Desert Island silverchair

What's on your playlist?

01) Silverchair - 1. Intro + Emotion Sickness (Dusseldorf)
(Dusseldorf Apr 4, 1999) Daniel was such a mess when he did this concert, but gods, his voice!

02) Silverchair - Israel's Son (Live @ MuchMusic)
(MuchMusic-Toronto Feb 4, 1997) This is such a tight, clean version. Listen for the ecstatic 'Chris! Fuck!' from someone in the audience at the start - nice to see Chris properly appreciated for once.

03) Silverchair - Abuse Me (Live In Melbourne)
(Melbourne Aug 12, 1999) Daniel grew so much as a singer in between Freakshow and Neon Ballroom, and this version really shows it.

04) Silverchair - 1. Intro + Slave (The Palace)
(Melbourne Jan 28, 1997) The change in tempo at 3:52 kills me every time.

05) Silverchair - 6. Ana's Song (Rockpalast: Dusseldorf)
(Dusseldorf Apr 4, 1999) Have I raved about Daniel's voice enough yet?

06) Silverchair - 7. Suicidal Dream (Rockpalast: Dusseldorf)
(Dusseldorf Apr 4, 1999) The keyboards really add something to this song, particularly at the end when it gets frantic.

07) Silverchair - Cemetery Live @ Stockholm 1997
(Stockholm Waterfest Aug 13, 1997) You can find better sound and video quality - this is a fan recording - but the performance is just so raw and heartfelt. Listen for the break in his voice at 3:19-20.

08) Silverchair - Point of View (Live Melbourne 1999)
(Melbourne Aug 12, 1999) This is such a beautiful song, and even better live.

09) Silverchair - 8. Paint Pastel Princess (Rockpalast)
(Dusseldorf Apr 4, 1999)

10) Silverchair - Madman (Live Melbourne 1999)
(Melbourne Aug 12, 1999) Daniel is seriously off his chain here.

11) Silverchair - Tomorrow (Live on Electric Ballroom, 02.08.99)
(London Feb 8, 1999) Another fan recording that has fairly decent sound quality. I actually have an .mp3 for the solo version performed at Myrtle Beach, and it's better, but there's no video for it.

12) Silverchair-Miss You Love
This is one of the few songs for which I prefer the studio to the live version.

13) Silverchair - 6. The Door (Bizarre, 1997)
(Cologne Bizarrefest Aug 16, 1997) They had a lot of technical problems at this show, but Daniel's voice was really excellent.

14) Silverchair - 2. Pure Massacre (Bizarre, 1997)
(Cologne Bizarrefest Aug 16, 1997)

15) Silverchair - Freak (Live @ MuchMusic)
(MuchMusic-Toronto Feb 4, 1997)

16) Silverchair - Untitled "Godzilla Soundtrack"
Lovely fan video.

17) Silverchair - Anthem For The Year 2000
Another one I like better on the album than live.

18) Silverchair - 8. No Association (The Palace)
(Melbourne Jan 28, 1997) This is such a sharp version, musically.

19) Silverchair - 9. Lie To Me (The Palace)
(Melbourne Jan 28, 1997)

20) Silverchair - Pop Song For us Rejects (Stockholm)
(Stockholm Waterfest Aug 13, 1997) Again, it's a fan recording, but I really like Daniel's voice on this version.

21) Local H MOSH while SILVERCHAIR plays...
silverchair plays 'Minor Threat' in Atlanta on May 2, 1997. Local H run onto the stage. Chaos ensues. Unfortunately, it's hard to hear the vocals on this, but it's worth watching for a cute moment near the end when Scott Lucas joins Daniel on the mic.

22) Silverchair-Tomorrow Live at Much Music
(MuchMusic-Toronto Feb 4, 1997) Guh. Daniel's just amazing here. The guitar solo will kill you.
