Skatejoy Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 From the cellcert: Cellstream: there are people of all ages, not a lot of men, no freaks, maybe 1/4 of the audience wearing Clay stuff. They had an extra pair of seats, and gave them away to mother and son in the nosebleeds who hadn't seen Clay since AI2 tour, and are very excited. 100 section is full, 200 section is full, 300 section half full, and no one on the lawn. ----- A security guard was getting mad because a woman had what looked like a professional camera... they are talking to Clay's people to find out if it is ok to use cameras. The venue seats about 9,000 and is at least 3/4 full.. ----- It is starting late....but now they are reporting that it looks like they are getting ready to start...guy is testing out one of the keyboards... ----- mini-Jerome is checking the Professional camera.... (he's pretty, according to the CH cellcerter) he's going to take the big lens, but she can use the camera (that's nice) ----- It's starting. Looking for quarter. Crappity crap crap crap!! Don't take lenses pretty Jeromoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couch Tomato Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thanks CAClayfan2...I will deifnitely TELL her. I hope she is having the time of her life. She sure is getting snarky Clay!! Carwash ----- December 1963. "Give it up for Jaymes!" ----- Clay starts "December 1963" -- sounding great, encouraging the audience to clap for Jaymes. "September" now...huge cheers as the dancing starts ----- "Nights on Broadway" sounded excellent. "Too Much Heaven" -- Clay's voice sounding wonderful; he's sounding strong and assured tonight. I'm loving the reception on the cellstream right now. "I Feel the Earth Move" now. ----- Cheers as Clay begins "Mandy." ----- i Need.. YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Held that out for a loooooooong time ----- Mandy - power, emotion, control - gorgeous 70s banter - some things the same in both US and Canada, like polyester, but Canada had some things unique to her - on very large scale called on a lady with the face of a very good looking gentleman on her shirt (she got married, was her answer) ----- commented on someone close to him but she still needs binoculars!! Yea for the Claynadians! ----- Talking about the 70s... Similar things that happened in Canada and the united states like polyester... Saturday Night live... "you're not maried.. thats great.. don't know how much that effects Canada.." "woodstock happened in the 70s..." "Trunomania..." cheers "there you go..." "Canada beats Russia in hockey..." "The woman who is extremely close to me and is still looking through binoculars... embarrassing..." "You people I have to tell you something right now.. Hold on... But I do this every night.. But I always end with the same line.. but people like to take it from me. This woman said I was born but I ignored her because it was my line.. I ignored that lady over there.. And you think I am going to listen to you.. You can forget the 70s and 80s.. I'm hurt.. but I was born in the 70s" ----- BOTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couch Tomato Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 And mind goes on forever on BOTW!!!!!!!!! Tons of EEEEEEEEEE, squeals and OMGs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ----- OMG - that final MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNDDDDDD took at least 1-1/2 hours. Gorgeous. Felix preacher guy eliciting huge laughs and screams! ----- Felix now.. I had to do some research.. What happened in the 80's in Canada ----- The cellcerters loved BOTW -- he was right in front of them. "What did Felix do to his hair??" That's from our cellcerters. Felix is tailoring his banter somewhat for Canada. ----- Piano music.... WDC How can you leave me standing in a world that sooooo cold Maybe I am just too demadning.. singing this part very delicately singing this part very delicately ----- Clay is singing the gospel intro to WDC in total head voice. Nice touch! Sounding assured. Some cheers on that first "satisfied" riff (down to those lovely low notes). "screeeeeeeeeeeeeeam" Hearing some screams from the audience. And the tempo kicks up, with the audience going crazy. ----- screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmm at each other - met whe some cheers - the control of that 'screeeeam', pulling back off of it to finish the line still amazes me! When Doves Cry - lotsa screams!! Touch if you will my stomach (cheers) feel how it trembles inside don't make me chase ya even doves have pride This is what it sounds like when douououoves cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (and the note went on forever) A bit later, maybe I'm just too (went up on the not on 'too' - was very nice) Ending, cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy - whoa - LONG cry! Huge screams - HUGE! All Night Long ----- Clay held out the long notes beautifully on WDC -- the song got a great response. BWAH! Our cellcerter says, "Oh, it's the macarenas!" Hee. She meant "maracas." ----- WDC sounded a bit tired to me, but it might be the cellstream reception. "All Night Long" got a nice reception. "Never Gonna Give You Up" -- I love how Clay changes up his phrasing to sound like Rick Astley! Slowing it up for "Alone" -- GAH, Clay sounds so amazing on this. Wailing on the chorus now -- sounding awesome -- held out that last lingering "alone"! "Rock With You" ----- Never Gonna Give You Up - sounded great, again Alone - haunting, emotive, pleading; then explodes! How do I get you alone? Rock With You ----- Jacob sounds good on Rock With You and the audience loved it! ----- Sailing Sounds very pretty to me tonight, again. ----- Intro to "Sailing" -- intermittent cheers. Clay is singing now. Sounding beautiful -- wow. You can usually hear it if Clay isn't totally concentrating on this, but this has got to be one of his better renditions of the song. ----- Can't touch this ----- Sounds like there's a new dance, "The Typewriter", or maybe I just didn't know the name to one done previously! He's really egging them on tonight! Lots of dances! ----- The Roger Rabbit? Making Quiana dance it ----- CTT is still going on!! These are the 1990's!

