I'm on a concert high, too! lol
One thing about Kris - he seems even freer onstage than before, and he seems more sexy. It's confidence, I guess. Plus, his look is better - his clothes, I mean - no layers, so far. He had a lot of really adoring fans there - and I think a lot of the Lifehouse fans like him, too, since I noticed many people who bought and were wearing Lifehouse merch cheering for him, and outside his bus later.
missaddicted, I do hope you get to see Kris, eventually. Just because he does have that quality of seeming to perform just for you, and to be letting you in on some private secret. He has an unusual joy onstage and he puts a smile on most people's faces - yet he's not saccharine (despite that review last summer) and he's a mature performer. And the voice is just richer, live, and the charisma is greater.
I'm not good at recapping individual songs/performances. But I liked how they even rocked out on the second half of MITM, rather than keeping it all low-key. And the audience sing-along: I glanced around and almost everybody was singing or mouthing the words. On AWM, some people stood up and danced - it was a great performance of that song. I especially liked what Kris said, and how he said it - prior to LLWD. Not that he said much, he just seemed very real. (MJ has the video.) IIO was great - what wasn't? It all was. I can't think of when I have ever seen a better opening act with such an enthusiastic crowd. Not exaggerating - it was awesome.
Looks like Brian Melo's story got bumped from etalk.
He tweeted:
Will be on Etalk tonight! Check it out and get a glimpse of the Soundproof video!
Then, later, he tweeted:
My story may be on next week! Not sure! Keep watching
PS - I think this was probably my favorite Kris show I've been to - well, this one and Mechanics Hall. That was really a special show. PPS - I didn't really talk to him this time. Just took his picture with that other fan, and told him it was a great show. (I don't have that picture - it was on her camera.) It's interesting to stand there and watch Kris having his picture taken. People aren't screaming, it isn't like that. Some people were saying "I love you" (even in Italian. "Te amo, Kris!"), but overall they were just nice and respectful, though joking around, and having fun,of course. And he is extremely focused and so calm. He doesn't look all around, he focuses totally on the picture being taken. He has what seems like inner calm. It's really kind of unusual. I can't really describe it, but it's not the first time I noticed it.
In one of those pics you'll notice a lipstick mark on his face. A girl kissed him kind of an overlong time, but he was very calm about it, then later she or someone else came over and wiped off the lipstick, and he was equally calm and just stood and didn't really say anything. He doesn't seem uncomfortable at all. Nothing seems to faze him.
Just some observations. Hopefully, not too tard-like. lol
