Yes, another 72-year-old here, female. I appreciate everyone being so articulate, 'cause I'm feeling a bit weepy tonite. If I were to start talking/writing too much, I'd probably start sobbing. You see, I have been chronically ill since my early 30s and have a chronic, intractable pain disease as well. I've never let up on trying to do my best to get through all this with as much dignity and grace as God and I can muster at any given time. It's hard sometimes when that wellspring of love, hope, wisdom and strength starts drying up. I admit it. But along came this blessed child, God's Grace among us. She takes nothing from me, but still gives me her heart, her understanding and her words. She can break through the darkness in my life with that quirky little voice, eventually turning my own heart and mind in a way that allows me to transcend the pain and suffering common to us all. Grace's music now reminds me to take this freely-given gift and pass it on to others. I love you, Grace.
Jama Grant Thank you for sharing that. I’m sure Grace would want to meet you sometime someday and hold you for a moment. I hope you have some family and friends for the really rough days. Thanks for being a part of the Grace family here and on her other channels. She’s a gift from God no doubt. You both are. Be well. Stay active and write more here anytime you feel so moved. Love to you. 💕 ❤️
I was going through some personal things when Grace came out and I didn't know what I just found her and I am so glad to know I'm not the only older man I'm 52 that just loves this girl and not in a gross way she's just an inspiration to young people and to music thanks for putting your thoughts out there
I am 60 years old, and have been an amateur musician almost my entire life, beginning as a choir boy at 6 years old, progressed to rock and rock blues, as a teenager, and today, I am blues/rock vocalist, so I appreciate talent when I see it, regardless of the genre of music. Grace, you are perfection. I just love your music and most of all, your artistry. You are a game changer and I just love what you do so well.
Graham. I agree with that 100% as do most of the people who are musicians in the audience. We know top talent when we hear and see it. We all love her and her attitude and music so much. She is that special and a game changer as you and AGT said. I agree no doubt! Awesome to have Grace as part of my daily life in her music and videos. Thank you Grace for being so willing to share with all of us! We love you for that!
Alan, even my two kids, who are 32 and 28 years old, are amazed that I have become such an avid fan of Grace's, but it is so rare to see such incredible talent, especially from what was just a 12 year old at the time. I predict greatness for Grace. She has an unbelievable future ahead of her and she is so deserving of that. If she is capable of those lyrics at 12 years old, what will she be delivering when she is 30? The mind boggles and I am hoping she one day come to South Africa, as if she does, I will the very first ticket buyer.
Interesting. There are things in life that bring joy and ease pain. Music is among them. For those like myself who are musicians and listeners of music, we have specific standards whatever they may be. We have likes and not so much. I tried something different tonight. I wanted to watch like a news program on TV and I had been listening to music all day. So instead of turning it off, I turned the music way down so I could concentrate on the TV. It was a very relaxing experience. Psychologically, I can't say exactly what was at work but the effect was I was able to do what I needed to do, like work or study, and use the music as a hint of background music. Very comforting. If you are listening to the absence of getting things done, try playing music from RUclips or whatever and get your work done. I thought I'd add that here because watching music videos can be extremely addictive and this way you can still get necessary things done.
I am retired, so I now get the time to watch RUclips, which is how I discovered Grace, as I never saw AGT back in 2016, far too busy in the kitchen as the head chef in my restaurant. I am so incredibly happy to have discovered such an incredible talent. And also very happy I now have the time to do things like watching talent on RUclips. I have discovered some incredible people in the last few weeks, not just Grace, but Susan Boyle, Charlotte and Jonathan, Jackie Evancho, Laura Bretan, Beau Dermott, Calysta Bevier........ the list is endless. But of them all, Grace is just the most incredible thing ever. Unbelievable!
Being semi-retired myself, it is such a blessing that these kids and adults are bringing the music! Just like the old masters of the blues or folk, these kids are giving us of their inner selves and what they want to sing about. I have to say, it seems so healing and positive and that's music as a healing force.
I couldn't agree more. She is really tapping into the late 60's early 70's energy I believe. She is original totally however and amazing and sweet as they come. She is my hero!
What the hell, what is it about this young kid? Every nuance, every broken note in her voice is so endearing, its as if she's been performing for 20/30 years, she feeds her audience and feeds off her audience and she is 13/14, now that is natural talent in its purest form. You cant learn how to do this you just do it. She sings every word believing every word. Absolutely amazing. Many many so called stars should take note.
she has a connection with the public. and that is very beautiful of her. Your delivery is total. she is liberated enjoys enjoying what she does. you are great Grace. you have a beautiful spirit
Grace has the soul to pull it off. It's really hard to imagine where Grace will fly up to. She has so many incredible qualities that others have mentioned over and over - may the spirits that be protect her from adversity and keep her safe and warm. The rest she can do - take it Grace! Love from Alan/Boston
I am literally so proud of Melissa for blending right into the family and even taking her own risks and making improvements/improvisations. She’s even started singing more. I’m so happy she’s helped Grace hone her sound and become someone I look forward to hearing every time she plays with Grace. I’m also very glad that Nolan is sticking around for the USBTour, he has amazing energy. I love how Grace, Melissa and Nolan harmonise. I’m so happy and proud of the band, they’re almost just as much apart of the act as Grace is now...
Clare Weitzel My guess is they are working on making a big impression in the USB tour. Many people like Grace with only acoustic guitar; me too. But I also love her arrangements and the way she holds court on any stage. She will prove that once more. She’s a hard working singer/songwriter who will never disappoint :)
Alan Tauber Yup, this year I have the incredible, life changing opportunity to finally see Grace live, after over two years of begging my parents to buy me a ticket. I’m indefinitely excited for this, and I’m so grateful I’m going to see her, and her band.
@@allthings.stranger I just met Grace for real on Saturday when she played Boston. Hug, kiss and just sayin' Hi. With a photo. It was a birthday gift a friend gave me. Her Mom and Dad were there and brother Jacob. Mom and Dad were so nice, overnice. Crazy that this can all be true. She's so famous and been on all these shows on TV and awards and all that and more...Disney movie, Windex commercial, so much. She seems like the most 'normal' person I have ever met. Fantastic person and spirit.
Grace is a unique and beautiful talent. Something tells me this young lady is going to touch more hearts and souls than anyone could possibly imagine of all ages. If AGT never airs another show they already accomplished a life's work introducing us to this angel.
Grace. You have gone from a 12 yr old nervous wreck to 14 yr old professional. OMG..... What a performance, completly entertaining. You be You. Don't ever stop
The acts of the child are real, simple, enjoyable, happy and charismatic, no artificial acts and movement, no concert dress code. She feels the audience with real feelings. It's simple, happy, laughter, everybody participates the songs, no distractions, just you feel happy normally.
well i am a 62 year old man when i was young certain pop star Marc Bolan captured my spirit and i have loved his persona and music always, even now years after his death, i never thought anybody else could do the same but this young girl as done just that so i know she is special and all the people like me will be able to enjoy the connection with her spirit for a life time
Yes, she is a natural beauty inside and outside, I met her. She is even more Grace than you can believe. Grace is Grace and really kind and cool. An amazing young woman. Thanks for coming to Boston.
Thank you, thank you for posting this. I’m a 60 year old woman who is completely taken with the talent and personality of this young lady. She’s going places, that’s for sure. Maybe I’ll get a chance to see her live but until then I follow her here. I wish her nothing but the best. Well done Grace, keep going.
Ruthie Rochester NY Ruthie. Come to a concert of hers sometime. She’s from Suffern NY not that close but in the same state as you :) I’m sure she’d love to meet you, if possible!
This concert video never gets old. I watch my own video at least in part, everyday. When I read how people are moved by Grace I cry with joy and a host of feelings. Thank you Grace.
The next Taylor Swift, don't think so, Grace is....GRACE..... Miss Swift could never compete, Grace has set the bar so incredibly high. An incredible beautiful free spirit that is in awe of life and life is in awe of her. How could anybody not be in awe of her....just wow. You are such a beautiful thing. God bless and thank you.
Watched clips of her singing new songs at the Slipper Room recently and she's even better now than she was here; every time you think she can't get possibly get any better she does.
I WAS AT THIS SHOW !!!! I know I am just one of many masses but I have to say so many special things about GRACE !! For someone so young to touch hearts from age 7 to 70. I am so glad she came close and I was able to see her live. Howie said it best for sure AMAZING GRACE !!!!
Thanks Robert. Every person that posts to this video and everyone who loves Grace and what she stands for is deserving of a huge thank you! There are masses but we need you!
What an upload .. This Girl is growing like a universe .. UPDATE: true .. Noticed this Spring; when I listen to Grace at dawn - with windows open - every bird in the neighbourhood sings at the top of their voices, and morning by morning (this May) the chorus grows. "Light The Sky" is a big favourite, the feathered ones rejoice, I kid you not.
