Didn't like the Westbury venue although I did have front row seats thanks to Canfly. I sat next to Scarlett, and since the venue were being such butts, I spent half the night trying to watch out for them so couldn't relax. To me, I felt like they were more a distraction than anything else with their constant pouncing on me. They were mainly focused on video gatherers but also went after others too. What actually blew my fuse though was that after the show, and after Clay said he was fine with the clack and even told one usher to leave one person alone who either had a camera or cell phone, they still went up to Scarlett and told her she had to give up her tapes. And what further infuriated me was when the first guy had the nerve to say it was because of Clay's management. That's when I lost it and told him he was full of crap and that Clay even said on the stage that he was fine with it. Now normally I'm pretty even tempered and don't get rattled very easily, but watch out when I'm mad and when someone lies right to my face, I can rant pretty good. So while I'm venting, along with a few other Clay fans, I inadvertently gave enough of a distraction so that when they told Scarlett to go to the office, she took her stuff and walked straight out of the venue and up the hill. When YYG told me she was at the bus line after taking a taxi back down, I didn't believe her but that's what she did. For someone so cute and tiny, she has nerves of steel. She'd also managed to sneak out the clack to me and Playbiller before she even went up the aisle. She is truly an amazing woman.

My Recap of the 2/26/11 Westbury, NY Concert #133  [-]

Reply Quote MoreRecent Posts  Where Do I Begin?
I will begin with our torturous cab ride from New Jersey to Long Island.  We hoped two hours would be enough time to get to Long Island, NY. We left at 6:00 pm and hit major traffic in NJ & NYC. The drivers GPS took us through every local street in Brooklyn and Queens with a pothole. I can definitely say that Mayor Bloomberg has some major work to do this Spring. I was afraid we would be late, but the driver assured me that we would be there on time. He was right, it all worked out and we arrived at 7:40 pm.
 The opening of the show was a killer. I loved how the concert started with the overture, then Clay’s voice coming from behind the curtain and finally Clay coming out on stage singing the “Love Story Theme.” He looked gorgeous and his voice was so powerful. He performed the song like a character in a play telling the audience a story. His expressions and voice were very dramatic. It worked very well. I was overwhelmed and so was the audience. We gave him a standing ovation.
Fa Fa Fa Fashion
Clay was very fashionable in a white shirt, purple print tie, purple cashmere sweater and skinny leg gray pants with pinstripes, striped socks and taupe boots. My mother in law loved his outfit so much that she talked about it the next day to everyone in the family. It was a good thing he did not wear holy jeans. Jeans do not go over well with her. (LOL)
What the Hell Moments
Two geese were outside the building when we arrived. It looked like they were trying to get into the show, but they did not have tickets. (LOL)
A man in the audience yelled out something inappropriate before the concert began and he was booed by fans. It was neither cute nor funny.
Someone near the front of section B was selling Tee shirts.
During Clay’s performance of “Suspicious Minds,” the microphone had major feedback and then it blew out. Clay grabbed Quiana’s microphone and it had the same problem. As a professional, Clay kept singing while holding a microphone in each hand using them as props while he danced to the music. The sound came back on and Clay stopped and said, “What the hell?” and then finished the song. It was hysterical and a must see video.
Trying my best to explain to my mother in law and sister in law the reason why people are waving to each other from across the theater. My mother in law felt left out and she just started waving randomly. (LOL)
Clay calling out people talking on their cell phones during the concert and then trying to explain why.
 Musical Highlights
We enjoyed “Something About Us,” which both my sister in law and I feel is an underrated song and “Both Sides Now.” They were both sung with a lot of emotion. “Build Me up Buttercup” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You” had us moving in our seats. Also the “Who’s Sorry Now” segment was a riot especially the death metal version.
Heartwarming Comments
Comments from my mother in law:  “He makes you feel so relaxed. He is calming. He is better than Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. They used to smoke and drink on stage. He is very charismatic. It was worth the trip from NJ.”
Comments from my sister in law:  “He has such magnetism and he is so funny. It is great how he talks to the audience. He does not have a mean bone in his body. Why are some people so mean to him? He is so considerate. He moved around the stage so everyone can see him. When is Clay touring again?”
More Clay in Our Life
It was very touching to hear Clay sing “In My Life” to us as the final song. It was a perfect ending to a very enjoyable concert. It left you wanting more. I know there will be more for Clay because he is extremely talented and he has so much more to offer the entertainment world. I will be waiting for it in my life.

Last night at Westbury

Reply Quote MoreRecent Posts  I was sitting right behind Felix on the drums, at stage level.  He looks fantastic.  Have never seen him so close up before.  He is at his perfect weight!  Those pants were snug - and looked really good on him.  He does look heavier in videos. I got to see his profile much of the night - which I love.  He was, as usual, magnificent.  I've never missed a concert before, and was afraid I would miss this one, but I got tickets last minute.  His last song sung to us - In My Life - really touched me - can't get it out of my head.
