Pittsburgh, PA

There was something in the air last night! Even the pre-show dressing room jam session was top notch.

When walking off the stage for the 15 minute intermission during the show, several musicians - I remember Pedro specifically - commented on the groove. Everybody was 'on'. Yanni's audience interaction seemed more relaxed than ever. He's been on the stage for years but still gets a little nervous in front of crowds. The audience was about half the size of Toronto's, but their exhuberance was astonishing. We all felt it, and they got one of our best performances to date.

My friend Rob Charles brought in a video crew prior to the show and we wrapped up the taping of an interview seconds before the doors to the arena opened. I should be able to post some of that interview in a few days after they get a chance to edit it.

I have more pictures to post later today, but right now there are some friends waiting for me in the hotel lobby. Oh boy! I get to go do laundry.
