Cellcert: Clay at the State Theatre in Easton, PA

[Sundancer]

During the banter segments, there is so much laughter. He definitely has the audience going. How awesome to be able to lighten the hearts of so many people at once - and then thrill them to the tips of their toes with that powerhouse voice!

Well-said.

HTHAS/OCAYF - Sounds like he is in very fine voice tonight.

This concert is a sell out - and it sounds like it! The applause is deafening for HTHAS/OCAYF.

He is wonderful in everyway and glad it's a great audience tonight.

Hi, MS  CLANDY!  Great to see you.   Bears just made a touchdown to tie up the score.  (Oops, I think you're a St. Louis Fan, eh?   )

GLORY, I want you to know that we're all pulling for you, sweetie.  And hoping that the pizza and donuts don't do a number on your digestive system tonight.   

MS SUNNY, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. 

Oh, please. As if you'd be wrong.

MS. SUNNY, between the two of us we'll keep the musical terms straight for Clay, OK?  Even when he decides to be smutty in the process.

MGUCL is just gorgeous.

He makes this song really come alive and he makes you really listen to the words.

It seems a little faster to me tonight. 

This is just stunning tonight. 

He went up at the end a little bit tonight.  Very pretty.

What if I know the smutty terms better?

he's picking people from the audience..but not sure why...letting them ask questions...something about his bangs...his hair is a little too long...

Intro Jesse....was with us in 2004...extremely lucky...he is from NJ....something wow...something wow....Jesse is talking, but i couldn't hear what he said...

talking about Angela Fischer...will be back in a couple of months...(is that a tour hint?, probably not, but i like to read into things)

Quiana with her baby....

song that friend of his wrote, David Foster

MGUCL...very fitting for the times.....

That's almost poetic, MUFFY!  Well said!    Now if only there were a Grammy category for "lightening hearts, then thrilling audience to the tips of the toes".  Oh well, someday.....sigh...

WHOOPS! I DIDNT SAY IT- I AIN'T THAT POETIC.
THE RED IS BROUGHT OVER FROM CELLCERTERS ON OTHER BOARDS.

Talking about growing up how he had his favorite Christmas songs and how he had always heard this hymn called OCOCE.  It was in a minor key and he didn't like that as well.

After Stephen Curtis Chapman made some changes to it and made it a major key it became his all time favorite Christmas song.

He sings this song with so much reverence.  So beautiful.

Some changes to the notes in this tonight as well.  Very subtle though.

Another very powerful ending.

Amazingly beautiful.

Huge, huge crowd reaction!

[Marilyn]

talking about his favorite songs at Christmas time...in church they always sang Joy to World....OCOCE...Jesse playing it now....done in a minor key...it is very hopeful song....very positive song...SCC changed the chords...far more majestic...favorite song to sing on this tour...OCOCE....

Sounded quite Muffeyesque to me, MARILYN!   

Welcome aboard, MS BARBARA! 

[Marilyn]

The combination of his voice and the incredible instrumentation of the orchestra is absolutely overpowering (in a good way) - (overpowering is not the right word - just a massive, wonderful combination)

I can't find the words to describe this. It is absolutely spectacular.

Another hope for Clack.

HUGE HUGE audience response. They're blowing out the mic!

[Tiffany]

Hoping for lot's of Clack tonight.

Hey Barb.
