Silverchair - Emotion Sickness (Live Melbourne Park 1999)

The BEST performance of "Emotion Sickness" you will ever see! Live from Melbourne in the summer of 1999. Daniel MURDERS the guitar solo! Please rate video and/or leave comment and I'll keep uploading the BEST of Silverchair. Enjoi!

[@Geo_Babe]

This is my all time fave live performance, by anyone, ever. Just incredible vocal omg

[@MrZZsharka]

When I saw/heard them perform Emotion Sickness live in Sydney before this show I nearly fell over. (Didn’t expect this and Anna’s Song) after listening to their first 2 albums. Just imagine expecting them to play Slave (which I love but not on this level) but instead they opened with Emotion Sickness and then Anna’s Song. I think Slave was next.

[@MrZZsharka]

Loved it but I think this was even better kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4u2d5R8i51pm6csi=oRM5orzfDg-1DM-B

[@MrZZsharka]

What do you think of his vocals when he played it here ? kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4u2d5R8i51pm6csi=oRM5orzfDg-1DM-B

[@Ullish1989]

People forget not just how absolutely massive this band was but how fucking young they were.... how could the poor bastard not become unwell

[@therealjeffstein]

And that, kids, is a flawless piece of art, being flawlessly executed.

[@DanielleWhitlock-t5x]

While in the midst of being incredibly sick!

[@DanielleWhitlock-t5x]

I’m so glad to have these performances; I may quite literally cease to exist without them. But if we’re being honest, Dan didn’t need to be on any stage performing anything during this time. This tour was incredibly difficult on him.

[@untitledn.a.6376]

"best performance of emotion sickness" I agree.

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

I like how they played it here on Rock in Rio III

[@elvira-qc9or]

Gave me chills!

[@Scaley_Reptile]

This was thier best for several songs, def my fav concert of these guys still

[@KMouta]

@@nocturnallsnake4228 I only prefer the version of melbourne because of the '' GET UP "

[@MrZZsharka]

@@KMoutaI think you’ll also really like the Get Up at Wave Aid too after the Tsunami and earth quake in Bali, Thailand etc.

[@basak7659]

that "get up" part...

[@Swinginringo]

Agreed but for me it’s the guitars. He plays the shit out of this song. The whole performance is next level especially knowing what he was going through at the time. You can see him tweak his head and jaw a few times. For me, this is the best part. 2:24

[@MrZZsharka]

@@SwinginringoAfter that part the crowd who had never heard this song before realised this is next level!And listening to greatness!

[@Conada1002]

I’m still trying to “get up” It’s been over 24 years

[@jacksutton8878]

Biblical. Mate

[@MrZZsharka]

@@SwinginringoI remember when I saw them live on this tour in Sydney just before the album came out and they opened with this song. I nearly fell over in amazement! And they played Anna’s Song right after and then Slave. Good memories 😁

[@lachlanhiggs]

This is such incredibly clean playing for someone singing his heart out at the same time. What an absolute beast of a performance!

[@MrZZsharka]

And with TMJ (jaw issue) at the time

[@KitKatToeBeans]

@@MrZZsharkaI was thinking it was jaw related as well, & not a “tick” as others have thought. TMJ is awful.

[@DanielleWhitlock-t5x]

And with being sooooo incredibly sick at this time! I’m surprised he didn’t fall out at anytime during this tour from exhaustion & lack of food.

[@avedic]

Daniel is so obviously born to write and play music. He just emanates creativity....

[@ms.lisamurphy269]

How can you not get an enormous gulp in your throat watching this performance. He's pin thin,cheekbones that could cut through glass-the jaw tic that he seamlessly performed with- Had Daniel not been courageous with going public about the anorexia-I suppose his appearance and mannerisms if at all commented on would have been chalked up to drug dabbling-I mean,David Bowie seemingly embraced anorexia in his ziggy stardust days-(before the name anorexia even existed) As a former sufferer-I can say it's appeal isn't understood by many-but there is a sort of euphoria in the midst of the disease. That's why it's so deadly. Yes-I'm elated to see him in performances where he is clearly healthier and robust. But this heartbreaking one is so emotional and connecting. Brilliant brilliant soul.

[@MrZZsharka]

Andrew Murray He also had a type of Arthritis where he was bed ridden for over 6 months and received treatment for it in the U S.

