@@withmygoodeyeclosedyeah this was a few years before his addiction. This concert is probably Travis at his prime. Loved him singing for the doors too, sounds just like Jim
Travis has actually played privately several times with Jerry Cantrell and Mike Starr of AIC - Mike contacted me a few years back interested in playing bass for DOTN!
R.I.P. to all of the 90s grunge legends. What an era of music that we got to witness. I was born in 1990 and didnt get to truly witness the brilliance of these bands live but the entire 90s grunge scene lives on inside me.
@@stevenmcshane2164 Yes. What could have been. He could have done so much more but instead decided to be a criminal and let himself fade into obscurity. It has nothing to do with being there or not being there, that's just how it is and it's the sad reality of a lot of one/two hit wonders from the 90s rock scene.
+Fendera he was 17 here and turned 18 2 months later its incredible that he was just a kid his voice still developing i have a 1995 recording of him when he was doing heavy metal at 15 and his vocals were insane. I wish i could post it .
Fendera May be i'll post it soon check out my page i have several live songs of travis posted most are just soundboard audio but the best quality of Travis Meeks on youtube.
This maybe one of the last authentic rock songs of the 90s that took everything that happened from earlier in the decade and went an extra step with it, it's a mix of grunge and the unplugged rock of the mid-90s... a style that nobody has since taken up and run with, so it still sounds fresh even though this was over 20 years ago now and the core framework even older.. it's like the last gasp of a world going down...
I loved the way Travis Meeks was able to use an accoustic guitar to make metal. I have songs from their first album on many of my playlists. I'm sure there are many of us who would love to see a reunion tour and album.
Ha that's me and my friends refer to them as acoustic metal. 🤘 I think I overplayed the first one, but I honestly go back to it and it still feels fresh to me. The 2nd album nudges out as tops for me, but I love all three.
@@lilyofthevalley5586 He's using mainly Taylor guitars. Not sure of the model here exactly. Its probably out of production. But he used a lot of Taylor cutaways and Dreadnoughts.
The energy on that stage is amazing. You can feel the raw emotion in every single note. The jam that they seemed to hit from 4:57 until the end of the song was just mind shattering. Absolutely incredible. Heaviest acoustic concert I've ever seen.
Travis. Was barely 18 here obviously already in there prime before his addictions took over Sadly this band hit it very big when they were such young guys and the money literally flew out the window and down the toilet
Todd and Travis's voices blend so well. Todd has a chilling voice and some incredible chops and ability to display both (study early tantric) This is special stuff.
I saw him and thought he looked like the guy in Tantric. Trying to find their songs in the past was heck and meant typing more that "Tantric songs"....I was like, no, the BAND not xxx.
Been coming back to this particular upload time and time again for like 10 or more years😂 Favorite part is from 4:05 onwards. Thats ROCK N GODDAMN ROLL
No joke, this is one of the best individual performances I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, the band sounds incredible, but Travis was on a whole different level for this performance. Energy wise this is as perfect as a live performance gets. You can tell he had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand...
Days of the New is an American alternative rock band from Louisville, Kentucky, formed in 1995.[1] The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Travis Meeks and a variety of supporting musicians. They are best known for the hit singles "Touch, Peel and Stand", "The Down Town", "Shelf in the Room", and "Enemy".
I am writing this from Türkiye w tears in my eyes. Wish they could rule the world, such a shame that it didn't go well. Still listenin, and loves from İstanbul ❤️ Fall 2024
1998...it looks like it was a couple days ago .... time flies. Good stuff back in the day and even better now. These guys are so underrated yet so talented.
I’m 22 years old and I played some days of the new at a college party for everyone on the tv and they disrespected it !anyways best decade of music ever love of all of Meeks stuff he’s up there with Layne and cobain and in my opinion wish you the best Travis hope you are living in peace brother we all love ya ❤️
@Jessica I say this with all the love and jealousy in the world- you suck Jessica!!!! Wish I lived in the U.S.- you guys were so lucky in the 90’s as far as being able to see so many different and kickass bands without it costing a fortune! In Australia you’ve gotta wait forever for bands to come here and we’re so spread out that it almost always ends up being a 3-4 day drive across the country to see an awesome band!!
Right on! I saw them in '98 in Portland, Or... also with Metallica and Cantrell. At the time, I didn't really care about DOTN and pretty much looked past them...after all, I was there to see Cantrell and Metallica......But then I experienced these guys! when they tool the stage = mind thoroughly blown! They were the best part of that entire show that night and arguably one the BEST live shows that I have EVER seen since.
Saw them in concert in 98,and contour with them were Godsmack , Fuel and Collective Soul. Fantastic concert too! Love his voice so talented. I bought this CD and the one with Enemy but it didn't receive good comments by the critic's I thought well I fkn love it Too bad andad meth got the best of him
YES!! I saw the same concert too in Pensacola and it was a bad ass concert too! I pay$50 for two tickets the best $50 I ever spent. I have both CDs too. I thought the second one was good it was very different from the first one
I found days of the new through a video about drugs in my 10th grade health class. It was only a 10 clip of the touch peel and stand music video, but i remembered it the whole day because i needed to hear more. Here I find myself, 9 years later, with this time on my hands, waitin for my own fix
@@KingEdwardMMVIII wow that was quite a time travel. I think it's been 4/5 years clean now. Still stuck on methadone but a functioning part of society nonetheless! Farther and happier then I ever thought was possible. Thank you for your message !
i love the way he does his own lengthy jam, so easily and effectively, on the song, you dont see that anymore...reminds you bit of zeppelin on their boots. today the music is too structured with the formula of verse chorus verse bridge
Adam Stephens yeah he was only 17 or 18 in this video. Last album was in 2001. The drugs started hard around 2003. He was on the show "intervention" in 2005 I beleive.
True drugs stole the voices of a generation;Layne,Cobaine,Cornell Mark Loudegan,& Travis, songs left unwritten,sung,felt ; R.I.p. young men gone way to soon,thank you for sharing Ty our tenets with us
You know it rocks when they’re stage diving and the band is playing acoustic instruments.
It is Seattle after all.
So true
@@corlenwilschire Grunge City!
It's an electric acoustic its not the same it has a more aggressive sound.
Nobody has a smartphone so there was time for other activities
Breaks my heart. This band was destined to become Legend. Drugs suck the song right outta ya. Travis, you had it All.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Yep. Drugs have got a lot of em!
Ask Rick James, "Cocaine is a hell of a drug."
Or maybe at the same time it helped make these songs.
@@PhantomPanic yeah your right but it’s not worth death
Man, this is just a VICIOUS version of this song. I love it.
The first time I heard this version I was like hoooly fuck
That's what happens when you hit the Meth Pipe!!!
@@TheAlmightyClipse He looks pretty buff here, he just looks young here and really into it, I think the really bad addiction came later.