I was unsure how far Grace would go after she won AGT, but she has grown incredibly in the time since then, and is suddenly one of the most brilliant, creative artists on the planet. Her singing has developed to levels I’d never anticipated, and while she is still so young Grace carries herself with a maturity and poise of someone that has been on the music scene for many years. I am excited to see what will come from Grace in the decades ahead
I was there, in the front row of seats. This was her first actual concert, before the first concert of her “Just The Beginning” tour. I flew to Utica from Austin, Texas to see her, back when she still did the sweet, excited jumping around. Unpretentious, before her “brooding” years. I wish she could have kept this personality as she got older. I know it’s still in there, though.
was there with my daughter. she was very excited to go. we we waited in line for sometime because she wanted to go early. I did not think it was going to be that crazy. but we went early and glad I did . we sat in second row and all that mattered was my daughter enjoyed very much. great concert.
I think I may have been behind you if you were on the right side? It was a great - solid Grace show that really placed Melissa on Guitar cemented Ben Masters on the drums. A very magical experience for me and so glad I recorded it all. I love this Grace VanderWaal and finally got to meet her last year and her brother and talk with her parents a bit. Grace's waist was so small it was surprising when we had the photo taken : ) She's an amazing role model for me and helps me think about life and theater and music in a different and more important way in my life. How grateful we are to have the 'gift' of music whether we are players or the entertained. She deserves all of God's great miracles he has waiting inside of her. Thank you and Go Grace!
I'm in love with all the songs Grace writes and sings, she's just an angel that came from the heavens! I'm thrilled with every stanza this beautiful little girl recites, every word she utters touches my heart! What talent, what a gift from God to our present day, of such a gloomy world! She is a colossal gift from God, with her smiling eyes, her innocent smile, her intelligent and loving mind! This song is a milestone in history! I hope that God and his relatives will keep it and take care of it, so that no harm ever happens to it, or that they let it get involved with bad people! We, here from Brazil, love you very much, Miss Grace!
EVERY emotional moment of every song radiates from this artist in a powerful way that's unlike anything i have seen in my 57 years of life. If you don't want to deeply feel the song then don't look at her eyes. Even though they can't been seen clearly in this video they radiate those emotions. She doesn't just sing the songs, 100% in the song in every video on the internet
You got it! Thanks for chiming in. Grace is simply Grace personified :) I absolutely love her and what she stands for. An amazing young woman. Go, Grace!
wow super fix all Grace fans need Thanks for sharen , Just to much to say about ,our Ms Grace but please folks whoever can please get her beautiful word on the airwaves ,to many folks are missing, the finest Lady , ever to bless US , I know i am older army dog , There is just so much peace in this lady , The Texas Gent
walter dollahon Hang in there sir.. She's constantly rising, it seems to me. CLEARLY has over 4 mil. views rt now. It looks to me like DKCM is going to be on the set list for the ID tour.. I think that song will get some serious attention, from those who think that she's "a child singer who writes songs for children". Plus I think she may prefer a slower rise. ..idk just seems more of a concrete type of fame... anyway I always notice your comments.
Ce soir là , c'était vraiment une très grande, grande , grande Grace ! Quand elle laisse parler son intuition , Grace est vraiment magnifique ! That night, it was really a very big, big, great Grace! When she lets her intuition speak, Grace is really beautiful ! She is natural , we love her like that ! She is a queen ! One of her best concerts with ACL , Loveloud and Summerfest !
I don't know how one gets to be a fanderwaal but I am one, I suppose. I've been supporting Grace everyday since she sang her now famous song on AGT. Gone to 3 concerts and tried to be a voice of experience and reason to help. I love Grace as she is the least pretentious and she's so down to earth, normal young girl with a huge future, never mind the present! Go Grace!
Mlle Grace is just sublime in everything : her dress, her hair, her way, her presence on stage: she is just a beautiful person. She grows up, she evolves before our admiring eyes and I thank her for it. Thank you for living so many lives before this one, merci d'être vous , Mlle Grace ! Thank you for giving us everything you offer us on stage . I hope you in France soon !!!!
Ben must love Gossip Girl he took over that song and almost drowned out Grace. When I was a kid I saw Judy Garland command a stage very close to how Grace does it, she's a natural and I believe she will still be able to do it when the crowd is 50k strong
I agree about Grace commanding a stage at 50K. And I also usually use Judy Garland as a comparison when talking to friends. She is just almost a superhuman and a blessed girl and spirit. Ben Masters. I have a different take on this. I have been a champion for Ben (I am a drummer of 55 years of playing and teaching and training drummers) I actually wrote to the GV team and said that when she goes on the ID tour they better pick Ben because he knows how to drive the band and excite the band members and bring the energy up so it gets into the audience. In any case, they picked Ben. I believe that he is so sensitive to this music, and he loves Grace so much and cares so deeply that he knows what to do and when to do it. He's an excellent musician and knows how to rock a room OR bring it down for a library gig. I have total confidence in him and have never heard or experienced his drumming as anything but perfect for each gig. However, I will say that where I was recording this the drums in that seating area, the drums came across a bit in your face. I invite you to watch other people's videos of this concert to hear that huge difference from maybe 40 feet back from where I was in the 3rd row. But I appreciate your sensitivity and of course your always insightful comments. You are a true Grace supporter till the end, I know. PS. I have another version of this where the color was not killed on tune 2 & 3 and I didn't boost the sound so it sounds less in your face, I believe. ruclips.net/video/-aGQq2kdcTY/видео.html/
Agreed. This is currently one of her specials! She did a phenomenal version on MTV last night. Honestly that MTV show had three of her songs showcased and with the sound quality, the guitarist, the background of NYC and her performance is one of her best. IMHO. You gotta see it. ruclips.net/video/hQNU_qyMRXU/видео.html Start in from 19:19 I really love it.
she is just a pure entertainer God I love her the first week of the ACL festival was the best live show I have ever seen but this runs a real close second that you
Danny. Thanks for saying that. I tried. It was not planned to record the show. But when I started, and she sounded so good and the band and having the seat I got I had to continue. I really didn't know I had anything good till I spliced it together and uploaded it overnight. Next day... Bang, there it was and I was amazed too! Thanks again for the compliment!
Grace is the coolest kid on the block. Btw, she's also a complete entertainer as you say. Wicked funny, dry wit, great at everything she touches - vocal treatments, stage presence, production, and caring for others. This list is endless. We all want her to take care of herself because people who give so much can get depleted and though she seems strong as an OX, she needs that downtime and family and friends to hold her close. Which, she has. She's doing everything right and I think she knows when to say, I just can't do that now. Maybe later. Danny, Thank you for your kind words. Since these days not long ago, a few profesional videos have come out mostly from the ID tour and they are excellent too, very excellent! But natural Grace, is well, natural and more human to us. The connection to the audiences are better in ACL and Utica and Boston and the whole JTB tour. She seems more open with her heart if that's possible. I pray to God that we have her with us for a long time of health and happiness. She is an amazing, talented entertainer and also healer. God lives in her and she answers that calling in her way with compassion, heart and soul. Again Danny, thanks! It was certainly my pleasure and I just wish they'd let me do some pro video for her with real equipment :) Alan
I love Grace because she's always optimistic and happy, energetic and caring. Her voice is magical and she's such a talented song writer. She's the absolute best and I'm obsessed!! This video had good quality too. I ❤️ GRACE
This day, April 21st 2018, was an amazing day and concert! I was fortunate enough to be at this concert, and it was amazing! I drove 8 hours from Ohio to Utica, New York and 8 hours back for this concert! And, well worth the trip! As a side note, from AGT to present day , her hair this day at this concert was the best it's ever been!
Thanks, John, Glad you were there! It WAS VERY SPECIAL! What a night. I happened to decide to work for this night and grab a good full video. Thanks for your enjoyment and look at how she has become the star of the day! What an amazing young spirit.
@@AlanTauber-DrumConnection I have 5 of the songs on my phone.... that's all I recorded, and I posted them on my Facebook 4-22-18.... I also saw someone else's video of that night with MY HEAD in the shot!..... :) Grace onstage, and my big head in the same shot!.... :) By the way, thanks for this memorable video!.... I can always relive my night there by watching it again!.... :)
Grace surprises with a marvelous look that is always in tune with the band, displaying a fantastic stage domain, congratulations and "success always" !!!
Geoffrey Santos Don’t forget to see the full color version and cleaned sound as the B&W was an error. Also the vocal and drums are more in balance in the new version listed above. Though many people may prefer the sound of this one depending on their speaker system and choice. ruclips.net/video/-aGQq2kdcTY/видео.html/
Grace and this song has helped me through so much. “Now she lost her way and she forgets to smile. Never gets a break from this life in denial.” Not only those lyrics but every other lyric has just helped me so much and i remember listening to it non stop when it first came out
Thanks for sharing that difficult and then beautiful, helpful experience. I think a lot of people benefit from just paying attention to Grace. There is no other!
