Also John Legend performing Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" in it's entirety with the L.A. Phil. Have to check those out.

Not to be a dick but the L.A Philharmonic does not play at the Bowl, it is the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.

Well, maybe it's a gay guy who calls himself "La Phil", cause he sure seems to be playing there a lot this season.

My bad, sorry. Whenever I have been to the bowl it has been the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra and the musicians that play in the Bowl Orchestra get a little bent out of shape when you refer to them as the LA Phil.

It was great, about three hours, everyone in the stands knew every word to every song, except me. But, at least I did know/remember most of the songs. He still sounds great, had a great show, unlike Elton John and CSN who still play good but shouldn't sing anymore. We stayed by the Hollywood Lowes and even went in there for a couple wines after the show. Walked around on Hollywood Blvd, took some pictures, don't want to live there.
The place was sold out.

Reading between the lines, are you saying that you wish you could have been singing with them, or do you wish they had shut up so you could hear the artist without all the "help" the fans were providing?

One of my (curmudgeonly) gripes about some concerts I have been to.

no, just that maybe I wasn't always alert when those songs came out.
