(THIS IS AN OFFICIAL THING! and public post, with a thanks to all the patrons...)

HOLA MY LOVES.

it worked! we captured the full beauty of the dresden dolls live at coney island amphitheater with SIX FANTASTIC CAMERAS and brilliant sound. includes bonus footage of the crowd, the brigade AND the amazing opening band, brooklyn's own PWR BTTM.

thank you so so so SO much to everyone who *came* - over 10,000 of you! -  to the dolls shows in kingston, boston and coney island....AND those of you who tuned in via the webcast. each night was so goddamned unforgettably special. the dresden dolls -  i.e. the magical cosmic rock love explosion of spaceship earth punk cabaret power ALL ONE that is me & mr brian viglione -  man...it's a thing to behold.

so many people told us that the band has just gotten better - since we've both matured so much as people, as musicians, as souls. we agree. we loved playing every minute of these shows - we still got it, people. and you give us a reason to explode.

so here it is: you can view the ENTIRE coney show here:

James Duncan Newbury

The webcast was awesome and so glad I got to watch it. If you missed it, watch it!!!!!

Micho

Beckie Calvert

Aimee Collins

Kerrianne

Thank you for the along show, Brian and Amanda and everyone! I'm gonna keep saying that because it was PHENOMENAL!!!!!

Aimee Collins

And a massive thank you to the whole Dolls Team for working hard and being a part of epic art making!

Melissa

My boyfriend and I travelled from California to see you both! It was an amazing and unforgettable weekend topped with a D.D. cherry. Thank you for giving me a reason to travel somewhere new! Love you guys and hope to see both preform again!

Catherine Henderson

Loved the webcast. Do it again and come to Scotland!! Xx

Renee Simmons

Fucking beautiful, man. I'm so pumped for the next show, I flew in from GA to be with everyone at Coney Island and it was magical. I loved every second, and it made me so so so happy to see you guys for the first time live in such a great atmosphere and as a patron. I'm riding on an epic Dresden Dolls punk cabaret love fest high!

EmYunks

This was a glorious evening, y'all. I was proud to have had a small hand in making it happen. I came into Amandalanda as an AFP fan first, so my exposure to the Dolls was in the amazing songs you performed at solo shows, and then the Record Store Day webcast (which was great). But it wasn't the same. I sincerely regret not making the trip up to Coney Island, but will not make that mistake again, having had this $3 experience. Thank you.

Mary Kimball

Thank you for putting the show up so quickly! I haven't seen Dresden Dolls live in person yet - just on livestreams. :)

Nicole

yes! I need to relive the show while I do boring normal life things

Nicole

also, jade's photography

I loved the Boston show, which I attended with my gf, and we immediately watched the livecast the next night because of course we did. Amazing job!

Hillary

It was so great to see you guys again! I was at the NYC show. Relived some old emotions from the Dolls days, plus I was so excited to hear "Machete" live, as it's my favorite Patreon song so far!

kelly

Would love to see this as a dvd!

Courtney

AFP, will you release this on vinyl? Pretty please?

Peter Gillet

The whole webcast felt like the warmest group hug / family reunion. The chat and the selfies added to the magic of the concert.

Caitlin Mercer

I loved this show SO much and my new hoodie hat t-shirt and signed cd, and now for only $3 I can relive it over and over!!! This Patreon thing is SO awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

moonh8sun

yes yous shall, yes yous shall....

Jessica Fox-Wilson

I became a fan of yours around WKAP, so after Dresden Dolls broke up. I live in the Midwest. I would never have been able to see a Dresden Dolls performance, so I am so grateful for this webcast. The sound and video was truly amazing and your performances were excellent. Thank you for making this available.

Laura Keenados

I have fucking TEARS IN MY EYES I love this so much. Is there any chance we can Thing an MP3 of this? Live album stylie, like back in the MTV Unplugged days? Well done, friends.

Kimberly walter

Hope you and Brian have recovered. After we left the concert my daughter said, "the next time the Dresden dolls come..." You get the point of our love. I wore my punk cabaret tshirt that I bought at the concert into a store and the 22-year-old cashier told me how much she loooves the Dresden dolls. We spoke and found out we were also lovers of Buffy the Vampire slayer! Thanks for including so many beautiful, creative people in your life and taking all of us along on your Artists journey.

Nerdish Delights

Oh, this is fantastic! I haven't watched it yet, but I will as soon as I get the chance. Being in Australia, I'd resigned myself to missing out. Now I can do a happy dance!

Lisa

I watched it the next day and it was amazing! I was glad to have been part of Patreon and enable so many people today benefit from it! Thank you to all involved. You rock!

