And I must admit, for a 62 year old he rocked it! The wife and girls from her work wanted to go and needed a DD. So I was it. I did feel rather old myself, not the usual crowd. Mostly the 40-65 year olds there (41 here) from what I saw. He played several songs off his new album and they were damn good. Plus they had one of the better sound systems I have heard at a concert in many years.

If you get a chance, I highly recommend seeing him live! Where else can ya go and see 50+ year olds flashing their bags?
