The commute from Maine was so worth it! I knew I couldn't miss Dan this time around and am so glad I didn't. This truly was the best I've ever seen him (even though I've loved each concert before this). The band couldn't have been better. What a combo of talent up on that stage! The compilation of styles and songs were superb. I only have one request . . . Dan, when are you coming back to Maine?? It's been way too long! The Reach is calling . . . ~ Cindy F.

Seeing Dan Fogelberg in concert was a very special treat for me and my wife. We travelled over from Leeds in Yorkshire, England specially for the show. As a fan since 1972, this was a life's ambition fulfilled! I had never seen him live in concert before and never thought that I would. I'm amazed that there are fans who have seen him live 20 times. It goes without saying, we were not disappointed! A superb concert, I only wish I could have bottled the whole evening so that I could open it up to enjoy every week. I thought the balance between the various musical styles was spot on. Songs I particularly enjoyed were "Magic Every Moment", "Changing Horses" (with its long intro), "To the Morning" and "The Reach", one of my all-time favourites. Of course, I loved all the other songs as well. For me, Dan is the most talented singer songwriter anywhere and his music has been an important part of my life. I am so glad to have finally seen him, but I have a funny feeling it won't be the last time. ~ Graham and Berni Smith


The road trip to Oakdale theatre in Wallingford was well worth it.The venue was real nice and of course DF and the band were the greatest.This was the 16th time I've seen Dan and it was a great perfomance by Dan and the band.Dan played the classics and I really enjoyed the cover songs specially Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" some really good guitar playing by Dan. It was a really good crowd and very respectful with no rude hecklers.My favorite song of the show was "To the Morning" I thought the band did a great job. Dan came on for 2 encores, his wife joined Dan on stage for the last song of the evening,"If I Needed someone" by George Harrison.All in all it was fun and I enjoyed every minute of the performance.Thanks DF and the Band. Peace ~ William

I just saw Dan on Sunday night at the Oakdale in Wallingford. This was the 4th time I've seen him and he was fantastic! I never tire of his talent, music, voice, and the way he is so personable with his fans. He just seems like a great guy to hang out with for an evening of drinks and laughs! His band was wonderful as well...great musicianship and harmonies. What was so great about this tour is that he did the good old favorites, went back to some of his greats (which are some of my favorites!) from his early days, and did some serious jammin' with the band on some rock and blues tunes. It was awesome! Dan is one of the most talented writers, singers, and performers out there. I truly enjoyed the show. I've been listening to my Dan CD's ever since the show. ~ Diane K (Ellington, CT)

What an incredibly great show! What huge talent on the stage! The band was fantastic and Dan not only was excellent as usual, but I love the songs they picked for this tour. The acoustic, the band, the blues, the tribute to George Harrison at the end was awesome. I just wish the audience wasn't so laid back. I mean, what, were they 30/40-something or post mortem? Especially when they played Rocky Mountain Way which Joe Vitale co-wrote with Joe Walsh, I was amazed that everyone was not on their feet. Have they forgotten how to rock the way we did in the 70's?! This is the 30th anniversary tour, people, and the band was rocking up there on the stage! There were some truly awesome fans in the theater that rocked along, but for the most part the audience was not even moving in their seats. I'm wondering if the fans in Colorado or Illinois will be more alive. Guess we'll have to check that one out! Come on Oakdale people, get off your butts and rock on! . . . you are getting a bad rep! ~ Donna

Saw Dan in Wallingford Ct with my husband. Both of us have been Dan Fans for many years. I am a transplanted Illinois native; having lived in California and Connecticut since I left Illinois in 1982. Loved Dan's acoustic concerts but have been looking forward to seeing him with a band once again -- hoping to hear some songs he hasn't really done acoustically. Was not disappointed! He opened with the one song I had been wishing to hear, "Magic Every Moment" and it was a snowball from there on. What a musician, what an artist! 30 years worth of memories and feelings brought alive again by the musicians on stage. THANK YOU, Dan, and for those of you who have never seen him live, please make the effort! As always, "Gambler" for the first encore had everyone singing along and swaying to the music. It was the kind of evening I had hoped for and more! ~ Michele L.

My friend & I saw Dan for about the 20th time at Wallingford, CT's Oakdale Theater. He was phenominal. Best I've ever seen. 30 years and still going strong. Thank you Dan for all of your wonderful songs. WE LOVE YOU DAN!!!! ~ Sue L. (Southwick, MA)

How great to see my musical friend of 23 years again with a happy heart. What a treat to see such joyful soul put into his music. This was the first Dan concert in a long time that he seemed to really be enjoying himself. The band was amazing....though the chemistry was slow to start, it evolved as the evening progressed. He opened with Magic Every Moment.....and that defined the evening.... .....at least for me. "There's a miracle each day......." Twenty three years and many a concert later.....the magic lives!! Thanks Dan and may you and you new wife live happily ever after! Hope you enjoyed the Berkshires. Peace ~ Katie R (Trumbull, CT)
