+luvmylab 2 I think it's because when they arranged this for live shows Kevin was usually putting his cello away, they probably just haven't changed it
I saw them in Austin last night. This tied with Kevin playing the cello and beatboxing for my favorite part of the show. Holy cow. I had goosebumps the entire time.
i love all of this and they did fantastic (although nothing can top their singapore performance last year) but i have to point out that after the video ends it looks like mitch is flipping everyone off omg
I have to say, I don't much like these sorts of choral pieces sung in a fairly poppy style, but they did do a fairly good job AND it got people in Bruckner which makes me very happy :) the comments under a choral version were all "ptx brought me here!" which would usually annoy me but I'm just glad people are getting into choral music haha
fair enough, to me it sounds sort of in between pop and choral but it may just be that i'm so used to hearing their voices in the context of pop music that i instinctively hear that in their voices whatever they're singing haha. but it's not how any of my choir conductors so far would want it sung. that's not a criticism, just personal taste you know
I wonder why I never see Mitch really get into the performance of the song like he did in Singapore? Not only was he singing his ass off there, but he was really performing it, with the little grins and then the serious looks after, the tilts of his head, every little hand and arm motion, and literally crawling on the floor, and covering his eyes and everything! Nothing else has all the drama of that... it just falls flat for me now. =( It's always good, but never great! I'm sure he's seen and heard of the reaction the fans had over his performance there. I can't imagine why he wouldn't go for something like that, or better, again since that's usually what they do... strive toward greater and greater heights!
He doesn't have to crawl on the floor... I just used that as one of many examples. But he was very careful when he did it the first time and he didn't fall off the stage then. Nor did he look close to doing so. Still, if the getting down on the floor part was worrisome, he could still do that part the way he does it now. But dulling all the other performance things, the gestures and faces... the theatrics that he put into it, those were more important to me than the floor crawling. That was just awe and neat icing to everything else!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it was probably the 2 or so Red Bulls he had before going on stage in the Singapore version that kicked his performance into high gear.
@@Anjalena I've read numerous mentions of him experiencing a bad case of jet lag, and he drank 2 or 3 Red Bulls before going on stage. By the time they got to that part of the performance, Mitch was no longer running on empty. Fortunately for us all, someone was able to record the performance on their phone. Many thanks to that person.
In the Christus factus est, I wonder who sings the very high obediens? Kristie whom I'm thinking, Mitch, or the two them combined. i have looked at alot of the videos of it.

lmao Kevin just awkwardly standing there at the beginning
+PureValLiam Wonder why he wasn't singing, Kevin has a fantastic voice!!

Christus Factus Est is an SATB (four part) choral piece :)
Most fans watch it for Mitch high notes but me enjoying the beginning most ❤️❤️❤️ I love it. And I love Avi.

I live in singapore and my best friend was there and she said she cried!
I'm going to go into cardiac arrest when I see them
Starting with Bruckner! Fantastic.

Esmé I haven't heard the original, but I don't hear the pop in this choral piece at all, it sounds very traditional until the transition into Aha.

maybe because he could fall off the stage

Think it's both
Kirstie sings the highest note there (Eb5) and Mitch sings the second highest (Bb4) :)
I WAS THEREEEE!!!!!!!!
3 days!!!!!
I like them, but they clearly don't understand what this motet is about.. It shouldn't be sung in that fashion I think...
