Wednesday night I kicked off my ambitious 4 shows in 4 states in 4 days by heading to NY to see David Cook. Fortunately the show started at 7, was over by 830ish and I made it home before 10.
He has a new album out and did a couple of songs from that, as well as old favorites and some covers thrown in for good measure.
Daryl’s house has video monitors around the perimeter and David was being vain and saying it added 40 or 50lbs (honestly, it was distorting his appearance) which led to some banter with his sound guy and ended with us all flipping him off.
The in between banter is what makes a David Cook show so great and this time he had a fart machine with him. There also was a 10 month old in the audience he took a liking to.
For fire he had us do the F I R E but also had us do J E F F, M I K E and T H O M A S and then we tried to do it on our own for David but there was a mix of D A V I D and D A V E going on.
He didnt seem overall very sure with the crowd and blamed it on the weeknight and that he lost us with the fart machine.
Seeing him is always such a fun time and I cant wait for all of his new music to come out!
