How was it? > I did post, so your web must not have been webby enough at the time. The concert was wonderful, and very moving at times. The new arrangements bring out different facets of the songs. A few have taken a more wistful turn, like "I Talk to the Wind", "From the Beginning", and "Lucky Man", largely thanks to Keith, who has added new piano melodies to the former, and lengthy piano intros to the latter two. If you poke around on YouTube, there are clips from various shows on the tour. You can find most, if not all, of the setlist amongst them. I put a review and some pictures up here: http://www.toneandgroove.com/live/live.html As for meeting the guys, I had no trouble at all talking to Greg (finally got a good look at his tattoo and asked him about it), but with Keith, especially sitting shoulder to shoulder with him on the tour bus couch (!), I was pretty dumbstruck. I really very rarely get starstruck, but it was just way too huge a moment. I had been going to ask him a couple of things but they just completely flew out of my mind. Didn't help that when I walked up the steps into the bus (and none of us had expected the M&G to take place on the bus) and turned, I found myself directly face to face with him. That was more than a little startling. Very warm, pleasant, down-to-earth guys, both of them. Keith's the quiet type, but Greg loves to tell stories and I think would be happy to go on doing so all night. I had Greg sign my ticket and Keith sign my Piano Concerto No.1 sheet music book, have several very nice photos with them, made some new friends at the show, and sure never expected the individualized time and attention we got at the M&G. Keith Emerson -- best handshake ever. Period. (And he called me "sweetheart"). Jen ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V9 #103 *******************************
