Your last concert was to see who and when?

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?

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.

Wow! Thanks!

He's coming to my area soon. I had put it off because of my concern...his voice would not be enjoyable. 

You put that to rest.

Thank You!

Oops, Paul Simon's band also had a sax player too. Apologies. (This is a sax player in addition to his guitar player that also plays the bari sax, the picolo and probably other stuff I've forgotten.)

It was either Chris Isaak, or Gordon Lightfoot. I think I’m done running to concerts. The ticket prices, parking, not to mention the late hours, are just too much to navigate. Now, I just watch them on Blu-ray listening through Stax headphones, and remember how much fun it used to be. Even the musicians are calling it a day, so I guess I’m not alone.
