All for one and one for all - team The Warning for the win!!!

[@don-music]

YES! That's teamwork in sibling magic style!

[@jayjason6289]

I think with UGH Dany is remembering the other 20 working versions of the song. "What was the final cut?"

[@don-music]

Yea probably it becomes a blur after all these years.... so many versions that went into the dust bin or into other songs LoL

[@terryminator4208]

Ale and Pau were constantly looking at each other and probably trying not to laugh.

[@don-music]

That's kinda what I Was thinking LoL

[@randymarple9830]

P&A laugh ALL the time...even during serious or sad songs. Something happens and you just can't stop laughing. Like when someone farts loudly during church, a chuckle turns into uncontrollable laughter.

[@don-music]

hahahha randy

[@pablosartor6715]

They are true gems!! There's no doubt that this is sibling magic! What awesome experience is to watch them live! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@don-music]

totally!!

[@Amaranthine1000]

That is a perfect example of that sibling magic they have talked about in interviews, each of them knows instantly what the others are thinking. It was great to hear them talk about it but to actually see it in action is just mesmerizing. They really are in sync.

[@don-music]

Yea this is one for the history books!

[@Kongte-a]

They can talk just by looking at each other.. sister power

[@don-music]

Sister power!!! Awesome!

[@alfredoramos8022]

Yes yes yes the warning

[@don-music]

Doing what makes them so unique - using sibling magic to perform something that's not part of their regular tour set!

[@carlosjuarez2309]

I was lucky to be there at the Filmore. An amazing show and standing there third row in front of Alejandra. It’s all about the bass…

[@don-music]

DAMN.... that must have been just awesome. I'm extremely jealous! Nice close up venue too

[@professorg9424]

I wonder how many people in the audience actually caught on to what was going on. Pau is always there for the save.

[@don-music]

yea specially live... unless you know them well or have a great line of sight to dany, it coudl easily get missed... sounded incredible!

[@scottlafleur4148]

There was someone in the comments of another The Warning video saying they were at this show. They saw Dany not singing and claimed it was a backing track. TWA set them straight. My point is people are not used to this. This is not normal. This is amazing.

[@don-music]

awesome point Scott.... Pau IS a backing track, living breathing

[@jayjason6289]

@@scottlafleur4148 Fact: The Warning is REAL

[@Captain_Kirk116]

Sibling magic must be a real thing cuz they communicate so well through nonverbal cues. Ugh was one of the songs they played at the show in Pittsburgh that I went to last year on the Mayday tour.

[@don-music]

awesome!!! I can't wait to see them live one day

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

That one song (single paper) turned out to be *XXI Century Blood.* Where they didn't play that song during their *Mayday 2022 tour.* Saw on their web site they're playing two shows in Canada Aug. One in Montreal & the other in Toronto.

[@don-music]

oh that's a great song to choose for the special one! Unfortunately, toronto/montreal are as far away from me as ny/ny is from seattle, so I won't be going to them this time. One day they will come down the west coast and hit Vancouver again, and I'll be there, hopefully with my son

[@reactionsaccount3955]

I just love Pau's use of cymbal accents in this song, plus she is super animated performing it.

[@don-music]

yes!! Me too... I caught myself air drumming to them LoL.... addictive! And she is SO good at using just the right amount of visual exaggeration live on stage to be seen and we all become kind of "taken" with her, which is so natural for her but also extremely well practiced to be just so perfect... most people just don't get how to perform visually in such a magnetic way.

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

This was the song on QOTMS that most reminded me of Rush circa Counterparts album. The main riff and aspects of the drum pattern.

[@don-music]

Yea they dabbled in rush in this album a few times for sure

[@LostHate]

I like the way Dany always looks just as eager to see what song is getting pulled as the rest of the crowd. Dany laughing at them making sure they rememberd it right then proceeded to forget her part. When you get to Hunter the May 12th Austin show happened almost exactly the same way. Only Pau didnt actually sing she just mouthed the words to Dany. Kinda like you were saying with Ale and Pau. None of them actually need to talk to talk to each other. Link to Austin show kzbin.info/www/bejne/gneZonybZ56Whtk

[@don-music]

oooh awesome!!! Thanks!!

