Hello Nigel!

 NR> Flew up to Canada from Dallas last Thursday to see Chris
 NR> de Burgh in concert in St Catharine's, just north of
 NR> Niagara Falls. It was well worth the trip. Excellent
 NR> show., Played pretty much all the songs I wanted to hear
 NR> and I got a few I'd never heard before and a few from the
 NR> Robin Hood album. Very entertaining and engaging even if
 NR> it does go on a political tilt from time to time.

Didn't know he had a new album out.

I saw him in Toronto many years ago in the what was once Maple  
Leaf Gardens.  Tickets were reasonably cheap.. the seats were  
high up in the nose-bleeds. The stage was at the narrow end of  
the arena. I had binoculars, but the viewing experience was  
next to deplorable. DeBurgh is a man of small stature.. at that  
distance it may was well been anyone on the stage and  
lipsyncing.   I get a much better experience enjoying music in  
a favorite chair and on a home hi-fi.

How much were tickets?  What was your seating location?  Was it  
a good visual stage performance with any special effects?
