Could be the screams.. could be the horns... could be the yearning.  It's. just. there.

 The sounds, the vocals, the set list.  Everything about this show was perfect.  A true eargasm for music lovers.  I had missed his tour stop here a few years prior, but had a chance to see him Philly.  I made it a point to not miss this show and I'm so glad I got to experience it.  Worth every penny... and some.
