First, an hour of Dobson was an hour too much. Norah seemed not to have a connection with her fans and does not understand that they are there to hear her earlier stuff -really. Smokey Hormel was great. I was sorely disappointed in the Jones concert. First, an hour of Dobson was an hour too much.

Norah does have wide appeal. I was sitting next to a grandmother ("Norah's my favorite!"), her daughter and husband and her grand-daughter with her boyfriend. Norah's stage presence is fabulous, and I was surprised when I realized the opening act (Sasha Dobson) was also in Norah's new band. Her lighting engineer gets top marks, but the sound man could tune his act up a little. For a great hall like the Paramount, I'm sure he could have cleaned it up some, toned down the bass and brought the vocals forward a little clearer. Norah is a very talented songwriter/musician/vocalist not (to mention easy on the eyes!) and I'm looking forward to her next album with much anticipation.
