I was really excited to see the legend perform, only to be let down by his disregard for his adoring audience's time, and his lack of, well, singing. He definitely showed that he had it in him to give 100%, instead choosing not to for some reason. How sad. Oh, and this perfectly summed up my experience::: "The Gardengoers who were wasted on wine and cheese didn’t likely notice Green’s expert practice of non-singing, but those of us who wanted to stand and soak in the glory — the absolute majesty — of Green’s glittery vox were inevitably disappointed." Great, accurate, honest review, Ric. Thank you.
