Here’s a little more . . .
He introduced Caroline No as being written by another songwriter that he has great admiration for – Brian Wilson. Again, the orchestra added such depth to this song. He did the falsetto and he nailed it. I love the drum portion of this song too. He just kind of closes his eyes and goes with it – like he was truly enjoying that song in that moment.
I think the band intros came next – Will Hollis, Scott Crago, Percussion guy (forgive me I can’t remember his name) and Danny Grenier – who was phenomenal. He’s got a kind of mellow, laid-back vibe, but man can he play.
Glenn gave a special shout out to Michael Thompson and Richard Davis for their participation and contribution in producing After Hours. Glenn said that he found in working with them that the journey was the reward.
The Look Of Love came next and I remember thinking how well suited Glenn’s voice is for this song. He mentioned that they changed the key from the Dusty Springfield version.
I think this was where he compared the evening to the first time he played the Augusta National Golf Course. After 6 holes he realized "man, this is going too fast". I guess since this was about midpoint in the concert, he felt that the evening was also going by too fast. He then gave special shout outs in recognition and thanks to family and friends who were in attendance – Robert Rove?, Alex Gibney (mentioned the history of the Eagles dvd again) Phil Galston, Chris Berman (sportscaster), engineer Elliot Scheiner, Irving Azoff, his daughter Taylor and the “love of my life for the last 22 years” his wife, Cindy. He said something about how women would say to his wife how nice it must be for her to have Glenn singing to her around the house all the time. He jokingly said – Ah, yeah. I don’t do that.
Then they played a bluesey/country-ish version of Worried Minds.
He talked about his song writing partner Jack Tempchin as an intro to The One You Love which he played with the orchestra and it was breathtaking. Really fabulous.
