This morning the Brothers attracted the biggest ever audience to Bryant Park for the GMA 2008 Summer Concert Series – approximately 10,000 people! Some people, it is rumored, slept on the sidewalk since Tuesday. The appearance was solid and full of great fun (and music) even though the anchors were all a bit clueless.
They played “Burnin’ Up”, “BB Good”, “Hello Beautiful”, “Pushin’ Me Away” (what do the Boys have against ‘G’s eh?), “SOS”, and “Tonight”. They also were made to answer some very dated questions (but, as we all know, things in the Jonasphere change quickly, so I won’t be too harsh). Then Joe tried to steal the weatherman’s job (the host in the dark suit didn’t seem to appreciate this much – because he knows they are awesome – since there is a good possibility that they could all be fired and replaced with the Jonas family). They also talked about how much they love their parents, and Frankie, and how they stay grounded.They also showed the fans lots of love (as always).
All the performances were great (I enjoyed “Tonight” and “Pushin’” in particular). But I have to say, for a group of people who allegedly slept out for three days the crowd was very blah (especially during the new songs). Joe totally had to do his “wave mothapluckas wave” (2:37 on Pushin”) AND his “jump mothapluckas jump” (2:05 on SOS) moves. Not cool, people. Many seemed to be filming or too aware of the cameras all around. There seemed to be plenty of signs and stuff around, so maybe the best fans just didn’t get a spot near the stage.
My favorite non-music moments included Joe’s weather report and when Chris asked them if there were any bands out there today that they would sleep on the sidewalk for three days to see perform live. They couldn’t think of any. They also gave Joe an early birthday cake and the audience sang him happy birthday.

With Joe’s fabulous hair, he could definitely be a weather man. haha. I love that part of the show. “We have some red and yellow….oh and blue- that’s the water.” Haha, love it.
That cracked me up when they did the weather! I was laughin and my dog was lookin at me like WTH? lol Then I had to run off to the worst internship ever and missed the rest of the boys :/
Aww. “worst” as in the work stinks or the people stink? … or both.
I also thought the crowd was blah. Maybe they were just exhausted from sleeping outside for 3 nights? The guys were wonderful, and they had only got like two hours sleep!
JB totally owned that show, the GMA anchor-stiffs were just taking up space in it! And the performances were great.
cpaig, wasn’t it totally great how much Kevin was in all the live feed stuff? I was in heaven.
OMJ – totally heaven!
I am doing a little bit of catch up at the moment. Since I seriously just cranked out 4 posts (which Mememoi had to edit) so – phew.
Thanks for going on stage and giving me a break Guys!
I was just telling Mememoi today that I think the Kevolution has moved beyond representing a social anomaly to facilitating a true paradigm shift that has been very palpable this week.
(That was all BS BTW, But, you gotta love him!)
BTW -BTW – I actually had to spend 3 hours out of my week discussing that Paradigm stuff. It was just deadly, but it was required – LOL.
Sounds heavy.
But, with regards to our boy Kevin, I think you’re right. Either his fans are growing, or getting more vocal because there has been a definite upswing in demonstrated love recently.
I think it’s because the JB fan-age is slowly creeping upward and more older means more fans who will appreciate him.
The international dates didn’t hurt either, there are any number of impassioned spanish language vids on You Tube from Lantina Kevin fans.