[@rockerman8832]

@@MrZZsharka I think he got that after he was cured for anorexia or in the end of it, I may be wrong but I think

[@NateRoll-n1p]

Please Daniel Johns, come back with Silverchair...

[@zyriuz2]

Imagine at this point silver chair could have turned into a progressive legendary rock band! This song is so damn good its genius is so great it fairs well with legendary progression and buildup to that of pink floyds best songs.

[@jinxx3744]

Neon ball room did turn them into a great progressive rock band that will live on through time

[@linusfahlstrom8995]

2:45 that basedrum along with the pick up switch into a awesome guitar part. Cool as hell!

[@markg999]

I have yet to find a band that has a better live song with so much real emotion. Amazing

[@BarbarasUrates]

Bob Dylan watch?v=brNby5IFDnA... I'm going to assume you listen to popular songs played on the radio, and don't venture beyond what is served to you by shit radio stations to explore the blues or folk which is truly emotional in a transcendental and sublime way. If not I apologize in advance.

[@MrZZsharka]

Mark G check out the band Tool :) P S Daniel Johns was wearing a TOOL t shirt during the American version of the Tomorrow video clip. Was a big fan

[@MrZZsharka]

Tool “Push It” Alternative version. But just make sure you’re sitting down :)

[@mrtomboy97]

it's the little guitar riffs at 2:48 that Daniel plays that really make me shiver. So AWESOME

[@diolade2002]

I used to watch this concert over and over on VHS. This is my first time hearing and watching with quality earbuds. Shit still slaps.

[@lucasbarros8888]

One 18 year old boy can do this song ... so poetic and beautiful ...

[@deadroses19]

4:00 this is so real, it is just beyond words

[@glenplumlee4164]

This is my special corner of KZbin. There are scores of great Silverchair live performances but I’d say this one in Melbourne 99 is the stunner. Especially emotion sickness. My heart kind of just drops.....lisa

[@DanielleWhitlock-t5x]

Agreed! Point of View from this same show is top fucking tier!

[@SoundJester82]

One of my favorite bands of all time... amazing performance!

[@madeintyotpc7007]

thnx

[@masterchief00]

Oh god this brought me to tears!!! I would give ANYTHING to be able to see Silverchair live in the 90s!! They're soo brilliant

[@madeintyotpc7007]

taylor same man same

[@MrZZsharka]

Chuck Taylor Same here, saw them live in Australia 13 times and know all their lyrics as well :)

[@elemileTLDR]

Hearing this again after over 20 years. Better than ever. Fucking amazing.

[@BAsTi91tg]

i like his facial expressions and moves. When i look at him it feels like he is the only one on stage. There is no crawd, there is no lights, only Daniel and his music, his emotions. Briliant;)

[@MrZZsharka]

Anybody else written a Rock or Symphonic Rock song this good at 18/19 ?

[@DanielleWhitlock-t5x]

Pink Floyd weren’t much older.

[@reachpeach1969]

4:14 to 4:20 "won't you stop my pain?". It really kind of hurts to hear and see him singing that... Feels like I am feeling his pain in that moment, just so sincere...

[@MrZZsharka]

Can imagine! I’m obviously not even him and totally felt it when I sang this song 😳 It’s like it was bringing up my own shit to the surface unrelated to what he was going through, but I guess it was still emotion sickness

[@allthesame2me]

This by far the BEST version of emotion sickness ever!...i wish my mother woulda just flew me to australia to see this ...sure i was 11 but i missed the best concert ever!

[@supernova7848]

Gosh! Daniel must have been in so much pain. I always cry when I watch this performance

[@Stuffnay]

love his high pitched voice

[@Kronida]

MY GOSH!! I can't never get enough of this beautifully touching MASTERPIECE!!! 🖤 After so many years of not having heard this because it use to hurt so, SO much; now I can't get enough!!!

[@nicobeing]

This band live is freaking amazing. WOW

[@Hooligan71]

How can such a great music writer not want to perform live anymore? He has to be devastated, hes between doing something he loves, and something that almost killed him. Id be happy if Dan would reconsider giving life to the band again. Dont tour, dont perform live....just give us more brilliant music

[@realeyesrealisereallies6398]

I think it's pretty obvious now that has passed to see that unfortunately he wrote his best music when he wasn't well. Once he got better he completely changed

[@averageaustralian7488]

3:10 that guitar fill is so cool

[@memedank6316]

This version gives me chills

[@heavenwithin81]

I remember I recorded this on VHS and MY DAD RECORDED OVER IT!!! I used to watch this every night too.

