I have a friend who just happened to be in that audience that night. He said that people who were backstage came out to see who was singing. The audience gave the band a 10 minute standing ovation. I believe this performance is one of the top 10 live tv performances of all time. It’s almost unworldly.
That's a great story. I ran across it several days later on the internet. I had never heard anything by Disturbed before, and then I watched that video probably 50 times and showed it to everyone I knew.
@@warchaser388Yes, he would. People were making comments about how he sounded. A little bit different he didn't want to strain his vocal cords cause he was actually bad sick, but he didn't want to stand up his performance.
The insane thing about this is he was sick. Had a high fever. He absolutely blew this out of the water!! It's 100% better than the the video/studio version. Amazing voice!!
The "sick" myth is a lil overblown. He wasn't sick and had no fever. He essentially had a vocal cord injury that required surgery in the end. He had been putting it off because he was afraid the surgery would ruin his singing voice (a legit possibility), but not long after this performance he gave in.
@@Qmocean he didn’t just have a vocal cord injury he had BLEEDING LESION on his vocal cord. Any singer could tell you that to perform at this caliber with that injury is insane. I agree. I have no idea where the sick myth came from. very possibly from them. But my aunt is classically trained, and this performance blew her mind knowing what he was dealing with.
David Draiman is classically trained, and in his younger years, he was classically trained as a cantor, who is someone that sings liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue. But after being expelled from three different yeshivas and blowing up his high school rabbi's van, Draiman wasn't cut out for the seminary, and the rest is heavy metal history 😎
Because of how sick David was that night, he was sitting down to perform. Apparently they wanted to use auto-tune because of him being sick but he absolutely refused. He is a beast. Just incredible.
David Draiman is one of the best voices in modern music. But because so many of Disturbed songs sound similar nobody realizes he has such an angelic voice.
@dalehammers4425 No doubt. That is one thing I loved about the Conan show. He was not afraid to feature music guests that other late night programs passed on. I'm not sure why but I missed this episode. Conan is just not the same now without Max Weinberg and the original studio band. Anyway 😮. Yes this arrangement with the different piano has a much bigger haunting sound to it. I'm glad I found this.
When Disturbed was on that late night show, David was sick with a fever so he wasn’t 100%. David’s parents Jewish parents sent him to orthodox schools for him to train to become a Rabbi. Although he doesn’t practice his faith, he is a trained Cantor. He is a well trained vocalist and knows how to protect his voice.
The whole "sick" thing turned out to be a myth. He had a vocal cord injury and it was recommended that he didn't perform. He had surgery shortly after.
@@emerje0 Well lets get it from David himself, perhaps it wasn't flu but i assume that you have yourself suffered from a number of lesions on your vocal chords so you know how easy it is to carry out such a mediocre performance with such a small injury: www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=disturbed+the+sound+of+silence+was+david+sick#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:1b9a6b8c,vid:idFt3y9HlYI,st:0
@emerje0 That isn't true. I seen him in an interview where David Draiman admitted that he had influenza. Get your facts straight. And another thing too; he got pissed off backstage about them using autotune on him
I saw Disturbed live 3 times when I was in college. Even if their style of music isn’t your cup of tea, there is no denying that Dave Draiman is a world-class performer. I’m a fan of many genres and he is in a category of his own for sure. I’m so glad they did this cover so millions of people outside of the metal crowd get to hear and appreciate his talent.
I was at Rockfest in KC years ago when he did this song and the entirety of the 50,000 person audience was absolutely dead silent (no pun intended), just listening in absolute awe.
That he performed this beautifully while seated and sick to boot speaks volumes about his training and ability. Being seated always diminishes a part of the breath control, in some singers more than others . I was a rock singer in my youth, and I found it more difficult to sing well while seated. I believe Disturbed was awarded a Grammy for this live performance. Such artistry!
Agreed. I think some people sing better when they are performing with live music. It gives them an energy and inspiration that they don't get in a studio.
This live version of the song by Disturbed is my favorite of all other versions. Including Disturbed's music video and the original song from back in the day. Obviously, that had to exist for this to exist, so obvious mad props given to the writer or writers of the song. This live version is just so very powerful to me with the orchestra in the back, and honestly, I think the fact that he was sick and losing his voice actually contributed to the growliness of his voice at some points which I think made it sound even better than the music video.
