I feel it's past time to pay some homage to the excellent group of musicians that are part of the show. They do an excellent job, that's for sure! Unfortunately, I never really saw more than Michael's forehead, since the piano hides him almost completely during the show. Then as they left the stage I was too busy waving at him to take a picture. As well, all the pictures of Scott and Doug (the steel guitar player) didn't turn out well enough to post. All my pics of Richard include Glenn, and I've posted the pics of Will elsewhere.

This is Tom, the man of many instruments:




This is Danny:


This is Wade. There are quite a few pics of him with Glenn posted already.


This is Reggie (taken during the Town Hall show and yes, I realize that's a different thread...)

Your pictures are wonderful VA! Are you one of the people out in the foyer in your first pic?

Glenn sounds like he is getting better and better with each gig!

Those are superb. They just get better & better.

I have no idea whether I will be able to do the same. My camera doesn't have the extraordinary zoom lens that these do & I am not taking my new mobile phone.

Thanks for the band photos.

I am surprised though that there have not been more 'official' reviews of the shows, or more album reviews.

Verna, In this photo it looks like Will has his glasses on - but not in the other photos. Can you remember if he put them on part way through the show? I know he wears glasses, but have never seen him wear them on stage. I assume he usually wears contact lenses.


It's always a bit sad when you come to the last show in your trip, but what a time you've had! You've met lots of Borderers, and seen some truly awesome shows, and now you have all those memories.

Thanks for all the lovely photos you've shared with us, and a special thank you for the beautiful photos of Will.

It's a pity there were empty seats at the shows. I'd love Glenn to bring this show to the UK. We're really suffering the effects of the recession here at the moment though, so he would need to keep ticket prices reasonable.

I am surprised as well. I keep searching, but I haven't found very much. Those that I have found have been positive (except for many of the "comments" posted after the reviews ). People just don't get it.

Steph, I remember seeing him with the glasses on and being surprised. Later I remember them being off. It made me wonder why he'd need glasses sometimes and not all times. If he were reading something, I'd think it might be the lighting (I need reading glasses in low light, even with the mono-vision contacts). He didn't look like he was reading anything, but he plays keyboards and there's a lot of labels on those. I really have no idea, I'm guessing here.

I did get to meet lots of other Borderers and that was great! Even met a few who've never joined but read the site for news and info. But May was a totally awesome month for me, and it's not finished yet. The Eagles concerts in Atlanta seem like months ago, but I still have the Timothy show downtown on Memorial Day, and even the Alan Jackson show tomorrow.

It's not a good zoom! It's called sitting-in-the-first-few-rows. I haven't a prayer of getting good pics at Joe's show here in August. Anyway, Thursday night at Englewood is when I really learned to use the camera, nothing like waiting til the road trip was near the end.

But I was in the front row for the Eagles in December 2010 & I got no big closeups like that. My LA guidebook tells me the sightlines at the Wiltern are good, but let's 'wait & see'.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

OK, I'll give you that. I just bought this camera last fall and the zooms have gotten better as time goes on.

I want to mention to everyone that if last night's show wasn't sold out it was nearly so. Same for Thursday's show in NJ. I know tomorrow's show is nearly sold out. I wish he had more lined up, since he's gained the momentum. Well...OK...that's not really the reason I wish he had more lined up .
