When it was first announced that Glen Hansard was going to be playing the Eccles Theater, my initial thought was, “I’m definitely going to that show!â€Â But as the summer concerts were announced, I had a real dilemma on my hands. Two other shows that I wanted to see were announced for the same date. This was a problem. (I know, “Poor Kevin, he has to choose between three concerts to go to!â€) I’m not saying it’s a bad problem to have, but one I didn’t anticipate.
One was a band that I’ve always wanted to see, and another that was playing their farewell tour. What to do? As I weighed my options, the thing that came to mind was “Which of these shows will you regret missing the most?â€Â Glen Hansard was the answer every time. I was not disappointed with my decision. Glen played a two-hour, ten-minute set befitting of the beautiful downtown theater hosting his concert.Â
