2009-10-10 Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers

Xanadu Theatre at the Taj Mahal

Only a small crowd of Bruce fans showed up for this show out in Atlantic City.

Bruce started by suggesting the possibility of playing the Dead tune "Jack Straw" but the response failed to impress and the band then went right into a standard set. While it was rare that Hornsby would play a show for his own fans that was comprised only of his most well-known tunes, it didn't bother me at all. I was happy to see and hear that show from the first row, and was able to take excellent photos of the band on this night.

I was able to chat with JT Thomas after the show, and he was surprised to learn that Kelly Clarkson was also playing that night in the larger theatre inside the Taj Mahal.
