Saw him at the 5:30 show. I figured he do an ok show... but it was much better than I expected. Good solid show.
The voice is still there and his talk between songs was amusing and interesting. When he mentioned he was going to do a medley I thought "oh no... here's where he does 5 hits in 2 minutes." But he did the complete songs and did 'em well. Pet Clark did the "medley" thing at a Miami Beach concert in 1974 and I'm still mad.
No "audience sing-a-longs" or wild "interpretations" of his hits. Excellent.
If he returned next year I'm sure he could sell out 4 shows.
