omg watching this man sing is one of the sexiest things on the planet...both him and Ne-Yo do this thing where they get super close to the mic and it looks so unbelievably intimate...and Hott!! very hot
Thanks for linking to this. Always nice to revisit these performances. Always stunned and soothed. The VOICE is just amazing. Endorphins, Alpha Waves, Velvet, Resonance, Emotional Expression - you name it
Rewatching that performance after a very long time, it is as if he was making love to the audience. Whew. David is beyond special. I just can't quit him.
WOW!! I have chills!! This is the first time I've seen and heard this acoustic version like this!! THANK You sooo much for capturing and sharing this!!
Love this vid....thanx so much for taping! Beautiful song sung by a beautiful man....very moving done acoustically like this. And love the little bit of acapella around 4:10. So cute at the beginning too when he talks about it feeling like "Top 5 night" and that sweet little laugh. (Sorry, David, I know you rock out with the best of them, so you probably cringe at the words "cute" and "sweet", but the combination of hot rocker and cute & sweet guy is irresistible! lol)
To think there was a period in time where I didn't like this song. Shame on me! This song... Well, now it describes a situation I'm in nearly perfectly, and I get tears in my eyes every time I listen to it. And this version... Just kills me.
Every time I watch him sing this it moves me in such a profound way--I just can't explain it other than I love him immensely for what he brings to all of us.
F Me!! (oops, did I say that out loud?!) I had the immense pleasure of hearing this live at his last show in Charlotte. Absolutely drop-dead gorgeous song! So, is he not in charge of the echo-thing? He looked surprised...and do we have Neal to thank for not putting this song on the setlist practically the whole tewer? BAD NEAL!!! ;-)
umm...I don't know what to say! That was a very intimate, haunting, touching, performance, and is probably the best Avalanche i've ever seen/heard....and I even got it in concert once haha. I love stripped down versions with just him and the guitar for some songs...this one being one of them. Gorgeous, gorgeous video; thanks for sharing!
Yes, my "Roll Tide" made it in the video of Avalanche. It is a great day in the neighborhood. I was seated right beside Stacy front row and this is one night I'll never forget. Just mesmerizing!!
Beautiful -- thanks for sharing this with all of us. The VOICE!!! It's the VOICE!! I love the band -- but I want to hear the voice when the voice is singing :-) I'm happy for him to do whatever music makes him happy -- but THIS is what makes ME happy.
I still can't believe that we got this live, Stacy!! This was one of the songs I was dieing to hear!!! I knew you were videoing it, this is just gorgeous! When you said you centered in on just his face, you weren't kidding! So intimate!
So much of David's Cook music has been very derivative flyover rock. Every time he does something with a song and strips back all the STUFF, and just sings, it becomes something gorgeous... Someone teach this boy that less is more for album 2.0 please?
I can't agree with you more. When he just sings a song stripped down, it's beautiful. Less is more for sure. When he tries to sing over the band, it gets lost. His voice is too good really. Let the voice be the focus. This is very initimate & this is the kind of music I would like to hear on his next album. I hope he does this. Just like on A.I., he evoked emotion & it touched us all.
David Cook is just BREATHTAKING !! What an unforgettable night this was I I hear myself screaming out 'David' a few times in the beginning too ....beautiful video , beautiful performance , beautiful MAN ! 5 stars - Favs Thank you !
If I could have only one video from this whole tour, this would be the one.Such an intimate close up.I can almost smell him and hear his heart beating.You got the "Shirt" and acoustic Avalanche.How the hell did you survive that combination. I'll be seeing him again11/29 at Nova. Jumping out of my skin with excitement and sad , knowing that the next SoFL tour stop could be a year from now. Happy for you to be able to see David live again. Has the adrenaline worn off yet?...didnt think so. =)
Agree: The band shouldn't be the focus, it should be David. Definitely agree that they sometimes overpower his voice which is beautiful. I just want pure David. I hope someone is paying attention!!!!
All I can say is...... THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO OF DAVE I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. You brought me so much happiness with this video. I am forever grateful.
I think I just died. So beautiful.
