Naomi, looking less than half of her 65 years, returned to the stage for "Mama He's Crazy" and "Why Not Me," which were both mass singalongs, even from the dudes who were dragged into the show. The lighters went up too.

An encore of "Grandpa (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days)" and "Love Can Build a Bridge," brought honest-to-Jesus tears to most of the older fans' eyes.

It started to sink in during the beginning lines of the latter that this was duo's final go-round, which made it all the more special and poignant for everyone. The song was written as Naomi's musical epitaph as she retired from the industry in 1991 to fight Hepatitis C. Twenty years later, it's a survivor's anthem of the highest order, for her and her daughter alike.

The pair has reunited twice since they initially parted in the '90s, so the chances of this being the finite end to their run is still suspect to us. But if this is the way they ride off into country-music history, finally, it was a helluva wave goodbye.

Personal Bias: Those '80s singles, man. You can't beat them.

The Crowd: Moms and daughters and super-fans of both sexes. Their seemed to have been a policy against photography, so security was spending a great deal of the show swatting down cellphones and point-and-shoots in the crowd.

Overseen In the Crowd: Pairs of girls dancing in the aisles and by the beer stands, sans men. Seriously guys, we put down the icy bags of Miller Lite cans and grab one of the girls by the hand and make it happen already.

Random Notebook Dump: Seriously, Naomi looks amazing for 65.