Molly M. Halloran

I was at the Coney Island show, which was amazing. You and Brian sounded better than ever. I gladly support the webcasting of it, however I sadly watched one of the camera men film rather than get to actually see the stage because my seats were directly behind him. I assume this was the case for a few other people as well. I want these things webcast but I think we need to be careful that it doesn't take away from the experience for the people actually at the event. Again...I LOVED the show and am so glad to have been there.

Laura Wellner

Dude, that was the curtain-call hug felt around the world! (Great photo!) I had missed the first bit of the Coney Island show, but saw most of the ending, so I'm so happy to see the replay (and more than happy to have been part of paying for making it happen so others who couldn't be there can share in the moment!) It was fucking fantastic! I hope you're getting some rest, busy lady! Take care!! Hugs n' love!

Dorit

Danced myself silly to Leeds United. I wasn't expecting that on the set list! Thank you for an amazing night at Coney Island and I'm looking forward to re-living it soon!

Peter

My iPhone decide to act funny and deleted completely my "special dollsy download surprises", could anyone re-email me please. Thanks in advance.

Vanella

From the little bit I watched live it looked epic. Looking forward to having time to watch it all. :)

Christ Why

I don't remember Gravity?!

kimchiandco

I saw the second half and it was amazing!Yay!! Now I can watch the bits I missed - and I wouldn't want to miss a second of it!

Tiffany Stone

OMG thank you so much for making this happen, Amanda. The Dresden Dolls meant so much to me growing up, this was a truly spectacular Thing to be a part of even if in a small way. P.S.) Hearing Machete as a DD song offered a dimension that really made it blossom for me. So incredibly moving. I hate I missed it live, but this webcast is everything! THANK YOU!

Jeff Walsh

I don't think the extra e-mail happened yet....

Krista Strobel

Honestly this was one of the best webcasts I've ever seen, production and sound-wise. This company did an extraordinary job.

Hannah

YES! DO MORE! Lots and lots and lots more pretty please. It was a dream come true to see the DD play in MA at long last.

Llaura Sanacore Rubin

I was there at Coney Island Saturday Night, and let me tell you, Pwr Bttm and the Dresden Dolls were the BEST THING I've seen all year! (No offense to the Smithereens or Bruce Springsteen or anyone I've left out). The only thing that compared was the Amanda & Dad & Thor & Friends thing I attended at le Poisson Rouge on July 19th. Here's hoping you guys do a more *intimate* setting (that place was HUGE and it was PACKED!) nearby in the near future. Loving You Totally in Montclair, New Jersey. ♥♥

Wong SauYan

I can't wait till the full thing is on YouTube so I can download and watch without killing my data plan! Thank you Amanda!

Eliza Spilnere

Wow, the show is available so soon! Thank you so much!!! Love, thank you Amanda and all the amazing crew people! Much love ❤

Nathan Aldrich

Thank you! I was there in Boston and it truly was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen/heard/felt. There have been occasional moments of this Patreon (which is a new experience for me) that I haven't been entirely sure about, but if we in any way are helping to facilitate and share kickass live music experiences, then I am 1000% on board. Thank you for keeping patrons in the loop, and for trying to strike a balance between cool new music and the older stuff that already means so much to us.

Amanda Junay

I am so glad this is a Thing! I got to enjoy the Coney Island show in the pit, thanks to an incredible fan in Germany who unfortunately wasn't able to make it. And through the magic of the AFP facebook group I was able to purchase tickets from her effortlessly and say goodbye to my seats, not give a shit that I made no money off of the tickets. I got a 'doll face' make over at the booth in front of the stage, and rocked my ass off in front of Brian while catching glimpses of your face behind the really really tall guy in front of me. He was very into the show and I didn't want to kill the energy by asking him to stop dancing. So now I can rewatch the whole show and actually enjoy all of your parts as well. One of my best friends acted as my messenger and passed off a post card I made for you. I hope you were able to read it and that it made you smile, and joins your collection of fan art that you probably have tucked away or displayed all over some secret room in your magical house. Thank you for becoming more comfortable, talented, and inspiring each time I see you. It's been amazing to see and witness you evolve as a woman and an artist and to talk with hundreds of other fans how you've inspired us and saved our lives, and made us better people and parents. Thank you

Erin Millar

I had a to-do list to get through this morning before I go to work...and I most gladly got none of it done while I watched this. I'll have to finish it later, but wow, just wow. Thank you for making this a thing - I never got to see the Dresden Dolls live, so this means the world to me

Laura Keenados

Also, I know I already commented on this thread, BUT! I absolutely LOVE the selfies. Pup, and the kitties, and Neil, and MEGAN, YOUR DANCING SELFIES WERE RAD!

