A few weeks ago (8.13.10) Chris and I went to see HARRY CONNICK JR. and his big Band at the Hollywood Bowl.
We had ticketmaster gift cards for a long time and after watching Harry on IDOL last season we realized we wanted to see him in concert. I had already seen him once and I loved his concert and I wanted to see him again!
It was my first time at the Hollywood Bowl and it was beautiful. I Love outdoor concerts - especially on beautiful summer nights (which it was). Harry was great! So was his band and even part of the LA philharmonic orchestra played with him. He of course was funny, sang wonderfully and totally JAMMED on the piano. He is so talented!!!
Some of our highlights of the concert was:
- him referencing the "Hide your kids... Hide your Wives" Youtube video (if you haven't seen it... do so- FUNNY!)
- bringing his little daughter Charlotte out on stage
- his trombone player who he brought with him from his home town, New Orleans. He sang exactly like Louis Armstrong and could really play the Trombone!
- Harry's great Louisiana dancing... pretty funny!
It was a great night... I highly recommend Harry and his concerts!
Here is some footage we got from the concert... sorry for the shaky camera work- but the sound is pretty good!
