David Archuleta Headlines The Constitution Fair
Posted by bebereader on Saturday, September 17, 2011
David has created lots of buzz in Arizona as he headlines a concert at The Constitution Fair in Gilbert. Fans have come from all over the country plus Canada and Mexico to see David’s first United States performance since his epic Asian Tour last month.
Lots of goodies today! Several interview videos including one that revealed an upcoming U.S. Holiday Tour!
Marylee_Angel received a reply tweet from David today when she tweeted:
@DavidArchie We’re sitting here on Twitter wondering about VIP at your upcoming Tour…what are the chances? *pretty please* 🙂
to which David replied:
@Marylee_DAangel I think the chances could be good.
One poster among several with song requests.
The stage is set for the show.

Thanks “Vpeeps” (as someone recently referred to the fine people on this site) for such awesome coverage of tonight’s event! David certainly was in fine voice and the crowd seemed to truly love him! So great to see him back up on the stage where he is meant to be! I can’t wait to hear all the details from all the lucky attendees and see all the pics and videos. Thanks to all those that kept us informed and made us feel a part of the excitement!

Whoooo! Woke earlyyy this Sunday morn…so here I am, blarry eyed still and catchin’ up here…about to go make some toast and take a break, BUT…I just listened here to THE most wonderful new take on “GBA” #25 I’ve heard (and my favorite DA one, now.)
I will be saving this in my arsenol of YouTube links I can “annoy” my non-DA friends with on patriotic holidays with email spams of it. okok, I keep them to a minimum…’til I get one like this and can’t resist. Ha…”How to win friends and influence people.” 🙂
BUT BACK TO DAVID and that video….I love the kinda jazzy, bluesy, swingy, soulful spin on it…with plenty-a-heart, of course. I also got a kick outta him…kinda “conducting” the rhythm and pace of the song with his arm at one point. Also seemed to be trying to get his keyboardist’s attention in the beginning…I could be wrong…but anyway…loved this version. Back for more in a bit….

“The Star-Spangled Banner” with the 4th stanza!!
Who does that? Well, if we had to guess beforehand; all of us would say David Archuleta, of course!!
This is the first video I am watching this morning…and my first chance to hear the show. Last night and into this morning, the cable internet connection had gone out in my area. (Aggravating and always, always at the wrong time). Anyhow, it’s on now.
David… is perfection!
Sang it gloriously…
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

What a day and night we had yesterday. It was so great to see all the fans and to meet so many of you at the get together at Pei Wei’s. I have to say the fans of David are the most wonderful, genuine and generous people in the world. Thanks to all of you who donated for the flowers, wrote cards, letters and gave gifts to David. Fans from near and far were involved and just want you all to know he received your gifts and was overwhelmed.
I’m not great with words like many of you, but just wanted to say, WOW! What a great concert. David was awesome as you can see in the video’s, but what I’ll remember is all the new friends I got to meet and share this experience with. Thank you to all.
It was so awesome to spend time with Djafan, Angelica, Silverfox, Hooked, Pattirae, Shawna, cb, Carol and Sandy Beaches. You don’t know how much I was looking forward to meeting some of you for the first time and also visiting with some of you again. It was so much fun! So have any on you washed your hands yet? 😉
Hope everyone that came had a great time in Gilbert, AZ and so glad the weather cooperated. Perfect for an outdoor concert. My favorite of the night was Heaven. David sang that just for the fans. I could feel him communicating with us and telling us thank you for being there and for all we did to make him feel welcomed.
Thanks Abrra and Bebe for getting all the happenings up so quickly as they came available. You two rock!!!
Thanks to all the fans who recorded the concert. I’m going back in now to relive the experience and revel in his wonderful voice.
Hope all those fans traveling back home make it safely, with no surprising delays or layovers, right Angelica? ♥ ♥ ♥
Whew, okay I’m done, except to thank Angelica, Djafan and Sandy Beaches for all their hard work. You are all awesome!

Last night David touched hands. He didn’t just high five.
David walked along the barricade and put his hand out, arm outstretched as he touched our hands and let us touch his arm, his hands, it was a true exchange. It reminded me of Asia when he put out his hand into the crowd and everyone touched his hand. Unreal.