A Special Soul giving us an insight to what real Magic is all about - Just Love this Angel - she shows the way for all "Saying that You can do It Too" :-)
Loved Grace from the first time I saw her preform on AGT and knew she would win it all...God bless you Grace and the beautiful talent he has given you!
I have watched Grace all through AGT and as she has grown ... the Awards ... the 1st Album and at 68 years old having the privilege to see Skynyrd, The Beatles ... Stones and Giant Groups still be as popular today as they were when the started in the early 60's ... I have to Predict that Grace is going to be as popular in 50 years as she was when she won AGT at 12 years old ... a phenomenal Personality ... Best of Wishes Grace ... God Bless You and your Tremendous Talent ..
Jason Burkhardt That was beautiful Jason. I’m with ya on this as well. I filmed this and it still means everything to me. I’ll never forget that whole day. Grace liked my hat and John Lennon type glasses. I love this girl - she is from another world 🌍
Coolbreeze, I am 69 and I have purchased both her albums. I listen to them regularly, and I love these video clips. One person called her a prodigy who appealed to the old and the young. He was quite correct.
Grace is so wonderful Her band are so on point and the drummer is having to keep his equipment on the stage which Grace noticed and he was still on point of course the Key board player is really in charge so good even with a step in guitarist. Really like her band too and that makes her live gigs so special.
Nonduality We talked about how much our life’s are better for letting Grace into ours. We agreed that this energy is extremely rare and very needed in the world today and in our lives. Grace changes everything she touches! Great title there...
Alan Tauber I'm one of the lucky few Fanderwaals that got to meet her as Rupurt in Nashville. Ive seen Led Zep, Pink Floyd in 77., Zappa, and among so many, Grace at 14yo can stand talk with any of them. Go Grace! Thanks for the vid.
Hello David. Thanks for chiming in. I too have played with or opened for some of those bands in the 60's-70's and on. I still play and teach professionally. Grace is amazing and we love her.
It's amazing how she can present so many beautiful, incredible songs that make so much sense that they leave the joyful days with this angelic voice, congratulations and "success always" !!!!
Yes, She is that awesome! Thanks for listening to this recording. There is a full-color version I remade and got it up there but most people watch this one. ruclips.net/video/-aGQq2kdcTY/видео.html
That is so cool Cindy! My pleasure. I never expected people would be watching this and all the 'hits' we got. I was not doing it thinking about 'hits'. I was actually going to make it private and send it to friends only. But now I've made a LOT of friends! All nice, good people. Thanks for helping Grace and Grace... thanks for being in our lives!
For many months, I'd thought "ACL" was her best and she would never make a better performance than that. But this is GOOOOD!! Especially "Darkness" is tremendous!! Isn't it, Patrick?
Hard to believe you said that so BIG Thank you for the kind words for the video and especially Grace's performance, style and energy! She is amazing. I went to another concert at a big stadium and was so far away from the stage with an iPhone it was almost impossible to record anything worthwhile. So, I learned. Get into the pit or first 20 rows of a concert to get a decent phone recording. Thanks again! Love it all! Also, please remember to bring earplugs to concerts. You only need one and switch it from ear to ear every 8-10 mins. That's the way musicians do it and the way I was trained. That way the muscles of the ear get to rest and you still feel connected to the concert and artist.
A big thank you for sharing the wonderful concert of this unimaginably talented young artist !!! I agree with opinions that Grace goes straight to our hearts no matter where we live and how old we are !!! Best regards from Poland !!! ARN STG
I'm from Philippines, too, and I've been loving this girl from AGT to her first movie Stargirl and even now. Such beautiful soul 💓 I'm always praying her beautiful soul won't be tainted by bad influences around. I love grace even if I'm a Filipino. 💓💓💓
@@julietiformes73 Many of us are very concerned about Grace and how she will deal with success and stardom. I will add that Grace has made some pretty awesome choices so far and we hope for continued fun, excitement, and good choices for her future!
Thanks for the video! Really like Grace, not just because she is a very unique and talented artist, but because she is AND is just so young and doesn't pretend to be older. She is just a teen, gawky, goofy, honest, real and sincere. To often young talents have tried to grow up too fast. And often times it doesn't go well.
I really think it’s always important to mention the parenting she has and support from her brother and sister. At concerts I’ve met and talked with cousins and relatives... they all really seem to be great folks. Grace can make the right decisions musically and artistically and the rest is work but it comes naturally for her. She loves what she’s doing!
She does but she gives so much and she knows what we all want too! She is a very loving and giving young woman. Awesome person and they don't make 'em better than Grace and all the VanderWaals and fans - The BEST fans anyone could have! YOU!!
I wrote to the family to express my gratitude for bringing Grace into the world. Sir Dave, you have every right to be amazed at your own children, both. Grace is a gift not only to you but now the world. Grateful for the guidance of the close family and spirit that holds it together and moves it higher. There is no end...
Grace gets all the big attention, but her fans are very aware that she wouldn't be where she's at without her family. You can't appreciate her without appreciating her family at the same time. That is yet another one of her gifts, incorporating the power of family.
Everything I saw at concerts up to that point pales in comparison to this one. Since then, Grace has been the most impressive artist I know. With Alan Tauber, the right man was in the right place at the right time. Thank you, Alan, for sharing these wonderful impressions with us!
Thank you, Joe. I really appreciate the comment. I tried really hard to get there the night before, and my only plan was to get to the venue really early so I showed up at 1pm for a 7pm show. No one was in line yet. I felt Grace was really going thru an awesome growth time and they had the ID tour coming up. I drove only 6 hours to get there and stay over and prepare with little pocket cameras in my pocket. Well, there was this sign I saw (a small one) 'no cameras allowed'. I tossed both cameras in my car and waited to get in. We were all having a great time waiting and getting to know each other. I made a few new friends which are so nice from around the world! Anyway, I got to sit in the 3rd row and except for the tall man in front of me (family member?), it was a good place to shoot. I did NOT expect to shoot the whole show but it was so good I couldn't stop. When I got home, I just pressed some computer keys and it looked like it would upload to RUclips and I went to bed expecting that it would never really work. But when I woke up, there it was! After a few people complained that the color dropped out in song 2 & 3, I went to the original files and reuploaded it but most people still go to the original version. Making videos all around the world is something I've been doing on and off most of my life. I am also a musician, arranger, drummer, and I can spot a rising star who I seem to vibe with very easily. Everybody loves Grace! I was a musician starting in the mid '60s and her music seems to have elements of the late 60's and early 70's. I got to meet Grace and get our picture taken in Boston and get a hug and a quick conversation. I am sure I said dumb things! But I was thrilled. I wish they would let me get a pass to shoot for them but I don't know who to ask. The video would have been much better. Have you seen her new video that came out today? AWESOME. Go Grace! thanks again, Joe.
@@AlanTauber-DrumConnection Thank you for the highly interesting information about your recording! It was obviously not an easy way to get there, but I think the result has more than compensated you. It's nice to know that you spoke Grace personally (and even got a hug). When I first saw the concert on RUclips, my niece from the 'Goethestadt' Eisenach, Germany, was present (and a few more people). We were immediately enchanted by Grace, who has a wonderful character and is highly talented, as we know. And Antonia (15 years old) sang along to each song aloud. Luckily, she has a good voice! In Eisenach, all her friends know Grace and, like my niece, are signatories. On the same day, I also signed. Thank you, Alan, once again. People like you are doing Grace a great service. Grace is truly an outstanding artist who will still have a lot of success. With her unique talent, charm and empathy, she has brought joy, courage and comfort to many people of all ages. Grace is the shining star in the sky of these people that they have been waiting for for a long time, whether consciously or unconsciously. God protect you, Alan, and enjoy your memories!
Joe TomCat I love you Joe. Saying that was so kind and loving. We send the love to Grace and her family and Frankie too! I would definitely give up my day gig to follow Grace around with cameras and I’m a recording engineer too. But, they really now are moving up to a new level. I am convinced that she is just moving up each week. When will we hear her on Radio? Top ten
@@AlanTauber-DrumConnection Alan thank you for the kind words! Sorry for my late reaction, but I was very busy the last few days. From my point of view, it would be a good thing if you would record Grace's performances with your qualifications and your experience! Despite the not ideal conditions, I find the concert of Utica wonderfully recorded. The big man in the foreground doesn't bother much, his joy in Grace - and that of the others, of course - comes over well. The atmosphere is perfectly captured. I'm looking at all the new videos about Grace with the greatest interest, and Grace on the radio would take this medium to a new level. I hope you can renew your success soon! Do it well!
