WOW!! Bruce Hornsby is Incredible!!!
by Psyshack on 4/28/11Saenger Theatre Mobile - MobileRating: 5 out of 5I have been a fan of Bruce since I saw him with the Range in 1987. I always was thrilled to see him when he played with the Dead. I thought these experiences gave me an idea of what to expect from him when I went to see him 4/26/11 in Mobile, AL.
I was wrong.
Bruce started off with some very funky improvisational piano play as he and the band got in sync. The show then proceeded to meander over new, old and covered material as
Bruce engaged the audience in conversation. "Play That Funky Music White Boy" being played on the Appalachian dulcimer is an unforgettable experience. Taking requests from the audience, Hornsby managed to create a truly intimate experience. He customized the set list to reflect regionally relevant material. I left the show pumped from the great ryhthm jams and feeling like I knew Bruce Hornsby a lot better than when I got to the show.
I can totally see why people will pay to see Bruce over and over and I will make it a point to see him again whenever he is within driving distance.
LOVED it.