I was sitting here thinking…Elvis had his trilogy, and David has his patriotic medley. Distant similarities,if that makes any sense but just one of those little “things” that make me grin. This patriotic medley sets David apart from his peers as does the National Anthem and any other patriotic song he has sung.
,”land where my fathers died, land of the peeeeelllgrims pride” ….that trademark ‘cry’voice! Gah!

Was there Saturday night, I am a 36 years old dad and came to see David for my 2 year old daughter who adores David’s music ( I have to play Elevator couple of times in my car stereo with her begging for more). David is her justin bieber to many little girls her age, which I would say David is far better than any other modern day american pop singers.
he reminded me so much of my favorite singer way back in 80s and 90s,Glenn Medeiros ,who is like David ,is a product of a talent search, you can see his vocal style and charisma a lot like David, and no wonder I became an instant fan.
You can watch him perform on youtube and judge it to yourself.
David is a gifted performer and no wonder why he is loved by my countrymen back home in the Philippines.

This is nice from Ben’s girlfriend.
I normally don’t write much on my blog because I just like posting artwork and calling it a day, instead of rambling unnecessarily. But for this one, I really wanted to share the story behind it…
My boyfriend, Ben started playing bass for David Archuleta back in April of this year, and we flew to Gilbert, AZ this weekend because David was headlining the 2011 Constitution Fair, an annual event held in the city of Gilbert. I was really thrilled to finally get to see a live performance because I had never been to one of his shows, only a rehearsal just before they toured Asia back in July– So this was a brand new and exciting experience for me! Danielle and I (Steven, the drummer’s wife) got to hang out on stage during the sound check and sat front row during the show. Obviously, we had a great time. One of the things I really enjoyed was watching the younger, die-hard Archie fans. They exhibited the whole spectrum of emotion, from sheer glee to hysterical screams and sobs. They were so devoted! After I managed to get backstage again (Getting passed security was a whole other story in itself, which I may have to make a separate post about later on!) we stayed in the trailer a little while before it was time to go back to our hotel. The way it worked was the band got in the van first and pulled up near the barricade where the fans gathered, then David ran out to give them one last smile and wave goodbye, hopped in the van with the rest of the band, and we sped off. It was surreal being inside that van but still being a spectator. It was an experience I’ll never forget… And a story I had to make into a drawing.

Sometimes I wonder if my words in English are understandable, ¿¿These words are enough to express my gratitude to all the girls at The Voice??. I hope so.
I do not want to write the name of each one because I have fear of forgetting some. But I must write some names, I should.
Abrra, she was the first of the girls, who welcomed me to chat and try to make me feel comfortable.
Angelica, she has been very conscious of my ignorance of English and she made me understand that this is not a problem, an obstacle that can disappear when I want.
Bebereader, she is someone who is not angry with me when I say something stupid about david. She is quiet and she hopes, that I account for my error.
Steno is special to me, with her, we chatted a lot, I talk too much and she listens to all my theories about david. she is very patient.
Gayle (I apologize if there is an error in the name), she speaks Spanish and is easier to express all the crazy things going through my head and our discussions are very interesting.
I have left for last place Djafan. The most interesting part of our talk is the harmony that exists between her and me. (I feel so)
Djafan, she has heard every one or all of my thoughts about David. She speaks Spanish, too, and the conversations are more fluid. I have had wild theories, some are successful and others …., I do not know.
Djafan has been my muse for this journey without end, thanks dja.
I feel a great admiration for all. I want to ask many apologies for the missing names.
thanks to all, and David, for making my life again, an adventure.

Hi Jans11…I am in the Newark airport still making my way! It was good to meet you and Dayzee…
I was standing close to Ben’s girlfriend after David’s performance and I was watching as the security people would not assist her in an appropriate way. I was very close to lending a hand when Ben came to get her. The security was a little over the top throughout the day and did get between David and his audience. I held back from asking the big guy in the middle of the front of the stage if he would like a chair or maybe he could smile just a little!!
Anyway, you just never know what will be!!!

