I won a David Gray meet and greet last year in Portland. His music has carried me through some of the worst moments of my very difficult life. I asked him to write down the lyrics for Shine which is my favorite song of ALL time. He had trouble remembering them and I reminded him. He was so kind and generous with his time. I said I really hoped Shine would be on the set list and shared a little of my story and his manager said it wasn’t. I went to the concert later that night and at the end, his band walked out and he walked back on with a guitar and played Shine. It was one of the happiest moments of my whole life. He’s a great guy and I will be a fan for life.
I want shine played at my funeral......not just yet though. He pulled me back from a terrible place in 2007. He is the only artist to fill the gap that Elvis left in 1977.....
I could listen to this man perform for eternity. I discovered him 22 years ago. Definition of talent and class. I love that he wears a suit when performing.
Full setlist (with kind regards from the David Gray forum): Intro 00:00 (guitar played and recorded by David Kitt during the rehearsal sessions) Birds of the high arctic 01:30 Back in the world 10:00 As the crow flies 14:25 Mutineers 19:05 Last summer 25:20 Beautiful agony 30:45 My oh my 35:23 Fugitive 41:55 Alibi 46:10 Nemesis 51:50 Gulls 1:06:10 Shine 1:11:30 Falling free 1:17:50 This Year’s love 1:23:18 Sail away 1:28:30 Silver lining 1:34:10 Please forgive me 1:41:30 Babylon 1:49:49 The One I Love 1:54:20
Ha, back here after a year. Thanks for all the cookies. Didn't expect so many views for this great video. Great to listen back to (the) Mutineers (tour)!
Listening to this somewhere in North America, working at 3:30am, alone, seems like, always alone in our jungles of steel, listening to music in the background, youtube choosing what it wants, when this came on. The first song felt like a punch in the gut. And suddenly I woke up, realized I had been somewhere else for the past 3 years. How short our lives, and how little time we are even present. "Like the birds of the high arctic." Barren, frozen, dark.
Hey brother, we are all hurting from time to time, nothing in life will ever be perfect. However, try to stay positive because "depression" is a cancer to our mind if you don't control it. Life is so short but we Must give it " our best shot" because before we know it, we are too old & unable to "change" it due to circumstances that come with old age. May our dear Lord Jesus Christ fill your heart, mind & soul with His agape love. Invite Him into your life & He will guide you in a positive direction & "mind set". God bless you & all those who read this text message.🙏❤✌💚🙂
Once you've heard, or seen DG in concert, it stays with you. I often listen to his music when working. Babylon is soo nice. Missed this London concert but thanks a million to whoever filmed - sound is crisp and clear. Every song is incredible, a real pleasure. Thank you David Gray for all the music you've given us. Success is not all about top sales BUT talent, voice, tunes and melodies that touch our hearts, thrills our body and souls.
David G. Is by far one of the deepest lyricist. His ability to change instruments in the middle of a song is incredible. I truly enjoy listening to DAVID every night. Closing my eyes and getting lost in the music. Amazing, emotional gift.
Been a DG fan for almost a third of my life. He is special. He’s got the words that twist and make one think. This film is one of my very favorite. I could listen to this recording daily….DG makes music.
Totally forgot what David Gray means to my ears! Wonderful concert - "Last Summer" and "Gulls" just WOW. A proper english singer-songwriter - beautiful, thoughtful music.
Love David Gray with all i got!! Those "mick jagger" (dancing and jumping towards the end) moments are priceless... Seriously one of the most underrated artists of our generation..maybe it's better that way. Would love to hear more of the ooold stuff from the first 4 albums
I can't believe this video only has 129 likes - what is WRONG with everyone - shew-whizz The man is amazing - thank you for the upload JHG and mr. Gray for a superb concert
this concert is truly amazing. i had this playing in the back ground when my family was over dinner....i go in the living room to find my step-son and his 2 year old laying on the living room floor just intensely watching and listening. david gray is captivating.
I accidentally discovered David's TV show in a New York venue some seven years ago and was bowled over. Songs like Last Chance still haunt me; this man and his music is a genuine "keeper"
Wow Birds of the high arctic is such a powerful image. And a song to match. Haunting, like the darkness in the arctic, from someone who was there. The string is like the ice - piercing and blue, and yet all an illusion. Of frozen waters, at once liquid and weak and solid and cold.
This is just amazing, beautiful and fantastic piece of art. First song Bird of High Artic has a fantastic finish. Forunate enough to have tickets to his 2020 tour, hope it's as good as this!
Just outstanding.I’ve just given my two tickets to the big Christmas acent 2021 by the national lottery to my nephew he is a lovely young man and learning to play the guitar but inspired by my era (1990s/2000’s early) David is performing.David Grays music brings back a lot of memories for me x
First viewing, outstanding, Mr GRAY is a hugely important musical influence, from when I started listening, a folk artist to me, probably I could consider him the best folk artist from the UK ever. And that is a pretty massive f**kin accolade.
Pôxa, como é maravilhoso escutar David Gray e suas lindas canções... Um alento para os nossos corações! Abraços e saudações nordestinas do Brasil 🙏🏻🤗🌹🌹🌹
Omg. Thank you for posting this! I was only able to watch the performance halfway when it aired live in 2014 and have literally waited 5 long years to finish this program!
This is an incredible recording of this show! Wow! I've seen him 3 times in the US now. Totally blown away by what he writes and performs to a T. They just don't get any better! Love David Gray to the max!
I can’t keep this in any longer. I’ve made out w a lot of guys to this vinyl. They all thought it was special. It wasn’t for them, it was for me. Whew, now I feel better. How silly guys are, my dog and I would look at eachother and giggle….but i digress. ❤
It's these smaller more intimate venues that showcase extremely great musical talents like David Gray and this awesome symphonic band enhancing the beauty of his music and lyrics. Possibly his best performance other than his performance on that radio station studio I forget, where he played," Harder," and," Only The Wine," alone, while using the foot pedal recorder loop thing.
Only 16 comments? Surprising no? Saw him live in Barcelona 2002/3 - great time had by all. I was rather drunk, but not so drunk I didn't really enjoy myself.....

