OK, now to conclude this thread, the Nickel Creek concert was excellent, there were maybe 3000 people at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, attending.The audience cheered loudly when the band did their loud acoustic performances. And the free, open-air Al Stewart concert at the Sands Casino was also excellent, even rowdy, alot of whooping & hollering,again at the loud acoustic performances. Dave Nachmanoff opened for Al, then he accompanied him, on the acoustic guitars. It was awesome. Al Stewart did some of his classic rock, and new music. Afterward I met Al at the "meet & greet" and he autographed the "Beach full of shells" CD. The Reno evening was mild this time, it was breezy, cool,sunny, t-shirt weather,the nearby Cinco de Mayo vendors drove me crazy with the beer and burritos.Yet I kept thinking about how Gordon has come to this city so many times, will he return?
