lost_sheep3 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 I can't wait to see this concert! Not only do I love Tom's music, I knew his piano player (Tedd Firth) when I was in college. And I've seen them live, they're awesome! Quote
lost_sheep3 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Posted June 20, 2011 Listening to the concert now - it's pretty darned good! Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Posted June 21, 2011 I watched it, was a good performance. Tom sang one of his trademark songs, "Makin' Whoopie", and also featured the "50 Checks" song from "Catch Me if you Can." And I've never heard a jazz rendition of "Summer in the City" before but they did a heck of a job with it.At the end of the show, Tom is giving kudos to the band, naming each performer. "Ted Firth on Piano"... ect. Then Tom says, "And if you didn't like the show...I'm John Schneider!" Clever, ain't he? That cracked me up. By the applause though, I don't think Tom had anything to worry about. Quote
