The Story So Far performing at Royale in Boston, MA on March 12, 2012, courtesy of alexislegend.com SETLIST: States And Minds Roam Quicksand Swords And Pens Daughters Closure Mt. Diablo 680 South High Regard
It's crazy that I saw these dudes in Cincinnati in July 2011 and there were maybe 10-15 kids singing along at a tiny show in some garage looking place. And now they blew up. They deserve it!
I see them every time they come to Boston, they always play an awesome set. Each one has something about it that sets it apart. Boston, I'm proud to call you my home. Best crowds out there.
I saw them last night in Nottingham and they were fantastic. Their stage presence was at a good level, they performed all their songs flawlessly and Parker interacted with the crowd. I don't know what everyone is whining about.
im a musician, and as far as playing live. stage presence is key. if youre just standing there no one is going to feel you. espically when youre on the road. you dont want people out of state to describe you as "yeah they were good but they got boring" you NEED to make sure you connect with the crowd.
Did you see the shots of the crowd? They looked pretty amped. I bet you've also never played a show that crowded with people jumping on stage and being in your face. It gives them room to run around and stage dive and stuff. I can imagine they'd wanna be by Parker anyway and Parker does just fine. I'd stand off to the side too if I played guitar for them, and that stage is small. But what do I know, I'm just a drummer.
I don't go to shows to be entertained by banter between songs, I come for the music. Maybe that's why this band is so successful and why people kill to see them live.
I agree they do need to move around more, the only excuse they really have is the fact that their guitars are plugged in directly to the amps, they're not using wireless pick ups so if you jump around to much you risk unplugging your guitar, especially when you have tons of people running on the stage, having all those chords gets messy, people trip over them, etc etc
Obviously they don't need to jump around to get the crowds attention, the music does all the talking. I respect a band like this, one that's not dressed to impress, they play music with heart because it's what they love to do. They aren't there to put on an act. That to me is what music is all about.
Yeah if you went to a gig and didn't know much about them, and the lead singers repping Brand New's darkest, most musically obscure album, you know they're not just some generic scene band ... and you fucking love it.
I'm a musician as well. but also an avid show goer. some bands can make that connection with the crowd simply with what you're saying, tssf. others you can feel a connection simply with the beat or the sound. i feel that mostly in hardcore like incendiary, bitter end, backtrack. the chariot got to me simply cuz they're so crazy live. theres bands out there that can do all three. hundredth is my best example. sure stage presence is key but the connection cant be made with presence or words alone.
i appreciate when people actually realize how we get down...we all grew up with an amazing underground hardcore/metal/pop punk scene and i witnessed most of it. we all love our local scene but understand what story so far is doing.this band took pop punk to were i sub consciously have always thought it should be... every state should take pride in the crowd performance. out of respect for the band
Nah, it is. It's just been so frequently misused because it's often a little bit challenging to discern what is screamo and what isn't, or people are just too lazy to look up what it actually is and attribute it to anything that has "screaming" in it.
it could be that they don't really play big stuff like this, glamour kills was one of the biggest tours they've done in some of the biggest places they've played. It's a totally different experience
Personally, after going to their gig where I live (Perth, Australia), I think they perform excellent live. I don't think they lack in stage presence or anything, Parker was constantly moving around the stage, as was everyone else. Again, Parker constantly interacted with the audience more than he needed to and I know for a fact he and the rest of the band had a good chat to some people before and after the gig. Half the people commenting probably have never even seen them play live. Shut up.
Everyone is complaining about how they looked bored. They aren't, their songs take precise timing. And lately their shows have been more energized off stage and on.
Whatever they're doing, it works. This band less than a year before this show occurred played to literally a few people and look at it even then. This band will be huge in the years to come, despite whatever they do on stage. Seems to be Parker's role with stage presence anyway xD
Opinions... everybody has one. but you don't need to be stupid. About playing live, you need to be true about it. If you feel like jumping, jump... if you feel like standind still, do it. The important thing is to have fun and enjoy playing or listening to music.
The band doesn't even have to move and the crowd is off the chain

crazy how angsty and angry he used to sound.. At least hes still screaming a bit in No Pressure

They did so amazing at this show! The crowd was so into it, wish I could go back to this day
I see them every time they come to Boston, they always play an awesome set. Each one has something about it that sets it apart. Boston, I'm proud to call you my home. Best crowds out there.
"Security's doing nothing!"
"This is awesome!"
That crowd makes me happy :)
I am not lying about this, I seriously got chills from watching this.
Parker with a Brand New tshirt. How perfect!
Uhhhhhhhhhh
@@andrewnathan2903 this didn't aged well
hands down the best performance by a band on youtube.
real
How did I miss this awesome band, am late to the game becoming a fan in 2015....
I became a fan in 2019 😭😭😭😭
@@andrewnathan2903 just saw then live at Sad Summer fest in NYC. You’re coming in at a good time!
This is my favourite video on TH-cam. Seriously.
I love how the security isn't stopping, but helping people on the stage :D
so. much. crowd. surfing.
so. much
I saw them last night in Nottingham and they were fantastic.
Their stage presence was at a good level, they performed all their songs flawlessly and Parker interacted with the crowd. I don't know what everyone is whining about.
I keep coming back to this video.
Is nobody going to say anything about how spot on his vocals are? Best live singer for this kind of music i've probably ever heard.
Great energy from the band and the crowd as well. I love it!
I CAN'T WAIT TOO SEE THEM LIVE IN DECEMBER!!
This makes me want to move to Boston.

