This was an almost three-hour show, and most of the best stuff never made into the documentary. I was 16 and right in the center of about 300,000 people. The weather was absoluterly perfect, and the sound was absolutely perfect. The music loud, but crystal clear with no distortion It sounded like it was coming from all directions, including the buildings. Notice how good his upper register sounded, and the band was flawless. Even enjoyed Richie Zito and Tim Renwick on guitar.

Makes you wonder how many one of a kind works of art and other gifts come flooding I'm. So many he doesn't appreciate them. There should be a form letter thank you at least I'm not sure it's the kind of thing he would wear.

That sweater must have been just gorgeous!! I remember having my mom take me to buy a birthday card for a local radio DJ. I must have been in the 6th grade, and really took the time t find the "right" one. The DJ was no celebrity, and it sure sooo disappointing that not even a form letter was sent to acknowledge. If there aren't "fans" these people don't have jobs, yet I understand at the same time. Take care!

@bluerazor7049 Жыл бұрын
Just so you know that after his surgery in 1987 he still used falsetto into his 1988/89 tours, and began using it from 1995-1998. And he still uses it here and there now. Some of his concerts in this year were the best vocally in the past 20 years!
@gahloot Жыл бұрын
@@bluerazor7049 His falsetto had really diminished by Reg Strikes back, and Sleeping with the past. But I'll take it, in comparison to anything done after Made in England. Actually, I saw him sing live, the songs from El dorado. And I enjoyed his voice. After that it's been all pretty much down hill. I've seen him in concert about 100 times. Before and after his surgery. That last concert I fully enjoyed was the Disney/Elton John's Aids benefit concert with Ray Cooper at the Greek Theater. I'm I believe 1994. The last time I saw EJ live was mid 2000's. When his voice really started diminishing. I swore I'd rather remember him when he was at the top vocally. Instead of seeing him later on when he started doing his "Let's build a retirement for my kids tours". I had free tickets for the recent Dodgers stadium farewell concert. I gave them away.
@bluerazor7049 Жыл бұрын
@@gahloot The vocal-surgery and age are the main cause. He could do falsetto up until 1998 very well if he wanted to but chose not to because he learned a different vocal approach. There's plenty of live show recordings, I'd recommend looking up GregSynthWizard if you want to listen to his 'Prime-Live' shows which are a peroid from 1979-1986. For post-surgery I'd recommend listening to the Winston-Salem show of 1997. It's got a lot of wonderful gems there.
