This was a really good show! We had seats front row center so that made it really special. I thought Gordon sounded better than I'd heard him in quite some time. I came to the conclusion that the times when I've seen him at the beginning of a tour, he's much fresher & it makes a big difference! The concert was sold out & it was an appreciative crowd.
I'd not seen Gordon use nasal spray on stage so that was interesting:) He commented, as it was Super Tuesday in the US, that our current political elections were "very entertaining" (only if you're not a US citizen) & Rick commented that they were able to get over the wall into the US. All in all, we had a great time & I think they did too! Sorry you couldn't have all been there!
