12.7.15 Q104 Holiday Show Cleveland, OH

"There I said it" was indeed heartfelt tonight. I was 6 rows from the stage--saw theosgma, Q3 and hubby, Dancy, vickisusanne, and I sat next to a woman from Sandusky OH that I had met @qalin Auburn Hills. Many of the usual suspects attended--no lack of enthusiasm. It is funny how you sort of recognize people, or think you do. I find it interesting that there are "leftovers" from previous tours: glow lights, those flashing lights on a bracelet, all manner of Adam shirts, a few signs, and glitter and dark nail polish are still sported by some. I saw QAL shirts, too. Some people dressed up in a Christmassy way.

First singer Brian Johnson was a top 12 Voice contestant on levine's team this year. Poor guy didn't know how to tell the spotlight guy to turn down the lights and he spent much of his thankfully only 3 songs wiping his face with a bandanna--a large boy/man; he reminded me a little of Michael Sarver. He wore old jeans and a stretchy t shirt and the smallest, most wrinkled blue shirt that did not begin to cover his girth. He has a pleasant voice.

Echosmith is very energetic and seem quite talented. I guess one of their songs Cool Kids got some radio play. The girl reminds me a little of Anna Kendrick--they can actually harmonize.

Adam's band seems to really enjoy playing for/with him. Terrance and Dani are smoothing out their moves. Everyone stood for the entire performance and he loved the energy. There was a male gay couple in front of me who fell in love this year and were a very happy couple who seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the more extroverted Glamberts. There was a 40ish woman and her 75 yr old Mom who sat on the other side of me and they stood and danced their way through the entire concert--the mom out danced her DD.

The DJ's weren't obnoxious, and one of the producer's brother runs a restaurant and met some hard-core Glamberts who wrote an adamized Night Before Christmas. (Their Literary license should probably be revoked--just saying.) Adam loves singing his own songs, and he received a lot of love back from the audience. The shirt was cool and it fits him like the b/w stripe one does, the big blck sparkly ring was striking because it mimicked his shirt. I'm not talking about the music, but this is a great TISI, and hopefully Dancy got some good audio.
