Subtle Changes ~ David Archuleta at Myrtle Beach
Posted by djafan on Monday, May 30, 2011
Recap by SB, SF, and Hooked
We arrived in Myrtle Beach with excitement and anticipation which quickly turned into cultural shock when we encountered thousands of motorcycles which had overtaken the streets of Myrtle Beach. But, that is a story of its own.
Our anticipation turned to fear and anxiety when we saw David’s tweets from LA while we were in Myrtle Beach. Why isn’t he coming? We decided to be positive as we knew David would eventually be here. We braved the motorcycle traffic to scope out the venue which made our anticipation even greater. We couldn’t quite believe that we would finally be seeing David on this very stage.
We woke up the day of the concert by his tweet telling us he is here. Knowing David’s fans quite well we decided to go to the venue and mark our spot. David’s fans were already there eight hours before showtime. After watching The Band do their sound check without David we decided to leave our chairs and get out of the heat for a while. We heard that he was visiting a hospital during this time.
When we came back the other performers had ended their sets and people started chanting…David, David, David. The Band came on first encouraging our chants until he finally ran up the steps and onto the stage.
He started with “Stomping the Roses” and from the first few notes we could soon hear he is slowly evolving with the most subtle of changes. His hair was blowing in the breeze. He remarked that it was the first time that he had performed so close to the ocean. It was so warm that after a few songs the humidity made his hair glisten with moisture and at one point he did a head whip that caused a spray of perspiration. He never stopped smiling from the moment he hit the stage until he suddenly left it.
It was brilliant the way he incorporated the band introduction into his performance of “Gotta Get Through This.” He allowed each band member to be in the spotlight. He looked as awed by their performances as the audience was of him. He also showed the audience just how proud he is to have a band of such caliber and talent.
It is the emotion and passion that highlights each of his own songs. The covers he did were nothing short of brilliant, totally leaving us in awe. His choice to sing “Rule the World” was he said, an appropriate song given the sign of the times and his rendition was fantastic. “Blackbird” showed us another dimension of his vocal genius. He raised the bar yet again.
His voice was clear and precisely where it needed to be and growly where he wanted it to be. His voice is deeper, stronger and richer than ever, even though he did not feel the need to drink from the familiar water bottle. It seemed all too soon that he was singing his last song. After he sang his encore “Crush” it was suddenly over.
As we were leaving we noticed the limo on the street behind the stage and a large group of fans waiting for him. David and his band were in a tent being treated to an array of food before he emerged smiling to sign autographs. While waiting for David, we spoke at length with the band members and showed our appreciation for the fabulous concert.
Like days of old, he went down the line, signed autographs and high-fived everyone as he ran back. Then David and The Band were whisked away in a white stretch limo. It was very impressive and gratifying to see David treated like a star by the organizers and the Myrtle Beach fans as he stepped into his new musical era.
Last night his fans let him know that he does not have to ever worry about just being a memory or nothing at all because after last night, he will always be in that good place. ♥

To the generous fans who worked to get us the Ustream (a special thanks to Trish0400 for holding her arm up through the whole concert for us!) and those who took videos and pics, uploading them as fast as possible because they knew all the fans were waiting, to those who sent tweets and e-mails, keeping us updated, to the Admins here and at the various sites who worked so hard (and do it every day) to get them up so quickly, to the wonderful commenters who shared the excitement, you are all gems ♥ Thank you so much!
For someone like me who has never been to a live concert, you can’t imagine how much I appreciate all that you guys do. ♥
SB, SF and Hooked, thank you for sharing and giving us a taste of what it was like to be there. I’m glad you guys had such a great time.
And to David, you were wonderful. Just keep doing what you do. We love it!