The bracelets brought cohesiveness to all the fans. Many people stopped and introduced themselves when they saw we were wearing them. That was a terrific idea SB. Thank you.
As always, it was truly a love fest from every dimension. It was great to have all the fans looking out for each other. Taking care of each and every one. Many of us came by ourselves and it was never a problem. Everyone was made welcome. Angelica was very nice to me even when she thought I was a stray Davidless hotel guest who had wandered into their party. That was before i had the black wrist band for ID. Haha.
Thanks to everyone. You all made my time there euphoric. Shauna and Patti for saving us a seat. Jan for helping me find my way around. All of you at the hotel. Just too many to write down.

Celebrity sighting: David Archuleta at Joe’s Real BBQ
by Jess Harter | September 19, 2011
Former “American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta dropped by Joe’s Real BBQ in Gilbert on Friday to enjoy some ‘cue. We haven’t been able to track down any photos of the pop singer there, but the restaurant posted this memento on social media.

“There’s an interview with “American Idol 10” contestants Lauren Alaina, Paul and Thia Megia who guested to promote their two-night concert at the Araneta Coliseum that we heard had slow ticket sales. Maybe Pinoys were not really interested in them as even the winner, Scotty Mcreery, is not as cute as past runnerup David Archuleta who staged more successful shows here.”

Wow, after a magical weekend, so much to share but real life demands beckoned rudely. There is one thing I must say, that it was such a pleasure to meet the beautiful ladies whose voices I’ve come to admire and respect here … so to Angelica, Djafan, SB, Luvie, SweetonDA, and others (I must apologize to those whose names I’ve forgotten as I was somewhat nervous and starstruck at meeting our fearless admins, lol), a heartfelt thank you for making me feel welcome and for organizing such a wonderful welcoming for David. You were all so fabulous! This sounds cheesy but somehow now that I’ve gotten to actually meet fellow fans, even though briefly, I finally feel like I’m part of this big family and not just talking among strangers. It was such a good feeling to watch everyone, sharing, laughing and so spirited in their conversations, that I was very glad to have been there. #80 Bebe, Yes there is a contagious “warmth” that radiates from David’s fans the same way that it naturally flows from David, sort of a symbiotic thermal reaction, mutually benefiting both and everyone around.
SweetonDA … #70; A special thank you for thinking about my daughter. Yes, I had to coax her to come with me since I’m was too chicken to fly by myself. When my niece couldn’t go, I wasn’t sure how this trip would be since my daughter is not a big David fan but thankfully, she did thoroughly enjoy the concert and I’m happy to say that she even shocked me by asking to buy a David T-shirt before the night was over, lol! Yes, gotta start saving for the next concert for sure!
SB; Your bracelet was such a great idea! It was neat to see how unifying it was to show support for David. I must confess, too, that like Dayzee (#46), I was scanning for that bracelet while walking through the airport, hoping that I could spot fellow fans.
I don’t know if anyone has talked about this but it was so funny to see the near stampede of fan’s running to get to the reserved seats, haha! There was a very long line of people waiting outside the gates at least a 100 yards away or so from the stage area. As soon as they let people in, everyone was off running & cutting across the field, not even following the dirt track where the booths were lined up on each side. Gosh, it seemed like a mob of people from kids, tweens, moms, including “middle-aged” women and yep, guys and I’m sure some dads (was that you Cool Dad # 55?), too! Even the vendors were yelling “run” and “there they go”! Can you imagine what security was thinking when they saw this mad rush of people coming towards them? I wish I had thought about recording that scene but hey, I was too busy trying to outrun the guys, haha! Whoa, I can’t believe the things a fangirl does, lol! I was quite lucky to get some good seats (right next to the aisle so I had an unobstructed view of the middle of the stage, woo hoo!, but mental note to get a better camera for next show!) Security put all the wristband group (David fans) to the right of the stage while the left side was for the “others”. I’m fairly sure David knew his fans were on the right because during the show, David pointed to the right side being so loud or something like that (yes, David, you should know that by now! 🙂
There is nothing like being outdoors and hearing David’s voice soar through the night, way above the crowd noise which was surprisingly nonexistent to my ears as all I heard was the sweet resonance of his clear pitch perfect voice, sigh … and for as big and deep as that crowd was, I’d say that was pretty amazing. Oh and let’s not forget the 10 feet (some mentioned 20 feet) chair scooting toward the stage … I don’t know what security was doing (well, of course, they were mesmerized by The Voice, right?) but that was just insane & has got to be a concert first … chair moshing (instigated by our own Djafan, is that right?), lol … #54; SB, I didn’t even know what “moshing” meant, so I confess that I had to look it up! Anyway, it was quite bizarre as somehow an empty chair ended up right in front of me and my daughter with no one claiming it but the whole chair moshing thing was certainly an unforgettable “what the random” moment, haha!
Goodness, it was a special night to remember but this was for certain, the crowd supported and showered David with much love … they shouted, screamed, cheered, some sang and some danced. Like a moth that is attracted to light, it seemed the fans kept creeping in closer to the stage, filling the center aisle and even crowding in from both sides of the stage that the MC had to caution the crowd to back away. Well, we know how magnetizing David is … can you imagine what that looked like from the skydiver’s vantage point as they were landing? Well, this is all that my tired brain can come up with for now and I didn’t even get a chance to talk about what he sang, oh well … good night for now! (Gosh, sorry this is so long!)
Annie; #90 … Just saw your update on Jacob … so good to hear that he is improving; continued prayers for his complete recovery. Looking foward to your recap!

