Lucky Scots!

He does play the less obvious songs in concert. Just not this side of the pond, I guess.

It was such a fantastic show! He seemed relaxed and happy there on the stage. And he sang my favourite, Mae...

DC does looks happy and content. Great to hear him sing a wonderful song from the 1972 Rock Me Baby album. Lucky Scots, indeed! The song has great images that flow through the listeners mind as it is being sung.

DC's acoustic guitar didn't have any "technical" problems and he knows all the words to the song. (OK, I had to say it. Don't want to be mean. Just pointing out a comparison after comments from his very recent concert reviews.)

I don't like the "sing-a-longs" when the audience joins in and sings most every song. In the "now" clips, David, very often, (too often) holds the microphone out towards the audience for them to sing. I want to hear more of his voice without the audience singing.

I'm not sure if I would go to one of his concerts because I'd want hear him sing and entertain as a artist. Recent clips show David mostly playing to a "fan-based" audience and not care about entertaining someone, like me, who has just discovered him.

Agree that David does look happy and content in this clip. I was at his London concert in 2008 where there was also much singing-along and it was great because the balance seemed to be about right, so please don't assume that it always drowns out his performance. It was a great atmosphere and that's being said by someone who also doesn't care for too much audience participation. After that concert I carried on singing his songs during my journey home (in the confines of my own car I hasten to add)!

He really does seem genuinely happy here, doesn't he? It must have been a treat to be in the audience that night. Anonymous, you're not being mean by relating this observation.

Before David sat down he was OBVIOUSLY a very happy boy! Liked the song, the way he delivered it and he looked great too. 10/10

Gasps!!!! That's what I thought too, British Fan!!!! LOL!!!! I replayed it several times (hey, first things first) and gasped every time!!! LOL!!!

OMG, he looks and sounds SO awesome here. I can see some of the young David here, the way he bites his lower lip, his facial expressions. This was special. Thanks, DD!!
