Clay Concerts - Some Things Change and Some Things Stay The Same - PART 1
There are so many wonderful things that we could list about the many Clay concerts we have all attended these past 4 years. I suppose we would have a 200-page article here at CDD if we did!
But one thing we can say about Clay's concerts...some things change and some things stay the same. Clay himself said that his concerts are not the same...that you never know what words he will forget in a song! In each tour, he normally changes a song here and there or adds one several concerts into the tour. He likes to spice it up and give us surprises to look forward to. That's our Clay. Of course, his banter changes from concert to concert depending on what is going on in the audience or in the daily Clay news ("Foot on an armrest", anyone?).
And the hair...the hair!!! It can change from day to day, from concert to concert, not just from tour to tour. As well as what Clay wears. Remember him going from the black suit at the beginning of the Joyful Noise Tour '05 to the white suit after the first couple of concerts. Its fun to wonder about what changes will take place.
But there are also some things that stay the same. These things will almost always remain from one concert tour to another. In a two, maybe three, part pictorial series of "Things That Stay The Same", may I present to you the evidence in pictures of this claim:
The Shirt Tug. Ever since the AI2 tour, when Clay accidentally tugged on his shirt for who knows why, the shirt tug has been a staple in Clay concerts. He found out we love it and he always makes certain to provide us with this heart-stopping form of entertainment!!
The Audience Sing-a-Long. When Clay wants us to sing along with him, he aims that microphone right out into the audience. And we gladly oblige him! Remember singing along to "Invisible"? And now to the commercial and classics medleys!
The Dreamy-Eyed Downward Glance - *Sigh*...*Swoon*...*Thud*...Pick your response. This is sure to make the strongest of Clay fans melt right into their chair.
The Dreamy Eyes Outward Stare. Up, down, out, whatever. Those dreamy eyes just get us every time. Those drop-dead gorgeous green eyes with the heavy-lidded dreamy look is enough to turn us all to putty in his hands. Just stare at this picture and you'll see what I mean.
The Open Arms Stance. How many times have we seen this stance and just wanted to fall right into those arms? No wonder "These Open Arms" is Clay's favorite song on ATDW.
These open arms will wait for youStay tune for Part 2 in this series in our next CDD. Don't you just love it when some things do remain the same?!!
These open arms can pull us through
Between what's left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms will wait for you

Thank you CDD for the beautiful pictures and for everything you do for Clay's fans.
From what I have been reading on the Clayboard, there are tons of fans that follow Clay from place to place and Clay loves it. I only wish I could figure out how people do it, I still haven't figured out how to get a ticket in the front two rows.
To anonymous, no one is stalking Clay, they are showing their support, and as I said before, Clay loves his fans going from place to place.z
