The song begins as the crowd returns from intermission, good placement, as this songs begins
softly and slowly and does not employ the crowd to scramble......
I soon realized that we were about to embark on a journey only few have had the pleasure of seeing.
The atmoshpere and ambiance became increasingly eery as the ocean and gull opus phase began....
The blue simple spot lighting that came from low down and behind slowly waved back and forth, added to the
spookiness of it being hallows eve. This eventually subsided but then enveloped into a intense keyboard
and guitar extravaganza.....performed flawlessly and mesmerizingly. A big thumbs up to this fill in keyboardist
Damian later introduced as Robert Ben something?....He really impressed me all night and was a real
whoot to watch as well.....he looked like he was having a blast, as Bobby frequently does too. but did not
compromize his abilities in any part . They really get into the groove and compliment Damian on guitar well...
While still admiring the seriousness that Ian & Damian hold throughout. I only wished the crowd responded
more zealously to the experience of such an epic....and It would have been such an honor to be able to tell
Damian in person how much I appreciated them picking such a great song and performing it so amazingly!....
I can only hope we will see Echos in the set list in the future tours too...
