Clay Concerts - Some Things Change and Some Things Stay The Same - PART 3

Some people wonder why Clay fan go to so many concerts on one tour. "Isn't one enough? Why would you want to go hear the same songs over and over again?" What they don't realize is that a Clay concert is never exactly the same. Yes, the songs are the same, but Clay may add a little extra something to a song or two the next time he sings them. And of course, the banter. The wonderful, hilarious banter! Never is that the same! Give Clay a different audience to play off of and there's no telling what will happen on any given night! He is a top notch showman and entertainer. Saying and doing the most hilarious things that seem to come off the top of his head. What's not to love about going to several Clay concerts?

And yet, people do like the comfy cozy feeling of things being the same. Like a blanket or stuffed animal that you've had since childhood, its always the same and that is comforting for you. And that's the way many things at a Clay concert are. In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, I've led you through the pictorial evidence of the "sameness" of some things about a Clay concert. Now, here in Part 3 are a few more things that fans will always love and look forward to seeing over and over again.


Hand Shakes At The Bus. If at all possible, Clay always comes to the bus to greet the fans. He goes out of his way to do this. Even lining up single file 2500 anxious fans waiting to shake his hand. How many stars do this? What a sweetheart.



A Big Belly Laugh. Once, maybe twice, probably several times on each tour, there is something that just absolutely cracks Clay up. Remember "Vermont is a city"? How about the girl he "kneed" in Charlotte. Its a given that this is going to happen many times in any given tour!



Pursed Lips. Oh my, thank goodness this one is a given! While singing a song, there will always be a time that Clay's lips form a perfect kissable pose. Very nice! Aren't you glad that some things never change?



The Microphone Caress. I remember first noticing this on his solo tour. The friend I was with was about to keel over! A gentle caress of the mic sends any serious Clay fan over the edge! And I guarantee, ladies, it will happen at least once in every concert.

Stay tuned for Part 4, our last part, in this series. Maybe some of you can send comments to CDD with your own things that never change on a Clay tour. If so, we might try to include them in a later article.
