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.......

[@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.

[@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!! 🙏🏻🎙️🎶

[@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.

[@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

[@GrandmasGotGraceLW]

Excellent reaction. Thank you VERY much.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@susanblauss1530]

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

[@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

[@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 :)

[@carolinevoncanon8442]

When Dan gets in front of a camera performing his charisma turns on and pulls you in. He is absolutely captivating because he becomes who he is portraying. With that and his mesmerizing voice no one can come close to him.

[@margijohnson5728]

This is an an absolutely excellent performance by Dan!❤❤ He totally immersed himself into the part. It really moves you in the way it should. So glad you enjoyed it Sebs, thankyou😃

[@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

[@cheyennealice2010]

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. ❤

So TRUE….SO TRUE ❤️‍🔥

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

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. 👍👍

[@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. ❤

[@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!!!! 👏🏼😁❤️

[@kimsloan4652]

I couldn’t wait to see your face when you said you were doing Dans version…. I wasn’t disappointed. Great reaction and thank you for supporting Dan ! ;-)

[@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.

[@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.

[@Linx2Heart]

Totally incredible vocals and performance by Dan. Brilliant. There’s no better singer on the planet right now. Love him. Thanks for reacting! ❤️

[@MargreetJoosen]

Thank you for your heartfelt reaction, I've cried.. I have seen his rendition many many times and he hits me everytime, but even more when I see your reaction. He is so versatile in his emotions and expressions.

[@ruthleehernandez3344]

Totally agree 😢😮

[@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.

[@jdw9397]

WOW!WOW!WOW!

[@NativeTexan-fm5dy]

Love this rendition from Dan and love your reaction. The look on your face as he drew you into his performance was awesome.

[@Deborah-h3p]

Great reaction to this incredible performance by Dan! 😊

[@MelMac9098]

Just beautiful! So much emotion.

[@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. ❤

[@peggyeastwood5981]

He is so amazing every time he sings. This was really special!

[@anitasaint7717]

Great reaction and comments! This is the most Epic performance! Dan put his whole heart and soul in it!

[@RoGuimaraes]

Dan in this performance is simply sensational, surpassing all expectations about acting and vocals. tks

[@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 ✝.

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.

[@sachalessdarktide9813]

So glad you reacted to this. I still remember when I saw Dan do this for the first time. I love JCS and I absolutely love how Ted did it, but Dan takes it to another level, He blew me away and your reaction was so honest. It was like I was watching it for the first time ever. Thank you for bringing this to light for all to see again.

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.

[@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 would contribute to a fund to help raise funds for him to come to North America for a performance or is there an on-line pay-per view that someone could arrange for him?

Of course, I'm back on your channel just to watch their reaction to Dan's masterpiece. They were so spellbound, so fascinated and the fact that they consciously didn't interrupt was simply amazing. I can't understand why this song doesn't have more views. If you like watching an artist and their music, you can also listen to older songs. One is amazed at what hidden treasures there are that have received little attention. Which I personally think is a shame. Well, you have to work through over 240 songs first. Thank you for your continued support and sincere response to this epic song sung by Dan. Currently still 23500 subscribers up to 1 million...

@@LHeyden-o6i I believe this user isn't a native-English-speaking person. I've seen a lot of comments translated into English after a non-English person writes them out, and very often the gender gets mis-translated (it depends on what translator you are using). If the original writer doesn't actually KNOW English, that person won't catch the error. I may be wrong about that, but that's what I think.

[@judithw.2213]

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...❤

[@peterr8902]

Dan is a fine singer, but Neeley owns the role...✝️🌟

[@TheAnnestube]

It was so obvious you really didn't want to interrupt Dan's performance, which is understandable, it feels almost sacrilegious to do it. Imagine sitting on first row watching this - i think i would be unable to breathe the entire time. Such an amazing performance, both vocally and theatrically.

The video you watched of Ted Neeley was when he was older. I truly hope that you watch the whole JC Superstar movie.... just so you can experience it. It is incredible and Ted sounded different when he was younger singing this song. When Dan gets to the age that Ted was in the video you watched, you will be able to see a marked difference in his performance also. I watched an interview with Ted about when he made the video you watched. He said that all the while he was singing, he just kept wondering if he was going to be able to stand up afterwards. lol Age does strange things to us but please, if you get the chance, watch the 1973 JC Superstar film. It will move you. Take care and be well. Peace.
