Saw the show last night in Concord. It was fabulous. I really went to see Lyle and his large band, but I have to say that Bonnie was incredible. She is absolutely at the top of her game and loving life. I couldn't stop smiling. Her new band, as was said previously, is top notch. I wish that her recordings could convey that kind of energy...I'd listen to them a lot more. But, I guess that's why we go to concerts, huh? According to Bonnie, this was their 90th show of the tour. They showed no signs of fatigue and were definitely NOT going through the motions as is so often the case.
Initially, I balked at the relatively high ticket price of $55 ($72 with the "convenience fees"), but considering the caliber of musicians and the outstanding performance, it was well worth it. I still can't understand how Lyle is able to afford to tour with an 18 piece band.
There were also a couple of guest appearances, including Roy Rogers who was in town and played on a tune that he co-wrote with Bonnie.
If you're in California or Nevada, it's not too late to catch the show. Don't miss this one.
