[xbrandxnewx]

yeah they did
and it was fucking glorious

[ben pequeno]

ok.

[CorporateFish]

They covered that in Peoria as well. They did a very good job with it.

[unwritten]

Gravy.

[FASSWcore]

ooo, i hope they play it in columbus and pittsburgh next month.

[domesticyeti]

im a huge radiohead fan, but i think chris could pull this off
i wish i'd heard it.

[quitmyscene]

they did it at the free show in boston last month or whenever it was

[Bobcat46308]

awesome, my favorite radiohead song

[ACA]

Amazing "news".....

[NoseOverTail]

One of the most beautiful songs of all time, covered by one of my favorite voices. I think I'd dig this.

New album is tops.

[Nate_RAWKS]

yeah they did
and it was fucking glorious


Yes. Yes it was...

Great show last night Chris brought the rock and the crowd was insane especially towards the end of the show. And i don't think i've seen that many girls in once place at one time in awhile...geez...but i'm not complaining. ;)

[grimis16]

they dont deserve to touch anything from Radiohead

[fedhed7]

they dont deserve to touch anything from RadioheadTony called it.

[armorforchiodos]

the other way around methinks....dashboard is soooo much better than radiohead

[Manbotisdead]

Hmmm

Covers are done out of admiration for a band. Ease off.

i'm an elitist, and now im going to bitch at you for even suggesting such blashphemy.
its cool they covered the song. but DC is nowhere near as good/talented as radiohead

[PlusDanny]

Beautiful! Setlist anyone?

[chcougar1]

setlist (and no I wasnt there haha)

I am kinda upset with this setlist because it is missing staples like The places and saints and sailors

Heaven Here
Rooftops and Invitations
So Beautiful
Turpentine Chaser
Swiss Army Romance
The Secrets in the telling
Ghost of a Good Thing
For You To Notice
Dusk and Summer
Fake Plastic Trees Cover
Screaming Infidelities
So Long So Long
Stolen
Remember to Breathe
Dont Wait

Encore:
The Best Deceptions
Vindicated
Hands Down

I think it would be better taking out the cover, rooftops and invitations, and so beautiful and putting in the places, saints and sailors, and again i go unnoticed

Or he could add several ways to die trying, this bitter pill, and shirts and gloves....but i know that will never happen:(

[chcougar1]

I'm also hoping the U.S. setlist is longer....

Ive heard his voice sounds really raspy and I'm wondering if he is kinda sick...so maybe if he is completely healthy by the time the Seattle show rolls around on the 10th he will play more like 20 songs?!?!

[slickwataris]

whoop de do

[thewk]

you know who i'd rather see play this song?

radiohead.

yeah I was in toronto and went to this show. I was pretty disappointed because, a. I dont like radiohead, b. he played only two songs from places you have come to fear the most, and c. say anything canceled. John ralston and City and colour are not very good.

Still the backdrop for dashboard was pretty impressive enough to distract me from the sub par set list. And he totally killed it on Best Deceptions. It was really awesome.

[Brooklyn Kid]

more people claim to like radiohead than actually do. admit it...you are probably one of them.

i'm not a huge radiohead fan, but i love that song. im sure it sounded amazing.

[china white]

I believe somewhere in there you stated 'city and colour are not very good'.....yea I'm gonna have to politely disagree with you.....for real.

[chcougar1]

yeah....when looking at the setlist the distribution of songs is not good...I think there are 2 songs from the places, 2 songs from SAR, 2 songs from the So impossiblr EP, 3 songs from MMBS, and 8 from the new cd and a cover........

I thought I heard this fall was the big Dusk & Summer tour?

I'm hoping they are only playing that many new ones because Canada might not get to see the new material this fall? hmm who knows!!!

[rocksolidgurl]

Dude, what do you expect? It's the first tour after the new album dropped. Of course they're going to play more from the new album.

[PlusDanny]

Heaven Here (great song, odd placement- they should flow into this after Remember to Breathe extended)
Rooftops and Invitations (solid Dusk song, but not essential for a "Dashboard" set at the moment)
So Beautiful (one of the better songs off A Mark, but I'd love to hear Several Ways to Die Trying instead.. I figured Rapid Hope Loss or As Lovers Go would be more popular than this anyways)
Turpentine Chaser (good choice- he gets really into this one every time)
Swiss Army Romance (always a crowd fave and sing along)
The Secret's in the Telling (one of my faves on the first half of Dusk- appropriate)
Ghost of a Good Thing (wonderful slowdown)
For You To Notice (yess for the So Impossible EP.. where's So Impossible though)
Dusk and Summer (my fave on the new album)
Fake Plastic Trees Cover (should be amazing)
Screaming Infidelities (has to be here)
So Long So Long (close second fave)
Stolen (a lot of people seem to be digging this one)
Remember to Breathe (first thing I looked for on the set- love hearing the Say Anything, Brand New, and FSF lines in it)
Dont Wait (the new single)

