University of New England

Biddeford, ME

2 to 6 PM EDT

Other Acts: Love and Theft; Hello Newman

Show and List Preview:
Ah another college show. I have a love/hate relationship with these. On the one hand, the opportunity to get new fans exposed to the music is fantastic. On the other hand, the hardcore fan gets very little goodies from these; and in many cases is unable to attend. (Which is a bitter pill to swallow when there are no shows for the non-college student on the schedule at the moment.) But college shows are what is happening now, and this one is at a picturesque college on the coast of Maine. Attendance is limited to those with a college ID and one guest they bring.

List Preview:

You'll recognize some names. :) There's some fans of other idols going to check out Kris out of curiosity as well, so here's hoping he slays them!

Updated: Special thanks to Altrus01 for being awesome and babysitting this list. Q97.9 graciously streamed a good portion of Kris' show! And we have some awesome videos from it! Click here for the Set List/Video Links Post.

Flashback Friday: It's Fun to be a Kris Fan!

On Fridays during down 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 - I thought a good reminder that being a fan is fun was in order after spending a week watching poll angst on Twitter. So here's Kris covering the Prince classic When Doves Cry in 80s Wayfarers, on January 15, 2013, at Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA - definitely one of the livelier, more fun crowds this tour! LOL listen to them go "whooooo" when he sings the line about touching his stomach. Not that I was among that group, no way, not me. ;P

For the Bonus Video - Here's my favorite of Kris' Out Alive Tour recap videos, set to My Weakness (a fun song) and featuring the Chicago, New England and Toronto shows (look, the crowds are having fun! Plus the KAB singing the Friends theme at the end!) It deserves a few more views!

So yes, please vote for Kris in round 3 of Ryan Seacrest's poll, but also just enjoy how awesome Kris is too and have fun being his fan!

The New England swing of the Out Alive Tour moves to the coastal town of Rockland, Maine tonight. A special thanks to @NoSilverNoGold who has been giving us great tweets the past two nights and who is planning to go tonight!

List Preview:

Last night's list was super quiet (except for @NoSilverNoGold, thankfully), but apparently the crowd was rowdy! We will have to see if this list is the same; I noticed there are some of the same people going.

Updated: Great list! Don't miss the videos and the cover of She Thinks I Still Care, done in tribute to the legendary singer George Jones, who passed away on April 26. Set List/Video Link post is here.
