Royal Albert Hall Show - November 23, 2010
Nearing the end of this long, long tour around the world, I am growing deeper into my own gratitude for being able to do what I love so much. This was perhaps my favorite concert ever at the RAH. To walk into the most beautiful magical venue in the world and feel such warmth and overwhelming love and support from my fans in London and from all of the UK, was absolutely amazing. It was just so deep and powerful for me, I wanted to give even more. This was more of an emotional night than I could express for all kinds of reasons.
From the stage, we couldn't always make out all of the many conversations going on and comments from this very lively audience, but the overall effect was a plethora of tones that constantly felt positive and playful. People were just smiling and beaming at whatever was being expressed. I was taken aback by the signs congratulating me on the birth of my granddaughter Amelia, flowers and teddy bears handed up to the stage, and lots of love and laughter all night. It was equally special for my band, many of them playing in this intimidating and inspiring venue for the first time. My crew is made of heart and steel to keep going strong 90 shows into the tour. They load in early and load out late every night. I'm just so grateful.

My dear friend, Joan Lunden calls it "an attitude of gratitude" and that's just what I'm feeling.
Love and thanks to all, MB

Just poped in to say hello and congratulations on the birth of your beautiful granddaughter Amelia! Also, of course, thank you for a wonderful magical music which I can listen forever. It turned up unusualy cold here in the UK, so, I hope the warmth and gratitude of your fans will keep you going with your tour :-)

"Attitude of Gratitude" is everything! The most profound emotion, and generator of wonderful manifestations. Wish I could get a copy of my book to you, but I'm not going to just drop it off in your mailbox. You will get it someday since it was written in gratitude for one of your fabulous songs. Hope you got to spend a Happy Thanksgiving at home with your family and that darling little granddaughter. Thanksgiving is the greatest holiday because it is all about gratitude.
The Royal Albert is a fantastic venue, and the concert must have been truly magnificent. Wish I could have been there. Any chance it was recorded and will be available on DVD?

Awwwww gee Michael....SO GLAD you had a very moving experience. It sounds like an RAH concert just might be worth attending from here in the states!! Sounds like an excuse to see London and the entire UK to me.....I will talk with Bob ;) Attitude of gratitude is more than correct. That sounds like Oprah also....which I am trying desperately to get you booked on for her last season!!! All the fans here are helping by requesting you at Oprah's website!!! You DESRVE all the accolades so inhale them all deeply and SING ON!!!! Your band is also very talented and wonderful!! The band is only as good as its leader!!!! Stay strong and healthy for the rest of your tour!!! Much love....
Kathy and LAFD Bob
