I have always been astonished he hasn't been contracted to do this version for a major sports franchise! It would be out of this world and the fans would freak! David Rocks absolutely!
@Douglas Palmer it's actually the 1st and 4th stanza that David sings in this version, as it's now considered rude to our allies in the UK to sing the 2nd and 3rd stanzas
Great rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. One of my all time favorites. His sister is singing backing vocals. You can see her at 4:48. She sadly lost her battle with cancer in 2012. David has an amazing gift that he uses for God.
I was there!!!! And yes--it WAS just as powerful as you'd expect anything from David to be. I also appreciate this version as more often than not, freedom is a huge struggle, not easily won. (And don't even get me started on that top note!!! :D )
What a rendition and ONLY David could’ve pulled it off! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear our National Anthem sung and David does it best. Thanks Lyle! 🇺🇸
Hi Lyle I'm 'that someone' who posted in Twitter and FaceBook...lol aka LindaGee I just had to get it to you lol. And your 'reaction' was everything I knew it would be' When "Kashmir' rolls in, it somehow makes this spectacular anthem more intense. And holy cow that last note sends chills down my spine....David is just on a different level than most. I keep going back and replaying it...lol How on earth hasn't he won an Emmy for his outstanding musical genius is beyond me. Thanks for this 'reaction'
Think "God Save The Queen" with ACDC's "Highway To Hell". 😀 Davidson talent is from another world. Thanks, L, for another great reaction. The look on your face when those first notes of "Kashmir" were played was absolutely priceless. Stay Safe!
I sent this to Patrol Gaming on Thursday or Friday. I was shocked to see it was done. Must have been more than one request. I figured you would love this
Another awesome David reaction!! I’m still cracking up at how quickly you realized your comments were gonna get blown up by Americans after you implied (and promptly corrected) changing the US national anthem. “…I’m not even going there…” 😂😂😂 Truly love the person we see here in your vids, brother. I think I speak for your many fans all over when I say I would be honored to meet you one day. Keep up the awesome work! You really do bring joy to so many.
you must watch..."the star bangled banner, as youve never heard"....its the true origin of the anthem...it will seriously bring you to tears..and im from the uk
This is one of the special talents of David being able to create musical arrangements that are absolutely genius. I think he likes to surprise his fans with his crazy arrangements. He always does something like this to leave your jaw dropping. David did much the same to How Great Thou Art by adding an upbeat pop rock flavor to it which had John Owen Jones in awe. Who knew that would work but David. LOL.
It works so well because, David Phelps has the FAVOR OF GOD & He uses his GOD-GIVEN talent ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD !!! Ive been to many Gaither “concerts” in my life when the quartet was Bill, Mark Lowry, Guy Penrod & David Phelps (still the best in my humble opinion) & David has never ceased to amaze or greatly bless me with his amazing voice & ability to cause us to actually feel & experience whatever it is he is singing. He is such a humble & personable man of God also !! To God be the Glory & that is exactly what he lives & does !! God bless you Lyle !!
Haha - I had to watch this twice straight through!! I thoroughly enjoyed this version by David ‼️ He is a musical genius! Thank you for reacting to his videos!! Loved this one, and your reaction was awesome 👏🏻 🇺🇸
🤣 "Wait...what...what...what?!? Led Zep, David & national anthem...can't compute! I laughed out loud at your reaction. Then with the "Play ball!", I about fell out of my chair. Your reactions truly are the best Lyle.
Listen to David's "Rain" ,for a little taste of the Beatles guitar riff from "Something"! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ll33rylKEYA.html
Hi! Just Subbed after Watching Your reaction to Toby Keith's Red White & Blue. GReat reaction to that and George Straight, Glad to see you do country. THis is beautiful too for the 4th today! I did see NF on playlist but saw you haven't done " Story" yet. The most unique mini movie done to rap I've ever seen. I'd love to see your reaction to that. Also didn't see any Tom Mac Donald, so please choose one. # on youtube trending this weekend. Among other accolades. 100% Independent, no copyright worries.
Think of a baseball park with about 60,000 fans, at least a third of which never heard David sing before, and then bring in the Led Zeppelin music to the second verse and you would have converted thousands of non patriotic Americans