@@joetomcat7800 Thanks, Joe. I'll try but I can't afford to fly around all the time! :) We'll see. There are other very talented videographers who are Grace fans. You have to anticipate where Grace is moving next and never cut off the head. Know the music and the dance routine if there is one and try to focus on the Guitar, Bass, and Keys when possible but don't lose Grace! It's like mind reading, body language to guess correctly where she will be headed next (left, right up-down, etc.) Thanks again for your extremely kind words and you made my day. I had fun that night. It was a beautiful relaxed show with great, appreciative folks of all ages in the crowd.
Thank you so much Alan Tauber, especially from those of us who may never see this phenomenon in person and have to rely on guys like you for us to survive. In the 72 years I have been on this crazy planet I have never seen a person on stage who is so polished and professional, so capable and in total control of the stage and the audience, and does this without anything that isn't completely just her. Even down to her dress sense is completely age appropriate, natural and yet as beautiful as any performer to ever walk on a stage. In a nutshell Grace is simply perfectly imperfect.
How about you think that you WILL see her and get to give her a hug. I believe that may happen for you. Where do you live? Maybe she's making a list...
Too my deep regret I live the wrong side of that big puddle they call The Atlantic Ocean, I feel I will just have to revel in her video's and CD's. Just grateful that I was allowed to live long enough to witness this phenomenon along with a few others (Alma Deutscher & Amira Willighagen). They have made my twilight years a pure joy & delight.
Thank you so much for this video it was so awesome to watch the whole entire concert. I haven't watched Grace in a bit. She is always a real pleasure...
I'm sure I saw you... Yes, I re-live it too, everyday. I also love her MTV 3 song set with only guitar and backup vocals!. That was shot by professionals! ruclips.net/video/yHUD2QjVoMc/видео.html
Lots of great chat between songs, but here are the song cues: Moonlight 00:17 Insane Sometimes 03:48 Burned 07:50 Gossip Girl 11:35 City Song 16:40 Darkness Keep Following Me 20:17 Home 25:00 Light The Sky 27:19 Take Me To The River 31:30 Escape My Mind 35:13 Talk Good 38:35 Better Life 41:30 So Much More Than This 46:20 Florets 49:42 Beautiful Thing 54:15 Clearly 58:34 IDKMYN 1:03:33
Nonduality how have you been? I miss you sitting next to me at the concert. I hope I have your email somewhere so we can keep in touch. Seems like a lot more people ‘get’ what Grace is all about. Any confusion is gone. She’s the real deal - always has been. And to those of you who traveled to this show were treated to some awesome music, laughter, great dancing and strong band. It was a magical night!
What do you mean you need the video? I do not understand. Thank you for responding. You can reach me at alan@drumconnection.com Thanks! Alan Tauber @@appiahobed191
Tengo 63 años. He escuchado a los mas grandes de la música. A todos. Ya hacía tiempo que nada podía conmoverme. Hasta que , milagrosamente, apareció esta niña en AGT y todo cambió. Ella es puro arte y talento. Ella es aire fresco , ella es el futuro. Todo lo que ha compuesto me parece de una belleza extrema. Y no tengo dudas que Darkness Keep Chasing Me ( La oscuridad sigue persiguiéndome) es la canción mas perfecta que he escuchado en años.-
I love this! Yes!!! And a lot more huh? From how to apply makeup, wash your face after dropping your face into cheese cake, to how to light up a stage and change a stuck/fixed world into one you can live in with hope for a brighter future. We love you Grace :)
MrMaxx456 Grace does it all and I just happened to be there. She is extraordinary! We all love her for her gifts to us! So thanks Grace; we’re with you through this whole journey. Count on that. Thx MrMaxx.
Yes. She will be playing bigger venues so hard to get in the front if they still won't let cameras in and they won't which is cool. Less work for us amateurs :)
Thanks for sharing this video. I’m living in Taiwan in Asia. I think it’s hard to see her performance in my country. I am glad enough to find those videos that you shared with on the Internet. Thank you so much.🤝
I guess you love Grace too! I'm pretty sure she will travel to Asia someday soon! She's very busy now on tour and a new single to come out and then an album. Lots to launch this career! Thank you!
Thanks so much for recording and posting. I too love Grace and I watch everything she does. I am looking forward to seeing her live when she plays near me. Very well done I totally enjoyed it. Thanks again.
Alan Tauber thank u so much sir for uploading the entire concert and in such amazing quality! you took so much of pains in recording this for us...really i do not know how to reciprocate your love and care for us....
Yes. After the night, the concert was a faint memory each day till I popped this together and now I watch it a lot! I do love that night. We have Grace and family to thank for this!
Yes, another 72-year-old here, female. I appreciate everyone being so articulate, 'cause I'm feeling a bit weepy tonite. If I were to start talking/writing too much, I'd probably start sobbing.
You see, I have been chronically ill since my early 30s and have a chronic, intractable pain disease as well. I've never let up on trying to do my best to get through all this with as much dignity and grace as God and I can muster at any given time. It's hard sometimes when that wellspring of love, hope, wisdom and strength starts drying up. I admit it.
But along came this blessed child, God's Grace among us. She takes nothing from me, but still gives me her heart, her understanding and her words. She can break through the darkness in my life with that quirky little voice, eventually turning my own heart and mind in a way that allows me to transcend the pain and suffering common to us all. Grace's music now reminds me to take this freely-given gift and pass it on to others.
I love you, Grace.
Jama Grant Thank you for sharing that. I’m sure Grace would want to meet you sometime someday and hold you for a moment. I hope you have some family and friends for the really rough days. Thanks for being a part of the Grace family here and on her other channels. She’s a gift from God no doubt. You both are. Be well. Stay active and write more here anytime you feel so moved. Love to you. 💕 ❤️
Instablaster...
Ladies and gentlemen the best singer you’ve ever heard in your lives
Yes!.... I am 61, and The Beatles have always been my favorite musical act, until 2016!..... Now, it is Grace!.... Hands down!.... :)
She is an inspiration to all I am 72 years of age and she moves my heart and soul.
Amen. Long sweet life to you Anthony! You old soul yourself! :)
Que lindo leer algo como esto!!!💞
me to unexplainable male aged 62
@@lesoo3 Thanks Les!
I was going through some personal things when Grace came out and I didn't know what I just found her and I am so glad to know I'm not the only older man I'm 52 that just loves this girl and not in a gross way she's just an inspiration to young people and to music thanks for putting your thoughts out there
I was there, and I was flipping out cause at the end of the concert she ran off stage to meet fans a I got to hug her and I almost started crying
Me Myself And I Wow! I almost videoed that too. Congratulations 🎉🎊!!
I am 60 years old, and have been an amateur musician almost my entire life, beginning as a choir boy at 6 years old, progressed to rock and rock blues, as a teenager, and today, I am blues/rock vocalist, so I appreciate talent when I see it, regardless of the genre of music. Grace, you are perfection. I just love your music and most of all, your artistry. You are a game changer and I just love what you do so well.
Graham. I agree with that 100% as do most of the people who are musicians in the audience. We know top talent when we hear and see it. We all love her and her attitude and music so much. She is that special and a game changer as you and AGT said. I agree no doubt! Awesome to have Grace as part of my daily life in her music and videos. Thank you Grace for being so willing to share with all of us! We love you for that!
Alan, even my two kids, who are 32 and 28 years old, are amazed that I have become such an avid fan of Grace's, but it is so rare to see such incredible talent, especially from what was just a 12 year old at the time. I predict greatness for Grace. She has an unbelievable future ahead of her and she is so deserving of that. If she is capable of those lyrics at 12 years old, what will she be delivering when she is 30? The mind boggles and I am hoping she one day come to South Africa, as if she does, I will the very first ticket buyer.
Interesting. There are things in life that bring joy and ease pain. Music is among them. For those like myself who are musicians and listeners of music, we have specific standards whatever they may be. We have likes and not so much. I tried something different tonight. I wanted to watch like a news program on TV and I had been listening to music all day. So instead of turning it off, I turned the music way down so I could concentrate on the TV. It was a very relaxing experience. Psychologically, I can't say exactly what was at work but the effect was I was able to do what I needed to do, like work or study, and use the music as a hint of background music. Very comforting. If you are listening to the absence of getting things done, try playing music from RUclips or whatever and get your work done. I thought I'd add that here because watching music videos can be extremely addictive and this way you can still get necessary things done.
I am retired, so I now get the time to watch RUclips, which is how I discovered Grace, as I never saw AGT back in 2016, far too busy in the kitchen as the head chef in my restaurant. I am so incredibly happy to have discovered such an incredible talent. And also very happy I now have the time to do things like watching talent on RUclips. I have discovered some incredible people in the last few weeks, not just Grace, but Susan Boyle, Charlotte and Jonathan, Jackie Evancho, Laura Bretan, Beau Dermott, Calysta Bevier........ the list is endless. But of them all, Grace is just the most incredible thing ever. Unbelievable!
Being semi-retired myself, it is such a blessing that these kids and adults are bringing the music! Just like the old masters of the blues or folk, these kids are giving us of their inner selves and what they want to sing about. I have to say, it seems so healing and positive and that's music as a healing force.