Thank you SB,SF and Hooked for your recap of a wonderful time together with David and his music. It is so fun to live the events, that we can’t attend, through the words that you attendees give to us.
Yes, the changes are subtle, but definitely there. If we hadn’t heard these songs so many times before(on repeat,repeat,repeat), we wouldn’t recognize the change-ups in the beat and style. It is great to see David moving in HIS direction, not being squelched by a record label that doesn’t get him or a contract. We are now in the process of re-learning who David Archuleta is and wants to become. “The times, they are a changin'” and we are in for more beautiful happenings that we can imagine. Bring it on! We are sooo ready!
Have a Happy Memorial Day!! God bless our veterans and soldiers (it’s cold and rainy here in Utah 😦 but I have to work, so it’s not raining on my parade or camping trip)

SB, SF and Hooked,
Thank you for bringing MB to us in your recap. Since David hasn’t been onstage performing in so long, this show was like a comeback of sorts. How gratifying it was to hear him sing songs from TOSOD again.
I’m curious how many people were there because it sounded like a huge crowd. Either that or a smaller crowd with huge voices! LOL
He wears this new phase well; his voice never sounded better. The falsettos in TMH, ALTNOY and Elevator seemed effortless! It was evident that David is in full charge of the band, giving them the look signifying the end of the song is near. And they didn’t start playing the song until The Boss was ready.
All of the old songs have new vibes and the new songs sound fresh! This band is a perfect match.
Hope you have a safe trip home!

I know I’m spamming but my afternoon nap is calling and I want to get this in before. Just want to say how grateful I am to all those who have fought and died to protect our freedoms and who still continue to do so every single day. I just watched my favorite movie, 12 O’Clock High. I know it’s a strange movie to be a favorite of a woman. I served 7 years in the army as a nurse and did two tours of duty overseas. These guys (and gals) will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you.
I also want to give a big thank you to SB, SF and Hooked for a great recap. They are without computer and wrote it on spare scraps of paper, then texted the entire article by phone. It never ceases to amaze me, the selfless acts of David’s fans who take on the burden of cellcasts, filming and uploading video and pics, and writing it down for all of us at home. You are heroes in my book too.

Rave review from Associated Content from Yahoo!!
by Pamela Pike
David’s music in its constantly evolving urgency and complexity invites even the casual listener to become obsessive. To listen to his live performances is to give in to the urge to compare them and parse their difference. His superlative stage presence appeals to all listeners. His audience leans close to listen for each distinctive qualities of his performance which is a rewarding experience.
He gave a rousing performance at Myrtle Beach Saturday night, one which allowed him to assume complete control of the assembled crowd as he moved across the stage. There was a certain amount of professionalism to the way in which he carried himself and the energy he brought to the performance was remarkable. It’s refreshing to watch how he ultimately pulled everything together to increase the intensity of his set even further.
He seemed to find new methods of interpreting songs, altering either the pace or his phrasing which lace his songs with a raw emotional edge. Is he seeking to further his crossover potential and expand his audience? He delivers the goods every single performance with potent emotional expressions. And when David sings a line, for that moment anyway, you know that he means it with every ounce of sweat coming off his brow.
David is just one of the most fantastic, natural sounding singers. He doesn’t try to articulate like anybody else, he is himself. He can slowdown and elaborate a piece, morphing it to a dramatic performance, and then David can stomp on the accelerator and rip through it like a locomotive.
David is backed by a band that is as tight as a well oiled machine. These guys play it like they mean it.
It was a memorable night; it was just the joy of music, the joy of rhythm, the joy of energy. It was the joy of David Archuleta.

The best I could do was type and add my 2 cents occasionally!!
We started writing on the beach then moved on to a restaurant and finished it back at the hotel…by midnight the words were finally flowing into being a story.
Angelica, I adore the pictures with writings. The lead picture will be a favorite of mine.
So there is immense happiness for David, sadness a little in not knowing when he wilm have a full concert and dismay at the posters elsewhere who choose to criticize the most wonderful singer I have ever known.
I am so pleased to be a part of this site.

