The Sarasota crowd was quite varied and very enthusiastic.
The guys were in great voice and even greater mood -- the
shenanigans were many and often, especially during the
second half of the concert. They were obviously having a
grand time and it was a pleasure to see their enjoyment
along with listening to their wonderful voices.
Karl and Finbar were sporting yellow roses when the trio
first took the stage; Anthony's magically appeared at the
beginning of the second half. Go figure!
At one point during the show, Karl had finished a solo
and was waiting for Anthony and Finbar to join him on stage
(not the first time he had waited that evening). After a
moment, Karl walked over to the wings and Finbar walked
up to his mike to announce that someone had taken ill and
the concert would be halted briefly. Eric left the stage as
well. First fear was that Anthony was ill, then Finbar said
'she' and some audience members breathed a sigh of relief.
A very short time later everyone returned to the stage and
the concert continued.
Karl made a comment at the end of the concert -- said he
had seen the woman and she was doing well, she said the
concert was so bad she couldn't stand it! Of course that
received a laugh because it was so far from the truth.
Hopefully the remaining concerts will be as much fun for
both the audience and the guys!
