No opening act either- he went on ON TIME (that's a nice change of pace, thanks Keith!) at 8pm, played until 9:30.

I wasn't sure how he would be live, just because when I've seen him live on tv, on awards shows and such, he's a bit sloppy it seems. Maybe he's simply more comfortable on HIS stage, with HIS crew, etc. He's not sloppy at all. His voice & guitar (and band) sounded as good as the record.

FYI, his bass player now is his old bass player from the Ranch- pretty cool.

I must've misread the ads- I thought it was gonna be last month.l
