It
was quite a lively show and as always he was in great voice. The only
bad part about the show was the length. But then he could play for
twelve hours straight and that wouldn't seem like enough. I was annoyed
with the people behind me because they were talking the whole time.
I finally shushed them but not before one of the men said to another
"gee, this is gonna be some wild rock concert. You think he knows
any Joe Walsh." So obvious these men were not fans and knew nothing
about Dan or his musical range.
Needless to say, the sarcastic shushees were on their feet after Dan
played "Rocky
Mountain Way"!!! Also, every time he plays "Same Old Lang
Syne", he adjusts it and fine tunes it and adds more and more
depth to that song. He should re-release a live version of that one....Anyway
it was a magical night and it was good to see him having such a good
time after thirty years of touring!!! ~ CLE
It was so great
seeing Dan again in New York. His voice was smooth, and the music
wonderful. The band was spectacular, and the mix showed Dan's versatility
- I loved the blues! I hope not to have to wait another two years
to see him back here again, and I would love even more to see him
in a larger venue! ~ Debbie

Dan's Westbury,
NY, show surprised even his most commited fans. Is there no end to
this man's talent? Vastly differing from his last Westbury appearance
during which he played solo and acoustic, he brought along a four
piece band consisting of the most experienced and talented musicians.
After a short solo of his most familiar works, Dan showcased the musicians
in his band. Taking on the guitar part formerly played by Joe Walsh,
Dan amazed his fans with his guitar work on "Rocky Mountain Way,"
paying homage to composer and drummer Joe Vitale. He dueted with Mark
Andes on an old Firefall tune, and wowed the audience when he and
"the lads" broke into the blues. We couldn't get enough!
His voice sounded terrific and, as always, we enjoyed his laconic
wit as he bantered with the brazen NY audience (Michael was musical
director for Donna Summer--"Oh, maybe this is not the same crowd!")
New and old stuff sounded flawless, as usual. A wonderful show and
his NY fans ate it up. ~ Elmann
Enjoyed
seeing Dan in a more intimate setting. His band was great and his
voice was as beautiful as ever. We enjoyed hearing some great vintage
music as well as some Firefall songs. Can't wait to see him again.
Thanks for coming back to the east coast again Dan. We love you. ~
