They are amazing. If you can download them. I will host them one at a time, I have limited web space.
These were the ones I was going to send you, she is doing one at a time. I think she is up to 6 songs now. It is amazing matching of different clips from different shows with perfect sound.

Ler me know, I am off on vacation in a couple of days, so I can start with a couple and change them up when I come back.
I think Clay media is also hosting them, but they bring back all the feelings of the tour.

Just let me know.

It depends how big they are.Sadly we can only afford dial up.So it could take awhile to download if it is bigger then 20 mbs.
I am waiting patiently for Clay to come to Ontario.I would glad spend gvery dollar I own just so Yvonne and I could see him live.Now that's pathetic.LOL

It's OK, Luvmom. I will burn them and send them to you when I get back from vacation. I can put one small version (I download the large ones) one out there tonight so you can see.
I have downloaded huge files. If you got to getright.com, you can download thier software for free and it allows you to restart when you disconnect and to stack downloads so that you can let your computer run overnight. That is how I used to download, plus it downloads 3 or 4 times faster than save. I still use it for entire show downloads with DSL.

OK, go to this site and find file that says - right click and save, then do that. This is the smallest Montage.

For some reason I have to refresh this page to make it show up. Weird.

Thanks for the link Sadiesmom -- that was great!

I watched Clay on Kimmel and he was charming and ornery and just wonderful. He's coming to my state fair and I have a ticket, way in the back, but anywhere is fine as long as I can hear him sing.

Aflack is doing all the concerts songs. She has done 6 now, but they are not in order. The Kyrie is amazing. I am limitied to 20 mb on that sight and cannot carry the big ones. I will put up a different one tonight. The Mpg's are full screen amazing!
Aflack put a ferry funny version of Invisible, because we heard it so many times.
I think all of these are available at Clay-media.

My sister is going to force me to get a DVD burner and learn how to burn them, so I can fit more on a disk.

I am off for vacation tomorrow, so I will see what I can do tonight. I will delete the one there and put up the way.

You are welcome everyone. I get so many wonderful gifts from people, I need to give back once in a while. I know there is a waiting list to get into the group I am in with the 'vault'.
We have also been limited to minimal downloading this month due to expected concert Clack.

If you know anything you want is out there and it takes less than 20 MB, let me know, I probably have it. I have every television appearnace and promo. I don't have every concert. Stopped downloading because I didn't have time to watch, but these Aflack videos catch the best.

I couldn't find them at Clay-media -- do you know where on the sight? I'd love to see one for When Dove's Cry.

WDC is not done yet. Each one takes a long time because she looks at all the concert videos for the song and that is a lot, then she has to splice the songs to coordinate and pick her song.
I will tell you the Invisble one is hysterical.
I will ask my sister if she has any web space, perhaps she can host larger ones when I get down there in 2 weeks.
Like I said I will put another one up tonight and look for where else the videos are. If I find a site, I will post it.

Have any of you registered at Idolforums, I know the CH shares with them. And airplaycentral is coming back up, but they are looking for help to run the site.

Does anyone else think that Barbie's new beau, Blaine, resembles Clay? I saw this in the paper yesterday and the eyes really struck me as being like Clay's.

Well, if they did model him after Clay, they forgot to include Clay's lazy eye on the left.

I seemed to have fallen asleep for 6 hours, but before I went to sleep I was standing on line for GMA at 4 AM. Oddly enough, I never met any of the people who I was supposed to visit with.
Here is my summary.
Part 1 - Before Clay
OK, planned who to get into New York at 3 am, everyone talking about the line made it sound pretty large, was not that large, as people slowly drifted in until after 5 AM when they really started gathering, so not neccessary to get there quite so early. There were people withy lawn chairs (I say grumpily with aching feet, since someone said we could not keep the chairs we brought), there were people sleeping in blankets, I made a quick walk around the block looking for people I recognized (didn't find any one) and got into line and there must have been 10 more people than when initially I arrived.
It was a beautiful night, it was raining at home, but was warm with a light breeze in NYC. We all sat around and talked until dawn when we had to close up the line as more people arrived. Then we stood and talked.
We thought they would never open the gates, but they eventually did and we went pouring in, many people pushed past me (relates to later in the story). First we had to stand in line while some others were escorted in. We were in that line until 8 AM. Everytime the camera panned for us, and when Clay went to do the sound check, the sign people seemed to be all up front. - OK, hold your sign up for a little while, but Cheese, people, we wanted to see Clay reherse. At 8, they started to let people in 10 at a time. Why? Because they wanted a count and that is how they decided to do it. I don't know hwo long they kept that up, it was really slow, but I was still pretty close and pushed almost back to where I should have been. Did I ever say anything about tall people always being in front of me? Never mind. So they let us in and we are told not to stand on the path, but to stand on the grass. Well, that would have put me on the side or a bit behind everyone, so when there was all this space on the path, I just stepped down and walked over so I was in front of the mike and about 10 people deep. Primo! Couldn't see the stuff on the ground, but great view of the stage. Many people who had cut in front of me were pushed over to the far side - Karma, my personal brand. (I saw Clay's shoes, more later).
How crowded was it? Well You could rock, but you coukd not take a step forward or back or to either side. Fairly dense without being scary.
The Tony comes out and starts instructing people how and when to scream - these people are so naive - show Clay fans how to scream - Hah, ask them to waves signs - ha ha! So we cheered on cue, but the one remark that got the most, loudest and longest cheers from him was when he announced that the front 1/3 of the audience was only allowed to hold up signs on cue, and not during the music. We were also told, that this show would be different than the others in that there would be no cooking or other interuptions, but it would be all about the music.

