LeVar Burton sings Reading Rainbow at Diggnation LA

[blueeyedlily1]

i thought he died

[catlovers222]

levar is the man

[Frostylyxxx]

I thought it was great that more people in that big crowd recognized him firstly as the man from Reading Rainbow and not Geordie from god damned Star Trek. Levar frickin Burton!!!

[AFKslashSLITTING]

@Frostylyxxx Why is it "god damned Star Trek" lol, you fucking ignorant loser. Welcome to the largest television franchise in Paramount history. Read a book you yuppie.

[JOmonkeyJO]

WHOOO! GEORDI LA FORGE!!!

[Imforeverone88]

I think I'm going to weep....Jeordi LaForge singing the theme of one of my favorite childhood shows...its almost too much.

[FANKANable]

Levar is a dumb lil trick, you all ignant. Look, you see as here that you are cleary all trippin severly. Congrats contriniol. So n' u all see what I mean man? Doggy? Fresh flex? Smokey kojey? Juh? Kool aid.; wack mop

[wackyskaman]

@FANKANable Look, I realize they don't teach grammar in inner city public schools, how about you go sell some crack on the street corner.

[FANKANable]

Sick. Really sick. Levar's got booty for days.

[loqutor]

More fish for Kunta.

[pleasuretrip]

If anyone ever tries to start shit, show them this video and say "Geordi Laforge is singing the Reading Rainbow song. Your argument is invalid."

[slewis]

A hero, an icon, a legend.

[kitisabuebos]

These vidio

[ddraven]

awesome :D

[Paralellolax]

LeVar is awesome. Geordie!

[willy101010]

EVERYONE WENT APESHIT AFTER 0:27 i would have too

[real213]

COMMUNITY!!

[b3aum0nt]

wwow dude looks like hes 30

[HumanSeekingTruth]

Now, I really do like LeVar, but hearing him as Geordi...I always imagined that he could sing...but, in any case, he's still awesome.

[spitzec]

that's awesome. He seems like a down to earth guy.

[Y0utubeHipHop]

Dude HAS NOT AGED! Books must be awesome.

[JMFSpike]

@Y0utubeHipHop Actually, if you see how he looked on Reading Rainbow back in the early 90's you can tell he's aged quite a bit. He's still awesome, though!

[seanthedonconsidine]

Levar Burton, my childhood hero. <3

[2pac4life400]

Was he drunk??????

[thelatedavidsmith]

that man hasn't really aged since the early 80's

[xGAARAxGIRLx]

i love the dude at 0:19 who screams "READING RAINBOW"

[YogiBear13]

@xGAARAxGIRLx

ROFL that crowd was rockin it.  Then again LeVar 4eva

[Frumptopia]

oh yeah, total nostalgia, And how cool would it of been to be at that place. Burton walks in and every ear drum explodes

[EGarrett01]

Reading Rainbow, Roots, Star Trek: The Next Generation...one of the best trifectas ever.

[infantry249]

When I think LA and partying, I think LeVar Burton.

[Pdorcely]

The craziest thing is how everyone including the people on stage grew up watching that show. *nostalgia* Those were the days when reading was cool, whether it be novels, sci-fi, comics, whatever. now these f**king kids think a library is a place to get on the internet and watch gay shows like chowder and adventure time. Thank God I was brought up in the 80s

[craftymore]

@Pdorcely

Right on!

[imdaznboi]

@Pdorcely lol hear hear

[unique74muzik]

#EPIC

[shellshockkd12]

Black does not crack. Man my brother still looks young!

[litfuse007]

A great man, influenced SO many children's lives in a positive way. Thank you sir.

[maladroitmortal]

My earliest memories are of him in Star Trek and him in Reading Rainbow. I wish I could just hug him

[bamapagedesign]

Can't see shit, Captain!

[HolyTerror666]

it'd be when levar burton came out on stage and started singing the "reading rainbow" theme that I realized that all the drugs ive done in my life had led up to that exact moment

[maladroitmortal]

@HolyTerror666 HAHAHAHA

[Xantexhunter]

wow,

He got old.

[showme43]

If you think about it, so did you.

[virus86]

he was at Megacon 2010 yesterday...and today! i got his sig.

