That's what I like about you as a poster.. sometimes because you are "unfiltered"(which I actually enjoy)people think you are rude or confrontational and I have noticed a conscious effort on your part to not be viewed that way....but when I see a post like this...it shows you can still give that "honest" feedback...and although I didn't see EJ...I've seen the greats when they get older...Like Billy Joel...and the smart ones don't try to hit those same notes they did years ago...but as a person commenting on that situation you didn't bash him...like so many music fans do....there was a realization on your part...and I wish more artists would come to this reality and not try to force the musical notes they can't do anymore... I hate seeing a former icon struggle with the music they once dominated...it's kinda sad...Elton John was quite a show last night, he stretched out many tunes. Soloed songs, beautiful stage, great crowd. He seemed a little hoarse, chubbier than before, getting older, couldn't hit some of the previous high notes but didn't try. Glad I was able to see the show.

Marpow is awesome...one of my favorite members!!
I first saw Robin Trower @ Golden Hall in San Diego in May 1975. Local hero Bill Lordan had just taken over the drum chair and they were supporting For Earth Below. Since the release of the previous Bridge of Sighs smash hit album the year before the size of his audience had grown considerably. Now we fast forward to his current day shows; smaller venues once again, yet no less fiery guitar playing. Like the gig down in Chattanooga, TN last year, a great little rock duo named Strange Vine from Fresno, CA opened the show. It was amazing what two men could do; the drummer would also play a Fender Rhodes piano type keyboard with one hand at times while drumming with the rest of his body! The other fellow plays some volcanic slide guitar and they both sing on top of that. They had a CD EP that I bought at this Nashville gig at the Marathon Music venue on March 16th, 2018. Robin Trower's group came out and got the crowd going immediately. They did play some great newer material and of course played the monster hits that were FM radio staples for years. Robin seemed at ease and you could really see him getting into it during some epic soloing. The younger rhythm section ably supported his every move.
