It was a breezey, warm night. I was with 2 friends who weren't all that farmiliar with Dan but were up for spending the night in Portsmouth and just having fun. I told them," this isn't just a concert it's a spiritual experience." I have seen Dan now 10 times over the years and that has always been my feeling. He opened with "Magic Every Moment", there's a miracle each day. I loved it! My friend Dennis said "when I heard the first song I knew I would love it all." Dan played mostly songs I've heard before, but he really connected with the audience. He really seemed to be having fun and we had a riot. The encores were great and for the last song of the night "If I Needed Someone" (a tribute to the late George Harrison) some people had left but for those of us still there we were all standing up and many were dancing! I was! It was so fun! I hadn't had the opportunity to see Dan for 8 yrs. (I didn't know he was touring, no computer) This night helped to make up for it. "The Reach", particularly touched my friends hearts as they go to Maine every summer and it has always been one of my favorite songs. All in all it was a most "wonderful night". I hope everyone had as much fun as we did. ~ Laura (Richmond VA)

The last time I saw Dan in concert was in Philly, PA in 1981, the Innocent Age concert...I was 18 and loved everything about the concert. I am now 39 and saw Dan in Portsmouth and am still in love with his music. He ROCKED in more ways then one and my husband and I really enjoyed the concert. I think he was at top performace...regardless of the huskier tones. Dan you will always be the best in my book! ~ Julie from VA

The Harbor Pavillion is our beautiful new venue right on the Chesapeake Bay. (Dan said that watching the sailboats from his hotel room was "like being in prison.") Where's the Minstrel when you need her? :)

The evening was perfect...clear, cool skies...outdoor amphitheatre...and Dan Fogelberg. (Folks, it doesn't get much better than this!)

Dan put on a masterful two-hour show! He blended the old with the new (borrowed and blues, too!) The highlight by far was his flawless performance of "To The Morning". Dan said it was his "gift to the fans for 30 years of support!" His vocals on this song were amazing...clear, soaring. He's still got it! Another favorite was "Same Old Lang Syne". Dan's bluesy variation was astounding...the crowd LOVED it! They jumped to their feet afterwards (the first of several times...the others being "To The Morning" and "Leader of the Band.") Dan's vocals are huskier than when I last heard him live in 1988. Years of cigarettes, he admits, have taken their toll. Some of the higher register was strained in places, but we fans don't care. We love him unconditionally! In fact, I think the blues and Dan are perfect for each other. His vocal quality is sexy, growling, and gravelly. I loved hearing the raw, gutsy emotion. The boy can SANG!! ~ Lesley Hamer (Williamsburg, Virginia/DanFan since 1977)
