​“It’s not always about them loving you back. Sometimes it’s just  about them knowing you do.” This quote by Stephen during the concert encapsulates everything he does for his fans. Although he was talking about these lyrics and undoubtedly people in his life, this can also be felt during his concerts. When you are a fan at his show, the entire world feels like it is in that one room. The love, the intensity, the emotion that can be felt through his voice and love for his fans, as well as the fans’ love for him, is so pure.

​The opener, Kings Elliot, is such an amazing pairing to add to the beauty of the show. She has such a gorgeous voice and the fans were all sad to see her go by the end of her set. When it came time for Stephen’s set, he played energizing, amazing classics of his, like “Evangeline”, but we also got some gorgeous unreleased songs, one of those being "Stay”. He also got a bit emotional during the not, not only from the love of his fans, but about his own friend’s love. He played a touching cover of “Unchained Melody” and told an enchanting story of his friend who fell in love while listening to this song on a date with her, and Stephen shed some tears at the end. It was all very heartwarming and there were definitely more than a few people tearing up besides Stephen. Overall it was just a lovely, magical evening that I hope all fans of Stephen’s will get to experience during this tour.