Thank you for taking us there and getting a glimpse of what it was to be there. The videos show that David is definitely in a good place but we all know that David live is an all senses experience and it helps that so many fans are so willing to share with us through video, tweets, recaps and lovely pictures.
It’s also great to hear that there was a huge crowd, some estimates are 3,000 plus, it sure sounded like it. And the fact that he received such a positive reception from the crowd and the deserved treatment from the organizers makes me squeee! David deserves the best.
David tweeted to remind us that today is a day to give thanks to those that sacrifice so much for others, sometimes the ultimate sacrifice so that we may benefit. Angelica, thank you for your service and to all who have served. Jenny from FOD made a tribute video in remembrance of today with David’s glorious voice.

Good morning!
My flight landed about 10pm last night. Only the plane touched the ground cuz I’m STILL flying high and have not yet come down from the experience of seeing David on stage again!
Trying to get on paper the experience of seeing David’s growth, the vocal brilliance and the subtle changes which were so evident, is both easy and very difficult at the same time. Easy because there’s so much to say and express. Difficult because once the words start to flow, the realization that even with all the videos which show some of what is conveyed in a recap, in reality…YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE!
We love David. We admire David. We want the best for him as we do for all those we care about. We are grateful to David for the happiness he brings to our lives. We are inspired by his kind, generous & compassionate spirit. We are spellbound by the beautiful man he is, inside & out. We are amazed by David’s immense talent.
But at the end of the day, David can’t seem to please everyone all of the time. He is not a PERFECT human being (although he comes darn close) and he would be the first to admit to any faults he may have (I guess he has some?). A few fans, whether they have ever seen David perform live or not, could not see the subtle changes and growth WE saw in MB. OK then, Duh..David is using his head, going slow in introducing his new direction to his fans, one subtle step at a time while still being the David we have come to love on stage. David knows he has fans, especially young fans, who still want to hear his own songs, who still want to see David The POP SINGER on stage. He is going towards a more mature sound which was obvious with his choice of including Gotta Get Through This and especially Everybody Wants To Rule The World & Blackbird in his repertoire. He knows this transition should be slow & subtle
but it is there. He will do the same thing in Asia, I think. His Asian fans want to see the David they are familiar with, while introducing hints of where he is headed musically.
Seems this is David’s cross to bare as it is with all those who are immensely talented…higher, unreasonable expectations from those who will never be satisfied anyway. And of course, this is a free country & so they are entitled to their opinions. Even if they are so wrong. 😉
As for my sis Hooked, my very good friend Sandy Beaches and myself, David was exactly, no..he exceeded our expectations in MB. Not even the 300,000 bikers could put a damper on our experience. He was quite simply, Perfection.

So I see it seems he could be in Nashville already, or is he on his way to Nashville as his tweet is not really clear? Looks like he’s going to do some writing and IMO, some recording in Nashville. He hints in the interview video he is hoping to take his time & do it right this time instead of being rushed & trying to meets other’s expectations. What does that mean? Taking his time? I think he’s keeping his options open. If things go as he hopes in Nashville, he may stay for an extended period. I hope so because unlike LA, the pace and atmosphere in Nashville is slower and ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC. It is the perfect place for David to write, musically, what’s on his mind and it seems there is a lot he wants to say. The covers he chooses are not random. He chooses them for their lyrical content and if the new covers he has done
lately are any indication of where his mind is, I think we will see some great new & different music coming from David this next time around.
The three of us, SB, Hooked & I spoke at with a member of David’s staff who told us the evolution & transition David is going through is deliberate and inevitable. We were told they are glad David’s fans can see, “get” and are happy to see David going with a more mature sound.
David has always been a mature musically compared to other singers his age. We have seen him transform before our eyes when he’s on stage from a shy, young man to a very confident seasoned performer with vocals of someone much older & more mature. It’s a mystery and unexplainable. To hear & see David on stage singing the type of music which enhances and compliments his vocal abilities, which allows him to tell us his how he’s feeling about life, the joys & the injustices, the highs & lows as he sees & feels life…I think will be like being in total blissful abandon.
One more thing I must admit…and I know I will be in the minority as I usually am when I disagree with the majority..huh, what?
Anyway, I do not like the name “Archuband” for THE BAND. Just don’t. Sorry. But I guess THE BAND does?

