[jccougar24]

I met Matt in Stratford, Ontario today.

He is performing there tonight.

I had NO idea how amazing he is.

boooooo that I don't have tix.

[katstuff02]

I went to see Matt in Maple Ridge this year and what a fantastic musician! I went home and instantly checked youtube for all the tunes I could listen to! Then purchased my favourites on itunes! Can't get enough of this guy :) Purely talented man.

[rme990512]

Just saw Matt in Owen Sound, Ontario.....just blew my mind away.......awesome lyrics and guitar. Thanks Matt! Wishing you well on your new video!!

[s0upe]

One of his best.

[treehugger99999]

This is why I love the Vinyl Cafe.There are so many talented musicians in Canada, They just need an opportunity to shine.

[Breanna1681]

Love it! Perfection

[Breanna1681]

oh wow he is amazing!

[SteveGogan]

I saw this show in Fredericton 3rd row center and he blew us away. He sure can bellow out this song when he is standing. Would anyone out there have video of that show. I am always so proud to be Canadian,,but hearing how Matt is doing around the world makes it even sweeter.

[tanpopo17]

He's the type of musician that puts 100% of their feelings into each and every performance. It's very rare to see that, I might add. I'm sad I missed him at the Calgary Folk Fest...

[172729501]

it's about time,,Character,Beauti and Talent,,i think i'm in Love,,,to bad your already Married,,,this is absolutely awesome and from with in the soul,,,

[mucbeanz]

Going to go see him live in Fredericton N.B this summer 2011!! Cant Wait!!

[frostyswine]

Do you have a recording of his other performance that night, Ain't no Sunshine?

[TheRubberDuck139]

Its a rare thing to see a person with a purely raw talent like this. His voice is just amazing. Words can not describe the purity of this man's voice.

[edwestwick10]

[QuiltedThe311]

The voice of a thousand angles...

[catchinbass86]

Great song. What a great talent Matt is.

[brigyzbrigz]

[techy72]

@brigyzbrigz I used my Canon S2 IS camera from the lighting booth in the auditorium.

[terry1164]

[MelE3333]

Does he have his own YouTube channel?  I love matt andersen's soulful and hearty voice, he's very therapeutic! <3

[misserina72]

I saw Matt perform this at Stuart Maclean's Vinyl Cafe Christmas Concert at Convocation Hall in the holiday season of 2009. I could feel his emotion in my heart as he played. I was extremely pleased to see Matt perform with Stuart again this year. Amazing.

[Graiskye]

OUTSTANDING.

[ryanhamilton12]

[leeinthegrove]

I have seen Matt live once and now again in vancouver this month.. this man is amazing.. love his music..

[oxoMKoxo]

He performed this song tonight in Campbell River, BC. It brought me to tears.

Matt is phenomenal.

[techy72]

@oxoMKoxo I'm glad you enjoyed it! 8-)

[eatlikehobbit]

@oxoMKoxo You guys were lucky (I liked that part about ferry ride he did in Campbell River)! I was hoping he'd play this song (my fav) in Vancouver, but it didn't happen tonight. However, it was still a privilege to see him live!

[stephenpoi]

Seriously!!! The most talented singer/songwriter I've ever heard!!! Rock on Matt!!

[justcallmethelma]

whew......i usually have a 3 minute attention span when it comes to a song......but whewww...kept my attention right here til the very end.......he really is so incredible!

[tragicallyhipped]

Saw him Kingston at Bluesfest, just ridiculus! He blew everyone away, wished he had played all night!

[Calhoun1186]

Wow Matt is my new music hero! Thank you for this vid techy72!!!.

[Zubradevine]

I get goosebumps everytime i listen to him, he really is amazing and should be known worldwide!

[Steeve9991]

matt always gets 100 out of 10...super talented :)

[BOLT2644]

This Guy is amazing! My improv team opened for him!!!!

[Revilo96]

hey techy72 did you record the whole concert, i was listening to the whole concert on cbc radio one night and was completely blown away by the first song he played. what great vocals. "ain't no sunshine" by bill withers

so if you have it i am begging you, please post it, a serious diehard request.

and also the lady that was singing a good melody that night too.

[hellkat1234]

Matt, you remind me sooo much of my beloved Meatloaf, LOVE YA!!!

[chrissept21]

im so damn glad this man is canadian!!!!!

[spencermon]

again.... WOW ..... love it!!!!

[chrissept21]

where is this in halifax??

[techy72]

At Dalhousie University in Halifax.

[lilyfathersjoy]

I don't even like "O Holy Night" and this guy blew me away at the National Arts Centre last night. Loved his duet with his mum. And this song. Whew. Thanks for posting it.

[SkierGaits]

he is an amazing performer and im expecting to see him make it big time.

he has the talent no questions asked

[chrissept21]

its not about talent any more tho

do you really think lil wayne has tallent NOPE he got money and he knows the right people

[wedonotseethings]

I saw Matt in Kitchener last week...he totally brought me to tears with this song...it was an amazing experience to hear him perform

[Irene00007]

This guy had me wiping my eyes with his performance at the International Blues Competition in Memphis (IBC) and HE WON FIRST PLACE in the solo/duo acts. I wiped my eyes at his performance-he received a standing ovation at the Orpheum Theater. I'm so proud to be Canadian!! Had he not won, I would have written off the IBC forever but, this event has proven to be THE place to discover real talent. Matt deserved to be there and be discovered! I love the IBC and I found a new love - Matt Andersen...

