Best By Far pt.II - Omar: The Shows Over

As mentioned in the proceeding blog the wife and I went to the Omar concert at Sugarhill Friday night. What can I say: The brother was tremendous, even better than I expected! Omar performed a nice mix of his songs but seemed to stay mostly with his earlier work. Some of the highlights included "Music", "Winner", "Little Boy", "Outside", "Be Thankful", "Tell Me", "Saturday", "I'm Still Standing", "Ghana Emotion", and a show stopping cover of Roy Ayers "Everybody loves the Sunshine".The crowd moved and grooved to every song, sang every lyric!

As cool as the show was things even got better. A group of us headed over to Landmark Diner to grab a bite and discuss the show, this was cool and then we got a very "twilight zone" surprise. Omar himself came in.

As you can imagine, we were pleasantly shocked, after a moment we introduced ourselves to the man. What can I say, the brother was pure class. He posed for pictures, answered questions, and thanked us for supporting his music. After picking up his food he came back again to shake hands and say thanks again. Pure class ... best by far.
