An old, dear friend attended the concert with me who has never seen Todd before. She actually was mainly interested in seeing Joe Jackson and to get a kick out of watching me freak out over Todd (and I didn't disappoint!). About the only Todd songs she knew were (of course) "Hello It's Me" and "I Saw The Light". She was so impressed that now she wants me to turn her on to all of Todd's music. She actually enjoyed his part of the show better than her "fave" Joe! We both agreed that WMGGW was indescribably amazing. Todd, Joe and Ethel together reached what we dubbed a musical "climax" that was one of those rare special moments in live performance when everyone is in synch and connecting musically and emotionally with the audience. That song brought the entire house to its feet and had Joe looking around in stunned amazement like, "what just happened?" He must be so happy to be doing this tour and discovering what an amazing performer Todd is!
Thank you SO much Todd, Joe and Ethel - you blew us away!
