On
Saturday,
June
8,
2002
my
wife
and
I
attended
the
Dan
Fogelberg
30th
Anniversary
Tour
concert
at
the
Xanadu
Theatre
at
the Taj
Mahal
in
Atlantic
City.
We
had
a
fabulous
time
although
I
believe
Dan
Fogelberg
deserves
a
better
venue.
The
theatre
is
small
and
cramped
with
movable
chairs
rather
than
theatre
seats.
A
bar
was
set
up
on
the
side
and
every
now
and
then
you
could
hear
a
beer
bottle
being
tossed
into
a
trash
can
by
the
bar
attendants.
Dan
Fogelberg
sounded
great
for
a
guy
who
has
been
performing
now
for
30+
years
(a
shock
to
me
personally
when
I
thought
about
it!).
I
started
my
Dan
Fogelberg
collection
in
1974
with
"Souvenirs"
and
my
latest
acquisition
was
"Portrait"
-
a
great
compilation
of
Dan's
songs.
The
band
with
Dan
Fogelberg
were
very
talented
-
and
famous
in
their
own
right
as
well
-
especially
Joe
Vitale
whose
music
I've
enjoyed
from
playing
with
Joe
Walsh
on
the
album
"The
Smoker
You
Drink
The
Player
You
Get".
The
only
disappointment
of
the
evening
came
with
the
third
and
final
set.
I
would
much
rather
hear
Dan
Fogelberg
compositions
than
Joe
Walsh,
Muddy
Waters
or
George
Harrison.
I
bought
my
tickets
because
I
enjoy
Dan
Fogelberg's
talented
playing
and
composing
-
not
just
his
musical
ability
to
play
other
artist's
music.
However,
all
in
all,
it
was
a
great
evening!
I
would
gladly
pay
to
see
Dan
Fogelberg
in
concert
again.
By
the
way,
when
will
he
be
in
the
Philadelphia
area
again??
