Concert and Tour REVIEW
THE TOUR 2007
31 concerts this year, (and also few private and radio shows) the largest tour so far !
Good vibes, good audiences every show. It’s hard to find a disappointed fan after the shows….
Well, I remember in Tenerife a crazy guy was a little bit upset because the noise from the people singing and clapping didn’t allows him to listen the show as in the living room of his house….. Well, this is not a Mozart’s concert ….. and the happy audience’s reaction is part of the party …. It’s hard to please everybody.
After few years with just few shows, It seems Roger finally found what he needs: a nice playmate on stage (Aaron), a good sound engineer team who knows the accurate needs of Roger, and the proper people around him managing the tour and taking good care of him, and, of course, nice audiences ready to enjoy together with him.
As in the previous tours, Roger performed several gigs with Orchestra.
Some fans miss a band in the acoustic shows. I could agree but I’d like to point two things:
In the accoustic shows you can realize all the details from the Roger’s and Aaron’s singing and playing that you can not catch in a live show with a band.
And also, for all of you who never enjoyed a Roger’s show with orchestra, I really do recommend you this wonderful experience.
In this times is not too expensive «take a Jumbo» and go to see Roger in a show with Orchestra if you really loves his music. No excuse :o)
I know some of you loves to scream «Who I am….» in the shower, but for sure you will get more fun singing together with Roger and a bunch of crazy and lovely fans :o)
I do recommend to you to attend a Roger’s show once in your life. You won’t regret !
And, more shows for 2008 ! Happy Xmas !
