This show was spring 2003. I was there (I was 19, I'm the guy with the horrible looking floppy hair in the yellow shirt rocking the fuck out at 4:40. I was cutting my own hair at the time ... maybe that's why girls didn't like me ... all the emo music I was listening to back then had convinced me otherwise, ha. Anyway ...). The Assistant opened and Penfold played two sets. A month or so before this was that Great White/club fire in Rhode Island where 100-or-so people died. Fire marshals were on high alert. Of course a few hundred people showed up for the show, a marshal showed up, the room's legal capacity was around 100 (which was interesting because the room was less than half full with 100 people), and Penfold decided to split the night into two sets. I was able to get into the first set and "sneak into" the second set. The band cried a lot, there were a lot of speeches (especially during the first set, ha, I think they really burned themselves out during the first set, there's audio of it on YT), and they completely killed it. One of the best nights of my life!

From time to time I come back here, to this very song and for some reason everytime I cry over this awesome performance. The vocals, guitars, everything just make me feel somewhere else, really really brings up every sadness I hide everyday and I feel like someone understand me. I feel like this song welcomes me and tells me that everything will be fine and that I am not alone with these feelings. Im 17, Im living my own teenage years, and this song speaks to my like speaked and will speak with every emo generation, and this is awesome. Penfold should be bigger at their time, or at least, should be remembered forever!! Edit: Almost 20 yo now One year ago someone I really loved died and this just... Changed every line of this song for me and I couldn't thank Penfold enough, I felt listen, like there was something that freed this feeling from inside of me and allow me to cry, allowed me to feel and allowed me to move on Honestly, this song will follow my entire life
I'm 17 too and I'm happy with you being here just a few days ago, I really love this piece although I'd like it to just stay in our memories as an elite song, this is not for everyone ★ have a good life mate :)
Apparently we are mostly all on the same page here, even all these years later. This was truly something special, it may be the context, the chemistry of the performance, the content of the song, or realistically a combination of all three of those things. The result is one of the (if not the) best performances I have seen, one where even just the video of it 15 years later can resonate with and move hundreds of different people in the same way. Especially if loneliness is what brought you here, or longing for something that is long gone, the same thing brought us all here together to experience an extremely emotional farewell from an obscure band. That's something I don't want to take for granted anymore.
I love this performance so much. Everyone singing along, the crowd bursting into chaos during the climax, screaming the lyrics, hugging each other and just enjoying the show. Not only that, but the band did a really good job for a live show. Literally sounds exactly like the album. And not even being bothered by bursting crowd. Truly an unforgettable show for anyone that went.
I've listened to Mineral, Texas is the Reason, Sunny Day Real Estate, Get Up Kids, any other major late 90's "emo" band; I've not listened to anything that has surpassed this. A song has never brought me to tears before, especially towards the ending when the crowd goes crazy. I got chills.
34 now and the last minute still gets me everytime a decade later. One of my biggest regrets will always be not getting to see bands I discovered in my 20s live because it was too late. Still go to as many shows as I can so if younger people ever ask me I can say "yeah I was there and it was just as awesome as you think it'd be"
So much emotion in the crowd, in the music... and the band dosn't even care... they just go along with it, rejoicing with the people... they had such a strong fanbase, loyal fans. Im glad they didn't get super popular. it ruins things.
This makes me sad about not having been a teenager during the late 90s/early 00s. I was just a little kid then. To think of all the amazing shows I missed out because of this... After the mid to late 00s the youth changed forever. Social media and smartphones just completely changed everything. The kind of youth you see in this video is gone and will never be back.
@@Frobbl I'm sad that you feel that way. I'll always have my youth, regardless of age. The memories, the friendships, the music, and the experiences will always live on in my mind and in my heart.
In the future people will look back to now, 2022, and say the same exact things. Shows and scenes like this still exist. Different bands & evolved sounds, but still similar feelings.
@@ilyfrankh I'm aware of that but the 90s and early 2000s still had one certain thing about them that is gone and will never be back or comparable in any way ever again: It was the last couple years before everyone started using the internet and social media. It was the last decade before smartphones. Smartphones, internet and social media changed the society forever and shifted the general atmosphere into something completely different. Internet becoming a mainstream thing was an absolute major change that you can't compare to the usual "it was different back then"-thing. The internet was a whole different level of change for our society. EVERYTHING changed in such a massive way within just one decade. To name just one of very very many changes: Personal meetups to keep up "contact" to each other suddenly became futile after they were 100% neccessary for human interaction for tens of thousands of years. The change was unreal.
i really really wish i could see this band live, growing up since 2003 i remember getting a burned copy of this CD from some emo kid (assuming emo because he was dressed in all black) at a laundromat this and a few other burned CDS i traded him for for some AA batteries from my gameboy for his walkman, honestly since then this music till this day shaped me into the person and the tastes i have till this day, honestly still on my top 10 playlist!
I'm wondering about the guys in the crowd just as well. I wish there was anyone from the crowd in the comments of this video describing what it was like to be there.
Who's still listening in 2024? Check in , it's not too late, to let everyone know you're still right here. 😊
I’m here. Still listening in 2024
I'm so jealous of everyone who got to experience that live
the ending was one of the best things ive ever seen in my life, and i've seen a lot

