(Barring some last minute made for TV miracle) last night was Rick Berlin's last ever show at Jacque's. I have never, in my life, seen an artist throw more emotion at an audience than Rick did last night. It was absolutely beautiful and I'm sad that I'll probably never get to see this man play in such an environment ever again.

For the rest of my life, that performance will be the standard to which I will judge "all-out performances."

Also, to Boston's credit, he had a good crowd to play to.
