PAOIL

HDbahn,
I see we’ve been to some of the same shows: Longwood, Potowatomi, and of course Munhall. Sorry we didn’t visit a little. Were you in row three to our right?
Bruce is growing on my daughter. I took wife and 4 children to Chautaqua a few years ago for my first show. I was amazed — they were bored. The gulf has grown wider since…except for daughter #2. I gave her Levitate; she got hooked on Low Country and she had a great time at Munhall. I may finally have a touring partner.

Moyes brought a significantly different feel to several of the songs. I spoke to Wayne Pooley and he described it as “softer” drum work. The change was fun–it seemed Bruce and Moyes had a good time with it too.
I thought Bruce and the band came out with a roar starting with the rockin version of White Wheeled Limousine, and they never took their foot off the accelerator. The dulcimer version of Valley Road connected with everyone. My daughter usually likes the studio versions better, but she was all smiles starting with WWL.
I was at Munhall 2 years ago and thought that was the best Bruce show I’d ever seen. (Really appreciate the download version.) But at Munhall 2011 Bruce and the band were so creative, and Moyes brought enough of a new perspective, that I had an even better time than in 2009. I hope Bruce makes the recording available.
I had seats third row, right in front of Bruce. As always Brucce had some great interaction with the audience. The gentleman in front of me asked Bruce what songs he doesn’t like to play. Bruce’s answer: Every Little Kiss. I gave several shouts for King of the Hill, but not to be.
Great night.
