This Just In .. May 26, 2008

"David Foster and Friends" Concert Event, May 23, 2008, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas

Hey all ..

Figured that I'd stop in and tell ya about this WONDERFUL show!

Just a bit of a background, this event featured artists that have worked with 15 time Grammy Award winner David Foster but of course, I was there to see Peter.

The concert was shot on film for PBS with a DVD to be released around September. The PBS special is scheduled to air in December so stay tuned.

There are only a few times that a gal can get all dressed up and attend such a fancy event. And this was high class all the way!

The staging was gorgeous with various shades of blue lighting illuminating the area. The performance area had two tiers with some artists starting at the top with the option of walking down one of two winding staircases. There was a full orchestra as well as an electric band featuring keyboard player Greg Phillangaines. (probably not spelling this correctly but he is a very notable musician.)

They started the concert with a video montage of all the artists scheduled to perform. Of course, when they showed footage of Peter, I was screaming like crazy. :D

David introduced Peter with a genuine warmth.

Peter's set was pretty much the same as was performed in 2002 (?) for the Ronald McDonald House Charity event in Chicago and he really sounded wonderful. The set included "You're the Inspiration," "Glory of Love" and "If You Leave Me Now." He and David exchanged some fun banter with Peter giving David a hard time about wanting to team up and write again.

Other performances that really really touched me were by Andrea Boccelli and most significantly Josh Grobin.

After the show, I got to meet Peter's brother Kenny and his wife Elisa. Totally cool .. really fun!!!

Be sure to check out Kenny's mySpace page. Lots of great music and fun photos!

It was also great to see Peter's daughter, the very adorable Senna, once again.

And of course, the BIGGEST mistake I made was not high-tailin' out with Kenny and Elisa to the after party of which I was told was WILD. But as I think back and based on what Kenny blogged on his mySpace page, I probably would have been sent home on a gurney. .. ..

WARM THANKS and appreciation to Peter (and Doug) for giving me the opportunity to feel like a V.I.P. for a night. :D

Take care,
Linda
