I have been a fan of Loreena McKennitt since the late 80's and early 90's. I bought "The Visit"after hearing the CD at a friend's place and shortly thereafter acquired all the CD's then available. I was fortunate to attend her Jack Singer Concert Hall Tour in Calgary, Canada on May 15, 1994 and at the Southern Jubilee in Calgary on the 12th of August 2013. Both performances were extremely good.
This tour was somewhat different having fewer band members (I was looking forward to the Hurdy Gurdy player and the Oudd player as I had told my fellow attendees of these unique instruments.) However, that was not to be, but it didn't detract from the long-awaited return to Calgary performance.
As usual, Loreena's magnificent voice and lyrics were enthralling. The musicians rendered a flawless performance, and each was proficient on several instruments. Such a truly talented group of people - such a privilege to attend in person.
I truly hope it will not be so long before her next concert here.
