Tom singing in his normal voice is majestic... i have to fly to england everytime i want to see ava play and its worth every penny to watch something as magical as this
Fuck, I was at this concert.... This was the best concert I've ever been to... I was in to every single band there, and it just blew me away how much music can affect you. Not even after smoking the dankest dank can anything compare to the feeling I had that night.
Back when AVA released this documentary, my buddy and I went to the screening in San Diego, and he saw me in one of the crowd shots and screamed @ the screening "DUDE THAT'S YOU!" Pretty crazy and I didn't believe him until the DVD came out, but lo and behold... We were right up front for this show, and I'm the tall guy in the white t-shirt singing along from 3:30-3:34 when Tom holds the mic out to the crowd for the call and response bridge. Pretty Epic if you ask me... Fucking the Gift man...
I totally agree with Tom. The music being produced today is nothing what it was about a decade ago. It's all sloppy and sounds like it was all computer made. It's not real music. I honestly wish there would be more bands like Angels & Airwaves. And I really wish AVA would bring back their old sound from their first two albums. Those are honestly some of the best albums I've heard. I still think the 90s and early 2000s had the best music of any era.
It's only worse now. But at least there's some punk or pop punk hitting the mainstream again. I go to skate parks and young punks are playing shitty mumble rap. Bring back the 80s and 90s
tom's saying all at the usa tour 09 ''i'm tom,i'm gonna be playing a show and i'm gonna be awesome and i'm singing out of key and playing out of time cause that's what i do'' and that is the reason i like tom delonge
This song was performed completely live during the concert. For the DVD 'Start The Machine' the songs used were edited. So yes this video has computer corrected vocals. Tom was never a perfect singer and I respect however he chooses to perform these songs they're great nontheless. And 90% of the music you hear today have enhanced vocals.
The reason he's singing off key is he's trying to preserve his voice. Especially when he does a whole bunch of shows. It sounds like it's so strained so its probably at the end of the tour of he's sick
@XxSpRiTeZzxX It isn't autotune, it's more a sort of vocal enhancer or something like that, he would sound like a robot if he was on auto tune and he does hit the odd bum note
So tell me what's wrong if someone use a autotune or whatever effect on vocals do you call it , its like you had a gibson , good sound but you can't use your pedal effect , tell me where's wrong
The thing that for me, confirmed that Tom DeLonge is a genuine musician is this part 4:27 onwards Now that is coming from his heart; that cannot be acted. All the criticisms of his lack of vocal confidence/skill and lyrical ability in Blink and AVA are diminished
If you watch all the Angels and Airwaves in studio stuff Tom STILL dresses like he did from 1999-2003. But now live he doesn't? I think that's just stupid.
theres no autotune...his voice sounds good but its all over the place and he switches up the vocal note arrangements too many times for it to be autotuned.
@zito75fan75 Look, I'll be the first to defend AVA saying they sound a million times better in person than on a bootlegged TH-cam video, but bootlegs don't manipulate Tom's voice to make him miss a million notes, and that's what he did in the video I watched, and most videos I've watched, and all three times I've seen him in concert.
Tom singing in his normal voice is majestic... i have to fly to england everytime i want to see ava play and its worth every penny to watch something as magical as this
Davids echoed riff, goosebumps, the whole song, wow, thank you guys for being part of our lives for nearly a decade!
This song is like boom boom in your head... And it's fucking cool!
Fuck, I was at this concert.... This was the best concert I've ever been to... I was in to every single band there, and it just blew me away how much music can affect you. Not even after smoking the dankest dank can anything compare to the feeling I had that night.
this is the kind of feeling all music should give you... «AvA» for life
I was at this show and I remember the cameras. Always wondered what it was being taped for. Now I see. Cool.
Me too man! This band change my life to the better! I wouldn't be here if there weren't for these guys

