Thanks for your concert write ups, as always! Thanks for posting the set list too. Did you notice it unfolds like a story in general, from Ireland ... to sailing ... to America. Maybe that's why it's called "Odyssey". Did it play like a normal concert, or did they try to tell the storyline? Sounds so fun!(Side note: I think I heard Amazing Grace was written on a ship during a storm.)PS. Did you add any extras, e.g. pre-show Soundcheck? If so, is it worth it? I don't think they do true M&G any more...
@CWazyTom @dbbiiHave you guys seen the Odyssey concert on PBS? How does the concert compare to the TV special?Let me shoot straight. The TV special seems a little tame & not as "fun" or energetic as previous CT shows. Is the concert better in person?

Is the concert better in person?Neither of my PBS stations have shown it yet as far as I know and it isn't available to me on PBS Passport either. So I have to wait for the DVD. It's pretty ridiculous that Blu-ray isn't the standard for these yet.I've only seen 2 Celtic Thunder tours live (X and Odyssey), so I don't have too much to compare to aside from the past DVDs. I enjoyed the tour. The music was great. The solos were some of the best they've produced in my opinion. They had some powerful, emotionally heavy songs, but they had a bunch of lively and fun ones as well. I thought Neil stumbling around the stage during Seven Drunken Nights was in itself worth the price of admission.
