It was so amazing guys! Simply amazing. The best. Better than Vegas, better than Atlantic City in September even! Truly, truly --- just David Cassidy at his best.....singing, talking, laughing, telling stories.....it was fabulous. Short of doing a show with only songs that HE likes best, it couldn't have been any more HIS show.
And he looked......well, simply mind blowing! He has gained a wonderful amount of weight....... he looks SO healthy and fit. Just fantastic! His face is all filled out again----not gaunt at ALL. Nice rosy cheeks and NO PANCAKE!!!!! No pancake makeup guys!!!! I cannot stress enough how healthy and wonderful he looked. Really. Being away from 6 shows a week has done WONDERS for him. He wore his black pleated pants and let me just say that he filled them out QUITE nicely. (That man STILL has an award winning backside. (Award winning!) And his voice!!!?? OMG...I'll get to that, LOL.
Corinne picked me up at the bus station just as I arrived. Ahhhh----Corinne. So wonderful to see you again and have so much quality time together. Wonderful. As we drove around a bit trying to find our motel.....a very nice Best Western.....which we had a bit of trouble finding (Could have been the DC music distracting us! Almost missed a red light or two discussing various DC attributes!)
We did finally find it and check in.....quite nice. Went to a great seafood lunch where we discussed all of you---and David of course---for a couple of hours. Then we went back to the room to have a drink and blare some DC music and catch up some more and, of course, to get beautiful for David's appearance.
We got to Foxwoods Casino at about 5:15, picked up our tickets and met Lyn at 5:30. Hi Lyn!!! A very nice casino...didn't see too much of it as it was huge and we wanted to see what was going on at the entrance to the theatre. There were already 4 people in line so we decided we had better do that too as it was 'first come, first served' for the front tables. Lyn was very excited because she was going to the 'meet and greet' with David after the show. The 2 hours or so until the doors opened went fairly quickly---talking to different people about David and their various experiences. We had gotten table seats and the Foxwoods people we asked said we could ask to be moved up when they knew what was what with the high rollers. Hooray!! We ended up on the right side of the stage on the first table against the stage! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!
I have not seen David look so healthy and rested in 10 years! He looked fabulous. And his voice -------sometimes I would just close my eyes and it was as though I were listening to the finest recorded CD on the best speakers ever made. He has never sounded better. So rich. A woman next to me who didn't know him as well as we do said she did not know that he had such amazing range----that he sounded extraordinary. (I simply smiled and said "Of course."). I cannot find the words to tell you, guys.......when he sang Cry as his final song, people almost didn't even clap a the end.....like clapping and screaming would have been sacrilegious. There was this 'hush' over the audience because it simply was so beautiful. His voice was simply extraordinary.
Corinne and I went in search of posters while Lyn went back to meet with the Man. (Her story. ahh the envy!! LOL) Success!! We managed to snag two of the last ones! (I'm looking at it now in a lovely brass frame I put it in as soon as I got home!)
He was great guys, just great. Sang all the songs previously mentioned.....Sing Me, a personal favorite of mine....was to die for. These concerts are the first time he's ever sung it live and it's simply wonderful. (I voted for it! Yeah!!!) Aww and the view we had for his wonderful dance with Candace while singing River Deep, Mountain High.......sigh.....perfect! (And, MAN what a difference a particular partner can make!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Ahhh and Tenderness...... GOD I wish I was at that front middle table then! LMPAO!!!
Everything was just perfect. I could go on and on, but it will all just sound the same. I'll tell you guys, this is what the man was BORN to do. It's just ......it's just SO evident. He has as much fun as we do (well, maybe not THAT much! LOL I'm not sure he'd be too keen for ME to spit on HIM!! Whereas I just ate it up...hee hee ....literally!). He is so natural......he just talks and laughs. He's a natural. He told us how much he cares about us...numerous times...... that's always nice to hear.
Well, that's all. Sorry it's so long but I'm on real high right now, LOL. (I'm screwed when I go to work tomorrow.....again, no voice!) I had such a great time. My stomach is killing me from laughing so much and being so silly. I absolutely cannot wait to do it again in April in Atlantic City! I don't care if the tickets cost $300! I will be there all 3 nights! See you soon guys!
PS: The place was packed, ticket sales must be good and as long as he is singing something, anything, we're happy and we're gonna be there! Since singing wonderfully is what he does best.....no worries!
Thank you to Janie and Erik (David Cassidy Fan Site of Norway).
