his phrasing was sublime last night, and no, his voice ain't opera worthy, but it is not like he has ever been opera worthy, his performance was great, and his band was top notch.
i had a GREAT night with both artists, glad i can say that.
I have to agree with you Pottel about Bobs voice.
It's definately all in the phrasing of certain words,
& his facial expressions and subtle movements of his
body, & the way he wipes the sweat from his nose & hair.
I actually really like his raspy voice. If you can get over
that, coupled with his superb tight band, then he is a
joy & privilege to watch.