The stage was set in a huge field, I would say a little larger than a football field. When David came on, we were pretty much at the foot and to the left of the stage and looking back to the sea of people and the wonder-wall of stars (ahem), I could not see where the sea of people ended. The estimates are somewhere in the range of 3000 people there for just the concert and not counting the ones who stopped on the streets to listen…as they just could not help themselves! 😀
Kizzi..there will definitely be a next time, maybe not until later this year, but whenever, wherever, however..we, my two partners in crime & I will be there and I hope to see you then too!
Oh Betsy..thank you! I really just like it simple…THE BAND, capitalized of course, is my cuppa. THE BAND, my gosh, what a great group of talented young guys. It’s overwhelming when you stop & think of the stage with these guys, all musical geniuses in their own right, with DAVID at the helm. It’s just too much. 😀

Silverfox,
So good to hear from you today! I can feel the joy in your words! Many of us ‘back home’ are on that cloud too but we only saw the show on youtube. One can only imagine how you must be feeling!
Subtle changes galore! If you’ve been a fan from the beginning you’ll see them…the maturity, the gutsy lyrics, the confidence, the choice of songs, the interpretation, the choice of professional musicians to back him up.
But it’s not humanly possible to please everyone and I hope David has learned this by now. It doesn’t matter to me what direction he takes as long as it’s one he chooses himself and he continues making music. I trust his decisions.
By the way, it seems that David arrived in Nashville last night as I saw some tweets about it. I know we can’t believe everything we read on the web but for anyone who’s curious:
david archuleta is at sweet cici’s in hendersonville? what is going on? about 16 hours ago
@Nellie1983 hahah yes, tennessee. & it’s allll good! about 15 hours ago
i hope he doesn’t get swamped by fangirls now. sorry, david. hahaha. about 15 hours ago
@diana_maros …my friend saw him there like 45 minutes agooo. about 15 hours ago
For the record, I don’t like the name Archuband either. I think it was just made up spur of the moment all in good fun during a Steven Robinson(percussionist) Twitter party. I don’t think it’s meant to be taken seriously.

Well, this is interesting. I’m confused though as to WHY? This was posted on Archuleta FanScene..
“David Archuleta will participate in a special book signing outside the BYU bookstore on Saturday, June 4, from 1pm-2:30pm. This is your chance to meet David before he performs at Stadium of Fire on July 2!”
So this means he’ll be in Nashville for three days????????
What can he possibly do in that time…except maybe sign a label contract, perhaps?? He said he was having meetings while in Nashville didn’t he?
I’m confused but I guess it goes to show I should never try to second guess David & what he’s up to. 😉
Time for a nap. So nice being off today! Bye for now.

All very interesting comments this afternoon and yes Abrra, the admins. here always have a positive attitude towards David and I appreciate that in itself.
You know the VIPs always sell out very quickly and it will happen for every concert everywhere that he sings, that’s a given.
Yes, it is nice that David is singing in Asia and they are excited and will enjoy his concerts. So turn the page now that we have said that and I am getting to something. David is appearing in Provo and I understand that there are a few fans we know of who will be attending. He is only on for about 1/2 hour but it will be a very good concert. Now turn the page again so that from now until then in Provo and Asis we think perhaps about something like this…The fans in North America would love to attend David’s concerts but so far there are no concerts planned. We the fans need to express ourselves in wanting concerts so that David knows that. After all he is the one who sings “Good Place” and he does not know the extent of his fanbase here at this time.
If I had not been to MB perhaps I would not be writing this but I wanted to get the feel while there for not only now but the months to come. In reality, somehow the fans in North America have not responded enough over the last several months to warrant a concert or two this summer. Is there possibly something that we can do to change that?

