The Weeknd is the next big name in the music industry, and if he doesn't go down as a legend then I give up with MUSIC.

He was so nervous...

Lol at all the BlackBerry's. RIP.

Of course he was scared and nervous, this was his first show. Awwww... He seems a lot more confident and comfortable now. Look at his recent performances. Abel is doing amazing. :) very talented.

WHY AM I CRYING???? This makes me so emotional Baby Abel hella cute. But Man "look at the kid now" I really wish I was there.

and now he's selling out arenas

Oh are you so different... But I'll always listen.

ncooooh, he was still so shy here. voice still perfect though

4:22 how in the world he diid that!!!!??? man....

I've searched for covers of this song, but NO ONE can sing his shit better than him...thats the craziest shit

He was nervous but he came back. Amazing.

he killed dat high note

We still are listening . Xo

Trilogy is unbeatable

Beautiful part at 4:24 I literally watch this video just to hear that part and just the beginning of this Amazing artist...

He was so nervous here, its actually amazing how much his improved in his recent performances

I went to see The Weeknd recently at his Kissland Concert, and his performance was awesome. It is clear in this video he was still in his early stage of singing, he has really come a long way.

Your a real weeknd fan if you know how iconic this night was and will be

Best version of this song live. It's sustenance.

I would do anything to go back in time and get front row to this concert. So amazing to see his growth.

4:22 is powerful wow, goosebumps!!

You can hear the sorrow in his voice... makes the song so much better

A legend was born that night

He was so nervous for those first 3 minutes .. After that, he went from an artist to a performer 👏🏽

And now in 2020, he's performing in the Superbowl half-time.

Now we need more of these.. OG concerts wish I could be part of it back then , but ya boy was only 10 y/o😂😭

3:37 sounds Erie as hell. I love it

The begging of greatness
