MYX (Philippines music channel) interviews David Cook and airs the Light On Making Of that Cook already posted a few months ago.

It wasn’t that we weren’t ready for season 8 of American Idol to start, but on premiere night, we couldn’t pass up one last look back at season 7. And so, instead of being glued to our TV at 8:00 p.m., we watched David Cook wow a crowd of several hundred diehard fans — live! — on the Jimmy Kimmel Live outdoor stage, in what was undoubtedly a stroke of booking genius. Perhaps you caught some of the performance on Tuesday night’s show? Well, let us fill you in on what you didn’t see.

Cook played a five-song mini-set that kicked off with his debut single, “Light On,” and included a rousing version of “Kiss on My Neck,” a bonus track offered with his self-titled album, as well as one very ambitious cover of Fleetwood Mac’s 1987 hit “Little Lies” (see full set list lifted from Cook’s guitar tech below). There was lots of sing-along going on, as the audience took over the chorus on “Declaration” and handled the breakdown in “Light On” with aplomb, which made for a cheery Cook and a confident, now super-tight band. Band members Neal Tiemann, Andy Skib, Joey Clement and Kyle Peek brought the rock, but it was Idol worship all the way. The proof was in the signage: “David Cook Is My Guitar Hero,” “I heart DC” and “Marry Me, David,” among other homemade banners held high by teens and cougars alike, some of whom had been waiting out in the L.A. heat all day in hopes of scoring a front row spot.

But we’ve got some good news for fans aching for their own live dose of Cook: He’s heading out on a college tour starting Feb. 13. Following a performance to open the American Idol Experience at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando on Feb. 12, Cook will hit the road for a month’s worth of dates, starting in Tallahassee, Fla.. The full tour routing should be announced this week, Cook told us after the show.
