Dennis,
Very cool my friend! You have become quite the showman! I felt like I was in the audience! Great job. I'm very happy for you.

Exxxxxcellent!

That's a great song to do live Dennis, short and sweet but with great impact and dripping with nostalgia. You really nailed the guitar parts and especially the transitions, never missing a beat. You sang it really well too (I could hear the cold but you adapted well). Your mic could have been boosted a little but the overall effect with the folks singing was really good. If you've got the crowd singing and giving you a wow! at the end, you've nailed it! The intro was perfectly pitched creating good rapport from the get-go. Great job!

Wow, is most definitely right!...you definitely made it look easy...and even as well as you have this song down it still takes a pretty fair degree of: focus, concentration, comfortability, and "ON-ness" (technical term) to pull this off like you did!
The crowd loved it and for good reason...if you can have folks taping their feet, clapping, or singing along then u have really done something. A. This in and of itself, should make you feel really great, I would think. (What a confidence builder!) B. Your musicality had 'em under your spell...the energy in the room was palpable.

Dennis, this is indeed a cool adventure, thanks for letting us tag along for the ride.

An excellent showing, I agree with all the good that's already been said, so "ditto".

What I'd like to add is that you got this result by doing things intentionally ... I don't see much happening by accident here.

You get it, I'm sure ... all kinds of things had to be aligned for this to work out, but now you know a bit more about what you might do to help an audience feel fine with you, and whatever ensues. So you've laid the foundation of your own performing style ... how cool is that ?!

I'm game for hitching another ride anytime ! So both my thumbs are out (and up) !

Pierre
