Tickets to this show were a great birthday gift from Dobie to Teree & I.

Jason Allen was opening the show so, Gene could have lost his voice & all his charisma and we would have still been happy.  Thankfully, though, he didn't!

His voice is still as strong and melodious as it was in the '70s and '80s.  And he definitely knows how to capture his audience.  As I looked around, there were people dancing, and a lot of people just watching the stage.  But, there wasn't anyone ignoring the show as happens sometimes.  Everyone seemed to know they were seeing a legend.

I wish I'd captured a video or two to share with you, but you know how I am about only doing that if I have permission from the artist.  And, I was tooooo "in awe" of Mr. Watson to even talk to him much less attempt to get permission!!  I was just happy taking pictures!!  :)
