In w.PB. Excited about m&g.
Saw Ben and unknown male eating lunch at Field of Greens this afternoon. Saw the tour bus parked behind the theatre and saw some musicians making their way inside after we finished eating.

Meet and Greet recap from Kimmy if anyone remembers her.

Quote
   

Tour manager met us at the box office. Didn't see Jerome any where.

Orange pj pants, Clemson hoodie(couldn't remember it had to ask and I think I still have it wrong) he was standing in front of me most of the time.

REALLY pretty hair like LOTS of pretty just washed no product hair. Kinda golden not completely blond.

Asked names and where everyone was from. One perso. From Japan others from other states one local. Talked about he's surprised to find out he has t met some fans. I think more so hasn't seen them around before. More than met them before. At least that's how I took it.

Cute moment: when we walked in hair was rehearsing and he kinda turned and plopped down on his stool. I almost cracked up laughing sinc it was one of those "meh I don't want to sit down but I do so I will" moments. He a rurally did it twice.

Sounded a bit hoarse when talking

We can't talk about the set list. Only heard a few songs but can say the FL orch. sounded good. Talked about how today was a different rehearsal. Normal in and out and not a long process. Sang songs quietly probably to save voice so hard to tell how bad.

Signed stuff people brought. Lots of MCWL. Brought the most dorkiest poem I have every written to have him sign. I was 14 when I became a fan and wrote it. Asked how old I was now(24(well in 4 days)) and said he felt old. Asked if he could read it and he actually didn't laugh but I think he wanted to. I felt like screaming laugh already!!!

Yeah that's all I remember. Oh no q+a most likely because of his being sick. Picture for OFC members was group like listed. I was the last person to join the group(carrying a purse, iPhone, and folder with signed thing, then putting it down on folding chair is not easy!) So yeah I was on the end. Already have a pic with him so group pic wasn't bad. And that's it... I think?!?!

Oh no. Some people might not like that. I for one don't mind it. Must be over now. Sounded like a wonderful show. Can hardly wait to see him on the 12th. Really glad he was well enough to sing strong.

She said encore was a new song that she didn't recognize.

She said he looked and sounded great.

Stories bring the show to a halt, though. He gets it going again.

The real issue is that it hurts the pacing (she said he gets it going again) and that the stories are not very uplifting.

She said that he asked who was there for the first time and a lot of people raised their hand so that was good. She estimated that there were about 1000 people there.

Maybe he is doing it to rest his voice. It was 2 full hours.

Plus, not all of the stories from the CITH were sad. Go-go boots and the dress story were funny.

Scarlett called so I could hear part of the concert -- or so I thought. I had my cell phone on speaker while working on the pix, and all of a sudden I heard Clay saying, "Dianne, are you there?"

We then had a nice, public conversation about my June/October surgeries, the fact that I teach piano in G'oro, how he faked his piano playing in the Jukebox Tour, etc. Scarlett is doing her best to get me to go to Durham, but I just don't have my "sea legs" back yet. Clay pointed out there was a person at tonight's concert who had flown in from Japan. :20qnqyd:

Hope to see some clack soon!

FAN RECAP-JOY2TALK2U AT CV

Back!!! The concert was stunning.... stunning!!!!! He came out in front of the curtains to start......he acted like he was waiting for something....he stood there and stood there. Then he turned towards the curtain and waited some more. He finally got tired of waiting and went into the wings and came back out bringing a CD or tape player..... he "turned it on", placed a mic down on the floor with the player........the opening part of "All Is Well" started to play.......and he proceeded to blow the entire audience away with the most powerful edition of "All Is Well" that I have ever heard.

When he hit the 2nd chorus of the song, the curtains slowly opened and we could see the orchestra playing..... the entire opening was magical........ The final notes were spot on.....perfect.......

I will write a longer recap tomorrow, but I had to write about "All Is Well" before I forgot how amazing it was....... He brought goose bumps and tears.

FROM DEEMER AT CV;

As you know I was taking pictures in the first row bold as anything and ok so he made some smiles directly at me saying did I get them but I was at that moment trying to fix the photos that were running too bright on his face, so I made it darker, but it was too dark. It was just that moment that he started talking to me and said that the fan next to me should take a picture of us two and had me pose with him. But the pictures were set to too dark. She saw this and I tried to change the settings but I pushed something wrong in the dark etc, it took a while and he was joking we could have them painted in the same time. What he doesn't realize is that I have it set for taking pictures of him in full spotlight and then when he came down and posed with me we were not. It was dark. But she also took a pic of us with her cell and emailed it to us. anyhow it took a lot of fiddling with the camera. I hope my beloved Clay was not annoyed by it. I was totally out of my head and could hardly say anything. Here is the dark photo:

(Tarte Flambee'  AT OC )
I was at the concert tonight and my thought when the first story stated was not again, are you frell kidding me? It was bad enough in the Merry Christmas With Death Tour, but these deaths are now warmed over, we heard these stories once, or seven times already. He said the concert would have highlights of his previous Christmas tours but those stories are not a highlight IMO.

