Favorite "Marty Move"??

Other moves? Well, besides the backbends, there's a moment in the first version of "Trees" when he's singing without the band, and then on the word "in" the drum kicks in and Marty drops down right on the beat. He disappears from sight for a second, but the timing of the move was absolutely perfect! I think that's the "self-propulsion" thing tookskye mentioned.

I love this move. Everytime I hear Trees I think of that move and wish I could see him do it again. (I guess we're lucky we have video.) It is classic.

Also when he holds the mic with two hands at the climax of Creep and then collapses his head as he's spent.

I also love when he finishes that absolutely powerful performance of Creep then hops on down with that Marty smile and says, "Thanks, Dave, that was cool (for playing with him on Trees). He knew he nailed it and was playing a little coy. What a true performer!

---There's also a vid of the Lovehammers performing "Straight As An Arrow" and Marty sings, "My girl, you're so dirty" while coming up behind Dino(?) and grabbing his (Dino's) hair...it's great because Marty starts off all dark and serious but then he begins to smile a little and Dino seems to let out a bit of a chuckle.

(You know two guys are friends when they'll allow one another to pull their hair and imply they're a dirty girl in front of millions...you know they're true friends when they're actually amused by it. )

I'M SOOO GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT!... THAT'S DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE MARTY MOVE! i don't remember seeing Marty crack a smile though... i just got the feeling Dino was totally creeped out! hahahaha!

OH! and after i first saw this video i had a nightmare about Marty pulling my hair... IT WAS REALLY WEIRD! ... and kinda hot. ... maybe i'm just a dirty girl....

You're right conducted, Marty didn't smile (I watched the video again...and again...and one more time), sorry about that; but Dino smiles...an awkward, slightly creep-out smile, but a smile nonetheless. ;D

After watching that video I had a "Marty-pulls-my-hair" dream too...but it wasn't really a nightmare either...I guess we're both a little dirty.

In his first performance of Trees, after he walks down the "ego ramp" and he's dancing, then he sings "you and I". On the "I" he's belting it out so confidently, and I'm yellin "Oh Ya - you and me baby"!

My favorite move is when he bends almost all the way back! So Sexy. He also did it in the Levi Photo Shoot, I can't wait to see him do that in person.

Any move this man makes is magic, but my favorite was the "snake charmer" thing he did with his arms around his mike stand at the Aragon. It was a bit exotic, a bit akward, like he was just learning how to move the space around him - and it was perfect. Does anyone else remember that move?

I'm gonna have to say my favorite move is when he bends all the way back and just sings at the top of his lungs...gah, he is so awesome! I'll always love that move! My second favorite would be during Trees when he puts his hand out and then right on the beat he moves back...that was so so SO cool. Marty rocks!

I'm gonna have to go with the Creep. I love Marty's intense look and he nails Creep. I also love the fun Marty when he's relaxed and does that quick laugh of his. He always has such a sweetness about him - except when he's *really* intense and into his music! A man of maaannnny talents.

Thanks for bringing this topic back!

I hadn't read most of them initially and it was great to relive all the great Marty moments!

I love it all!

My addition is when Marty's low-riding pants ride so low as to leave little to the imagination!
....just a littile lower...come on...I know he can do it!

okay another one of my favorite moves that i just LOVE!!! is when on rockstar he sings "Lithium" and he grabs a hold of his hair and gets this look in his eyes and he is singing that part of the song. He does that in the encore too, oh man!!!
