OMG - The intro staging is PHENOMINAL and our DC being risen up to the stage - AWESOME. This man gets better and better. Again love the miltary vest, jeans, t-shirt. Love the way he plays and teases the audience with Hello - that hestitation near the end - LOVE IT.




Keep this videos coming.

Wow, that's some of the best audio we've heard so far. Great video, too. I hope she got the other songs, too.

David sounded even better on this than last night to me.

Thanks.

OMG...I so wish I was there!
Those vids are fantastic!
Thanks for sharing!

OMG! Best audio and video! Makes you feel like you are right there! Well,after seeing that video makes me understand why he started with HELLO! THANK YOU!!

Thanks so much for all the great videos from San Diego.

I wonder if Lionel Richie will be at any of the performance while they are in California (LA possibly). HELLO has certainly evolved over the last so many months.

WOW I hope I can wait til Sept! Great quality video! That man just can't get any hotter, teaasing us like that, HE knows just what to do. Dunno if I can keep watching these, to hot to handle

I agree.....if he keeps getting better, my head's gonna explode by the end of the month!!

outstanding! thank u for the video~!

Mike Johns - It's all wrong but it's all right

OMG I AM SO EXCITED FOR TAMPA!!! WOOH! gahwhen i hear"Hello" i think i might faint.

Incredible special effects before DC sang HELLO! Excellent videos & audios! Tyvm for posting these! I could cry now knowing I'd miss watching the Idol Tour!

Woooah!
That intro was intense!
AND HELLO WAS AMAZING!

here comes THE REAL ROCKER....OH MY GOD!!!non stop yelling...the whole world loves him...........

Ohemgeeeeee...MY HERO WAS AMAZINGGG! He's gonna blow my mind when I see him live!!! Shittt..that man's got STYLE!! I absol. ADORE his entrance...it's sooo cool!!

what kind of camera shot those videos. The quality is amazing. Thanks for sharing

Our David is certainly a rising star. I love his stage presence and charisma. We are certainly a part of history being made.

Thanks for the postings!! Very high sound and images quality. It seemed to me like I was there!!
David, superb, sexy and a real rocker! MJ great!

Thank you for those videos!!!!! They were amazing. David Cook is a Rock Star! He plays the audience like he plays that guitar! His voice was perfect and his moves were uh delicious! That is the only adjective that I could think of to describe it. Thanks again to all who have videos and pictures and feel generous sharing them with us. I would probably take them in a dark room and lock myself in with them for like a month before I shared them with the world. But, that's just me!

Thanks for the Videos. They are AMAZING!!!! Sept. seems so far away!!!!!

Couldn't agree with you more, we are part of history being made! I feel like I am so priveleged to have seen David from his very beginning on Idol to this day of going out on tour. I get to see him in two days in Vegas with my daughter, and I can hardly stand it!!! I can't wait! These videos are amazing! I know it is going to be a great show. I can't wait till David does a solo concert!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the person that posted these videos!!!

These videos are killing me, people...but don't you dare stop posting them!

I have to wait until AUGUST to see the show. Damn, it seems so far away.

And can i just say...the pants are doing things to me. *thud*

OMG I haven't even read the rest of the board yet but sigh....the video was super clear and I think he may have been even better than Glendale, if that is possible!

I love him I love him I love him I love him.

Here's a different one of Billie Jean, but this one is from the same person that filmed Hello up top. For some reason the audio isn't as good, but it's a clear view, anyway.

EDIT: Oops, that was from the Glendale concert! I didn't realize that she went to both concerts! Very clear video, anyway.


The guitar solo in this video is very clear and full body view - oh lord, my heart.


I don't know whether to keep watching these concert vids or not. I want to so bad, but yet I don't want to completely spoil my concert by watching them over and over for a month!

Then again I'm not sure anything could really spoil this concert for me...

Loved these videos. David really has that IT factor and to watch him you'd think he's been touring and on the big stage for YEARS! He moves with ease, engages the crowd, gives them everything they want! Truly THE rockstar of our time.

I'm so jealous of everyone who gets to go or has gone so far. But I am so happy that people are sharing their experiences and videos and pictures!

Wow!!! OMG! What an entrance on Hello! DC is amazing! A true kick a$$ rocker! The Tampa show is so far away! I'm praying that no one gets sick on this tour! Especially Cookie! Thanks for posting the videos!

Here is the vid of Archie and Cookie doing the handstand.

Pam - thank you. Another Stellar performance.

One reviewer said that he was too cocky...

Yes, he does appear cocky, but that's called STAGE PRESENCE. Rock Star persona. We all know that the real David is humble and wonderful. But when I am watching him on stage I want him to be a total rocker. I WANT him to strut his stuff, flirt with the crowd, do those sexy moves with the guitar, the cfm looks... It wouldn't be the same otherwise. He isn't cocky, he is sure of himself, and he KNOWS how to work a crowd. I want him to be self-confident!

