Last night Anne and I headed back over to Philly to the Academy of Music to see the one and only Tony Bennett!! It was a phenomenal concert and one of the best performances I've ever seen. His voice is unchanged from his early days and is still pure perfection. He sang a ton of his hits (and a couple that I wasn't really familiar with) but didn't sing the entire song, which allowed him to give us all just a taste of each one. I so wanted him to sing I Left My Heart in San Francisco and had slightly high hopes as he mentioned in his book that he isn't tired of singing it. When the end of the night approached and he finally fulfilled my dreams and began to sing it I was moved to tears - not that it's difficult for me to do so, since I pretty much cry at everything - but it was just wonderful and the audience went wild with applause before sitting in complete silence, reveling in every lovely note. A flawless evening.
