At the Seattle show a few weeks ago it was a pretty good mix of boomers, Gen Xers, and millennials. Even some teens. The crowd was a much more diverse mix of fans than I would have assumed at first. Everybody I saw was super into the show - not just the well known stuff. Brian may have been having an off night, but the enthusiasm was definitely there in the crowd.

One interesting part was when someone from the back of the room shouted loudly "We love you Brian!", to which Brian responded with a "Thank You." He then gave a strong performance on Heroes and Villains, which seemed to be his best vocals of the night. Little Bird was not to bad either.

I was at that show as well. That was a really great moment that you called out.  I didn’t see Brian respond from my vantage point so it’s heartening to hear that he reacted. Brian definitely seemed to be struggling and that was sad to see - often looking very uncomfortable. He opened strong and closed strong but everything in between was at times rough. Al seemed to be picking up a lot of slack. That said, as always his band was incredible, Blondie was amazing and really picked up the energy mid-show with multiple extended guitar solos, and Al sounded great as well.

The Zombies also blew me away. They sounded so good and hearing them perform Odyssey and Oracle so flawlessly was something to behold.

In all it was an unforgettable show and while I wish Brian had been having a better night, it was still an experience I’ll hold dear.