Beautiful story. Glad your wish came true. A gentle man
This guy is a hidden gem-what a voice
WOW! That sounds amazing! He seems so nice. Thanks for sharing Stephanie!!

The world doesn't deserve David Gray 🙏🙌✨💕
David Gray breaks my heart and puts it back together again.
David Gray is the highest level of songwriting and musicianship.

AFTER WATCHING DAVID GREY FOR AWHILE NOBODY DESERVES A BOBBLE HEAD DOLL LIKE HIM LOVE IT
David G. Is by far one of the deepest lyricist. His ability to change instruments in the middle of a song is incredible. I truly enjoy listening to DAVID every night. Closing my eyes and getting lost in the music. Amazing, emotional gift.
❤ Brilliant. Now that is what you call real music kids
so true!
I have a Therapist and her name is Music and David G is just what the doctor ordered..🎶🙏🎧
Been a DG fan for almost a third of my life. He is special. He’s got the words that twist and make one think. This film is one of my very favorite. I could listen to this recording daily….DG makes music.
Totally forgot what David Gray means to my ears! Wonderful concert - "Last Summer" and "Gulls" just WOW. A proper english singer-songwriter - beautiful, thoughtful music.
This audience was so blessed to experience this performance close up and so private....phenomenal.
I was first introduced David’s music twenty years ago and still one of my favorites today.
His music truly touches the heart.
I'm in awe of his talent! Never fails to disappoint. He lays it all out on the stage for his audience!
I love him!!!
My heart n'soul praises all of his compositions could ever even begin explain...
you mean never fails to impress , not never fails to disappoint

Phenomenal! Settle in for the rapture! Thank you David Gray. Wishing you peace, love & many blessings!
Love David Gray with all i got!!
Those "mick jagger" (dancing and jumping towards the end) moments are priceless...

He sounds better now than he did back then. Wow!
This guy is spectacular.

Gutted I had to miss his concert in Glasgow last weekend - one of the greatest musicians of the last 30 years.
Wow, amazing artist. This IS music.
Good lord this man is great. Thank you!
His music has carried me. Lift me up and put me down when needed. A true gem for our generation
Wow Birds of the high arctic is such a powerful image. And a song to match. Haunting, like the darkness in the arctic, from someone who was there. The string is like the ice - piercing and blue, and yet all an illusion. Of frozen waters, at once liquid and weak and solid and cold.

Un superbe compositeur de chansons, un sillage sans concessions, lumineux, un phare repérable de loin dans le morne océan de la musique actuelle !

I had 2 of his albums years ago & loved his music. I misplace those CD's, so finding this TH-cam version of an his music is golden!

David's songs are incredible and inspiring, I'm a fan of him.
An inspiration to your ears
Love evrything about him . His voice sooths my soul.
My favorite David concert! Thank you!

Unfortunately I can only like this once... Watched this live on Apple TV and was hoping to find it somewhere afterwards... thank you so much.
Beautiful...Just Beautiful
Simply the best.
Gulls is a hymn. Difficult to articulate how beautiful this track is.
Totally agree!
Completely agree however, I think this version felt a click too fast, even for DG. Felt just a notch rushed. Beautiful song. Stunning!
Wasn't even there and this was an awesome concert lol
Awesomeness personified
No one is like David Gray…no one!
