After sightseeing the first part of the day we decided to take the subway back to the hotel to rest up before the show. Funniest thing ever... while we were on the subway an announcement something to this effect came on: "a crowded subway is not an excuse for sexual assault. If you feel you have been a victim of abuse, please see a security officer or MTA staff." We also sometimes here "have a safe day" and "please watch your cameras and other electronic equipment." Not to freak anyone out about NYC subways or anything. So after resting a little we got in line for tonights show. I don't know what it was but tonight was definitely my favorite night so far. I didn't hurt as much as last night (we walked too much yesterday), I sang and danced like a maniac, Hanson were like SPOT ON. The crowd continues to be nonpushy, sings along when it's good to and is actually (mostly) silent when it should be. There were 7 songs on Underneath I have never heard live before so I was pretty excited for almost every song. Taylor & Isaac both on guitar for Dancing in the Wind is probably the coolest/best thing in the whole world. When You're Gone was neat with Taylor on acoustic guitar and Isaac on electric. I loved how Broken Angel was basically a Zac solo but the other 2 were there for shakers and AMAZING backup vocals. Even though the album drums weren't there I liked it this way better I think. HEY was super fun as always... esp |

since Taylor started repeating the little ramble bit at the end and then the crowd basically took over. The whole week he just seems to be in disbelief this is all happening. At one point he said "you guys are all amazing. Don't let anyone tell you any different." Taylor dedicated Penny & Me to his daughter who was in the audience and I teared up. Just the love of a father for his daughter, I know what that feels like and it was just SO sweet :) Before they started Deeper Isaac said "I didn't know what this song meant when I wrote it.... but I found out in September" and he spent the whole song smiling at his wife which I think is precious. ZAC PLAYED LULLABELLE. I was SO EXCITED about that!!! The crowd was remarkably quiet and we could hear every little thing. It was so special. My love for the Underneath album was rekindled tonight. Like they said a couple of times throughout the show, that album took so long and has so many stories surrounding it, so much pain, struggle, and then triumph. It was a defining moment for the Band for sure and I think that's why tonight seemed to special. I am so honored and happy to be able to be a part of this whole week! I can't WAIT for tomorrow's show!!! | |
