In Your Hands: Mountain View, CA June 1

Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 10:45 PM

It was such a heartfelt show in Mountain View with so many great moments. The crowd was as much a part of the show as the folks on stage, and the Sugarpeeps we did pull on stage had so much going on! Everyone had a joke or a story.

From the minute we started playing "Stuck Like Glue," the crowd was on their feet and they didn't stop all night long. Jessica from San Jose did a great job dancing to "Everyday America." When Jennifer complimented her on her legs, she asked the crowd what they thought and received a HUGE round of applause. Jennifer took time to thank the crowd for being part of the show and for being so into the music and that set off an even MORE cheering.

Then Jennifer asked the crowd if they liked surprises, "I don't like surprises, but Kristian does. I'm a Virgo and we don't like anything that has any anticipation!" Mountain View apparently sides with Kristian when it comes to surprises. And the surprise? Kristian gave his guitar to someone in the crowd!

The signs were outrageous! Amazing colors and clever slogans. Jennifer laughed when she saw a huge sign reading "We're zoo keepers. Sh*t happens!" Kristian and Jennifer chose a fan whose sign mentioned his had just graduated from Santa Clara. Jennifer asked him what his major was and he said "computer science." "You better remember this guy's face," Jennifer joked, "He'll be tapping into all your stuff. . .credit cards, phone numbers!" She also mentioned that it was a smart crowd because that's what you get in a computer city.

Lindsey Tipton was the Sing with Sugarland winner for the night from radio station KRTY. She was dressed in a fun ruffled dress and cowboy boots and sang most of the song herself. When she finished, her boyfriend handed her flowers. Jennifer said, "You didn't get me flowers!" and he got really embarrassed. Jennifer asked him if the two of them were thinking about getting hitched. And he said they were, but not right now. "Okay," Jennifer said, "I'll pass that along to the leading lady!"

What a great night! It seems like each concert is even better than the last and we can't wait to see what happens at the next stop. We were smiling all night long, Mountain View! We can't wait to see you again – and Lindsey, we will be expecting a wedding invitation!

    This was my first country concert experience and I am truly a convert!! I had a fantastic time and was blown away by Jennifer's amazing voice! I have listened to the CD almost nonstop since the show. But truly the best part was seeing the smile it brought to my best friend's face.

    My 6 yr old daughter had so much fun at the June 1st Shoreline concert! The best part of our night was when my daughter walked up to the stage while they were performing...she handed Jennifer her little pink cowgirl hat....and being the sweet heart that she is, Jennifer kneeled down and signed the hat for her. We will never forget that. IF ANYONE HAS VIDEO OF IT PLEASE SHARE :)

    Lindsey was amazing! Loved hearing her sing Baby Girl, and I could tell Jennifer was digging the heck out of it, just enjoying listening and not singing much herself. Jennifer also sang Stay with more emotion than I've ever seen her before, live or on video. It was just amazing -- even Kristian stared at her in disbelief and mouthed "Wow" at one point. Can't wait to get my photo from the meet and greet!

  1. The latest episode of the 'In Your Hands Rewind' series is here, and of course we saved the machine for last. Watch Sugarland perform a LIVE version of 'Incredible Machine' from our 2012 "In Your Hands" tour.

     

    Buy the complete album of 'Incredible Machine' here.

     

  2. Take another look into the 2012 "In Your Hands" Tour with our very own Kristian Bush. In this video Kristian performs a special rendition of Bruce Springsteen's 'Atlantic City' by putting his own Sugarland spin on the classic song.

     

    'Atlantic City' has been covered by great acts such as The Band, Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, and Counting Crows. At the Sugarland shows, this one is always a crowd favorite, always a highlight of the night and simultaneously one of Kristian's most beloved moments on stage each and every show. Watch the video below and find out why! 

     

  3. It's a new year and a new day! With everything changing, the only place to go is onwards and upwards. In Kristian's words below he resolves to "dream bigger."

     

    Find out what other plans are in store for Kristian in 2013 in his New Year's Resolutions after the jump!

     

  4. The Holidays really are Jennifer & Kristian's favorite time of the year, and we want to share their well wishes with you in the video below!

     

    Here's to hoping we all were on Santa's nice list, and that the year 2013 is filled with more joy, love and laughter than the ones before. Happy Holidays!

     

  5. Last week we brought you one step closer to being onstage, and today we're taking you by the hand and showing you what it's like to be backstage before the show even begins.

     

    Travel back in time with us to the 'In Your Hands' show in Atlanta, GA and watch as Jennifer, Kristian and ABC's Duets' John Glosson practice the fan favorite and one of the highest requested singles of the tour - 'Stay'.
