Wow! Wow, wow, wow!
How does he do that? Better and better and better……
Exquisite!

Rascal- you had mentioned wanting to see David at Carnegie Hall. After watching this performance, it occurred to me that the place I would most like to see him is the Santa Fe Opera. Have you ever had the pleasure of attending there? It is ina spectacular setting- perched on a hilltop out in the desert inbetween 2 mountain ranges. The structure is open- in fact, until recently it had only a partial roof. You can sit there and watch the sun setting, lightning storms in the distance, and the acoustics are just incredible! They erected a hanging roof, but there are minimal wall structures, so you still have beautiful views, and a magical night sky. I would so love to see him in an intimate setting!

I have always maintained that for me, the best way to die would be getting struck by lightning at the Santa Fe Opera! Now that there is a roof, I will have be happy to be stricken by David’s performance if I ever get a chance to see him there!

Thanks for posting the video- it really made my day!

That was an *amazing* performance! Simply awe-inspiring.

Everyone should really try to go to the tour imo. I am no fan of screaming teen girls either, but that’s not stopping me. I really doubt any of these videos even begin to approach what hearing him live is like.

I tdid go to Glendale to hear him live at his first concert. Had to here that first concert. But now have to go to another. The LA songs by David were all astounding. He was having a fabulous time with SBM. It just gets betta and betta.

He continue to amaze and surprise us. We are blessed to be on his path. We are on a long journey Angels, brace yourself. I love Rascal advise…”strap in and enJOY!” Gosh, I am so strapped and thrilled with the ride.

I deeply love him…

Thanks Rascal. O’-)

From David’s first performance I was completely captivated by his heavenly vocals. Then his beautiful character kicked in and the package was complete. That he is able to build on it to a crescendo in this performance is pure magic!

Listened to this about 10 times today and will go to sleep with that incandescent high note in my head! Kept saying “Wow!” over and over to my computer screen. Forwarded the link with tears in my eyes to everyone I could.

It is indeed beautiful and stunning. Each time David seems able to out-do and eclipse his previous performances which were already fantastic by any standards. I am getting very nervous in anticipation of the forthcoming ones, this is only the 5th or 6th(?) of his concerts.

I would like to have this performance on my MP3 but for the loud background screaming. Anyway, I can’t blame the screaming crowd, with this performance, I would have screaming my lungs out for him there, with total disregard to everything. I am screaming now watching him performs, and I am thousands of miles away.

Thank you, Rascal, for this video.

This site like several fansites is on my daily reading list.
This is what living the good life is about. Rascal your writing is beautiful I really enjoy reading and agreeing 100 percent with what you write.
I am proud to be a 52 year old “Fan-Girl” as you put it.
Thanks

To #19, angelfire, I have signed with comments, thank you. It is really high time they replaced and retired this attire. It is not flattering on David -- a handsome, dynamic young man with immense talents and captivating personaliy.

Woh. That was SOMETHING ELSE. I was actually regretting that David wasn’t doing his old original version of “Angels” that he did when he was 15 at EFY (church activity for youth, white shirt and tie). I just love that simple and beautiful version with the way he belts out the chorus and the riffs he adds here and there at the end. It was my favorite. Now, I have to reevaluate because this one blew me out of my chair. The emotion was overpowering, the vocals were mind boggling. I may just have to change my preference to this one. Gotta revisit both sites and contemplate. Here’s the link to the old one if you haven’t seen it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo4ZkBTSKTE

I actually think that the reason the LA performance was out of this world was because--as David said in that recorded interview--he was really kind of nervous about this concert. So, what does he do in response? He throws EVERYTHING he’s got out on the floor. When he does that, it’s a hurricane comin’ through. A force of nature. He is just UNREAL.

I’m driving to Tacoma (300 miles one way) to see him perform this weekend (be still my heart!), but you know what has occurred to me? David is gonna REALLY be PUMPED for his performances in Salt Lake. Can you IMAGINE what they’re gonna get when he steps out on that stage?! Makes me think I ought to check and see if there are any seats left for that second show. Could be some memories of a lifetime in the making at that event, folks.

No way I could get a decent price on an airline ticket at this late date and the thought of driving 730 miles one way to SLC right after I get back from the 600 mile round trip to the coast makes me too tired to contemplate. Hard to believe I would even entertain the thought. The last concert I went to (besides the symphony) was Edgar Winter in the 1980s! Way back when.

David has been a revolution in my life. He’s a house afire, and I’m being consumed! I bet you can relate! That’s why I feel so comfortable here. You understand me. Haha

Just walked in from San Jose.

The first 8 are more or less an extended warm up act for the final two. There were good performances here and there. Brooke’s “Let it Be” was her best. Carly sounded especially good tonight, clear and strong.Jason’s “Rainbow” was very sweet and a crowd pleaser. Syesha belted out the big notes effortlessly. Then she announced David.

It’s not that you hear screaming, that doesn’t do it justice. It’s a ground swelling thunderous roar. Everyone’s collective energy was poured into welcoming him. I can tell you he was technically perfect, absolutely spectacular. His voice filled the entire sports arena, enough to surround you and then some. I tried to stay in the moment but knowing the set was only four songs, I started missing him before it was over. He leaves you not hungry, but ravenous for more.

Don’t let the screaming keep you from seeing David. It wasn’t offensive at all. I found it conveyed a wonderful layer of appreciation to the whole experience.

#21 kccy -- Thanks for the link for WYSYLM. The close up of his face adds to his performance. His joy, his relaxed demeanor, his smiles as he sings adds to the whole experience of listening to him sing this song. And the extra long pause in LA at the end was because he was grinning from ear to ear. Thanks for the treat.

Bookaholic, I have an extra ticket for SLC Monday show -- tempting you!

At this point, I don’t think the suit even matters. He can wear any ridiculous thing when he sounds like this.

Yes, I have 2 tickets, I actually have 3. (Sorry Rascal for the business transaction -- is it OK since Mama Josie will be in SLC with me, too?!)

naturgirl -- call me 801-224-9893

And once again, just when we’re getting used to an already revamped version of a song, David surprises us. What’s so awesome is that his little change ups are always successful.

Janey thanks for your review, so happy to hear how perfect he was. I am so tempted -- tickets are still available here…
