I don't want to put down the reverend...
But...I didn't like the the two hired gun dancers, I guess because Al is getting a little old to swing the love music. James Brown used to have his band members drape the cape near the end of concert.
But to leave a third of his hits, and no encore after not playing here in 25 years was not right.
I told the lovely ladies sitting behind me, to go home and play Talking Heads version of 'Take me to the River', and then
play the master's version.
We needed more from his crack horn section, who barely cracked a sweat during the evening.
I hope better from the final season concert, John Hiatt, with Joan Osborne this Sunday.