Dorraine Baines

I really enjoyed watching this webcast live, and I'm super excited that we can watch it again! Thanks for doing this for your fans, especially from those of us who were no where near any of your concert locations so this was an extra special treat!

Félix Marqués

It was a fantastic show. ♥ Will it be up for download later? I'd love to be able to save it.

Jen Beeeee

Amazing show! So glad to have the webcast to relive the glory of it!

Brandon J

Download would be nice. I'm on a bandwidth limited connection in the boonies and it's nice to be able to stream at will from a media server.

Roberta Mendes

i'm only watching this now and i had never watched the webcsts due to lack of time. and god what have i been missing! During leeds united a girl wrote on her hand "FORA TEMER" (which is a reference to a really bad political time we are going through here in brazil). I just wanted to say that was awesome and cool and thank you, Cathia

Céline Malgen

I'm so glad I was able to watch the show, it was absolutely amazing! And the quality of the webcast was incredible, it was definitely worth Thing-ing it so that everyone can enjoy it in the most perfect way. I especially loved the close-ups of you two, and the interaction you have! You both live, breathe, sweat the music, that's so immersive! Thank you for everything, please continue being yourself and doing what you love, that's what makes you so great!

LM_Loenstrup

OMG, SO happy this was 'thing'ed' :D

Lida Zoupi

Yeeeeeeeah! Money well spent!

Paul Atwell

Glad to relive this great show on the webcast!!!! Especially since the meet and greet was such a disappointment.

Kate Running

Finally got to watch! But only the first half of your set (my internet was being lame) so good, & Mandy goes to med school?! Damn that was good. Thanks for webcasting, I can't wait to see the rest. ps.. nice pants

Lisa

I don't usually have the patience, much less the interest, for watching concerts on my computer. But I couldn't NOT watch this one, every fantastic second of it. Thank you Amanda and Brian, and my fellow Patreons for making this happen!!!!!!

Tyler Archibald

Please tell me I didn't miss getting the download!? I was broke until I got paid today =/

Kitty Friedricks

is this downloadable? I tried streaming but it's.... it's........ it's like it keeps getting......... getting....interrupted? silver lining: screen freezes on awesome facial expressions is kinda cool. I'd love to watch it straight through though.

Myrian Vidal

It was wonderful to feel how you feel music and enjoy the show. Thanks to the Huzza team for the streamming and to all the patreons who made It possible and awesome! ♡

Elaine Merkel

Yes. I clicked on "Pause" and then restarted and I got the video to start playing, but it had no sound, and no way to fast forward to the actual concert.... I hope we can get a better version of this as Patrons.

Nicole

I tried that too and it didn't even play the video with no sound for me. I really hope we can get a better version too. I was there that night and would love to have an actual copy of the night to relive it over & over.

Len Tower Jr.

add to the credits: jen & all the DBBrigaders! the venues' staffs.

Maura P. Mclaughlin

my daughter was there (I flew her from Oregon) and I watched from Los Angeles!

Jaysen Fitzgerald

Did the download code ever go out? I've looked high and low in my inbox but, alas, no luck :-/

Anonymous

Me too. I can't wait for the download so I can watch it on my big screen tv!

Nicole

I really hope they do release it as a download... I have yet to watch the stream (I was at the show though!) since it will not load for me - the page just keeps saying "loading replay". It's getting so frustrating!

Rachel Jargon

I would really, really like the download because I live in a rural area and the connection for the live feed was sadly too stuttery to watch. :(

Anonymous

Same here. Was at the Coney Island show and want to remember it forever.

Wong SauYan

I just asked about this in the Official FB group, AND I tagged AFP, so hopefully, we get something soon! :)

nikos papageorgiou

I left the same reply on FB: I don't think she would send us the whole show as a download. The plan was to have it available to watch from huzza, and also split it up and put it on youtube at some point. The surprises she promised to send us could be extra footage (the 2 new songs they were working on - I wish), or some other related video. I might be wrong, but I never had the impression we would be able to download the full show with download codes. The file itself is over 3GB, so I'm not really sure what service they would use for a file this big to be distributed amongst the thousands of patreon users

Caitlin Mercer

I'm waiting eagerly for this download too ❤️ any news yet?

Alice Hart

I was wondering whether a download link had been sent round yet; I can't find one in my inbox or bin...

Jerry Peckery

Me Too, we need to rewind some parts with lossless audio I hope. My live feed kept stuttering, but still was awesome.

Jerry Peckery

The 9/21 p-mail post stated the download for the $5 & up patrons is delayed by fixing audio problems, coming soon!

Martin Holeysovsky

the link requires password, is it still available? Cant find the password anywhere, did I just overlooked it?
