Concert Reviews
Harrah's, Metropolis, IL
June 6, 2001
Well, I went to David's concert in Metropolis last night and wow, David was great! The audience was kind of boring. After he started singing the first song a few dozen women grouped around the stage and he did shake some of their hands throughout the evening. But for the most part there wasn't any screaming, swooning women.
We were seated about 15 rows back on the left aisle. I felt kind of shy about going up to the stage at first but when David launched into Heartbeat, (I'm not sure if that's the name of the song, sorry David fans) I had to go up there. After that I ran back and forth quite a few times. They let me take my camera in so I hope my pictures turn out. It's only a fixed focus 35mm, so I know the first few pics from 15 rows back probably won't look too good but the ones I took closer to the stage should be okay.
He sang Cherish, and he did this bluesy kind of thing when he introducing the band, it was really cool. I didn't know some of the songs but I still had a great time. I boogied in my seat a bit, and did a bit of yelling and screaming. I didn't do too much. I was with Kevin and he was already feeling weird being at a David concert so I felt obligated to control myself. (sigh) Boy I wish some of you guys had been there. Then I could have really cut loose. LOL Anyway Kevin enjoyed the concert too. He said he was kind of surprised it wasn't pop music from hell and I told him of course it was a good concert. David is a Cassidy after all.
He finished the concert with I Think I Love You, which I had already guessed that would be his closing song. Then he did one encore. I didn't hang around because we had an hour drive and six kids to get back too, but it was a lot of fun.
David had a great sense of humor and we laughed quite a bit at his stories. At one point he pulled over a stool and sat down but he couldn't loosen the mic stand enough to shorten it, so he made a joke about that what happens when you're short and 98 lbs. weakling. It was pretty funny.
Thank you to Erik from David Cassidy Fan Site of Norway for this review.
