100 Proof (Aged In Soul)

If you know this band and they come to your town and you don't go see them, then shame on you. One of the best shows that I have been to in the last 20 years. They were spectacular. Don't miss them.

This was a bucket list trip from Scotland to BB Kings Speakeasy NYC to see Oleta Adams perform, a very big deal as I had waited since early 80's to have the privilege. I never uttered a sound throughout. A voice that has the power to induce an emotional reaction like no other, a voice with such depth and colour every song is truly unique !!. NEVER have I heard a voice like Oleta Adams , She sang and played piano effortlessly and her band - including her husband on drums John Cushon - played an unbelievably accomplished set ( in awe Mr Cushon ) . She played a varied set list from all her albums. A beautiful soul , she gave us all a little piece of wisdom on the true meaning of love. With a sharp intake of breath from the crowd when she revealed she is now 65 yrs old...Ms Adams showed a quick sense of humour, and remarked ...."black don't crack" The only blot on the gig was the big voice from the little new yorker when she heard the opening bars of 'Get Here' ....shouted " that's my karaoke song" !!!. At the very least bad mannered and not concert etiquette! The name Oleta Adams and karaoke should never be in the same sentence !!! Next stop Holland !

Marvelous songs, incredible playing, beautiful lighting -- great way to bring in the new year! I heard they were doing 24-track audio and running at least 4 video cameras, so I'd say it's likely the show will be released as a DVD before long. Only downside was bringing up the singer from the obscure band Squirrel Bait to do one of their songs that wasn't very entertaining or interesting.

The show was amazing! They played the classics, sounded great, and met with fans. Down to earth guys who don t have an ego. The venue was cool as well. Cheap drinks and there isn t a bad spot to watch the show. Thanks AF for swinging by!

After the daytime show it was great to see another show. Seeing ALL and the Descendents in one day like a dream come true

How cwould two unique musicians be better? When they meld so well together! Their new material is excellent and their interpretation of previous works were glorious. Jon lost his voice on a couple of songs, but he did not lose his enthusiasm! Looking forward to getting their new CD!!

What an inspiration! She talked about her new book and performed pieces of music and spoken word with video accompaniment - taking us through the decades of her collaborations with William Burroughs, her installation art with a prisoner in Guantanamo, her cloned male counterpart, her virtual reality project, a Tai Chi demonstsration, and so much more! Laurie is poised and hilarious and unexpected all at once. I recommend any artist of any medium to watch this inspirational show. She lives and breathes her art and eloquently describes her experience.

I became a big fan in the mid/late '70's & saw Joan for the first time in mid '80's, at The Tower in Philly. Seeing her perform at The Scottish Rite Auditorium the other night was beyond all of my expectations! Our seats were FAB! The acoustics of this intimate venue honored Joan's perfect voice, her guitars & keyboards. She covered a smorgasbord of songs spanning her 40+ years of composing melodies & lyrics, with apparent ease & comfort. Her sense of humor was in full bloom and her well-earned pride for all of her accomishments was displayed via a narrated slide show. I truly feel that I received a very special gift, having treated myself & my sister, to that Very Special Evening With the-one-and-ONLY... Joan Armatrading! Thank you, Joan!!! Please come back again, sooooooon! Thanks also for signing my poster! God Bless You!

This was a very special concert and tribute to the great John Wetton. Unforgettable performance by Asia. The video tributes interwoven with superb music made for great evening.

The entire show was excellent. Gerald Albright, Jonathan Butler, and Patti Austin were at their best. Each performer was given ample time to shine....and shine they did!
