Angels & Airwaves- The Gift (Live from San Diego)

[@ahliistar]

My favourite song by AVA :)

[@Knasengoesm00]

This song is like boom boom in your head... And it's fucking cool!

[@conordunphy]

Tom singing in his normal voice is majestic... i have to fly to england everytime i want to see ava play and its worth every penny to watch something as magical as this

[@StrawBeriLuv95]

I really love Tom's dancing!

[@rockwjz]

Fuck, I was at this concert.... This was the best concert I've ever been to... I was in to every single band there, and it just blew me away how much music can affect you. Not even after smoking the dankest dank can anything compare to the feeling I had that night.

[@Trustl3sS]

Davids echoed riff, goosebumps, the whole song, wow, thank you guys for being part of our lives for nearly a decade!

[@hanbanan4]

Tom's little dance warms my heart

[@dot0net]

this is the kind of feeling all music should give you... «AvA» for life

[@Silver1SWA]

I was at this show and I remember the cameras. Always wondered what it was being taped for. Now I see. Cool.

[@MrTuri93]

Me too man! This band change my life to the better! I wouldn't be here if there weren't for these guys

[@VegaChristo]

best performence ever of the Gift on youtube so far .

[@himynameissteven1]

even the song will be 300:00 min.long i can't get enough of this spacey sound

[@seanrenken]

Back when AVA released this documentary, my buddy and I went to the screening in San Diego, and he saw me in one of the crowd shots and screamed @ the screening "DUDE THAT'S YOU!" Pretty crazy and I didn't believe him until the DVD came out, but lo and behold... We were right up front for this show, and I'm the tall guy in the white t-shirt singing along from 3:30-3:34 when Tom holds the mic out to the crowd for the call and response bridge. Pretty Epic if you ask me... Fucking the Gift man...

[@timsimon8995]

That's awesome. Epic show! Where in SD was this? Outdoor venue?

[@timsimon8995]

Also you look a bit like Dave Kennedy! Brothers?

[@illeshurkecz5204]

That's so cool! :D

[@ADDX182]

L}VE AVA. They inspire me so much. And when I feel like giving up, AVA gives me the strenght to keep going.

[@Eurotour93]

PURE MAGIC...

[@Fletchuk]

MAY THE WORLD WE KNOW DISAPPEAR!

[@sigithoppus9591]

the gift my favorit song

[@heidimillers89]

Literally my favourite song and performance ever. I would have this as my wedding march if it fit lol

[@ADDX182]

One of their best songs.

[@KaolaFrance]

C'est tout ce que j'aime!

[@Bpags868]

This is from the Start the Machine DVD, all of his vocals are pitch corrected like crazy.

[@LestatWasHere]

Pure awesomeness... The Gift just makes you feel unbelievable... And this performance is the best I've ever seen Tom

[@shoukko7]

The most epic song ever. It gives me chills.

[@Jonathan-ze6oo]

[@Samzee89]

This is a really special song.

[@iulianlarion6659]

by far one of my most go to party songs

[@drklenk]

I love those effects on Tom's Voice! Sounds so raaaad!

[@solidsnakejake185]

[@ADDX182]

Toms amazing. Hes my hero.

[@purpleheartsofficial]

when he sings "disappear" at 3:06, goosebumps. jesus christ.

[@danareasy19182]

[@justinscoot23]

This is the best angels and airwaves performance I've ever seen I wish they always sounded like this it's amazing!

[@FillBar]

I want to sing that to the world.

[@EDEblink182]

epic song

[@Dakotashorter]

[@po-chungchen1740]

This song is too AMAZING!!

[@UNEXC]

Such a Beautiful song. Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. I love how Tom says "It's for you" instead of the regular chorus.

[@700Bonnie]

i fell in love with this band thanks to this song...still remains my favourite

[@DroptheDime44]

whatta show! can't believe its been so long

[@NintyGuy999]

[@metteandersencbs]

[@vaga888]

Unbelievably beautiful song

[@bubbatannous]

the all look as high as the sky in this video, expecially tom, but they are one of my favourite bands :)

[@dekadenser]

They sounded amazing this tour

[@Zarlobo]

you're so right

[@miniMM13]

[@SD-ct7hd]

This song is epic

[@LukeAleck]

I love this performance, Tom sounds good. Such a creative powerful song.

[@aorem85]

I love this song

[@Platypus530]

I love them!!

[@murph6802]

"Fuckin' The Gift man..... I like... Love playing that song " hahaaa

[@InsomnicSi]

Sir I completely agree with you and tommy delonge

[@DaVeTheTaliban]

The fucking Gift man ...

[@austinh9290]

right? its actually decent too... the rest are soooo bad.

[@parkerbrian11]

Lewis Saunders it's unfortunately enhanced for the movie

[@weareglaciers]

i like love playing that song.

[@jdvorak5]

WOW first line of it too haha....palm to forehead thanks

[@frankhammonds7462]

this sounds great...they need to tune him for every live performance.

[@frankhammonds7462]

+Dylan Burton182 I love tom, but his real voice can be brutal live...genuine or not. Nothing wrong with tuning him up live.

[@george8039]

exelente

[@guitarrocker1]

the early days of AVA like in 2006, he sang the songs pretty well

[@Dakotashorter]

I love all of the albums so much but I agree. Just some of the songs, such as The Gift, are just un-matchable.

