Bruce was personable, relaxed, and played with an amazing amount of energy (and humor). Pat’s Unity Group received several standing O’s, most notably after ’Rise Up.’ My highlight was Bruce and Pat collaborating on ’The Moon is a Harsh Mistress,’ with Bruce taking the vocals superbly, and offering just a little piano comp under Pat’s solo. Completely different musicians in every way, but both incredible at what they do, in their own distinctive styles like no one else.

Just stunningly gorgeous and I always wanted to hear that live. In a perfect world, there would be a DVD of this tour - including that song, of course. I think I’ll go play it now. And foper, glad you enjoyed the show!!
