    This was my first Blackmore’s Night concert and it was excellent. The band was perfect the sound was crystal clear. The only complaint I have was the crowd could have been a little more enthuesiastic. I was in the third row on Ritchies side and he is truly one of the greatest musicians the world has know. He handed out pewter mugs to some people in the first few rows. I almost got one but someone pushed me out of the way and grabbed it. I’m not good at remembering the order they played the songs in but some of the highlights were Guilded cage, Locked within the crystal ball, King for a day pt.1 & 2, toast to tommorrow and a particularly fun Home Again where Ritchie would improvise a little longer than Candice was expecting. Overall great show, can’t wait to see them again. Candice has a magical beautiful voice to compliment Ritchies mystical playing.

    Great performance on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at the Somerville Theater. It was a nice touch with the Bagpipes before the show. And the audience joined in singing a Hurdy Gurdy version of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Scarborough Fair”. My friends and I were surprised to hear a tribute to Fleetwood Mac’s “Rhiannon”. Although comparisons have been made because of the hair, Stevie Nicks just doesn’t measure up to Candice’s beauty and talent.

    My brother-in-law and I almost fell over when we heard “Diamonds and Rust” (Joan Baez). Also, we both agreed that Ritchie had a “Jerry Garcia moment” during “Home Again”. Ritchie was in his zone and the improvisation was well timed; but Candice did appear surprised. Our only disappointment was not hearing “Smoke On The Water”, “Street of Dreams”, and the 11:00 PM curfew.
