John delivered an amazing performance in Monterey the other day. This is maybe the 5th time we have attended his concert and we were thrilled to see him again. I especially like John's easy manner on stage. He continues to delight himself as well as his audience! He is such a classic - never goes out of style.
Back up music was awesome. There were 2 guys, one older guy on base and guitar and one young guy who played several different guitars, mandolin, harmonica and more. The younger guy also sang back up as well. What a talented guy. I believe his name was Jason. Kudos to him.
I wish the opening act had been Iris DeMent. I love her and attended her awesome solo performance in SF a number of years back....after having seen her with John at the Fillmore in SF. I didn't much care for the opening act. It was ok but forgettable - too much guitar tuning between songs!!!!