“I ecorded the video and took the audio from my camcorder which Donna used with my external mic. It’s really good audio. David coughed some during the performance and I do think he may have had
allergies or something going on, but he still sounded great and I love his introduction to this song, not all of which I got. Enjoy.”

Only David can bring a bunch of women together to share the love. I have a feeling some real friendships were born. Silverfox I have to tell you – I was really scared that you and Sandy Beaches were going to miss the beginning of David. It was very brave and generous to place each bag so carefully into the big bag and driving around and around to order flowers, arrange them then pick them up so close to show time. Thank you both for letting me tag along. Love you muchly!

That was an experience I won’t soon forget! I thought waiting to pick up the flowers an hour before D-Time was a great idea so the flowers would be fresh & beautiful. Then getting lost when SB & I left the venue to pick up the flowers, I thought THIS WAS A STUPID IDEA!
But luck was with us. We found the store, picked up the bouquets & found our way back in time! And even though it was unfortunate we weren’t allowed to present the Bag filled to overflowing with gifts & many, many cards & letters or the flowers personally to David, SB & I made sure they were delivered to David by a very nice Security Guard. SB will say more about this I’m sure. The important thing is we know he did receive the Bag, flowers & the edible bouquet as Jeff confirmed to us after the concert.
I must say now that other than seeing David, the other highlight of the weekend was seeing Pattirae who looked fantastic, incredible and just beautiful. Patti is an inspiration and like David, she was absolutely GLOWING!
Waiting for the recaps from the expert writers of The Voice, Angelica, SandyBeaches & Djafan.

This is a time when I just sit back savor all the videos and anticipate what is yet to come. I read every little word from those that attended like they are new words in the English language.
My most heartfelt appreciation to all those, who each in their own way contributed to making this concert so special, whether they were attending or holding down the home fort –it’s hard to list everything
that was done to make everyone feel included in the magic and fun.
And the best part —there’s even more to come!!! So my advice to you re-cap writers is to drop everything–and immediately ( if not sooner) go to your computers and start spilling every little detail you can think of and I mean EVERYTHING. No excuses–short of being on your death bed. 😉
I am caught on this roller coaster between ♪♪♪ ” My country tis of theeeee–sweet and of liberteeee” ♪♪♪ and ♫♫♫ ” Gloooria ….Deyoooo ♫♫♫ —It’s all I ever think about!! What did I ever do to deserve this?

Thanks abs–that pic’s just to good to be stashed away somewhere.
Just a couple of observations from a video watcher ( probably way different live)–Thought I picked up on David maybe not feeling the best– maybe allergies or a cold–he didn’t seem as lively–movement wise ( he usually sets a land speed record from one side of the stage to the other.) With a few throw your back out of joint moves tossed in.
And he never ceases to amaze me–who knew there were more stanzas to the NA–much less sing them! The NA is hard enough to sing to begin with— and has been messed up by more than one seasoned artist. But not David–trying to sing different words to the melody of the Star Spangled Banner–to me would be like trying to pat your head and rub circles on your stomach at the same time–your average person ( including moi) would get so confused they’d end up singing it to the melody of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. 🙄
He’s just somethin else!!!! ( love exclamation points too Bebe)
