A.J. Croce was a powerhouse of piano, guitar and vocal talent. He was passionate about putting a good show on for his audience. He is quick witted with warm hearted stories about breaking into the business. I purchased three CDs and have been listening to them everywhere I go now in my car.
I hope he returns to this area again. I and others will wants to see and listen to him again.
We came with the highest of expectations since Jimmy Webb is a revered figure in our home. We left with the very best of feelings about our experience.
It was almost surreal for our group of three avid fans.
The synergy of the evening was palpable because the
total was far greater than the sum of its parts.
The two hours melted into a celebration of greatest about a true icon. The setting was intimate and his ability to communicate the stories about the music were actually better than the music itself.
We had three regrets. There was a overzealous patron behind us who sang along loudly virtually the whole evening, often yelling out comments. The seating was very uncomfortable and oddly, Jimmy chose to play a tune written by Billy Joel and did not sing By The Time I Get To Phoenix. Actually, despite the first two problems, we would have gladly sat another hour.
This was best evening of entertainment I have been to, maybe ever. We were part of real greatness last night and we won’t forget what he did for us.
