The guys performed a a few of their hits, which included the heartbreak anthem "Save Me The Trouble" in the rain at "The Today Show" Citi Concert Series on July 21, 2023. Although it was raining, Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney did not mind getting wet, as they were dressed in short sleeve shirts and jeans ready to sing their hits. However, many of the people in attendance were draped in rain gear and under umbrellas. They braved the weather as well to come out and enjoy the duos performances.
Despite the rain and it being early in the morning, the guys did not hold back on this specific performance. Passionate, powerful vocals filled with frustrated and aggravation are required when the song is about a guy who is frustrated with his partner because she keeps leaving him and does not want it to happen again. Mooney delivered with the vocals and then some. In addition, while he was moving around on stage, the lead vocalist also showed aggravation and frustration with his body language. Smyers delivered with his flawless harmonies and he also showed the same negative emotions with his body language as he played the guitar. The duo received a large ovation from the crowd after they sang the last note.
In my opinion, with the exception of their earlier number one "I Should Probably Go To Bed", I think overall that "Save Me The Trouble" is Dan + Shay's most epic, massive, theatrical hit to date. From watching "The Today Show" performance of it today to seeing them do it on award shows, and getting to experience it live in person last March. While Smyers was there to play his guitar and sing harmony, he wanted to be in the background. He always let Mooney shine in the spotlight. Every time I have seen a live performance of this track, my jaw has dropped. Their talent is truly out of this world.
They keep getting better and better, which I did not think was possible. I feel incredibly lucky to be a fan of these two guys who also happen to be the most genuine, humble, kind celebrities that I have ever met.
You can check out the previous posts that I have written about their past performances of this song. Also, please stay tuned for a post where I run down the song's lyrics, vocals, and production.
