As wonderful as Alan's live shows invariably are, there is something exceptionally special about those shows that result from adverse circumstances - in this particular instance, the loss of both BBB mainstay Cory Tetford and sound/setup wizard Peter Greene to illness (huge kudos to longtime friend and fellow NLer Chad Murphy, who flew in from Nashville to keep Cory's spot warm and to tour manager Emmet who suddenly had to take on both FOH and BOH duties) - because no one I have ever seen is more capable of rising above such challenges, as well as lifting up everyone else around him, than Alan is.

On this night in Denver, the first of 2 shows at the Soiled Dove, this audience was indeed among the Chosen Few who were lucky enough to be present as a particularly potent brand of magic was being made. There was charm, there was grace, there was laughter...most of all, there was an abundance of love. Safe to say, all hands present did indeed Love Tonight. Soiled Dove, Denver, Colorado.
