This is absolutely incredible. I have waited YEARS for some more footage from the Good Mourning era to surface... Thank you for making it happen!!! Question for you Derek... Is that your own drumkit in this video? It looks like a DW kit to me. I'm fairly certain that you owned at least a couple C&C kits by this point. Had you not bothered to bring one of them overseas yet? Just wondering if you could describe your outside-North-America drum setup a little bit from this era!!! Thanks again, and I hope you are doing well! PS. The Boring Pointless Video channel is also amazing. Such funny descriptions for the videos.
@harryparsons9843 I believe that is my first C&C kit that was matte black. It's still in storage in the UK, I'm trying to figure out how to get it shipped back to the states. That was probably the first time we shipped gear over to use in Europe, prior to that it would have been rental gear - DW kit most likely - 22" kick at the time (I think?) 12 and 16 inch toms, I would have flown with a snare and possibly cymbals. No in-ears back then, so no sort of backing-tracks for songs like We've Had Enough. I must have had a pad that triggered sounds from the rack mounted synth that you can see on the ground to my right - can't recall what brand/model it was right now.
@@DerekGrantMusic Thanks for clarifying! I noticed that little trigger pad next to your floor tom. It's neat seeing the early days of ushering in the electronic elements to the band. It was a simpler time! Or actually, maybe it was more complicated? Haha. Your matte black C&C kit is my all-time fav kit of yours, as featured on the David Letterman performance of All On Black. If you can get a cheaper deal on getting it shipped to Canada, then you are certainly welcomed to store it at my place, free of charge... 😅
Awesomeness. Takes me back to when I saw the band that fall in NYC. Love that transition from “Last Caress” into “Emma”. Definitely my favorite era of Trio.
So fucking cool. I was at the Leeds fest. The crowd screaming organ donor to an album track off the new album showing how many people were there for trio. Love it.
Amazing to see this footage Derek! Had no idea you did that much vocals back then, like the higher harmony in Emma, awesome! If you've got any footage from the Crimson era, like live footage then It would be awesome to see! You'll always be one of my favourite drummers!
@KarlstadDrums Matt was having issues with his voice around the time we made Good Mourning so I was doing a lot more vocally to help out back then. If you watch footage from the Occult Roots tour I was singing a lot of the high parts on the early songs, it was a lot to do and I was happy when his voice got back to normal.
@@DerekGrantMusic Awesome to get a reply from you, thats cool to hear that you stepped up and just nailed the vocal parts. Yeah I totally understand that it was a lot to sing those higher parts while playing. Not like you have the easiest drum parts so must have been challenging.
Wow this is great, saw them for the first time at Leeds festival the same weekend. This takes me back, can’t believe it’s 21 years ago. Think I remember Lagwagon headling the Lock up tent. The lock up tent was the best thing abaout reading and Leeds over the years
@EricMerrow Thanks! I sang lead and played drums for my first band, so I had to learn how to do things like control pitch and vibrato with my torso moving around. I sang some featured/lead parts with The Suicide Machines as well but found that there's nothing really distinct about my voice - no character to make it stand out or make it instantly recognizable like Matt or Dan's. However, it blends well with both of their voices so I ended up doing a lot of backing vocals and harmony parts for the Trio.
@@DerekGrantMusic im not sure if id agree with your “no character” assessment- but i understand what you’re saying. I think your type of voice is a huge advantage to have in a band. Anyway, thanks so much for all the amazing music and sick drum chops
@@sethgauby8730 Thanks, buddy! No click, we weren’t quite at the point where backing tracks (strings, keys, etc.) seemed appropriate, so I was just using a pad to trigger a few samples here and there. Everything changed when we made Crimson and I got a little production happy in the studio!
I agree, a click track solves a lot of logistic problems, but it's not worth a damn if the musicians don't have chemistry on a deeper level. I actually enjoy playing to a click, both in the studio and on stage - I don't find it hard to play around it and push and pull the tempo when necessary to let the song breathe and feel natural. When I'm having a particularly good show, I'll go into a meditative "flow" state where time seems fluid and I can do things in the spaces between beats (it feels like bullet time in the Matrix films) - sometimes when that happens I'll hear the click track as part of the song and adjust my playing as if it's a percussion instrument! more syncopation, sparse hi-hat patterns, etc. Super fun and cool.
Awesome! I know this might be a reach since it wasn’t played much live, but do you have any footage of While You’re Waiting live? I’ve always loved that song
@MHDU42 We played it quite a bit on the 2006 Occult Roots Tour so I'm sure the footage exists - I have close to a hundred video masters that need to be transferred. Here's decent-quality audio from the Atlanta show of the tour: bit.ly/wywatl06 and check out the isolated drum video I posted a few years back, there's part of an alternate take at the end.
@@DerekGrantMusicWow thanks so much! I’ve been looking for a while but it seems like a lot of UA-cam live vids are either really early 2000s or recent, not too many mid 2000s concerts out there. Keep Em Coming! 😂
you said a little while back you were considering a 20th Anniversary Good Mourning release. Obviously that never came to pass, but what would have been included in your hypothetical 20th Anniversary Good Mourning release?
@el.sant0 The album would have been remastered and a second disc of newly remixed demos would have been added, and possibly one or two of the outtakes from the recording session which would have been instrumental - there were two demo sessions - one in a proper studio very early-on that i think is super interesting and the ones we recorded ourselves at the practice space which were leaked but the remixes i did a few years ago sound insanely good! I'll post one or two at some point. And footage like this and the We've Had Enough rough cuts that I posted recently would have been used to promote the release.
@rathard8033 This was a secondary camera that probably had to cover multiple stages - sets overlapped, so I think they would film the first half of a set then run to the next stage in time for another band to start. I have most, if not all, of the set from a FOH camera that I'll edit and post at some point.
Always loved the leaked? audio bootleg of this set so it's great to have a video companion now. Question... "While You're Waiting" is one of my fav Trio songs and unfortunately I never got to see it live albeit seeing you guys a bunch from 2010 and on (believe y'all played it on the Occult Roots tour?). No sweat it not, but if you have any live footage of that one, I'd love to see it (can't find any online). I do love the isolated drum track you posted a while back.
What a fucking time capsule wow
I love the tone of Matts voice in this era
very 'Dear You' Jawbreaker
Ooooh coming in HOT with those first chords

