Oh goodness. That hurts.

Keep on making those intelligent statements like presuming that someone can just hold on to the ability to hit a falsetto for a whole tour and then gear it up only for a show they know is being recorded.

FURTHERMORE, every dmb show is recorded, by the band. How do you think they just churn out the LiveTracks?

Dave blows it because he's human and he's a human who's smoked a whole lot of cigarettes. If you hear perfection on a recording released by the band, it might be him having a good night, or it might be studio magic.

You calling me "a D-Bag" isn't going to help my notion of your intelligence, by the way.

Yea. I'm with SimsUK here... I've never heard of "saving up" for a falsetto, and if in the recordings it is altered by sound guys, I think it would be noticeably different... like "oh that just doesnt sound normal", which is not the case. You either can either hit or you can't... If he can hit it in Radio City, (which for the most part he did. Yes at the very end it sounded like he was trying either to go too high or breathed in improperly for that little stretch) but the beginning part of the chanting/moaning whatever you want to call it sounds incredible.

I think this is the case: He smoked and drinked lots of whiskey and with lots of touring it really reflected in 2005. He drops the smoking, and it becomes easier for him to hit them. Also, I think when it's just him and tim it's a "quieter" environment with just two acoustic guitars, no drums and bass and a whole band, so Dave doesn't have to sing as loud. If you are able to hit falsetto (i am and have tried this), you'll notice its a lot easier to do the less volume you sing with. The louder you sing, the less quality the falsetto is.

don't know why i thought of this thread and everything, maybe cause I was listening to this exact version of the song the other night, but in that 7:18-7:20 mark that someone mentioned... That is like exactly 2 seconds of singing that isn't good, but everything surrounding it is amazing. The start of it, through to the end is amazing I think... I almost cried the first time I heard that version of the song the first time, I'm not gonna lie, it got to me that much...

I dunno, I guess it's just opinion too though. Or maybe it's the fact that I'm more of an instrumental listener... as in when I listen i notice detail in the instrumentals more then the voice... Sort of like the voice is just there, but i'm more focused unconsciously with the instrumentals, if that makes sense? My friends have noticed I do this too, especially when we are listening to college bands/amateurs or something I will point out parts where it doesn't sound right or they messed up that they didn't catch, cause they were listening more to the singing