[braincleavage]

LA SUCKS

[2pac4life400]

@braincleavage LA RULEZ FOOL

[unrealtrip]

That is awesome! I'm 34 and I loved watching Reading Rainbow as a kid.

[Stompinstein]

@unrealtrip shit bro im 22 and i remember waking up on saturdays to watch Reading Rainbow.

[FirstCandidate2Hate]

look at what everybody grew up into, a bunch of degenerates. I have lost faith in society.

[MrTastytoes]

Oh, Reddit :-)

[1ownjoo2]

Man he must have been crying afterwords... All those people are my age in there 20's so they grew up watching him on reading rainbow... So i say he was probably crying because he reached alot of people

[wolfsbro2]

The reaction to "Butterfly in the sky" is pretty sweet!

[08WSChamps]

gotta love LeVar, great memories from da reading rainbow. good times

[theboombody]

Gosh, all the noise. Can't stand it. I would never want to be an actor.

[jar0fdirt63]

what's wrong with geordi?

[systembust]

man this night was a classic. we had a huge fattie goin around. and then lavar came out, it was like WHOA. . contact me if u need the bootleg

[Grungemarch]

if my son was black i name him La Var

[JannRapSong]

I'm going to name my first born LeVar!!!

[JannRapSong]

Aw, man!! I would have fainted if I was there!

Everybody loves LeVar Burton!

[zigistardusted]

i bet sometimes he drinks alone at a bar and when the ladies arent interested, he gets drunk and starts saying 'do you know who i am?' and then he sings 'reading rainbow' to them. that's just how i envision it anyway.

[Holmes245]

LeVar's awesome. I "grew up" with the guy.

Settle down, not literally.

[stormsigma]

LeVar Burton is just so awesome.

[thismanisgod]

he rock he is soo cool to me

[PJMiraflores]

wow, Reading Rainbow made him like a rockstar lol.

[hokiefilm]

hahaha he is so cool for doing that... like most people would be annoyed by the request and all, and he's just so cool about it

[JuciusMaximus]

The fact that he can't sing does not subtract from the coolness.

[SuiginChou]

If anything, it makes his coolness more pronounced, more *obvious*. 'Cause you realize, "Wow, he can't carry a tune very well, but I'm lovin' him, the crowd is lovin' him, this is amazing star power here. :D"

Another kid who grew up with LeVar on both shows (RR, ST:TNG) and loved this. Thanks for uploading it, revision3.

[mysterywalker]

Yes, it doesn't at all. And it is a fact.

[terrycherrybrown]

Levar Burton is the man!

You rock Levar!

Lt. Commander Geordi LaForge forever!

[marthazappa]

He is the coolest.

[saevalzinder17]

[JAS283]

LaVar is one of my heroes. He's so cool.

[americanidol434]

[sweetpunk1025]

[weazie1995]

[stubert311]

[gregarious24]

He should wear his STNG goggles around all the time.

[blickblocks]

You know, he can't actually see when he wears those things.

IRONY. It has them.

[theycallmejb]

[oneadrabbits]

it sounds like someone scored a game winner when the crowd loses it.

[geniusNOTatWORK]

Aww, this is all sorts of awesome! Wish I could've been there. I had the entire day to myself after 2pm but alas, no ride.

[Mercer2003]

[jaysyn]

[ButtaPeCanRican76]

LOL..Yo Props 2 him..

[DamnRandall]

I am so bummed I missed the live event. I live in OC and I definitely could have made it. Even took the day off. But all my friends bailed and I thought it wouldn't be as fun. Looks like I was wrong.

[salome191]

Absolutely epic. Gotta love LeVar Burton.

[CaptainScrummys]

I was gonna be here (road trip from NorCal) if it wasn't for a buddy starting his spring term at college the next day! Hopefully I can make the next one!

[BJWanlund]

Wow, what a crazy-awesome show!!!

That oughta be interesting IF (I'm saying IF here) that amazing bit makes it on the show!!

BJ

[Gfer]

wow. must have been a crazy show. Wish I lived closer to LA :P

[KingKurteous]

[TheWisestWizards]

This is amazing. He needs to sing that song at every event.
