Neil's voice was better than ever during this South Florida concert! Starting with Solitary Man, Neil showed what a jewel of a voice he still has. After not seeing Neil live for 15 years, I did not know what to expect. His voice sounded better than it did back in 1993! Sharp and crisp and able to nail all the high notes, Neil is back better than ever! He really got the crowd going on staples such as Sweet Caroline, America, and one of my many favorites, Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show. I even loved some of his new songs such as Pretty Amazing Grace and Home Before Dark. What I thought was really inspiring and very cool, was his autobiographical piece Brooklyn Roads played to video images. Also, America gave me goosebumps with the video image of immigrants coming to America. Overall, I thought the concert was great with the mix of old and new songs.

Play Me, 10. Crunchy Granola Suite, 11. Brooklyn Roads, 12. Soolaimon, 13. America, 14. Hello Again, 15. Love on the Rocks, 16. Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show, 17.
