About 15 years ago, I was sitting at home with some random concert channel on and these guys start playing. I had never heard of them, and was fascinated that they PACKED Madison Square Garden and EVERY one knew every word to every song. Then I fell down the Dispatch rabbit hole and have loved them ever since.

If you like their music look up State Radio, main singer and guitarist is Chadwick Stokes the lead singing of Dispatch. Same energy and vibe a little bit more gritty on some songs but, they stopped releasing music under the name but they have some great albums.

@@jamelinjones4489 I love that, I remember the first time I heard them, I was at a friend's college dorm years ago and he started playing The General and I fell in love with the song and the band. I still sing The General almost every morning to myself while I'm in the shower. Cheers again!

Recently went to a couple of their concerts locally, both of them everyone was singing along, happy, drunk and never missed a beat. They bring people together no matter who you are. I have never seen an entire stadium let alone 2 back to back with such unity and it was truly impressive. This is why they are my favorite band, Chadwick will not be matched.

I honestly prefer this time of percussion on this song. Especially for this version of it. It's softer and and more subtle, along with the rest of this recording.

It's not the most seamless way, but it is the best way to communicate while performing. They are doing that vocal harmony up-tempo, and my guess is that they had not been performing the song like that (either with the harmony, the up-tempo, or both) for terribly long. Just a thought.
