This was the first of two shows that Leonard did at Bass Concert Hall and I was mightily impressed. As he promised at the beginning of the show, he gave it his all delivering 3 solid hours of music. His band and particularly his back-up singers all turned in powerful performances. From my position next to the soundboard, the recording captured the acoustics of the room, but also clearly captured all of the instrumentation. Leonard�s soundman did an excellent job on this show.