[@Mighty_Average]

0:20-0:27 sooooo true. the gift is on ballance my favourite song :)

[@drklenk]

I like well playing that song

[@rosssparrow]

love pt 2 was there best album imo

[@MaGsvill0rich]

it's fuckin doom doom in my head... it's no1 in the soundtrack of my life!!!! i LOVE it ;)

[@MrTuri93]

Wish Tom could sing like this every concert

[@jmehd15]

I totally agree with Tom. The music being produced today is nothing what it was about a decade ago. It's all sloppy and sounds like it was all computer made. It's not real music. I honestly wish there would be more bands like Angels & Airwaves. And I really wish AVA would bring back their old sound from their first two albums. Those are honestly some of the best albums I've heard. I still think the 90s and early 2000s had the best music of any era.

[@timsimon8995]

It's only worse now. But at least there's some punk or pop punk hitting the mainstream again. I go to skate parks and young punks are playing shitty mumble rap. Bring back the 80s and 90s

[@lkiller8]

where did tom get those moves? lol awesome performance

[@timsimon8995]

I've done a guitar cover of this live version, using the same guitar... Minus David's chatting😁

[@The_Norty_Rider]

Great cover, and awesome guitars!

[@Lonnie_Johnson]

This song was performed completely live during the concert. For the DVD 'Start The Machine' the songs used were edited. So yes this video has computer corrected vocals. Tom was never a perfect singer and I respect however he chooses to perform these songs they're great nontheless. And 90% of the music you hear today have enhanced vocals.

[@heiena96]

NEVER ENOUGH by TOM DELONGE nom nom nom nommmmyyyyyyyy

[@IBlackOrbit]

I wish AvA stayed the way they were here when Tom had really long hair.

[@tommasoliam]

waiting for tom in italy!!!

[@Cheerios4u98]

@zito75fan75 Doesn't mean the video isn't auto tuned. I've watched a bootleg version of this entire show, and Tom didn't sound this good in it.

[@canoeclanner]

its such a unique drum beat its fuckin radd

[@Dakotashorter]

Tom's dance *thumbs up*

[@ryan4121]

I miss this goofy, awkward, and incredibly inspirational Tom.

[@blinkMATIC]

4:35 looks so similar to the 2002 tom

[@toberlorone01]

@XxSpRiTeZzxX It isn't autotune, it's more a sort of vocal enhancer or something like that, he would sound like a robot if he was on auto tune and he does hit the odd bum note

[@MedProfDrAcula]

his dance at 1.07 :D

[@Dakotashorter]

@champ1114 you're crazy.. have you had a listen to the new album!?

[@himynameissteven1]

tom's saying all at the usa tour 09 ''i'm tom,i'm gonna be playing a show and i'm gonna be awesome and i'm singing out of key and playing out of time cause that's what i do'' and that is the reason i like tom delonge

[@XxOrphenxX]

the sound 0:01 sound great

[@JohnJR2012]

The fuckin gift man

[@Platypus530]

The reason he's singing off key is he's trying to preserve his voice. Especially when he does a whole bunch of shows. It sounds like it's so strained so its probably at the end of the tour of he's sick

[@taylorabdon856]

Nah, he's just doped out of his mind.

[@rbreeezy3220]

does anyone know Atom's sort of drum sound (tuning) here?, is there some way I can make my set sound like this?

[@Rokethound01]

@shadowjinx agreed, but dude there is no autotune. he doesnt need it

[@TheHandofgod1234]

@kerouacsbeat FUck yes!!!

[@IBlackOrbit]

@dylrocker360 - Nothing can destroy Angels & Airwaves dude

[@jdm18244]

So tell me what's wrong if someone use a autotune or whatever effect on vocals do you call it , its like you had a gibson , good sound but you can't use your pedal effect , tell me where's wrong

[@guitarrocker1]

i actually miss ryan sinn after watching 2006 live shows, such a good bassist, but oh well, matt is a good bassist also.

[@redbulletlive]

If you watch all the Angels and Airwaves in studio stuff Tom STILL dresses like he did from 1999-2003. But now live he doesn't? I think that's just stupid.

[@samir0810]

@rockwjz Man what concert was it?

[@jdvorak5]

is this from teh start the machine dvd?

[@ponderGO]

theres no autotune...his voice sounds good but its all over the place and he switches up the vocal note arrangements too many times for it to be autotuned.

[@Zafire94]

Nope, his voice is actually fuckin epic live man! go see em live.

[@sandihume]

The thing that for me, confirmed that Tom DeLonge is a genuine musician is this part 4:27 onwards Now that is coming from his heart; that cannot be acted. All the criticisms of his lack of vocal confidence/skill and lyrical ability in Blink and AVA are diminished

[@newageopinions870]

In my opinion, their is few bands you could compare AVA with, but is it me, or do I hear just a little U2ish in this song!

[@snatchman69]

Its gotta be the clean delay :)

[@magicD53]

Correct ^ Tom and Edge use a lot of clean delay, even same delay time and everything

[@Pieman6711]

they said they draw a lot of influence from pink floyd and U2, as well as other bands. so yes, there is that delayed guitar riff that is reminiscent to U2! :)

[@dirtstyles]

U2 and a Flock of Seagulls for sure

[@Cheerios4u98]

@zito75fan75 Look, I'll be the first to defend AVA saying they sound a million times better in person than on a bootlegged KZbin video, but bootlegs don't manipulate Tom's voice to make him miss a million notes, and that's what he did in the video I watched, and most videos I've watched, and all three times I've seen him in concert.

[@juke2k8]

@xXxbrunswic51xXx He has not got a guitar that's why :) I like it also

[@mrturner03]

i miss adam ):

[@champ1114]

Back when AVA was fuckin legit. now its just not the same and never will be
