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

Hello MB,
....fantastic videos, reviews and photos in this forum tell the story of this amazing night. Congratulation to you and your crew, ....but special 'thanks' to you, for your message and your words of gratitude. I'm sure that's not usual, ... but you do it...
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues,
but the parent of all the others.

Best whishes to you!!!!!

Hi Michael,
I had a splendid evening at the concert in question. Its the first time I have seen you and I didn't know what to expect. I loved the fact that you were so warm and friendly with the crowd, like you said the crowd were lively and i'm glad I could be a part if it. It makes a difference from some artists who don't really address the crowd. You really made it special, so thank you. I hope you return to the RAH next year?? It is a lovely venue and I enjoyed the whole experience. I hope you enjoy a well deserved break at the end of your tour.
Love Lara x

Dear Michael, thank you for sharing so eloquently with us a moment that was so clearly moving for you. You’ve consistently returned to the RAH over the years and it’s easy to see why. Well, aside for the fact that it seems to be your favorite venue esthetically and acoustic-wise, from the fan reviews we’ve read, it seems to be the meeting point for your biggest fans from neighboring countries and it’s likely to turn into a love fest! After the response you got from your 2 shows there last year and the filming of your DVD, it was inevitable that you’d have a triumphant return. You’ve had a very busy, emotional and successful year Michael, I’m just very glad that you are feeling profoundly the rewards of all your hard work, you deserve it so much. God bless you sweetie, here’s to many more moving experiences! Take good care of yourself, travel safe and may you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving, whatever you’ll be doing. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
