Ian with the help of Luke Daniels, Kit Morgan, James Duncan, and David Goodyear. I was very happy to catch this performance at the Cincinnati Music Hall Ballroom, which sat a little over 1000 people. The concert lasted almost three hours, consisting of winners of the radio station 92.5 (FOX), The lucky winners got to come up on stage, and "Rub Elbows" with Ian, and ask him questions. After playing 2 or 3 songs, Ian would invite another winner up to ask questions. It was very informal, and Ian related to the audience in a way that made everyone feel they were "Rubbing Elbows". One question that came to mind that I remember was one that asked Ian what was his favorite tour over the years was. He stated that he could not really pick one out, and that the band concentrated on acting as if they were playing the material for the very first time, in front of any audience, anywhere!! To me, this represents the great effort that goes into Ian and the boys going on the road, and "live material" being delivered to the audience in a very special way, connecting to the audience in a personal way!! |
