There’s a reason my wife and I saw this tour 4 times. Every show I was moved by a different song. Just incredible work and the reason I am a fan for life.
Really enjoy your music. It's got to be amazing to do what you do and have it affect people's lives in such a positive way. I would give anything to be able to put how much I love my Son and what he means to me in a song. He's young and I just think that music great way to express your feelings and it's just forever. And I love you doesn't scratch the surface of how I feel. Sorry im rambling. Like your song I will always be yours. Freakn amazing!
Yep, I’m sobbing. I’ve seen you six times. The first time, I didn’t even know who you were. The energy of that theater at the Tabernacle was why I will keep going back to see your shows. The amount of heart and soul, you put into your music is what made me listen to you non-stop for months on end. The fact that you prefer the “normal life” makes me respect you. I even saw you at Baja Burrito once and didn’t say Hi. This video is an amazing representation on all of this. Luke did an incredible job. Thank you, Ben Rector. God brought your music into my life and it played a part in changing me. ❤️
Mr. Rector... My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed your show in Portland, Oregon!!! It truly was one of the best shows we've ever been to! We're fortunate to have shared in the Magic that is your music!!! Until next time!
I saw the show 3 times and each time was more special than the last! You write melodies to stories that we’ve all lived but didn’t have the words to re-tell. You bring back beautiful old memories while creating new ones. I’ll never forget getting to sing on stage with you in Athens, GA. I called one of my “old friends” after the show and we talked for hours. I couldn’t help but remember the two of us playing our guitars and singing your songs for strangers in Athens years ago and being grateful for the journey! Thanks for the memories!
This was the most beautiful concert I have ever had the privilege of seeing. From start to finish, everything was designed by a true artist. Every second of this concert felt special. Love love love!! Can’t wait for the next tour!
My brother has been in the ICU for almost 2 months and your music just fired me up to change my style my ways and the way I look at life with my little 1 1/2 old son Luke in this world . thank you so much Ben and the band. I’m ready to change making this next season the best ever Love you guys. Your Friend Sean
Ben, Everything you said in this video I feel like I experienced it with you when I saw you in TN. I feel your energy, and your love for music is so contagious that it makes me just forget everything and get caught completely in the moment. But in those subtle pauses between songs when you talk, I also hear your longing to be home. It makes it almost a bittersweet but amazing experience for us as fans, because what you give up to share your talent and love of music with us and have fun. You are a remarkable artist, but an extraordinary guy. I always say to my friends when they ask me who my favorite artist is, Ben Rector, yeah he has amazingly creative music that feels modern and retro, but more so, he invites me into the experience. Also, I’m a pre-med student, however I just don’t feel quite drawn to it like I used to.. but I think I have decided to pursue music. I don’t know what that looks like yet, but you played and still play a huge role in that for me. You are the greatest, you will always have me as your most endearing fan and friend
I love how Ben talks about love. Is a very non-cynical beautiful way. In the Brand New álbum you can see that very clearly. He talks about romantic love, sure. But he always talks about self-love, and living life to the fullest, respect and seizing the day. I really like it. And is never cheesy or corny I really vibe with that
Bro. I’ve been a fan since the twenty tomorrow days (side note: can you put that on iTunes? Amazing was one of my wedding songs and my iTunes deleted it and I don’t have the CD anymore). I went to a show you did in pomfret my freshman year of college. My husband bought me tickets for the Dallas show this year and I gotta say, I was proud of this show for you. From your humble beginnings to a tour of this size and skill level is quite the accomplishment. Be proud. You deserve it.
Because of you my best friends since I was 2 years old and I got to sing old friends together at your concert in Madison. We will never forget that moment because of you. Thank you for being such an amazing artist, we love you!
THANKS Man for ALL you do! Keep being YOU!! Your music has had a HUGE impact on my life and been listening for over 10 years!!! So glad to see you having all the success you are having :) Rock and Roll
This is incredible. I'm so speechless. Luke killed this, and the San Francisco show was just perfection. Thank you for sharing your heart with us, Ben.
This tour was the best tour I have been to! Ben, I’m glad to see you feel at piece with where you are. You are authentic and unique and that’s what I enjoy most about your music but personality! You are fun to listen to and I recommend you 10/10. Why can I say.. okies are the best!!
As someone who saw Magic: The Tour twice, I can say this video truly does the tour justice! He captured all of the emotions and spectacular moments. Wow wow wow!
This. This perfectly captures the reason I saw this tour three times. There was so much emotion in this tour and I’m so happy Luke was able to capture it all.
I saw you in Denver and it was probably the most fun I've ever had at a concert. Your energy and love for music in infectious, thank you for sharing it with us.
Last summer I was dating this girl, and while dating her I discovered Ben. Since then she has broken up with me, but I don't plan on breaking up with Ben! He is sooooo good and so humble!!
I wish this was a full length film. This made me so so happy. Being able to be at one of your concerts was incredible! The authenticity you bring is unmatched. You’re so real and that is so appreciated! You deserve to be home with your cute fam
Man what a sacrifice it must be to be away from your family and your home life. Thank you for doing that for the people, seriously. Even tho the people that get there early and line up or even the people who have gone to every tour (guilty on that) may weird you out, just know and hold onto the fact that your music inspires us and truly grabs us which is why we all love you so much. Thank you for another great concert and great music! You da bomb.
Absolutely loved my time seeing this tour at the Greensboro stop. Genuinely one of my favorite nights of my life. Looking forward to more shows in the future!
It makes me sad that he's seemingly saying he probably won't do many more big tours like this. But, it also shows that he knows what his limits are, and that makes him wise and mature. Love you Ben! Really wish I could have seen you when you came to Austin.
1 dislike? Must be because it was a short film lol. Thanks for sharing your music. I can’t speak for everyone but your music has a special place in my heart. “Do you believe in love” is my wife and I wedding song.
Didn’t know Ben was so nice with a frisbee! 😝 Saw this show in KC with my girlfriend, still one of the greatest nights we’ve ever had together. Thank you for the awesome music and an even better time Ben! See you back in Kansas City soon! (PS I actually really liked your shirt)
Ben, your Magic tour was the first one I missed since I first saw you guys open for Needtobreathe in Minneapolis 7 years ago. This album was incredible, and I'm so thankful for you guys taking the time to put together this video. Can't wait to see/hear what comes next. Until then I'll keep praying for you, the band, and your time to spend with Hillary and Jane :)
I really hope to see you on tour soon! I really need to see you again! I've been to many, many concerts, and this tour was the best I've EVER seen. OK LOVE!!
I've tried to debunk this theory but to no avail: ben rector's music just puts me in a better mood. full stop. thank you, ben. May you continue writing great tunes!
WAY TO GO LUKE!!!!! beautiful film, amazing album, freaking awesome guys. insanely proud to know you luke, and see your dreams come to fruition. also, Ben is one of my favorite humans and makes some of my favorite music, so to see y'all work together is just amazing. god is so good!!
This was absolutely amazing. Hit me right in the feels. I love Ben’s music and I love and have studied film. I dream of capturing a tour like that and creating something so special and beautiful.
This is awesome! I didn’t get to come to any of your shows this tour but it looks like it was one for the books.. I look forward to seeing you one day!
Please don’t EVER stop making music!!
This is magic. Like the purest, sweetest, most peaceful magic. What a gift.
Ugh. Just got homesick for a concert. That's a first! Thanks, Ben.
So so amazing. This tour was awesome.
ben rector is one of my ALL TIME favorites. every album is so good !!!!!!
As a fan from outside of the USA, this makes me very emotional because I couldn't go to any of your shows, Ben.
There’s a reason my wife and I saw this tour 4 times. Every show I was moved by a different song. Just incredible work and the reason I am a fan for life.
Really enjoy your music. It's got to be amazing to do what you do and have it affect people's lives in such a positive way.

