David Duchovny concert Vancouver

Because I have several asks about the concert and if I agree with the bad review of his concert which came out.

The location: the imperial itself was a fine venue and perfect the concert. Where the venue was located is another topic.As one person said: getting through the local wildlife to be there is another thing. This part of the city isn’t one I felt completely save to walk around.

The Meet&Greet: I have been to a meet and greet before in Paris and Vancouver couldn’t even get close to that experience. The Vancouver meet and greet for 95% of the people was basically hi: what’s your name? How are you? -Picture- I hope you enjoy the concert! Bye

I don’t blame David for that but Brad because squeezing in around 100ppl in a short time is nuts. I heard several ppl who were quite underwhelmed by the meet and greet experience and I have to say they are right. Paying 150$ for basically 1minute is ridiculous. Further no singing or anything else was allowed.

So basically Brad is milking the meet and greet and I doubt he cares much about Davids fans as long as the cash flies in.

David still was sweet and smiling. And for the ones bold enough to ask he signed some Bucky books.

The concert: it started 30minutes late for what reason I have no idea. David came on stage performed new, old and cover songs. Heroes was one of my favorite this evening.

But I have to admit that this concert wasn’t one of his best in my opinion. He seemed tired and the energy wasn’t there. He didn’t interact with the audience as much as we are used to. A reason for that could have been that he couldn’t come as close as normally because of the hallway between the stage and the audience. The hallway was for the camera stuff to walk up and down and film for the documentary DVD. He clung a lot to his mic stand and the dancing was down to a minimum. For people who have seen his before Vancouver the difference was visible.

Still the experience of the concert was great because I got to share it with an awesome bunch of people. @ccoble and @xfile-cabinetx thank you for all the laughs and fun @kateyes224 it’s always awesome to spent time with you and sing along @mangokiwitropicalswirl I’m not afraid of you anymore 😂😉 you are awesome and fun and it was great meeting you! @whatfallsaway &jen thanks for the most memorable walk home and also it was a blast meeting you and chatting till 2am 😂

So all in all you don’t go to a David concert for the exceptional singing. Therefore you have Adele etc.

You go there to meet up with people to share the fun,sing and dance along. You go there and you have a good time because Davids sense of humor is fun his dad-dances moves are entertaining and you will enjoy it because he himself enjoys it too. He is far from perfect but that makes it even better for me, makes it more real and more vulnerable.

@becksndot5 this is spot on!!! Very well said!

David definitely looked tired. The energy was not there, at least compared to the LA show. David sounded good. The boys were great! I loved cozying up to David for the picture. He was adorable, very nice, and the scruff made me tingle.

The best part of the concert and the whole trip was all of the friendships that were solidified. People from around the world find each other and forge bonds through this fandom. At the end of the day, these bonds are all that matters. It’s not about the fandom, or who is dating who, or whether season 11 will be the last. It’s the friendships, love and laughter that mean the most.

@ccoble you are my friend. You are like the little sister I always wanted. I had The best time. I didn’t want it to end. I may have cried a little (a lot) when you boarded that plane. I love you girl!

@whatfallsaway you are beautiful inside and out. I will never forget the laughs we shared. Thank you for showing us the sights. I’m so happy you didn’t have to bail @ccoble and I out of jail. I had so much fun exploring the city and the sights with you. I can never thank you enough for the fun times. Just call us stalkers R us! Say hey to Jen for me. She is crazy funny and the absolute sweetest person for doing what she did. She is so caring.

@becksndot5 you are more than just our Wizard. I really enjoy just hanging out and talking with you. I love hearing about your travels. I will treasure the knowledge and the stories you shared. We had an epic time after the concert. I’m glad we all made it back safely. Be careful when you hang out at the park. Watch out for that creepy person 😉

@kateyes224 and @mangokiwitropicalswirl you both are so gorgeous and funny and two of the sweetest people I have ever met. Thank you for the fun and the laughter.

I met so many other wonderful people and had the time of my life. It was worth every penny and every blister. I cannot wait until we can meet up again.