As a senior, her enthusiasm, passion and pure joy while performing live, make me marvel and brings me as much pleasure as listening to her does!
I couldn't agree more. She is really tapping into the late 60's early 70's energy I believe. She is original totally however and amazing and sweet as they come. She is my hero!
What the hell, what is it about this young kid? Every nuance, every broken note in her voice is so endearing, its as if she's been performing for 20/30 years, she feeds her audience and feeds off her audience and she is 13/14, now that is natural talent in its purest form. You cant learn how to do this you just do it. She sings every word believing every word. Absolutely amazing. Many many so called stars should take note.
Awesome Anthony!
Anthony Brown I just love this post Anthony! We and many others feel the same!
That's Grace 🤗
Verry Weel
😊
The power of her voice is something even some of the most seasoned performers never achieve. It floors me, every time.
Thanks for that. Beautiful and very true. Best, Alan
@@Drumconnection its laughable that some of her detractors claim she has a weak voice
❤❤❤
Gh
she has a connection with the public. and that is very beautiful of her. Your delivery is total. she is liberated enjoys enjoying what she does. you are great Grace. you have a beautiful spirit
The thing I love most about Grace is you not only hear every word you feel every words what a wonderful thing
Grace has the soul to pull it off. It's really hard to imagine where Grace will fly up to. She has so many incredible qualities that others have mentioned over and over - may the spirits that be protect her from adversity and keep her safe and warm. The rest she can do - take it Grace! Love from Alan/Boston
I am literally so proud of Melissa for blending right into the family and even taking her own risks and making improvements/improvisations. She’s even started singing more. I’m so happy she’s helped Grace hone her sound and become someone I look forward to hearing every time she plays with Grace. I’m also very glad that Nolan is sticking around for the USBTour, he has amazing energy. I love how Grace, Melissa and Nolan harmonise. I’m so happy and proud of the band, they’re almost just as much apart of the act as Grace is now...
Clare Weitzel My guess is they are working on making a big impression in the USB tour. Many people like Grace with only acoustic guitar; me too. But I also love her arrangements and the way she holds court on any stage. She will prove that once more. She’s a hard working singer/songwriter who will never disappoint :)
Alan Tauber Yup, this year I have the incredible, life changing opportunity to finally see Grace live, after over two years of begging my parents to buy me a ticket. I’m indefinitely excited for this, and I’m so grateful I’m going to see her, and her band.
@@allthings.stranger I just met Grace for real on Saturday when she played Boston. Hug, kiss and just sayin' Hi. With a photo. It was a birthday gift a friend gave me. Her Mom and Dad were there and brother Jacob. Mom and Dad were so nice, overnice. Crazy that this can all be true. She's so famous and been on all these shows on TV and awards and all that and more...Disney movie, Windex commercial, so much. She seems like the most 'normal' person I have ever met. Fantastic person and spirit.
Who’s Melissa?
@@underratedcritic1983 The guitarist. This was her first gig with Grace.
Grace is a unique and beautiful talent. Something tells me this young lady is going to touch more hearts and souls than anyone could possibly imagine of all ages. If AGT never airs another show they already accomplished a life's work introducing us to this angel.
Beautifully said. Thanks Adi.
This amazing person is very special, she is born to do what she does, such a natural talent she has a massive future ahead 👌
And she's the sweetest person I have ever met. Her family also.
Grace. You have gone from a 12 yr old nervous wreck to 14 yr old professional. OMG..... What a performance, completly entertaining. You be You. Don't ever stop
Truth Teller Nothing but the truth🙂
she was never a nervous wreck!
@@kayodeakin8076 That's true! Never.
The acts of the child are real, simple, enjoyable, happy and charismatic, no artificial acts and movement, no concert dress code. She feels the audience with real feelings. It's simple, happy, laughter, everybody participates the songs, no distractions, just you feel happy normally.
reginald sanut That is so true and beautiful. Thank you for taking time to write that comment. So true.
well i am a 62 year old man when i was young certain pop star Marc Bolan captured my spirit and i have loved his persona and music always, even now years after his death, i never thought anybody else could do the same but this young girl as done just that so i know she is special and all the people like me will be able to enjoy the connection with her spirit for a life time
les truth Way to go Les. You can feel right at home with Grace. She’s so wonderful and a hard working young lady.
Grace is soo beautiful!
Yes, she is a natural beauty inside and outside, I met her. She is even more Grace than you can believe. Grace is Grace and really kind and cool. An amazing young woman. Thanks for coming to Boston.
Thank you, thank you for posting this. I’m a 60 year old woman who is completely taken with the talent and personality of this young lady. She’s going places, that’s for sure. Maybe I’ll get a chance to see her live but until then I follow her here. I wish her nothing but the best. Well done Grace, keep going.
Ruthie Rochester NY Ruthie. Come to a concert of hers sometime. She’s from Suffern NY not that close but in the same state as you :) I’m sure she’d love to meet you, if possible!
This concert video never gets old. I watch my own video at least in part, everyday. When I read how people are moved by Grace I cry with joy and a host of feelings. Thank you Grace.
The next Taylor Swift, don't think so, Grace is....GRACE..... Miss Swift could never compete, Grace has set the bar so incredibly high. An incredible beautiful free spirit that is in awe of life and life is in awe of her. How could anybody not be in awe of her....just wow. You are such a beautiful thing. God bless and thank you.
So beautiful. You made me happy today. High praises! Thx.
Is most big than taylor swift/
Anthony Brown vb
@@abeltavarez7577 Yes! Grace is headed for the top!!
Watched clips of her singing new songs at the Slipper Room recently and she's even better now than she was here; every time you think she can't get possibly get any better she does.
This is so true. Can't wait for the movie and more songs or anything from Grace!
I WAS AT THIS SHOW !!!! I know I am just one of many masses but I have to say so many special things about GRACE !! For someone so young to touch hearts from age 7 to 70. I am so glad she came close and I was able to see her live. Howie said it best for sure AMAZING GRACE !!!!
Thanks Robert. Every person that posts to this video and everyone who loves Grace and what she stands for is deserving of a huge thank you! There are masses but we need you!
Robert Prenoveau oops almost 80 and I think she's phenomenal. But I don't act it 😏
What an upload .. This Girl is growing like a universe .. UPDATE: true .. Noticed this Spring; when I listen to Grace at dawn - with windows open - every bird in the neighbourhood sings at the top of their voices, and morning by morning (this May) the chorus grows. "Light The Sky" is a big favourite, the feathered ones rejoice, I kid you not.
I know, right?
Amazing Grace!!! She's so real and talented for any age, but at her age she seems impossible.
mbg 58 Thanks for your enthusiasm! She’s the best!
all her songs are amazing, her voice is amazing, her personality is amazing, her story is amazing... everything about her is amazing.
Amazing!
She is amazing grace
Love you!
I was unsure how far Grace would go after she won AGT, but she has grown incredibly in the time since then, and is suddenly one of the most brilliant, creative artists on the planet. Her singing has developed to levels I’d never anticipated, and while she is still so young Grace carries herself with a maturity and poise of someone that has been on the music scene for many years.
I am excited to see what will come from Grace in the decades ahead
Judge Judy look? Really? :)
@Daniel S Reminds me of the little Dutch Girl on some products sold in the grocery stores. She has Dutch ancestry.
Got it. I took me a while to see the connection. Thanks Jackiel @@jackietunberg5819
I was there, in the front row of seats. This was her first actual concert, before the first concert of her “Just The Beginning” tour. I flew to Utica from Austin, Texas to see her, back when she still did the sweet, excited jumping around. Unpretentious, before her “brooding” years. I wish she could have kept this personality as she got older. I know it’s still in there, though.
Lol , I think you missed a good many live performances then .
was there with my daughter. she was very excited to go. we we waited in line for sometime because she wanted to go early. I did not think it was going to be that crazy. but we went early and glad I did . we sat in second row and all that mattered was my daughter enjoyed very much. great concert.
I think I may have been behind you if you were on the right side? It was a great - solid Grace show that really placed Melissa on Guitar cemented Ben Masters on the drums. A very magical experience for me and so glad I recorded it all. I love this Grace VanderWaal and finally got to meet her last year and her brother and talk with her parents a bit. Grace's waist was so small it was surprising when we had the photo taken : ) She's an amazing role model for me and helps me think about life and theater and music in a different and more important way in my life. How grateful we are to have the 'gift' of music whether we are players or the entertained. She deserves all of God's great miracles he has waiting inside of her. Thank you and Go Grace!
I'm in love with all the songs Grace writes and sings, she's just an angel that came from the heavens! I'm thrilled with every stanza this beautiful little girl recites, every word she utters touches my heart! What talent, what a gift from God to our present day, of such a gloomy world! She is a colossal gift from God, with her smiling eyes, her innocent smile, her intelligent and loving mind! This song is a milestone in history! I hope that God and his relatives will keep it and take care of it, so that no harm ever happens to it, or that they let it get involved with bad people! We, here from Brazil, love you very much, Miss Grace!
