@ghosthouse You and I think alike. I kind of was hoping Michael McDonald would show up too. When DB played the songs MM sang lead on, they let the bass player (whose name I didn't catch) sing in a few places. Um, MM sang them much much better. His voice is easy to pick out. I always hear him like a bell in Christopher Cross' first album. And I could listen to MM sing just about anything.

@astewart8944 Yup, McDonald’s got one of the most distinctive voices. A pleasure to hear. I’ll have to pull out that Chris Cross album. Have not listened to it in ages. Did not recall MM sang on it. You are hopefully familiar with Fagen’s NY Rock & Soul Revue? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Hie67Y_Jc I guess we could continue here as a Michael McDonald appreciation thread, but that would be even further afield from the OP’s intent. Apologies to them! ;-) Have a great day. |
I saw Paul Simon on his "Homeward Bound" Farewell Tour last night (06.01.18) at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. Highly recommended. His voice is in really good shape (he is 76 years old, I think). He played 2 plus hours. He engaged with the crowd and was funny and gracious. He had an 12 piece band with him (two violinists, a clarinet player, a trumpet player, two guitarists, a bass guitarist, a drum kit player and and another percussionist, an accordion player, a flute player, a cello player, and a pianist/keyboard.) No backup singers other than the instrumentalists (they sang well). I highly recommend this show. The set list is below.
