REK was simply amazing - as he always is. The venue suits him and his style well - very intimate setting and it allowed for what felt like a personal experience. This was my first show at the Birchmere, and as a venue, it was awesome. If you haven't been, be aware that there is no seating, which was certainly not an issue for REK - I don't think anyone would have been seated anyway.
The only thing I wish is, in previous shows he has done an acoustic version of Billy Joe Shaver's Live Forever at the end of his set - and I wish he had done that this time as well. It is the best version I have ever heard.

Favorite moment: Toss up between Coming Home, The Road Goes on Forever, but probably Feeling Good Again. @