Just because you've only heard two songs doesn't mean he had only two hits. He has lasted longer than the likes of any in the 27 club
What could’ve been? He’s not dead. They broke up in 2014 lmao
@@murf1mikejr Pretty sure he's in jail. He's been arrested several times
The fact he was so young doing this shit is insane to me. Debuting live on television at the age of 17 on the David Letterman show is crazy.
probably contributed to a lot of problems in the long run though.
Same with silverchair
I'm from Australia and Silverchair sucks compared to DOTN.
@@TheAlmightyClipse silverchair wrote way more music
@@TheAlmightyClipse "Silverchair sucks compared to DOTN". Good luck with that statement among most people that know them both well enough.

Great vocals. I like this much better than the studio version. He's hitting some higher notes live and it goes well with the song.
This is one of the best live performances on the entirety of youtube. Blows your goddamn face off every time.
Agree 100%
Gotta Agree 👍
Glad to have found it for sure!
God these guys were soooo good!!! They played for a younger generation that might have not appreciated the true talent there.
No one deserves to be this gifted of a musician so young. He was destined to fall. This industry chews up almost everyone.
It was his undoing that fucked him up he was on meth at 15, but yeah the industry definitely fucks people and addiction does too
The energy on that stage is amazing. You can feel the raw emotion in every single note. The jam that they seemed to hit from 4:57 until the end of the song was just mind shattering. Absolutely incredible. Heaviest acoustic concert I've ever seen.
you should check out pearl jam unplugged, thats also an amazing acoustic concert
Yeah Ryan. They were/are a bands band!! Most people really can't appreciate how bomb they truly are unless you are a musician!
I was not there. Damn. I most certainly envy your shattered mind good time with the dreadnought boys of low register.
Yup! I cant even google if this guy is dead or alive it’s too sad!
4:05 to 4:20
Brilliant. They were teenagers when they wrote these songs man! Such an underrated band! Travis Meeks is amazing.
5:45 Anybody else get rocked when he said "motherfucker" near the end? That was sick, bro.
Travis. Was barely 18 here obviously already in there prime before his addictions took over Sadly this band hit it very big when they were such young guys and the money literally flew out the window and down the toilet
Something to be said about good leadership

fuck yes the 90s were epic!!
What a mind blowing performance!
Travis' voice is badass, love this song.
Dang I grew up listening to this kind of music. It used to feel like it was just yesterday. But today for the first time it seems like ages ago 😮😢
We old now, doc. Soon we will just be dust in the wind.
These guys were unique in their own way and their music was on a different level.
This man/band just gives me instant CHILLS up my spine.
OMG this is a wonderful song! ❤️
90s bands perform their music great live. That's one things most bands these days can't do.
One of the best songs ever! Meeks was fkn insane, what a talented player. I remember when this song come out I was blowing away. FK yeah it's dope!
this song never gets old to me
I love how they all solo no one in this band is left out of the popularity!!
This is so badass it sears my soul. These guys are all supreme and Travis is just brutal. Can't stop rewinding to the 4 seconds at 3:09.
That guitar solo was so good
Damn this is good! These days there is nothing this good anymore.
musuc took a nosedive after the 90s
Touch, peel,bStand was my first Days song. I heard the song almost every night, driving home from work!
Best version of this song I've ever heard. Miss music like this ❤❤❤

Look up AIC live at the Moore. Similar energy and also phenomenal.
Saw them 1999 wild duck, eugene oregon. Acoustic gold.
This guy is really amazing. One of the best. I am so sorry for him. Addiction is shit man....
Definitely one of the most punch you in the face songs of my teenage years
Freaking love this band. Travis come back to us! 😭❤️
The Todd and Travis combo was just incredible. So good
definitely a song in my top 10