FOR ME . . . the signature of a true talent is their ability to not only duplicate the studio version, but will ALMOST ALWAYS sound better in a live. Why? They feed off the crowd and the momentum of the moment and their TRUE TALENT keeps them on course as they perform in a bigger and even better way! Blessings
I just saw Disturbed last month. They have been my favorite band for 20 years but never had a chance to see them live. Hands down the most real representation of voice, emotion, and experience I have ever seen. David was flawless. So impressive.
I love his amazing voice… more impressive that he was really sick when he performed this and still went out and gave an amazing performance! I love his cover of this song soooo much.
The whole "sick" thing turned out to be a myth. He had a vocal cord injury and it was recommended that he didn't perform. He had surgery shortly after.

He was high when he recorded the song. The day he recorded the song he didn't think he was going to do any vocals that day so he had indulged in the thing he does. It took about 3 hours for him to record this song because they didn't know how they wanted to do this song. The only instrument that was already recorded was the piano. He cried when he heard the finished song for the first time. He hadn't heard himself sing in that tone since he was a teenager. David is a trained Canter. He did the training as a teenager.
This was actually the debut - before the recorded version was released. ALSO - he was ill with a fever and still knocked it out of the park. AND IF THAT WASNT ENOUGH, he was pissed that the audio team dared to autotune him as he wanted the raw vocals to go out.
I can think of two amazing songs live- Chicago "25 or 6 to 4 " tanglewood live BLOWS away the studio version, and Heart doing a Cover of "stairway to heaven" live at the kennedy center was ridiculous
David Had A Lesion On His Left Vocal Cord That Night ! He Was Full Of Prednisolone To Help With The Inflammation ! Also Had His ENT Team Ready If He Needed Them..Amazing Amazing Version Of SOS...❤ ❤
This song I believe is about how music 🎶 stopped being played and how people stopped talking and listening when the neon God they made😮 came out which was tv 😊
Nothing can break my heart or turn me into a super fan, like a live performance. Recently went and saw Depeche Mode live, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for their music. Amazing live show. To the point it was the best live show I had seen. Well until seeing Heilung live in October... and that show blew any previous show I've seen in my life... right out the water!!! ❤
I am a very old fan (50 years old) and I saw Depeche Mode in September 1993 at Madison Square Garden in NYC. David & Martin's voices were IDENTICAL to the recordings! I can still remember getting the "chills" when Martin sang "Somebody." I am glad to read that Depeche Mode is still killing it live 30 years later. :o)
Not about Depeche Mode who I,would love to see. But I have seen Queen with the brilliant Freddie Mercury, and that for me has been the most amazing show that I have ever and will ever see!!
I totally agree with you. Even agree about Blink 182, I was disappointed in that one. Anthony Ray also reacted to this version and messaged you during the reaction. He was so impressed. I love the dynamic you have with other reactors. Keep up the awesome work.
My favorite version! This live performance had more humanity than the official studio version. Yeah, I know the Conan production folks used auto tune and David was pissed, but personally this was my favorite. Sometimes the imperfections make things better.
This live version is, I agree, even better than the recorded studio version. And to think he was very sick during this performance. David's voice is so incredible! The emotion in this performance fives me chills and that angst bu8lds in my chest....
Hello - Kathy here - yes, this live version is amazing. The only difference in this one and the video version, is the first line he is singing in a lower register, but due to the injury to his vocal cords, he didn't go down as low as he did in the studio version. But this one is stunning. Thank you for your reaction. Love this song!! Have a blessed day.
This performance is crazy good even with the really bad cold he had. I love his version of this song. It is awesome. He also had years of classical training which he said has helped him to be able to sing like this. Awesome!!
The live version is definitively better. And Paul Simon was so impressed that he reached out to the band and basically told them it was their song now. I get chills every time. I have seen vocal coaches reduced to tears by this performance.
