I forgot how amazing these VIP perfs are… bless you, Miss Shell, for capturing them!
Unplugged versions
makes me a little sad he refers to having to make TOSOD as a “setback” ROFLOL
Plugged in
With the full band (where you can see his superhero shield 🙂 … and learn the backstory to Who I Am … omigosh the ending, he needs to add this into his show!

The ending there too… wow, just wow!

I am a 100% fan of unplugged but I honestly love both versions of both.
How about you guys??

No words. 😁🎉🙃
Hi Tofan 🙂 thanks for showing these VIP vids. Like you, I love hearing them both ways, but I seriously enjoyed his vocalizing at the end of the ones with the band. David is the best, however he sings. I can’t wait to hear his new music !!!
The VIP videos really are great. The extra bonus is when you are there live, up close. With that said David always brings something rather magical, in what ever way we may hear these songs,
Thanks for these and yes, the endings to these songs are terrific. Even when David sings the same song, each time you hear it it sounds like a slightly different version, somewhat ‘Davidized’….
so good!
I love Who I Am! Thank you TOfan! 😲
I was listening to a top pop radio station yesterday and seriously like David’s new music better than any of the synthetic, monotonous, shallow stuff that is popular now. There is something unique and meaningful about each new song. He’s not just putting things out there to fill a cd. Such a blessing to be a fan of this special guy . Have a great day 🙂
you are so right, oliveoil, beyond that voice of his, these new songs have such depth to them, I’ve had the whole EP on repeat… and it hit me that the new stuff’s going to come before I’m even remotely tired of Orion… a blessing, indeed ♥
Agree with both of you. Not remotely tired of Orion either.
Awesome! I think he sang “Who I am” in lower key in Orem VIP. ? I love both versions but I think he felt freer at Orem and did all these cool embellishments! I missed that one although I was at the concert! Darn kids! Just kidding. I really really miss the concerts..
If people knew how he sounded right next to you at VIPs, I’m almost reluctant to advertise it for fear of $500 VIP’s with 150 peeps.
Thanks for your awesome posts!
Jenny, yes he does sound incredible up close at VIPs and it’s nice that we get reasonable VIPS with a reasonable amount of people. Makes for a great experience. Great things can come in small packages or scenarios. 🙂
I know fans out there are patiently waiting for music, tour news (and some maybe not so patiently) but I guess it’s good to remember that David likes (and needs) his social media breaks in between events. It’s kind of the norm now and we know that eventually some announcements will be made, as in the past. It will happen in time and on time I guess and then…..look out! Another constellation on the horizon.
Still enjoying Orion a heck of a lot too. Not tired of it in the least.
Hi Pepper! Yes! He does like his breaks. That’s ok.
