Sounds like a gorgeous theater!
Tuacahn Amphitheater
The Tuacahn Amphitheater is a 1920-seat open-air amphitheater. It consists of three sections of s
eating (Left, Right,
Center) with 32 rows A (front) – FF (rear). All seats have backs and arms, but are not cushioned. Entrance to the amphitheater is from the rear, requiring all patrons to descend the stairs toward their seats. Patrons with limited mobility are encouraged to sit near the top (rear) of the amphitheater. There is extra leg room on row O which is sometimes used during the productions when actors walk through the audience. Wheelchair accessible seating is available on the back row (FF) only. The stage has a concrete subfloor with a concrete pass-under tunnel to get from stage left to stage right out of view of the audience. The rear of the stage is open to expose the desertscape and red rock cliffs behind the stage which contains lighting, sound, pyrotechnical, and water effects installations. The area behind the stage is a mixture of natural stone and naturally colored concrete. This concrete riverbed was installed during initial construction to facilitate a massive 55,000 gallon flood of water that comes from the back of the canyon and across the stage toward the audience. Though conceptualized and custom-built for the “Utah!” production, this special effect and other water effects have been featured in numerous productions at Tuacahn.
I’ll be heading out Friday morning to Saint George. I’m not a natural video taker lol but I’ll scope things out and see what’s doable :))) I’m su
per excited and this week is taking for ever!!! Through the kindness of others I will be taking several grandkids who had wanted to attend and now are. David fans are incredible. Thank you.
Gladys is also on her way to the states to see David Archuleta in concert for the first time! I can’t wait to meet her and others, and those I haven’t seen in some time. It’s going to be great!
The Fan Luncheon information, thanks to Kalei! Wear your favorite David attire!

The time is drawing nigh!!!! I’m sooo excited for this weekend!! But at the same time, I’m feeling somewhat selfish because of the fact that I’ve been able to attend so many ‘David’ events in the last little while and there are so many others that are still waiting for that chance. I sure hope that next year brings that opportunity to all of you. ♥♥ It better!!
I understand this venue is amazing!! I’ve never been to anything at it, so my maiden attraction there will be a David concert…. can’t think of a better way to introduce myself to Tuacahn! 🙂

Tawna,
Please don’t feel selfish or guilty for attending multiple David events. If we could, most of us would be doing the same. For fans like me who’ve never had a chance to see him live … recaps, pictures, and videos from fans like you are what keep our fandom alive for us. If not for you and others who share, where would we be? Would we even still be here? So please, Go! Enjoy! 🙂 and come back and tell us all about how wonderful it was, every little detail you can remember. I love hearing all about it! Oh, and I want lots of details, from all of you who are going, about how his voice sounded in the open air amphitheater, ok? 🙂

We will appreciate anything! coolest thing that waterfall feature! wonder if the waterfall will be on? (of course with D onstage I’m sure no one would notice, haha)
Gladys welcome back to the USA you will soon be here in a gorgeous part of the country.!
This one will be so much fun for the fan get together, as well as the MAIN♥ event ! Ya’ll make lots of noise for all of us who can’t be there in that beautiful place, and have a wonderful time!! I can’t even imagine his voice echoing through that place.
Maybe he will even throw in a yodel? haha;)

Is there any way to find out where “the Voice-concert-goers” are sitting tonight? I would love to meet them! My daughter and I were able to get tickets for last night (100% blown away!) and tonight. I would love to put some faces to the names I see here so often!
My fourteen-year-old, stingy with praise and a bit skeptical about seeing David, enthusiastically said to me as we were leaving Tuacahn last night: “That was almost a life-changing experience!” And, “His voice is absolutely incredible!” She kept repeating that there was something so powerful about seeing him live compared to his recordings. At one point in the concert, she turned to me and said, “I think I’m in love!” She was actually one of the first of the crowd to get on her feet and dance! I told her about the tickets tonight and said she didn’t need to go…haha, no way was she going to let anyone else have them!
I’m sure you will hear from many how truly amazing the night was–his voice gave me chills over and over again, and he seemed to pour every bit of himself into every song, even to the point that I was sure his voice would eventually give out!…but the thing that really took me by surprise was how absolutely comfortable he seemed in his own skin and how effortlessly he took command of the stage (and of course, his voice!).

