Switchfoot - Dare you to move (letterman)

[@RICO_FITNESS]

will always be grateful to have watched them live nearly 15+ years ago

[@antzsh]

Must’ve been epic

[@jimmoore8951]

It was and they've aged well

[@senorjiveturkee]

frontman's style completely defines early 2000's haha

[@drtodd0]

my guess is that there was a time slot that they had to fit the song in (like they have on most late night shows) that's why they took out the solo and salvation line. I'm pretty sure Letterman didn't tell them to take it out because it was religious.

[@jyfarber]

they didn't choose mainstream, mainstream chose them. i could care less. they are an amazing band.

[@skybird8471]

We love you Drew!! You are missed.

[@Skadoosh417]

I love the thing Tim does with his bass whenver they hit the chorus

[@ShinAsakura]

This is the first song I played when I started learning bass. I love them to bits!!! Switchfoot don't need to be mainstream, they're great enough to topple mainstreams!!!

[@weepingguitar23]

Other than skipping the "Salvation is here" (which is one of the most excellent parts of the song), you've gotta admit that this is an AMAZING performance of theirs!! :)

[@deeburns6]

One of my favorite bands and songs

[@hope997]

Oooh, Jon hasn't played with that guitar in a long time. I like it. And yeah, they did play that really fast.

[@supersport22]

Beatles, then Switchfoot.

[@karmaofgood]

they just really get into their music thats why they are a great band, this song=great

[@krisnotes1979]

This never gets old.

[@ClaraRiveraMyGoogle]

They're definitely sooooooooooooooooo good!!! I luv them!!!

[@asithasilva7068]

blessings switchfoot awsome

[@ephilbin]

that performance was magical... they're amazing live. now I know

[@inTWelligent]

yeah they're only allowed a certain amount of time on these talk shows, unfortunately, so they had to play it fast and cut out the "salvation is here" part.

[@LaCasaLopez]

I miss jon foreman this young.

[@A7xKajushA7x]

Yesterday they played show here in Slovakia...It was sooo amazing and awesome...Looking forward to the next show..... PS: Jon really looks like Kurt Cobain......:o)

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

I get the chills when he belts out "todaaaay never happened" ! Ugh! Wonderful!

[@Switchfeet360]

@aTreeIsaTree Dude, Switchfoot does acknowledge that. I've met the guys, and seen them play, and they do everything they do to praise God. And remember the part "salvation is here" wasn't added untill they came out with the second version of the song, and following it they added a guitar solo, which is also missing in this performance. My guess is that this the first version they're playing.

[@TurnRight4Jonas]

Love to see this version live! Thanks gentlemen!

[@DarkHawk139]

@flylikeagaysex if they have 3 guitars is because they know what they´re doing with the third one :P

[@Skullz930]

Damn they are amazing live!!! I don't care what you are Christian, atheist, or w/e. You have to give them credit. WOW!!!

[@arladanielle]

epic Switchfoot song.I never get tired of listening to this.

[@juliaCSL]

jons' voice is so steady on high notes

[@spiritnme7772]

Now 20 years now and it is 2024 and The Beautiful Letdown is being celebrated!

[@Haterfox2]

@aTreeIsaTree They have been asked to cut that part out on television performances, it also happened at the hard rock live performance so it wouldnt offend anyone.

[@ComfortablyPlump]

I

[@mikedankert9816]

Such a great performance of an iconic song. They should've never agreed to cut the "salvation is here" part out!! Just seeing this now. So upset. Don't let mainstream control you 😡

[@JoeyLevenson]

@loch150 awesome band, sound, and song! thx

[@nailaishak]

I rewatched a walk to remember just now and this song popped up, so here i am 🙂

[@giebabesevilla9425]

2022

[@alecschoeman1977]

This would be a great wedding song

[@rebekahfaith]

I LOVE THEM! jon is the best screamer. lol. and songwriter/singer. :)

[@msrlin]

"Salvation is here" is the best part :(

[@gavinfoote_Music_Surf]

Seriously that solo is awesome, and the words

[@purplegirl147]

they r so awesome live!

[@karenceciliano8413]

first song that got me hooked on them and I always get goose bumps at how beautiful the meaning of it is

[@racerbabee69]

they are beautiful

[@Heelincal12]

@Danz2003 after Jon sings "Where you gonna go, Where you gonna go?" he is supposed to sing a very high "Salvation is here." But he doesn't in this version because Letterman probably didn't want all the Christian-phobes to go nuts over it. Look up the music video for dare you to move and fast forward to 2:50 and listen to the end of the bridge. You'll see what I mean.

[@lilimacedo73]

esse é um homem cheio de Amor.

[@itsadamtruitt]

I love their live version on the seconmed verse and coures on this version

[@forrest225]

this is my favorite performance of this song I have found so far :)

[@RoyalMessup]

awesome vocals! i love this rendition

[@aaronrocket]

The extremely sad thing about it is that they say in the song: "I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor" obviously by leaving the salvation part of this song out they were not lifting themselves off the floor.

[@kimlin]

yeah i know there great performers but WOW this one is REALLY awesome.Great band

[@ambulanceromanse]

he's gorgeous.