FALSE. Paul Simon shared it on his social media but HE DID NOT tell Disturbed it's their song now. This is a MYTH circulating RUclips, regurgitated by people who don't know how to Google. These people are conflating this song with 'Hurt' in which the original singer DID tell Johnny Cash that it's his song now. Let this myth die now.
Great reaction, so glad that you appreciate David's amazing voice. My dad always called that show the Gonad O'banion show while pretending he didn't know better. 😆
It’s so crazy, he was so sick that he had to be sitting in a chair, because he couldn’t stand for the whole song. I think this is one of his best performances of this song ever.
And true voice! No auto tune. Some people say different, I truly don't think it's true. I think this is 100% pure. Even if it's a bit tuned, so what...he is amazing!
Apparently there was at 2:40 min (in the Conan Video), then David looks into the camera very quick. Apparently Conan's Techs put it on the Microphone against David's wish and he heard it and that was his reaction, that's why they immediately turned it off again. Can't find the damn article anymore where it was said. So, you can take that with a grain of salt. Sorry.
Not sure why this is a debated every time again: There is clearly Autotune in this performance. Maybe because David was sick, maybe against his will ... who knows. David is without doubt an excellent singer. Period. Here another (official) live recording - without Autotune: ruclips.net/video/2o1p83UjJFA/видео.html Also a great performance, but the voice clearly sounds more human, with some lively imperfections.
There was auto tune and I did read David did not want it on but it's not his show/techs so out of his hands. But tbh he's better with it off, it's more raw and gritty. I think be beleives the same so prefers it off/minimal for some correction
Best live performance of ANYTHING I’ve ever seen!!! (I’m 66; also, I agree this is better than the studio version, especially with the beautiful atmosphere/visuals!) ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️
Yes! His voice is ALWAYS better live imo. The tone in his voice is something you really should try to experience live in person if you can because you really feel it in your bones. I've had the pleasure of seeing Disturbed live several times and was even lucky enough to chat a bit and get an autograph signed by him and he's also a very gracious and kind human being.
I got to hear this twice at Download Festival, UK, and the crowd of almost 60k maybe more was dead quite, no noise at all from us. It was awesome to the point that the hairs on my body were on edge. So powerfully peaceful
I just watched an interview with David and he actually had a bleeding lesion on his vocal cord. Which in my opinion is hella more impressive than if he had the flu. Don’t know where the rumor started that he was sick, maybe from them.
That is the level of a properly trained vocalist. He is classically trained as both a singer and a cantor. You cannot beat that!. Autotune is the bane of the music industry. It allows mediocre voices to sound good.
I'm absolutely nuts over this performance!!! Brought tears to my eyes, even though I've watched it a hundred times. Guess it's been awhile😊 I like the live better as well. Really appreciate your reaction to this💜
I've seen Disturbed live lots of times, they put on an amazing show. David has trained his voice, I don't remember how far his voice training went. I feel the big difference between your basic bands and great bands is amount of training and practice.
He is a trained Jewish cantor. That is why his voice is so clear, loud, resonating, and perfect! I can't believe how excellent he sounds having the flu as bad as he did. Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This song, written by Paul Simon, started out as a folk song that went nowhere. Paul Simon was in England trying to make a career for himself when the record company took the recording, upped the tempo and added the backing band. It became a major hit and Simon and Garfunkel became big stars. But at 72 years old, I love this version. It has so much more character and feeling than the original. Thanks. Nice job, BTW.
I've heard you say you are spiritual. There is a Christian band called ApologetiX that does biblical parodies of popular songs. Their take on this one is called Sounds of Sirens. I highly recommend them.
6:45 I saw the moment you got goosebumps. Absolutely understandable. One of the greatest live performances of all-time, and I'd put my name on that. Great reaction!
Both your guyses independent reaction was crazy wish you would have done the live version together. But we got a couple more reactions out of you reacting to the music video first

Saw this before the music video and it absolutely blew me away. Ultimate performance
I saw them live back in 2019 and hearing this song in person was absolutely breathtaking
Disturbed live is always better than recorded ... and recorded, they're amazing. A very tight band, and incredible music.
