Re: Viking Hall - Bristol, Tennessee
Great stuff! Terrific pictures too! I imagine they were all glad to head home after such a long tour. It's exhausting just thinking about it. They are real troopers..
Early Morning Rain is the sub for either The Wreck or CRT if he dosn't plan on doing both. I'm glad you got to hear CRT and he did it so well. Some nights he struggles thru parts.
The second half seems short - 10 songs only then 1 encore..
I find it amazing that so many fans can get pics without camera police jumping all over them. I can't recall a place where I've seen him and it's been allowed. Especially in the front or first few rows.
In Buffalo I was in the first row, took a snap of the empty stage before the show and some little camera cop almost had a coronary. He laid out the rules that the performer doen't want pics taken. I told him that was the halls rules not Lightfoot's. Some people further back took pics throughout but I didn't.
About five minutes before the 2nd half started he made a big deal about coming over and telling me and Dan that he had just talked with Mr. Lightfoot and that yes, it was okay to take some pictures. I said I would take some backstage when I saw him.
I don't use a flash for still pics or take very many, usually waiting until the last couple of songs.
Love the ripple thru the audience as they 'got' the joke..it's the same with all audiences..it's funnier than the joke..lol