I want to know if Gladys is still alive. I get the feeling Djafan barely made it. And this is the first time Gladys has seen DA live and “unplugged”.
(using a new definition of “unplugged” here: unplugged from whatever was holding him back from truly cutting loose.)
(another thought: some peeps have the idea that to truly “cut loose” one must sever themselves from what anchors them. I disagree. check the evidence – take a look at example “DA”)

He really was on fire. A great, great performance.
You know, the venues are simply working off of the ‘old school’ way of thinking and doing things. I don’t know when they will catch up. But it is all changing. And someone who can fill the seats like DA does… someone who we all know is an entirely different “item” when he sings in person than when he records… he has/is a commodity that people will pay to see and hear live – under any circumstances.
Let the venues catch up to that and they will be selling digital tickets to go along with their in-the-seat tickets. It will happen. Has to.
Meantime, you get your sleep!! You are so loved and appreciated.

I’m so glad you had a great time! I’m looking forward to hearing all the details from you, Gladys, Tawna, Dayzee, and Jan. It sounds like it was an amazing experience for all of you. 🙂
A great big thanks to Nance from CT and djhsail for Periscoping on Friday and to Bebe and Abrra for bring links, photos, and pictures here for us both nights. David looked like he was having a ball and sounded great! It was so much fun taking part on Friday!

What a great trip and concerts! I loved the scenery in St. George. Got to meet Gladys and practice my Spanish on her. She was very kind to say I was doing well haha. Actually, SHE did very well understanding English and saying some things. I checked in with her from time to time but DJAfan and Erlindita took good care of her. I am also now a fan of Gracie Schram’s mom, who does her merch table and apparently held up one of the red rock bluffs (in a picture anyway 😉 David was fantastic both nights, as you can tell from the videos. Peeps who are going to the Christmas shows are very lucky! I wonder if Gracie will sing HYAMLC with David? I bet so.

Hello DH!
You did very well! So great to meet you. I spoke to Gladys today and she was going to stay in Vegas the rest of her stay. Monica and Martha took her there on their way back to Cali and spent the day with her.
David fans are the best!

I’m home, but don’t expect anything beyond babbling yet.
However the pic with Alec sobered me. That genuine caring look on David’s face would warm anyone’s heart. Reminds me of how great David is beyond his voice.
Abrra, thank you thank you for Unplugged. I can see those videos and relive the joy of those performances.
At Tuacahn there is a waterfall that begins at the top of the stairway to the seating area. You can see where it begins at #36. It drops down the stairs and all the way through the parking area, ending at that beautiful Tuacahn sign at the entrance. The water has such energy and feeling of renewal it put me in the mood for David’s singing as we trudged our way from the car to our seats. The morning after I went to get a pic of the water, but like David it was gone. No David, no bubbling stream. Reminded me of the empty window in Idaho Falls where David’s picture had been on display all summer.
The luncheon was terrific. So many nice people. And what else would we be doing between shows? Driving each other crazy, right?

