David arrived in Indonesia on July 14th and was greeted by adoring fans.  I stayed up way past my bedtime to watch it unfold via live stream.  It was thrilling to vicariously experience the fans’ anticipation and mounting excitement.  I had to laugh at their decision early on to maintain composure and not scream.  Well, that idea quickly flew out the window once they caught a glimpse of the band members, and it completely evaporated once they saw David!!!  Here’s a video showing the final moments.

David Archuleta & Brad Paisley perform at Stadium of Fire

Performing yesterday for a crowd of about 50,000 at America’s Freedom Festival in Provo, Utah, David Archuleta almost out-sang himself on “The Star Spangled Banner”. The song started on the big video screen showing a 2003 performance of the 12-year-old David, with the 20-year-old David picking it up at “What so proudly we hailed….” What an excellent way to start the National Anthem, especially for David’s home state crowd, many of whom have followed his career since his childhood.

Later David sang a beautiful medley of two favorite patriotic songs: “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” and “America the Beautiful”. The minor keynotes and creative phrasing are simply gorgeous. David’s voice is amazing and he was in the best form yesterday. I am kinda envious of all the Asian fans who will soon get to see and hear David in person!

“My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” / “America the Beautiful”

Then David launched into a performance of his own songs before introducing Brad Paisley.

“The Other Side of Down”

“Stompin’ the Roses”

“Crush”

“A Little Too Not Over You”

Last night David Archuleta took the stage at the annual MayFest in South Carolina. What an exciting evening filled with many DA songs we all know and love. In addition, David put his own soulful spin on “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears, “Blackbird” by Paul McCartney, and “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton.

Here’s an all-time favorite of mine, “My Hands,” from David’s debut album. If you don’t own this album yet, you must buy it now!

You can watch the full set at Archuleta FanScene.
