Here are two playlists from last night’s performances.
From last night’s show:
“When David’s name was first announced and he walked out on stage, and everyone rose to their feet in love, adoration, respect and gratitude, well it was quite a moment. The evening was his and his alone, even though the other performances were entertaining and special, you knew the audience was waiting with bated breath (I know we five were) until David showed up on that stage again!!” ~Pattirae
“At the finale he looked at each of us and waved. He was situated at stage left and slowly walked across the entire stage to stage right and made a conscious effort to include us all. And yes, we did appreciate. :)” ~Dayzee
And to those fans who are lucky enough to go to tonight’s shows, have a great time! Be sure to let us know all about it in comments here.

This for Gladys:
When I settled in my seat today I remembered I was supposed to check the size of David’s hands for Gladys. And I fully intended to do so. But when he started to sing The First Noel I could not get past his face. And then it was Did You Hear What I Hear and the same thing happened. And Glorious once again. When he came out to sing Silent Night the lights shone on those massive fingers and I thought Yes Gladys, his hands are bigger than ever!! You always notice the David stuff. I tried to take a pic for you so you could see those hands from my viewpoint, but I was all fumbly and David would not let go of my eyes and so I could not focus. On anything.
After Silent Night I was flat out bawling. How embarrassing. FODonna gave me a hug and got me through that..
This was the show I had an extra ticket for because my granddaughter could not go, so I went by myself There were so many David friends it was no problem.. Tawna was there at the beginning and I looked for her after the show but she is so darned tiny I could not find her. She should wear hunter orange clothing. Shelley was a couple of seats down from me doing her ninja camera act. She is awesome. Oddity was there with family and friends.
We seem to have started a new tradition. When David is first introduced we all stand and wave.
My daughter is picking me up in a few minutes for tonight’s show. She does not know I have seen it twice already.
Hope I get home in time for Abrra’s special night of videos.

Dayzee, love your recap and so happy you are seeing David 3 times!! And I only wanted that one little ticket! 🙂 Just wait til 2015! 🙂 It really is fun to read all the recaps and see all the videos. I’m so thankful for the great fans that keep us informed.
I have be swamped with company and even had to work today. Last night, all the kids were gathered in the living room to watch the song-a-long version of Frozen and I decided to check my emails…I have seen the movie 3 times now…and I was blown away with the videos already coming in! I put my headphones on and went to heaven! I was in my own little world with the fabulous voice fulfilling my very soul!! Needless to say, my customers were treated today with his fantastic voice.

Pattirae, many thanks for your recap on the other thread. I really appreciated it! I had been wanting to know about the reception David was getting and had hoped it would be wonderful..and it is!
Djafan, like you my heart really hurt that I could not be there to support David on his return to the stage. I was actually telling my mother about this yesterday. Couldn’t believe I felt that tinge, but I did!
I was going to write this in the other thread, but I did notice the tailored suit! Looks new as the lapels are still very crisp and pointed! Must also note the black shoes with the red soles! Hahaha! David is stylin’ !!! To match the tie, I suppose? I was going to say he finally got a new belt, but then I read in the IG post that he just borrowed it! LOL.
Read that Kari and Gina are there – glad they can see our boy again in his element! Big plans for 2015, bring them on!

I think I spy David’s grandfather over his shoulder in that picture with Amber. Also, I’m a little confused. Is she calling David “little one”. That’s so precious if she is. They almost look enough alike to be twins, since he looks so young. I know she’s a lot younger, but there is a strong resemblence.

I got to attend last night and this afternoon. Today’s performance was better in all aspects (for all the performers and crew) than Fridays, in my opinion. They were smoother in the scenery changes, the people were all more relaxed, more open and at home with what they were doing. So all in all it was a great success. If that continues for Sat night, watch out, the roof just might blow off of SLC. ^_^
As for DA… Yes. Yes to everything you could ask. Yes to what all the videos show. The power, the delivery, the emotion, the control… Well, maybe not ALL the control he wants and will yet have, but enough control to power up a 747 and fly it through a couple thousand hearts, ( which inexplicably just keep beating).
More later. I am not good with recaps. Love what Pattirae said. It was so good to see her and all my road-trip buddies.
I am especially grateful to those who worked so hard to make sure that so many of you all could see the videos. You are amazing! Thank you! And to the admins for keeping things all up-dated.
Big hugs to all of you!!!