That's awesome. Epic show! Where in SD was this? Outdoor venue?
Also you look a bit like Dave Kennedy! Brothers?
That's so cool! :D
Tom's little dance warms my heart
My favourite song by AVA :)
best performence ever of the Gift on youtube so far .
"Fuckin' The Gift man..... I like... Love playing that song " hahaaa
I really love Tom's dancing!
even the song will be 300:00 min.long i can't get enough of this spacey sound
Literally my favourite song and performance ever. I would have this as my wedding march if it fit lol
The most epic song ever. It gives me chills.
Pure awesomeness... The Gift just makes you feel unbelievable... And this performance is the best I've ever seen Tom
This is the best angels and airwaves performance I've ever seen I wish they always sounded like this it's amazing!
Such a Beautiful song. Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. I love how Tom says "It's for you" instead of the regular chorus.
i fell in love with this band thanks to this song...still remains my favourite
L}VE AVA. They inspire me so much. And when I feel like giving up, AVA gives me the strenght to keep going.
this song is an angels collision !!!! so amazing vibes....
The fucking Gift man ...
right? its actually decent too... the rest are soooo bad.
Lewis Saunders it's unfortunately enhanced for the movie
PURE MAGIC...
all bassists are so underated. the bass in this so creative
This is from the Start the Machine DVD, all of his vocals are pitch corrected like crazy.
by far one of my most go to party songs
I love those effects on Tom's Voice! Sounds so raaaad!
This is a really special song.
whatta show! can't believe its been so long
This song is too AMAZING!!
One of their best songs.
Unbelievably beautiful song
I love this performance, Tom sounds good. Such a creative powerful song.
the all look as high as the sky in this video, expecially tom, but they are one of my favourite bands :)
In love with this song!!
They sounded amazing this tour
tom has so much energy here, amazing performace! AVA!!
the gift my favorit song
MAY THE WORLD WE KNOW DISAPPEAR!
this sounds great...they need to tune him for every live performance.
+Dylan Burton182 I love tom, but his real voice can be brutal live...genuine or not. Nothing wrong with tuning him up live.
WOW first line of it too haha....palm to forehead
thanks
I want to sing that to the world.
chills.. everytime(: AVA for life
epic song
i listen this song on and on
C'est tout ce que j'aime!
aww i love how much david says he likes this song
I love this song
I love them!!
Toms amazing. Hes my hero.
This song is epic
when he sings "disappear" at 3:06, goosebumps. jesus christ.
you're so right
Sir I completely agree with you and tommy delonge
the early days of AVA like in 2006, he sang the songs pretty well
i like love playing that song.
it's fuckin doom doom in my head...
it's no1 in the soundtrack of my life!!!!
i LOVE it ;)
I love all of the albums so much but I agree. Just some of the songs, such as The Gift, are just un-matchable.
exelente
I like well playing that song
its such a unique drum beat its fuckin radd
Wish Tom could sing like this every concert
I totally agree with Tom. The music being produced today is nothing what it was about a decade ago. It's all sloppy and sounds like it was all computer made. It's not real music. I honestly wish there would be more bands like Angels & Airwaves. And I really wish AVA would bring back their old sound from their first two albums.

love pt 2 was there best album imo
I've done a guitar cover of this live version, using the same guitar... Minus David's chatting😁
Great cover, and awesome guitars!
I wish AvA stayed the way they were here when Tom had really long hair.
0:20-0:27
sooooo true. the gift is on ballance my favourite song :)
waiting for tom in italy!!!
NEVER ENOUGH by TOM DELONGE nom nom nom nommmmyyyyyyyy
The fuckin gift man
tom's saying all at the usa tour 09
''i'm tom,i'm gonna be playing a show and i'm gonna be awesome and i'm singing out of key and playing out of time cause that's what i do''
and that is the reason i like tom delonge
I miss this goofy, awkward, and incredibly inspirational Tom.
Tom's dance *thumbs up*
This song was performed completely live during the concert. For the DVD 'Start The Machine' the songs used were edited. So yes this video has computer corrected vocals. Tom was never a perfect singer and I respect however he chooses to perform these songs they're great nontheless. And 90% of the music you hear today have enhanced vocals.
his dance at 1.07 :D
where did tom get those moves? lol awesome performance
The reason he's singing off key is he's trying to preserve his voice. Especially when he does a whole bunch of shows. It sounds like it's so strained so its probably at the end of the tour of he's sick
Nah, he's just doped out of his mind.
@XxSpRiTeZzxX It isn't autotune, it's more a sort of vocal enhancer or something like that, he would sound like a robot if he was on auto tune and he does hit the odd bum note
@shadowjinx agreed, but dude there is no autotune. he doesnt need it
4:35 looks so similar to the 2002 tom
the sound 0:01 sound great
@zito75fan75 Doesn't mean the video isn't auto tuned. I've watched a bootleg version of this entire show, and Tom didn't sound this good in it.
@dylrocker360 - Nothing can destroy Angels & Airwaves dude
i actually miss ryan sinn after watching 2006 live shows, such a good bassist, but oh well, matt is a good bassist also.
@champ1114 you're crazy.. have you had a listen to the new album!?
Nope, his voice is actually fuckin epic live man! go see em live.
does anyone know Atom's sort of drum sound (tuning) here?, is there some way I can make my set sound like this?
So tell me what's wrong if someone use a autotune or whatever effect on vocals do you call it , its like you had a gibson , good sound but you can't use your pedal effect , tell me where's wrong
The thing that for me, confirmed that Tom DeLonge is a genuine musician is this part
4:27 onwards

@kerouacsbeat FUck yes!!!
0:55 fucking the bass man
theres no autotune...his voice sounds good but its all over the place and he switches up the vocal note arrangements too many times for it to be autotuned.
Back when AVA was fuckin legit. now its just not the same and never will be
@zito75fan75 Look, I'll be the first to defend AVA saying they sound a million times better in person than on a bootlegged TH-cam video, but bootlegs don't manipulate Tom's voice to make him miss a million notes, and that's what he did in the video I watched, and most videos I've watched, and all three times I've seen him in concert.
Why doesn't tom sing like this in his recent shows. So much better than him mumbling his words.
shut up ken i want listen this song live complete
Kalaf Thok who is Ken? Lol
@xXxbrunswic51xXx He has not got a guitar that's why :) I like it also
i miss adam ):
