Subject: [RS] Concerts at the Crossings.

>> So  - can anyone tell  me about this venue? Ever been here? It's a church 
type  building yes? Probably a much smaller and more intimate place to see 
Richard?  <<

Yeah, saw Dave & Tracy there several years ago.  Nice  place, but I wouldn't 
call it intimate.  If I recall correctly, the room  was about the size of the 
big room at the Hurdy Gurdy at the Central Unitarian  Church in  Paramus.

Ah. Speaking of Paramus - yeah - the Hurdy Gurdy. Well - it's not a tiny  
room - but it's a small room as compared to a concert hall. I was in "The  
Concert Hall" in NYC once ( the Society For Ethical Culture room ).  A big  room. 
Kinda  a funny room as I recall. Funny entrance too - but not a bad  place to 
see a show.
 
I was there for a strange "taping" of a radio show - but Rosanne Cash and  
Terre Roche were there so I was happy.
 
I have gotten spoiled. When I see Richard now I like to be 10 or 15 feet  
away. It's a bit silly and unrealistic - but having been that close in the past  
- - you just get spoiled. I really like being close enough that you can see the  
facial expressions of a singer like Richard up close. 
 
And it's fun to watch his guitar playing up close too. ( Not that I'll ever  
really learn anything ).
 
Usually at venues like "crossing concerts" or "outpost at the burbs", if  you 
get there early - you can get a seat up front. I saw "Old School Freight  
Train" 2 weeks ago and I was so close to the mandolin player I had to be careful  
not to bump into him with my foot. ( They are quite an excellent 20-something 
 bluegrassy band - by the way ). 
 
I'll probably go see Richard with Tom Paxton in NYC. More convenient - and  I 
like Paxton. 
 
Anyone have any idea if Richard will have a band with him this time around?  
A band at the big venue shows and 'just Richard' at the small venues?
 
see ya... Bob Paterson

I don't think it's silly.  I don't get to see Richard very often (and now
that I'm in CO instead of CA, it's even worse), but roughly the first 10
times I saw him I took the day off work so I could camp in line to get
the best G.A. seat on stage right.  It was all about the education and a
wee bot o' stalkerism (I'm so happy that spellcheck doesn't like that
word).  And after two years I relaxed into any-seat-is-a-good-seat mode.

Now I'd be happy to drive all the way to KC to see him from the back row.

And still I feel your pain.  I've seen many great shows in Boulder but
not Richard.  =(
