La Dispute performing King Park live at The Grog Shop. This was founding guitarist, Kevin Whittemore's final tour with the band after being with them for ten years. It was a very emotional show to say the least.
Side Note: David Haik of Pianos Become The Teeth is seen providing additional tom hits/impaling before stage diving towards the end.

![La Dispute - "King Park" [LIVE] Grand Rapids, MI 5/7/12 *hometown show*](/img/n.gif)
I was 17 when I attended this show. It was my very first concert, my favorite band. I cried twice. Ive never felt so much raw emotion in one room in my life, and I can still say that to this day. My voice was so raw the next day from screaming the lyrics, my body so sore from being mashed together in such a small space, but the bumps and bruises, the headache and ringing in my ears when I got home and into the next day were all a happy reminder of one of the best nights of my life.
Damn, I remember being at the show right before this one and they first announced that Kevin was leaving. It was an honor to see the next to last show he played with them, I can't imagine how incredible it was to see his very last show. These guys are all amazing dudes, Kevin included. I've never stopped missing him in the lineup, he was a hell of a guitarist and a hell of a guy.
"And I remember in a basement sharing sweat
With all these stranger boys and girls
"We'll change the world!" We sang
"We'll change the world!""
The last build up gives me chills to this day
that one guy in the red shirt is really feeling it aha this is so amazing tho
8:36 and beyond is something truly magical.
Drummer immediately stage diving after is hardcore
It's not their drummer. It's the Pianos Become the Teeth's drummer.
Kevin's goodbye in the beginning made me tear up
the raw emotion in the whole room screaming "can i still get into heaven if i kill myself" gave me chills
I love that everyone screamed it
the intamacy is real.. with the band and everyone in the crowd... everything was so intimate and the vibe was beautiful. what a night.
This was on my birthday last year 40 mins from my house and i didnt even know they were touring last year. Well shit.
Best show I've ever been to. Please take me back.
the energy from the crowd :')
What a show. Wonder when we'll ever get to do stuff like this again with covid.
We are really gonna miss you Kevin.
I was so fucking blessed to be at this show, and i called this as the encore at the beginning of the show.
Dude in the black literally bunny hopped into the crowd
one of the best nights of my life.
Jealous :/
This looks really teenagerish.
Another -guilty- pleasure.
I’m 45 and I’m moved in 2022; lyrics and talent not so much teenagerish! CAN I STILL GET INTO HEAVEN IF I KILL MYSELF!
incredible video!! thank you for posting ♡
lyrics:
Another shooting on the southeast side, this a drive-by, mid-day
Outside of the bus stop, by Fuller and Franklin, or near there
Not far from the park
About a block from where the other shooting was last month
Or was it last week?
Shots were fired from an SUV heading northbound, Eastown
The target a rival but they didn't hit the target this time
They hit a kid we think had nothing to do with it
And I travel backwards through time and space
And I disintegrate, become invisible
I want to see it where I couldn't when it happened
I want to see it all first hand this time
I want to know what it felt like
So I float behind police lines
Reconstruct the scene in fragments of memories
I want to know what his mother looked like up close
I want to see her leaning over his body
So I float there, transcend time
I want to capture it accurately
I want to know what the color of the blood was
Spilling out from the tarp onto the concrete
I want to write it all down so I can always remember
If you could see it up close how could you ever forget?
How senseless death, how precious life
I want to be there when the bullet hit
And the crowd poured out as the shots drowned into siren sounds
Out of there houses now and over front yards
All the way up to the place where the police tape ran to mark the crime scene
Everybody trying to catch a glimpse of what was happening
Of what was going on between the ambulance and all the cop cars
Everybody gossiping
"Whose kid got hit? Where'd it hit him? And who could've fired it?"
Everybody wondering
"How did it happen again? And is he dead? These children, our kids."
Everybody wondering how far they were from where the victims lived
And I visit them, their houses, inside my dream I visit them
My spirit, soaring high and high up over King Park
Leaves the crime scene, travels further back till far before the shooting
Through their windows, to their living rooms
I see them younger this time, playing games and doing homework
All these marks of youth soon transformed coldly into stone
For fights and stupid feuds, for ruins wrapped in gold
And cruelly I recall why I have come to find a reason
But there cannot be a reason, not for death, not like this, not like this
Three days later they made funeral plans, the family
Three days later a mother had to bury her son
Not far away the shooter holed up in a hotel
Near to the highway with a friend and the gun, that same gun
He'd fled immediately but was identified by witnesses
His picture on TV, only 20 years old
They called him "Grandpa"
He was older than the others by a year, maybe two
And he was safe for awhile until somebody saw him there
And notified the authorities who surrounded the hotel
First arresting an accomplice while attempting to flee
Then chasing him up the staircase to the floor where he'd stayed
He closed the door hard behind him, locked himself in the room
They could've kicked in the door but knew the gun was still with him
One he'd already used and so they feared what he'd do
I floated up through the window of a room to the West
I hovered out to the hallway, tried to listen in
I heard them trying to reason, get him to open the door
His uncle begging and pleading, half-collapsed to the floor
He preached of hope and forgiveness
Said, "There is always a chance to rectify what you've taken, make your peace in the world."
I thought to slip through the door, I could've entered the room
I felt the burden of murder, it shook the earth to the core
Felt like the world was collapsing then we heard him speak
"Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?
Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?
Can I ever be forgiven 'cause I killed that kid?
It was an accident I swear it wasn't meant for him!
And if I turn it on me, if I even it out
Can I still get in or will they send me to hell?
Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?"
I left the hotel behind, don't want to know how it ends
This needs more views
Dem goosebumps... Shit!
What a masterpiece.
So glad I was there to see this
I want to see this amazing band live so so bad but they haven't done any shows lately :( I really hope they announce a tour soon
I AM CRY
I saw them in san fran, omg they're so amazing
I'm sad that I never got the see them live. Sucks living half way across the world. This looked so emotional. Fucking awesome
What a way to start a show
Im crying
I live in Detroit and I never got to see this band.
The song starts at 2:23.

They said he was leaving to start making his own guitars
