Choir! of 2700 sings Tears For Fears “Shout” at Massey Hall!

Choir! of 2700 sings Tears For Fears “Shout”
Our first show back in Toronto was EXTRA special:
Massey Hall, 2500 singers, Tears For Fears’ timeless anthem Shout, and the cherry on top… our buddy Peter Elkas nailing the iconic guitar solo!
It was THE PERFECT SONG to end the silence after two very tough years.
So sit back (or stand up) and sing it with us:
Shout! Shout! Let It All Out!
These Are The Things I Can Do Without!
COME ON! I’m Talking To You… COME ON!
Special thanks to Byron Wong and the entire Zero11Zero team
for making this video look + sound incredible, and to everyone
at Massey Hall for a great night.
We’re back at Massey Hall Feb 4th with our new show…
“WE WILL CHOIR! YOU!” - An Epic QUEEN Sing-Along!
Get your tickets now + become Choir! Choir! Choir!

I'm 70. I Iove these and really can't get enough. It's sharing love. Thank you.

[@AlexanderNg]

We shouted our hearts out that night

[@mikegunter8590]

Absolutely beautiful! I laughed and cried

[@AlexanderNg]

I could cry by just thinking about that night. It was like a full release of emotions - with a bunch of great people.

[@keithmills778]

And now you can say that you’ve performed at Massey Hall.

Make it happen!

[@hadschihalefkn]

You sure would be sued by Lawyers to the ground ..because u violated an ton of EU-DSGV and Copyright Laws .. talking about public performance ... hell ... or you had to book a bunch of lawyers and sell your Children before

[@Frodo1mln]

Ok adding guitar solo is awesome. Always.

[@abcgobri]

One of the most important songs in my personal soundtrack of life. Gorgeous version!

[@alphacause]

Of all the 80s songs that a large ensemble of singers can perform, Tears for Fears' "Shout" is arguably one that is made to be sung by a massive group of people. The chorus of "Shout" lends itself to the power that only can be generated by having numerous people vocalize it in unison. "Shout" has always spoken to the collective angst of the 80s generation in which it was intended for , but it stands as a timeless classic precisely because that angst transcends generations. You guys captured the strength, defiance and spirit of that song. Thank you for this inspirational performance.

[@danielleshanti]

Thank you for this and for the onscreen lyrics especially. Gosh, it's magic when thousands of people sing together. Would you please organize a worldwide event where everyone sings the same song at the same time? Like Earth Hour, but with song. Please and thank you.

[@sputnikalgrim]

I remember this video playing over and over on mtv when it first aired. We never turned mtv off in the early days

[@stormysyndrome7043]

Then it turned into a reality tv channel and destroyed themselves.

[@jeanine613]

Can't really call themselves "Music Television" anymore, can they? It's a shame. I feel like I lived and breathed MTV growing up.

[@Dieselsdog3]

Welcome Home guys, please keep on encouraging choir and voice and love of music for the world!

[@mikegunter8590]

Man, I would love to be a part of this once. Beyond awesome!

[@KenMurphy615]

Such an honor to be part of this return to the new normal. Thanks again, DaBu!

[@joanneraditz7501]

Let it all out!

[@yourtravelswithbruce]

Beautiful!!!!

[@unpluggedist]

Goosebumps song. Brilliantly done!

[@glennkammerer795]

Bravo! An instant CCC classic, almost reminds of the Before Times.

[@sherryyuanhunter]

I remember being there. We really had to work hard to get the ooohs and aahs done right, lol. It was so much fun.

[@musingwithreba9667]

That was AWESOME! 👏👏👏

[@genghis_connie]

This arrangement is gorgeous. I was. Waiting for the high “Let it all out.” Still just lovely. Thank you!

[@MattTee1975]

Same - that melody is kinda crucial to the song, imho.

[@genghis_connie]

@@MattTee1975 totally agree. It’s key to the song; the melody change has meaning.

[@MattTee1975]

@@genghis_connie Right? I actually had to stop watching the video cause it was bothering me.

[@progmeup]

You mean the WITH-out, COME ON part that originally came before the guitar solo and was also used by the band to signal the ending of the song live? Yeah, I missed that too.

[@genghis_connie]

@@progmeup No. - but that’s also a great stand-out line. This is a separate line than the higher ‘let it all ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-out.’ It’s the other change in phrasing and pitch - maybe 1/3 higher - that’s a solo voice in the original. I believe it comes after the solo, but I can’t recall right now.

[@deraldporter3828]

Thank You All!! 💖 These videos literally revive me and give me hope. Please keep going, you are making a difference! Love you all!

[@SWAB737800]

Great to see many regulars. The electric guitar add on was unexpected; and appreciated by my 80s self. Miss the bar, but it's probably grown too big for that now.

Your choir story is so cute, it deserves a nice Hollywood movie, let it this EPIC performance become a movie soundtrack guys, get in action everybody plizzzzzz, let it worth like Avatar fantasy on cinema screens friends, only seven billion dollars incomes, you deserve that much from my behalf Ok?

[@avenegas0691]

The vocal performance is outstanding. But... The percussion work was necessary though.

[@abrahamparnassus7560]

Someone please do this at the Ukrainian and Russian border. They need this now!

[@johngardner5660]

First of all I totally commend what these fabulous guys do and it's lovely to see so many people of so many different ages etc coming together to enjoy themselves. What I don't understand is the facemask wearing from a small percentage in the crowd. Do they genuinely think that they'll get protection from a flimsy piece of fabric in a crowd that big indoors?

[@Corgi_Saurus]

What I'm wondering is why the singers seem to be 90% women? Need more mess for some Bass and overall dynamic range

[@pattimurphy9896]

IO wonder why the folks are overwhelmingly white. need more color

[@alphacause]

You are correct. I love everything that this ensemble does, but there is a dearth of men and you can feel the lack of resonate bass. What an excellent observation.

[@TheSpupEh]

The choir has no formal membership - it's open to all so the make-up of the choir depends on who shows up. Everyone you see in that video had not heard the arrangement before they walked in. It was taught - by ear, with NO sheet music - in just a couple of hours. We can't help that C!C!C! seems to attract more voices in the higher range than in the lower range. It just is what it is.

[@Corgi_Saurus]

@@TheSpupEh I'm wondering if it's not the auditoriums causing the bass to dissipate. I do comedy (occassionally) and have noticed that in places with high ceilings the lower tones dissipate in the laughter which makes it feel lighter and less substantial. I've seen comics perform brilliant sets in theaters with high ceilings and afterwards the audience was "meh" because all of the punch of the laughter dissipated because of the setting. As sad as it is the location greatly effects the performance for all comics. Since these are unamplified voices I wonder if it's the same for CCC

[@TheSpupEh]

@@Corgi_Saurus yes, the architecture of Massey Hall could definitely be a factor, but C!C!C! does attract more people with a higher singing range - even when we had our weeklies, there were consistently more women-identifying people 🤷when I first started singing with them ten years ago, I was one of only a handful of male-identified people - and I'm a high tenor (or what's classified at C!C!C! as a "mid") so my voice isn't one of the resonant bassos either!

[@eddiemunster5520]

Too many.

[@pamelaegnaczyk8011]

TERRIFIC!!!