You bring tears to my eyes my friend. Blessings to Brazil!
EVERY emotional moment of every song radiates from this artist in a powerful way that's unlike anything i have seen in my 57 years of life. If you don't want to deeply feel the song then don't look at her eyes. Even though they can't been seen clearly in this video they radiate those emotions. She doesn't just sing the songs, 100% in the song in every video on the internet
Wow! I am impressed with your ability to take in the artists' energy so fully! She was so special in her early years. Hope to see more of her soon.
i love you Grace... you're one in a million...
I never get tired watching Grace since she won AGT. Continue inspiring the youth with your talent and good heart
You got it! Thanks for chiming in. Grace is simply Grace personified :) I absolutely love her and what she stands for. An amazing young woman. Go, Grace!
wow super fix all Grace fans need Thanks for sharen , Just to much to say about ,our Ms Grace but please folks whoever can please get her beautiful word on the airwaves ,to many folks are missing, the finest Lady , ever to bless US , I know i am older army dog , There is just so much peace in this lady , The Texas Gent
walter dollahon Hang in there sir.. She's constantly rising, it seems to me. CLEARLY has over 4 mil. views rt now. It looks to me like DKCM is going to be on the set list for the ID tour.. I think that song will get some serious attention, from those who think that she's "a child singer who writes songs for children". Plus I think she may prefer a slower rise. ..idk just seems more of a concrete type of fame... anyway I always notice your comments.
Thank you Grace, thank you Alan Tauber, thank you Dave and Tina !
Love you!
Ce soir là , c'était vraiment une très grande, grande , grande Grace !
Quand elle laisse parler son intuition , Grace est vraiment magnifique !
That night, it was really a very big, big, great Grace!
When she lets her intuition speak, Grace is really beautiful ! She is natural , we love her like that !
She is a queen ! One of her best concerts with ACL , Loveloud and Summerfest !
Her vocal skills and sound are REALLY starting to skyrocket! The future is going to be Grace-full!
The drums and applause in the beginning. Keep replaying. Tears man tears 😂 :)
thomas endicott Thanks for your excitement! Yes it was quite a show by quite a young woman. GAV
Alan Tauber yes ty for uploading for the fanderwaals. :)
I don't know how one gets to be a fanderwaal but I am one, I suppose. I've been supporting Grace everyday since she sang her now famous song on AGT. Gone to 3 concerts and tried to be a voice of experience and reason to help. I love Grace as she is the least pretentious and she's so down to earth, normal young girl with a huge future, never mind the present! Go Grace!
Thanks Thomas! I really appreciate it. Best always. Cheers to Grace!
Mlle Grace is just sublime in everything : her dress, her hair, her way, her presence on stage: she is just a beautiful person. She grows up, she evolves before our admiring eyes and I thank her for it. Thank you for living so many lives before this one, merci d'être vous , Mlle Grace !
Thank you for giving us everything you offer us on stage . I hope you in France soon !!!!
Jo Le Mérou That's her goal.. you guys be sure to treat her well, when she finally gets there..😁
Ben must love Gossip Girl he took over that song and almost drowned out Grace.
When I was a kid I saw Judy Garland command a stage very close to how Grace does it, she's a natural and I believe she will still be able to do it when the crowd is 50k strong
I agree about Grace commanding a stage at 50K. And I also usually use Judy Garland as a comparison when talking to friends. She is just almost a superhuman and a blessed girl and spirit. Ben Masters. I have a different take on this. I have been a champion for Ben (I am a drummer of 55 years of playing and teaching and training drummers) I actually wrote to the GV team and said that when she goes on the ID tour they better pick Ben because he knows how to drive the band and excite the band members and bring the energy up so it gets into the audience. In any case, they picked Ben. I believe that he is so sensitive to this music, and he loves Grace so much and cares so deeply that he knows what to do and when to do it. He's an excellent musician and knows how to rock a room OR bring it down for a library gig. I have total confidence in him and have never heard or experienced his drumming as anything but perfect for each gig. However, I will say that where I was recording this the drums in that seating area, the drums came across a bit in your face. I invite you to watch other people's videos of this concert to hear that huge difference from maybe 40 feet back from where I was in the 3rd row. But I appreciate your sensitivity and of course your always insightful comments. You are a true Grace supporter till the end, I know. PS. I have another version of this where the color was not killed on tune 2 & 3 and I didn't boost the sound so it sounds less in your face, I believe. ruclips.net/video/-aGQq2kdcTY/видео.html/
I never really thought Of Judy but now that you mention it, I can see it.
You’re amazing....dont ever let the crazy life destroy you. You’re brilliant and shine so bright! Keep the soul. You’ve grown so much!
I am impressed by the dimension that Miss Grace has reached since AGT, she is amazing! And like Dave said ; "it's just begun " !
A true fan!
Just wow. Darkness keeps chasing me....the highlight for me. Beautiful.
Agreed. This is currently one of her specials! She did a phenomenal version on MTV last night. Honestly that MTV show had three of her songs showcased and with the sound quality, the guitarist, the background of NYC and her performance is one of her best. IMHO. You gotta see it. ruclips.net/video/hQNU_qyMRXU/видео.html Start in from 19:19 I really love it.
The Cheerleader and the Stage actress Next time we say Hi! It was a great night!
Quite honestly it seems impossible a 13 year old can write that song. If that doesn't prove Grace is a genius I don't know what does.
she is just a pure entertainer God I love her
the first week of the ACL
festival was the best live show I have ever seen but this runs a real close second that you
Danny. Thanks for saying that. I tried. It was not planned to record the show. But when I started, and she sounded so good and the band and having the seat I got
I had to continue. I really didn't know I had anything good till I spliced it together and uploaded it overnight. Next day... Bang, there it was and I was amazed too! Thanks again for the compliment!
just got through watching it for the 57th time even better than the 56th time you did a great job Allen thanks
Grace is the coolest kid on the block. Btw, she's also a complete entertainer as you say. Wicked funny, dry wit, great at everything she touches - vocal treatments, stage presence, production, and caring for others. This list is endless. We all want her to take care of herself because people who give so much can get depleted and though she seems strong as an OX, she needs that downtime and family and friends to hold her close. Which, she has. She's doing everything right and I think she knows when to say, I just can't do that now. Maybe later.
Danny, Thank you for your kind words. Since these days not long ago, a few profesional videos have come out mostly from the ID tour and they are excellent too, very excellent! But natural Grace, is well, natural and more human to us. The connection to the audiences are better in ACL and Utica and Boston and the whole JTB tour. She seems more open with her heart if that's possible. I pray to God that we have her with us for a long time of health and happiness. She is an amazing, talented entertainer and also healer. God lives in her and she answers that calling in her way with compassion, heart and soul.
Again Danny, thanks! It was certainly my pleasure and I just wish they'd let me do some pro video for her with real equipment :)
Alan
Thank you for enjoying it and telling me about your heartfelt experience. I wish you good health and wonderful music!
her songs are inspirational. She is doing well beyond her age. SincereThanks to her for beautiful songs. Love you from Malaysia
I saw this live and it was mind blowing watching it back its hard to believe I was there it was so amazing
I am so happy that you were there. It was something awesome...?
This is like seeing the Beatles at the Cavern Club.
I love Grace because she's always optimistic and happy, energetic and caring. Her voice is magical and she's such a talented song writer. She's the absolute best and I'm obsessed!! This video had good quality too.
I ❤️ GRACE
We ALL love her. She is that special. Thanks Ro. Alan
Rosemary Peterson I love this kid 🧒
This day, April 21st 2018, was an amazing day and concert! I was fortunate enough to be at this concert, and it was amazing! I drove 8 hours from Ohio to Utica, New York and 8 hours back for this concert! And, well worth the trip! As a side note, from AGT to present day , her hair this day at this concert was the best it's ever been!
Thanks, John, Glad you were there! It WAS VERY SPECIAL! What a night. I happened to decide to work for this night and grab a good full video. Thanks for your enjoyment and look at how she has become the star of the day! What an amazing young spirit.
@@AlanTauber-DrumConnection I have 5 of the songs on my phone.... that's all I recorded, and I posted them on my Facebook 4-22-18.... I also saw someone else's video of that night with MY HEAD in the shot!..... :) Grace onstage, and my big head in the same shot!.... :) By the way, thanks for this memorable video!.... I can always relive my night there by watching it again!.... :)
@@johnbroski6353 Not a problem. She is great!
@@johnbroski6353 That makes me feel it was worth it. Bless you John.
