Great show as always.


We had seats in the 25th row on the floor.
That worked out pretty well for me. My wife and daughter: not so much.
They couldn't see very well. I don't think we'll do floor seats ever again unless we're in the first couple of rows. So, yeah, never again...
I will also try to avoid concerts in Copps. The audio is not the greatest and I haven't had a good sound experience there since SRV and Joe Cocker in the 80s.


The camera I gave my wife for Christmas last year did a pretty good job - even in my hands. (Nikon CoolPixS6400)








The whole bunch o' pics are here.

The concert was great. Lots of fun. They always entertain while delivering virtuoso chops all around.
How they do it at their age is beyond me. Sure there are older rockers, but these guys are technically amazing and they continue to push themselves to get better all while re-crafting their sound with each new release.


They all seemed a little grumpy until the encore when they opened up a bit and were more playful on stage and seemed to interact more with the crowd.
It was like they were worried about something and then got great news during the break before they came back out.
It made me wonder if this might be their last big tour. Not that they can't do it anymore but more like they are smart enough and grounded enough to know that they should go be "retired" while they can still enjoy it.
I don't see them ceasing to create music. I just think the touring thing has to change.
 
Great pictures. I saw them on the Time Machine tour and it was quite a spectacle, one of the best shows I've been to.
