Don Potter sings medley of opening theme from "Friends & Love", "Joropo Piropo", and finale from "Friends & Love" in Chuck Mangione concert on 24-Aug-1984.
I find I listen to this several times a day. Great composition and playing. From the wonderful lyrics sung by Don, to the musical changes and instrumentation, I find this remarkable. Really beautiful. It's moving, full of emotion and in many ways touches the soul's desire. What music should strive to be IMO.
We saw him in concert at the Rochester club in 1981, then again in 1983 in Sanibel, FL with Bat McGrath. That was such a great show! And this concert for the Rochester sesquicentennial at the Eastman Theater was so memorable! I got to meet him and Chuck backstage after the concert. This is a memory that I'll always cherish.
Don hits the notes a bit lower than in the original concert, it still sounds fantastic. I'm struck by both performances, he has phenomenal breath control and singing technique. He fully enunciates every word he sings, and it's a joy to watch and listen.
Un concierto de Chuck Mangione es un álbum doble grabado en vivo en el Eastman Theatre en Rochester, Nueva York el 9 de mayo de 1970, y lanzado por Mercury Records, aunque debo reconocer que el peinado de la flautista corresponde mas a los años 80 que a los tempranos 70, jejeje
