Even better than expected
by Sue from Maine on 11/13/19Port City Music Hall - PortlandRating: 5 out of 5Puddles always provides a great experience on YouTube. Seeing him live it also great, but different. Puddles is the consummate showman. He creates a mood and includes his audience in the experience. Our show began with him slowly making his way forward to the front, greeting his audience, shaking hands, posing for the occasional selfie. He combines video with his songs and a lot of physical comedic moves(the man must have training as a mime, he is so good with this). He had a special video of a ASL interpreter for the Sounds of Silence - this worked so well with his singing that it almost seemed as if the interpreter was there live playing off of him. The room he was in was a smaller venue, but perfect for him to reach everyone. And he made a point of allowing for time after his performance of having an opportunity for hugs and more selfies if you wished to stay. His performance is not just singing, it is a whole experience!
