The end, and the beginning.

“Cook heats up BOK Center” to close the tour.

Cook was a fixture on Tulsa’s music scene before auditioning for “American Idol,” playing shows and tending bar at clubs such as the Blank Slate, Rehab Lounge and the Gray Snail. Saturday’s gig was a bit bigger — a packed venue of screaming fans at the new downtown arena.

Any Cook fans who didn’t catch Saturday’s show can take comfort: He’ll be back.

“I’m really stoked about coming back to Tulsa for my solo tour,” Cook said in a pre-concert interview.
“I’ve spent the last year singing everyone else’s songs, so now I really want to do my own music.”

But first, he had to finish the “Idols Live” tour, much to the delight of those who turned out to hear Cook’s guitar-shredding versions of “Hello” and “My Hero.”

His thunderous voice resonated through the venue as he threw guitar picks to fans, thanked his family and friends in the audience and threw himself into the arms of fans while singing.
