I got everything last night. David Cook’s entire set. And it was a good one. He was very energized by the enthusiastic crowd, and I think you’ll see some things here that are new. Lots of stuff like the bunny someone gave him during “Don’t Want To Miss a Thing”. The clown wig and funny glasses right before “My Hero”–Cookie also thanked fans for donating to Stand Up to Cancer. The back bend in “Billie Jean”–at the end he jumped off the stage right in front of me, practically. The girls next to me to to touch his hand and they were very happy! After making fun of pop tarts, he filmed the audience in the dark–with only the glow of cell phones and glowsticks.

Check out my twitter account of the concert HERE.

So check all 6 videos after the jump!

    Thanks, MJ. You always make the best videos. Great subject matter must have a bit to do with it, but I’m very appreciative of the fact that I never get seasick watching your videos.

  • astolat

    wow, a treasure trove! ♥

  • justic

    I love this guy so much! he is such an awesome performer and a remarkable human being.
    thank you so much MJ for capturing all of this.
    this videos just made my day THANK YOU!

  • Fergie

    WOW. Great vids MJ
    I went to the Washington DC show and your vids are like experiencing it again. Thanks. The girl screaming at the end of Billie Jean is hilarious. Holy F**king Christ indeed honey. Best reaction ever :lol_ee:

    The girl screaming at the end of Billie Jean is hilarious.

    Well she got to touch his hand! LOL. I hope she stops by here to tell us about it. She was sitting right behind me…

  • TheTruth

    OK, this is my moment to emerge from lurkerland (the London, England branch, far, far away). These videos are the best. MJ, you have made a British girl very happy this fine Monday morning.

    Now, I have a little test for us all; what does the back of DC’s teeshirt say? It may be the coolest shirt I’ve yet seen on the man (he knows how to shop), but, as with so much in life, I have to know the meaning.

    I can see something about ‘what defines me…’ but then what?

  • elisad

    TheTruth, the shirt says, “What defines me is not what defines you. What drives me is not what drives you. I love what you do not love. I am me and you are you.”

  • TheTruth

    Thanx elisad – now I can get on with my day. Wise words and proof, yet again, that DC knows what matters.

  • Jolene

    Wow, MJ! WOW!
    Those are some of the best videos I’ve seen all tour long, and the most amazing thing is that you got the whole set.
    Thank you so much, this is the closest I’ve felt to actually being in the venue, and that’s as good as it gets for me on this tour. I do hope David tours solo in Europe someday soon so I’ll get to see him myself.

    BTW, he was totally looking straight at you during TOML.

  • Mia

    MJ, a thousand Thanks !!!

    I read your comment about Cookie and the bunny in the PDSTM thread. Here he is in his rockstar spectacular outfit passionately singing about his one true love…. clutching a white stuffed rabbit. Cute and funny as hell !

  • Jolene

    Here he is in his rockstar spectacular outfit passionately singing about his one true loveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦. clutching a white stuffed rabbit.

    That was indeed a hilarious moment. I loved the whole rabbit shenanigans, from singing IDWTMAT to it, to giving it to Archie during PDSTM, then I think MJ tossed it out to the crowd (which, hey! I’m sure the person who gave it to Cook didn’t appreciate much, LOL).
    I love that the fans started giving him props and that he uses them during his set. There’s always something new and different to look forward to from DC.

  • dew

    MJ Rocks!
    Thank you so much for these wonderful videos!!!!
    Luv u MJ!!! lol
    :thumbup_tb: :jittery_tb: :clap_tb:

  • leome

    neat. MJ for president.

    what does he shirt say?

    and love me some girls yelling “ii touuuuchheddd himmm”.

  • Skylark

    Ha! I was in the front row and he shook my hand, but I did not, I repeat, did not scream. But now I have proof thanks to MJ!! You are so cool!

  • FolkFan

    I’ve only had time to watch BJ, but yeah, MJ rocks. Also, that end after he jumped off the stage was alone enough to justify watching that video. Heh.

