I've seen a lot of shows, but for musical excellence, none could touch this one. Everyone on stage was a top tier musician.


Bet that was a fantastic show! I've seen her twice, once with Union Station and the other with Robert Plant. Plant is one of the great vocalists of the ages, but that night on several songs he sang back-up for her. She is an amazing talent.

Another one I remember is Lyle Lovett. I barely knew who he was when I went to that show, but it was amazing. They call the show Lyle Lovett and His Large Band for a reason. There were times when there were 15-20 people on stage.


Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
