David Cook, Anodyne, Wartburg, 2.23.09

[anders4life]

I was there! =D that was a cool concert.

[DsnyDreamer]

Thank you for posting! I so miss hearing DC sing this. Sigh.

[VerballyDyslexic]

I love Anodyne! My favourite part of the song is the verse after the first chorus. The way the song builds... *shivers*

Dave sounds good singing Anodyne but to me it's Andy's to sing. Mr. Skib hits the lower register better than Mr. Cook.

Anyhoo, love the lighting effect on the Glowy One. Neal is an awesome songwriter.

[maggiemaeking]

That was absolutely beautiful! Love it!

[taytape]

wow. i love this song..it gives me goosebumps.

look up the lyrics, they amazed me.

just..wow..

i really want to hear this in a studio version

[hunters627]

Wow! No kidding - that was amazing. No apologies necessary since the end was worth it all!!

[ealo11]

After all the raving at davidcookofficial about this song, I had to come here and hear it. It is fantastic. David apparently can sing anything and make it great. The lighting on Neal was gorgeous.

[WoodyJo7]

Thanks for sharing so that we could experience this! I've heard Andy sing Anodyne 100+ times, but I like Dave's version too. A great song, well done. Thanks, Neal!

[tierbee]

Oh, I LOVE this song! It sounds amazing with David singing it... more haunting, I think. I love the MWK version too, it gets a lot of play on my iPod. But this is great... wish I'd been there!

[rainpetals]

Thank you soo much for this!!!!

Love the lighting effect on Neal.

[chestnutiscute]

this is my favorite song by MWK :D i've been dying to hear this, thank you thank you thank youuuuuu!

[DsnyDreamer]

Thank you so much! It was hard waiting for them to finally do this. It must have been a thrill to see.

Loved the light behind Neal at the end.

[LMM2856]

Where can I find the lyrics to this?

[Bexley]

Just google Anodyne MWK - that's how I found them!

[LMM2856]

Thanks Bexley.

[LMM2856]

Wow-David's voice is spectacular on this. He is in a league of his own. Beautiful and full of emotion.

[CookieLove1983]

I love love love this song! Especially with Dave singing lead...amazing!

[farmgirl59]

Sounds different with David singing it--different guys, different sounds--both incredibly talented. Thanks for posting this.

[CooKie251975]

Goosebumps.Amazing song,amazing voice.Amazing audio...TQ for posting

[KazMiller007]

Thanks so much for this ..... sound is amazing!

[ealo11]

This may sound like a dumb question, but, what is the point of not allowing video at the shows? Someone always always gets it anyway but we would see better quality if they would allow it.

[adrithekiller]

I got very emotional watching/hearing this... This is my favorite MWK song along with Railway Reality... Also this is the first time I hear it played live as it is, not acoustic as Andy uses to do it in his To Have Heroes gigs. Some months ago, I had a dream I was seeing David sing this song, but I never ever thought this would happen, until I learned they were doing it at soundchecks. How I wish I had been there.......... =')

[spunsugar7]

looove the lighting effect on neal!

[spunsugar7]

woo camera spies ftw!

[francescalittle]

The vocals are unbelievable in this song! I love the lighting effect too.

[ydonturockher]

Thank God for our camera spies! We're

everywhere!!

[wehoscott]

Did you all know that David co-wrote this with Dr.?

[klmcarl]

WOW, I love this song. First time to hear it. I am just floored.

[piperzila]

LOVED !!!!

[krunkjess]

ps...sound is amazing...just to be able to see any of it is great...so thank you! :)

[JamesPadfoot]

I'm thinking Neal actually reads the WNH because of the super glowy effect here, lol. Also, thank you so much for this. Heard the camera Nazi's were out in full force. So thanks.

And David did this well, really, but I'm so ingrained with Andy that is just feels a bit odd.... Still, loved that the MWK songs are getting out there, one way or another.

[kturbs23]

I absolutely agree. Still not 100% on board with David singing it but he no doubt did it justice!

[natt2rn]

he sounds bono of U2 , in this song

[lizkdc]

I love this song. Loved it on MWK's record and love the next evolution here. It's got drama, it's got power, it's got heartbreak. Never tired of this. Also: drama light on Neal!

[smacri]

Woooooow. That was amazing.

It makes me a little sad that Andy's not doing it, I'd LOVE to hear Andy do it. :(

But David was amazing <3

[pweller7]

Thank You for this!! This song is hauntingly beautiful!

[bear22898]

Thank you so much for getting video of this! There were so many of us hoping someone would manage to fight off the camera Nazis and catch this moment! THANK YOU!

[SaucyAussieCookFan]

Thank you sooo much for getting this. We don't care about how it looks, we were just dying for someone to get it so we coul hear it, that's all that matters, so thanks :) :)

~Steph

[smacri]

Yeah same. I just wanted audio. Am now listening to it over and over. :)

[sraymond29]

As much as I love Andy, and the work of MWK. This song is so different with Dave at lead and this awesome band full of massive talent. Wow. This proves how well these guys have melded together. They can make their own song better. This isn't my favorite MWK song, but I love this.

[annettefordavid]

Awesome - thanks for capturing that.

[rrprieto]

Thank you so much for posting. It must have been difficult to get any video of this show from what I've heard. David sounds amazing. So does the band.

[SonnyZeeb]

So very, very good.....

Anodyne

Thank you for getting (I know it wasn't easy) and sharing this

[mimwold]

Hes amazing (: Actually the whole band is... but you get the idea.

[DowneyUnder]

Wow, that was amazing.

[samaradp]

[hoaloha1]
