Label : no label Venue : Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Recording Date : November 5, 2014 Quality : Audience Recording (A+) Review : Excellent audience recording of Bob's second show of three at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis. Concert Review (Bob Links) : Bob was instrumental in saving the historic Orpheum Theater years ago, and last night performed an equally historic concert in it! I had not seen him perform since the Stadium Tour in the Hoboken, NJ river park, a setting that set the tone for that festival concert, gazing at the Freedom Tower lit up across the Hudson. But the Theater Tour has channeled his Hibbing High School theater club roots and his jazz piano playing is so strong and taking the lead over his band in so many songs. Standing up there in his Charlie Chaplin stance, his voice clearly enunciating every word (yes this is true), the crowd is dead silent at times absolutely mesmerized by a performance so different from any other. He performs some of his new songs so we all were all listening intently to the new lyrics. But the crowning moment is the finale when he sings the Frank Sinatra cover song that is rumored to be on his next album which will be released soon - "Stay With Me." Every woman in the audience, and many men too, were teary-eyed thinking of the one they should have stayed with. A quite magical, I would say, historic performance. |
