Well said, and I think most of us would agree. Sadly I noticed he was a bit hard to hear sometimes at the Norwalk concert. The music hall there is an original 1800's old Town Hall with poor acoustics and no baffling at all, and I think the sound board guy didn't compensate for this, or probably couldn't. Overall the volume was too low also, as I could hear and understand the people in the row in front, and in the row in back of me talking. I'd rather have the volume up where I can only hear Gordon and the band. But it was still a good concert and wouldn't have missed it no matter what the small flaws were.
