The best Gethsemane cover you'll hear (Dan Vasc Reaction!)

[@rlee8235]

I'd never heard this version. Ted Neeley was original ....watch that one from the 70's.... but this man ABSOLUTELY nailed it!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness.......

[@CircleB-ig9mk]

Dan could make singing the phone book phenomenal. When he hit his knees... He took me with him. Goose pimples, tears and all!! 🙏🏻🎙️🎶

[@NanaKaren1953]

Not at all religious but this is CAPTIVATING. Always love watching it.❤❤

[@IsabelRavenscroft-sh2yk]

I am a Christian! And I can see Jesus sweating blood over what HE has to go through. Thank you Dan. This is the most beautiful song ever

[@darrenj.griffiths9507]

I'm not religious by all means, but I agree with everything you said here.... the performance was utterly phenomenal!

[@jdw9397]

WOW!WOW!WOW!

[@LHeyden-o6i]

SEBS…. I don’t know if you ever watch your own reactions. If you don’t, let me tell you what I saw. Your chest was visibly heaving…. as you wiped your face, trying to catch your breath. With your jaw open in awe of the powerful notes, you clung to every word. Feeling every individual word, every note. These reactions were genuine and true. Heartfelt. You watched, feeling the anguish of Jesus. Feeling all of his love for us, by his sacrifice. This is one of the most powerful performances Dan has ever given us. He most certainly put every ounce of himself into it.✨🙌🙏

[@laurasword4557]

100% agree. Your reaction was so real. Especially knowing the truth of the matter. I'm hoping others who don't get it see a glimpse of what Dan is telling us all.

[@AliciaCoughlin-td6lx]

Idk what was more entertaining the performance or the reaction! :) ok the performance but the reaction was a close second!!

[@bradjohnson4126]

that's pretty gay, dawg

[@laurasword4557]

Some can't see the forest for the trees. But that's OK. Timing is important.

[@marlena.34]

I came here to say this exact same thing. I was as drawn in to his reaction as I am by the song and performance itself. Very genuine.

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Excellent reaction. Thank you VERY much.

[@Carolyn-fb8is]

I just went back and watched the clip from the movie. Ted Neeley does a great job (and I am certainly a fan) but I think Dan hit the emotional power button on this one! I, too, found it hard to breathe during this cover. ❤🎶🫶

[@Mom-d7y]

Dan gives his usual epic rendition. Exceptionally well done. Thank you for reaction.

[@audreyterry1428]

He does an amazing job with this song. The true story however, is that He always knew. He was fully aware. He knew he was the perfect Lamb. If people only believed, they would be amazed. ✝️

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

I agree with that...He knew BEFORE HE (the WORD) spoke the world into being, what would be happening, down the line. In Genesis 3, you can read about that, in any version of the Bible. The "serpent" was told that though he had bruised the HEEL of mankind (stealing their authority over all the earth), there would come a day, when his own HEAD would be smashed in (re-taking that authority and giving it BACK to mankind). It had to happen, and it DID...ONCE...FOR ALL. However, Jesus (the WORD) DID have emotions to deal with at that point, and when you think through the emotions, they may be a bit "over-stated" by the people who wrote that whole section of the play, BUT...the emotions were put aside, and Jesus did what He had to do. As for the wonderful acting that Dan did, in order to present the song (that he didn't write...I think if he had, it would have been a bit different, because I've seen evidence that he actually believes the same way we are agreeing, here), in a very ANOINTED way. This is why the shivers and other evidence of the actual TRUTH of what would be happening, kick in. Holy Spirit is always telling me how much THEY (the full Trinity) love Dan. Thank you, Lord ✝.

[@annlandry5252]

No I seen when Ted nedly did it in 73. And I'm sorry he rocked Ted. Dy, I mean Dan's voice is clear and just beautiful. Technically Dan could have pulled it off beautiful. I love this performance by Dan. Thank you a lot for playing this and I love your reaction to dude.

[@donnawilberger8316]

So much power!!!