Encore:
The Best Deceptions (biting live- I love to hear this)
Vindicated (you know, I never listen to this song at all, but I get excited to hear it and enjoy it live.. I still feel like I could do without it, but I'm sure he respects where it got his popularity)
Hands Down (it's Hands Down)

It's just not long enough for what I'm used to. I'm pretty sure he played 21 or so songs when I saw him last. Crowd faves that are noticably missing are Again, Places, and Saints. I'd love to see Several Ways to Die Trying for sure, but like someone else said, that's really doubtful. So many people know Age Six Racer that it's practically been renamed about 10 different things. I wish that one was on more often as well, but this will be a fun show. Maybe as he warms up on the tour, he'll add a couple more. Thanks for the list!

Yep, and he made some damn good choices on what to play from it!

[SlowDescent]

my fav album of the year..cant wait to see him

[patpratt]

somewhere on that website is an mp3 of them doing this cover.

[dchil10]

The chick with the violin really adds to the band especially on Heavens Here.

[armorforchiodos]

apparently stating your own opinion is looked down upon...

[Radiology]

its not an opinion.

Radiohead is one of the best bands of all time

period

fact.

You should probably grow up, thats not an opinion either.

[chcougar1]

Yes but he has said that the fall tour is the big Dusk & Summer tour and the album was JUST released...we need a little more time to learn all the words:)

I thought they would play 5 songs off of the new album, not 8 thats all

[rhythmgtr5]

Can someone send me this cover over AIM? The FTP on that site is full

^what he said.

especially the last line.

[SoCoSquid4]

they've been playing this song live for some time now.

[SoCoSquid4]

john ralston not very good? you need to be bitch slapped. its emo-folk. bright eyes meets dashboard, and it is done perfectly. and no by that i dont mean he is better then bright eyes or dashboard, but his album is amazing and live he sounds amazing.

[hubbabubbal3ts]

i can't w8 for this show.

[XxBrokenStarexX]

they played that too when I saw them back in April...

[zizou1790]

ooo, i hope they play it in columbus and pittsburgh next month.


word

[Dan CiTi]

you are the biggest fucking retard that has graced this planet

congrats, go cut your ears off because clearly you don't even deserve to listen to music
I <3 U.

[oldprospector]

ok city and colour were just boring. I thought they needed drums, I have to say he has a good, strong voice. But John Ralston was just, enh: I guess I don't want Bright Eyes to meet Dashboard Confessional to make "emo folk". That sounds awful to me.

[Bobcat46308]

fuck yeah dude

[Salomonbz90]

the other way around methinks....dashboard is soooo much better than radiohead
You listen to Chiodos.
Dont start pointing fingers saying who is and who isnt better than someone else.

[mbuchbauer88]

plain and simple: the new album is weak. i respect chris for his earlier work because it had passion and he did it for a purpose. swiss army romance and places were amazing cds. there is no question. then he tried to fill out the sound with a full band. thats cool, its what he wanted and he wasnt doing it for a label or for money, he just wanted some buddies to jam with. then came AMAMABAS. the lyrics were still honest and inventive, the sound a bit different with the full band but still pretty true to the dashboard vibe. for anyone who doesnt have the song this old wound, download it. this is exactly when he should have ended dashboard confessional, because thats what dashboard was. they were a shoulder to cry on for chris when he needed it, a means of letting out his feelings that kids could really connect with. when he was tired of writing that, he should have ended the band. now for all the fans, dont get me wrong, i would love him to have a new band, and tour dashboard every once in a while like he did with FSF last summer. but his new material isnt dashboard confessional. with the exception of a few shining stars on the album, the lyrics and musical performance dont do it for me. sorry to anyone who doesnt agree, but this is hands down the worst album in their catalog (no pun intended).

note: i know i left out the eps, but they werent essential to my point. also, im not saying the album is bad, but when it has others like SAR, places, and AMAMABAS to compete with, its got no originality... minus a few songs. thats not good enough for me.

[dwtf15]

mbuchbauer is a raging pedophiliac

[mbuchbauer88]

P.S.- don't wait, being the weakest song on the album, was the worst single choice EVER

[armorforchiodos]

hahaha i love this board...although chiodos and radiohead are weird comparisons to make...they may not be better than radiohead, but instrumentally chiodos is still better...radiohead members just arent that impressive on their own individual instruments...plus i love dash's lyrics so much more than radiohead...