All in due time. David is reorganizing his career. With so many changes taking place in just the business end, he needs time to get his foundation set.
He still can’t walk the street without meeting a fan, can he? 🙂

This is a good sign.
We fans have assured him we will be there to support him. Fan sites are as busy as ever, despite the lack of a formal tour. Take a minute and think back to the fan book that was given to him in December? He knows we will be with him through all these growing pains.

So many videos and eye treat from MB, so little time, but somehow I manage to get lost in all of them over and over again. I love the fact that Davids fans who got to attend this wonderful David feast, always make sure the family eats too. So many goodies were shared from this “meal’ BURP! (scuse’me)
56. SB, not quite sure what you mean about doing something? in your last paragraph. whatcha thinkin about?
57, abrra…
“All in due time. David is reorganizing his career. With so many changes taking place in just the business end, he needs time to get his foundation set.”
I agree.
the last thing David or those around him should be concerned with is his fan base. He has been assured by us again and again that we miss him, support him and will be there when he decides he is ready to do a US tour again. I would love to see a few appearances here and there,and seems that could happen late in the year.
I mean, here,up pops a book signing in a few days!…
I think it’s quite possible that for the first time in his young 20 years, he feels as though he is in charge of his time,his talent, and what he does, and does not want to do.I get the feeling that he has been told for a very, very, long time, how, when and why he should perform his music. Albeit with good intentions,he experienced the ‘spotlight’ when only 6 years old.
I think he is finally getting David back now.Just look at his face in that interview in M.B. and what he has to say.
In my humble opinion…. He looks calmer and more beautiful and focused than I have seen EVER seen him look before.EVER>
and by the way…
It is hypnotizing me!haha
ok, I never took Archuband seriously, thought it was just a cute nickname amongst the archies, ie archudrought,archuworld and all the other things we have come up with over the years.haha! If Steven likes Archuband, he would love those.
ok, done babbling like a brook,

Sky…You are so right, Archuband is cute and he is way beyond cute now and is grown up musically beyond the age of 20. Sometimes we seem to want to hold on to the cute side of David, but I don’t know why some can’t let it go. He mentioned the winners of American Idol once again during his concert, as ‘the teenagers’ obviously distancing himself from being a teenager and it is a gentle reminder from him that he is 20 and loving it. Good bye to the teen years in other words.
It has been said that he is moving away from pop music of the younger style, to the more adult style. It is like comparing the early works of the Beatles singing ‘Please Mr. Postman’ to ‘You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away’ or even to ‘Blackbird’. Just like the Beatles did during their careers, David is looking for new influences and new directions.
The lead picture of this article which was created by Angelica, is the most quiet, artistic admission of the more mature side of David anywhere on the internet. She sees him, she gets him so to speak. If you do a study of the picture together with the ‘words’ of the song ‘Blackbird’ you will see what I mean.

Hi all
It has been a while since I have said my 2 cents. I have been busy with family stuff and dealing with a cold that loves me too much.
A big, huge thank you to all of you that have been keeping all of us “filled up” with wonderful good stuff; be it recaps, videos, posts, pictures, it goes on and on. I do know, you know, how much it is appreciated.
I wanted to add my thoughts about the “evolving” David. I just wanted to say I am loving his jazzier, mature sound. It allows him the improvisations that show case his amazing musicality. I also wanted to say, I also appreciate the evolving of the simpler, more minimalist David. Randy was wrong, of course :). He encouraged him to throw in more runs, etc. I think David is really tuning in to the concept that less can be more. By simplifying, (such as in Blackbird and his latest NAs), the beauty of his voice shines through,and the lyrics can be appreciated. It just makes me sigh and think, “That was perfection”.
One more penny’s worth of comments. All the talk about negativity. I hope everyone can just let it go. I have seen nothing from any fan that doesn’t come from a place of caring and concern for David and his career. We all, of course, have different ideas for him. David will find his way, even with us, and perhaps inspite of us, giving lots of advice.
Thanks again to all of you. You always make my day.

