I'd love to know what the return insult from the stage was! In this case, good for Don!

Great review. I would love to hear him sing My Thanksgiving as well.

"Pleasant and Predictable"? Is that reviewer kidding? The show sounds like anything but. How about moody, atmospheric, heartfelt, rocking...I could go on....
At least this sentence was phrased well:
"Bolstered by an eight-piece band that slickly transitioned from easygoing supper-club jazz to melodic rock, Henley did most of his roaming near the start of the show, beginning with "I Put a Spell on You," in which his voice sandpapered the lyrics."
Personally, I adore the way Don's voice "sandpapers" lyrics.
And unlike Dreamer, I love the fact that he added some new songs to his set list. I love his hits but fortunately we can listen to them at any time. As the reviewer bluntly put it, a "checklist of career highlights" is good, but the addition of new songs, interpreted as only Don can, sounds great to me. In fact, I would love a show made up almost entirely of covers. To hear the unique way that he would interpret standards would be heaven to me.
I envy everyone who got to hear him sing "My Thanksgiving" live; I adore that song. And I also wonder what he said to the heckler.
My thoughts are with all of you who are lucky enough to see him this time. I am with you in spirit!
