For one of the outfits, he had changed his socks......No Stripes...... Hair kept falling over his forehead....
Usher came up to bug someone in front row in the middle for videoing. He was snarking that there was someone behind the girl and she was filming the whole thing. No one got in trouble for taking video.Bowls of Songs: Mother didn't like Joy to the World because she got bad news about her son and carolers came at that moment and sang Joy To the World so she doesn't like the song. And then Clay started saying he won't ever sing that song again.
I talked to caperkeeper and got answers to the questions I missed as we were hanging up from the stream:There was a good mix of people attending - men, couples, some elderly, lots of first timers.She couldn't tell reactions after show since we were talking on the stream.The center and back were full, the sides were full half way back. Said definitely more than for T&T tour and more than for Rock of Ages.M&G Report from one attendee, he said they were lucky to get him tonight as last night he didn't feel well. They got to hear rehearsal of The First Noel and also about 15 minutes of Soundcheck. They talked, signed memorabilia, took pictures. This attendee was very happy with the M&G.When they were talking about how old "My Grown Up Christmas List" song is, the drummer is a big David Foster fan so he could say when the song was written. Clay referred to him as a "Fosterite". (The question posted asked about "Fosterette". The only reference to Parker was that "My Grown Up Christmas List" was written by "my son's uncle".There should be Clack. Maybe not as much as last night, but definitely some. At first they announced no cameras, video, pictures, etc. Then Clay did something fooling around about someone's camera and as the evening wore on, more cameras came out and the ushers weren't doing much about it.

The husband from a NJU couple who were seated behind me tonight, stood at the show's end and said to his wife," That was a great show! It really put me in in the Christmas spirit!"
My friend who went with me saw her first Clay concert, and she was blown away by the whole show including the stories. It's all she talked about on our hour drive back home, and she's wants to go to his next concert.
