Another stunning evening. Even Gordon said they were on a roll. And they were! I was seated next to a guitar player from the Hard Rock in Vegas and he was blown away by the caliber of the musicians' playing and Gordon's singing. Last night I thought it was the energy. Tonight I thought it was a number of fast-paced songs sung in rapid succession, which is sort of the same thing as energy, I guess. The concerts are always tight and well orchestrated, but this time out, there is some extra excitement. And one other thing; I was way down front tonight and noticed that Gordon looks particularly well; refreshed with a happy, upbeat personality. Everybody was happy tonight. One of the reasons I was way down front is that I made a near-fatal mistake in my trip planning. After driving from my home in New Hampshire to Boston to fly to Phoenix, changed planes to Vegas, rented a car, drove across three states to Utah and back again, I just realized today that I had failed to purchase a ticket to tonight's concert. The concert was sold out, even the standing room, and the casino told me there was no hope, although they would take my cell phone number just in case. And then the band turned in four tickets around 4 pm third row center. Saved by the band! That is my definition of being lucky in Las Vegas. Carter sang again tonight, yes on Sundown, they didn't do Triangle, he sang on one other song but I can't remember which one. It's going to be a great fall tour, ambitious, but like Gordon says, they are on a roll.
