Dance Gavin Dance - Count Bassy (live at Swanfest 2022)

[@Oh_its_Mike]

Tillian is literally on the verge of tears with every word man. RIP

[@Zero96Yummy]

he broke down a bunch it was hard to watch

[@dillonknight199]

@@Zero96Yummy yeah I was tearing up myself I am so glad they still put on this amazing show for us

[@kyleejohnson6776]

I feel so bad too because when I am crying I can barely speak. He was really trying 😭

[@BScribbS88]

They say what he died of?

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

Im fucking ugly crying damnit

[@StutteryBoi]

Tilian’s breakdowns were heartbreaking, but no one is pointing out Jon. This probably put him through the ringer. Jon started wiping his eyes near the end of the song. At the end he just covered his face and slouched over. He’s never been as outgoing as Tilian, but it’s hard to see someone so composed and calm start breaking down like that. I hope everyone is doing okay. Edit: Rewatching this after the new single dropped, I just noticed that Andrew had to step back during the bass line to cry. Tim was his best friend, which I actually didn't know about at the time, so seeing that hurts even more. To all who haven't, listen to Ghost of Billy Royalton, it is a great single and an even better send off. Rest in Peace Tim.

[@petergermain8443]

man this is devastating to watch. tilian was doing the impossible by going up there and even trying to perform for a crowd. it definitely would've made sense to postpone the festival, but there's also something beautiful about everyone coming together to celebrate tim. really brave of these guys

[@simonst-laurent7601]

Andrew and Tim used to place themselves back-to-back for the song's ending with Jon's part and Tim's bassline. You can see Andrew leaving the stage at the moment he's done with the guitar on this song and getting some crew members comfort him. This is hurtful. My heart goes out to them.

[@NocteAeternus]

damn this actually made me fucking bawl for a hot sec when I noticed it fucking rip to one of my favorite bassists of all time

[@matthewwomack8010]

You could feel the immense sorrow in his voice across the whole festival. The crowd sang in support and it was beautiful

[@rayciannello2268]

On a positive note, Jon Mess sounds incredible 🥺

[@DoomickthePancake]

Being a vocalist myself, screaming while crying is so much easier than singing while crying (not saying it's easy, just that it's easier than singing). Had I been in Tilian's place I would have just yelled through all the songs. There's something cathartic about screaming your heart out when your heart is broken

[@noahfence6838]

Didn’t think I’d actually cry but the ending got me. Much love to DGD for this. ❤️

[@Chrisstrohm14]

You and me both

[@P-Rabbit]

Same, brother.

[@andrewdevall4438]

I've never heard Andrew sound so powerful up in Tilian's range. Usually he sounds like he's barely pulling it out, but this was mental. Really excited to hear more from him

[@gavinc6366]

He also had some vocal cord issues after the last tour I believe. Probably still recovering from that I imagine.

[@Shadeinthesummer1]

Honestly all for him being the new lead singer

[@Ghostlag]

@@Shadeinthesummer1 chill

[@streetrat123]

@@Shadeinthesummer1 he’s great, but Tilian is greater.

[@speakquiteastorm]

@@Shadeinthesummer1well well well

[@FartoonNetwork]

When the crowd sang along for the last part... so beautiful ❤ RIP Tim

[@HarperReagan-g6r]

I will never stop loving this performance. The emotion is palpable. RIP Tim even now.

[@mucaslatos]

sergio medina was great filling in for tim on bass! and seeing tilian so sad like this makes me cry too :(

[@sarahfeliciano4980]

I’m so sorry for yours and this worlds loss. This really hit, helping us see the pain you’re in. I hope your hearts and minds ease quickly. The pain lessens, though the love does not.

[@sarahfeliciano4980]

And thank you for playing through and dropping JJ. The tour and WWWY were so great. We’ll be here if you need a break.

[@sarahfeliciano4980]

(Aware this isn’t their post, but just putting the vibes out)

[@theotorbiak4123]

Utterly heartbreaking. Stay strong, gents. Tim's so proud of you lads.

[@andrewthibert1291]

Soon as this song came on I couldn't stop crying. Favorite song of the whole night. So much respect for them.

[@AB-tt6dv]

Damn, you can tell how sad they are. All the love going your way boys! ❤️❤️❤️

[@JoFoShowz]

2:49 seeing Tilian swing to the beat and the lights going off but I was so close was one of the fuckin sickest things🎉

[@Yorchpy]

3:36 I love this part, Tilian I love u man :(

[@3kingspowerlifting119]

Such an incredible song. I fucking love this band. Rip to a legend

[@LT_Hayden]

I cried to this love and I never even heard of dance Gavin Dance. thank you for posting this

[@summernicole9838]

I know man, the crowd backing the lyrics shows true love

[@ressurself1427]

Your catharsis is beautiful, I wish I could be you ❤

[@mitchplaysriffs]

Oh my bro’s.. On a positive note: Jon is killing the “empathy is overrated” line

[@HI-pi1er]

They have so many bangers

[@valerymorales6201]

Something I will always be proud of being in the DGD community is how apart from this loss that we have taken recently we all still manage to come together and unite our voices like in the last bit of this song….it’s so beautiful

[@annajohnston750]

Oh this hurts. Rip Tim

[@DropDatBass]

Tim would be so proud to see them doing this show for him. Don't get it wrong, it was for Tim!

[@Drea_A]

His bass line :(

[@maulanawahid772]

and the sad moment of this yaaap in how bass line in count bassy outro :'(

[@bdawg317]

I’ve listened to DGD for years, since I was like 14 and I’m 20 now, never really got too familiar with the band so I just listened to their music. Over the years they’d become some of my favorites, still not very familiar with the band. Watching this knowing how much they’re hurting brought tears to my eyes. I can’t imagine how they feel right now, I hope I get to see them live sometime.

[@plex8501]

Truly hope this setlist, especially this, carries over to their tour with Coheed. I very badly want to hear the ending live

[@samdaman9214]

Such a beautiful performance

[@wormwormworm]

will is fucking killing it on the guitar here, man

[@TheGuitarist7000]

Ugh watching the crew members pat Andrew’s back during the bass outro is giving me that lump in my throat 😔

[@finalbossskeletor4922]

3:36 *DAAAAA DAAAA*

[@alicervantes3948]

Beautiful and tragic 💔

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

The lifes not fair part absolutely took me out emotionally.

[@matheusemmanuel5815]

I've been listening to dgd since early 2015. That year was very difficult for me cause I lost my best friend. We used to listen to instant gratification together. I feel their pain 🖤

[@PropProfit]

Rip 🙏

[@SonOfASpurs2023]

😭

[@T9C1PSayWha]

The pain is real and it is hard. But these fans, this band, they have true love for the art and it's creators. God bless Tim. Rest in peace.

2:37 right back into monstrous screams, mans a godddd

[@SevenAndA7Half7]

That was Andrew Wells doing the high vocals, not Jon, lol.

[@nurwanasulaiman7618]

Fuck my heart broke

Who’s covering the off vocals for tillian?

[@guilleferveg]

Andrew wells !

[@IbukiLazuli]

Fuck them for kicking out Tilian. Man showed extreme emotion in this, and their new singles are TRASH, bring him back

[@aaveron]