  • 123abc456

    Wow the best vids I have seen so far of the concert and he was on last night.
    I love the fangirl who said ” yes” at the end of hello when he sang Is it me your looking for.

  • Autumn

    Awesome videos MJ!! Thank you so much! But wait!!!! I didn’t see the “eyeball” tatt at all???? Did I miss something? Was it not real? Was it covered up with make-up? Where did it go?

    **Ok, nevermind..I was looking for it on the wrong wrist LOL

  • Autumn

    Billie Jean + DC + guitar = Pure Sexiness!!!!

    I’m still choking from the reaction of the girl at the end of Billie Jean – OMG Priceless!!! :jittery_tb:

  • http://www.myspace.com/gwendolyndiane GwendolynD

    AWESOME VIDEOS!!! Thanks, MJ!!!

  • AInoob

    FANFREAKINTASTIC, MJ! Thank you, thank you, thank you for those. I’m trying very hard to restrain my inner-fangirl who wants to come out and squee. Have no fear, I have her on a leash. She’s too old to squee, lol.

    Seems he was rockin’ a fauxhawk of sorts, wasn’t he. Love that new shirt. Cookie’s lookin’ good :wink_wp:

  • EmmaJK

    Thank you, thank you, thank you MJ. These vids are every bit as great as I knew they would be. Cookie sure looked like he was having a great time last night.

    I waited this morning until I had the time to watch his entire set in order, just like a mini-concert. Almost (almost) like being there.

    Those girls at the end of Billie Jean are priceless. Too funny!

    Thanks again, MJ.

  • waffle

    I enjoyed all the videos! Thanks, MJ! I have to say my favorite among the bunch is TOML. He looked so happy singing it! Love, love, love his smiles! And David without the guyliner definitely works! He just seems more accessible this way. Although rock star David isn’t bad either. : )

  • TheTruth

    ‘You can only handle so many Pop Tarts plugs before you pass out.’ Hah! I love a man who can play fast and loose with his sponsors. I don’t even know what a Pop Tart is (do we even have them in Europe?), but I just know I wouldn’t like to meet one. :-)

  • http://myspace.com/girlgeek mj

    I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t even know what a Pop Tart is (do we even have them in Europe?), but I just know I wouldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t like to meet one. :-)

    I have to admit it, I love me some Pop Tarts. They are pastries with fillings that are just the right size to pop into the toaster….thus the name.

    Unfortunately, they have so many preservatives in them, they’d probably out last a nuclear disaster…

  • Autumn

    ….don’t forget that the un-iced strawberry ones, which come packaged 2 to a bag have 210 calories EACH that is 420 calories not counting the butter you HAVE to put on them after toasting them!! Yikes!! why oh why is everything delicious bad for you?? :cry_tb:

  • TheTruth

    Thanks for the graphic info MJ and Autumn! Think I’ll stick to my English crumpets…butter, honey…mmmmm. Not such a good sponsorship hook ‘tho.

  • Jolene

    I admit – I had no idea what a pop tart was before I started watching AI this year. I also did not know how to calculate time zone differences between Eastern and Western time, and the term “Yo Dawg, a little bit pitchy” did not make me want to punch someone.
    Ah, the wonders of being an AI fan.

    Oh, topic. I love DC’s new shirt, but I was sort of hoping he’d continue wearing the Metal Maven shirt until it disintegrated completely (preferably onstage, while someone was filming). (-;

  • TheTruth

    Jolene – on matters of Pop Tarts and shirts, I am with you. ;-) [retires to a dark room to reflect on range of frayed shirts].

  • spritely

    Omg, I can’t stop laughing at the girl at the end of BJ! I couldn’t agree more, sweetie. Perfect end to the whole tour, MJ. Thank you!

  • David_Cook_Rocks

    Holy crap MJ! Those are some super high quality videos. What kind of camera were you using and would you like to lend it me for Tulsa? :lol_wp:

    Thanks for getting his entire set. The Pop Tarts plug had me LMAO… just the way he said it. He’s going to get so many endorsement offers. David could sell a bathing suit to an Eskimo!