Grace surprises with a marvelous look that is always in tune with the band, displaying a fantastic stage domain, congratulations and "success always" !!!
she's unbelievable, and she sound so good on live
Geoffrey Santos Don’t forget to see the full color version and cleaned sound as the B&W was an error. Also the vocal and drums are more in balance in the new version listed above. Though many people may prefer the sound of this one depending on their speaker system and choice. ruclips.net/video/-aGQq2kdcTY/видео.html/
thank you, and oh im not obsess to her okay...im not, im really not...more video link of Grace pls
It's hard not to obsess when you find something that makes you feel so good. Hard to do.
That new guitarist compliments Grace's awesome singing. By the way Grace I like your 👗 oh your hair style 🤗👏
Grace and this song has helped me through so much. “Now she lost her way and she forgets to smile. Never gets a break from this life in denial.” Not only those lyrics but every other lyric has just helped me so much and i remember listening to it non stop when it first came out
Thanks for sharing that difficult and then beautiful, helpful experience. I think a lot of people benefit from just paying attention to Grace. There is no other!
A Special Soul giving us an insight to what real Magic is all about - Just Love this Angel - she shows the way for all "Saying that You can do It Too" :-)
Perfectly said. Nothing to add to your perfect sum-up. Thank you for adding to the festivities!
Darkness Keeps Chasing Me slays me every time she sings it.
around 57:15 "I love you Grace!" ..... imediately, Grace sings " .. and that's a Beautiful Thing" .down stroke.😀... perfectly perfect.
Loved Grace from the first time I saw her preform on AGT and knew she would win it all...God bless you Grace and the beautiful talent he has given you!
Beautiful Woody. My feelings as well. Take care. Enjoy life.
I have watched Grace all through AGT and as she has grown ... the Awards ... the 1st Album and at 68 years old having the privilege to see Skynyrd, The Beatles ... Stones and Giant Groups still be as popular today as they were when the started in the early 60's ... I have to Predict that Grace is going to be as popular in 50 years as she was when she won AGT at 12 years old ... a phenomenal Personality ... Best of Wishes Grace ... God Bless You and your Tremendous Talent ..
Jason Burkhardt That was beautiful Jason. I’m with ya on this as well. I filmed this and it still means everything to me. I’ll never forget that whole day. Grace liked my hat and John Lennon type glasses. I love this girl - she is from another world 🌍
Some people are born to entertain. Grace is sure enjoying herself doing so.
Tim McCrory and I love that she loves to perform.
Coolbreeze, I am 69 and I have purchased both her albums. I listen to them regularly, and I love these video clips. One person called her a prodigy who appealed to the old and the young. He was quite correct.
Grace is so wonderful Her band are so on point and the drummer is having to keep his equipment on the stage which Grace noticed and he was still on point of course the Key board player is really in charge so good even with a step in guitarist. Really like her band too and that makes her live gigs so special.
I wish I could see what you see there. Can you give me a time point? When you can?
Alan Tauber, this is a major service to humanity, thank you.
Yes, I agree. I sat next to Alan and stood in line with him for several hours. I would have stood in line to stand in line with him!
Nonduality We talked about how much our life’s are better for letting Grace into ours. We agreed that this energy is extremely rare and very needed in the world today and in our lives. Grace changes everything she touches! Great title there...
Hypermarlin - Thanks ... That´s exactly what it´s all about.
Well done grace😍🤗🇮🇩
I've heard those words before :) On AGT :) What more is there to say... Take care, go well and keep being you - be safe and with your family.
In Slovenia we know your name Grace, keep up to your dream... we will follow you and please come to Europe💕💕💕
All i hear is pitch perfect greatness. You are an angel, Grace. Keep inspiring us with your singing.
Well said. She's getting so professional without losing the little girl charm. She'll always have that. A real showstopping performer!
It must be an angel from heaven, yeah an angel from heaven alone.
A very special sound. Like a fountain in the desert, Grace makes our Life beautiful.
This girl is really amazing! Just mesmerizing. Im so looking forward to seeing grow and prosper as one of the best musicians of our day!
Right next to ya. Enjoy the ride! and thank you for commenting. Grace is awesome!
The Barefoot Songbird! Seen her in Chicago and Nashville and soon in Milwaukee. Can't wait!
Nice support David! Love it!
Alan Tauber I'm one of the lucky few Fanderwaals that got to meet her as Rupurt in Nashville. Ive seen Led Zep, Pink Floyd in 77., Zappa, and among so many, Grace at 14yo can stand talk with any of them. Go Grace! Thanks for the vid.
Hello David. Thanks for chiming in. I too have played with or opened for some of those bands in the 60's-70's and on. I still play and teach professionally. Grace is amazing and we love her.
So much energy
She is amazing on film, TV, in concert on TV or live. She is so sweet too. May she get all of her hopes and dreams.
It's amazing how she can present so many beautiful, incredible songs that make so much sense that they leave the joyful days with this angelic voice, congratulations and "success always" !!!!
Yes, She is that awesome! Thanks for listening to this recording. There is a full-color version I remade and got it up there but most people watch this one. ruclips.net/video/-aGQq2kdcTY/видео.html
And they’re all so different.
Thank you for making this video. when I went to this concert I had a blast and I couldn't record the show . Now I can show my friends what I saw. Thx
That is so cool Cindy! My pleasure. I never expected people would be watching this and all the 'hits' we got. I was not doing it thinking about 'hits'. I was actually going to make it private and send it to friends only. But now I've made a LOT of friends! All nice, good people. Thanks for helping Grace and Grace... thanks for being in our lives!
For many months, I'd thought "ACL" was her best and she would never make a better performance than that. But this is GOOOOD!! Especially "Darkness" is tremendous!! Isn't it, Patrick?
Hard to believe you said that so BIG Thank you for the kind words for the video and especially Grace's performance, style and energy! She is amazing. I went to another concert at a big stadium and was so far away from the stage with an iPhone it was almost impossible to record anything worthwhile. So, I learned. Get into the pit or first 20 rows of a concert to get a decent phone recording. Thanks again! Love it all! Also, please remember to bring earplugs to concerts. You only need one and switch it from ear to ear every 8-10 mins. That's the way musicians do it and the way I was trained. That way the muscles of the ear get to rest and you still feel connected to the concert and artist.
A big thank you for sharing the wonderful concert of this unimaginably talented young artist !!!
I agree with opinions that Grace goes straight to our hearts no matter where we live and how old we are !!!
Best regards from Poland !!!
ARN STG
It is my pleasure. I am a big fan myself! I love watching it and her other videos a lot! She's a national treasure!
I would even say that it is interplanetary wealth ;-)
Darkness keep chasing me touch me so much,I just love u Grace.keep on!beautiful thing also
She is a spirit we let into our hearts deeply. Way cool how her family and friends support her to the max! Love to all of you out there!
Anyone from Macau?
So so beautifull Ms. Grace VanderWall watching from the Phillipines
Oscar Hamtig Thank you. Blessings to you in the philapines
I'm from Philippines, too, and I've been loving this girl from AGT to her first movie Stargirl and even now. Such beautiful soul 💓 I'm always praying her beautiful soul won't be tainted by bad influences around. I love grace even if I'm a Filipino. 💓💓💓
@@julietiformes73 Many of us are very concerned about Grace and how she will deal with success and stardom. I will add that Grace has made some pretty awesome choices so far and we hope for continued fun, excitement, and good choices for her future!
Thanks for the video! Really like Grace, not just because she is a very unique and talented artist, but because she is AND is just so young and doesn't pretend to be older. She is just a teen, gawky, goofy, honest, real and sincere. To often young talents have tried to grow up too fast. And often times it doesn't go well.
Well said my friend. She is simply herself, Grace. And who wouldn't love to be her best friend! No-one. She's awesome!!
I really think it’s always important to mention the parenting she has and support from her brother and sister. At concerts I’ve met and talked with cousins and relatives... they all really seem to be great folks. Grace can make the right decisions musically and artistically and the rest is work but it comes naturally for her. She loves what she’s doing!
She so loves the admiration makes me melt bless
She does but she gives so much and she knows what we all want too! She is a very loving and giving young woman. Awesome person and they don't make 'em better than Grace and all the VanderWaals and fans - The BEST fans anyone could have! YOU!!
Like Tina and Dave Vanderwaal must be proud of their children!
I wrote to the family to express my gratitude for bringing Grace into the world. Sir Dave, you have every right to be amazed at your own children, both. Grace is a gift not only to you but now the world. Grateful for the guidance of the close family and spirit that holds it together and moves it higher. There is no end...
Right, thanks ALAN
Grace gets all the big attention, but her fans are very aware that she wouldn't be where she's at without her family. You can't appreciate her without appreciating her family at the same time. That is yet another one of her gifts, incorporating the power of family.
Well said my friend. She thanks her family publicly quite often and sometimes in song.
Everything I saw at concerts up to that point pales in comparison to this one. Since then, Grace has been the most impressive artist I know.
With Alan Tauber, the right man was in the right place at the right time. Thank you, Alan, for sharing these wonderful impressions with us!