Whoo hoo, I am at Dayzee’s, the best host ever! I am getting completely spoiled! 🙂
It is so hard to describe the fun times I have had so far! A double concert, how awesome is that?? Two nights in a row of David was still not enough! 🙂 And in Tuachan! Two beautiful things together!
Friday, 1st concert–Just 6 rows back and the 1st time after 4 years of seeing David, it was a thrill to watch him running out on the stage, waving, showing that big smile of his! I was so grateful that he stayed in music! This is where he belongs! He is back! He commanded that stage and more sure of himself, I think! Love his band too. They really accented his voice and the whole thing sounded more professional than ever! Even though it was cold, we were all bundled up and braved it like good David fans! 🙂 There were heaters on the stage, but David was all over the place, jumping, spinning and dancing that probably kept him warm. He talked between some of the songs, which was endearing…I love to hear him ramble… Beautiful was Beautiful and the duet with Gracie, Don’t Give Up was outstanding! How he keeps holding those glory notes is beyond me! He ended with everyone’s favorite, Crush! His encore songs were Nunca Pense, he said he had to sing something Spanish! And Glorious, which it was!
Saturday..Luncheon…was so much fun meeting the old and the new! Gladys from Argentina, Shanny from Australia, Gwen from FB, Kalai from Hawaii and Shelley that keeps us supplied with good videos! Such great people, David has the best fans ever! Shelly brought photos for everyone and Shanny brought little goodie bags that had some Australia things like kangaroo magnets! 🙂 Good fun and good food!
2nd concert…We sat farther back, but I still couldn’t wait for David to appear with his trademark smile and all that energy that he brings on stage with him! Both concerts, Gracie opened up for him and she is a darling. She is from KC too and I talked to her after the show. She’s a real sweetheart. With it cold, he had us get up and clap and sing with him to help us keep warm. And boy did we! 🙂 That clapping kept my hands warm with out any gloves! It was a real song fest! Same song list, same encore songs, but we still didn’t want it to end! I can listen to that voice 24/7! 🙂
What a Glorious time we had!
Love all the photos and interviews with David. Thanks everyone for posting them!

That radio interview is sooo good. It’s so wonderful to hear David be able to express his true feelings about things in life.
Thank you, Abrra, for bringing Shelley’s audio of EH over here. OMGosh! that song blew me away on Saturday. He didn’t sing it at the Friday show, and I was feeling sorry for my self that I wasn’t going to hear it in the magnificent setting that we were in. 😦 David must have felt my sadness, because it happened! There were some really big speakers, suspended on wires above the stage and seating area, that would bounce his voice back into the canyon and the rock wall and then it would come back to the audience. I just absolutely… do not doubt me… melted into a puddle in my seat. I felt no cold. Shelley’s video caught some of that echo and reverberation. That will definitely be played over and over if I can get Abrra to mp3 it. 🙂 *crosses fingers and offers to do the dishes*
Funny story from the luncheon. In the goody bags from Shanny, she included some little sample packets of Vegamite. She gave us all instructions as to how to use it. She gave a definite warning that it’s really important to spread it very thinly on toast… too much is not a good thing! 🙂 I’ve heard of it, but I have no idea what it is and I haven’t tried it yet. I’m a little skeptical of it. My hubby had it alot when he was a missionary in New Zealand, and never did learn to like it. What a fun time it was on Saturday!

Seeing that picture of David with Alec was so touching. I went on the facebook link Pray4Alec and read about him. He was bike riding and crashed and got a traumatic brain injury. It really hits home for me. My sister’s son, has been a BMXer all his life. He’s even been in the X Games, ramp jumping. Several years ago he had a fall from a skate board and had a traumatic brain injury. He was finally getting his life back somewhat, when a couple of weeks ago he was trail riding and his bike flipped and he landed on his head. He was rushed to the ER and had more bleeding in his brain. His brain is no longer bleeding and he’s out of the hospital, but I doubt if he’ll ever be “right”. We’ve been reading about the brain disease in NFL players called CTE. We think this is what he has, and there is no cure for it, it just gets progressively worse. I pray for Alec and my nephew. I know it does no good to say stay off bikes, skateboards, don’t play football, and other sports that have a danger of concussions. People want to enjoy their lives. It’s just sad that, sometimes these things happen and then your life is screwed up. It’s a fine line we walk, and there’s no good answer.

Lynnella,
Thank you for giving us the info on Alec. I was wondering what his injury was, but didn’t pursue finding out. Best wishes and hopes for a good recovery for him… and… for your nephew. I have grandsons that do, to me, stupid things with bikes and sports. But, like you said, it does no good to say anything about it to them. We just continue to pray for their safety and well-being.
