Couch Tomato Posted July 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 So let the games begin. This is the first concert where'll I'll be able to listen from start to finish. Well actually now that I have listened to Deborah760s complete concert... I'm no longer a virgin! From around Clay land: Clyboard, Chautauqua etc. Jukebox is out front of the stage. There's a tent up to the stage and a hard roof over the stage. Big arena. Anybody looking at the stage should be able to see because the stage is about 10 feet tall, maybe dificult for the front row to see. Sunny, a few clouds, really nice weather. ----- Cellstream reports that Clay went on some kind of ride there. bandmembers are out. Screams started. we built this city skipping ----- deafening screams twisting thw night away. ----- lots of screams in between lines -- sounding great -- sax playing -- lots of screaming -- still twistin' ----- black leather jacket, black pants white shirt must be the same outfit ----- my god ladies this is absolutely amazing the crowd is unbelieveable..so freakin loud major screaming.....they are freakin out of it...... ----- at the hop, johnnt b good, rockin robin So do we know if Jacob is playing the sax?

Time goes by so sloooowly Are you still miiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnneeeeeee? Screams, screams, screams, cream. ----- Per cellstream, the microphone is very happy after that one. I guess Clay just assaulted the microphone. Cellstream is pretty clear tonight! I don't know why I'm so happy at his little amateurish piano playing... I guess it feels like a continuing dialouge between Clay and his fans that started on Joyful Noise tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said the audience is great , standing up and a lot louder than the first 2 shows. she said he is HOT, as in HAWT, and sounds great. ----- Halftime report: Both Dee and Josie from OMC got interviewed for Buffalo newspaper. ----- text messaging on jumbotrons at intermission some really bizarre ones -- parade of people taking pictures up and down the aisle banter at the end of the first set -- was looking for a husband/wife found a dad and a kid -- a little girl--dad gets mad at her for playing his CD in the car dad went backstage for 70s set actually straddled the mike at one point venue looks pretty full some cute interactions onstage ----- text messages: OMG Clay you are so something we love you buffalo new york loves you you are amazing clay Clay willyou marry me or will you marry my daughter we love you froj the bottom of our hearts please add try a little tenderness you are the best singer ever i love you we love you clay we love quiana angela jacob we love you and we're in section 200 Clay is back on!! screaming, crowd really wild. hear the music but not the voice very well.

Incredible! ----- He seemed to be singing the beginning of WDC in more of a falsetto this time -- could be wrong -- the resonance was still there, regardless. Needless to say, the screams are more or less out of control. *g* Vocals sound fantastic. This is such a tough song to sing, but he is hitting the notes confidently. He nailed that last "maybe I'm just like my father -- TOO BOLD!" 80s medley beginning, "All Night Long" first. ----- All Night Long . . the beginning started a little differently, seemed like, but could just be the reception ----- Never Gonna Give You UP How Can I Get You ALone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAndre Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 My personal song preferences are coming through - loved EOTR enough to be considered a sin - and still don't see any special about Iris.

