Good grief! How did I miss this? Best recording ever of David doing this
song. My headphones just melted. Pre-Order his new record now at the usual
places, plus special packages at PledgeMusic.
David Cook is my favorite artist. I love his voice, and I love the way he
sings his songs with meaning. I might be an older lady, but he melts my
heart.
Videographers take note - see those few seconds AFTER the song? PRICELESS!
Thanks so much for NOT stopping your camera too soon. Those seconds often
tell so much about what is going through David Cook's mind. The audio file
is easy to edit if you want an MP3 without these later -- but they
dramatically increase the quality of a VID of a live performance. YEH!
@SpearWarrior671 The Cars; the late Benjamin Orr their bass player some
other footage on YouTube showing him singing this live. The original video
featured Rick Ocasik's wife Paulina. Great cover by David Cook, who seems
to be one of the best cover AND original artists I've heard in 40 years
David's version of this song is so hauntingly beautiful! I can't stop
listening to it. BTW, the quality of this video is excellent - thank you
for sharing! And, God, how I love that man's laugh and smile...*sigh*
Still remember being at this front and center and the mouth hanging open
when he started singing this Cars song. It was fantastic and I will never
forget it.
I may or may not be responsible for 600 of those 726 views ;) This is THE
best video from petapalooza and what beautiful performance. I'm addicted to
it.
This is fantastic!! It just amazes me (still - you'd think I'd learn by
now) how incredible his voice is, and how he can completely draw you into
the emotion of a song. Just beautiful! "Oh boy" ... he's so flippin' cute!
Thanks for posting!
I am always astounded too. How many times can I be amazed ? Just always
happens when I hear his voice backed by stripped down music. Chills and
Smiles.
David Cook "Drive", Acoustic (The Cars/Cover) @Pet-a-Palooza, Las Vegas 4.9.11
Sorry 'bout a little wind interference . . . at the beginning. This performance was absolutely incredible! And this song showcases David's, pure beatuiful vocals ...
I love this, but David can sing anything and I'd love it, because I love
The Voice! And the icing on the Cookie is that he is a beautiful man,
inside and out. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful vids with us.
I get totally lost in his performances, and for those moments all the awful
rl stuff fades away.
I love Davids phrasing....major chills....this is one of my favorite Cars
songs and "Mr King" of the covers worked his magic once again. His voice is
like no other, draws you in and keeps you there. I'm a fan for life!!!!
Love his Rolling in the deep cover even more.
I love the inflection in David's voice when he sings "scream" at 1:55 and
"wrong" at 3:36 and the deep richness of his voice in other places like on
the word "tonight" a lot. His version of this song is so amazing, haunting,
beautiful, and now a favorite for me!
Wow! David is the King of covers! He can cover like the worst song ever and
make me love it, cos his voice is just perfection. If he released an album
of him singing the alphabet I would seriously rush to the shop to buy it!
Anyways brilliant cover as always.
This is gorgeous. I've only seen David once in concert (on tour with The
Script), and the acoustics for our seats were awful! Love David, and love
The Script, but we could only hear the drummers. So...I live vicariously
through the videos of others. ;-)
This song really pulls at the heartstrings and David did an excellent job
covering it. It was funny when the dog barked...broke his intensity. Have
to say too, I'm lovin' those pantz! Looking good, Mr. Cook, as always ;)
@wehoscott Wow! you're fast! I agree that this is a perfect cover for David
- It was really,really beautiful . . .even with the wind and the Dogs
singing along : ) This was a perfect day! I've missed this "Voice" Live!
Is there any way I can get a copy of all of your videos from the
Pet-A-Polozza show you did a great job shooting.....I love DC and it is
great to see him perform again!!! Thanks, Caren [email protected]
Great audio - great voice, great song, great day! Who'd a thunk we'd get a
treat like this at an outdoor charity event with ANIMALS present, lol.
Thanks so much!
I LOVE Dave's version of this song. He puts so much emotion into the song.
You can clearly see around 3:50 as he just plays the guitar, his emotions
are on high. I'm glad the dogs started barking and forced him to laugh. It
seems he needed that laughter to take his mind of the words in the song. I
just love to see his emotional side - it is very, very special and
endearing. I LOVE YOU DAVE
Wow, David's version of this song is a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I get serious
goosebumps listening to him sing this. I hope he continues to perform this
one on the tour, along with Rolling in the Deep, b/c I will def be seeing
him when he goes on tour with the new album this summer!
I usually like videos where I can at least see the guitar playing, but
THIS? Just perfect! Thank you for catching the emotion. Also, I love how
quickly he recovers from the laughter of the dog barking. Not professional?
Are you crazy Mr. Cook? You're THE pro.
man I wish I could get this single! it's so amazing. The video here is
awesome too. I agree with other comments that I love watching David sing
and seeing his emotion. The smile when the dog is barking too is adorable.
Could watch this again and again.
have I already told you how amazingly beautiful this video is. You captured
David's true essence. It 's why I love him and his music so much. Thank you
from the bottom of my heart for capturing this. Truly one of my favorite
videos ever taken of him.
@Cooksongrl .....and I live on the wrong side of the world. why does the
fun occur far away from me? *sniff sniff* still, I'll be a fan for eternity
cause THE VOICE is one in a million!! =)
Has an MP-3 been made from this video? Love the audio quality here. I hope
Dave does Drive and RITD at another gig so we can get video/audo without
tech problems/barking dogs. lol
WOW!! BEAUTIFUL! I had chills just hearing this in UStream , but you made
me feel like I was right there,and NOW I'm crying! Thank you again sooo
much!
Thanks for this wonderful video!!! 'amost' like being there! Dubs is soooo
cute!! He did such a niiiiiiice job w/this! (David, that is, not Dublin) ;-D
Lovely, lovely, lovely. So glad to have another quiet-mood cover song from
David that he apparently likes and that will fit into so many possible
performance situations. This promises to be the TWIK of the next tour
(unless there's another on the new record!). Thanks for posting this!
