In a word.....WOW.
I have seen many, many concerts in my 50 years and this one definitely ranked in the top 5. They played at Mohegan Sun in CT over the weekend. DH and I bought tickets the day they went on sale and I was super excited for months waiting for the day to come. As it turned out, DH had to work during the day on Sat., so as soon as he came home, we took off for Uncasville. I had tried to make dinner reservations all week to no avail, so we took our chances. I have never seen Mohegan Sun so crowded.
Every restaurant in the joint had lines out the door. We decided to try the bar at Michael Jordan's and caught a couple leaving. We stalked them until they left their seats, then jumped in. While we weren't crazy about eating dinner at the bar, we were both really in the mood for a steak and felt lucky to have even snagged these seats. We had the porterhouse for 2, lobster mashed potatoes and caesar salad. Everything was very, very good as was the service. Definitely 
for MJ's.
The show was scheduled to begin at 7:30 but actually started a little closer to 7:50-ish. No warm up band--just pure JT and Carole King. Her raspy voice seems to have gotten better with age and JT, well, he's JT. Always smooth, calming--just LOVE him! She looked fabulous for 68. While her face definitely had some wrinkles, she looked absolutely beautiful. They played all the favorites that brought me back to my teenage years as well as some that only a true fan would recognize. There was a 15 minute intermission and, after 2 encores, the show ended at around 10:30. I cried, I smiled, I sang along--everything good music should make you want to do. Truly moving. So....to anyone planning on seeing this show in the near future, you are in for a real treat. Enjoy!