I saw Disturbed at Ozzfest in '00 in Dallas, their debut album The Sickness had only been out for about 5 months, I've been a fan since then.🤘🤘
The live version is definitively better. And Paul Simon was so impressed that he reached out to the band and basically told them it was their song now.

It’s so crazy, he was so sick that he had to be sitting in a chair, because he couldn’t stand for the whole song. I think this is one of his best performances of this song ever.
It blew me away. And I'm 80 (almost). I am loving your reactions to "my " music. BTW, consider the barracuda a cold-hearted predator..
This live version is the best.
Disturbed and Miles Kennedy live in Houston. Sound of Silence rocks go look at the video !
His voice is Epic. Just saw them live and they are amazing.
Draiman is AMAZING live. He's a true talent. ❤
And true voice! No auto tune. Some people say different, I truly don't think it's true. I think this is 100% pure. Even if it's a bit tuned, so what...he is amazing!

Your mind will be blown. 🤯
BP, if you like amazing live performances, you HAVE to check our Chris Stapleton!! His live performances are just as good as his recordings
This was just beautiful...loved it.😊..
Wow wow wow wow, thanks for sharing this, wow wow wow
The concerts are beyond anything you will ever hear. Always have chills hearing them.
Going to see them on the 19th of thos month. Cant wait to hear this song live
You must listen to Dimash kudaubergen…. He sings live so perfectly
This is much better then the record, or at least the video, the music isn't drowning out the vocals.
I think most of us saw Anthony Ray message you and tell you about this performance.
Want a brilliant live reaction look at John Farnham cover The Beatles 'Help'
What reputation?
Don't know that you have much of a reputation to put on the line... But it's safe because the live version is 100% better
If you want an artist that consistently is better live. React to Dave Mathew’s Band Live.
I just watched an interview with David and he actually had a bleeding lesion on his vocal cord. Which in my opinion is hella more impressive than if he had the flu. Don’t know where the rumor started that he was sick, maybe from them.
That is the level of a properly trained vocalist. He is classically trained as both a singer and a cantor. You cannot beat that!. Autotune is the bane of the music industry. It allows mediocre voices to sound good.
I'm absolutely nuts over this performance!!! Brought tears to my eyes, even though I've watched it a hundred times. Guess it's been awhile😊 I like the live better as well.
Really appreciate your reaction to this💜
I've seen Disturbed live lots of times, they put on an amazing show. David has trained his voice, I don't remember how far his voice training went. I feel the big difference between your basic bands and great bands is amount of training and practice.
He is a trained Jewish cantor. That is why his voice is so clear, loud, resonating, and perfect! I can't believe how excellent he sounds having the flu as bad as he did. Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lots of people out there think that metal singers are not talented, in fact they are typically more talented that the run of the mill artist
This one always brings a tear whenever I watch/listen to it.
Just gives you chills.
This song, written by Paul Simon, started out as a folk song that went nowhere. Paul Simon was in England trying to make a career for himself when the record company took the recording, upped the tempo and added the backing band. It became a major hit and Simon and Garfunkel became big stars. But at 72 years old, I love this version. It has so much more character and feeling than the original. Thanks. Nice job, BTW.
Love your reaction! Luv from Australia ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
He was very sick that night and still hit the ball out of the park! David didn't want to disappoint his fans--that's why he is sitting down!
I'm 58yrs old and "The Sound of Silence" was the first song we learned in music class in the 4th grade. This is the best version I've ever heard.
This song gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it! Absolutely adore his version of this!
I love that 2 seconds of silence when the song is over before the audience erupts❗️❣️❗️❣️❗️❣️
Its great to see a completely different genre of music reacting to other genres snd and loving it , brilliant 👏
I've heard you say you are spiritual. There is a Christian band called ApologetiX that does biblical parodies of popular songs. Their take on this one is called Sounds of Sirens. I highly recommend them.
6:45 I saw the moment you got goosebumps. Absolutely understandable. One of the greatest live performances of all-time, and I'd put my name on that. Great reaction!
Both your guyses independent reaction was crazy wish you would have done the live version together. But we got a couple more reactions out of you reacting to the music video first
I agree this was great, better than the video I saw you reacted to! Love this song! Love you too ❤
