Last night my wife and I went and saw Harry in Columbus, Ohio. It was great. The concert started about 8:15 and went on until close to midnight. Harry was very personal and funny, sharing a story about presenting an award at the VH1 fashion awards that had the crowd in stitches.

The band started off by playing "How Do Ya'll Know" and then progressed through the Star Turtle album. In the middle of the concert Harry slowed things down and did a 15-minute Gospel tribute with the song "Just a Closer Walk With Thee." The crowd was moved as were my wife and I.

He capped the evening off by grabbing a bass guitar and walking all through the crowd jamming on that thing like there was no tomorrow. This was definitely the best concert I have ever been to and I would encourage anyone who is a fan of New Orleans funk music to see this show!
