I found a series of videos of Alkaline Trio preforming on a rooftop a few years (I want to say around 2011-2013 sort of time) There was a bunch of fairy lights, small crowd and Matt had a green jacket on a bright bleach blonde hair. Does anyone remember these? I've looked since on the Youtubes and can't find them  If anyone has them or knows where i can find them, please hook a brother up!

Yeah, I remember them pretty well. Skiba wearing a weird wine color jacket. I think they're still out there. I'll try to find them.

I clearly remember those videos too, I think they were filmed when My Shame Is True came out. I tried to look them up on youtube but it looks like they've been removed.

TONS OF REVERB on this one

And I totally forgot about the MySpace transmission performances. That was really good too. "Over and Out" rendition is so good, and "Emma", and "Love Love Kiss Kiss"... Oh, and just for the record, those were down tuned performances.

^the myspace trans were always pretty good. Say Anythings were too.

So did Dan have a huge lisp for a long time?

[Ghost]

Still has it.

[_Kyle_]

Maybe it's gotten better as when I saw him last week it wasn't as pronounced. I can't believe I hadn't noticed it before.

[Ghost]

Hm... now that you say it, it's possible.

Him and Matt Pryor were really funny together. They pretended at one point to be in therapy since Matt brought his daughter along on tour and was treating him like a youngin' too. So Matt was Dan's step dad and "didn't understand" him and didn't like him dating his mom and acting extremely angsty. So they fake argued between their songs and it was cute. Also Dan was frightened by this really enthusiastic, possibly drunk, fan who kept shouting between songs. I think he called him a maniac.

She Lied To The FBI chorus is so similar to Parking Lot, these pop-punk blueprints make me cringe

[Blurryface]

Forgotten how much I love 'My Shame is True' - Some stunning songs hidden in there, I can't stop listening to 'One Last Dance'. There will be so many fresh, new eyes on Alkaline Trio when their next record drops, I hope they get the main-stream success they deserve!!

that version of She Lied To The FBI sounds like it could have been a Damned song haha, and that Crawl performance just reinforces why its one of my fave alk3 tracks. That chorus, love it!

Crawl is so good.  I don't even like Dan's voice at all but that song is damn near perfect.

Indeed. Some serious groovy bass on that song.

A few months ago Derek started to post some little goodies from Alkaline Trio on his own YouTube channel. In this particular video, you can see some drumming for Agony & Irony. Even some pieces of Skiba drumming.

Just found a video of their recent performance. They just look happy to play again together.

Is it just me or do they sound more upbeat? I guess it would make sense, considering that Matt is the happiest he has been for a long time.