    I’m so glad you caught the backbend! The girl’s reaction at the end of BJ was hysterical.

  • ariadne1693

    Whoooo. Best. Videos. Ever. of this set, MJ, thank you soooooo much for these. It was almost like being there again, though if he’d come out into the audience in Kansas City, I’m not entirely sure we would have let him go…..
    The little bit with Timmeh! in the wig and David in the glasses? Caused me to crack up and almost send ginger ale everywhere. These things should come with warning labels. :grin2_ee:

    Daveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s shirt.

    I thought I wanted to own this shirt. But…not for $100!

    I will now resort to writing that saying with a Black Sharpie on a white Hanes T-shirt.

    Oh Cookie…livin’ the good life….

    Daveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s shirt.”

    LOL. I’m thinking Mr. No-Sales-Tax-in-Oregon didn’t buy this one for himself! Or maybe this is his big I’m-a-Star-Now splurge?

  • Jolene

    I think they get their tour clothes from TPTB (or whoever the tour’s PTB are). I don’t think that’s Dave’s own wardrobe. Although I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing the pirate pants make many more happy appearances.
    (-:

    I do have to say – before the tour started, I’ve been told the Idols never change their outfits, and other than the pants David changed every aspect of his outfit since the tour started. Archie’s Liberace suit, for some reason, remained.

  • iamislove

    100 downloads of TOML… = Love & Desire

    Actually, for a top designer shirt in LA or NY that would be more like $199, so he got a deal.

  • AInoob

    Cookie looked much better rockin’ that shirt than the guy on the website, lol.

    MJ, I just watched these again (I may have a slight fixation) and not just the quality of the video but the audio on your camera is awesome. What camera do you use?

  • kathrynTX

    WOOHOO MJ RULES! Thank you so much, mj. Fan-tab-u-lous. Got any more photos though? I want to have all of these for myself and I don’t know how to get them. I know how to save photos though. LOL! Man, was Cook ready for this? I don’w know! This is crazy. I hope it continues with the release of his first major label solo album. I know I will be there to see him on that tour! He is such a RAWK STAH! But when you meet him off the stage…what a nice guy. Gee, seems like a regular guy eh? BWHAHAHAHHA! So. I’ll be in Tulsa. Too bad I know next to nothing about cameras and don’t own one! I can hardly contain myself the last 2 weeks, since I saw him in KC. COOK FTMFW! hee. squee. :lol_tb:

  • jenniewdc

    That was soooo GREAT!! Just watched and listened to all of Cookie’s videos. I really feel like I’ve been to his mini-concert! Up close!

    Thanks so much mj — what spectacular videos and great sound!

    Now, what do we do after September 13!?

  • oliviahope

    Dear mjs: Your videos from last night’s show are terrific! my camera died at the intermission so I missed all of the good stuff! I am the mom-”lady” of the “sleeping” child on my shoulder that David Cook mentioned and I would be so thrilled to have copies of your videos especially the one titled, “banter” where he mentioned my sleeping daughter. If you would be so kind to share them, my email address is: jill@minikinpress.com

    Thanks so much! :) Jill

  • AInoob

    Tell us, Jill, was it really the numerous Pop Tart plugs that put your daughter to sleep? :lol_tb:

  • gumby

    Man, that Providence crowd really loved the Cookster! Awesome videos, as usual. My favorite part is when he pauses at the end of Hello, looks around at the cheering and appreciative audience and gets the best expression on his face. To me, he’s thinking to himself “this (feeling the love) never gets old.” And, for his sake, I hope it doesn’t.

  • InAweOfCook

    Jolene, my thoughts exactly: “I love DCà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s new shirt, but I was sort of hoping heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d continue wearing the Metal Maven shirt until it disintegrated completely (preferably onstage, while someone was filming).”

    MJ, THANK YOU so much for everything last night, twitter, awesome videos, and of course MAVID in record time.

  • s3rious

    As always, your videos are amazing mj. :) DC looks and sounds amazing!
