amazing! same set list primarily as on his FB page from Berkely. The orchestra was outstanding (music arranged by John Metcalfe and conducted by Ben Foster). His daughter was singing back up (he never introduced her, but... it was her). You could tell it was only the second show of the tour, they had a few mixing issues but got it fixed by the third song. And of course you can't be unmoved by Biko or Solsbury Hill no matter what instrumentation is used.

My fav song of the evening "Rhythm of the Heat". Boy in the Bubble was pretty good, but I think P. Simon is an AMAZING songwriter. The graphics worked well once the sun went down. He still can wail up a storm!!!! Blood of Eden was in my head as I walked out. Not a big fan of the closing tune... he should change that one up.

all in all worth the price of the ticket.
 
It really was a great show. While I'd prefer to see him with his extraordinary band, it was wonderful to see this show and the different interpretations of so many great songs backed by a full orchestra. In a strange way, it was a very intimate show, which you might not expect with a 46 piece orchestra playing. Rhythm of the Heat, Biko and Solsbury Hill were definite standouts.

Believe it or not, we actually passed up a chance to see him play this summer in Houston. Outdoor seating, and we're too old to spend hours in the heat and humidity. I can't believe I just admitted that out loud. {#Eek}

 
too bad. its an awesome show, and I hear GREAT things about that theater in the woodlands.... but I do understand about the "heat and humidity". I only escaped houston 5 years ago..

Review, please! I skipped buying tix for the Berkeley show because it seemed cringeworthy to see him drag out the oldies with an orchestra. Levin/Fast/et al were a big part of the reason that I love his early work.

The sun has dispersed the cloud cover a bit, things are warming up a bit. Hopefully we will see the moon while up on the hill watching PG tonight!!!

It's not bad. It's just gloomy as all hell. There is a track on Ovo that sounds pretty similar to these.. give us a sec.. I'll find out which one.

It certainly sounds like he is terminally ill which I seriously hope is not the case. This sounds kind of like his version of R. Strauss' Four Last Songs
