High energy here in Philadelphia for the show.

In some cities the sports arena has an energy of it’s own, sometimes that’s unique to that city. (There’s also the ice rinks below the flooring, which makes afternoon soundcheck at the venue pretty chilly.)

Before show, a visit with Larry Fast, who’s played keyboards on many of Peter’s tours and records.

Drummer Omar Hakim pays a visit backstage

Peter acknowledged, in the audience, the primatologist Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, who’s been instrumental in his efforts making music with bonobo apes

(which reminds me of my priceless visit, years ago, to the project)
