Reviews Orlando, Florida Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts Walt Disney Theater March 9, 2024 |
Review by Marc Roffman
Bob was on his game tonight performing a masterful magical concert . This was my
126 show going back to 1974 when he toured with the band. The Walt Disney
Theatre is what you’d think it would be.State of the art acoustics multi tier wood
kind of flowing multiple levels. The band was fantastic how an 83 year old man can
sit with his grand piano in front of several thousand fans of all ages and perform as
well as he did was truly amazing . He thanked the crowd several times in a very
heartfelt manner and was able to stand for most of the last half of the show.
Every grain of sand his last of the evening left people stunned with his harp closing
the last several minutes. My seat mate who was seeing him for the first time had
tears in his eyes.
Review by Dan Dorchak
This was my second time seeing Bob at the Dr. Phillips Center in Orlando
and a similar thought remains - the sound here is incredible. Bob was
again in terrific voice and mood for the first night in Orlando, laughing
several times throughout the night and standing behind the piano for a few
songs consecutively. He wore a black jacket to cover a white shirt and
black trousers, both embroidered with rhinestones. No hat. Crowd was
receptive, not acerbic and cold like Ft. Lauderdale. Everyone was having
fun. How could you not?!
Not a whole lot to comment on the show itself as it was practically the
same show I saw in Ft Lauderdale - although I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight was
not included in Ft. Lauderdale. I enjoy the way he slowly builds this song
up to a frenetic jam, even the old heads in front of me were nodding in
approval. Walking By Myself again took the wildcard spot, and I can tell
Bob really enjoys singing this song. Every Grain of Sand featured a
harmonica solo that flew off the track like an errant locomotive. Always a
treat to hear him blow.
Looking forward to Orlando 2 tonight. Thanks Bob!