He obviously knows by now the affect he has on women, and he isn't afraid to use his talents to tease us. He is TRYING to drive us crazy (well maybe not the entire time) and he knows just how to do it. I for one would NEVER want him to stop that!!!! It's part of what I find so hot about him!

can i just say how in love i am with "HELLO"?!?!

seriously!

*thud*

he's such a rockstar... he's loving it! [and so are we girls, so are we ]

Your welcome. Yes, it certainly was.

They are so awesome, doing what they can to entertain the crowd! Love it! And Archie looked like he's been practicing! hehe

Another BIG thank you for all you guys who have posted these awesome vids! I am so looking forward to 7/18, but I'm not sure how I'm gonna make it 'til then!!!

I completely agree with you, StitchMeUp. I couldn't have said it better myself.
I don't know how I am going to wait til August.....Hell, I don't know how I am going to survive his set

Is there any way someone could please download some of these videos! I have dail-up and can't see them on youtube. I really want to see them!

You know, you are going to read and hear all types of reviews. David is confident and sure of himself and he knows exactly what to do in all aspects. He is doing what he wants to do and loving what he is doing. We as supports are loving him.

Yes, I like his stage presence and don't care what the reviewers call it. We already know that he's a humble caring person off-stage...ROCK THAT STAGE!

The quality of these videos is amazing! Thank you, everyone! I'm so pumped for this tour. I might have to buy some more tickets....

This site you convert link of youtube.

http://www.zamzar.com/

It copies link, glue in the site and makes download.

All I can say, is I have chills and pass me some kleenex! I can't wait

Thanks to EVERYONE for sharing their David videos with us. I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE TAMPA SHOW. It seems so far away. In the meantime ,I guess I will enjoy all of the videos that my David Cook friends share. This site is awesome and everyone is so friendly. I sure am glad to be here. GO DAVID KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!
WE LOVE YOU AND ALL YOU DO AND CANNOT GET ENOUGH!

EXACTLY! If he doesn't do that, Nigel says he needs to get personality (of course Nigel is alone with that viewpoint). When David DOES bring it on, some disgruntled Archie fan says he's cocky (of course, he's in the extreme minority with that viewpoint). Bottom line, David is a rock star... soon to be a superstar... and this is the David WE want to see on stage!!

omg, that intro was just...amazing. it really really REALLY makes me wish i oould get my mother to take me to a show.. that was fantastic!!!!

I DON'T CARE what the reviewers say. WE WORD NERDS stand united behind our man!
We know he has got a HUGE heart......humble, generous, polite, respectful, sweet, appreciative, fun, loving, charming, caring, ....errrr, someone pls stop me!

Take a look at BONO from U2. He rocked the stage everytime he performs....that's what ROCK STAR is supposed to do on STAGE!! Off the stage, how many countless humanitarian work has BONO done?? Noble peace prize...HELLO! That's what you call a genuine STAR with a ROCK edge....
COOKIE will be like that someday!

Great video job!! Let's hope that David Cook doesn't get his head too wrapped up and can't come down - that's what people worry about. All that talk about his new girlfriend - think about all of this pressure, and she knows the background scene somewhat and that's helpful. I really couldn't imagine going through this kind of emotional roller coaster mind boggling, life altering change that he is going through without somebody to work through it. Doesn't matter who she is or why, but that HE keeps himself the way we all watched him come out, so it will be interesting to watch his journey as he develops.

Let's hope that mid-west style remain true in his heart and rocks himself out and blows everybody away, but that he remain in his soul, what we ALL were amazed by him to begin with, his sweetness and graciousness. He sure is good on the eyes - what a cutie flirt!

I totally agree with you guys. Although I've only met him through the videos and pictures you post he seams to be such a grounded, intelligent and caring young man who is also confident in himself, his talent and his music. AND WE SO LOVE HIM FOR BEING LIKE THAT!

Having a small theatre background myself it is amazing what you can learn on how to approach an audience, how to engage and communicate with them.

That kind of experience can definitely be helpful (dont think it has harmed him), but HE WAS BORN TO DO THIS!!! HE IS A NATURAL ENTERTAINER, and hopefully we can share lots of memorable times thorough his journey as a rising GLOBAL ROCK STAR, 'cause this forum is just an example of how "powerful" he already is!

About comparing him to Bono I am right with you DC for PS 'cause that was exactly the feeling he gave me with most of his performances in IDOL. I've being to many arena and stadium concerts and he totally has the presence-moves-quality to fill that kind of stage, and you can even see it trough a small screen such as it is with a youtube video!!!

Thanks so much for posting aaall these comments and videos, for us living abroad it is priceless and give us a chance to feel the adrenaline of TRUE David Cook fanatic! Molto grazie!!

Cocky is the LAST word I'd ever use to describe him.
