Al Stewart With Dave Nachmanoff - 5/26-12, Clearwater, FL (Capitol Theatre)

[Mr. Heartbreak]

The Capitol Theatre doesn't have much history online, at least not in a lazy Google search. Fortunately, some enterprising individual has already posted several Youtube videos from the show, enabling those of us who were there to enjoy again seeing Al - who is looking a lot like Eric Idle these days - running casually through Year of the Cat, Time Passages and On The Border.

I was hoping for Nostradamus, Roads to Moscow and/or Valentina Way, but alas...no luck. After the recent run of great shows I have seen, like Wilco, Elton John, The Beach Boys, and Buddy Guy, my expectations were pretty low, but this was great. Talk about an intimate venue, the place seats less than 500. The sound was great, too, although you really can't tell it from the audio.

Edit: youtube vids removed

He actually did play that one, which was a surprise. Still a little disappointed I didn't get to hear Nostradamus, but am very glad he played such a tiny theatre.
