Show and List Preview:
Kris returns to the college town of Gainesville, FL to kick off a January mini-tour of the Sunshine State. He last played this venue a little under two years ago during the Out Alive tour. His request song that time was a fun cover of Get Back by The Beatles. His full band solo shows were the best shows we've had since Horizons came out, so can't wait to see the tweaks the band has made to the set list! (I think it will be full band based on this Instagram post by drummer Brad.)

Updated: The crowd was young, and the videos we have are fun! Set list and media after the break...

Flashback Friday - Kris in Florida (Gainesville 2013 & Sunrise 2009)

On Fridays during non-tour periods, we try to catch up on tour media around here! We'll check out a video to catch up on the Out Alive Tour. Plus I'll try to give you a bonus video - maybe one that got overlooked or one that is just worth watching again.

For the Out Alive Tour Catch-up Video, as mentioned yesterday, I am going out of town to spend a week with the family at our new vacation home in Florida. So I have the Sunshine State on my brain, and I recall that we did not get too many videos right away from the January Gainesville show. So I've decided that we shall enjoy this video of the request song, Get Back, by Krista Lauren. She's also got a nice video of his cover of Garth Brook's The River. If I did it right, this video will lead you to an excellent playlist of all the videos from Gainesville.



For the bonus video, well I see MJ is tapping the Kris fans to go live tweet tonight's Idol tour concert. So it's time to go reminisce about the amazingness that was the Season 8 Idol tour. Remember the cellcasts, the Kradam dance, the plaid, the autograph lines, the bouncing way too close to that hole in the stage? I challenge the Season 12 idols to be even half that much fun.

So tonight's bonus video, continuing our Florida theme, will be a video of Don't Stop Believing from Sunrise, July 29, 2009! Has it really been almost four years?



That was fun, we will try to do some more Idol tour reminiscing this summer. :)

Jillette Johnson and Rachel Rose Opening


Kris and the Out Alive Tour spend the last of three tour stops in Florida in Gainesville tonight. Gainesville is known for being the home of the University of Florida and the legendary Tom Petty. Maybe we'll get another request granted like this outstanding one?

Let's hope anyway. Request hour on Twitter is proving to be very interesting, but I'm always relieved that Kris displays his exquisite music taste when making his selection.
