I think everyone skipped a couple heartbeats when Josh started singing. He compliments Tyler's voice so well. So proud of the boys.

If anyone ever thought Josh was only the drummer, this is your chance to reconsider. This video is cold hard proof that Josh contributes a full 50% of what's happening on the stage. Even I assumed Josh wasn't as acclimated with some of the technical stuff, but Josh was singing and programming beats and playing piano keys and multitasking like crazy, which is hard af. Of all the people on the planet, it's crazy how fate landed Josh next to Tyler. These guys are so 100% in sync. Their gazes keep locking in to ensure the operation's moving smoothly, and it looks like they're so deep in concentration and focus. This is taking music-making to the next level. Tyler's a genius, but Josh has done more than enough to prove he's not just a drummer. Fantastic. This is talent we usually don't see from mainstream bands. Anyways, these guys didn't get "lucky", and they're not famous for being famous -- they got to where they are with raw unrivaled skill, and probably thousands of hours of practice and racking their brains coming up with ways to distinguish themselves. There are no words

No matter how bad things get, I was on this planet the same time as Twenty One Pilots.

Josh singing and harmonizing with Tyler is something I never thought I'd see 😭This whole performance is so good I'm so proud of how far they've come

I never in a million years would think that Car Radio would work as a rock song, but it was so freaking good. More rock on the next album please!

Josh singing has officially elevated twenty one pilots to a tier only few bands will ever reach, i hope the next album involves both of them doing whatever perfection this was

So, I'm a 66 year old grandfather and have experienced over 50 years of music in almost every genre there is, and I must say, this was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! As Tyler said, they always perform with recorded back tracks, then add the finishing touches live. But here they created something from the ground up, on the spot, as we watched and enjoyed. They have become so much more over the years since there humble beginnings. Well done boys! Oh, and Josh my friend, you are no longer just "The Drummer"! Thanks for letting us all experience twenty one pilots.

Josh singing with Tyler just sent me to a blissful place I haven’t seen in far too long. This story arc just elevated the plot tenfold.

Josh is not only singing but playing the keyboard as well, without any hesitation. I am so proud of him!! It sounds so good!!

From watching this I get a feeling that their next album is going to be their best yet. Their artistry is just beyond, they know exactly what they’re doing and hope they show this more in the studio versions.

(4:04) In this part I just cried. How they look at each other, the delivery of their vocals, how they complement each others voices so well, I can feel the bond between them. I can hear the melancholy in their voices. Eveything and everyone even time itself stops for a moment, just leaving Tyler and Josh with that calm and nostalgic synth in the background. Just beautiful. At this part of the song this is no longer Stressed Out, this is friendship, empathy, and most of all, one the most unbelievebly human feelings I've ever felt. This is an experience. This is twenty øne piløts.

23:34 Tyler is the only one who can sing about what's happening and still make it cool and funny at the same time 😂

they’re the only band that makes me emotional like this. their creativity is unmatched. shy away was insane. car radio was something i never thought i needed until i heard it

I'm blown away by their artistry. Absolutely floored. Such an incredible performance from the both of them. Thank you for the fun surprises and beautiful music!

Josh vocals is something I’ve been waiting for for years, i love them.

9:22 That was the smoothest "cursing my government" I've ever heard

this band's creativity is unmatched. every single time i think to myself, "how will they ever top this?" they continue to do just that, over and over again. it's an honor being their fan.

if this is what they can do live, just imagine how good the production will be on the next album

The synergy and musical brilliance these 2 can garner with instruments deserves even more recognition. Maybe it's a tad extreme, but is there any comparibal duo in the scene right now whose delivering such range and variety and brilliance.
