This was a really good show! We had seats front row center so that made it really special. I thought Gordon sounded better than I'd heard him in quite some time. I came to the conclusion that the times when I've seen him at the beginning of a tour, he's much fresher & it makes a big difference! The concert was sold out & it was an appreciative crowd.
I'd not seen Gordon use nasal spray on stage so that was interesting He commented, as it was Super Tuesday in the US, that our current political elections were "very entertaining" (only if you're not a US citizen) & Rick commented that they were able to get over the wall into the US. All in all, we had a great time & I think they did too! Sorry you couldn't have all been there!
