Shit, I'd go if he were playing a date anywhere near me!

[md655321]

Might have to make the trip out to Baltimore. No New York or Philly show?

Thats a small venue in Detroit (4000ish.) The man could easily sell out Ford Field (60,000?) for a week straight.

[Man with the Golden Arm]

Have not called in for tix in years... used to sleep out all night back in the day, but-

Phoned the Maine TicketMaster # (figured them bumpkins are too busy snowmobiling on the lake or lining up for yet another allenlowe gig to be bothered) this morn for the Boston date and got an order in at 10:01. By the time I was giving the info the service rep told me it was sold out.

I even got great seats!!!

phewww, that anniversary gift is out of the way!

A BIG THANK YEEWWW CHEW!

[Lazaro Vega]

Anyone get into the Chicago concert? Looking forward to hearing him tonight in Detroit. LV

[Lazaro Vega]

Very similiar set list to last night's concert. His voice is in great shape. Hearing him "at home" was incredible as family and friends showed up in droves to hear him.

[Aggie87]

Not a bad setlist, except for "I Just Called to say I Love You". That song is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me, still!

[Man with the Golden Arm]

That's a great set list. Two hours plus is how it should be.

Thought I'd post again a shot I made from the last time I saw him.

[Lazaro Vega]

The set list in Detroit went deep. "My Cherie Amour." About the only thing he didn't sing was "Uptight."
