I thought that the venue
was...well, the word "hypocritical" comes to mind, among
others. I recall too well the lyrics to "All There Is,"
and I found it unbelievable that I was hearing Dan at the TRUMP Taj
Mahal. With all the great places to play in New Jersey (including
Waterloo, where he has performed before) I thought the Taj was an
awful choice. Unfortunately, it was the closest to where I live. We
even splurged on a room for the night, so as not to detract from the
enjoyment of the concert. I loved his first set, and I'm grateful
that he is more than willing to play the old favorites that we have
all come to hear. He was, as always, masterful and poetic on his solo
acoustic pieces. But I personally didn't care for the up-tempo ("rockin")
selections. I think Dan has written a number of great rock songs,
and I just wish he had performed them! And I hated the covers. During
one number it seemed that Dan was reading the chords off a sheet taped
to the floor. Why on earth would I want to hear a George Harrison
cover when I could hear more of Dan's own incredible work! But he
is still the best, and I will line up to see him again on the next
tour. ~ J
Murtha Dan Fogelberg sounded fabulous and really seemed to enjoy himself on stage. His group, all talented artists in their own right, were excellent. It was nice seeing Joe Vitale whose music I've enjoyed from his Joe Walsh days - "The Smoker You Drink the Player You Get". My only disappointment was the third set when most of the songs were not Fogelberg compositions. I would have much more enjoyed hearing the man's songs whom I came to see rather than Muddy Waters, Joe Walsh or George Harrison's songs - regardless of the talented musicians performing them. Dan Fogelberg gave each tune his twist but still . . . All in all, I have to say that the concert was satisfying and quite enjoyable. I am a bit disturbed, however, that it's Dan's 30th Anniversary tour! Boy, am I old!!! ~ Bill Rodgers (Holland, PA) |
