I'm thinking it's the casino....they are saving close seats for the high rollers. When I went to get my tickets it took me to best available...wouldn't give me access to C1...so I grabbed the C2 just to be sure I got something. I checked a few minutes later and then there were some seats made available in C1...they were the rows farther back though.

I was there!!! It started raining that night and John left the stage during the performance and came back saying he had to get some different shoes on cuz he was 'gonna bust his ass on that stage".....I'll never forget it! I say that all the time in the winter when I'm walking on ice.
Can't wait can't wait can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

let's just hope it doesn't get any gruffer ''is that a word'' on future albums and he doesn't end up sounding like Dylan.
Have to agree with this....a little 'gruffiness' is good....but not all the time!

"makes his music wash away the dust of my everyday life. When I need something it is always his song. "
Well stated...love it....!
Everytime I hear the song "Killing Me Softly With His Song" (or whatever it's titled) I think of John because that is what his songs do to me...in a good way....they tear at my heart, they bring joy to my soul, they make me FEEL.....washing away the dust....

Will agree with prior posts and chime in here...
Only listened a couple of times so far ....the MUSIC in this album is what struck me at first. WOW! Beautiful!! Truly...something different yet you catch strains of similarity to other songs. Really - I think he's outdown himself on the music part of these songs. Then I listened more to the words, which again were though provoking.
Yea we all wish we could be 'forever young'...this album wasn't really what I expected...I really didn't think I was going to enjoy it because I knew it wasn't going to contain a 'rock' song. But it surprised me....cuz it's different....and as John changes so does his music...which is pretty cool. I'm thinking people who 'only know' who he is aren't gonna get it because they haven't been on his journey like his fans have. Too many people look for another "Hurts So Good" or "Crumblin Down"; and that's not what's happening now. They are missing out on a beautiful, beautiful album. Maybe that's the problem with the reviewers.
IMHO John is a true artist....he explores and tries new things...

Funny story re: obnoxious people.....
A group of four had front row seats at one of John's concerts that I went to. When he was doing his solo bit they were standing at the foot of the stage talking the whole time. In the middle of a song he walked away from the mike over to them and said, "If you want to have a conversation why don't you take it out into the hall."
Go John!
I'll never forget that!!
