Dashboard Confessional - The Places You Have Come To Fear...

[@Dynaty20]

This MTV unplugged performance is LEGENDARY for the behaviour of the crowd. The sole reason why DC was at MTV unplugged in the first place was because Chris was famous for the crowd knowing every song by heart. So don't ruin the epicness with stupid comments ^-^

[@justanotherrider]

Hands down this is the most in tune crowd ever... :D

[@BlueSiveradoLady]

Apparently the people complaining have never been to a Dashboard Confessional concert. Chris loves it when everyone sings along. He actually encourages it!

[@FelixDharma]

I can’t stand the overwhelming nostalgia I feel watching this. It’s too moving for me. I love it, tho.❤

[@arym1108]

I was a little buzzed a couple months ago and watched most of this unplugged with tears streaming down my face

[@danielsalisbury245]

At the turn of the millennium in America we couldn't afford therapy, so we bought tickets to Dashboard Confessional shows instead. I was lucky enough to see Chris playing solo before he got successful enough to pay other people to play as a backup band for what has always been a one-person musical operation. Those early shows I attended in little clubs and bars in the Midwest became psychologically cathartic gatherings for damaged young people who vibrated with the earnest, raw nerve feelings Chris was expressing. I have never before nor since those shows seen more single-ticket holders (nobody with partners nor friends) file into a venue to see live music. We all knew every lyric and every pause. Then this performance hit television and later was included on a DVD with the live album release. It's the closest any of us has to a documentation of those early solo shows before Chris got his sue from the music industry. Thank you to the person who uploaded this and keeps it available.

Always come back to this set every so often. The intimacy and warmth between the band and crowd makes this a really special live set to me. This will live on forever

[@pwngrl]

i think having the audience sing along makes the song just that much better i can't really explain, but the powerful lyrics are emphasized by the audience singing. it just goes with this song.

[@thinkers22]

There are so many of us out here who occupy the message this song delivers, so humane and authentic to reveal the depths of our lives.....much love to Dashboard Confessionals

[@Daggerfall40]

I won't comment whether this song was made better or worse because of the audience singing along but I'll just say one thing. There's a certain type of energy in a live show that just can't be captured in a studio and anybody who has ever been to one knows the feeling. You become a collective consciousness when you start singing along with the band. It's such an amazing feeling and just enhances the whole experience. If anything, this video manages to convey that feeling for just a tiny bit.

[@scottduncan2448]

Fuck it all

[@scottduncan2448]

Who fucking cares

[@scottduncan2448]

That’s all i got

[@Klaus666]

it makes me happy that the crowd is singing along. i love being at concerts and hearing everyone around me sing every single person around me singing the words too.

[@fernandalbauer]

Recently I choose stay apart from a person, who whom I loved really much. Every time I came here to hear this song, I think that the worst thing of breaking up is you still like songs that you used to hear while you was in this happy place.

[@roryrubymace3749]

Watching these make me almost tear up from nostalgia. I was 12 when these aired 🤣

[@killmeinnocent]

If the band doesn't care, which DC does not, then HELL YA!!! If your a true DC fan then you understand how this performance is the very definition of what makes DC so great.... :)

[@jerrod_e]

one of the girls is doing amazing at harmony, for real

[@CheekyMouseMous3]

Okay, this is 2018, and I used to listen to this song back in 2003 or 04 or whenever it came out and I was a little kid. And my childhood was so bad, maybe that's why I always liked these songs by dashboard when I was 6 or 8 or what ever, but now I'm going through a breakup with a former bf of 4 years and I suddenly want to listen to dashboard... And I feel like I was almost..always meant to listen to this song..

[@CheekyMouseMous3]

Now being almost 25 and having the job that i have now... i never had such a long relationship with anyone before.. And I can't even express to anyone how it feels to have someone wrapped around me every night for 4 years and suddenly they've left me, and I all of a sudden have to pretend at work and in front of everyone that I'm okay, just so I don't look like a patbeic piece of shit and like everything is okay, even though every day and every f*cking moment a piece of me is missing.. This song is honestly too on point

[@MrMickeyQ22]

I used to think I liked this song because it was about a sad girl. Now I realize that it was about myself all along.

