First of all I apologize for the poor pictures but if you knew where I was sitting you would understand (up in the heavens and I felt like an angel 
). The up close pictures were taken off the giant screen. After several hours of palpatations of the heart 
I was able to put together a little video with my pictures listed below. The song is "February Song" which is my favorite. Josh reaches incredible ranges in the song.
Opening act began with Angelique Kidjo. Josh began singing but you couldn’t see him and then he rose through the floor to open the evening with, “You are Loved (Don't Give up).”
Two of his orchestra praised by Josh were violinist Lucia Micarelli and cellist Vanessa Freeman Smith. Of particular note was Lucia Micarelli's powerful Led Zeppelin solo, which blended pop and classical influences and played with such passion.
Throughout the evening, Josh interacted with the audience and accepted gifts from his fans. One of the gifts was a very large sombrero which Josh put on which brought the audience to laughter and applause. He also received a Josh (Jack) in the box which he said kind of freaked him out. He said now I know that my fans think I’m five years old.
One of the things that really made me nervous was after Lucia’s solo, we could hear him singing but couldn’t find him until we saw him walking through the crowd. Security was in tow but you never know what could happen.
Josh sang the duet "Pearls," with opening act Angelique Kidjo. Afterwards, he and Angelique were kidding around as Angelique offered to teach Josh how to dance.
"Lullabye," written with Dave Matthews during a trip to South Africa in which Josh met Nelson Mandela gave an emotional speech explaining the power of his visit and the life of the impoverished people he observed there.
Two encore performances included Josh playing a drum solo and the last song, "You Raise Me Up."
