City and Colour Waiting Live @ XM Satellite

[@RodolfoPadilhaDrums]

Still vibing this song in 2024.

[@magster41]

was like 15 playing this song everynight on my headphones now nearly 30 and still here christ time moves so fast

[@makor2817]

I really like his way of transmitting feelings through his songs. They sound positive and with energy, but on the inside something really heavy is going on for everybody. Thats what I like, true feelings are just covered by a smoke courtain so that they can be molded, to make them work.

[@12guitario12]

One of the few artists that are consistently good any time any where

[@stevenlindsay3060]

Thanks Dallas Love Steve

[@Flopcore]

He's one of the only people in the history of music who sounds exactly like, if not better than the record. It's sheer talent.

[@makor2817]

A coma might feel better, than this; attempting to discover where to begin You're weighed down you're full of something...of sickness and desertion You're weighed down you're full of something, you're underneath it all So say goodbye to love and hold your head up high There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die Hope in better place is all I need, with moments of innocence and mystery oh it's the little things you miss, like waking up all alone oh it's the little things you miss, when you're underneath it all So say goodbye to love and hold your head up high There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die All your friends seem like enemies when you're broken down and empty All your friends seem like enemies when you're broken down and empty So say goodbye to love and hold your head up high There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die

[@yunabean]

I have the live version of this on my phone thanks to Apple Music. I listen to it almost everyday on my drives home from work. Fricken love this song.

[@spn122]

lawlwall. you realize a sequencer is a program that *sequences* audio and midi transparently, right? durrr. haha. guy... compression has nothing to do with mixing. that's post-prod work. also, there's not a lot of noticeable compression.. very soft if any. and by the way, I'm very sorry that I can suggest the identity of a design of microphone by looking at it and comparing it to what I know of already, instead of claiming it is another one right off the bat. see: use of "I'm pretty positive".

[@dylang2481]

hahah your a desmond hay. if you did see him live you must've have been listening. it sounds just like him, hes amazing. whats the point of trying to say its not him anyway, do you get some sort of self satisfaction? felt like you've become a music critic or something and actually done something with your life?

[@ChaosTheory693]

How can he sound so good live then say he doesn't think he is a good singer ? Nobody sounds this good live minus Dallas

[@Graceng13]

I know he's good...but listen while he strums his guitar the first time and is talking. I think the radio station just played the actual song over his performance. His lips are a little off sync from the audio too.

[@seesthemoment]

actually it is live, the mic he is using is a neumann u87 with perhaps a compressor on it so that is why it sounds so good. Probably tracked into Pro Tools and not much mixing needed my friend, but nice try

[@honestmango]

Also...for those of little faith, notice that he's not wearing headphones, so if he "faked" this, he'd have to be a human metronome because he's not listening to a click track.

[@MrMotherfuck123]

Is this the original Recording from this Radio-Station, or from the Record ?

[@xiaoina]

No, isnt it obvious Dallas chose to fake this performance and do every single other performance he has ever done legitly. Makes perfect sense.

[@patthewoodboy]

watched my dad die to this song ..its very significant :-)

[@pearlskakler4648]

Wow. Story behind that?

[@mrko5]

it almost looks like its the track just played over the top, if u look at his strumming hand especially in time with the music? who knows.

[@IRISHLUCK15]

your looking at a legend one of the best singers in the world check out ALEXISONFIRE he makes that band stand out as well thx for posting

[@chodefaceMike]

no you can see that is real because when ever he hits the strings in between the chords it matches up with the timing of the video

[@tdeleon85]

Dallas!!! Your my boy Blue!!! Your my boy!!! ✊👊🤜🤛

[@Graceng13]

It was ran through a board. Produced. I'm just saying, that's why it didn't seem live and had really good sound quality.

[@Graceng13]

There is nothing else like Dallas. ...is it me or is the audio a little TOO good?

[@BNewhooKk]

Fall out boy maybe, brenden hade vocal training he doesn't rely on the studio.

[@Graceng13]

So it's a studio performance...I really wouldn't consider that live.

[@gbluez]

I saw him live. He really is that good live. You could swear you're listening to the record. flawless...

[@dylang2481]

haha typo meant to say must not have been listening

[@StopDropandLOL]

He's just so good that he can make it sound like an album version even when it's live.