[@elgonwilliams7624]

My bet is that the jar song thing was Dany's idea. It just seems like something she would come up with. She's a perpetual kid at heart, always looking for a way to make a game out of any situation. Just fits her personality, I think.

[@terryandrews7271]

These sisters are magic⚡️⚡️⚡️💙💙💙

[@don-music]

Totally… with magical super powers

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

The other songs in the jar were *Ugh, When I'm Alone, P.S.Y.C.H.O.T.I.C.* & I believe one other song. All of those songs were played during their *Mayday Tour* (headliner).

[@don-music]

When I'm alone too? great choices eh? I think I saw one with P.S.Y.... performed as a jar song... it seemed to come up more than once in cell videos.

[@awadoma2702]

14 pieces of paper with 6 songs total, Ugh 3x... When i'm alone 3x... psychotic 3x... Red hands 2x... Hunter 2x... xxi century blood 1x

[@don-music]

red hands... I knew there had to be one I wasn't thinking of.

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

@@don-music - Well yes. They had 14 or 15 shows were the jar song was picked. So of course they had multiple of each song for the audience to pick from. But Dany said that there's one piece of paper with the song they haven't played in awhile. That song was *XXI Century Blood.* Which the girls haven't played in a while. One reactor said that there's only one song in the jar & they practiced that song during soundchecks. One. That's ridiculous. And two their soundchecks are opened for a certain Patreon tier reward. *XXI Century Blood* was practiced many times before the tour started. As well as the other jar songs & *More.* They do *More* sometimes at soundchecks.

[@don-music]

oh yea that's totally ridiculous... playing it in sound check doesn't make it the only song... one thing we know about them is that they are extremely honest. Oh that's interesting that they do More sometimes at soundchecks... I guess just whatever song they feel like doing or want to run through the arrangement of, maybe. Or like you said, with VIPs there, could even be a song that was agreed upon before hand.

[@TimberWolf762]

Few bands can actually do this, but TW has three people who can sing lead.

[@don-music]

It’s awesome when Ale sings literally anything solo, even a bg vocal unaccompanied. and Dany looks over at her kind of in shocked pride and with complete confidence

[@oldmanyeni1663]

The jar song was such a fantastic idea. Almost every show, the crowd would point out one of the young fans (almost always young girl) near the front, and they would bring the jar over and let them pick the song out. That takes some serious guts to have the confidence to pull that off, or at least know that as a band you can pull it off together. And then to have the awareness to slip right in with the vocals. This is what makes many of us love The Warning. Their humanity, their realness, their humility, their adaptability. Such outstanding professionals. Things happen live. How you recover from that is what makes a performance special. Heck, The last four times I saw Rush, I could see that even Geddy had a lyrics teleprompter (I even found a misspelling in one of the tunes when I was in the front row).

[@don-music]

yea, if I ever return to live gigging as vocalist of a band again (I've been studio only for the past few years), I will likely need a teleprompter... but misspellings in a teleprompter? LoL that's awesome, specially with such an intellectual group!

[@oldmanyeni1663]

@@don-music It almost makes me wonder if the stage crew was doing it intentionally to see if Geddy caught it. BTW, the jar songs on this last US portion of the tour. 3x P.S.Y.C.H.O.T.I.C. 3x Ugh 3x When I'm Alone 2x Red Hands 2x Hunter 1x XXI Century Blood I got to see Hunter and When I'm Alone. They were great.

[@don-music]

oh wow! AWESOME details, thanks!

[@randymarple9830]

The only thing better would have been if DPA had autographed the slips pf paper the songs were written on.