[@FstratiosKampanis]

it is, without a doubt the best one of all times

[@B-Force]

Music as true art form,you can feel the emotions flying , singing, playing what you’re feelin’.Such a great artist.

fav silverchair song..fav performance..just EPIC..all I can say...Daniel is just genius when it comes to pouring emotions into songs..I cry when I hear this version..esp during the "get ups"...*tear* :/

[@BLueEyeButterfly]

he's legendary in my book.

[@catincatoland]

wow, after so many years still so powerfull... brings a lot of memories and really touches the soul (if there's any of it still left)

[@lachlanevans80]

+MrsStryer Timeless song in my opinion. After all these years, it still floors me. Great live performance. And personally, I think Neon Ballroom was Silverchair's magnum opus.

[@catincatoland]

+Lachlan Evans Could't agree more :) And actually, I'm listening to NB at the moment... This kind of music doesn't grow old. Cheers!

[@sunnasreysom2739]

I love my Aussie blood.

[@melissaforth5464]

Ignoring every indication that Daniel is off his chops , the jaw movement, the swaying, slightly more sweaty than required....it's brilliant....he could perform this in a paper bag under water and it would still be a masterpiece ❤️

[@glenmccormick1100]

So interesting that he has recently come out and said he has an anxiety disorder, when he goes out there and absolutely kills it on stage in this era

[@antoniaford5478]

Glen McCormick this was twenty years ago, dude.

[@vavacadoz]

As the other person stated, this was over twenty years ago, but he had also opened up about his anxiety problems in the early 2000's after the release of Diorama. It's not a new out of the blue cry for attention, these things can progress worse over the years. Just because someone has a disorder, doesn't mean they can't perform well. Most of the suffering is invisible, and it's the thoughts and ruminations that go on internally that create turmoil and discomfort. He killed it on stage in this era, while also battling with Anorexia and Depression. Though for obvious reasons it is visible he was suffering an ED, he performed magnificently, nonetheless.

[@Joemcncheese]

If I had to guess he was taking speed to get over his nervousness

[@Silvursmiles]

God damn I miss my band. This performance was incredible. Thank you for posting.

[@ramonesaudibert]

4:25 - it seems like he was holding himself under a lot o pain, just waiting to get that last scream out before collapsing. God, I love this man! *.*

[@garner1234]

def one of the best performances.

[@world-village]

this is the best live version of this song, ever!

[@lollycrops]

Can only watch daniel perform this song in this state, for some reason his today state and playing this song just doesn't appeal to me. But obviously his new album does appeal to me cause that is his current consciousness and it's most recent. Have you ever thought each chair album resembles a certain chapter of daniels life, Something he can reflect on. Talented man!

[@DanielleWhitlock-t5x]

He created Eras before Taylor Swift was born 😂

[@DanielleWhitlock-t5x]

Agreed about this being the only appealing state for this song. The whole album, really.

[@terryandrews5309]

Thanks for sharing mate 😊. Never seen it before

[@Barefoot67]

to me that's the coolest era of Silverchair, really amazing! Such great songs, such a great guitar player and singer and frontman, legendary almost

[@fabiopereira1178]

Essa música em 2001 no rock in rio celoko pesada.Essa versão é muito top tb mas ela .ais próxima do estúdio.E ele no rock in rio tava bem limitado e fez um showzaço ele é muito fora da curva acima da média! E respeito e admiro ele por ter optado pelo que sentia e não pela onda de apenas ser rock front man famoso e acumular dinheiro !

[@avedic]

In a way...yes. Faraway Stables is one of their best shows...that was when the band was at their apex, imo. But...while that performance of this song was technically the best in musical terms....this performance is so much more raw and well...emotional. It's the sort of song that really has to be performed from a brutally honest place for it to work. Dan was clearly raw and wounded at this time in his life...and the music echos that.

[@julieperez1879]

one of the few version that he sings "get up"

[@sabrinawendy1]

2019.....and STILL undefeated. 💯 Sidenote. I'm gonna start a GoFundMe for one more silverchair show. They say it can't be done....but I say it's hard to turn down twelve million dollars split three ways. Also....I mean....since this WAS my idea....I think it's only fair that....I'm guaranteed a ticket and get to create the 30 song setlist for the evening. Byyyyeeeeeee! 🖐😂

[@cwrichardson3]

Undefeated... I don't know about your statement. I think they fell off during half this album and the rest of their career.

