Here’s my recap from last night. Good thing its typed, cuz I can’t talk this morning from all the screaming! It’s not in chronological order, my memory’s not that good.

A local band actually opened the show last night. The lead singer looked like DC without the beard. Before the show, I thought that guy might be David’s body double. ha! David and Dublin did watch most of this set from the side stage.

Ryan was fantastic of course. David came on stage in about the middle of “Breathe” and sang the chorus w/Ryan. Dave did sing a little bit by himself though. He and Ryan actually sounded pretty similar. Later on “Suicidal Psycho Girl”, David again sang a little and Neil played the guitar some.

Then the Main Act. David started the show with KOTN and they rocked the heck out of that song. That was the best I ever heard it. David was very chatty last night. I believe he spoke in between every song. It also was incredibly hot and he probably needed to cool down a bit. David said ‘they’ told him it was gonna be hot, “But really?, Really?”

David also told the story about the mall and that a girl said ‘he thinks he’s David Cook’. “Even I can’t pull off being David Cook. I guess I’m just a poser here trying to be David Cook. I needed to be brought down a notch.” All in joking fun of course, which we love so much.

A fan threw a hat on stage with a note attached. It was a Turkey Creek, LA *something* Club hat. (Turkey Creek is a little town of about 100, so the entire town must have been there. Ha) He did start to read the note, but said it was a G rated show and anything that starts out with “Hi Sweetie” probably doesn’t stay G rated.

David spoke a little about our beloved LSU Tigers. A fan threw a LSU hat on stage. Joey wore it throughout the next song. David said something to the effect of “Geaux Tigers” and the crowd went nuts. Then he said, “You don’t know but I’m really talking about the Missouri Tigers.” The whole crowd Boo’ed him. He thought that was really funny. I don’t think he anticipated the intense reaction he would get.

After one of the songs (I forget which), the crowd was really cheering and screaming. And David started doing his happy dance. (Jumping up and down in place.) He thanked everyone for coming out and letting him have the best job in the world. He was so cute, I just want to give him a big kiss on the cheek.

During “Bar-ba-sol,” Ryan and Artie came out on stage to shave. (see pics) After the song, David picked up the can, put some in his hand and smeared it over his beard. Then he looked around like “Now what?” He said he didn’t think that one all the way through. Stage hands threw him some towels, he got some of it off, but not all. He commented “I probably didn’t get it all, there’s a photo op for you all.” They played IJDIYA. Then the stage hand threw him another towel and Dave was like what’s this for. Dave said “I sang that whole song with stuff on my face!” I hope somebody got pics, it was pretty funny looking.

The venue did say no video, but I don’t think they enforced it. Hopefully, we’ll get some. My little camera sucks, so I didn’t get any. I got a few very grainy pics. I’ll see if anything is worth uploading.

I had a wonderful time at the concert. My 10 year old daughter’s take “It was good, but really, really hot.” Now I can’t wait for Tuesday, HOB in NO with the hubby. Good Times!

I hope we get a cellcaster tonight in Galveston, the concert is outside, so the sound quality should be good.
