With Apologies on the what are maybe the worst 3 photos ever taken - we saw Don McLean last night at the Sugar Loaf Performing Arts center in Chester NY. I guess the last time we saw him was at the Bardavon - just a few years ago - in 1978 !! His voice has faltered a bit since then,,,, but he still did what thought was an excellent show - 2 hours of a mix of Tunes from across 50 years of Music,,, While I don't have the whole set list - he did (in no particular order) Headroom, Tapestry, Castles in the Air, Homeless Brother, Lotta Lovin, Crosswords, Winer wood, Everyday & Not Fade Away (Buddy Holly) , Cryin ( Roy Orbison) , And I love you so (our Wedding song) , Vincent, Botanical Garden, Lucky Guy, snippets of Drinkin Again, It's a Wonderful Life, Sleepwalk with Band introductions, and Ended of Course with American Pie. All in all a great show - the Venue was very nice - Small (which is great) could have used a little more heat in the building.. Parking was great - we got right in and out - they had police there directing traffic at the end of the Show - very nice !
And of Course - with no fault of the Performer or the Venue there is always that asshole that think we came to hear them sing ! and those that need to f-ing WHOOO HOOO at the end of nearly every song/comment by a performer - and still the one in the Balcony that wants to talk to the singer in between songs - thankfully Don did not engage them !