Want.full.version.now! (Along with several others!) I LOVE that guitar work on "Black Velvet." Great response to Angela and the band for that song. Clarence doing his thing to intro "End of the Road." Jacob starts the singing off, sounding great. Now, Clay...amazing! "Iris" now -- Clay wailing, growling. Sounding strong, especially considering this is his 3rd consecutive concert. ----- Iris - very strong and in control, more passion. I just want you to know who I am. HUGE SCREAMS as music switches. LLVL - SCREAMS!!! black cats and voodoo dolls that girl's gonna make me fall music - SCREAMS!! new sensations new addiction for every day and night makes you take your clothes off and go dancin in the rain (HUGE SCREAMS) Soaring vocals on bullet to the brain He sounds really into this tonight!!

Couch Tomato Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Oh GAH....ICMYLM....quiet....beauty...tenderness...yearning...he's going to make me cry.... ----- Intermittent cheers during piano intro for ICMYLM Turn down the light turn down these voices inside my head Low note 'me' was GORGEOUS! Beautiful echo on the NOOOOOOOO you wont I can't make you love me if you dooooooooooooon't (soft, but long-ish) 2nd verse - so heart wrenching I'll do what's right - some little note change ups, very nice I WILL GIVE UP THIS FIGHT - can't think of what word I want but so so so sad Absolutely gorgeous rendition (again) tonight; another must have. Cheers and applause at the end. Piano plays on. ----- I can feel this song deep down inside...you just want to reach out to hug him and make it better... Applause greets the end of beauty.... ----- S'von's turn. Felix jamming with him a bit. Both of them sounding awesome. And now, transition to the intro to ICMYLM. Hearing some cheers and yells from the crowd, seeming to come from the back of the venue. Apparently, people are getting shushed. Clay is singing now. "Turn down the lights." Gorgeous. Oh, that low "me"! GUH. I love how he draws back a note -- starts out with power, and then lets the resonance of his voice take over. A new riff on that last "lay down my heart." Great cheers after Clay finishes -- extended applause. Our cellcerters are really moved. Beautifully done.' ----- IWALY ----- Band intro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Tomato Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Well lost the cellstream right before the new song...not worried though as it's still recording..and I know there will be clack..probably sometime tonight. IWALY ----- IWALY was wonderful and the audience seemed wild about it. Clay's back! Intros. ----- Cellstream: he was talking to CynicalOne. Lots of Touch signs there. ----- He's going through saying different areas of Canada, who's from where? ----- Talking about Jacobs album... "From Fresno California... Jacob Latrell..." (lol I love how he says Latrell " "going to be a daddy for the first time.. Andy Abad..." "Clarence Allan!" "From chicago illionois danielle pierson!" "Okay over here? That's much better we like to see her smile.. Maureen baker!!" "That was a very nice canadian research.. I'm very impressed. Impressed by your musical ability very nice guy.. Felix (didn't catch last name)" "You read alot over here..." Clay laughed... "And there so polite here.. They don't scream.. Like the other ones.." "Anyone from Montreal?" "Anyone from British Columbia?" "Anyone Saratoga?" "We don't do this every single night..." alot of touch signs... Doing stump the band.. "I have never done that song.." ----- Stump the Band...again said he would not sing Touch. ----- To something, he said "if that's reverse psychology, it ain't gonna work!" ----- "If there is a song you would like us to sing... Except touch.. Put your arms down I don't want your arms to get hurt.." "I need a quarter for whoever requests..." "Sweet Child of Mine.. Do you know that?" "Just a second.. Quiana is going to do it for you..." They don't know the words.. They are kind of mumbling and na na naing the verse.. Singing the chorus though ----- "New Kids on the Block..." "ooooooooooooooooo..." he sang that part acapella. "You know what? Calm down.. Security could you watch this area right here?" "Crying... We'll be right back.." Quote: "You know you wouldn't have gotten away with shouting in my classroom.." People are shouting.. "O Canada..." ----- For Stump the Band he sang O Canada acapella. The band was really stumped.. Though they did play for Sweet Child of mine when Quiana (I think) was sort of singing it... she only knew the chorus. He kind of hummed the other 2 songs.. New kinds on the block and Crying for a little bit. ----- I loved Clay's voice on "O Canada" -- great moment. Introducing the MoaM medley. Said something about not having been so good at Stump the Band tonight. IWCY. Loved how he sounded on "When the stars go blind." TW now...big cheers greet this song. ----- WYSYLM he's talking to the audience he just said he's going to start the xmas tour Nov. 2 in Vancouver congratulating someone with an anniversary introducing kristy wanted to do something special for toronto here for toronto, since it's been so long since we've been here, trying something new here tonight Piano singing new song Can’t make out the words Ballad, mid tempo But he sounds amazing All back ups on chorus with him I think it’s pretty, but I;m easy I can’t really make out the words Romance, maybe?? It sounds yearning midtempo, i'd guess, although i don't know much about that only one bar left on Elzi’s phone BfM - not so crazy about love songs now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couch Tomato Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 the crowd is going apeshit over invisible it’s v.loud the tempo wasn't like BFM Elzi via Aurorabee: ballad, liked it better than 1000 days, but is sick of ballads webweaver got almost all of the new song on her camera they will upload it when they get back to the hotel the word yearning wasn't in it, it SOUNDED yearning elzi said she thought thelyrics made sense "how can you be a stranger to me when i still dream your name" or something like that ficus was not impressed with the new song, but no angels or spinning balls, so that's good mrsgenghis has some but can't upload tonight webweaver has 3 minutes of the new song they're not going to a party, so they promise there will be clack tonight I'll post the new song on FCA as soon as I get it..Thank god I live in California and I need to pack!