[@loriquinn2850]

You can see tears in Dan's eyes because he feels this in his soul. I love that as a Christian, Dan makes no excuses for his choice of music. I truly believe that he is sowing seeds. I enjoy your channel because of your knowledge as a musician and your Christian values. When you have Dan on your show you should greet him wearing a long dark haired wig!! Lori

[@Lorraine-z9t]

Your reaction is how we all reacted watching this for the first time and many times after. Such an amazing and powerful performance and it should have 10's of thousand more views. Epic

[@susansouthard]

Sadly this is video is so under rated, under watched! I knew you would love it! I've never see the show, but this cover by Dan...is beyond words.

[@MaryFaili-xz4lx]

He is mesmerizing in this role. He makes me understand the human doubting in the garden of Gethsemane, probably for the first time. I have watched this probably 40 times, and it grips me every single time, as if I am watching it for the very first time. He showed us a masterclass of how to inhabit a character and how interpretive music can upgrade feelings in the audience. He is amazing, completely, and utterly amazing. Thank you so much for reacting to this.

[@mkd78or]

One of his best performances

[@elissahunt]

I love Dan's performance of this. He put his entire soul into it. It does hit different. Thank you so much for your reaction.

[@davidmartinborough8642]

Dan is Amazing. I don’t know if it’s only me, but his styling also contributes to the effect of his voice on me. His look and voice compliments each other. 👍👍

[@linhager12]

So glad you are checking this video out. Needed a cigarette after watching this... Dan is beyond belief with the emotions he puts into his music... he pulls you in... makes you feel every emotion.. he could be on Broadway... but metal is his true love. Cold chills... in tears. Thank you for the great reaction

[@pibly7784]

The movie was awesome.

[@JackieJames-vq8jm]

Dans performance of Gethsemane brings me to tears. His voice and performance of this is quite literally out of this world. I loved watching your reaction to this :)

[@cs4849]

I always loved Ted Neely’s version, but every time I watch Dan’s version, I cry. So insanely powerful and emotional.

[@raskalkat9092]

This performance was pure passion. And as always the last 2 lines......if I wasn't already getting teary those lines do it. Great reaction. Hail ❤️🤘✝️ Happy Easter

Just beautiful! So much emotion.

[@donnafarran5326]

Thank you, brother for this wonderful reaction of Dan’s BRILLIANT MASTERPIECE!!!! We are wanting this earth to see and hear Dan’s heavenly gifts and to appreciate the dedication that he worked so beautifully on developing his massive skills that reach far beyond music alone. I loved your comments, and I pray you have the most EPICALLY JOY-FILLED DAY!!!! 👏🏼😁❤️

[@susanblauss1530]

Dan could for sure be on Broadway,his performance is absolutely epic!

There are many, many talented voice - but Dan is so awesome. He is the only one I can binge watch and not get sick of him. He just makes me want more and more. ❤

[@donnawilberger8316]

So TRUE….SO TRUE ❤️‍🔥

[@FloLvsDogs]

You were respectfully attentive until 4:48, when the anticipated 'awe-factor' hit (your accelerated breathing and open mouth said it all 🙂). What a wonderful reaction to watch (twice). Thank you. Agree 100% Dan's Gethsemane (among others imo) should go viral.

[@pbjabq]

Grabs me everytime. He truly relates the Agony of the Garden. My breath and heart stops when he hits his knees and the tears well up. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. ❤

[@70yroldGrandmaof2here]

Dan's Epic version , of him singing Gethsemane of course with his emotion and theatrics it is INCREDIBLE ! LIKE NONE OTHER❣️ Happy Easter to All 🙏✝️⚘️

Loved your reaction to this...I've seen lots of versions, including live....this hast to be the best. I'm in no way religious, but you can feel the emotions Dan creates.

[@loisrogers9042]

CHILLS!