[@dipsettt18]

omg there better live they are the real deal buddy

[@daniellesmagic]

our glasses should get in a fight. mine would win-they're from lenscrafters.

[@loversinjapan3]

can someone tell me the chords for this song?

[@ImNotOkay101]

capo, 2nd fret, 4 simple chords throughout.

[@Grant117]

How can he sound this good live :O.

[@scarlettdear]

He's such a phenonemal musician. This song is immense.

[@AndrewAbe]

DALLAS IS THE GREATEST PERSON IN LIFE

[@xyxblank9255]

Dallas Green is my favorite!

[@Boxcar8118]

His hair looks like he just got out of bed and drove here. I love it. And yet again, I'm blown away completely by Mr. Green's voice. The guy has got some heavenly pipes. I just can't say enough good things about him.

[@WalkTenPaces]

Yesssssssssssssssssssss

[@Champs-Marques-Junior]

[@TJDenmead]

I fucking love this song.

[@nerdelizo]

haahah, what kinna idiot would doubt the talent of Dallas Green. He makes his music sound great, this just proves that his Live skills are awesome. :)

[@dipsettt18]

this is clearly live

[@AjypieFilms]

If you have the time, check out my cover peeps! Made a music video ish thing with it as I recorded audio separately! Thanks! :)

[@vulnikkura1735]

Lol. "Mr.Green"

[@Graceng13]

Yeah he is great.

[@honkeyslayer2133]

FUCK YEAH CANADA

[@Drumr4Jesus]

to all the ppl who think this isn't live, type in "Dallas Green of City and Colour performing Waiting" Pretty sure it's a recording that's jus as good as this one!!!! Dallas would never overdub any instruments or voices...He doesn't need to

[@urdead4g]

Listen to the studio version (pay special attention at all the vocals) and you'll see it's Nothing alike, apart from the awsomeness :)

[@Bmxrkid64]

Can someone please watch this video and figure out how he plays this song and then make a video lesson on it I've been trying to figure it out and all the stuff I find on the internet is nowhere near what Dallas actually plays.

[@agonzalez27]

Of course this is live. He goes briefly goes flat on "hope for a better place." He has two diaphram condenser mics recording him and some post-production so, of course, it's going to sound good. To his credit, his timing and pitch are remarkable. Not many artists today can do this. The point about the metronome is well taken. There is no way he could play perfectly on time without listeing to a metronome or pre-recorded song on the headphones. Simply stated, he's amazing.

[@honestmango]

It's definitely live. Any guitar player can watch his hands and know that this is live, even with the video sync problems. What you hear before the song starts is just the room mic. It's just a 2 channel recording straight from the board...there's some verb on the vocal, but the guitar is straight from the output jack. Listen to some other live recordings of him - as long as it's just him and an acoustic guitar, he's pretty much perfect. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS

[@bbbnewhook]

This is live.

[@gamingNFTs]

...I'm sure it is him. He just is amazingly good like that. Plus the original "waiting"song itself has base drum and tambourine at the beginning. Can't wait to see him in Montreal june 3rd.

[@yasukoNY]

I love his voice and listened to this song for the first time. Through KZbin fans comments, I saw a lot of opinion concerned with his background but I don't care about it! Cuz these songs are brilliant great and I cannot escape from this attractive voice.

[@mickaw1234]

why am i not convinced this is live? i love the song im not having a go or anything but it looks strange...

[@Alexisonfirepewpew]

OMG me too i would like die of happieness if i were there with my face glued to the glass. Dallas Green's music is like what keeps me alive.

[@goodalwaysworks]

most people can record good vocals, but it takes a true professional to do it live on a daily basis.

[@poxneo]

its amazing how perfectly his voice stays, not a fowl note

[@BubblegunNoGum]

Such great quality, flawless play and deep, warm and touching sound. Both vocal and the guitars. This, along with his boiled frogs performance are among my favorite live performances by him! So goood!

[@seansound]

1st and pinky finger=watch closely. . yes there is a micro delay but it passes my sniff test

[@jams4jcmusic]

2022

[@Midheaven244]

The half second delay doesnt do him justice,dude is a great singer!

[@giuliani44]

Dallas Green is amazing, this performance just shows how awesome he is live.

[@xmellymox]

Agreed. Hearing Dallas' voice live is an incredible experience.