And I love you doesn't scratch the surface of how I feel. Sorry im rambling. Like your song I will always be yours. Freakn amazing!
Thanks for bringing those of us who live out of country and wished that we could have gone to a show into the Magic!
The tour was epic. There were so many powerful moments during the concert that made me well up with joy and tears. Thank you.
i cannot live without new music. please. release. more (but at the same time frisbee is his calling).
The salt lake stop was pure Magic!
Yep, I’m sobbing.
I’ve seen you six times.
The first time, I didn’t even know who you were. The energy of that theater at the Tabernacle was why I will keep going back to see your shows.
The amount of heart and soul, you put into your music is what made me listen to you non-stop for months on end.
The fact that you prefer the “normal life” makes me respect you. I even saw you at Baja Burrito once and didn’t say Hi.

so lucky to have been a part of this tour experience!! Amazing work done by not only Ben Rector, but also Luke Mennard!!
Thank you!!!!
1. Ben you are a wonderful musician, and have inspired me with your music. 2. Luke Menard beautiful job on the film.
Chills. Love this🙂
I just really respect that you can do this without being blinded by the glitz and glamour-- at the end of the day, we all just want to ho home.
I was fortunate enough to see you twice this tour!! Truly felt something special each time.
Would have loved to have seen this tour! Come to the UK soon!

Went to the show in Greensboro and was blown away with it. Seriously, when is the 90 min doc coming out? I would watch it.

You must have an awesome wife to be able to go and do all of this. Props to the woman behind the sense. You picked a good one.
Didn’t know Ben was so nice with a frisbee! 😝
Saw this show in KC with my girlfriend, still one of the greatest nights we’ve ever had together. Thank you for the awesome music and an even better time Ben! See you back in Kansas City soon! (PS I actually really liked your shirt)
