He adjusted the pick with his left hand and his mouth. He dropped the pick once that I noticed.
He couldn't maintain a constant strumming pattern on most songs, the only one he really kept up with was Edmund Fitzgerald.
He seemed to want to please the audience and maybe felt he was letting people down, but really I was just so grateful to be able to see him. His voice was marvelous. I remember the last time I saw him 12 years ago and he didn't sound nearly as good then. He sounded great last night.

I too am worried he may be overdoing it. I think he is devoted to his fans but he really needs to take care of himself right now. I know I would have been so disappointed if he would have had to cancel last night but his health comes first.

This show will always be a wonderful memory for me.

Finesse - how was his playing affected in Wausau? In Minneapolis he needed to adjust the pick with his left hand constantly and sometimes even dropped it. Was that going any better last night?
