It's amazing that I was at this show, and his singing didn't sound as much out of tune on the night as it does on the sound and video I've heard since. I only started worrying about him being out of tune by the third or fourth number, but listening to that, he's off key a little right away, with the opening number.
I still say the show was a resounding success, but I do hope they pay attention to the fact that he needs to hear himself clearly and whatever audio aids he needs are revised and checked.

Having watched this a couple of times it's undoubtedly the opening two songs that impress me the most (long energetic versions, inspired piano and strong vocals)... after that things are a little bit more hit and miss, but it's still a magical show.

Thanks for posting this. Great show! I felt like I was there. Great editing Dr.

I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear during the first two songs myself. Great to see him so inspired. While he may be a little rough vocally in certain places it's amazing how well he can still play. Hope he is able to come back over for all of you guys.

What a smoking version of Wine spodee odee!! I just love the way he plays the lick at around 5.20! Fantastic that he still delivers after giving all this music for so long!

I'm glad the video of the whole concert reaffirms my view posted as soon as I got home from the Palladium that Jerry was in very good form. Some of the more negative comments posted by people who had watched individual songs out of context on YouTube point to a difference between actually going to a concert and watching selected clips if you weren't there. Video often fails to capture the atmosphere. Courtesy of Peter C., I've managed to relive on video many concerts from years ago. Some of them (eg Dartford in 1985) more than confirm my memories of amazing shows whilst others removed from the excitement of being in the audience are not quite as I remembered. The Palladium show was in my opinion quite special because as I watched and cheered, I was also thinking this was almost certainly my last show of Jerry's. As someone said, you can experience the download but you can't download the experience! atmosphere has ALWAYS been a crucial part of Jerry's concerts and the Palladium had it by the bucket load. A great gig and great memories.