[@tjw1972]

I love Dan’s cover of this song! It’s such a heartfelt performance that he does. Yes, scripturally it doesn’t read the same as the Bible but it doesn’t do any damage to my beliefs as a Christian (in Utah). In fact, it probably enhances my feelings towards what Jesus Christ suffered for me ( and all of us). It was kind of funny when you said it was getting hot in here and wiped your forehead, I had just thought the same thing as I was feeling a flush of heat going through me. Dan really pulls us into this performance. Thank you, Sebs, for reacting to this and have a beautiful Easter with your cute family. ❤

[@lkayh]

Goosebumps, every time. I could be wrong because of his super dark vocal timbre on the low notes, but it seems like Dan might have changed the key on this so he could start lower and still go crazy high. What a performance! Ted actually isn’t the OG, though he did the movie and his live performances all over America makes us think so. The original is Ian Gillian, who played the role in England and recorded the original album. His iconic performance of this song is hard to beat but I never make comparisons because everybody who is capable of singing this well brings something fresh and wonderful to it. That said I do have to say Vasc’s timbre (have to be careful with this word-my autocorrect always tries to make it timber-LOL) makes all my blood rush to my head every time I hear him. What a gorgeous voice-and I usually do not like metal. Great reaction!

[@Chrysanthemum828]

He's singing in the same range. His voice is just "darker", especially compared to Ted Neely's.

[@SylviaCovington-g1i]

Thank you for your genuine reaction to this performance. I watched you closely and I am pretty sure your breathing sped up and at one point you were holding your breath. It's the best rendition I have seen.

If you enjoyed Dan's cover of Gethsemane you will love his covers of The Witcher and the Phantom. Dan does so many covers that are EXQUISITELY done it is hard to choose so I chose the two covers that have gotten the most attention.

[@drw1974]

I’d watched this before and thought this was THE best sung, and performed of any ones I’d seen. Dan definitely is amazingly talented on so many levels. Could feel the emotion. Mesmerizing performance for sure.

[@JoanFrayer-kh6ez]

Dan is unbelievable performing this. I have listened and watched him sing this numerous times and each time I feel the emotion of his performance. He moves me to tears and I pray for all my sins to be forgiven. He portrays Jesus speaking to God before his crucification in a truly believable way. Dan is DANTASTIC!! He is blessed with an incredible talent. Huge Dan fan. Have a blessed Good Friday and Happy Easter.

This is by far the best version I've ever heard. It takes my breath away every time I hear Dan sing this and perform this. So much passion and expressions on his face, it sends shivers down my entire body. Thanks Seb, it remains impressive every time I look at it.

@@AitchBee01 He is/was and forever shall be the best JCS! I saw him in a stage production at the end of his JCS career. I could hear how damaged his vocal cords were and it made me sad. He will always be number one for me though.❤️

[@peterr8902]

Yes, Seb did a huge disservice to himself and his viewers by comparing Ted in his 60s to Dan in his prime...The very first watch should have been Neeley in the FILM in his prime as well...There's no denying Dan has a powerful voice, but acting-wise he cannot even come close. Also remember, Dan had Ted's original iconic performance to model & riff-off of, Neeley's performance was completely original and unique. There is no comparison at all...

[@shilohauraable]

Jeff Fenholt created this role on Broadway (that soundtrack is on KZbin audio). He was amazing, but really involved in the drug world. He later was radically saved and became one of the greatest evangelists ever in America! He recently passed on and into the arms of his Savior he loved so much. Heaven's Choir gained an amazing voice that day! ❤

I saw JCS 1972 in cinema when I was 11. I was totally hooked with this Rock opera and the incredible singers and music and I hear and watch it since then every year. Ted Neely was much younger at this time and his performance in this film was incredible. So it is unfair to compare it to Dan's version 5 years ago. I totally agree in Dan's singing it is also incredible. For me, nobody ever came near to Ted Neely 1971 except of Dan, he is on the same level. Perhaps you listen to the version of the film and compare this to Dan. By the way, the music in this film is so worth to listen to...❤

With ALL due sincere respect to Ted Neeley, I simply wasn’t moved the way I am watching Dan’s performance. It’s just an involuntary psychical & emotional reaction. It can’t be controlled.
