My Review of Ft. Myers!
The audience was totally different to the concert in Orlando! Here the people were much older...I would say at least 60+, of course a few younger ones. It surprised me to see that the concert hall was still 1/3 empty 10 minutes before the concert was due to start. People seem to stay outside the hall until time of beginning and go in very late. So the concert started with a delay of 15 minutes!
David played the same pieces as in Orlando (Tabbi has posted the track list in the Orlando thread). Again you could first hear his violin but not see him, he appeared from the back!! The audience was yelling, when they saw him. He played absolutely outstanding.....I would have loved to filmed a lot, but the security control was very strict here and I was happy to take so much photos!!!
My feeling was, the audience was much quieter than in Orlando, but not less enthusiastic. They did not shout "thunder" that loud....maybe because of their ages....they were afraid to lose their choppers....(lol)...
There was a long queue lining up the merchandise stand, they sold soooo many of his CDs and T-Shirts.....and again a lot of people were taken backstage after the concert, PBS sold a lot of backstage meet-and-greets!
