The concerts were great! Compared to the Atlantic City and Laughlin shows, these concerts were definitely more rehearsed and David played lead guitar on more songs than before. The set list was the same as in Tunica, Cherokee and Foxwoods. On Friday he started out with a shiny rust-colored shirt (same as other shows) and switched to a slightly sparkly black shirt midway through.
On Saturday it was the same, but the brown shirt was purple instead. He bantered quite a bit between songs on Friday night and then didn't talk nearly as much on Saturday night. In fact, he sang the first 4 songs in a row without stopping. After the 3rd song, some roadies came out and taped the set list to the stage - apparently, they'd forgotten to do that before the show - oops!
David chatted a bit more with fans who came up to the stage to hand him flowers and notes. He asked their names and where they were from. He talked about a very special song that Tony Romeo wrote for him - one that he thought he outgrew, but now it seems to be very pertinent, and then he began "I am a Clown," which got a few chuckles from the audience. As usual, fans rushed the stage during "I Think I Love You." It didn't seem to matter to him that there were only about 20 on Friday and 40 on Saturday. He appeared to be just as thrilled to be there and interact with the audience. Although the audience was small (maybe 300 people) it seemed to me that from all the screaming there were just as many fans and fewer high rollers than the other concerts I'd been to.
On Saturday night during "I Think I Love You," one fan actually climbed up on stage, stood behind him, and started rubbing his body all up and down while dancing. It was hilarious! Eventually, an usher escorted her off the stage and David said, "It was nice while it lasted." Henry Diltz was there, moving around between the 2nd and 4th rows, and sometimes crouching in the isle. Hopefully, we'll get to see some of the results in future ads and/or publications.
