Nice but not up to expectations
by fallfan65 on 12/19/13Hilton Coliseum - AmesWas expecting the "festive holiday event". There was Christmas music and Simon still has a pretty good voice but I was hoping he would sing "Oh Holy Night" or other classics. That didn't happen. I understand the need for a mention of his foundation and why we were there to support him but I felt fully half of the night was commercials (from nice folks) about why we should contribute. All of the friends I spoke to felt much the same about the evening. He is a wonderful man (and my grandson sang with the choir) but it didn't live up to what was billed.
