Thanks to the live online streaming, provided by the DLF website, we could enjoy last night's concert in Los Angeles, the second that Donovan offers free on the Internet. The set list was rather unusual, with the well-known hits but also some quite rare songs. Donovan was accompanied by a band and his daughter Astrella Celeste in the majority of the songs, although there were some acoustic solo moments. The set list was as follows:
Nice review...you can chk out eB singing right next to Donovan on the finale, "Atlantis".
A great honor and thrill...
