I love to watch banter videos because David is seriously so funny.

Gotta love his gay/girly voice. xD And the one about him posing as himself.

The best part of the show: IJDIYAT, hands down. Rave/Skibmann/Cookmann, not to mention they rock the hell out of that song.

Even though I really wanna know if Dave changed the lyrics on purpose or if he just doesn't know them yet. xD Also, "I love you David Cook!" "I love you too."

Well, BBS was pretty awesome too.

More:

Mr. Sensitive and WOHWWS (and partial IJDIYAT) in Baton Rouge

Alright, I'm gonna make a separate post of the latest show in Galveston. And the title comes from the beginning of ADAM in Baton Rouge, but if anyone has any better ideas, PLEASE let me know because I know I'm not good with these.

**Cereal Killer** · 07-06-2009, 04:38 PM

From Galveston:

Banter about Johnny Depp and movies
YouTube - David Cook tells us Texans he wants to move here. July 5th 2009

YouTube - David Cook - Heroes (Live in Galveston, TX) 2 (worse sound but more closeup video)
He looks so good in white.

YouTube - David Cook- Mr. Sensitive + Banter- Galveston, TX 7/5/09
Dave goes wild with the guitar.

YouTube - David Cook- Breathe Tonight- Galveston, TX 7/5/09

YouTube - David Cook- Make Me plus Band Intros- Galveston, TX 7/5/09 2 (without the intros but great quality)
Joey does the rock kick again.

And Neal's an increasingly handsome young gentleman. Love the song!

YouTube - David Cook- Bar ba sol- Galveston, TX 7/5/09
Wow, shaky. And I'm not talking about just his hips in the beginning.

YouTube - David Cook - Died In Your Arms Tonight (Live in Galveston, TX)
HOT Skibmann action around 1:30. And have I mentioned how much I love the bass during the sing along part? Because I do.

YouTube - David Cook- Declaration- Galveston, TX 7/5/09
"Everybody else has it, why don't you?" xD

He dedicated it to Adam.

Tugi · 07-06-2009, 05:07 PM

TFTNT!!

And you are not annoying! You just doing your job! I didn't even noticed the other one was coming to an end. Sorry for not giving an hand.

Love him for recognizing Johnny's hotness

And talent!

That ADAM was a bit more emotional than the ones he has done lately. Maybe cause he had family in the audience?
Very pretty though

**Cereal Killer** · 07-06-2009, 05:11 PM

Aw, thanks.

As long as you guys are happy with this title (but tell me if you aren't!), I don't mind.

Yeah, I noticed he seemed to be a bit emotional too. That could have been the reason.

It's always gorgeous, I could not love the song more.

I hope the rest of the set (3 songs) will be posted on YT too, there was HC again during KOTN.

*Paula* · 07-07-2009, 10:49 AM

TFTNT!

Wow he has so many show left to do. He is going to be a tired man.

**Cereal Killer** · 07-07-2009, 03:11 PM

Well, he himself seems to be excited about all this touring so I'm happy for him.

The remaining songs from Galveston:

YouTube - David Cook "Lie" in Galveston 7/5/09 2 (no banter but better image)
Love snarky Dave.

It always amazes me just how pretty that acapella part is. And this performance just seemed to be particularly lovely otherwise too.

YouTube - David Cook "KOTN" Galveston 7/5/09
With Hotel California

YouTube - David Cook "CBTM" Galveston 7/5/09 2 (better image)
It's kinda cool that he lets the audience sing some of the parts.

*Paula* · 07-08-2009, 08:01 AM

Lie is really becoming one of my fave songs from DCTR. He performs it so well.

Tugi · 07-08-2009, 02:59 PM

Lie is soooo gorgeous live!

They rehearsed the NIN song again today... could tonight be the night??!! Please??! And that way we'd have another one for the Survivor game

**Cereal Killer** · 07-08-2009, 03:04 PM

I've really been loving Lie lately, it totally works for me live. So pretty.

Oh gosh, let it be tonight! And also could we have less camera nazis and faster uploading time on YouTube?

Tugi · 07-08-2009, 03:08 PM

I know!! Please... let there be video! I don't know why it's been so hard these past few concerts. The heck! We needz videos.

**Cereal Killer** · 07-08-2009, 03:13 PM

I know!! It's like you have to turn the entire YT around to find one lousy video. xD Chill, camera nazis. It's not that serious and we need our freaking fix.

**Cereal Killer** · 07-08-2009, 05:12 PM

Sorry about the double post but finally at least something from New Orleans starts surfacing.

Bar-Ba-Sol - "Kyle can keep doing this for a while, he's young." xD Also, how awesome and adorable is Joey?

Tugi · 07-08-2009, 06:41 PM

And that was great!

There are more videos from last nigth

(have not seen them yet so I won't be doing the cool comment �* la Laura)

YouTube - I Did It For You - HOB - New Orleans
YouTube - Banter & Avalanche - HOB - New Orleans - Listened to this one. Is just beautiful. The reverb on it is fantastic.
YouTube - Banter & Kiss On The Neck - HOB - New Orleans
YouTube - Banter & Died In Your Arms - HOB - New Orleans
YouTube - Banter & Most of Declaration - HOB - New Orleans

**Cereal Killer** · 07-08-2009, 07:26 PM

Yay, and all the best songs too!

Great quality videos, thanks Ana! "Cool comment a la Laura"...

Ok, this calls all caps. I FREAKING LOVE I DID IT FOR YOU! WHY DON'T PEOPLE LOVE IT MORE?? THE SONG OWNS LIVE! IT IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY ADORABLE AND AWESOME! THE GUITARS AND BASS IN THE BEGINNING. AND THAT FREAKING PROLONGED INSTRUMENTAL PART, DAVID COOK KNOWS ALL ABOUT PLEASURE. LOOK AT THE REST OF THE GUYS SINGING ALONG TOO (AT LEAST ANDY AND KYLE, BLESS THEIR HEARTS). I DID IT FOR YOU LIVE IS NOW OFFICIALLY MY NEW FAVORITE SONG! IT IS MY GOAL IN LIFE TO HEAR DAVID F. COOK PERFORM IT LIVE, YES IT IS. *FAVORITES LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW*

Frack, I can't make out most of the banter.

Avalanche owns my soul.

Absolutely immaculate vocals and the echo effect and the subtle changes he makes to the melody... Be still my heart.

I love that IDIFY and Avalanche seem to go together many times in these shows. You can't go wrong with that combo, Mr. Cook.

You know, YouTube makes it a lot harder for performers nowadays to keep the banter fresh, we've already heard the "thinks he's David Cook" story. xD

And I love from hearthands to something else so freaking much.

Is it even possible for KOTN to be boring? I don't think so. I think it's once again time to point out that Mr. Cook is an excellent moaner. And OMG, when was the last time he actually WHISPERED "with just a kiss on the neck" after the bridge?? HOT!

That sealed the deal DFC, I'm favoriting.

"I love you too, bro." xD

If anyone still dares to say that David Cook doesn't rock, please to be watching IJDIYAT. Show them how's it done, DFC! And with some added Skibmann too.

Great crowd participation! I just wish he would sing the bridge, "it was a long hot night, she made it easy, she made it feel right..." Come on Dave, do it, you know you want to.

him impersonating peeps who don't know the lyrics to IJDIYAT. xD

That was actually a really good Declaration too!

Wow, I'm all pumped now, I feel like I had been to this concert myself.

Love it!

P.S. Boyfriend's looking mighty fine.
