Bruce Hornsby in Concert
| Despite all of the personal stress currently going on, I took a slight breather and went to the Bruce Hornsby concert at the newly remodeled Guthrie Theater. Strange as it seems, even though I am a huge fan of his music, this is the first time that I have seen him in concert. It was a 2 1/2 hour acoustic set with just him and his piano. It was a throughly enjoyable concert (although that sounds almost like an understatement); yet another reminder of what a truly accomplished pianist he is. It was very intriguing to hear both the jazz and classical music training winding its way through his various songs and piano solos. Not many artists can successfully pull off a strictly acoustic set, but Bruce managed to do it with both ease and a very active sense of humor (it was quite entertaining to see his interplay with the audience). As an added bonus, the ticket price included a free copy of his 4 CD/1 DVD Intersections collection (alone worth $50.00). I have already throughly played out disc_4 of this collection and am busy working on discs 1-3 (I had all the discs ripped and installed on my iPod as soon as I got home from the concert  ).Also, here is the website where you can (legally, of course  ) purchase previous Bruce Hornsby concerts. |  |
