Performance NotesOscar Peterson, aged 80, took to the stage for two and half hours with an interval.

"The standing ovation that greeted the stooped figure in the baggy grey suit as he hobbled off at the end, supported by his drummer, was one of the most oving farewells I have ever witnessed in a concert hall."
(The Daily Telegraph, 1 July 2006)