[@kulindang]

i really really love his voice, wow! i could fall in love with him, hahaha

[@vhernie27tube]

K.M...LOVE PARIN KITA..

[@ErikaF-e9n]

Playing live on TV is day ting

[@klashinov1947]

This is amazing! I love these guys!

[@alarapyper]

there are so fantastic

[@g-anne6308]

💜 fave song.. great band

[@khwalt2]

ahh Lovely performance..The mix wasn't bad (for TV), and the dissonant guitar part @ 2:12 makes my toes curl!!

[@zer0puls3]

aahhhhhh.. memories....

[@Legionary215]

such a powerful voice...

[@ShimmieTimmie]

I love them!

[@AmeyaKhare]

Great live rendition of this song! :)

[@pillarbox]

yep,he is.. Jerome Earl Fontamillas a Filipino American musician. ROCK ON! \m/

[@diddykim]

dam sooooooooo rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@demurgetroid]

beautiful!

[@VISHMAN14]

they did. this is old news. they left theyre record label and created their own. hello hurricane was produced by the same guy who produced their first three albums.

[@hope997]

It's totally okay. We all make bad judgements sometimes.

[@MoreLikeMe929]

@MoreLikeMe929 also, jon has always said that their songs could work on two levels. one is the religious aspect of it and other times it could be a song simply about existence or love. switchfoot is great. and them being christian and not being afraid to share that makes me appreciate them even more. now, can we just all agree that they are amazing and appreciate the music?:)

[@casions]

this is Super Tight.

[@asherann1812]

this. is. amazing.

[@waddahabrash558]

the wiggles

[@Heelincal12]

@Danz2003 Yeah it's a double standard. To be honest tho, I was stoked that they got on Letterman's in the first place!

[@Saminatorger]

yeah, too true

[@akosironin]

It's all about the music.

[@Adventurewchrist]

From myself and the scars, I don’t know, how do I lift my self up off the floor

[@JamesBAMF85]

this is fuckin sick

[@WHEREtheFUNK]

they left off the most important piece but apparently the letterman crowd isnt ready for salvation

[@JakubBrych]

Yeah, it's great.... Well, about not playing the solo, I agree with those who say they had a time limit cause they even play faster, it's much faster than usual...

[@YouAreGoldenChild]

@DonTDodson I've heard they've done that other times as well. Dunno why

[@jcfractal]

its faster because There ROCKING IT!! that simple...

[@loch150]

@seifukusha If its what I think your refering to. Its actually on the keyboard/organ.

[@lochwork]

Actully, when they signed with Sony the big guys said that they couldn't say anything about God or Jesus on stage or in their music, so they had to work around that... but hey, now they've worked back to being independt and release one of their most spiritualy deep albums to date... not to mention all of Jon's solo stuff

[@supermar777gwapo]

DARE YOU TO MOVE ALL SON OF KING

[@ajfx]

shows like Leno have something like a 3 min limit therefore the band has to rearrange the song to come in under that time or get cut.

[@Andres-vd5pt]

Jarad I totally agree. Plus Jesus chose mainstream when he walked between the poor and sick. If we want everyone to be safe and closer to God we should go mainstream!!

[@JoeyLevenson]

1:38 what is that guitar effect? Its really cool. Boss PS3?

[@ddattyrom]

3:09-3:11 made me shiver a little bit.

[@elpeche01]

wow!! OMG amazing

[@Heelincal12]

.... and since letterman's show told them to censor it. ;) Trust me, he can hit that note live.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

JON IS SO FRIGGEN CUTE HERE!!! but -gasp- why did they leave out the "Salvation is here" part???

[@paulmoz36]

up offffaaa the floor i love!!!!

[@Jizreelas]

i missed "salvation is here"

[@DonTDodson]

At 2:50 they skip the key line in the song: "Salvation is here". Why?

[@LKaiMadison]

God's message has got to move to the mainstream. That's where you are!

[@geraldhartsgen]

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RECORDED VERSION AND LIVE? FUCK I CANT SEE ANY DIFFERENCE !!!!!!!!!!! rock for love , for peace GO SWITCHFOOT

[@HenryCasillas]

☮️

[@arladanielle]

i love it at 3:00

[@vitosupernova]

Que bien que suenan los muchachos! Pero por que tres guitarras?

[@ChasesJetsandRockets]

@DonTDodson I noticed that too :(

[@howag69]

is the drummer crying in the background at 3.14?

[@hope997]

Jon wasn't alowed to. They're not alowed to say anything religious on that channel, I'm pretty sure. And plus, they had a time limit, which also explains why they played so fast.

[@jgtvares]

This version is a lot faster, pretty good thou

[@WlknTlknStvnHwkn]

@EliAdelman I don't doubt what your saying at all. But there are also bands out there that have used the christian market just to get a record deal.They hid behind Christianity until they get noticed and all of a sudden, Christianity goes out the door and they want nothing to do with it. Perfect examples would be 12 stones, BlessTheFall, Chevelle, All That Remains and the most popular one...Creed.

[@johnmark777]

Yep Tubong Pinas yan
