Ralphie ain't wrong to say it was an emotional event ...I was just mulling it over,and apart from remembering Nic standing alone in the spotlight with the music stand and mic in front of him singing 10,000 miles with impeccable phrasing, the sight of him beaming at both his son and the sound of his playing, and moving to the rhythm of it during an instrumental break in one of the other numbers comes back to me. At the time I was sitting there with a big cheesy grin on my face and a very warm feeling of shared enjoyment. What nobody has mentioned is the fact that there were TWO standing ovations. The audience was still standing and applauding after the mass group encores when the houselights went up.

(On a side matter,I just hope that the antisocial person in the two rows in front of us who kept disturbing my concentration by using a camera with brightly lit screen and flashing video light, and taking pics and video recordings during the evening,particularly during the Nic solos, has the good grace to put them up on Youtube so that the rest of us can enjoy them.)
