David Cook – More Acoustic Performances!
David Cook and guitarist Neal Tiemann, not only performed some beautiful acoustic tunes at yesterday’s big Christmas at Rockefeller Center special, but also managed to squeeze in a stop at Sirius Satellite radio where they sang acoustic versions of “Light On” and “Life on the Moon”.
Lucky New Yorkers got to see two performance, as the local NBC New York affiliate expanded coverage of the Rockefeller ceremony. They not only saw David and Neal perform “Happy Christmas (War is Over) but were able to hear David and Neil’s beautiful acoustic rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

The third guy looked like Joey Clement to me. I love David but thought his voice sounded a little strained in the two Sirius videos. He has had a bad cold. It has to be hard to perform when you aren’t feeling up to par.
I’ll be in Orlando also for the show at the HOB-I spoke to them today and the venue holds 2100 people if sold out. They are also very strict on no cameras and videos and someone said they will even do a metal search. They did say you can use your camera phone.
*adds acoustic LOTM to iPod*
Lovely. The “here are my terms” line always gets me, and it’s even more potent in this acoustic version.
I hope someone can record the concert somehow. Colbie Caillait and David together has been one of my dream duets. It should be a great show for those of you who can go!
Xmas songs are not for Cook, IMO…sorry.
I still can’t quite believe that he was suffering from a cold when he performed Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and Happy Christmas, and possibly the sirius performances as well. When I get colds, I basically lay around, sounding awful and being lazy. He’s flying all over the place putting out these lovely performances….
I absolutely loved those two Sirius performances. He’s amazing. Even with a cold!
They showed the early feed here in CT also. I thought the show was 2 hours everywhere. I’m glad he did the John Lennon song in the 2nd hour.
OMG Life on the Moon is my very favorite song!!!!! David Cook needs to put out a video with this song. When is it going single–anyone know???? Please, I want to hear this song playing on the radio–AND PERMANENT, TOO!!!! Please, David Cook!!! Why don’t they put out a Permanent video with the dancers from Canada’s SYTYCD (and do it similar to the video of Light On showing David and going back and forth to the dance). I think that would be killer!!
He looks great in this picture. No icky guyliner in sight. Hooray!
Someone asked for acoustic Light On, so HERE it is.
Note – this isn’t the version from Sirius, in which David was sick and slightly hoarse. I had another video of acoustic LO from an interview he did with WPLJ, and I think the version he did there is the best LO of them all. Including the original.
So, in the festive sharing spirit of the holidays…
I do think that the WPLJ LO is the best one to date. It wasn’t the first acoustic LO that we heard, but he and Neal had it going on, big time.
Sarah I live in Orlando and I am really trying to go to the show but I’m not sure if I will be able…I heard the interview on XL and actually emailed Johnny and Jayde to thank them for having DC on the show and promoting him. Jayde emailed me back which was awesome!!!
Hope to be there at HOB…but I think I would die if I actually saw DC live and I don’t think my hubby would be too happy for the cause of my death! LOL
OHHHHHH, Thank you SO MUCH!! And, Happy Holidays to You too!
:thumbup_tb:
Jolene, you ROCK….almost as much as DC
Thank you!!
glad to hear that people really like DC acoustic performance as much as i do..neal is awesome too..they really makes me cry that day,both of the DC Christmas performance really touching,he just sing it from the bottom of his heart,u can see it through his face…DC looks very cold but he manage put out a standout performance,he even 10x better than beyonce :clap_tb: :snake_ee:…im just speechless…..see both of the performance here
Jolene, you so rock! Your mp3s are so much better than what I normally can find. Thank you. Acoustic Cook is my favorite! :biggrin_wp:
Jolene, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I really think if DC ever puts out an all acoustic album he’d gain even more fans. One of my closest friends didn’t really like LOTM until she heard the acoustic version!!! Really, imo, he’s unstoppable!
Awww, my pleasure! Just happy you guys are enjoying it.
yeah, i agree about the acoustic album would grab different fans- my mom LOVED him on AI and TOML is still her fave song- I bought her DCTR and she says it’s a little too much screaming for her.
Those little girls waving to the camera are distracting. Wish they would turn around and listen to the music.
I love acoustic cookie. One gripe with the introduction to this song: Al Roker and the woman comparing Cook’s 55 mil votes to Obama’s 68 mil. No, no, no. Can’t compare them because on American Idol, people vote multiple times. It irks me when the media is sloppy with the facts and gives the wrong impression, even if technically they didn’t lie.
I’ve heard many tv people compare AI votes to presidential elections. I think it further erodes the dignity of the presidency to trivialize it that way … especially when it’s misleading.
