Here's last night's Stevie show at the Bowl, for your listening pleasure. It was a somewhat shaggy night, performance-wise, but the band was tight when it was asked to be, the strings sounded lovely, and Stevie was in excellent voice - just give a listen to the things he does at the tail end of "Ribbon in the Sky." Hoo boy!

The recording's above average, by Bowl standards: some annoying audience chitchat and a lot of clapping, but good close sound. Check out the sample below if you're curious. The cut in "Ribbon" is near-tragic, and I'm well aware I should have flipped the disc a few minutes earlier during Stevie's daughter's song, but she sounded so good I hated to cut her off. That'll teach me. Otherwise, I think it's a pretty enjoyable listen. Hope you like it!