[@don-music]

Yea totally, good idea

[@Mr.Sidenote]

Wow. First time I watched the full show, I didn't catch these things at all. What an incredibly seamless performance. I bet nobody in the audience noticed.

[@don-music]

Yea it’s so smoothly done!

[@darrylpaulsen8027]

Don that was very interesting and entertaining thankyou 🎉😊🇦🇺👏👏🤟

[@don-music]

cool, thank you!!! ROCK ON!

[@mjc1389]

Never seen this one before. That was both hilarious and amazing at the same time. It seems on this tour especially that Ale spends more time interacting with Pau with a foot up on her riser than other tours. I think sometimes Dany is the subject of their inside jokes. It seems all 3 can interchange between lead and backing vocals whenever required. It’s got to be hard to memorize the lyrics and musical parts to close to 50 songs for anyone. Both Dany and Pau forgot some lyrics during their acoustic show in Montreal and that kinda made that performance endearing.

[@don-music]

yea agreed completely!

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

I would imagine especially when you’re out of a previously rehearsed routine you might easily forget. I would!

[@booradley8895]

Dany also has a whole range of songs memorized going by her Dany day videos.

[@don-music]

Kevin totally me too

[@don-music]

Yea that’s scary but I’m learning fast that she has a huge repertoire!

[@lonelywind3511]

A 3-piece band where any of them can take the lead if they need to. There was a performance where Dani dropped her guitar pick and Pau took over. No one even noticed. Just thought they had planned it.

[@don-music]

seriously? that's amazing! No other group is like this... I mean there have been groups with multiple singers, but nobody where one singer would take over for another during the song on a whim when needed... even triumph weren't tossing their lead vocal parts between the 2 of them that sang lead when there was an issue, as far as I've ever seen. Cream never really had the chance to do that, because they weren't exactly a long lived touring group.... and again only 2 vocalists out of the 3 of them.

[@don-music]

oh, and Thank you (since I didn't say it before properly).

[@awadoma2702]

Any of them can take lead on a few songs and some parts of other songs but not all the songs.... there is a reason why you have only ever heard Ale sing 3 of the songs Dany sings and there is a reason why you have only heard Pau sing 2 complete songs that Dany sings and parts of 1 or 2 others. Dany voice has been in bad shape on a few shows especially when they were touring with 3DG and the only help she got was Ale took lead on one song and Pau helped on a few lines with another. If any of them could take lead if they wanted to then Dany should be able to take it easy when her voice is not 100%. If Ale's voice is not 100% no prob show goes on. If Pau's voice is not 100% no prob show goes on they just don't play the 1 or 2 songs Pau would normally sing. If Dany's voice is not 100% then show gets canceled unless Dany can power through and sing 80-90% of the songs she normally sings

[@don-music]

oh of course, Dany is the lead vocalist and the most powerhouse singer. But there's more to it than that. Singing and playing a song requires working out how to do so... I am quite certain that ale and pau can sing most of Dany's lead vocals, and very well too, but now while playing their instruments, unless they were well prepared to do so and worked it out for weeks themselves on their own first. The rhythmic coordination requires that kind of calculated preparation. I know for a fact that Ale used to practice lead on hunter and red hands pretty often before she ever was prepared to do them live with the band. Dany has the widest range of all 3 of course, and the biggest voice with the most passion in it, but most of the material could be sung very well with ale or pau on lead vocals. Just not something you can jump into without lots of preparation.

[@awadoma2702]

@@don-music I can sing all the Warning song and i'm not a singer, I would not get any positive reviews if I did it on stage... so yes I know Ale and Pau can sing all of The Warning songs... There is a reason that they don't when Dany is having voice problems and that is because they can't do them to a professional standard, their voices can't go where the song requires them to go. No amount of practice can help if you don't have the vocal range to hit the notes.. If they could with practice and do them well them i'm sure they would have already practiced around 10 songs that Dany sings that Ale and Pau can take over on those nights where Dany can't sing. Anyway the statement that was made was that "any of them can take lead when they need to" and that is just not true. my statement stands at any of them can take lead on some songs and parts of other song, but not all songs.

