I know that everyone on this board is a musical snob so I figured that I would P.O. all of you by giving my review of someone who isn't "hip" enough :
Wifey, her sister (my SIL) and myself went down to see him at the Granada Theatre.

Set List hasn't been posted yet, but here is the set list from Austin (very similar):
http://www.setlist.f...x-73c322cd.html
Observatiions:
Theatre was configured to a club setting, so you had to stand the whole time
75/25 girls to guys
If you are a fan of 45-55 y.o. women, you could have walked out of there with some serious tail
Because of the crowd mix, they converted the men's room to a ladies' room (and the lines were still long). Guys had to use the upstairs bathroom (normally used for the theatre's offices).
Wifey and SIL both brought panties to throw at the stage. About 2 dozen thrown. Tom Jones joked that ladies need to be sure to take off the price tags first LOL.
Surprising # of 20-somethings there
LOTS of blues songs, as you can tell by the set list
Didn't play many of the old favorites that you would think should be played
The band was kick-a$$. The 2 lead guitars and the bass were very high up in the mix.
I may lose my man card for this, but the guy does know how to put on a show. Voice in great shape, lots of crowd interaction, always moving around the stage, and he belted out EVERY number.
Strange to hear "Thunderball" with a guitar lead (no horns), but it worked.