Couch Tomato Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 its time for the 90's i don't know if i will survive this" ----- talking about lookin like the era..and him in the nineties..crying shame cause we really though we looked good..lol...laughing ... ----- Said something about " my name's on the ticket." ----- Clay seems to be ad libbing and interacting with the audience alot more tonight than in the last 2 JBT's Black Velvet - there's wailin' goin' on! Can't tell by whom, however. ----- End of the Road - this is breathtaking to me. Absolutely beautiful and passionate. Incredible. ----- one of the girls singing...southern sky...hit extreme high note..Clay singing now..say goodbye...only love till the end of time..real high...strong...end of the road.... ----- Iris ----- La Vida Loca ----- they just exploded again...dedication...dancing fooll......working hips rocking them ....legs are a moving baby...he is exploding....the enter Clay has arrived.... ----- fivegoldens says OMG He got the moves. OMG She whimpers and laughs and says OMG once again. He took off his vest. OMG again. Screams deafening. He's got the moves on that song she says You can tell cuz everyone is yelling She giggles. He's sitting on a stool. spotlight just on him. some girls screaming. End of the Road" is absolutely gorgeous. "Iris" -- still singing the verses an octave higher than the original. "Living La Vida Loca" -- phrasing sounds very, very convincing on the verses -- I think he is getting better at this song. The crowd is going crazy! "I Can't Make You Love Me" now -- the screams will not stop during the intro. Clay starts to sing, and the crowd turns its attention to him. Still with the screaming, though. ----- I Can't Make You Love Me. Oh but he has and we do. This is so hauntingly, beautifully gorgeous. The screaming is intense. ----- I will Always Love You!! So beautiful. ----- crowd loving her..she is amazing..this is proof too that AI doesnt have a clue from good to greatness... ----- Quiana manages the dynamics of "I Will Always Love You" so well -- not just the belting moments, the quiet ones, too. The crowd loves her. When she started, there was at least one, "You go, girl!" Jacob on sax now. Glory note for Quiana!! Wow, she is amazing. ----- whow is all I can say..the crowd with her all the way..she is wonderful..chills..she puts whitney to shame.... ----- Some of the crowd was singing along, and beat Quiana to the "And I" glory part. *g* Ending the song, getting a huge response. alspaz says, "That was absolutely amazing. Amazing." Clay introducing the band now. ----- CLay talking again..talking about you guys being here all night long..now get out of here..(I think) laughing..now introducing the band and back up and crew..crowds giving their thanks in huge applause ----- Clay just introduced the crew by name, with some appreciative words about what they do. Introducing the 2000s. 2000 was eh, 2001 wasn't great and 2002 wasn't, either. But 2003!! *crowd screams* IWCY -- I love the JBT arrangement of this song! Crisper drumming and Andy Abad, lending his own flavor. ----- tw.. messed up words lmao ----- WYSYLM Talking again. I think he just said if you know it, sing along. Now starting Back For More! (heee, he knows us so well) ----- drums a beating...oh my goddness I love this song....so conflicted just cant get enough...radio radioooooooooooooo low low low voice...holy shout...my god the crowd is on theri feet..screaming singing with him he is giving it his all.. ----- You can already hear the crowd singing along....very catchy song! ----- Mega cheers for Coming Back for More ----- Just You I love that last "on the radio" after the bridge, where he does a little ascending run of notes. Unbelievable. 2 days after its concert debut, a good portion of the crowd appears to be singing along on "Back For More." Great response to the song. "Just You" now. Screams after the first chorus. Such a tough song to sing -- his wailing is incredible. Really good response after this one -- seemed equal to the response to BFM, but the people who were actually there would be better judges of that. ----- God I am in tears hear..that was beyond anything I have ever experienced..just you....beautiful...love it... ----- He sounds very crisp and very on. Can't wait to hear this one live. OMGoodness!! ----- Screaming intense again. And Invisible begins. ----- Your turn! And the audience sings!! Make you mine tonight! ----- crowd fairly quiet..listing and grabbing every word...Invisible..MAJOR SHIRT TUG..CROWD CRAZY WITH EXCITEMENT... ----- invisible sounds amazing! crowd singing along really loudly.

ShelleyC Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 You might not, Ansa, so make sure you've made out your last will & testament... ;-) I will write a proper recap later (although I warn you - I really suck at writing them and I can barely remember anything - exposure to the Aiken erases the memory), but it probably won't be till later (like late tonight or even tomorrow night - I'm kinda busy here at the hotel)...

buzztechie Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 I'm like Shelley in that my recaps generally stink cause I lack any ability to remember all those fine little details, but here it goes..... As for the Darien Lake concert last night. I have been to many, many, many Clay concert and I have to say, this was one of the funnest music-wise I have been to. The concert just rocks from start to finish. Clay did a good job in getting Michael Orland to help him with the arrangements. The 50s and Elvis sets were fantastic and I must say the boy is getting much more comfortable with his dancing. There were lots of hip shakes and very good Elvis moves. He was to-die for on top of that piano. Back for More was incredible live. This was only the 2nd time I had heard the song (watched it on GMA previously) and I think it is gonna be a big hit. The song was better in Darien Lake than GMA and the crowd was pumping their fists and singing along. Great spring/summer windows-open while driving type of song. The slower songs, Solitare, BOTW, and Mandy were stunning. Solitare was better than anytime he sung it during the NAT. I just loved the whole concert and am so glad I am lucky enough to get to see a few more on this tour. I thought half-way through the concert that this was a great idea for Clay to do a tour like this. Build his fan base even greater before his second album. I was also amazed at the number of men in the audience; more than any of Clay's tours previously. And Quiana's I Will Always Love You ended up being one of the highlights of the evening. It was simply amazing and certainly rivals Whitney Houston herself. She got several standing ovations, one of which was lead by one of the men sitting up near the front. There was no security so clack gathering was uninhibited (and a mighty big thankyou to Clay and Co for the change in camera policy - Muah). It may take me a while to go through all the photos I took, but they will be posted soon (I hope). At first glance, Skate and I are very happy with the results. Concerts are always more fun with good friends and btw, never get lost after a concert with ShelleyC, Sapphire, SkateJoy and DJ2001 in your car cause you will be laughing way to much to ever get found again (which we managed to do in the tiny Hamlet of Batavia, NY). And whatever they say about my driving... its all lies. *g* Skate was of course sad not to see Jerome and even sadder to hear the rumor he may be sick. Anyone know where she can deliver a get well card? And Ansa..... I am so happy you finally get to see the Aiken live. It will be an amazing experience!! And yes, the last will & testament will be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skatejoy Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 FABULOUS!!!! Solitaire, Elvis set and the new song were definitely the highlights. Along with the camera policy. Lowlights?? So Jerome is sick. I bet Skatejoy would like to bring him some soup!! Poor fella. Just doesn't seem like a tour without him. I consoled myself by taking hundreds of pictures.... Hee.