Don’t know what I can add to all the wonderful comments yesterday & so far today, except to say that the “Celebration of Faith” was indeed, just that. Everyone, who is hearing David this weekend, can’t help but feel truly blessed by his voice & spirit. This afternoon I felt so touched to witness his remarkable performance. It wouldn’t be fair to choose a favorite…each song is perfect in its own way. The humming at the end of TFN has always felt like a prayer to me. “Do You Hear What I Hear”?….well, that arrangement is so unique, almost haunting (& I just might be a new fan of Kevin Olasulo—he is a brilliant celloist & gave David a big hug after the finale today….hope they do something together in the future). Glorious was, well, ‘glorious’! Before singing “Silent Night”, David gave a sweet talk about being home, as only he can…he is still ‘that engaging David’ we all grew to love.. Then he sang another unbelievable “Silent Night”! The finale was emotional for me….Believe is a song I love & David, with the full background of singers, made us all believe in the what this Christmas season is all about!
What Pattierae said about David looking at each of them last night, as he walked off the stage, I think he did the same thing this afternoon. Sitting 8 rows back, I could still tell he was acknowledging those who love him. He received another standing O today, when 1st introduced….so deserving! There is no one like David. I really feel we have a lot to look forward to next year. A GLORIOUS time awaits all of us!

There’s nothing I can add about today’s show, except that I was there! As much as I hated to leave my daughter’s home yesterday, I’m feeling rewarded tonight. The Voice cannot be matched. And, I don’t think the talent that Kevin Olasulo possesses can be either. That man is good on the cello and with his boom beat. I just honestly will never hear DYHWIH the same again. David has given it a new life!
Thank you for the mp3’s Abrra.
I saw a lot of fans, but didn’t do much visiting. I was looking for you Bluesky, but never did see you. Where were you sitting? I saw you Dayzee from a distance after the show, but we kind of boogied out in a hurry and I never made it over to you. One of these times, we will have to get tickets and go together.
Oh, and to top the day off…… I have 10 new great-grand doggys…. my daughter’s black lab had her puppies today (I got the text during the show). It’s quite a pile of little black labs in the pic that she sent.

One other note. At Fri. performance I was sitting by my sister-in-law who was next to my brother, neither had seen DA live before. He did not perform in the first number, but came out alone on stage for the second to sing The First Noel with a live orchestra. (The orchestra was good. Several times durning the evening I forgot they were there and caught myself thinking that the singers were using recorded accompaniment.)
Anyway, Friday I could see how nervous DA was. Alone on the black stage, the orchestra hidden down below, spotlight on him with a new suit – the little white kerchief showing where his name tag used to be. Body stance was recognizable. I leaned over to my sister-in-law and said: “He sure looks like a missionary.” She chuckled and said: “Your brother just said the same thing!”
Although all his sets were amazing Friday, what I was really happy to see Sat, was his return to more nuanced hand movements, more ease in the spotlight, more purposeful moving around the stage with natural awareness, and using the space to connect with the audience. That “remembering” showed up in a more relaxed vocal delivery as well. He is no longer just another missionary who has come home: “The return of the Jedi” is closer to it.
I imagine Sat night was even better by the reports. Going to be a lovely DVD.

Thanks for sharing that. I did see some differences in his demeanor, his smiles, and his hand movements on the last videos. (HIs hand movements while performing are very telling) Maybe he’s slowly remembering what it was like to share his humor, his smiles, and his incredible voice with everyone out there. Seeing faces that I’m quite sure he knows travelled to see him has to have made an impression as well.
It does my heart good to see it. Maybe it’s done him some good to see “fans,” letting him know we are waiting in the wings to support him. And just maybe doing it for three consecutive shows in two days has helped him remember how much happiness he brings to fans from everywhere.
PS. The part about the pieces in the video in #33 (Thanks Anodrlurker!) is all kinds of Win! 🙂
PSS. Although I still want to muss his hair up a bit (Just teasing you guys LOL) I think he looked extremely good at the shows. More handsome than ever.
I have no doubt David’s star will rise. That talent can not be denied.

