4/18--San Francisco Regency Ballroom (week of my b-day): awesome show, full band except Dan, venue had room for dancing in front by stage & we took advantage of it. Energetic crowd, TNP had most of us out of our seats. The Regency has great sound. Perfect early b-day present to myself. 5/6--Bellingham: special surprise (to us at least) Kathryn Calder & band were the 1st opening act!! They were fantastic & after the set Kathryn signed my newest TNP shirt. 2nd opening band was ok....then TNP (sans Neko & Dan) hit the stage & really got the crowd up & going. There was a bit of a balance problem with the mics during 1st song but it was sorted out by the 2nd one. In spite of limited space in front people were dancing & filling up the aisles & having a great time.

Watching Ms. Benitez perform onstage is an experience one will never forget! Her presence, her style and her unique contralto voice will mesmerize even those who don't speak or understand her native Spanish. I recommed that you don't miss this exciting event!!!

To start off with, the way the stage is so close to the fans is stellar!! I was right in the front row, and my elbows were on the stage, absolute perfect spot! And leftover crack were amazing like usual!! Hopefully they come back to town soon!

I don't really know how one rates Mikhail Baryshnikov in a show about Vaslav Nijinsky directed by Robert Wilson. I don't think any of us are deserving to "rate" these legends. So I'll just say that the performance was very emotional, very introspected and very deep. Amazing music and lights. Baryshnikov is in crazy control of even the smallest movements, his interpretive dances are incredible. If you don't care about any of these people, it might not be something you'd be interested in.

Hey Mercedes puts on a great show, the whole show was a blast.

The Helio Sequence had their unique sound and style on full display Saturday night, although to a disappointingly only half-full crowd at the venue. Their music was bright and energetic, often very danceable, as many in audience noticed. For what they played, I really enjoyed it. But I doubt their set was more than 75 minutes total, tops. That was less than my 1-way drive time to come see them that night. I would've been happier with a longer set. But for what it was, it was still very good.

One of the best shows I have ever seen in a smaller venue. Played everything I wanted to hear, and some deep cuts I didn't expect. Musicianship was spot on. I was blown away, and can't wait to see them again.

I saw them at Knottfest last night. All they did was scream their lungs off and play their music at 114db to 121db most of the time. All that screaming and loud noise didn't make up for their lack of talent.

Great venue , Great music , Great people! nothing more to say... except HURT was mindblowing!

One of the best shows playing the Kerr. Hope they are booked for a return engagement.
