This was the last night of Gingers five day run. He had to leave the stage at one point, though he came back and finished the early set.. The late show, which was also sold out, was cancelled. Making this the last set of his historic run in NYC

Iridium hit a new low for this performance. Tickets were $50 a set for admission $60 for a "preferred" seat or $350 for VIP seating. Even those of us forced to wait 60 minutes on the sidewalk, were shuffled to the back of the room in the hope that the suckers would fill in the front. Did I mention that PBS was filming? So the staff would not take orders or give checks after the music started, then they tried to cash out everyone all at once, and forced people to sit there for an hour after the set waiting to pay.