[dogrednow]

Saw him last night at the NAC

WOW !!!!!

[sleazysea]

Saw this tonight at the National Art Centre in Ottawa. It was an amazing show with his parents in the audience. Stuart announced it was his (Matt's) dad's first time on a plane and he gave a breathtaking performance leading to a standing ovation. What a show with Stuart McLean, Matt Anderson and Jill Barber in the nation's capital!

[cochchlo707]

i saw matt last night in kitchener, ON. he has one of the most amazing voices i've ever heard. what a blessing to hear him

[jrl810]

I saw Matt last night in Saskatoon. With his first song, I was blown away by his voice. He received a standing ovation for that song. But when he began to sing O Holy Night, I started crying (and I was in the front row)...the power of his voice combined with the words was definitely a magical moment. Wow.

Please please please post a video of his O Holy night performance if you can do so. I wouldn't mind reliving that moment over again :-)

[26November1966]

Yes, we went to Regina monday night for another terrific Vinyl Cafe show. Jill Barber was fine and then BOOM Matt Anderson brought the house down with this song. He later sang O Holy Night. I'll bet my last dollar ( I'm broke anyway ) that next to no one in the sold out crowd of 2,000 had heard of Matt but on both songs he had to come out for a second bow because of the crowd's response. Stuart McLean strikes again. Exposing us to someone we've never heard of before but now will never forget.

[willowmansdaughter]

That sounds exactly like what happened here in T.O. this afternoon. After Matt was called out for a second bow after this song, Stuart remarked, "I don't know what to say after that, except that I'm sure, as the show goes on, he'll warm up a little and be ready to give it his all." :)

Convocation Hall is probably still shuddering from the standing ovation following 'O Holy Night.' What a breathtaking talent this man is.

[KiyoshiProductions]

I saw this last night in Regina Sk. This guy is amazing! WELL WORTH THE MONEY SPENT TO SEE

[craigger09]

where can you buy his Christmas stuff... O holy Night... His Rudolph song... want it all. Talented fella, with grounded roots!

Merry Christmas!

[JamieDanielMyers]

He is one of those special ones who is way better to see live than listen to a recording. Great Job Matt!

[jayem80]

Matt was amazing in Calgary. Desperately looking for a video/audio recording of his O Holy Night song from the shows.

[techy72]

Keep your fingers crossed... I may be able to accomidate you with that request, as long as Matt is ok with it!

[ryangregohara]

@jayem80 He is recording a Christmas album with it on it.

[phyrphli]

i just saw him in Edmonton with Stuart McLean. He is AMAZING! I also felt bad for the other musician, everyone LOVED him! He has a great voice. After the show I saw him and told him how amazing he was, and he touched my shoulder. LOL. Then he signed my CD I bought, This is by far my favotire song on the CD. He has a wonderful, loud voice. It honestly gave me goosebumps!

[cpscdave]

Saw him in Calgary with Stuart McLean. Again he just absolutely blew everyone away. I honestly felt bad for the other musicians cause none of them got close to the reaction he got. Amazing!

[drmJB23]

saw him do this last night in vancouver - same show with stuart mclean - tore the house down - i like it when he stands up to play - good sound quality on this video - good image quality too- would have maybe shot more of it with a tighter frame - good job though - steady hand

[techy72]

I do what I can... I shot the video from the lighting booth. I'm the Lighting Designer for Stuart's shows! I just do what I can!

[drmJB23]

great job under the circumstances - thanks for putting this up

[ChadRylan]

Amazing!!! 10 thumbs up!!!!

[TEAM11TEAM11]

Good song....had the link sent to me by someone i cared deeply for... it's too bad they didn't do the right thing for us. would have gone to the end of the earth to make her smile, think about her everyday. i never would have been gone. life simply won't be the same....

[jodimac4]

this song is amazing.. going to see him Friday, i can't wait!!!

[Slaps19]

i only heard of this guy the other from a friend who seen him live, wow is all i can say, i hope i get to see him live, amazing voice, come to newfoundland

[techy72]

I think he was just there!!!

[Slaps19]

damn, that means i missed him

[jenhatt120]

wow... truly amazing..

[randikash]

Awesome. Thanks so much.

[jebber5]

great stuff!

[chargerdan]

Why is this man not a superstar?

[trongers]

i know, how come there arent more people watching this. i love his stuff

[artichoke25]

I saw this guy at the Vancouver Island Music Festival last year & he's coming to the Vancouver Folk FEstival this year so I'm going to try to catch him again there. He's a FANTASTIC performer. Think male Janis Joplin.

[robertcfleming]

amazing, will be getting album!

[Mordanis]

Great song!

Doesn't look like what I thought he did though.

P.S. Vinyl Cafe rocks! Go Stuart McLean!

[PrincessLDG]

Awesome! Great voice!

[goofynewfie1970]

Great voice; great performance.