[@zacharybruner765]

Facts. My favorite song from them and honestly one of my favorite songs ever

[@108120510]

was attracted to the band because how the fans would always sing with them :)

[@lilnesbomb]

almost every song on the cd "Places You've Come to Fear the Most" is either in Drop D or Db tuning. Not sure which this one is, but it sounds like drop d.

[@OhneWipkeinMiraklWip]

best song ever

[@RC_mentoring]

if you want to hear a band music then you listen to a cd. if you want to feel a bands music and the kind of emotions that people who share the same taste as you then go to a show. sing all the songs out of key, yell them at the top of your lungs from the bottom of your heart and feel your life melt away in the comic beauty that is music.

[@thesun04]

If u paid for the tickets you can sing all u want. I was singing loud with the best of them!

[@magicalreality]

Amazing.

[@benvtucker15]

Love it.

[@Laurenh5309]

[@ilovepink292]

[@MUSICismylover77]

[@TinyVessels23]

[@jacobtb1]

[@Laurenh5309]

I love this song I wish someone would do a lyric vid for it !

[@gcastelli80]

My God he is so hot and so talented.

[@Royy87]

omg hysterical screaming girl at the start.

[@ericaengdahl]

Fucking hell THE GOOSEBUMPS.

[@Asianzilla]

Nice

[@juno0890]

This is when MTV was all about the music... When it was about real shit and the true power of music... now its all about stupid fucking reality shows and fuck off dating game shows... theres 10% music now if even that... MTV needs to go back to the roots and bring back the MUSIC! Live up to its name of MUSIC TELEVISION! Fuck these stupid reality shows and people dating! BRING THE MUSIC BACK! BRING THE MUSIC BACK!

[@LuckyTV333]

Was muss das für ein Gefühl sein, wenn man ein selbst geschriebenes Lied performt und alle kennen das Lied auswendig und singen mit.

[@lfccardo]

anyone know the tuning for this song? and by anychance have a tab ?

[@NeuroCalamity]

Out of curiosity, how old is everyone? I'm 29 years old.

[@NeuroCalamity]

Just wondering because I don't think I'll ever grow out of this music. I'll be 45 listening to DC

[@BREAKENSTEIN]

just turned 30.

[@phiwwie]

+NeuroCalamity 30, lol fml

[@NeuroCalamity]

I'm coming up on 30! Rock on!

[@gutteralslugg8038]

+Jeff M 14 haha edgy teen

[@numbah12time]

Thats so true. It is quite pointless going if you wanna hear Chris. He plays and the audience sings. Pretty much audience karaoke.

[@boldbileg]

When did AJ McLean cover Dashboard Confessional?

[@nemesis6014]

Guy in the audience to the far left at 1:04 looks like he had an emotional breakdown.

[@moijam]

absolutley,man

[@minusthecynic]

i like the word epicness although most people i hear using it as epic fail i prefer epic successes when it comes to celebrating long live dashboard

[@allanrodriguez4547]

Man, what happened to the connection........

[@pezhood17]

pretty much all his songs are in E flat and this song is in E flat

[@atravelerofbothtimespace4172]

Chris looks alot like Rivers Cuomo back then . Just a great performance . ❤

[@speabody]

0:28 Chrissie Mayr sighting. Simp away!

[@Benzmusic]

if they didnt want the crowd involved they wouldnt have them mic'd up.

[@scottduncan2448]

Ii tried

[@SimonEberhard]

@nemesis6014 Dude that's exactly what I thought... Somebody get some smelling salt!

[@teraycijones]

haha! I'll never understand.

[@lcaptainlcapl]

dude, just shut up. its a live performance, what the hell do you want? the last time i checked, it was acceptable to sing at a performance. im sure he appreciates that people sing with im. i know that when i play live in front of any crowd over 50, its nice to have some support
