    Just got back. For those who care, the show was amazing. Glen has the flu but was still at the top of his game. 

    Loud mouthed, drunken douches in the crowd couldn't keep their fucking mouths shut but Glen dealt with them appropriately. 

    He is playing with a full band but no horn section like the last tour we saw. All of them are first rate musicians. 

    In all, great performance by a great band.
    Thanks for the heads up...
    we're seeing Glen in Cincinnati tomorrow night!!
    Have a great time!
    AND...they just cancelled the show due to artist illness.


    Yeah, that sucks, I'm sorry. I know what a bummer that feels like. I got a notice from some maillist I'm on about it, and he cancelled the two shows after Cincy too, on doctor's orders, and is hoping to be back at it on Friday. The message from him also said that he hoped to be back to all 3 cities asap.
    Thanks for the heads up about rescheduling the cancelled shows...
    I'll be on the lookout for the new dates!! 
    Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to quite give you that impression. It wasn't actually said they were being rescheduled. It was more like he feels really bad about it and wants to 'fit them in' somehow when possible, I would assume during his next US tour. But you never know - maybe he will go more out of his way than that to get it done. But actual "rescheduling" wasn't the message. I would post it, but sorry, I forget what maillost it came from and I deleted after reading. :(

    Awesome. Yes, I agree he puts on a top notch show. His is in my top 5 best shows ever (saw him last tour, not this one).

    I saw them together last year at the Beacon. It was a great show. I recommend it.

    It was just  swell season. It was magic after the gig we all went out and sang with glen around a fire. He offered  me a verse in auld triangle and i got shy. I wish to be jaysus i hadn't.  Thats me in green next to glen. He signed stuff and had photo's.  I took one with him and he said no take another  and qe faced into the moon to get light. I will never forget it. I took my 16 year old at the time daughter magical road trip to the dingle peninsula.
