List: February 23-28, 2013: Sophia's Heart Charity Cruise to the Bahamas!


On February 24, 2013, some of Kris' most dedicated fans set sail from Port Canaveral, Florida to the Bahamas aboard the Carnival Sensation to enjoy concerts by Kris, Danny Gokey, Jamar Rogers (the Voice) and Two Story Road (country duo). The cruise benefits Danny's foundation, Sophia's Heart.

Saturday morning brought a whole bunch of "woot flying to Florida!!!" tweets as people arrived in Orlando to spend the night before departure, and it was fun to watch the flail. You'll recognize names from our Out Alive tour lists. For those wondering, cruising with Kris will be his manager, Sean aka Big Daddy, and Cale. Of course, when on the seas, tweeting will probably not be doable (no connection) but hopefully we'll get updates when they are in port.

Sunday 2/24: Danny performs with Jamar and Two Story Road
Tuesday 2/26: Kris performs with Jamar and Two Story Road
Wednesday 2/27: Both Kris and Danny perform 

Wishing a happy, relaxing and fun adventure to all on the cruise! We'll update this post through the cruise as info comes in. 


Highlights based on list tweets:

Thursday 2/28:
 The cruise has docked back safely in Florida with only one minor international incident involving Kris and Cale, and the cruisers brought us these goodies:
  • Kris singing Land of Smiles on Tuesday via @ArtistSupporter
  • Wednesday set list (partial?): Faith medley, Out Alive, Killing Me Softly and with the other performers: Here I Am to Worship and Signed Sealed Delivered
  • Also, Wednesday night, they set up a little gathering to watch Idol together w/ commentary from Kris, Danny and Jamar.
  • Lots of great pictures now being tweeted by our list.

Wednesday 2/27:
  • Tonight all of the acts performed together (via @ArtistSupporter)
  • Several people got videos of last night's show by Kris so we look forward to that!

Tuesday 2/26:
  • Amazing set list during Kris' performance! The request songs (there were three in the end) were Land of Smiles (with Kris on guitar!) and Running (off Brand New Shoes) and Love Too Much (an unreleased demo from the KATA era). Full set included BWY, AWM, WAYA (aka Amy aka the song for Newtown), Fighters, LYA, Monster, LLWD and STD. Will be doing the usual set list post and linking it here once we get the video!
  • Kris soundchecking Running (via @LittlePawns)
  • Kris performs at 5:30 EST (Bahamas are in the Eastern time zone) with Jamar Rogers. Kris auctioned off a song request to benefit Sophia's Heart, so he'll sing the winning bid!
  • They've landed in Nassau!
Monday 2/25:
  • They've arrived in Freeport! Here's a nice pic of Danny Gokey by @Ang_716
  • Nice picture from the Sunday night meet and greet by @LittlePawns (see the list for more pictures)
Sunday 2/24:
  • Here's a picture of Kris (posted by Kris):
  • Here's a pic of Danny (via @HartNurseDeb)
  • Monday night is Fancy Night!
  • Here's the boat (via @LittlePawns):

This list couldn't provide less information than last night's list did, right? Right? I'm starting to see why the U.S. Government has built its secret bunker in Colorado.

Hoping that we'll find some more people for our list today being that it is in a major metropolitan city. So far I have found a few people via Facebook, but all with locked twitters, aka the bane of a lister. Fingers crossed I'll find you some good folks!

Every once in awhile you get one of those cities that makes you scratch your head and wonder "why would they book a show there?" This usually leads to predictable results for the list - very few tweeters, little information, incomplete set list, and videos posted months after the show.

Yes, Aspen is going to be one of those cities. There's a winter storm brewing (probably keeping any last-minute impulse let's go see a show type people from going) and as of now I have exactly one non-KAB person on the list.

We shall see if the Aspen list beats the Lubbock list of 2010 for worst list ever. Maybe last minute tweeters will emerge and it will happily surprise us! Let's hope so. UPDATE: A few of them have emerged! Hopefully they will tweet, and Lubbock can remain the "champ."

Updated again: I may call it for Aspen. Lubbock had videos and a confirmed set list. Here's what we know about the Aspen show.

List: February 19, 2013: In the Venue, Salt Lake City, UT




In the Venue

February 19, 2013
Salt Lake City, UT

7 PM MST

Jillette Johnson opening




Kris and company have taken a long bus ride from Seattle to Salt Lake City to bring the Out Alive tour to In the Venue (yes, that is the name of the venue). Note that Salt Lake City is in the Mountain time zone - see the time zone converter to the right to figure out your time.

The list tonight has a lot of new names - not sure if they are seeing him for the first time, but unlike certain "best coast" cities that gave me a headache last week, they are actually tweeting about their excitement in advance which makes this lister's job easier and happy! So I would NOT expect many "during show" tweets - this crowd, I suspect, will have a bunch of pictures to post after the show along with their flail.

As always, I ask for respect for the people on the list - and if they post something you don't like, please just scroll on by.

Updated: Relive the show with set list and video links!

Isn't that ad cool? It was posted on a Tumblr blog by a local music promoter.

Kris and the Out Alive tour continue in the Pacific Northwest to Big Daddy and Andrew st. Marie's hometown of Seattle, WA. Many of the folks on the list for Portland are on this list as well (which bodes well; as I write, they are doing an awesome live tweeting job!)

Kris heads to the northern California town of Chico tonight with the Out Alive Tour.

This is going to be a smaller list, obviously, so do not expect too much from it. It's a college town and usually with these lists, there are quite a few late additions (sigh). We do have at least one good video-taker on it.

Insert usual disclaimer about west coast, late night, I don't babysit.

Update: Turned out we did get some good tweeters there! And a bat! Relive the show with set list and video links.

Kris performs his first-ever Valentine's Day show tonight. The gorgeous city of San Francisco is a perfect place to spend Valentine's Day too. (Yes, Katy is going to this show.)

One of the people on this list is going to try to stream it for you, so be sure to watch the list and my twitter account for the link!

And as always, sometimes people on the list will tweet things that you don't like or agree with. Just scroll on by. As I've made pretty clear (I hope), I compile the list. I don't babysit the people on it or the people reading it.

Update: Kris did a lovely version of Can't Help Falling in Love for Valentine's Day. Don't miss it! Relive the show with set list and video links!


Throwback Thursday: Happy Valentine's Day! February 9, 2012

Just bringing back the Throwback Thursday post during this busy tour because it's Valentine's Day!

So Happy Valentine's Day feed! While I'm working up your list for tonight, have some pretty Kris from a year ago singing about love (at the Mint in Los Angeles on February 9, 2012)!

Jillette Johnson opening.


We will get two lists for the price of one today, as the Out Alive Tour hits California's state capitol. First, Kris will do the "Metro PCS Lounge" for local contest winners (this will take place around midday PST).

Then tonight it's the usual concert at a local college. As of this writing, the venue could stand to sell a few more tickets so a last-minute promo push is on. It's possible fans may have opted to go to his Valentine's Day show in San Francisco?

That said, our list is going to be robust, with some great video folks on it! I have put the contest winners on this list as well, so if you see them tweeting about something other than the concert, it's because they went to the contest concert earlier in the day. As always, just scroll on by anything you don't like.

Updated: We got quite a few good videos from these shows!

After a day off, Kris brings the Out Alive tour to this northern suburb of San Francisco.

Our list tonight is smaller but does contain some regulars, so we should be fine.

Work night for me and I won't be around to babysit the list or people using it, so please just scroll on by any tweets that offend or are irrelevant.

Show 2 of 2

9:30 pm Pacific (12:30 am 2/7 Eastern)

Jillette Johnson opening

Kris concludes a two night stint at this venue. The Hotel Cafe is a place where many singer-songwriters (including those of the American Idol variety) showcase their talents.

Our list tonight again includes most of our LA regulars as well as a few new people checking out the show. I'm very excited that a fan of mine from another fandom is there and I've got him properly whipped into excitement for the show - so here's hoping Kris plays his request!

Admin. note: This show starts much later, and I'm east coast based, and it's a work night. So I probably won't be babysitting the list. As always, if you don't like what someone tweets on the list, you'll live. I promise. And if we didn't catch someone to put them on the list on time, that's our and yours and their tough luck. The tweeters we do have on this list should do a great job!

Update: My friend had an amazing time but being a Springsteen fan, he didn't realize he was supposed to live tweet that ;P He did tweet a lot of you the next day though.