[@helgebrandt9062]

Thank you. Never noticed that all by seeing it the first time. Gread job.

Cool, glad you could have fun rewatching it with my observations.

Oh hey 99 comments, let’s make it 100! Thanks Don, always a pleasure watching your videos. This was fun, watching the interaction between the three of them! They have so much fun on stage, it’s contagious. 😂

[@dreamcruzer4743]

This was fun. I hadn't seen this one before. Well done.

[@don-music]

awesome!!! Glad we could enjoy it together!!

[@solarvanlife8177]

Pretty ballsy to play a song you might not have played in months! They love the challenge. I love how Ale's always thinking. She'll slide up to a note with whatever finger then swap fingers to get her hand into the proper scale position. These girls rock!......

[@don-music]

I love that about her playing also! Very systematic and analytical person i think, as well as very very quick thinking. And yea that song took guts!

[@christinaalgate4899]

This is what I think that Pau likes this rise because she can interact with her Sisters. Sibling Magic. It helps that Pau probably wrote this song.

[@don-music]

yea that makes sense.. .it's not so high that they can't communicate

[@christinaalgate4899]

@don-music I just voted for Pau. I really liked her Masterclass and especially the English subs. Maybe next time I'll put Abigail from Lilac on the new comer

[@don-music]

Yea I’m an Abi fan too. My fav in that band due to a combination of playing, visual performance, and kind awesome personality.

[@armandogarza6181]

Man, that was so much fun to watch, lol. I shouldn't be but I was amazed at the flawless transition, such professionalism. Although, they do have an advantage over most other bands, it works really well because DPA are even-keeled and that makes a big difference. Thanks again Don, I really enjoy watching your channel, sometimes it's a learning experience, cheers.

[@monicamansour3525]

Awesome Don. This was so much fun!! I had watched it before and was glad to watch it again. I agree on everything, you said it so well!! Good video. And yeah, this was so seemless, many don't realize just how amazing this is. This reminded me of the Whiskey 2020 (the second date)...very similar, this same song -like a "dèja vu" but that was at the very begining. And the one someone said in the comments when Dany dropped her pick...wow wow... now that's beyond impresive, like magic... no cues, no looks, nothing and yet totally seemles. But I don't remember where or when...not recent at all, back then when she used to have the picks on the amp.

[@don-music]

thank you!!!! totally seamless... and funny with all of their interactions :-) yea, incredible.... agreed totally with your second part too, and now I need to watch that to see it

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

To smile and not get rattled as each "surprise" comes up. Good seasoning though. Play a jar song where something like this is more likely to happen.

[@don-music]

takes guts, more guts than I would have, I think

[@morthnadic1]

Glad you enjoyed this Don! I was completely surprised when Pau (nearly seamlessly) jumped in for the rescue: both times! I'm sure half the crowd never even noticed. The audio didn't turn out as well at this show as it did at the other shows I've recorded of them. It was likely due to me sitting right in front of the line array FOH speakers; which caused the internal compression in my phone to kick in maximum. 🗣 Thank you for using my recording and posting the link to it in the description! 🤘🤓👍

[@don-music]

Awesome, thank you! This was brilliant! There are other recordings of this but your footage was easily the best, and audio is pretty good… Just pretend it’s on am radio which is super compressed and limited bandwidth lol

[@don-music]

Yes it’s so seamless, totally agree! Oh no, i haven’t seen that i think!

[@elgonwilliams7624]

They duplicated one line...but they covered each other pretty well. Everyone has a brain fart every now and then. If they are going to continue doing jar songs, they need teleprompters. LOL

Fair enough - I'm so bad with lyrics that I'd never notice... but the laughing between them all was so fun also... gotta love performers who don't think they are above laughing at themselves and then go on to melt faces with the rock!
