His daughter was singing back up (he never introduced her, but... it was her). You could tell it was only the second show of the tour, they had a few mixing issues but got it fixed by the third song. And of course you can't be unmoved by Biko or Solsbury Hill no matter what instrumentation is used. My fav song of the evening "Rhythm of the Heat". Boy in the Bubble was pretty good, but I think P. Simon is an AMAZING songwriter. The graphics worked well once the sun went down. He still can wail up a storm!!!! Blood of Eden was in my head as I walked out. Not a big fan of the closing tune... he should change that one up. all in all worth the price of the ticket. It really was a great show. While I'd prefer to see him with his extraordinary band, it was wonderful to see this show and the different interpretations of so many great songs backed by a full orchestra. In a strange way, it was a very intimate show, which you might not expect with a 46 piece orchestra playing. Rhythm of the Heat, Biko and Solsbury Hill were definite standouts.

I can't believe I just admitted that out loud. too bad. its an awesome show, and I hear GREAT things about that theater in the woodlands.... but I do understand about the "heat and humidity". I only escaped houston 5 years ago..

It's not bad. It's just gloomy as all hell. There is a track on Ovo that sounds pretty similar to these.. give us a sec.. I'll find out which one.
