Runaway performed by Gary Allan at Fan Club Party at Rocketown on 6-9-09

Yes, the polyp was most likely the cause of him not being able to reach these notes.  Trust me, I'm a huge fan and know that he sounds like a million dollars ALL the time! He has had a full recovery and his voice is better than ever. The man can do no wrong in my eyes.

This used to be one of his best songs in concert.  I just read that he had surgery in 2010 to have a polyp romoved from his vocal chord. I had no idea of this, but googled it after hearing this version. This must be the reason he struggled with this song. Hopefully he'll have a full recovery because this guy has what is probably the best voice in country music since George Jones. Search his live version of this song from 06; it sounds like a million dollars.

@ChipNSC77 he may not sound the same as he did in '06 (or '07, which is when I got to hear him do this live at the WXTU anniversary show in Camden, NJ), but he still rocks it out. Hope he plans on doing a live CD with this on it somewhere down the road

[MVAW1]

he sometimes has that problem. i would think anyone that has gold pouring out of their mouth would have the same problem

[gmeraon]

wow he just killed this song i hope no one ever sees this video ever again

[rockncountryfan]

I didn't notice either coz I was looking at him, wished I coulda made the fanclub party, maybe next yr, tho I been a Keith Urban fan from the getgo and have never been to one of his...fixin to see Gary next weekend at Bayfest!!! Then New Orleans....love to see him and his singing ain't so bad either....lol..no really, he's great.

Yeah, he said that he had not done the song in a long time...he really didn't want to do it...did it cause it was requested by a fan :) FCP was SO cool.

[patsyfan1]

I enjoyed it. I love his version of this song.

[kimbob702]

I love the fact that he tried. He probably hadn't done that song live in years! At the end, he said he thought the guys would butcher it, not him! Still makes me laugh!

[kkuman]

LOVE IT and the fact that he says "that was ugly" at the end is classic!

[shepgafan]

BTW... Thanks for posting this.. Awesome video!!

[shepgafan]

I didn't notice him butchering it...I was too busy looking at him...LOL...

[DreaminDrifter]

[Deena1583]
