Also, my son and I saw him last night in concert and it’s was quite a memorable and great show. Saw him in Philadelphia at the opening night at The Met, and the venue was fantastic. Had spotlights outside the venue. Some notes:
1)!Cry a While” was apparently set to Link Wray’s “Rumble.
2) A GREAT highlight was a cool version of “Scarlett Town” with the kid singing it standing up holding the mic all kinds of cool ways and every once in a while holding a pose of just standing there in his silver suit striking this certain cool pose he kept doing consisting of standing there with one hand on his hip. Coolness!
3)DID take awhile to figure out what songs he was doing- because he revamped them a lot! I forget what song it was to, but I really thought he placed it to the music of “Cold Irons Bound.”
4) He played no guitar but was at the piano. He sometimes stood up getting into it. Man, he can really play the piano! It was turned up, and he can really play!
5) Another highlight was “Like a Rolling Stone”: at some points the band just seemed to drop out and he sang lines in almost a sad way. It was beautiful and I won’t forget it.
6) Biggest highlight for me was “Blowin in the Wind” Tears were welling up. The arrangement was stunningly beautiful including a violin
7)!Early Roman Kings” was awesome
8)?Setlist:
