Vince is a whopping 19 Grammy award winner (as of 2008). I'm so glad he made a stop in Kansas City. Hearing his pure voice ring throughout the beautiful Midland Theater was absolute perfection for the senses. In short, he had 7 guitars circling him on stage to access for all of his songs & playing abilities and was a wonderful showman & personality, playing requests of his songs as his fans yelled them out and he told us stories behind many songs. And his voice is like butter! He listened to the audience & responded back, adjusting what he said & played according to his fans wishes. How kind. His 3 veteran backup muscians were just the right touch of class & musical genious in their own right. Vince started at 8pm on the dot and ended at 11:15pm. He was sitting down (encircled by the 7 standing guitars) due to recent knee surgery. He limped off at intermission & looked like he could've been in some pain. He sang to us like a trooper though, and told stories like we were all sitting together at home. Toward the end a few yelled out "We love you Vince" or "I will always love you Vince." Please come back soon Vince! We do indeed luv you in KC.
