The show was just great yesterday for the SOI Chicago area. It's so surreal and while my daughter saw the show last year with a pal, I never had. What a thrill and honor to see Nathan live and what a round of applause he received. I have more info up on the SOI thread. Daughter got to meet him this time at the M&G. His skating is just beautiful.

Nathan fans, you can rest assured that he still has it! Wow, he looked VERY sharp at the SOI show. On TV, you just don't get the sense of his speed like you do in person. He has grown by leaps and bounds in his performance and projection skills. The audience was having a great ole time watching him, and he was having fun right along with them! I remember when he first started doing some of the ice shows (mainly I would have seen him online in the Japanese shows), he didn't reach out to the audience quite like he does now.

I have always loved his Caravan program, and I would have LOVED if he had done that one. I can imagine the audience wildly clapping along to it and really getting into it. He (along with Kurt Browning and Jason) was considered to be the star of the show, and he got rousing cheers from the audience. All in all, a really fun time. I hadn't been to SOI since the 90's, so it was fun to go again! So glad I made the decision to go.

Arriba, a friend of mine had on ice tickets for Chicago and concurred with what you said, and that Nathan is so smooth and powerful. Thanks for the report!
And when they say ON ICE, they REALLY mean on ice. A couple times, I think I would have been a little nervous, had I been in the front row. One mishap and you would have had a skater in your lap, which isn't necessarily a bad thing! :laugh2: I've seen Nathan multiple times live (usually at Nats and Sk Amer), so I've seen him fly. This was even better though, because they can skate so much more freely without having to fulfill all the technical requirements. I assumed he's been staying in good shape, since he has a lot of Japanese ice shows coming up.