Later Tony came out and said this was the larges audience ever for this concert series, over 3000 people. He kept insisting he was not lying, like anyone would think that he was.

Finally, Tony came out and said that for the first time he was asked by security (did not identify who's security) to ask the audience to not rush the stage as the stairs could injure them. Hey, we are respectful fans. There was no pushing at all. I even tried to not block anyone behind me who was short, but I was too selfish to let them in front of me.

Part II CLAY!!
OK, we are waiting for Clay and being teased by Tony, when they start showing Clay videos - They show invisible and lot, lot of people sing along. Then they have BOTW anomoly night, making everyone smiley and agian singing along, finally they show the way video, not as much singing.
Finally Diane Sawyer comes out. She looks a lot nicer in person. She looks surprised at the crowd, she starts talking about how she wished she could sing so that this crowd could be for her, she received a fantastic welcome, as did Robin when she also appeared on stage. The rest you have seen on your TV or heard reported, Diane Introduced Clay by saying he 'almost was triple platinum' and that Clay's brother enlisted in the Marines - duh.
Clay came bouncing out in his brown shirt and tie and striped pants, at least he is still in stripes, just on a different body part. The crowd is wild, there were wild before when the caught a glimpse of him slightly behind stage. Ohm I forgot to mention earlier that Tony told us to be enthusiatic because performers perform better when the audiences have enthusiasm. I don't know why Tony was so out of the loop. Anyway, you could just see Clay getting more 'glowy' as he absorbed that welcome whch seemed to stun every one on GMA. I had to laugh because some of the staff later emerged with ear plugs.
Ok, you saw all the singing on TV, what did you miss? Well, after the songs were over and he was off camera, some of the screams and applause would die down, then Clay would wave at us and the screams would renew and he would chuckle. Damned tease. I thought he was stringing us along. I think you guys were right, he missed us. I believe [/delusional] that we made eye contact at one point when Clay was singing just at the moment I decided to take a swig of soda from a can. This must be unacceptable fan behavior. Hey, I needed the caffeine.
Yes, at one point between Invisible and ISY, John came out and picked at Clay's hair. It was so funny to see him from bing in control and discussing something with the back ups, to a little boy being fussed over. he even put his hands behind his back and lowered his head a little.
Between ISY and IWCY, Diane Sawyer and Faye came out of the stage. they were not on camera, so Diane starts talking about things that embarass Clay and asks if his Mother ever embarrassed him with her dance moves. At this point, Dian starts doing the twist and Faye starts doing a shimmie, a real shimmie. Clay just cracked up at that point. He said her dance moves didn't embararass him, Diane started asking if that meant all the 70's dance moves? But the camera count down started again.

This has been a fun Clay week, and more to come!

Rehearsal tomorrow for Sunday (I'm sure someone will have video), the big 4th performance, and then the Early Show on Wednesday.

It warms my heart watching all this, I can only imagine how intense it is for those who are able to attend.

I loved the whole show. In fact I also watched the re-run.
It is great to see Clay doing nationally broadcast shows that people other than Claymates watch. And it is also so good to hear the loudest cheers being given to our Clay.

I think Clay did a marvelous job yesterday. I loved his Measure of a Man. When he was singing God Bless the USA, I thought of Josh Gracin. I alsmost didn't switch on the beginning of the concert because I really wanted to see something on the local part of the Boston concert, but there was nothing good on then so I saw Clay. Loved his outfit BTW.