Others have background dancers, but David has people drawn to him so strongly that background dancers would just get in his way.

David is one of 100 honorees for his philanthropic efforts in the fight against cancer!
“Mass General honors 100 individuals and groups for their diverse contributions to the fight against cancer.
There is strength in numbers and Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center proves this each year. the one hundred is the Cancer Center’s annual fundraiser, honoring 100 individuals and groups whose diligence and discoveries, philanthropy and passion have helped advance the fight against cancer. Funds raised at the gala support research, patient care, education and community outreach programs. Meet the Honorees.
In 2008, 18-year-old “American Idol” sensation David Archuleta won 44 percent of the audience’s 97 million votes.
Since then, the young pop singer and songwriter has been turning out hits. But he’s also been using his talents in other ways. Cancer has repeatedly touched David’s relatives, and while some of his family members are survivors, others have succumbed to the disease.
David participates in the televised fundraiser, “Stand Up To Cancer” (SU2C) as a performer and phone pledge-taker. He has also been a creative fundraiser on his own. Since 2008, his “David Archuleta’s Angels: Crush Kids’ Cancer” has raised more than $66,000 for SU2C. He also led a top-40 radio station’s campaign that engaged schools in raising pennies for breast cancer research and visited the winning school.
Whether performing to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation or starring in Kaleidoscope on Ice — a celebration for cancer survivors — David is acting on his faith in the power of people to help each other, even when confronting the challenges of cancer.”

“Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,
Blackbird fly, into the light of the dark black night.”

And you SB, also see him and get him as a 20 year old, as David gently in his own way, reminds us is no longer a teenager. 🙂
emmegirl’s quote..”There is so much talent there, he hardly knows what to do with it”.
That’s David alright! And after seeing David in MB, I do believe he will know soon enough exactly what to do with it.
In MB, after all the spazzing & gushing over David’s videos & photos are said & done, what we have left is an artist who is finally coming into his own. It may seen crazy to say that since he’s accomplished so much since AI, but nevertheless, it’s true. It’s not my imagination or wishful thinking, or me wanting it to be true. And I don’t believe David woke up one morning & decided, “Today, I’m going to evolve”. David is not being anything but himself. The evolution is inevitable. But it’s not recent. I believe it started last year even before MOTAB. He felt it. He knew it. He did something about it. The deliberate transition began with the decision to split from the label. He could have stayed and evolved instead into what the label & ex-mgrs wanted him to be. That would have been what a lesser artist would have done because of course it’s all about the money. I believe David has made every decision with a deliberate plan & goal in mind and it’s not about fame & fortune which his fans have always believed of David. He knew he was risking the loss of some fans along the way, but just as we believe in David & his talent, he also trusts & believes in his fans.
The David we saw in MB was just a small taste of what David has been doing & working on for the last 5 months. The artist we saw on stage, while still showing shades of the pop singer, there was something else we had seen hints of in David’s previous concerts. We always knew he was destined to be something more than just a pop singer. We’ve seen proof of it so many times. David’s ability to sing any song and make it his own, make it better than the original. There are only a handful of singers who have that ability, so I’ve heard but can’t think of any others.
I know I’m rambling here, but I want so much for The Voice family to know the truth and that is that there’s a new man in town & his name is David Archuleta.

What a comment and yes! yes! to everything you said. We’ve been watching him for three years and we have seen glimpses of David the artist many times, Angelica has and does an amazing job of capturing those moments in pictures and video, but this last sentence sent a shiver up and down my spine.
David himself is embracing the man, not only on stage but when speaking. I’ve noticed he calls others teens where as before he always made reference to being a teenager himself, not anymore.
I believe that because David has always liked message songs the songs he chooses to cover are exactly that, a message to his fans and to whoever is willing to “listen” to what he has to say and he is saying it loud and clear.