Then I wondered if Clay would revisit the Work by bringing out his current boyfriend, and singing Celebrate Me Home to him, but alas no. That would have been a highlight.

But otherwise, he sang well considering how sick he is, there were some new songs, and the banter was very good. There was a nice new medley of Away in a Manger, O Little Town of Bethlehem and Silent Night, and an encore where he walked out through the audience. He was cute and funny. I would recommend it. Just bring a book or sne knitting for the stories, which to be fair are just a way for Clay to get a break I suppose.

DEEMER AT CV:

The suit was from the PBS show, he confirmed that. He got a little comments from the front row about his pants (I didn't hear what ) and so during the story he went and changed his pants to grey ones that had a stripping down the side. They were not as baggy/foldy. Then after the song he said he had to make sure they were done up correctly (don't think he said zipper, maybe buttons?) as he had changed in a hurry.

2OLD4CLAY AT CV:

Clay was wearing the PBS shiny suit, with a dark purple shirt and purple and grey striped tie. When he changed, he had on black tuxedo pants and the silver tux jacket from BBH with a very pale lavender shirt, same tie I think. The second suit was more tailored. As other have said, I think, his hair was gorgeous. Absolutely the most beautiful haircut I have seen on him. Whoever is cutting it should move in with him forever.

People next to me never saw Clay in concert. The woman wasn't very chatty, but told me she loved it as did her husband. Said she never expected the interaction as he did wth the audience, but thought it was funny and enjoyable. Also as he sang some of the slower songs, I could hear her say 'that's just beautiful'.

Forgot to say...as has been mentioned, after he changed his pants were unbuttoned, I could see the light hitting the silver of the button, almost like those pants of perfection jeans he had on. It didn't take him long to realize he wasn't all closed up, so he turned to face the piano and take care of the buttons. Someone said something to him from the front row and he mentioned that they should read the magazine.

I am not very good with recaps, but the concert was amazing, really amazing. The voice was superb, you could not tell that he was sick.
I do have to tell you about the part when he talked ......... to me!!

He was talking to the girl that came all the way from Japan, 16 hour fly, and he started asking where everybody was from. A lot of people shouted Brazil, and then he goes: Brazil? Where is the lady from Brazil? I raised my hand and he goes: How long was your fly? I said 8 and a half hours and he goes; You loose to 16 hours (so cute). Then he asked me how many concerts I´ve been to and I said a lot. And he asked me: Are you going to the concert tomorrow and I said yes. He goes: I wanna meet you, so tomorrow talk to my people and come to see me.

CLAY WANTS TO MEET ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How cool is that!

So next chapter tomorrow, after I meet Clay!!

I think I got a few videos tonight--I was front row almost dead center. I got busted by the usher, then Clay asked me what I was doing, I held up my digital camera--and he scolded the usher! Then told her he knew she was just doing her job. I got The First Noel, then tried again when he called Kiyoko (fan from Japan) up, and got most of Don't Save It All. I am trying to upload to YouTube from my son's laptop from Double Tree, and it is taking FOREVER! And I accidentally signed out of gmail in another window, and got a message in the YT window, so I hope it will finish--it seems to be progressing...

What do I do if it does finish ok--post a YT link here? These are my first ever videos.

It was a FABULOUS concert!!!

FROM CLAYIZZAQT AT CV:

Just back to the hotel, had to have some food because we didn't get to eat before the show. I was only 3 seats from the aisle and had an attack dog of an usher hovering in our area all night long. I started to take video and the usher jumped on my friend in the next seat, 53 seconds into the opening number and was really quite nasty and rude about it. After that, I was chicken to try again. So I recorded audio until the last 2 songs when I switched back to video. "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day" turned out great. The encore, I has a nice view when he was seated on the stage, but when he went into the audience, my view was pretty obstructed. So bummed.

He looked so damn yummy tonight! Gah! His voice was in great form and he nailed all the glory notes and the low chest voice was thrumworthy. Gah! again.
