Transcript/Tanglewood
August 2, 2003
These
remarks are mostly from my video; however, since the video
did not catch his ending remarks, other sources have been
used (other folk had mini video cams) to complete the entire
event. If anyone can identify any of the Grobies who asked
the questions, I would be glad to insert their name(s) in
the appropriate spot. Hope you enjoy! Yours in Josh,
Josh arrives in golf cart with Brian & David, two HUGE
security guys AND a Deputy Sheriff with a gun!!! YIKES!
Lisa: If everyone can take your seat
please. Everyone please take your seat.
(Grobie cheers)
Josh arrives at podium, hug & kiss for Lisa.
Lisa: Everybody, Josh Groban (crap, Lisa
got to introduce JOSH GROBAN, can you believe it?)
Josh: (from the podium) For the people, by
the people . . .
Josh: What a terrifying, terrifying,
wonderful night! (wipes forehead) This is overwhelming, this
is just, I mean, I love you guys. The love that is pouring
out of you guys right now . . . this is insane, this is so
great, I canﾕt believe it. I read the piece in
iBerkshires.com, and it is so beautifully written, by the
way,
Lisa: That would be me. . .(Grobanites are
all motioning in Lisaﾕs direction)
Josh: (looks at Lisa) Yes, I know -- I know
who Iﾕm hugging! (back to the gang in general) I was telling
someone else at the rehearsal today, it just so beautifully
captures what is so special about you guys and what you guys
are able to do and what you guys have done for me and for
everyone. (Brian hands Josh a bottle of water) -- wawa, but
um it has truly, truly been such an honor and privilege to
be finally here at this event I hope to be back someday, and
you guys are great. .. . thank you guys for coming -- when
you throw a party -- you throw a party! Unbelievable! And I
have a funny feeling that there hasnﾕt just been water been
flowing in this tent this evening. . .
Judy: How do you like Massachusetts, isnﾕt
it great?
Josh: Massachusetts is New England.
Massachusetts is wonderful ﾐ among other places.
Grobie: Josh, nice haircut!
Josh: Thank you. It was a little long a
little while agoﾉ and so I got it cut. Iﾕve been traveling a
lot ﾐ did you say nice shave? (laughing) Thereﾕs a story. .
. some of you like it?
Grobie: Excuse me, Josh? Um, I love
you!
Josh: I love you. Thank you, thank you ﾐ
anybody else?
(Grobie cheers)
Josh: Waitﾉ I have to explain a shave. I
landed here justﾑGrizzly Adamsﾑjust complete unkept
Grobies: We like that to. . .
Josh: . . . just completely unkempt. No.
Not appropriate for Tanglewood. No. ﾉand um, I have an
electric raiser that I use. You know, Iﾕm a 2-year old, I
canﾕt shave with a big man razor soﾉ
Grobie: So do I-- itﾕs OK.
Josh: Good. But Iﾕm learning it ﾐ today and
yesterday, I shaved like a big boy. Down with the grain.
Brian Avnet . . .
Mary: Hi Brian.
Brian: First of all, you donﾕt know how
overwhelming it is for us to see you all here and what you
mean to us. As you know we try to keep track of youﾉ
(notice Josh looking down? This is where 4-year old, Robyn
McCabe, ran up and hugged his left leg; and then Lisa
introduces Josh to her other children and Josh shakes their
hands.)
Grobie: We love you Brian.
Brian: But to have your support and to know
you guys were going to be here, it meant the world to us. I
want to bring up David Romano to say something . . .
David: Thereﾕs just one thing I want to ask
you, how did you like Love Affair?
(Grobie cheers) (Josh raises his eyebrows, kinda rolls his
eyes)
David: I think he needs to record that.
(Josh laughs)
(Grobies cheer)
Josh: (in a squeaky voice) thank you David
. . .
David: Support!
Josh: Yes, Support!
Chris: Josh, how was the beach? You wrote
you were at the beach on Fatherﾕs Day
Josh: Oh I was. The beach was beautiful.
The beach was just beautiful. Itﾕs getting to that point now
ﾐ we stayed at this really kinda cool resort there weﾕd
never been to before, it was kinda chi-chi. We were there
with the whole family. And it was like every time I called
down like to get laundry or order some cereal or
something--, ﾒwhen are you performingﾓ (Josh looks sheepish)
[Conversation missed here we cannot pick up]
Judy: Are we all invited to the open house
at your new penthouse?
Josh: (pantomimes counting) I donﾕt think we could fit.

here. (Grobie cheers) (motions to right half of tent) And
this half the next night.
Grobie: Competition!
Josh: Yes
Grobie: Howﾕs Mom & Dad?

heart broken they couldnﾕt be here tonight, but . . . no, no

day, all night long, so itﾕs nice to take this breakﾉ
Grobies: Awwwww,
Josh: I know (laughs) Awwwﾉ Can you see the
sweat? Iﾕm tiredﾉIﾕm tiredﾉ
Kay: We appreciate it though Josh.
Josh: Good! No believe me itﾕs quite
apparent now that the energy in this tent is the energy of
the entire audience tonight.
(Grobies cheer, Josh laughs)
Josh: Does that say Winona on it?
(A vase of roses on the podium stage gets knocked over and
everyone picks them up. Thatﾕs me you hear saying, ﾒitﾕs OK,
donﾕt worry about itﾓ)
Grobie: Josh? Would you like a preview?
Josh: Yes? Would I like preview? Of? Oh, of
the New Amsterdam Theatre. Oh, I took a tour for Chess! I

few notes of Anthem) (shakes his finger) Itﾕs got a great
song called Anthem that I really enjoy singing. My December,

gesture and shouting out ﾒLinkin Park!ﾓ He imitates the hand
gesture and repeats ﾒLinkin Park!ﾓ) Anywayﾉ(smiles)ﾉYes?
Brem: Iﾕve got a picture of you when you
were 10 years old.

Brem heads back to the audience)

him.)
Casey: I admire your singing. I love
singing and I hope to be as good as you when I grow up.

Lisa: I want prints people!
(Josh and Casey hold the pose-- Lisaﾕs twin boys, Terry
& Brian, put bunny ears behind Joshﾕs head -- when he
realizes what theyﾕre doing, he leans down into their
handsﾑso freakinﾕ sweet).
(Josh exhanges a couple words with Lisa and her kids and
returns to the mic. His attention is taken by someone to his
right.)
Josh: Oh yeah, Hi Reilly. (Josh talks off
camera and comes back) So the marriage to Reilly at thirty
for her is set.
(Josh & Brian hold up Robyn for a picture.)
Josh: Thereﾕs a squiggly face on her leg!

temporary tattoo ﾐ by me!) (Brian, Robyn and Josh pose with
Josh pointing to the tattoo. As they finish, Robyn lays her
head on Joshﾕs shoulder.)

on everywhere. He points this out on severalﾉ)
