Recap: Teefly’s Danny Gokey Concert Experience (Orange Beach AL, 8/6)

Iheart follower Carmen aka @Teefly has written a great blog detailing her experiences seeing Danny Gokey for the very first time in concert, at his final Sugarland concert August 6th in Orange Beach AL.

Here’s an excerpt but don’t miss Carmen’s full blog with photos at http://teefly.blogspot.com/2010/08/danny-gokey-concert-experience.html

She also shared some partial videos that we’ve posted below <3

Next he sang “My Best Days” which the kid in front of me freaked out about. I thought it was awesome of course and was singing along. I liked his introduction for it too. He talked about how he had recently celebrated his 30th birthday and he wasn’t sad or depressed, but rather, he was celebrating life. It was very heartfelt and genuine. Danny appeared completely at ease in front of this huge crowd.

The next song he sang was “Be Somebody” it had a little introduction and then he got into it, running all around the stage and and singing with every ounce of enthusiasm he had in him. It was just incredible. He really can put on a show. You haven’t heard or seen Danny until you have experienced him live, it is a whole new level.

His last original song was “IWNSG” and he talked about Sophia for a bit and how he knew he would see her again in Heaven. It was a beautiful speech. He dedicated the song to everyone who had ever lost someone in their life. And even though I’ve heard it a million times I teared up and almost started bawling hearing it live. He just sings it with so much conviction it’s insane. It is probably the most beautifully sung song I have ever heard live and that is saying something.
