The final helping of Ambrosia came in the form of 1980's, "Biggest Part of Me" from their "One Eighty" album as this wrapped up the show. Before docking in port there was one last wake left in the harbor; the encore which featured the entire cast ensemble.
This two song medley began a bit auspiciously and was really the only blemish on an otherwise night of smooth sailing. It seems there was a mishap with modern technology as the tablet that apparently had the lyrics in plain view went on the fritz. So the song (which this reviewer was unable to decipher) quickly became a rockin' blues jam and after a short pause broke into a far more familiar piece led by Burleigh Drummond's pounding of the skins; Led Zeppelin's,"Rock and Roll."
A second standing ovation moored the yacht in port and the voyage ended at 9:48 p.m., more than two hours after it set sail. The impressive thing about these types of shows is not only the performances by these experienced musicians but also the response from those in attendance. The mostly 50 something demographic had its smattering of 20 to 30 somethings as well; yet age didn't matter as all sang, swayed and danced in the aisles just the same.
Music leaves impressions and strikes chords and many on this night laughed, reflected and some even cried but what no one did was go away disappointed.
