I caught the Summer of Living Dangerously tour this past weekend at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH (Cleveland's summer concert venue).
Two things really stood out to me.
1. They left an empty mic stand where Walter used to stand.
2. Hey Nineteen was now just another song in the set.
I really enjoyed the show, but it was bittersweet without Walter.
I understand what you are all saying...the music and wonderful performances will continue. But for me, SD without Walter - my heart just isn't into it. There was something special about seeing the creator: the author of those incredible lyrics and superfine sound. It's diminished without his presence.
