Seeing and hearing David live for the first time exceeded my already high expectations. I'm more convinced than ever these songs were meant to be heard live. If you're trying to Cookify someone, drag them along to one of his shows. IMHO that's your best opportunity to convince them that David is a real musician who makes real music. A couple of people at the concert who were not there to see David said they were surprised his music was more rock than pop. That was music to my ears.

As I've mentioned before, LO aint no easy song to sing. One of the many things keeping me from entering that LO contest where instructor David taught us how to play it on the guitar. Yet he nailed it here with flying colors. The change up in the tempo was a nice touch. I would be remiss if I didn't mention Andy's eye-catching red hot pants. Andy, if you're trying to get us to steer our eyes away from David to give you a looky, mission accomplished!

Pure perfection! That's how I would describe last night's performances. Can't wait to hear Declaration along with the rest of the album. My enthusiasm for the album has now been magnified by about 10 times and it was already high to begin with.

Wow! Should I really be surprised that David Cook just blew me away yet again. Light On is not an easy song to sing as I have learned whilst trying to sing along with Mr. Cook while cruising in my car. Yet he nailed it proving that he's up to par to take on such a difficult song outside of the studio. And then there's Declaration. If ever there was a song that proved David is the real deal, this is it: the fact that David wrote Declaration demonstrates he's a real artist capable of making real music. The instant I heard it, I was in pure rock bliss bopping my head around along with Kyle.
The acoustics for both songs sounded fabulous to me and the music was nice and loud as good rock music should be, yet David's powerful voice came through loud and clear. The band overall gelled very well--looked like they've been doing this for years. I knew Andy, Neal and David would would have no problem bonding as a band, but Joey and Kyle seem to fit right in as if they truly belong there. Kyle's energy on the drums is awe-inspiring. That guy is like the Energizer Bunny on drums.

While the constant crashin' is a real buzzkill for this otherwise spiffy site you guys have thrown up here, I knew you guys would eventually get around to fixing it. And for that all I have to say is THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
