I signed up for it; Will I be able to start it from the beginning anytime after 7C, or will I start in the middle if I come in a little late. I'm not expecting to be able to watch probably until 7:30 or so?

He actually did hallelujah chorus! On camera! Those notes are high! It was very intimate and I really enjoyed it. Definitely raw, but makes it more authentic, IMO.

Cheers!

I liked it. I was wondering if he was going to do "Hallelujah Chorus" and he did it and it was really good and he did hit the notes. I think his vocals sounded best on "What Child" & "Do You Hear". He sounds really good live(especially for someone in their 60's). He still has it and you have to wonder if when he is flat if he can hear his parts.

I watched it and loved it. I got a kick out of the "Hallelujah Chorus" story. 8) I did see where it said it was available from 12/22 to 12/31; I'll watch it again before then. I didn't see that it was available for sale anywhere but I may not have looked in the right place. Will it be available for sale?

It was nice to see John enjoying the Christmas spirit and singing his heart out. I thought it was interesting that John wasn't on camera for the high notes. It's too bad he couldn't have had a band and a live audience to go with it.

As a Kickstarter contributor, the CD was a great addition to my collection. Certainly a different twist on Christmas tunes.

John did a great job on the new Christmas ornament for my tree too!

That was from the concert in Godfrey.... not the pay per vire, just to be clear. In both cases he did an AMAZING job!

Man, that dude can still SING!!!!! I was skeptical when I heard the studio version of this song that there was some Autotune work here, but clearly he is doing it himself. Truly a God-given talent. Nice work John!

That is probably the best I've ever heard him sing, and I've seen him live four times starting in the Beyond Belief days. There are a lot of rock singers that have not been able to keep their voice more than a decade or two, but John truly still has it.

I hope someday Petra can do a Canadian tour again, it would be great to bring my kids to see them.
