phish,

I was hoping you would offer your perspective. There is no right or wrong viewpoint. After the numerous postings here over the last few years about his weakened voice, my expectations were extremely low, so it didn't take much to exceed them. I was also in row 2, which probably enhanced the experience. I thought about wandering farther back to check out the sound from a different vantage point, but was just too focused to do so.

I guess I fall into the charlene camp : Lightfoot was there, I was there, and the music was there. Just like seeing an old friend after many years, the physical changes are unnoticed in the blink of an eye, and "the gist of it all" remains.
