It’s time for my recap of the Nick Jonas and the Administration tour with Diane Birch. Next week will be part five of my special editions, as I’m going to see Honor Society and Timbaland tomorrow night. I know, I know. I go to too many concerts. It’s okay, my roommate goes to too many hockey/baseball games.

We begin with the first show on January 12. I arrived at about six, doors opened 45 minutes later. I jumped in the front of the line with Catherine, who had been there for hours, kid. Seriously. We waited and hung out, chatted with the girls around us and whatnot, and we were let in on time since it was so cold. The Orpheum is certainly efficient. I went to my seat: section orchestra right center row C (second row). I couldn’t see the drummer, though, which is a bummer since he’s wicked cool.

At about 7 I went to the merch table and met up with Amelia, Sarah and Catherine for a photo of us with our Who I Am posters. I also met with one of my brother’s friends briefly since she was there. After the show I met up with my friend Laura (who I go to EVERY show with) and this kid I graduated with. I also awkwardly saw Taylor on the T post-show. Haha!

The mom next to me was less than happy. She just hated the screaming coming from the two obnoxious girls to my right (Yo, girls. We all know that you weren’t in your correct seats). Papa Jonas sat in the soundbooth five seats and an aisle over from me with Maya. He kept air-guitaring and singing along. Very cute.

Diane is really talented. She did a lot of sitting and playing the piano and not a whole lot of performing, which made for a boring first half of the show. Laura and I texted back and forth a lot. Laura really wanted Nick to come on, she was over Diane really quickly. I think she needs a keyboardist so she can get up and sing and interact more. She can play piano other times during the show. It would make for more entertainment.

Her guitarist, Alex, was hot, though.

There was a short break, then Nick came on. Initially, I wasn’t sure he could pull off the frontman thing. He seemed stiff and awkward at the Grammy Nominations, but he really has improved. That boy has come out of his shell. He does a lot of “Yes, I know that I’m gorgeous” and smirking at the audience. I love it.

I can’t remember much of what he played because I don’t know song names, but I remember him playing “Rose Garden,” “State of Emergency,” “Conspiracy Theory,” “Olive and an Arrow,” “Vesper’s Goodbye,” “Last Time Around” and “Stronger.” He also sang Jonas songs like “Tonight,” “When You Look Me In The Eyes,” “Inseparable,” and “Black Keys/A Little Bit Longer.” He covered Owl City’s “Fireflies” and Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.” He did a medley of Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” and Demi Lovato’s “Catch Me” and his duet with Miley, “Before The Storm.” During his combo of ALBL and “Black Keys” he gave a speech about how 2010 will be the year of no fear, and how he thanks his fans for believing in him. Cute.

He also sang “Stay.” That song is a baby-making song. It’s soulful, passionate, and sexy as all hell. That song will be he end of me, I swear. It’s so calculated the way he plays it. Shirt starts off on, and ends up on the floor. Yum.

Encore was “Who I Am.” Definitely the crowd-pleaser along with “Stay.”

Nick was surprisingly funny during the show. He read a joke from the book, warning us that it and he weren’t very funny, but to laugh anyway. “What kind of car does Dracula drive? A Blood Mobile!” Crickets chirp. Some fake laughs were heard. He threw the book to the side and called it useless. No kidding. He started talking to and about the fans. He said that he could see us all in the crowd and did a girl voice. He explained that he invites friends to his show, and he asks them if they liked it afterwards. They tell him they had fun and he said, “Oh yeah, well I could see you standing like this,” and then he posed and pretended to be bored with his arms across his chest.

Direct quote: “You guys are giving New York a run for their money.”

No big deal. New York is inferior to Boston.

Second show on January 13 was just as, if not more, incredible. I got there at about 6 again and waited in line with Laura and Alexa. I also made sure to see Sandy, Catherine, Kay, Hannah. I also met Rachel. It was so good to meet them. We went in fairly on time. I saw the girls from the Honor Society show that live near my cousins, they were in front of us in line. While in line, we were allowed inside briefly to purchase merchandise. I got the red baseball tee. Love it. I pre-ordered the CD the night before.

I went inside with Kara and got to my seat. It was in the center Balcony, row G. I was about five rows back, not including mezzanine. Surprisingly good visuals, but the sound didn’t travel well up to us. Sandy was sitting near me, and Brittany Nicole was next to Kara. I couldn’t see very well, though, because the girl in front of me was very tall. I moved back a row, and I could see better.

Again, Diane was less than exciting. Travis from We The Kings came out to sing with her, which was really random, but really wonderful. He’s incredible. Unfortunately, it was a repeat of the night before in all other aspects. We were ready for Nick very quickly.

Nick came out and sang all the same songs except he did NOT sing “Vesper’s Goodbye” or “When You Look Me In The Eyes.” He replaced that one with “Hello Beautiful” and added “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus. He also covered Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” and Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel.” Yes, Nick. You really turned me on.

He skipped the jokes this time, instead opting for Nick Jonas trivia. We knew his birthday and favorite color (September 16, Blue) but not his wireless plan. I knew it was Verizon, since I have Verizon and it rocks. He decided that since not everyone knew, he won the game. He didn’t win.

I did.

After the show I met up with my friend Laura C. and Jamie. We walked back to the train with them. The band was in a white creeper van on the way back to wherever they were staying, and the girls ATTACKED the bus. It was extremely frightening. Crazy girls. Jeez. I was worried someone was going to get hit.

Anyway. Two awesome shows. Two different shows. I’m glad I went two nights in a row.

The videos I took can be found on my YOUTUBE. Enjoy!
