We did indeed make it for the Albert Lee concert on Saturday night. And it was, as expected, fantastic. Because we didn't get our tickets until Thursday night, we were on the last row, but that turned out to be Row 16. We'll post about the venue in a couple days.
Albert played all sorts of genres. A couple of songs from his Emmylou Harris days; one from the Everly Brothers. A bunch of good old 50's rock & roll. Mostly is was two hours of him showing off on the guitar, although he took a break to play a couple songs on keyboards, including "Highwayman".
His band was equally great, particularly the keyboardist, he with the ponytail and stocking feet.
All in all, it was a fantastic concert. Started right on time. No opening band. No intermission. Well worth the $30 or so for a ticket.
So Thank You, Albert Lee, for stopping by in Phoenix and putting on one helluva show. My jaw dropped to the floor with every guitar solo.
