I agree - I never understand those who say David doesn't care how he looks. I always thinks he suits the occasion, from grungy at college shows to dressed up on TV, to everything in between at fairs & theaters. I do think when the tour was at its peak, 4 and 5 shows a week with long bus rides, it was a challenge to pull a really well groomed look together. But he is fashion conscious and always seems very clean to me LOL!
I really did think he looked beefy at the Underwood taping. And certainly during the September west coast shows. What's really interesting about you saying he looked so thin, is that he commented how much crap he's been eating on vacation and decided to go on that raw food diet. If he's like me, he puts on his weight in the gut and not in the legs or tush. Fortunately he's taller than me so the right clothes can make him seem much thinner.
I think he's been "over" DCTR for a while now. He will always work his butt off on stage, and always be engaging. The band will always be at their professional kick ass best. But I've said for 6 weeks now that David is clearly looking ahead (and looking forward) to the next chapter and the next album. I'm hoping some of the biggest surprises will be NYE in Pechanga... which is technically not part of the Declaration Tour and is just a two-day New Year's celebration - hoping he tries out new material and pretty much does what he wants... and goes longer.
Great recap
