Anticipation was high even from the announcement of the recording session. We knew from the night of the live recording, when we had a standing room only crowd and people had come from everywhere in the US and there were international attendees that this was going to be something unforgettable. The love that we are being shown from people who knew and loved Tommy’s works has been really been heartwarming. Excitement is flowing all around.”
