There's a select number of artists that sound as good live as they do on recordings. Then there's even a smaller group that sound BETTER live, and Allen Stone is one of them. Not a single incorrect note, so much raw emotion and energy, and simply pure talent. Such an incredible musician.

@@sustainablemma283 Same here. Unaware was his big break but it is old. I personally like his newer "post love/Wiser Allen" material. He speaks a lot of his personal growth in his interviews from the last year or so and it shows in his music. His TEDTalk on mental real estate is a particularly good listen. He references how he moved on from carrying bitterness during the time period he was indebted to his ex manager and other stuff going on in his life. Great to see he's come out on top from that period of his life.

One of the rare artists that his live performances sound better than his records. You can't say that with many artists.

One of my favorite memories is seeing Allen a few months after I moved to Colorado. My sister and I went to a free festival (Chipotle was putting it on to celebrate the community. Random, I know) and some bands were supposed to be playing. The guy next to us was insanely stoked to see Allen play and was like "You haven't heard Allen Stone?! Oh man. You're in for a treat". I thought maybe he was exaggerating but boy, was he right. If you get to see him live, do it. The energy, love, and passion flowing through everyone in the space is almost tangible. I'll forever be grateful we took a bus across town for free food but ended up with a captivating experience and a new favorite artist

While not in my main rotation of music choice I have always respected Allen as a musician and love so much of his music - so wonderfully soulful! It's a sound you have to savor, it's so good I have to take time between listening so I can come back with fresh ears and an even better appreciation for it. It's music you want to miss for a while so when you come back it's just as good as the first time.

So glad my wife and I got to see him live again before the pandemic.... Having a bad day, put on some Al and it's guaranteed to make your day better.

Maybe they have different taste in music? No? Its okay to not like certain music.

Allen is like the new old school of soul man of music listening to his music is a blessing and gift from God keep singing my white brother 😌😊

He's exactly right, this is how people want to hear music! Pure Music without all the flashing lights & smoke. Just pure vocal talent .💞🎶

Never heard American Privilege. Clearly I needed to, and we probably all do.

R Prescott uhh, I’m white, and yeah. We do need to hear this song. It’s glaringly important, especially now.

​@@tuckerbayers6325 The song is called American Privilege. This is something that all races are afforded as long as they are a citizen here... read the lyrics of the song.

@@rprescott4284 He specifically mentions at the beginning of the song that he is white, a crucial component to American privilege. Certainly Americans are privileged in general in some ways, but so many unfortunate, oft-ignored Americans are not.

One of the best NPR performaces, from one of the best artists alive! Very strong emotions

I'm loving the harmony between him and the background singers. Great complement to his amazing power and pitch.

Give you Blue and Consider Me....WHHOOOOOWHEEEEE....powerful!

HE'S FINALLY ON NPR. YESSSSSS. I'm sad that he's not a secret anymore...

I seriously love this guy. He’s so humble and an insane talent.

There is something in his voice . His voice is really touched my heart.

Clicked on this by accident. Best accident ever. Loving the energy, you have a new follower.

my favourite song of his has to be Bed I made. if you haven't heard it. it's worth a listen

Been a fan for aggggggeeeeessss and NOW I'm seriously excited for this Monday gem.

Something is effed up in the game when cats like Allen aren't household names. But it's great to see bro still doing things his way.

In a weird way I’m happy when my favorite artist stay out the spotlight. I feel like once they get big the music get compromised. just hope he is making a good living and keeps true to the music and not get caught up in holly weird politics etc..

GOOD GOD this man is talented. That voice is absolutely spectacular. It sounds like it may be too high for him for a quick second, but then it just completely opens up and soars. It's magnificent.

I wish he would've performed "Unaware!!" I love that song!!

Allen your music got me through a deployment back in 2015. Congratulations on your beautiful marriage ❤️ So good to see you on tiny desk!!
