What a voice! What a row of hits both originals by Bobby Bare and some borrowed songs. At the age of 74 Bobby Bare still sounds as good as "country-crooners" get. If you haven't heard about half of the songs on this recording - well, I guess you're not that into country!

I was lucky with the seats (attended this one with my 83-year-old grandmother). The recorder placed straight towards the left speakers. No editing done except some single "clicks" removing and volume normalizing. The encore tracks were performed on acoustic guitar and keyboard only so they are a bit low. And there is some f***ing idiot answering his mobilephone during track 17. This is the COMPLETE concert.
