He seems to be singing really well. Confirmation of glasses. She says the spotlights are glaring off the glasses at times. The background lighting is better tonight. More designs are being used.

He was only 3 hours from me. *sniff* See you all here tomorrow.
Title: Re: Cellcert: State Theater - Easton, PA Post by: heater on December 12, 2007, 07:09:54 PM Sounds like he was much more into this concert tonight. Cellcerter doesn't know what the difference was, but she saw it.
The people sitting in the pit didn't seem to be avid fans. They didn't stand up at the end like the rest of the audience. He seemed to change up DSIAFCD tonight a little more than he has in the past. She said he kept looking at Angela almost like he was looking for approval. There was some giggling from the audience during that part. Title: Re: Cellcert: State Theater - Easton, PA Post by: heater on December 12, 2007, 07:13:28 PM Hope you all enjoyed this evening.
See you tomorrow night! Title: Re: Cellcert: State Theater - Easton, PA Post by: Clanderson on December 12, 2007, 07:15:10 PM Thanks so much Heather. It really is appreciated and I'm so glad to hear Clay seems better. I love that guy. :clayfan
Title: Re: Cellcert: State Theater - Easton, PA Post by: WilsonClaymate on December 12, 2007, 07:17:44 PM Heather, thanks for another great cellcert and some mighty pretty pictures
I'm glad people felt he was more "ON" tonight. He usually puts on such a good show RCA must have really upset him yesterday and that's a shame for the people there last night (and that's not an excuse, but it might be a reason). I hope he figures out how to handle that situation or decides to make a change. Have a good day tomorrow and I'll see everyone back here tomorrow night. Title: Re: Cellcert: State Theater - Easton, PA Post by: PHILLYLUVSCLAY on December 12, 2007, 07:20:17 PM Hope you all enjoyed this evening. See you tomorrow night! Thank you Heather for bringing a great cellcert to us! :clap :hugg Title: Re: Cellcert: State Theater - Easton, PA Post by: Glory on December 12, 2007, 07:21:52 PM THANK YOU HEATHER SOUNDED LIKE A WONDERFUL CONCERT TONIGHT . Title: Re: Cellcert: State Theater - Easton, PA Post by: Moonshot on December 12, 2007, 07:24:29 PM Thanks for providing the concert commentary, Heather. It is much appreciated :hugg
Title: Re: Cellcert: State Theater - Easton, PA Post by: ClayHeart on December 13, 2007, 12:31:26 PM I'm a bit confused. I have to admit that since I was unable to see Clay this year, I do live a bit vicariously through cell certs. When I read the cellcert from yesterday, it seemed like everyone was really enjoying the concert, but when I read some of the threads today, it seemed like there was some disappointment. Was it a problem with the M & G, the performance, or both? Just wondering.
