Linda Eder at the Town Hall 10/13 — Page 2

Boy, I must be in Wonderland. I saw the concert (sat upstairs in the Loge) and thought that it was terrific. Exceptional. Linda was in great voice - without her usual over-the-top vibrato. She's never been a raconteur, but her honesty is disarming, whether talking about "two Broadway stars and a tractor driver" or "should have put her Diva foot down when they cut Bring On The Men". Had no trouble with her lyrics, but I knew most of the songs. Her band was terrific as well, with a big sound and tight arrangements. Cuccioli was the weakest of the three - perhaps under-rehearsed - but not a problem. And the lovefest among the three of them was palpable. In the past, Linda has been compared to Streisand, but Streisand's time (and voice) have past while Linda is better than ever.

imho