This is EPIC!! saw you at reading two years later on th crimson tour. I now want part two of this!!
Btw, im not over you leaving trio yet!
There is so much energy in this live. Love it so much!
Alkaline Trio is HUGE in Indonesia..
God, fantaaaaastic backups from the kit, Derek!
Just awesome! So classy, seemingly effortless drumming! Loved that era! And what came next.. call me a fan. Thanks for upload, Derek!!
i was there!

I was in the Leeds crowd that weekend. Screamed myself hoarse. Amazing.

The Leeds fest ‘03 show was my first time seeing these boys (I’m 37 now)
Thrice were so good too!
I'm in that crowd somewhere. 21 years, bloody hell ...
Lots of love from Istanbul!
Most creative drummer in the scene. Miss seeing you play! You the best and made these songs so much more. Much love!
Just shot out of a barrel. The whole set absolutely rips!!!
Totally dig Last Caress thrown in there!
Love this so much!!! I was at a few shows that tour.
So killer! Miss ya out there man! Blessings to you bro
Thank you Derek for this video! I love Good Mourning songs! more!!!!
Damn this is awesome!!!
Ps. Your vocals sound so good in this performance. The fact that you can be that technical at drums while singing is super impressive 🤘🤘

What a power.. 😳🔥👍
Sounds really cool and clear.❤
This is Awesome we definitely need more of this! thanks for uploading ♥️
Now this is the stuff we have been longing for! Thanks for uploading!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
This is the BEST version of the band
That's a big crowd! Also it looks like you're performing in a circus tent and I'm jealous 😄.
@fierce_circus It felt like we were playing in a circus tent and we were the clowns
@@DerekGrantMusic No comment 😄.
Never knew you used to do the backup vocals on Emma. Awesome!
🖤
we love you derek
No in-ear monitors at the time? Ears buzzing after that loud and incredible set I might think. Thanks for this archive footage, Derek!
Fuck me! That version of Emma!
Derek you are the goat
You guys are sound tight great work!
No click track during this time?
@@sethgauby8730 Thanks, buddy! No click, we weren’t quite at the point where backing tracks (strings, keys, etc.) seemed appropriate, so I was just using a pad to trigger a few samples here and there. Everything changed when we made Crimson and I got a little production happy in the studio!
@DerekGrantMusic it's fun watching a band that is just on and in total sync with each other
I agree, a click track solves a lot of logistic problems, but it's not worth a damn if the musicians don't have chemistry on a deeper level. I actually enjoy playing to a click, both in the studio and on stage - I don't find it hard to play around it and push and pull the tempo when necessary to let the song breathe and feel natural.

This is really amazing, what happened to the later half of the footage btw?