You’re right, MT, David’s talent cannot be denied. My friend and I were sitting in the middle of people that were there to see mainly David, but have been the ‘quiet’ admirers. They were blown away by his performances. David’s willingness to share his soul and spirit has created a fan base that will rival any star’s out there. He is making his comeback. As Bluesky said, the Jedi is returning. He is here to stay. The wait is coming to an end and it is so worth what we’ve waited for.

I wish you all could have been there for all three shows. There was a growth to be seen with each performance. The Saturday night finale was such fun! David was exuberant in his admiration and appreciation of the cello fellow Kevin and all of his coworkers. As Bluesky mentioned, the orchestra was invisible to us because they were in a pit beneath the stage. Every finale, David would walk to the front edge of the stage and lean down to give them recognition and thanks.
My daughter was with me Saturday night. When David was rambling about Christmas trees and pies I started giggling and my daughter nodded her head. She said, “Now I see why you say he communicates by song.

I mostly “listen” to David these past two years instead of watch him perform. I have been struck (again) how he interprets every word with his voice, his face and his body. He is making sure we understand, and you need to see him to fully “get” that. It was a joy to hear and see him again.
For me, the collaborations he is beginning to develop, are very exciting. I said earlier, a tour with Kevin Olusola and David would be incredible. I think he is the perfect partner for David; talented, young, joyful and well thought of in the music business. Things are heating up.

That said, I read that Kari said David was upset with himself on Saturday because he made a few mistakes! The man is really a perfectionist! He sounds sublime, but still thinks there is room for improvement. An artist with that kind of drive (and talent) can only shine brighter and brighter!

I would like to know from those who attended the concerts just how many were estimated to have attended percentage wise. The theatre has the capacity to hold 1,876. Was it 90% filled?
It seemed from what was being said, that the concerts were not sold out after his near three year absence from the stage. Perhaps folks from SLC can tell us why, as in the past he has had such tremendous support from there as from surrounding places such as Provo. We all know what a wonderful singer he is and there were people flying and driving in from out of town to enjoy his return to the stage so they indeed made up part of the audience. There could possibly have been a good number from BYU where he attends university.
Although it was “not a David concert”, he certainly starred in it.
Maybe people there are preferring to wait for another event that is happening this Christmas.

It seems to me that the concert was scheduled at a very busy time for people preparing for Thanksgiving and traveling home.
The schools are closed, so the students would have to be at home for the holiday. Also, David’s last concert in Utah, before leaving on his mission, had a lot of pop music mixed in with Christmas music, which would attract a wider audience. I’m sure that this concert would have been sold out if there had only been the Saturday night performance.

SB, I don’t have an estimate on attendance, but I know it wasn’t filled on the Sat. matinee. However, my honest opinion, just from listening to chatter around me, is that a very large percentage of the attendees were there to hear David. With the timing of the program, I can’t help but figure that that was a large reason for the smaller crowds. David was very well supported at these shows. Trust me.

When I downloaded Silent Night, it downloaded I Need a Silent Night. I double checked and it was labeled Silent Night (Shelly’s) on my computer music file, but transferred to iTunes as the other. Also, I received an alert from my antivirus program that it had blocked a site with malware. Now it won’t allow me into The Voice or Mediafire on my home computer!

I can assure you that neither this site nor my Mediafire account has any virus threat. We have no software other than what WordPress provides or advertising running here at The Voice. I make all the mp3’s myself and the files come directly from my home computer. They are scanned for viruses. I did a test download of that file and it was titled Silent Night as it should. I don’t know why you got a different title.
I don’t know what anti virus you have, but I do know that Norton ( and some others) are overly sensitive. Sometime a program will alert where it isn’t really necessary due to some setting it has. Such as when a site has flash plug-in ( which is a common tool) and the anti virus will freak out. Today I posted some.gif pictures in comment #62. Those are enough to set off alarms in some anti virus programs, but those pictures are safe. I can’t really explain why. I can only say both sites are safe. When I have a problem with a download from a KNOWN SAFE SITE. I disable the anti virus and do the download, then re enable it when I have what I want.
I have emailed the file you want to the email address you gave WordPress to register with. You can decide to open it or delete it.
If you have a tech you trust, I suggest you ask them for a more in depth explanation. Everyone should have a tech, before they need one 🙂

*Fingers crossed* for a Pentatonix collab! They have a best-selling album right now too! Even my friends were saying David should do a collab with them!
Also loving that a 2015 album was mentioned in the programme! Yeah!!!!

