The first GL concert I ever saw/heard was at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. in 1976. I remember very little about it - I had just separated from my husband -a time I prefer not to remember in any great detail. I saw GL again at Merriwether Post Pavillion many years later. It must have been after '82 because he had obviously quit drinking. He was gaunt and barefoot. I didn't enjoy the concert much. he seemed angry or grouchy throughout the evening. Hope I enjoy Wolf Trap more than these two.

He's not barefoot nor grouchy these days and you WILL enjoy the Wolf Trap concert more, no doubt. And you'll get to see one of my infamous Hawaiian shirts up close. That alone will keep you laughing at least.