Thank you, Joe. I really appreciate the comment. I tried really hard to get there the night before, and my only plan was to get to the venue really early so I showed up at 1pm for a 7pm show. No one was in line yet. I felt Grace was really going thru an awesome growth time and they had the ID tour coming up. I drove only 6 hours to get there and stay over and prepare with little pocket cameras in my pocket. Well, there was this sign I saw (a small one) 'no cameras allowed'. I tossed both cameras in my car and waited to get in. We were all having a great time waiting and getting to know each other. I made a few new friends which are so nice from around the world!
Anyway, I got to sit in the 3rd row and except for the tall man in front of me (family member?), it was a good place to shoot. I did NOT expect to shoot the whole show but it was so good I couldn't stop.
When I got home, I just pressed some computer keys and it looked like it would upload to RUclips and I went to bed expecting that it would never really work. But when I woke up, there it was! After a few people complained that the color dropped out in song 2 & 3, I went to the original files and reuploaded it but most people still go to the original version.
Making videos all around the world is something I've been doing on and off most of my life. I am also a musician, arranger, drummer, and I can spot a rising star who I seem to vibe with very easily. Everybody loves Grace! I was a musician starting in the mid '60s and her music seems to have elements of the late 60's and early 70's.
I got to meet Grace and get our picture taken in Boston and get a hug and a quick conversation. I am sure I said dumb things! But I was thrilled. I wish they would let me get a pass to shoot for them but I don't know who to ask. The video would have been much better. Have you seen her new video that came out today? AWESOME. Go Grace! thanks again, Joe.
@@AlanTauber-DrumConnection Thank you for the highly interesting information about your recording! It was obviously not an easy way to get there, but I think the result has more than compensated you. It's nice to know that you spoke Grace personally (and even got a hug).
When I first saw the concert on RUclips, my niece from the 'Goethestadt' Eisenach, Germany, was present (and a few more people). We were immediately enchanted by Grace, who has a wonderful character and is highly talented, as we know. And Antonia (15 years old) sang along to each song aloud. Luckily, she has a good voice! In Eisenach, all her friends know Grace and, like my niece, are signatories. On the same day, I also signed.
Thank you, Alan, once again. People like you are doing Grace a great service. Grace is truly an outstanding artist who will still have a lot of success. With her unique talent, charm and empathy, she has brought joy, courage and comfort to many people of all ages. Grace is the shining star in the sky of these people that they have been waiting for for a long time, whether consciously or unconsciously.
God protect you, Alan, and enjoy your memories!
Joe TomCat I love you Joe. Saying that was so kind and loving. We send the love to Grace and her family and Frankie too!
I would definitely give up my day gig to follow Grace around with cameras and I’m a recording engineer too. But, they really now are moving up to a new level. I am convinced that she is just moving up each week. When will we hear her on Radio? Top ten
@@AlanTauber-DrumConnection Alan thank you for the kind words! Sorry for my late reaction, but I was very busy the last few days.
From my point of view, it would be a good thing if you would record Grace's performances with your qualifications and your experience! Despite the not ideal conditions, I find the concert of Utica wonderfully recorded. The big man in the foreground doesn't bother much, his joy in Grace - and that of the others, of course - comes over well. The atmosphere is perfectly captured.
I'm looking at all the new videos about Grace with the greatest interest, and Grace on the radio would take this medium to a new level.
I hope you can renew your success soon! Do it well!
@@joetomcat7800 Thanks, Joe. I'll try but I can't afford to fly around all the time! :) We'll see. There are other very talented videographers who are Grace fans. You have to anticipate where Grace is moving next and never cut off the head. Know the music and the dance routine if there is one and try to focus on the Guitar, Bass, and Keys when possible but don't lose Grace! It's like mind reading, body language to guess correctly where she will be headed next (left, right up-down, etc.) Thanks again for your extremely kind words and you made my day. I had fun that night. It was a beautiful relaxed show with great, appreciative folks of all ages in the crowd.
Really its nice and even we can see her clearly performing
Thank you so much Alan Tauber, especially from those of us who may never see this phenomenon in person and have to rely on guys like you for us to survive. In the 72 years I have been on this crazy planet I have never seen a person on stage who is so polished and professional, so capable and in total control of the stage and the audience, and does this without anything that isn't completely just her. Even down to her dress sense is completely age appropriate, natural and yet as beautiful as any performer to ever walk on a stage. In a nutshell Grace is simply perfectly imperfect.
How about you think that you WILL see her and get to give her a hug. I believe that may happen for you. Where do you live? Maybe she's making a list...
Too my deep regret I live the wrong side of that big puddle they call The Atlantic Ocean, I feel I will just have to revel in her video's and CD's. Just grateful that I was allowed to live long enough to witness this phenomenon along with a few others (Alma Deutscher & Amira Willighagen). They have made my twilight years a pure joy & delight.
les cox Come on. Grace is making a list :). What country are you from?
That´s great!! I hope she put Uruguay in the list!! Do you have the opportunity to tell her?? I love her so much!! She´s a great big angel!! : )
I see you on every Grace video. You are such a devoted fan! It’s so sweet❤️✨💫🌟💯
Grace VanderWaal Performs 'Clearly' successfull perfect full love best world winnn, love just for you

I gotta learn how to do the video marking. It’s been a long time coming. I’ll google it!
Nonduality how have you been? I miss you sitting next to me at the concert. I hope I have your email somewhere so we can keep in touch. Seems like a lot more people ‘get’ what Grace is all about. Any confusion is gone. She’s the real deal - always has been. And to those of you who traveled to this show were treated to some awesome music, laughter, great dancing and strong band. It was a magical night!
Alan pls I need the video +2330249865476
What do you mean you need the video? I do not understand. Thank you for responding. You can reach me at alan@drumconnection.com Thanks!
Alan Tauber @@appiahobed191
Tengo 63 años. He escuchado a los mas grandes de la música. A todos. Ya
hacía tiempo que nada podía conmoverme. Hasta que , milagrosamente,
apareció esta niña en AGT y todo cambió. Ella es puro arte y talento.
Ella es aire fresco , ella es el futuro. Todo lo que ha compuesto me
parece de una belleza extrema. Y no tengo dudas que Darkness Keep Chasing Me ( La oscuridad sigue persiguiéndome) es la canción mas perfecta que he escuchado en años.-
Muchas gracias por escribir tus pensamientos y sentimientos. Darkness es una canción muy poderosa y hermosa, cantada por Grace.
I feel she's a gift to all of us from up above 🎼🎶🎸🎤
She has taught us love compassion and forgiveness , and that strawberries are delicious 🍓🍓🍓 lol
I love this! Yes!!! And a lot more huh? From how to apply makeup, wash your face after dropping your face into cheese cake, to how to light up a stage and change a stuck/fixed world into one you can live in with hope for a brighter future. We love you Grace :)
Alan Tauber all this is so true. The world really needs to give her a huge platform, and let her do her thing.
Thank you Coolbreeze. She's still at it and making album and song release decisions! Way to go Grace.
thanks for sharing this amazing talent of Grace Vanderwaal
MrMaxx456 Grace does it all and I just happened to be there. She is extraordinary! We all love her for her gifts to us! So thanks Grace; we’re with you through this whole journey. Count on that. Thx MrMaxx.
Thanks from Indonesia
:)
Grace says five minutes after getting home she missed touring. Thank god. That means I'll see her at some point.
Yes. She will be playing bigger venues so hard to get in the front if they still won't let cameras in and they won't which is cool. Less work for us amateurs :)
James Smythe
Keep hope alive. Grace WILL return with a vengeance!
you are the star of the people
beautyful ,great voice♕ of all peole
Thanks for sharing this video. I’m living in Taiwan in Asia. I think it’s hard to see her performance in my country. I am glad enough to find those videos that you shared with on the Internet. Thank you so much.🤝
I guess you love Grace too! I'm pretty sure she will travel to Asia someday soon! She's very busy now on tour and a new single to come out and then an album. Lots to launch this career! Thank you!
Grace always puts on a great show but this was exceptional. If this is a hint of what's to come, look out world!!!!
You actually made me cry when I heard you. I connected with you’re music and spirit since I heard I don’t know my name!
That is so sweet! Thank you!
Thanks so much for recording and posting. I too love Grace and I watch everything she does. I am looking forward to seeing her live when she plays near me. Very well done I totally enjoyed it. Thanks again.
Alan Tauber thank u so much sir for uploading the entire concert and in such amazing quality! you took so much of pains in recording this for us...really i do not know how to reciprocate your love and care for us....
Very kind. We all love Grace!!
Wow, so much energy. She never seems to run out of it. Wish I could have been there. Thanks for posting this. Almost like really being there.
Yes. After the night, the concert was a faint memory each day till I popped this together and now I watch it a lot! I do love that night. We have Grace and family to thank for this!
