Remembering a Surprise Twenty One Pilots TV Concert

I feel lucky that that I caught the TV broadcast of Twenty One Pilots Blurryface concert on Palladia on New Year's Day!

It was HD and perfect viewing on my wide screen. The show was electrifying!

On top of the mesmerizing stage effects (with both digital graphics and conventional dynamics)the video production effects and editing were excellent.

I hope they re-broadcast the show sometime. I found a concert goer who posted an audience-view video of the concert on Youtube. An official video will most likely be posted sometime soon as as they band ramps up promotions for their Emotional Roadshow Tour in the Summer of 2016. Watch this teaser for that tour which shows some clips from the New Year's Day concert.

 At right is a good shot of Tyler and Josh during the opening song Heavy Dirty Soul on the Palladia broadcast.

They performed songs from both Blurryface and Vessel albums.

This included Tear in My Heart, Ride, Car Radio, The Judge, and Ride.

Here's the clip of Heavy Dirty Soul (a big fave of mine) from the show:




I'm not alone in feeling a strong connection with the music of Twenty One Pilots.

The crowds show a remarkable devotion to the dense lyrics and energy of the duo.

Lead singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dunn both perform separately and together on platforms being held up by the crowd at certain points in the performance.

And it wouldn't be a Twenty One Pilots concert without Josh doing a backflip off the piano. Tyler usually climbs scaffolding at concerts. In this show, he climbed onto the ledge of the balcony to finish a song.

The above announcement gives details of the broadcast. If you click on it, you'll link to search results for it.

Most of the songs are from their Vessel album.

Great music and lyrics.


One thing is for sure: Tyler and Josh put their all into their performances. And that makes them fun to watch.

Whether or not I'll be able to attend any of their Emotional Roadshow concerts in 2016, I look forward to any videos and reviews that will be posted of what promises to be more terrific performances.
