Daniel Johns was in a high dose with painkillers in order to make this gig. The man could barely walk. The tour for the album was postponed for almost one year. Honestly, even though some fans complaining about his late musical career, that's a guy who was into a lot of effort to please them.

[@superfan2122]

silverfr3ak why was he on a high dosage of painkillers was he in an accident?

[@silverfr3ak]

Gracie , reactive arthritis. It got worse later so the tour was postponed until they get a good treatment. He said in interviews that, in the worst moments of the disease, even the water pressure on a shower was painful.

[@GummyGrandma69]

I wouldn't say underrated but I would say that not many people are finding their music for the first time as much as when they we're a band. I mean yeah they are underrated for teens and younger adults but for people who grew up with there music it still seems like they have a big fanbase

[@Db_SpaceFace]

Silverchair is incredibly underrated. Hell, even in their prime, most people talked shit about them and the people who listened to them. I say this as a silverchair fan! From '95-'05 it was cool to hate silverchair for music lovers. I never understood it. I remember people throwing around the "Nirvana in Pyjama's" payout constantly. It's easy to see who were into silverchair back then and who weren't, we remember how silverchair was normally viewed by normal music fans back then :P For reference, I was in the audience at this show!! The first & only time Channel V filmed the Gold Coast Big Day Out instead of doing the Sydney one. I remember noticing the cameras on the day and losing my mind knowing I'd get to tape the show off cable a few weeks later :D Sucks they didn't keep the first two songs from the set, they were mind blowing. They opened with an insanely awesome version of Emotion Sickness and went straight into Without You, then that is where this video picks up from.

[@tj1480]

I know he was struggling mentally but the dude was a musical god.. his voice was amazing and his live performances were awesome no matter what was going on in his head. It’s sad he couldn’t accept that they were their own sound. No matter what you classify it as, they were their own. Period. 🤘

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Time will speak to how incredible Silverchair really were. They were one of the great, great, great rock bands of all time. The total package. Songs, performance, growth/progression over their career. As popular as they were I think they were and remain underrated. Much of the songwriting is so incredible and it got better and better from album to album. Although albums like Diorama and Young Modern did not sell as well outside of Australia as Frogstomp and Freak Show did, I think in time (and it's already happening) will be held as Silverchair's best albums and all time rock n roll classics. Up there with the other great, great bands and songwriters. In the long run it doesn't make a difference but it is a shame that Daniel Johns and Ben Gillies can't find a way to compromise each one's petty hang ups about the other and find a way to be friends and enjoy each other's company. The world was incredibly lucky that a songwriter and performer like Johns was able to connect and create with a drummer and performer like Gillies. The great rock songwriters who have lived and died without the world ever knowing because they were never able to connect with a proper drummer is likely innumerable. Had the Daniel Johns, Kurt Cobain's, Billy Corgan's, Chris Cornell's etc of the world never met the Ben Gillies, Dave Grohl's, Jimmy Chamberlin's and Matt Cameron's of the world, I sincerely doubt they would have become platinum selling artists.

Daniel gave them his childhood from 1992 til 2011 ..He was not well during many of those years and needed the break to do his own thing.

I reckon 2002 would have to be the peak of Daniel's voice, he seems to be hitting those high-notes on the Diorama songs far more comfortably than at any other time - it'd be interesting to see a performance of Across the Night at that point, since he struggled a little with it from 2003 onwards.

[@dahomosapien]

Dude I completely agree.

[@Db_SpaceFace]

There is none. This show was in Jan '02, three months before Diorama was released. They only played a handful of shows after returning from their 12 month performing break. Sadly they held-off performing the more over-the-top songs until the album launch tour (which was meant to coincide with the launch of the album in April). They ended up cancelling all shows after the Big Day Out tour because of Dan's reactive arthritis. So they never played any of those over-the-top songs until 2003 when Dan had recovered (but his voice never hit those 2002 and earlier peaks again, his rampant alcoholism which started up around the same time is mostly the reason). Drunk Dan is nowhere near as good a singer as stoner/pothead Dan (which he was before his turn to alcoholism).

Silverchair kicks major ass!!! saw these cats many times during teenage years

[@shamicentertainment1262]

lol the way he sung freak was pretty funny. using a whole bunch of weird voices. Perfect for a song like that.

[@ronesss33]

Shamic Entertainment the live performances of Freak made me love the song a whole lot more. His funny voices and expressions were hilarious 😆

[@anvarmora]

Every Freak live version is funny at all. The most funniest was at homebake in 1999.

[@josephfragnito6110]

The creativity of Daniel Johns is on show

[@tonyrobbins1665]

I remember when silverchair headlined big day out I couldn't believe how well they performed and how everybody was jumping and moshing instead of recording the concert on their iPhone -_-

[@EmeraldZion]

Well it was 2002 and people didn't have iphones back then but I guarantee if they did they'd be filming

[@thegoodguy44]

They didn’t headline.

Sounds like a bullshit story all round really...

[@SteveR5954]

saw them on this tour... they were truly awesome

[@hansbockler]

That "Go!" in Slave (9:09) with the lower octave on the guitar kicks so much ass.

¿Who is still here enjoying the show in 2025?

[@danedgar1539]

Fuck, what a set! Some guys are just on some shows, these guys were in a different stratosphere that night! Best band in the world at the hight of their career on that night!

[@Hooligan71]

16-17 here, had a national day declared for them. How FREAKing awesome

[@GreetTheSacredCow]

Your math ain't mathin'. Born in '79, this show was in '02. Still impressive but.

[@ShoesOnBookshelf]

i hope they come back one day.

[@avedic]

Oh they will....I'm certain of it. And I cannot WAIT for that album. I want it to be as weird and creative and catchy and pathological and strange and psychedelic and groovy and unpredictable as humanly possible. And I know Daniel, and the band, are capable of that.

1:31 wow perfect vocals

I feel no difference between their life performance &in the album,just awesome..😘😘

[@kaylabella23]

All I can think about is how this man was able to go from Kurt grunge soul crushing grit to Jeff Buckley soaring heartbreaking sounds in the span of an album. Anyone talking about that?

[@zacharywilson1282]

I think he's better than Kurt Cobain.

[@kaylabella23]

@@zacharywilson1282 my comment was more about his brilliance of range in his vocal technique and style. Not who’s better. Used the grunge as one end of the spectrum and Jeff Buckley as the other. That’s rare for an artist to have that in their wheelhouse let alone vocally deliver that within the same song!

[@klm4446]

​@@zacharywilson1282 I love Kurt, but agree with you. No question, he far surpasses Kurt as a singer and songwriter.

[@125basketcase]

We want the old silverchair come back!!

[@MrSpitlip]

mate, im expecting them to come back as 35/40 year olds, big long beards etc......when they get older and realise what they had, after they live life for some time, and explode with emotion, back onto that next album!!!!

[@thegoodguy44]

They’ll be back in a few years. The money is too good to pass up.

[@hamletthepig6945]

I just want silverchair to come back
