Wonderful Winter Night in the Windy City

Who knew that travelling in the winter could be so anxiety filled? Well, all of us to be honest. But determined to see a whole shebang, what better place to see one of Anthill's most personable clients, Josh Groban, than the packed to the rafters 15000 strong Saturday night crowd at Chicago's United Center.
A wintry storm that was followed by freezing rain seemed to deter nobody though thoughts of being stranded @ O'hare all day Sunday did cross this paranoid mind.
The show including a blistering set by songstress Angelique Kidjo to get things started was a mix of new and old with Josh's warmth and connection to his fans a true delight to view.
A stage that was brilliantly lit and a sound mix that made it feel like a private show in a living room were part of the magic.
But without one of the most acclaimed voices on the planet and the material that it highlighted, it would've been just another gig.
Couldn't help notice a great product line and a record breaking night for program sales (printed with pride in Chi town by a certain Mr S).
Funny how a great show creates the demand for Rockware!!
Josh Groban's team including mgr Brian Avnet, agent Gayle Holcomb and the tour promoter were seen backstage putting the final touches to the routing to Legs 2+3. Sound like a 100+ run and Anthill will be there.