Good job on taking one of the top comments and rewording it.

I like how the barrier gets knocked over right away haha.
The stage dive at 18:25 was epic. Perfectly timed
this is the greatest crowd i've ever seen
literally just pointed real hard and screamed "fuck an apology im not sorry for anything" at my screen without even giving it a second thought
I want to see these live sooooo bad!
love that parker cannon is wearing a brand new shirt.
I NEED TO SEE THEM LIVE.
They have awesome stage presence! Go see them live.

I saw them in a stageless show in Las Vegas...... Easily the greatest concert I've ever been to.
golden. Thank you for posting this :)
A fill in for that tour.
lead singer wearing Brand New shirt, automatic respect gained.
I don't wanna bash on other cities by saying this, but I was here, and fans in Boston know how to have a killer time.
wish i was there. they need to tour around more.
energy gives me chills
Killin' it with the Brand New tee.
i can't wait too see them !!
one of my favorite tssf vids
God I really really was hoping for them to be on Warped Tour this year!!!
When the crowd yelled "watch the sun rise over mt. diable" I got chills
The Story so far é viciante....
banda incrível ♡
i would never watch a live set for any other band but there so jizztastic i cant not
im a musician, and as far as playing live. stage presence is key. if youre just standing there no one is going to feel you. espically when youre on the road. you dont want people out of state to describe you as "yeah they were good but they got boring" you NEED to make sure you connect with the crowd.
if i saw any of them walking down the street i would never think they were in a rock band.
They don't need stage presence because their music speaks for itself.
Did you see the shots of the crowd? They looked pretty amped. I bet you've also never played a show that crowded with people jumping on stage and being in your face. It gives them room to run around and stage dive and stuff. I can imagine they'd wanna be by Parker anyway and Parker does just fine.

Extremely well said
i want to attend a show like his one before i die
cant wait to see then in december with new found glory, its going to be sooo sick!!!!
Yeah if you went to a gig and didn't know much about them, and the lead singers repping Brand New's darkest, most musically obscure album, you know they're not just some generic scene band ... and you fucking love it.
At 12:36 and 14:26 Parker's just like "Dude... Get the fuck off the stage already." Hahahah
At 17:50 "this is for all the hardcore kids" YES! Perfect. I'm glad they played that as an interlude.
I'm a musician as well. but also an avid show goer. some bands can make that connection with the crowd simply with what you're saying, tssf. others you can feel a connection simply with the beat or the sound. i feel that mostly in hardcore like incendiary, bitter end, backtrack. the chariot got to me simply cuz they're so crazy live. theres bands out there that can do all three. hundredth is my best example. sure stage presence is key but the connection cant be made with presence or words alone.
Now that is what I call a fucking show!
at 1:52 , "this is awesome." stole the words right out of my mouth
they made a great album. I watch all the other bands from this show, TSSF had the best show, they rocked hard
Roam. But listen to both States And Minds and Roam together. OMG
I really need friends to go to this kind of gigs with
those dudes that took all those stage divers are fucking troopers.
"I'm falling in and out again".
Chills.
On a scale of 1 to Snoop Dogg, how high do you think they are?
this makes me want to go and buy a vans warped tour ticket.
Parker, Soupy from The Wonder Years, and Matt from A Loss for Words are all fucking amazing live.
I think the best thing about the video is that the lead singer is wearing a Brand New shirt
i appreciate when people actually realize how we get down...we all grew up with an amazing underground hardcore/metal/pop punk scene and i witnessed most of it. we all love our local scene but understand what story so far is doing.this band took pop punk to were i sub consciously have always thought it should be... every state should take pride in the crowd performance. out of respect for the band
abunch of great pop punk bands come out of mass. like transit a loss for words and four year strong explains the awesome crowd
TSSF FUCKING KILLING IT !!!!!!! Massive inspiration for me
I was so psyched when I noticed that haha
Nah, it is. It's just been so frequently misused because it's often a little bit challenging to discern what is screamo and what isn't, or people are just too lazy to look up what it actually is and attribute it to anything that has "screaming" in it.
this is a defenition of a real pop punk show. amazing.
Where's this playin at yo umass Dartmouth?
Probably the coolest security I've ever seen, not giving a fuck about stage divers
gonna see them next month at chain w/ stickup kid and seahaven cant wait!
1:51 This is AWESOME! - I totally agree.
They to get more hype when they perform when every kid is singing along.
To the kid tying his show that was fast ass fuck... good job.
Wooaaaahhhhhh no way!!!! Dude thats crazy!!!
11:25 One of the best songs in this video.
it could be that they don't really play big stuff like this, glamour kills was one of the biggest tours they've done in some of the biggest places they've played. It's a totally different experience

Got proven right here, they are now touring with blink of all bands, so sick.
best live show, so fucking good
Perfect.
It's crazy--Parker doesn't even have to sing, haha.
Opinions... everybody has one. but you don't need to be stupid. About playing live, you need to be true about it. If you feel like jumping, jump... if you feel like standind still, do it. The important thing is to have fun and enjoy playing or listening to music.
Parker doesn't even need to be there. The crowd can do his job for him haha.
You're right, but the crowd in this video is clearly feeling them haha
THIS IS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
parker's wearing a 'Brand New' shirt, i love when my favorite bands have the same taste as me so much.
