I've only seen Jorma once, on July 14, 1979 in Asbury Park NJ. While my buddies and I we really enjoyed the acoustic set, we actually left halfway through the electric set, as the band seemed to be jamming endlessly, with little direction or purpose. That may have reflected the fact that Jorma himself was a bit directionless at the time, even experimenting with some punk music, which was far removed from his musical roots. By the way that's just one of only two time I ever left a concert early. The other was a Billy Joel show in February 2006, but that has nothing to do with the music. In gact the show was fantastic, but the forecast that night was for 20 inches of snow and we had an hour ride home by car from Madison Square Garden. So we left before the encore, and just managed to make it home before the worst of the snow hit, though it did take a 1/2 hour to make the last 10 minutes of the drive!
This webcast recording captures Jorma at his ranch in Pomeroy, Ohio on August 29, 2020, 7 years ago today. Jorma, like many other artists, kept in touch with is fans during the COVID quarantine period in 2020-2021 by playing live shows and broadcasting them on the web.
