

[MissSilverchair]

Totally Agree, He is truely a music god!

[morrisa2]

I totally agree with you both!!

[guitarspark]

ummmm WHY

[iameviljez]

Ben Gillies is having an absolute party on drums! What a great live song.

[skoomers]

this is like the the best ever aria performance! his vocals are amazing! and it makes me cry that he was in so much pain but still did so well!

[pearljammer13]

When they showed this on the documentary for Diroama on "Greatest Australian Albums", it was mentioned as one of the biggest turning points in the bands history. Its easy to see watching this...

[AquariangyrL15]

Ooh cool, that is good to know!

[morrisa2]

That documentary was such a good one!! This performance was absolutely incredible.

[liquidpersuasion23]

This is the single greatest music performance I've seen. Not even really a fan of Chair. But its such a beautiful song and album. Brilliantly performed. Arthritic and everyhting else! I remember watching this on tv and it drew a tear. Love it!!

[topoto11]

another guy mentioned something similar to "greatest music performance I've seen.

Just go to "soundgarden outshined live" and click on the second one...

that 's the best ever!...he he...i had to agree with rivariad

[wirsindhelden0]

they really make me wish i were australian.

...not like there aren't a million other reasons haha.

i guess i just really want out of america ;P

<3SILVERCHAIR FUCKIN ROCKS SOCKS THAT'S RIGHT

[elliseeatsghosts]

australia is the best.

[Kageti94]

he could sit down... and they could get someone to play his guitar for him

[anysound521]

wow thats was really good

[liberalhumourist]

legends! amazing performance, amazing song, amazing band .. i LOVE The Chair! its a defining moment of the arias and, of course, daniel johns is a god. I always feel so proud and patriotic when i see them play.

we make them good down here in Aus ;)

.lol ok end of sentimental moment.

[spaztasticFUCK]

aww omg the host was all

WOOOO SILVERCHAIR! :D

and daniel is just walking in

circles in pain and then

sits down :(

[motorfly]

Other than TooL. I haven't seen a band soooo close to just exploding into mega stardom. The new record is really well paced, less baby-grunge. disacossiatives is the best record of that year. well done. i wish i was him.

[Panadawn]

The first thing he did was discreetly walk over to the drum riser and sit down, thats a pretty good sign of the pain he was in, I think.

[jamesjimbob6]

even though he could hardly move a couple of weeks before this performance, he still chose to do it. what a battler

[codaquinn12]

This performance (althought altered) saved Diorama. It would of become a complete commercial failure if they didn't do this performance, poor Daniel.

[laurence265]

arthritis boy goes aww my neck hurts, everything hurts, I better sit down, owie. don't worry I'm not really making fun of him, he rules, I just think that's what he might of been thinking at the end of the video..I think he was? had to change guitar fingering a bit or something to stop his hand from locking up etc, trooper.

[brantan84]

bass tone not nice

[SteveRedFox]

Good song and I love the band, but is it me or is his vocals slightly weak and out of tune?

[xxCaMRocKxx]

im not having a go at you mate, but your vocals probably wouldnt be up to scratch either if you were doped up on painkillers and you couldnt stand and play for more than 10 minutes without your body locking up. lol. but yea you're right, he is a little pitchy in the chorus.

[SDCDIABLO]

slightly but listen to the song, he is liek one of the best rock singers, like its so high

[CanadasMostWanted]

fucking amazing.

[tahliaXXslvrchr]

that

is

awesome

i wish i could sing like that!!!! and gosh he rocks at guitar so goodly

[musicsquid]

just no

[souperman1979]

good stuff!!

[sickstyle]

someone please tell me what it was about this performance that was just sooo amazing! I remember watching it on telle and I was just in awe, and i didnt even know why. IM NOT A ROCK FAN! lol just something about this performance, emotion is like oozing out of it. big ups to paul mac too. Ever since this i have become a silverchair fan.

[AnnIsMyHero]

hes amazing

this was the first time he had performed since he had reactive arthritis

[pearljammer13]

This is my personal favorite silverchair performance. Stunning. He really cant sing this well anymore, i dont care what anyone says. He still has serious pipes, but hes not quite as good as he once was, like right here. His voice soars.

[xjchampx]

nice.. really nice...

[Glayam]

One of their best performances! They are one of the best live bands going around these days. Love their work!

[oldbegin]

he was feeling a lot of pain during this concert.

[Dopeness1]

From 3:00 on is fucking amazing.

[radicalnation]

3:46 is the best musical moment I've ever known.

[bballfreak10]

omg isnt it just beautiful. youdont see him hit notes like thatthese days :(

[s2krulzall]

OK mate u so do, he is back and can sing just as good and even better than ever b4

[thatkellygirlx]

awesome performance :D

[rubyjay2006]

simply amazing

[dylfish]

yeah a few chords were changed because the pain, i remeber seeing the rehersal interview

[Liverbirdy8]

He does look uncomortable here, not half as animated as usual when on stage and sitting down straight after singing!

You've got to feel for such a young guy who has often been crippled by his illnesses over the years!

[Puckoflaskan]

Daniel is back :) You are the best.

[shiivo]

by far my favourite performace of theirs. after all the health problems daniel had it was so good to see them play again!

[jswann2005]

Awsome Daniel!!!

[Luvyourlife]

He just got over his sickness here, although he was feeling pain for sure, I dont think the chords were changed, as far as i can tell it is the exact way of the album... But anyway the BEST perfromance of this song EVER!! My Fav band for sure!

[bballfreak10]

Nah, theydid change it. He had just come back from L.A from recovery and then afterwards he went back. He wasnt over the arthritis. Didnt he do BDO like a week later and he said that he doesnt remmeber like any of BDO coz he was on so many pain killers. I remember watching this thing on MAX TV and this was on here. They werent definately gonna play, even tho tey had rehearsed. At half time they asked them and he said that he could do it.

[mintymaggot]

He was in a lot of pain, u can tell by looking at him.

[pablotapiar]

excelent man.. daniel rules..

[kylieemery]

What a beautiful man....in fact, what a beautiful band! Silverchair rock.

[skyesandie]

I love him . Hes my idol for life ! Tnks for sharing ^^.

[moonlitedreemz]

wow

[dunphy16]

fuck he's amazing....

[pezraro]

why does daniel don't wanna receive the claps at the end?

[thommo91]

Wasn't he sick and still recovering when they performed this. Plus he is a bit shy from what i have seen of him.

[thommo91]

wasnt he sick before this and still recovering when they performed this. Plus he seems really shy from what i have seen of him.

[JulesTheCat]

yea he was. i can't tell but wasn't it also true that the guitar riffs had to be changed for this particular performance so that his fingers and hand wouldn't lock up? nonetheless he is fucking amazing and the whole band as whole really shined here!!