[superplaid]

i probably would enjoy the thought of them covering radiohead more if they had released a better album than this dusk and summer thing. i thought it was subpar at best. i have thoroughly enjoy the previous albums, but this one just sank for me. but if he covered it well and did that song justice, then good job.

[grimis16]

Hmmm

Covers are done out of admiration for a band. Ease off.

i was just kidding...i read the title of the post, sarcasim

[weezer283]

a shitty washed up emo band playing radiohead is wrong

[Pooavenger]

the other way around methinks....dashboard is soooo much better than radiohead

you are obviously a shit for brains.


I heard Radiohead play the real thing in San Diego earlier this week.

[nevets]

How bout this...you can't compare Radiohead and Dashboard. They have two completely styles of music. However I believe Chris and the rest of the band are talented enough musicians to pull this off. Radiohead is a great band but they are still overrated.

[elvis]

nice

[armorforchiodos]

yay lol

[CorporateFish]

Ok I wasn't gonna reply to any of your comments....but I'm almost certain chiodos would bitch slap you for saying they are better musicians than radiohead...that's all.

[mogwaifearsatan]

Just go home. Now.

[alpaca]

plus i love dash's lyrics so much more than radiohead...

You know, sometimes when Thom Yorke writes lyrics, he actually means something else than what he says. Its called metaphor, and sometimes symbolism.

[JunkBondTrader]

its cool they covered the song. but DC is nowhere near as good/talented as radiohead
dont worry, thats the same kid who said the beatles suck.

[transylvanian]

Radiohead are influential, so I respect them, but I can't say that I enjoy their music, per cé. It's more of an appreciate thing. Like, many bands--notably Thrice and Thursday--started because of 90s bands I'm not big on, such as Radiohead and NIN. Dashboard chose a good song to cover, though, one of the tender-er nuggets in the Radiohead canon. As for the Beatles, whether you like it or not, they did everything first, and pretty much everything best. All musicians--Radiohead or otherwise--are in their shadow. You don't have to listen to them, but I for one think that respect for them is more or less requisite in any serious musical circle.

[chcougar1]

P.S.- don't wait, being the weakest song on the album, was the worst single choice EVER


I disagree (both with it being the worst on the album and a bad single choice)

What other song feels like the vindicated vibe? none of them really...Don't Wait sounds like a perfect single to me.

Secrets in the Telling will probably be next which is a decent single....I would prefer So Long So Long, but that probably wont come out as a single.....Heaven here would be cool, but I dont know if it will come out as a single

[phoenixinflames]

i didnt really bother reading all the replies, but yeah, theyve been doing this since like march

[danielscottt]

Who is radiohead?

[clace]

Radiohead has to be one of my favorite bands, and when Panic! covered them I wanted to kill myself. Chris could pull this song off, and I hope he plays it when I see him in Austin.

[GAD_guy]

ok........so have about 10,000 other bands. who gives a fuck?

[armorforchiodos]

lol i love posting random stupid commrns here bc ppl take it so seriously and become so offensive and angry...quite amusing;)

the dont wait lyrics are weak and repeatitive and there are only so many times a guy can let his armor down. it may be lyrically one of the worst dashboard songs in their catalog. and as for the vindicated vibe, vindicated doesnt sound like any other dashboard song, so its not a very good representation, especially for people who arent gonna buy the cd cause the single sucks. i almost didnt buy the cd cause the single sucked. it just really could be miles better.

dude you can't be older than like 12. just shut up.

[UnderManagement]

radiohead members just arent that impressive on their own individual instruments...

You're going to not recognize the validity of this comment because of how it is worded, which is very harshly, because that is just how wrong you are. But yes, you are completely fucking wrong. The individual artists in Radiohead are some of the very most talented and progressive artists in rock music.... the only other bands which even come close as individual instrumentalists are Tool, Incubus, and The Mars Volta. The fact that you think Chiodos is even close to this kind of individual talent is beyond comical. I know that loud fast things can easily confuse you, but compared to the artists I just listed, that band has absolutely no sense of rythm or anything in their music which is remotely original except in the random way the songs are put together.

[armorforchiodos]

see i really didnt mean anything i've said, i just like watching the fun...!

[x togepi x]

bands shouldn't cover other bands unless the band being covered is broken up.

[fob4lyfe]

John Ralston was very good considering I haven't heard anything by him before and City And Colour was amazing, Dallas Green was amazing live and the last song he sang had brilliant vocals live.
