I was against the stage again, same spot as in Windsor, but since the stage was wider, I ended up right in front of Neal. Loved every freaking second of it.
David was in a great, playful mood last night. It's funny, I feel like we got sexy Dave in Windsor, and we got funny, dorky Dave in Orillia. The crowd seemed to be much more receptive than in Windsor, too. He did the whole "say bye to your chair" and we front row peeps had a lot of fun with him. ;) He was interacting quite a bit with us, which was cool.
At some point he mentioned that Andy had a birthday recently. After Andy said "24" to David's question as to how old he was, I shouted "Make him sing!" and David heard. The whole front row started screaming "Make Andy sing!" and David was insisting. Andy answered "But, I've been singing all night". LOL So cute. Then as David insisted, Andy started playing "My Heart Will Go On" from Celine Dion on his guitar. Soon the whole band was playing it. It was HILARIOUS. DC had a field day with that. He also broke into some faux falsetto and sang a few words, or mumbled a few notes. HI. LA. RIOUS.
We had yet another awesome set list!!!
Mr. Sensitive
Heroes
We're Only Honest When We're Sleeping
Souvenir
Kiss on the Neck
Lie
Bar-ba-sol
Make Believe
Hot for Teacher
Come Back To Me
Light On
I Did It For You
I'm glad I got to hear "Honest" once again. I just absolutely adore this song. I really hope that at some point in time, we'll get a studio version of it. Somehow, someway...
'Til I'm Blue was on the set list, but the stage was high (higher than in Windsor), so none of us saw it until after the show. At that point in the show, David mentioned how the casino had Christmas decorations already up, so that surely meant Christmas was coming. And when you say Christmas, you think about gifts. At that point I was wondering if he'd break into a Christmas song. LOL But then he said we'd be his guinea pigs, and I knew they'd be playing Make Believe, so I screamed just that. It was really awesome!!!!
They played I Did It For You as the very last song of the encore, and David went into the crowd while the band played an extended guitar solo at the end. He went all the way to the back of the venue, behind the sound board. He made his way back to the stage, and ended up coming back to it where i was standing. He was getting mobbed, people were moving to let him go through, but they all were touching him and grabbing at him. So when he came up next to me, I wrapped my arm around his waist and said go ahead and kind of pushed him forward. He started climbing the stage, my hand still on his lower back... I felt the need to help and gave him a push, but my hand slid.... *blushes* I swear I was being helpful!!! *huge smile* He sat down on the stage right there for a few seconds, got up, went to each end of the stage and bowed down, center stage and a bow, and he was gone.
I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of strange not to have Declaration during the set! I mean, it's the Declaration Tour, right? Shouldn't they play it at every show? *L* I understand they have to change the set list, otherwise they'd get bored out of their gourds... It was just an omission that I noticed, is all.
There were 3 piks left on Neal's mike, so we asked a tech guy and he gave it to us. Well, he gave it to the two girls on either side of me, one of which happened to be my friend cristina. Since she got the set list, and she knew how I love Neal, she gave it to me. :)
About 15-20 min later, David was out at the buses, and he was signing stuff and giving out hugs and posing for pictures. He got to everyone. The line was long at the beginning, but grew even bigger at some point. There must have been 100-150 of us? Maybe more? He got through to everyone. He stayed out for a good hour. And it was freezing cold. I got him to sign the sleeve from his record, but also the MWK cd he played on (Incoherent with Desire To Move On). I asked for a pic, which I got, and while I had my arms around his waist, I asked quietly for a hug, which he happily gave away. Awesome. :)
It was another great show, and as epic as Windsor for me, although different. I feel extremely lucky for all the experiences that I got, and for the friends I've met! Would do it all again in a heartbeat!
And here for some pictures...
