Re: Gordon in North Las Vegas
No, they didn't do Sweet Guinivere. And now I am heading back east to work, will not be back on the scene until January in Florida, so will have to pass the responsibility of identifying Carter's singing numbers to another. Perhaps Dori, who still has 6 wonderful concerts left to attend or her western tour. I remembered one other really memorable scene from last night, the instrumental ending of In My Fashion, when Gordon turned slightly toward Rick and the two had a moment. Gordon was strumming, Rick was doing some technique that probably has a name that I don't know but it involves sliding up and down his strings, their execution was perfect, their eyes met, they acknowledged each other with their body language. Maybe I am projecting, but knowing how they are best friends and road warriors, imagining the hours of practice and performing that goes into mastering these movements, watching them have fun with it in addition to playing with perfection, it adds another dimension. When they are animated on stage and when Gordon approaches the line of relaxation on stage, it really resonates with the audience and they respond in kind. I also noticed that Mike is getting more featured attention and lighting, well deserved. These are subtle things but great and interesting ways to enhance the overall experience.
