Clay's Picture Perfect Tours: Part 5 - The Jukebox Tour

What was your favorite Clay tour? Did you love American Idol tour because it was the first time you saw him live after American Idol was over? How about his Solo Tour because it was his first tour to headline by himself, not to mention all those great songs he sang from his first album.

Those are all great reasons to love a particular tour. But as for me, my favorite is and just might always be the Jukebox Tour. What great music from 6 decades, sung to perfection by the master singer himself! He fit into each decade perfectly. In that black jacket and black jeans, he was Elvis, Buddy Holly, and Jerry Lee Lewis. In his white shirt and skinny tie and head shake, he was the Beatles. Everyone could pick a song out of his list of songs that they loved. His banter between songs was fun and hilarious. And who said the man can't dance???

People have lots of great memories from the Jukebox Tour. I asked for some of those memories from members of the Clayboard, and here is what some of those people said:

Okclayhoman - The JBT......his Elvis impersonation and playing the piano......Stump the Band......When A Man Loves A Woman.......and LLVL....holy moley!

Rainlover - Great Balls of Fire on the piano

sjk1010 - My first concert was Tom's River, NJ-the JBT kickoff. The anticipation was building because we all had absolutely no idea what Clay had in store for us, and that feeling just multiplied the effect when he blew us all away with the show! From the moment he stepped on stage to apply his magic touch to the skipping jukebox, all the way through his MOAM medley, I was entranced. I'll never forget seeing him for the very first time live, and the one thing that came out of my mouth was, "He's REAL!" as if I was shocked that he actually existed after watching him for so long on my TV and computer! The energy that night was just amazing...From Clay, his backup singers, band, and the audience-everyone was so excited! When the show came to an end I was officially hooked on "Live Clay", and I've enjoyed every tour immensely since.

Sunshinewagon - "Great Balls of Fire" standing on the piano; "Yeah, I know your words"; Laughing & leaning over to "kiss" Angela on "So Happy Together"; When the two girls covered his mouth and took his microphone and he gets both of theirs and wraps his arms tight around both their necks on "So Happy Together"; "Back for More"

Rpoppert - ELVIS!!!!!! Dancing on the piano. Back For More. LLVL. WDC. BOTW live! Mandy.. so beautiful. Singing Rockin' Robin (my name is Robin!). Stump The Band. Clay playing the piano.

Riversend22 - Tour: Of course would have to be the dancing on the piano for GBOF. I was also at the New Hampshire show where Clay talked to Terry. I still listen to that portion and laugh uncontrollably every time.

Below are some of the many great pictures from the Jukebox Tour. I've also included two YouTube videos, one of him singing the Elvis songs and the other one of him in Vermont when he couldn't stop laughing about Felix saying, "And Vermont is a great city." I hope you enjoy. Tomorrow we'll remember the Joyful Noise 2 Tour.
