Thanks for your review Keith. Last week was so hectic that it totally slipped my mind that you were going to this show. Where were you sitting? I didn’t have time to meet before or after the show, but I would have loved to have met you and chatted a bit during the break.
I enjoyed the show as well even though I was a lot later getting there than I planned. It’s a long story and this isn’t all about me so I’ll give the abbreviated version of my trip. My plans to leave work early totally failed so I got off to a much later start than I had hoped. Because of that, when I ran into typical D.C. traffic problems on the way up, I decided to pull off and grab a quick dinner. It was almost 7:30 when I got to the venue. And then, after stopping folks on the street to ask where a parking deck was and three of them told me, I never could find one where they described. In any event, I finally found one about six blocks from the venue that I wasn’t happy about, but, oh well. I parked and made my way to the venue, although I didn’t feel totally safe because the crowd was mostly all inside by then. I got to the box office and got a pretty decent seat – 7th row, 2nd seat from the inner aisle so something was finally going my way. However, I was very disappointed that I missed all of Shawn Colvin's set.
Well, that set up was as abbreviated as I could get, however, I finally took my seat and made it in time for the main event. I agree with Keith, Don was talkative and very engaging. I enjoyed the show although the set list wasn’t exactly my favorite. Honestly, I missed the Eagles songs and thought there were too many covers. But, hey – it was Don so you can’t be too disappointed no matter what he sings. I honestly am pleasantly astonished that he has been able to stay with a 23 – 24 song set list throughout this tour. In all my confusion getting to the venue, I didn’t have any paper to write down the set list, but this looks correct …

Keith, please correct me if you remember differently. In any event, since this was the only show I get to see on this leg, I am glad I went despite the challenges in getting there. If he tours some more next year, I hope Shawn Colvin is with him again so I can see her set. Rock on, Don!
