Chick Corea & Bela Fleck | Ruth Eckerd Hall 08.23.13

We made it to Clearwater Friday to check out the rescheduled Chick Corea & Bela Fleck show (postponed in March due to snow — not on our end!).

THREE VIEWS OF THE SHOWTo me, it was a spectacular classical performance. Both “boys” were simply off the chain. They are SO simpatico. 50-minute first set, hour+ second set, which included Gail Moran, Chick’s wife, for an encore singing “Someday My Prince Will Come.”

Linda is a bigger Bela fan than me, but she was bored. It’s not that she was expecting Return to the Flecktones or anything, but it just didn’t light her fire.

And, naturally, of course, you would expect no other, I sat behind the guy who yelled WOO at least 100 times, right in my ear, and laughed at everything. Must have been the $400-an-ounce bag. I am a magnet for these folks.
