A really nice blog review of this show:

It was one of the top concerts that I have ever seen

It's nice to read blogs from people who really appreciate his work. I liked the part about someone wishing he played certain songs, but realized the time constraint. That, and what a nice security guard!

What a great review! Really cool that the security guard was able to give them passes to meet Al. Thanks for sharing that, Helen.

Now that's the size crowd Al deserves at EVERY show! I've never seen him at a fair because, well, he's never played one within several hundred miles of me, but that would be awesome if he drew those types of crowds at all of them.

Yeah, he definitely deserves that.

I've seen that size of crowd at other Al shows than fairs, it just has to be some sort of General Admission setting...especially with this new album Glen Allen, VA really shocked me...which was my first concert on this SOL tour last year...

But, yeah, the places that he plays over here in the East, usually are more intimate and hold less..which reduces the crowd somewhat...
