On the way to Radio City Music Hall for the 2:00 show.  The 10 mile ride took almost 55 minutes thanks to midday rush hour.

It's a given fact you will spend a lot of times in tunnels or on bridges on the way to Manhattan.  We'd choose the bridges over the tunnels anytime. The view is better and there are much fewer fumes.

View of Grand Central Station from being stuck in the middle of the road.  We learned quickly that a New York Second is the length of time between when a light turns green and the first horn goes off.

The lobby of the Radio City Music Hall. Right after I took this photo, the usher warned me that might camera would be confiscated during the show if I took pictures. Yeah, boy, I'm worried...

The gift shop in the lobby.  Not a big crowd before the show, but a HUGE must see afterwards. Even we stopped by for purchases.  At least to get a Radio City shopping bag.

My music CD eventually would set off the alarm inside the Warner Brother's Store. :o)  BUSTED!

When the two Mighty Wurlitzers roared out of the curtains playing Christmas carols there was a waterfall of flashbulbs going off.  Let's see those ushers confiscate 2000 cameras now.

Not sure why the guy on the right had to play without music. Maybe he left it in the cab? Or the 40 mph wind gusts blew it out of his hands on the way to the show?

Even though this was probably their 100th show of the season, it was as energetic as their first.  Every seat in the hall was full at show time.
