Amos Lee in Toronto

As Larry David would say, pretty pretty pretty good.   I knew it would be, but it was still about 100 times better than i was expecting.  The subtle musicianship of his band is truly impressive - in particular the pedal steel/banjo'ist, and his 2 backup singers were all incredible.  Check out the tune he closed with: a cover of Queen "Fat Bottomed Girls":

"Everyone knows they’re building a tablet. What have they said, though? Nothing. What have they shown? Nothing. When will they say something? When it’s done. What will they show? Something real."
