Great review of the concert from the Edmonton Sun, which says “We should keep an eye on this Tony Bennett fellow. He’s going be huge.”

August 22 – Centennial Concert Hall – Winnipeg, Manitoba

Concert review from the Winnipeg Free Press (that was quick!)
He’s the coolest cat in the Room, according to the reviewer at the Winnipeg Sun … no argument here.

Nice article previewing the concert from the CBC-Manitoba.

August 18 – Ravinia Festival – Chicago, Illinois

Once again, Tony Bennett plays Ravinia in Chicago. The Ravinia Festival has been a Chicago musical tradition since 1904. In addition to reserved seats, a large lawn is also available and Ravinia picnicking is legendary. The Chicago Tribune had a nice article about the upcoming concert, where the author wonders if Mr. Bennett will be in as good a voice as he was last year. Based on the incredible reviews from the recently completed European Tour, I’d say Chicago won’t be disappointed.

Review of the concert from the Chicago Tribune: Tony Bennett in Peak Form at 86.

Review from Chicago Music Magazine: Tony Bennett Mesmerizes …  review includes set list.

Lots of tweets coming in from the performance:
