The weather was perfect Friday, July 23 in Dallas. It was about 88
degrees, and there was a light breeze. I arrived at the Starplex at
6:30 pm. My seats were right in the center -- perfect! People started to
arrive, and by 8:00, the show began! Ned Goold and his trio opened up
the concert for about 25 minutes, and then there was about a 10 minute
break... Then came Harry! He was dressed in a short-sleeved grey
shirt with black pants and cowboy boots and a bandaged thumb as well.
The playlist was as follows:
- So In Love With you
- Charade
- We Are In Love
- I Could Write A Book
- Nowhere With Love
- [some instrumental thing]
- How Deep Is The Ocean, How High Is The Sky
- Time After TIme
- [some instrumental thing]
- How Do Y'all Know (Big Band Version)
- A VERY funky version of Avalon (he walked around the piano, beating
it with his fists to make an awesome beat!)
- Danny Boy
- What A Wonderful World (sung by Leroy Jones)
- Cry Me A River
- [special song by 16 yr old Pete Scapolli]
- I Love All of You (dedicated to the women)
- In The Still Of The Night
- Sensational
- It Had To Be You
- If You Go To N'Awlins (Harry danced with Leroy... hilarious!)
- Come By Me
ENCORE:
- Cottontail
It was a great concert! Harry joked about eating too much barbecue,
being "white trash", and yelling out to the guys once in a while that he
loved them the most! His mother-in-law was there, so he dedicated
"Avalon" to her. It was my first time to see Harry live. It was worth
every last penny! My advice: GO, GO, GO see Harry! You will not leave
one of his concerts and ever be disappointed! There was a big mess
after the show with autographs (I think too many people snuck in
cameras), so only a few people got autographs, and they weren't even fan
club members! Oh well. It was a great experience anyway... something
I'll definitely be doing again!
