They could be patient but they can hardly wait. As cliché as the last sentence sounds as it refers to "Put My Hands On You," that's how many concert goers felt on the day of Jun. 4 when uprising R&B singer Dean held his first ever New York City show.
As fans gathered at the Copacabana on W. 47th and 8th with the forecasts stating thunderstorms, attendees were let in early while VIP ticketholders were able to wait inside too for their meet and greet.
Once the clock struck six o'clock, the VIP room roared of screams as Dean's team came out and introduced the 23-year-old singer up to the front of the room. In a matter 20-30 minutes, a room of at least 200 fans zipped through the hi-touch and picture-taking with the singer and emptied out the room.
However, as the meet and greeters were exiting the VIP room, the general admission ticketholders were heading out to the door. It was then that word spread that the venue has changed within an hour of the show's initial start due to sound and technical difficulties.
From the Copacabana to Chelsea's Flash Factory, fans flocked together (with some even running) 20 blocks down in the pouring rain, waiting for the love of Dean.
