   Added some vids for this show. According to our Ninja Archies, the security was so tight during this show. Plus the fact that David was sick with flu and had difficulty singing.

   Mietra posted a couple of clips from the concert where you can hear David’s hoarse voice.

   Here is an account of the show courtesy of rhiminee:

   He was honest and told the audience that he was not FEELING well and that his voice was not in a good place but he didn’t want to disappoint anyone there so he was gonna give it his best. The guitarist for the opening act said that David was pacing back and forth backstage before the show, anxious about his voice and how he was going to get through the night. They tried to tell him not to go on but he wouldn’t listen. Even after he got on stage and was struggling, he wouldn’t leave when his manager motioned him to.

   He managed to get through over half of the show before things got even worse. He began to lose his singing voice completely and was finally just speaking the lyrics. He admitted he needed to take a break and went backstage. Kendra and the band played a song in the meantime and they told the audience that David was really sick with the flu. He had been on vocal rest the day before and made it through the 2nd Idaho Falls show that night but it finally caught up with him.

   David came back on stage and apologized and said they would have to cut the show short. The show producer said that they would give everyone there half price tickets to a Christmas show in town in December (!!!!!!!). David wasn’t done yet though. Even though he should have been, but he’s a stubborn kind of guy you know.

   So, with the help of the crowd, he finished off the concert with Bridge Over Troubled Water and Glorious. The crowd obliged and sang along (and in some moments sang for him when he couldn’t) and lifted lighted cellphones into the night to make kind of a magical moment for everyone. David wouldn’t leave without sharing those last two songs. That dude. His heart. And then the show was over. But it was the support that came in after that was most moving to me.
