http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz_PY2A0ECg
[0:31Shouting]All right its time for everybody to get out of their seats.[1:39]Hows everybody doing? [David acknowledges fan wearing tour tee shirts]
[2:53 Without being prompted, crowd starts singing chorus, David steps back from
microphone, smiling, clapping, and head-nodding. Was this a milestone on the Declaration
Tour?]
2. Mr. Sensitive
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwNCPj-cMgA[partial;didnt find any banter]
3. Mid Breathe Tonight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz-GNOGtubo[1:54Andy/Dave guitar interaction and Joey rock jump]
[2:18] Are you over it?
4. Little Lies[sans guitar]
[I used two videos. The first has just the pre-song banter. The second video has the mid-song
banter and an image of the little kid hug in the middle of the song gotta love David and
his interactions with kids.]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb_E7M61gF4
Ive got one pick left with like an hour and a half to go. Lovin it. Alright. You two in the back,
the two gentlemen right there, stand up, turn around, just do, do slow turns. You guys see
these tee-shirts these guys are wearing? Little known fact, theyre for sale out front. Hey Id
be remiss if I didnt say thank you very, very much to Ryan Star for coming o ut with us and
opening the show. We ah, we actually got to play with Ryan in Atlanta, ah, last December at
this radio gig, stellar dude. He actually, ah, as a thank you for coming on tour got us a Wii.
So, I know, right. Just one more thing to make sure we dont get anything done. But in the
interim, we gonna throw a cover in here for you, if you guys dont mind. You guys cool with
that? I sure hope so cuz its on the setlist and if you guys dont like it, then, haha, forget it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_gNAdD62jg
[0:38] You guys can get louder than that, right?
[1:30]Everybody out of your seats, lets go.[1:50]Ladies and Gentlemen youll see him a lot tonight, this is the Doctor.
[2:03-2:45 Dave starts walking the stage and working the crowd; hands clapping overhead,
then he spots a little girl at the other end of the stage and walks over to her, stops so a fan
can take his picture, moves on and gives the little girl a hug.] That was the obligatory little
kid hug.
[3:01] Keep it up.

5. Lie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f5qubTyEng
[a little Pantera guitar-jamming before Lie]Were not playing that song so dont you worry.
I dont think Panteras gonna fly with the Idol crowd, you know? So this will be the first time
of many that I get to come out here and say thank you guys very much.
6. Declaration [sans guitar] [*Note: I had to use two video clips; one had full Freebird banter
but no song and the other had partial banter and most of Declaration with mid-song banter]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR0q7fq8OSo[Freebird banter video]
[someone in the crowd chants Freebird]Waitin on the clip so we can play it right for you, ya
know. Are we good Jason? This is what happens when you guys request up on the fly. [cue
Freebird; Dave waves hands like a conductor; music stops, crowd boos] Yall boo all you
want. [Declaration starts, crowd cheers] Now, see now we got you back. So we did, ah, that
actually happened to us cuz we just got back from Iraq. We went to play for the troops for
the USO. And, ah, the soldiers always asked for Freebird. We dont know it so we did that
instead, so, hopefully everybodys happy.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72PLWlmdd5E[song video]
[2:48 Dave clapping, holding up mic, fist-pumping] I know theres more of you out there
than that. I can see more hands ready to clap. I see it. What do you think Andy?
7. My Last Request[sans guitar]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhN-xjEfcNQ
[Didntfind any banter associated with this song]
8. Permanent[obviously sans guitar!]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks1jkGtJJJ8
Im very fortunate I have a little bit of family in the audience tonight and , ah, Id be remiss ifI didnt say hi, so Matt and Deena and kids wherever you guys are at, ah hi, thanks for
coming, ya know. Ah, so this next song is actually probably one of the most personal ones
for me on the record. Its about my older brother Adam whos been battling cancer for a
long time. So, ah, hopefully this song will help promote a cure, I guess.
[2:52] Everybody out of your seats.
9. Make Me [sans guitar]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pGp332QzPA[banter]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezBM8AoqEHo[song; better video & audio quality]
Were gonna liven things up a little now. Shake it out. Were gonna play a song from an oldband of ours. Andy, Neal, and I were in a band called Midwest Kings. So if you dont know it,
I guess youre about to hear it for the first time.
[2:47 Close-up with David pointing to some lucky fan as he sings, How could you make
me? followed by a very intense and pointed Make me fa ll for you as if I had nothing else to
do at eyebrows raise, smile, then the infamous Idol tongue out the side of his mouth 3:13 -

really got it? Everybodys lying. Alright, whoevers got it go to the merch table, you got
yourself a free tour tee shirt. Thank you guys so much for coming out. And it was done
randomly; I dont think my cousin won, so. But in honor of Valentines Day, this next song is
called Kiss on the Neck.
[3:14] All right I want everybody to be honest. How many ladies are in the audience? Okay,
all right, how many guys are in the audience? How many guys are in the audience because
their girl brought them to said show? Ok, well hopefully youre enjoying yourself, alright?

animated David Cook during banter]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wWcTEYGec[full song]

to thank for that, so thanks.
16.Hot for Teacher [sans guitar]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXLGUU6c8UU
[Another milestone the introduction of Hot for Teacher to the Declaration Tour, thank you
for that David] This next song I think you guys should know so hopefully most of you will be
singing along. Hut. [This video is just fun to watch, starting with Dave doing a little skipping-
dance thing at 0:07, followed by a little head-bumping with Joey at 0:20, then a little
jumping at 0:24 and finally the water spray at 0:29 that gets him into trouble later on in the
song.]
[0:43] Oh hello baby. I wonder how many teachers we got in the audience tonight, baby.
Oh!
[2:04 Dave slips on the water he sprayed at Kyle and recovers quite nicely, thank you.]
[2:50] You remember the doctor, right?
[3:30] I think the crowd has slowed, I dont feel targeted (?)
17.Light Onhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UNRsvHvnCA[full beginning banter; no ending banter]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf0zD6KJw90 [partial beginning banter, much better
quality; good close up of Neal head roll, final ending banter]
You didnt have any videos of that do ya, when I slip and fall? Ah. [laughs] Yeah, I was
feeling pretty good about myself until that point. I needed it; I needed it. What is it? My self
esteem had been hovering around normal. Id been needing to knock it down to negative a
thousand. And thats apparently how you do it! So what do you say we play the single?
What about that? You guys want to hear Light On? Im giving you a no-fall guarantee this
song. Its like this.
[NOTE: I used the second video for the mid-song and ending banter.]
[2:29Neal puts his headon Daves shoulderand head rolls him.][4:05] Thank you guys so much Biloxi. You guys have an awesome night. Go win some
money.
18.Bar-Ba-Sol [Needed 2 videos to represent this song properly. The first has Kyles 1:30 minute
drum solo, but you MUST watch the second for the song; trust me]

to heart one more time. Looks up at jumbotron and sees that Beau Rivage has a heartcutout on the screen with his live image in the heart and he cracks up. Blows a kiss [[sigh]],
waves, bows, tosses guitar picks, hand to heart again, blows another kiss [[how much more
can I take!!]]. Pulls all the guys together for a final bow, but Neal is missing, claps, musses
his own hair, waves at the audience, and Neal finally emerges. Dave bows to the band [[nice
view of Union Jacks, thank you]], then joins the band for a bow. Claps once more and hes
gone]. None of the videos I saw had the heart cutout so heres one of my still pix.
