Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, 34 years is a long time but after having kids and living in Wyoming at least a 3 hour drive from anyplace he played, weeknight concerts became impossible and the others just never worked out. I first saw him in Red Rocks in 1975-beautiful setting and sound but kind of an aborted show. Somebody apparently threw something on stage and Gordon cut the concert short. Fortunately he came back to Fort Collins the next year and put on a tremendous show. As for the favorite song-that would be harder than naming my favorite beer and I couldn't do that either, though "The Last Time I saw her Face" at Red Rocks was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. The Trilogy is definitely a favorite, and since last Saturday I've played Shadows about 30 times.
