I've seen HTD 7 times live. 3 with Jimmy, he always did the back up vocals on several songs. Along with Devon Chaulk, the drummer. There are some parts, such as the interlude in 'American Love' that require multiple vocal parts. While Brennan and Mike and responsible for clean vocals on when everything falls, as you said, Jimmy and even Devon were always singing live. Stephen now attempts to sing clean vocals as well, which normally doesn't sound all that great, but whatever. They are in town at soma soon, I will be attending my 8th show.
