   Went to this show here in Costal Virginia.   Great music----if they come around your town---I recommend a visit. 

    

   Quality sound--great jams---they know what they are doing with the music!!

    

   Tom----during death dont have no mercy------keyboard stand collapsed.   

    

   I literally watched Tom keep playing during the whole event.  He never stopped moving his fingers----the sounds produced were so appropriate to the song---but even more....there was a good 5 mins that 2 guys were holding his keyboard so he can play. Me and some other guy who worked for venue got two stools to rest his equipment on.   It was not a catastrophe, it was beautiful to watch artist, no matter the situation, keeping the tradition of allowing the music to go on---as the show must go on.  

    

   The only thing I can compare it too was watching JK look at Phil when Bobby collapsed in New York.  JK was like WTF---Phil was like glad its not me, and the band played on.   

    

   Big credits to Tom------again----they are touring and yes, it is worth your time and money!!!!

    

   All that being said-----There is a guy on this board who has a awesome story about Tom and his personal connection with GD first keyboardist.   I recommend figuring out who that guy is and making him tell you the story.  Its rather awesome, close to home, and a great informational story that makes this whole GD experience closer to home!!!    Its not I know a guy who knows a guy. ...   

    

   I am so lucky to know many of you that have enriched my GD/DSO experiences.  I will offer....the guy on the board who has this personal experience is part of what I call the Carolina Contingent.  Should make it easier to seek out, but allow for no pressure on the man with the story.
