What the hell is that drummer on🤣?

[@666tReaper]

You can hardy tell the difference between the live version and the studio version.

[@thomasyoung9663]

Like most silverchair songs I find the live versions so much better. Just all the cool little things they add to the song

[@MrZZsharka]

Daniel said they add things on purpose because otherwise you might as well just listen to the albums instead.

[@brieannabernier399]

Daniel is so gorgeous

it almost sounds like the recording 🤯

[@metalmadsen]

They are even better live. This is what was once called music kids. Something we had on the beforetime before autotune.

[@rotyler2177]

Not a single phone in the audience.

[@SublimeLyfeNow]

I got to hang out with him after this show and the camera guy kept coming back to me in the front row center stage crowd shots (I'm the tan girl with light brown/dark blonde hair in a ponytail wearing a white lace bra and a white Puka shell necklace about mid way through Ana's song) and right after they walked offstage a security guy for the band brought me an all access pass which for 18 year old me was easily the happiest moment of my life up until then lmfao you might say I had a TEENSY little crush on Daniel so I was up and over that chest high barricade in like 2 seconds haha! I'd post pics to prove it but it won't let me so the best I can do is post the timestamp for one of the many times the videographer kept filming me lol

[@SublimeLyfeNow]

Timestamp is 1:09 to 1:22 for one of the times cameraman filmed me, it was neat because all my friends and my mom/sister were totally psyched when they unexpectedly saw me on MTV lol

[@rotyler2177]

Cool bananas.

Wow, amazing. So very jealous. Silverchair 💜✨🎶

[@jules8159]

Gurllll I have ALWAYS wondered who that girl was ! You look happy and dug into the moment ! Good for you you’re very lucky, Ive noticed they always film either the pretty girls or the ‘feelin it’ guys. It is what is is 😬😆

[@Sweetnsourdumpling]

Wow the live version may be even better... they are so underrated. This song is so powerful and vulnerable

[@youtubkeeper]

Do you understand what "underrated" means? They achieved huge commercial success.

Please die Ana For as long as you're here we're not You make the sound of laughter And sharpened nails seem softer And I need you now somehow And I need you now somehow Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you Imagine pageant In my head the flesh seems thicker Sandpaper tears corrode the film And I need you now somehow And I need you now somehow Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you And you're my obsession I love you to the bones And Ana wrecks your life Like an Anorexia life Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you Open fire on the needs designed Oh, oh Open fire on my knees desires On my knees for you

Altcopperpot 05 put up the only video of silverchair full set at this show which he had come across the master film on ebay which was previously unreleased and had been in a record label employee 's basement for over 10 years! I was front row center stage for silverchair set and am in this video of that concert numerous times throughout the set which lead to them bringing me an all access pass after they walked offstage you can see one of those times at 1:09 to 1:20
