Pamela Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 How many people on this board went to the HOB show in Chicago in March of 05? I had the most extraordinary stroke of luck and wound up attending that concert. From the reviews you all have been giving of his more recent dates, I think this show may well be one of the BEST shows he's ever done as a solo artist. I never thought he would play the songs in concert that got played that night. What an OUTSTANDING concert that was!!! Just curious. It was his Styx Lost Treasures concert....and it rocked!

I was there. And while it was a good concert, from where we were, the sound was rather muddied. I could have lived without Unfinished Song (though it was done for Chuck Lofrano...and how wonderful that with his health situation he was there to see it). Loved Best Thing and Borrowed Time. The show was great, the crowd was into it, but it wouldn't land in my top 3 concert faves from him. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybugking Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 HOB Chicago is definitely my top fave, so far. (Sorry Liz) I think because it was such a rocking good time and the songs mentioned being included. Borrowed Time shuffle was awesome and I am so sorry he dropped it from the setlists after that night. Best Thing was terrific and I wish he would put that one back in his set. It totally rocks. The orchestra show I liked the best was the one he did at the Beacon in NY with the New York Pops. Wow. He was completely on fire for that one. Some others I have seen have had great moments (I mean. Come ON! The moonrise over the lake. The fireworks starting. Just as Come Sail Away was concluding at Festa in Milwaukee. THAT was a concert moment!) A lot have been a blast because of the great people I have met and who are my friends to this day. I really don't think I would have enjoyed any of those concerts without that element also included.

Well I know you loved it...I mean come on...Dennis nearly stepped on your hand. But for those of us in the middle of the floor, seriously the sound was extremely muddied. I think having the sound man off to the side contributed to this, though I understand the logistics of it. Personal favorite for me...Chicago Theater show (where the double live was created and we got a snippet of Pontius Pilate and the absolute best version he has done of Summertime...wish that had made the cut for the double live). Festa with the moon over the water was great. Milwaukee and the excitement of being the first set of fans to get the double live...along with scary lady trying to get backstage...oh that's right...you were backstage and missed her...LOL. And let's not forget our adventures just getting to that concert. Because...there was no stop sign right???? LOL. There are so many concerts of his I have had the great fortune to go to. Each had moments I loved. Here's to him continuing for as long as he wants. Liz The Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
