Standing Ovation took place after CRT and after ODR. Gordon came out for two curtain calls and bowed to the audience. He seemed to enjoy himself this evening. I was glad I went and enjoyed the concert as always.
Low points...music volume was too low. The audience was drowning out endings and beginnings of some songs.
Gordon had poor mike habits when speaking to the audience. He often spoke off mike to where those of us in the back could not hear him. I purchased my tickets when they first went on sale and still ended up in the back on the lower level. The Taft Theatre needs to rethink their seating strategy.
