I was fortunate enough to see the Harrisburg show on
the 19th, and the Ram's head show on the 23rd, and all
I can say is what a difference! Todd was much more
relaxed, and seemed like he was enjoying the show as
much as I was. A few minor mistakes were made, but so
what. I was lucky enough to be seated in the second
row
of tables directly in front of OH, and it seemed like
he was playing in my own house.
One of the highlights were "The Wheel" that seemed
to have been provoked by a table of fans that
fashioned
pin wheels from glowsticks, and proceeded to hand a
few
of them out to other fans up front. Another was a
seemingly effortless piano performance, and my
favorite
part was the acoustic "A Dream Goes On Forever",
ending
with Todd cooly tossing his jacket over his shoulder,
and walking of stage, while Jessie continued playing
as
OH made his way back to his dressing room.
One of the down points were a few people who felt
their conversations took priority over Todd's playing,
even though everyone else was being very quiet. I felt
this was very rude, and an insult to TR and everyone
else. This may be OK in a bar, but not in a dinner
theater setting!
All in all the Ram's Head show was one of the best
I've seen, and I hope he comes around again soon,
hopefully with a full band instead of "The Box".
