I hate to offer an opposing opinion on Dan Fogelberg's performance at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion in the Woodlands, Texas - since I have been a huge fan of his since 1972, and have seen him perform live over a dozen times. But, something was not "quite" right - it was either the sound system or Dan was struggling to find a key that worked for him that particular night. In fact many of the fans were looking around at each other in the
audience, wondering what was wrong. (It was almost as if he could not completely clear his throat to sing.) By about the third song, Dan found a range that worked for him, and most of the rest of the night was great (except for the early "noise curfew" and no encore). Dan is a musical genius by any standards, and his guitar talents were sharper
than ever. Even with a bit of a rough start, it was a great show. ~ Bill

My husband took me to the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston, Texas for a Mother's Day gift this year. I enjoyed it immensely (except of course, the woman who sat behind us and screamed "Peoria" and other nonsense early in the concert)! I've been a "Dan Fan" since 1975 when I first heard him in Kansas City. Our oldest son is graduating tonight and I even remember being great with child (this same child), well, about 18 years ago, and going to an acoustic concert in Kansas City. He hasn't lost it yet and hope he never does! My husband is very sweet, knowing how much I love Dan's music, to always buy me tickets (even though I think concert tickets are outrageously expensive and refuse to buy them myself)! I tease him that he's the only man I'll ever leave him for.... We were disappointed that the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion enforced an 11:00 curfew, but other than that, the music was wonderful! ~ Barbara

I saw Dan Wednesday night in Houston. This was the fifth time that I've seen Dan live; amazingly enough, each time the experience is better than the last. With this being the "30th anniversary" tour he played some songs that I hadn't heard live before. It was wonderful. You could tell that Dan and the band were having fun as well. You could really tell who the very serious DF fans were as well, we knew every song he played, a few of the others only knew the songs that had been on the radio. They may have been a little lost, but for me, it was the best. I have always felt that most of Dan's best material were songs that were never on the radio. It's been three years since the last time Dan was here and it was great to see him again. Anytime he's close to Houston or in Houston I make sure I'm there.

Dan, thank you so much for coming to Houston. I love seeing you perform live. Thank you also for the 30 wonderful years of music. The notes, the stories, and your soul, has been a very wonderful thing for you to share with us all of these years. Your first four albums was what I used to teach myself how to play guitar. I'm not a professional, it's a hobby, but it's a hobby that I love and it has gotten through some very tough times in the past. Thanks you again. I do hope to see you in Houston again. ~ Douglas

Well, I have to say it was one of the best shows I've been to in a WHILE! He was fantastic. I am SOoo glad I got the chance to see him perform again. To be honest, even though I'd planned on going, I never bought the tickets, and kept talking myself out of going as the day got nearer. Finally the day of the show ,I was having a horrible day to match the whole week. I felt like after everything that had happened that week I deserved to treat myself and go. Well,I chickened out once I got home from work and decided not to go but my precious daughter insisted that I go, made me even wear the bell bottom jeans I'd bought but never wore! So I half heartedly made my way to the Woodlands and got there only to have to walk for an eternity to get to the gates. Christopher Cross was singing ,"Sailing" as I reached the Pavillion ONLY to find that in order to purchase tickets I had to walk all the way to the OTHER side of the Pavillion. UGH!I was about to just blow it off but pushed myself on. I got to the ticket counter hoping to get a half decent spot on the grass in general seating.The lady said there were still some good seats left so I took one and headed for my seat. Little did I realize I would be sitting SECOND row from the stage!I was shocked to say the least when the usher seated me! Of ALL the times I've gone to see Dan Fogelberg (buying tickets the moment they went on sale) NEVER have I sat so close! I was in heaven! It was SO worth the crappy week! So worth the walk! I loved Chris Cross's show, he was great! But Dan was as beautiful as ever and his music was captivating! I was equally pleased when Mark Andes (Firefall) sang "Strange Way" and Dan on electric. It was such a fantastic show the ONLY thing that was missing was "Stars." I MUST say never has 50 looked SOooo good on a man! He was incredible! Now I'm anxiously awaiting the new CD!

My wife and I both attended Dan's performance in Houston last week and it was just a great show. He had Christopher Cross open and the night was great. Dan appears to be in pretty good shape these days and it is a blessing that we have him around. What a truly gifted musician. ~ Robert
