Cannonball unplugged

recently he's playing this live, unplugged without a mic. I'm seeing him at Radio City Music Hall on the 21st and I have 1st mezzanine seats (i got pre-sale, I wanted orchestra!). Will I be able to hear it well even if I'm not right in front of the stage?

He's been doing it for quite a long time. He did it at the Hammersmith Apollo recently too, and everyone was silent. Yeah, you'll be able to hear no problem.

If, for any reason, you can't hear it just grab your mp3 player, sit in a corner and play James Blunt - You're Beautiful. I'd say that would be just as good

Cannonball.....I've always heard that tune as a Whisper....I wrote about it maybe here, but, on another site, I believe I wrote that it was a child's song. Damien, to me, can write a personal lyric that can be just his experience, or a catholic, (small "c"), universal experience.
Before I knew anyone else that knew that song, I was doing a visual of a child sitting in a bombed out street.
It wasnt so much of a love song as it was a Woody Guthrie song or a Dylan, or a U2 song. It became to me a song for a Child in the Street in a war zone.
In the midst of the blasts, perhaps a lullaby is needed to be whispered, mic off. Read the words again, like yer comforting a frightened child, not an ex-lover. That's how I heard it the first time I listened. That Image has always stayed with me.
Perhaps it should be sung unplugged, and very quietly....
A child may be listening.
