    I know how to be critical of musical performance and preparation, and I can assure you this is beautiful genius at work. For those of you who can't handle Colin inviting his very talented wife to join him on stage to present another version of his masterpiece, there is probably nothing I can say that would reduce your hate. This is a gift, wether you accept it or not.

    totally agree. the timing is impecable. they are in sync without looking at each other. I know how difficult that is. Haters gonna hate. I pity them for not seeing and hearing a beautiful, touching and heart-warming performance. I am deeply moved by this performance. this is true genius.

    I saw him live, touring his Gathering Mercury album, and it was incredible! He was solo and owned the stage for over three hours! But I wouldn't mind seeing his wife, and her band, touring with him! Colin Hay IS the definition of modern folk music and I'll buy every album he releases. It took some searching but I managed to get even his out of print stuff; just gotta have it. He's just that damn good! His latest, Next Year People, is as good as anything else he's done and still carries itself without Colin sounding like anything he's done before. Respect!
