Hey Paola, first of all THANK YOU so much for the Complimentary Guest Ticket. You and the entire band were great. Regina was INCREDIBLE with her sax and her singing flute. That was so cool watching her playing and singing through her flute microphone. It was great to see you with your silver necklace and being in great form and harmony with the band. The diversity of your very talented musicians was on full display with how they seamlessly were able to move through various rhythms and melodies within the same song, like how they totally changed the tempo from your telling the story of how you started the song. “We were two daughters of one Race” in a sort of mellow slow groove, then moved into a rocky groove that took on a sort of Irish and Scottish medieval sound. The audience didn’t need to have a program in their hands because it was a great idea how you used the video screen with the titles of the songs. Loved how all the musicians played their various solos and what a great idea in “ECHOS” to have Miguel start with his bass and then have Markus following him, adding the keyboards into the mix, then Wolfgang on the guitar together with Thomas simultaneously coming in with the drums later into the song, then having Regina joining with her flute and your vocals to complete the ensemble into a very cool jazzy groove. You were really showing off your vocal range from high to low in “A Song of Innocence.” Bravo to you and the entire “Lukas Tower Band” for a great performance.