[@PollyGammy]

Still fucking mind blowing to think of the immense talent. They were literal fetuses during the entirety of this band’s career. Unbelievable. From “Get up” on, this song vibrates my entire soul. I fucking love Silverchair.

[@user-rg7hk6hf7p]

If Daniel played live concerts on zoom by from his living room, I would literally pay to see that alone

[@GeoAce777]

Absolutely awesome!!

[@SammyGirl888]

I know they don’t even talk anymore and have their own issues but man, it would be so amazing for Silverchair to come Together one last time and perform “Emotion Sickness”. I’m not greedy- they don’t hAvE tO perform other songs 😂

[@xahvierduplooy8213]

I've listened to Silverchair since Frogstomp in the early 90's ... I love the heavy, grungy sound, but in my unprofessional opinion, Emotion Sickness is the best song these guys gave us ...

[@lilmoc29]

AMAZINGLY GENIUS!!!!!

[@ajnorum]

The Best Show of Silverchair I've Seem! On my 16 yers

[@Silvursmiles]

effing awesome. My favorite part is when he starts singing Get Up.

[@jaredwaters4633]

Best part of the song.. SO strong.

[@vavacadoz]

It at first sounds like he's calling to himself for help, then screaming "Won't you stop my pain" he not only sounds, but looks like he's crying in agony The emotion in this performance is beyond word for explanation

Thank you for so much happiness ❤️❤️❤️❤️✨☺️

[@JulioCesar-tf3fq]

po tinha um vhs desse show na época, mto bom ver de novo

[@ravenorkel]

@GGiblet You're actually absolutely right about that! Anyone who claims to be a true fan of this magnificent angelic then-boy should know what state he was in at the time, any true fan would NEVER post such hurtful, nasty and uneducated comments! This video is a very definition of true beauty inside and out

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

In my view their best song. I know people change but I just think the stuff he does now is a joke. This song is about something really meaningful.

[@BiffyC]

My favourite as well.

[@ms.lisamurphy269]

MsYogaGrrrl true people change-but it not that he is growing older-it's thar his persona is polar opposite from his youth. (Honestly,he's still a young man-so maybe it's a phase) Along with being a prodigal genius -it was the humble,soft spoken and otherworldly beauty that made him so mesmerizing. His songs were clearly autobiographical-and also connected him to fans on a spiritual level. He was pure and honest. So now he wants to desecrate that image? Trying to sing a sex song while trying to look sexy by writhing around all grease up in a sandstorm? He brings to mind that awful one hit wonder Robin Thicke. That's not a compliment. It's a disappointment. The handful of interviews I've seen of him recently were awkward to watch. He was adamant that he's the happiest he's.ever been. But there's a lost look in his eyes. Could be depression creeping up again, untreated-or worse self medicated. Of course I'm just a faceless commenter speculating about someone I feel that I know-but of course I don't. Be well Daniel. Your gift was to expose your vulnerability through art and made so many people happy.

[@vladlr]

Daniel is a great guitar player

[@marsh8190]

2:32 to 3:17 - Pure GOOSEBUMPS! It still blows my mind that Johns came up with such amazing music at only 19 years of age. Frogstomp and Freakshow were good. But Neon Ballroom is where Silverchair truly blossomed and defined a unique style of their own. After Diorama it's definitely their best album! They'll always be my favourite band!

[@shahn78]

Ahh, that hits the spot...

[@Jostipi]

Its funny. when you look at this concert the lead singer is stil a teen, a child i you will, but when you look at the performance of this song at the Faraway Stables in 2003 you see some kind of ripped demigod on stage. This guy went through an awesome transformation!

[@nickbusch7860]

+Jostipi Ya its called puberty

[@X3N0BU55Y]

+Nick Busch He had already gone through puberty by then. That and he had anorexia problems around the time of Neon Ballroom that he had since gotten over.

[@dawsonboys-kerekes5746]

Yeah he was incredibly ill in ‘99

[@PollyGammy]

He’s hot as fuck like this era. You ever see the video for Ana’s Song? Literally the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. He got weird after the age of 21, and now he’s unrecognizable.

[@vavacadoz]

@@PollyGammy It's not normal to be attracted to a starved and malnourished body. He was always attractive, still is great for his age, but calling his anorexic state--where he had come close to death--his most attractive, is incredibly off. I hope you recognise that.
