The Erie Times News has posted a short review of Clay's Erie, PA concert last night:
Crowd braves winds to hear Aiken
By SARAH WEBER
It would have taken more than a winter storm to keep Sharon Seigworth from surprising her daughters with seats at "American Idol" star Clay Aiken's Tullio Arena concert Sunday night.
Though wind and snow whipped though the city, Seigworth and about 1,700 stubborn concertgoers huddled into the arena by the time the pop star bounced up to the microphone at 7:45 p.m.
Aiken opened the show, which was accompanied by the Erie Philharmonic and pianist Jesse Vargas, with a medley of familiar Christmas tunes. He and backup singer Quiana Parlor received warm applause from the subdued crowd.
Aiken greeted the audience saying, "Thank you so much for braving the weather to be here with us this evening."
Later he joked, "Thanks to the weather, we'll be here all week."
Backup singer Angela Fisher, who was supposed to have accompanied Aiken on stage Sunday, was absent due to a death in her family, Aiken announced.

We drove from Buffalo to Erie PA for this concert. With more determination than brains we slid
all the way through blinding snow.
A drive that should have been 1 hr 45 minutes took over 3 hours. Got there just in time... was worth it all.
Beautiful concert. It made my Christmas! What a gift you are Clay! God bless, and thank you!
