Still killing it. One of the greatest places on the planet to see a show.
He's always amazing, but this was one of my favorite performances. The solo set drew from some of the older corners of his catalog, and the Electric Trio is my favorite configuration of any I've seen over the past 25 years. Incredibly talented, joyful and tight. "Can't Win" was amazing.
The setting was beautiful and the artist matched the location! Big RT fan here, one of his best shows I've seen! How about making him a "regular" on the summer concert schedules!
What an absolute joy--solo acoustic set followed by the electric trio, with music drawn from every corner of RT's songbook. Sound was wonderful--I was down in the 7th row for the first set and out on the lawn in the 2nd, and it really sounded great from both places.
I've seen / heard Richard many, many times, and he just keeps getting better. Fantastic performance.
Finally, finishing last encore with a spontaneous, 10-minute thunderstorm was a little flashy, but clever nonetheless.