Abrra……Thanks so much for your help and explanation. We do have Norton antivirus so I think that is probably the problem. It has sent alerts on some other sites, but this was the first time it has happened here……and I’ve been checking in here daily since the site began. 😊 I was sure that the problem had to do with my computer in some way! I really appreciate all that you and the other moderators do each day to keep this great site up and humming and to keep us all informed and entertained!

Spirit and Abrra – I too have Norton protection, and had the same problem when I tried to download the performances from the concert. Glad to find out why.
Abrra, thank you for all you do to help those of us who are a little challenged technically (lol). You’re a gem.

Norton AntiVirus is the worst. That’s why I mentioned it. Chances are when false alarms go off, Norton is the reason.

How wonderful it is that through the magic of modern tech, all of you can see the expressions on his face (he does have a rather nice face) while he is singing.
It is as though he is telling us a story that just happens to be sung in stead of spoken. He narrates. I cannot always tell, however, if he is reading the script from his heart or mine. Probably from his. Why then, do I feel the imprint of the words?
Oh, you are magical yourself, DA.

Video #89…. yes, that’s the one that I heard also. Beautiful. That humming was so soothing. Let’s just say that it calmed me down after having my heart beat rambunctiously from the beginning note! To be in the same airspace as David again was taking its toll on my being. #ilivedthruit #davidsfirstconcert
I’m wondering…. how does David do all that he does? I want some of what he’s got (maybe it’s just called ‘youth’)!!

I thought from the other news that DA would just be singing with the MoTab and would not get to mix with these other peeps. So to see him with TPG and Peter Hollins, and to know he also got to mix with SuperTramp, Stuart Edge (again), and others. Sigh.
These people all have SO much experience with social media. DA is getting some good contacts, even if just to pick their brains. And I love it that they are getting to know him one on one.
*sigh*
I am happy. ^_^

Pretty sure the guy in the middle is Peter Hollens. He has done You Tube vids with Lindsey Stirling – that have a LOT of views. Here is a vid of him performing with Avi Kaplan – who also (with the cellist that played in the Christmas program with DA, you know?) is a member of Pentatonix.
And one with Lindsey Sterling:

Bluesky, to your point: with all these collaborations and meetings David’s had with the social media superstars and artists, Youtubers and now even Snapchat celebrities, I really hope they share their expertise with him and D can up his social media game! He has some pretty big social media stars with him — massive following. It’s like a crash course of the past 2 years he’s missed in terms of tech and social media. #DA2015 – it’s gonna be big!

Anodrlurker, Loving all the loving David is getting from these famous youtubers. Not only can he learn from them but also get exposure. I remember years back the wishing for David to collaborate with The Piano Guys, and it happened. I’ve subscribed to their youtube channel to make sure I don’t miss the unveiling of the music video.
Bluesky, It feels like the calm before the storm, though it hasn’t been very calm lol.

Bringing this over here too. Credit to Archugeezer for the find! Only wish David had a feature interview as well!
Peter Hollens talks about David for Deseret News article online:
“I have been wanting to actually be in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir my entire life, since I was a little dorky kid,” Hollens said. “So being able to be in a song with them is ridiculous. Obviously the Piano Guys are so amazing. I was just recording with David in his studio like two hours ago. That is one of the most talented, gracious, humble dudes ever. He is lovely and so talented. I absolutely adore all the people here.”

“He is lovely and so talented” Peter repeats what we have been saying for years. It looks so good in print.
I was at the Nativity scene. That is me on the very top row in the middle. It was interesting to me to see how they filmed the event. We had a shot that was taken from a camera held aloft by balloons. When the wind kicked up we had to stand around and wait for the camera to become steady.
Thanks to Abrra for the candy jar. I love having David in my car, singing these new treasures