What was the name of the venue?

@@lawrencecocuzza I believe the M&M Hall.
first recording of a 90s emo band i’ve seen where it looks like the audience actually knows the band
Giving the mic for the audience to sing the last verse is legendary.
You know its good real emo when you cant not get a bit teary eyed.
im so happy that youtube exists...
The best emo song of all time. Chills man
It would be a dream to play a last show like this

Can't get bored of it

Still one of the best live performance videos on youtube

The Gloria Record - Tired And Uninspired.
Pianos Become The Teeth - houses we die in
not a dry eye for days.
I respect your nostalgia, but this doesn't come close to sunny day, Texas is the reason, mineral, or elliot.
Macleod Drury Sundays by Joie de Vivre also a solid goosebumber
love knife
they’re all better bands overall, but this song is just unsurpassed. sadly nothing else Penfold ever made really came even close to this.
one of the best live performances of any song ever
любовь - это возвращаться сюда снова и снова
I was there and think about it regularly
who's still listening in 2024?🖤
still 2021

Not me
You can almost feel the music going through the crowd, or maybe i am just high, either way what an amazing song.
9 years later. you're not high brotherman. this is what music is about.
время от времени возвращаюсь сюда и всегда трогает до слёз
пора снова вернуться

So jealous and happy for everyone who was here. I sadly can only dream about their reunion one day like it was with Mineral
I worked with Brian and Mike between '99 and '01 and visited their gigs around that time. Even have "Amateurs and Professionals" CDs! Good times! :D
Tim Rizvanov I am prepared to offer 1000 dollars for that cd
Best emo song of all time.
Absolutely beautiful song
Holy shit! This songs makes me feel 15 and 30 at the same time. Takes me everywhere. Thanks for the upload!
Might be the best live performance I've ever seen
OMG that last minute is bonkers. Chills for days.
2019 still best live performance of a song I have ever seen

Lol
I have goosebumps all over

This looks funner than any concert nowadays
😂😂😂😂😂
You don't get out much do you?
Maybe 😄 , but I definitely love how close the band is and how it's not so crowded .
its definitely nice not seeing any phones in the crowd!
because this is a punk show, not a concert, and they still look and feel exactly like this
Quite cliche but there’s no phone insight, just people enjoying being with friends and listening to some good music.
これぞEMO
This video brings me so much joy
I'm always coming back to it. It's to be cherished!
Category : *Autos & Vehicles*
I'm willing to pay a hundred bucks to go to this show.
I'd pay more than Taylor Swift's resale prices
I’d do anything to be in that crowd screaming
I always get goose-bumps listening to this song. So amazing!
I was here
😢
there's not a lot i wouldn't give to be able to be in that room.
the best live performance ever
