Phineas & Ferb Duet in Top 10
Concerts Draw Capacity Crowds
While the Timeless Tour concert played to capacity crowds in New England this weekend, the Clay Aiken-Chaka Khan Phineas and Ferb duet, "I Believe We Can," marched into the Top 10 songs at iTunes.
Disney XD’s premiere of Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You, which ranked in the channel’s top three telecasts of the year in total viewers with 1.32 million, posted triple-digit percentage gains over last year's numbers, marking a 196% gain in viewers.
After Thursday's knock-out show at Caesars Windsor's Coliseum, the Timeless entourage (Clay, Ruben, Quiana Parler, Casey Thompson, and band) thrilled crowds in Chautauqua, NY, (Chautauqua Institution Amphitheater) and Mashantucket, CT (MGM Grand Foxwoods).
True to form, the multi-generational audiences are running an even split gender-wise and represent longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Deborah Gibson Tweets Applause
Following the Foxwoods concert, singer-songwriter Deborah Gibson tweeted to her followers:
This show is brilliant! OMG! If you haven't seen Clay and Ruben, RUN; do not walk!
The Broadway star also posed with Clay and Ruben backstage. Below are clickables of her twitpics, as well as two Foxwoods photos by Cotton:
More of the same is expected for Sunday's 7 pm performance at the American Music Theatre in Lancaster, PA. At noon, the box office reported the show was less than 50 tickets from a sell-out.
Show-Stoppers Fill Timeless Concert
It's difficult to pinpoint peaks in the Timeless Tour show because there are so many. Without a doubt, the nightly revival in which Clay is healed of his so-called "lack-of-rhythmitis" is one. "Footloose" from the 80s Medley received an encore tag at Friday's Chautauqua, NY, show.
Shot by Scarlett, the video clack below is from Thursday's Windsor, Ontario concert. Incoporated in the 80s medley are Eye Of the Tiger, Rhythm Of the Night, Glory Of Love, Shout, Africa, Can't Fight This Feeling, Through the Fire, All Night Long, If This Is It, Alone, Caribbean Queen, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us, and Footloose.
Casey, Clay, and Quiana sing 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.'

Due to a mic with a mind of its own, what is already a very entertaining skit becomes downright hilarious after Clay is 'healed' of his affliction. For many fans, the Windsor rendition has been declared the funniest of the entire Timeless Tour to date.
A mic with a mind of its own added to Windsor revival fun.

I agree with Deborah Gibson. This show is brilliant. It's a good time all around with great singing and hilarious banter. I wish this tour wasn't almost over.
My great-niece Livia and Great nephew Parker saw Phineas and Ferb. Before I told them not to watch itLOL. Everytime I tell them and Stori they know it about Clay
I'm so glad everyone is having so much fun at the concerts. I've been loving all the clack and reports. Thanks for sharing everyone!
Great blog Caro....I loved the collage made by fountaindawg for Parker...great job.
Loved watching the video's. I only got to see the show once in Snoqualmie and it was wonderful.
Hugs,

To paraphrase an Idol wannabe:
Mike down yo pants,

LOLOL
This is late but what a happy blog!
F-dawgie's birthday card for Parker both looked great and had a great message as well. Hope he had a wonderful day!
I've been so behind on all the news so it was good to hear about "I Believe We Can" being in the Top 10 songs at iTunes and that Debbie Gibson tweeted excitedly about the Foxwoods show!
Thanks for featuring the 80's medley and The Revival clips from Windsor. Hope you like the ones from Chautauqua and the upcoming ones from Lancaster.
Have a great day!!!
What a great blog! Clay and Ruben are wonderful together. They should have their own show! They are having so much fun - the whole band is having a ball! What a fun concert! I must have watched the mike down the pants clip 100 times and I laugh till I cry every time! Priceless!
Phineas and Ferb was really cute! I loved the song and Clay's character in the skit.
Great job on the clickable birthday card for Parker, Fountaindawg!
I've watched quite a few of the concert videos, but never saw the one where the Mike fell down clay's pants. That was hilarious. Thanks to you, I didn't miss it. Lois
Hello,
Thank you for your comments about this blog entry. Thnx to Scarlett and all the CA fandom's "clack goddesses," the show reaches far more than those at the venues.
Have a wonderful final leg of the tour!
Caro
