I've never been so fortunate to hear Sean in person, but that will be remedied soon. I do have his CD's & his videos. I wasn't there obviously for the performance Emily saw, but I wonder how much of what she saw was drinking & how much was it being the second show of this tour & not really into the act yet plus it being 4-5AM for his body clock. It seems that any man that can tell a tale so it sticks with the listener & perform a song like the 12th of July so that it quiets the audience, can't be that far gone. From what I know & from what Barry Finn said, it seems that it would take Sean a while to settle into a performance & feel comfortable & do the wonderful job he is capable of. A fan
