Montrose

Great venue cordial staff Montrose stills sounds great . He has put together a skilled band that did a competent job of backing him up.

Great show , The band was on fire , Ronnie has a great sound . I travelled all the way from Pa to go to this show. It was worth every penny. I also love the venue , BB kings is a nice place to see a show , only problem I had was the dinner set up , all night there were waitresses in your face , I am there to see a rock show not eat and chit chat with my buddys. Other than that I go there all the time , staff is very freindly and helpful , and the sound is very good for the shows.

Ronnie was great ! Played all the old favs. the sound was excellant

I saw Montrose at Winterland in like 1974. He sounded good then, and sounded even better after all these years. He played all the same songs. I thought I was back in High School. My 25 year old son was with me, and he enjoyed it also. Not like I did though. Yeeeeaaaahhhh!!!!!

excellent show both bands were great theatre really nice

sitting 7th row at the the Napa Uptown theater for Ronnie Montorse was one of the best shows i can remember. i haven't had that much fun at a show in a long time!! he can still shred on his guitars and make an audience go nuts. they were doing a live recording that night, for a live DVD to be released sometime later. there were great song from the first albums, with an awsome singer that could hit any note. there were some select songs from his Gamma albums, and an set with him playing a 1940 Gibson accoutic guitar he bought back in 1973. he can still shred and kick some butt on that one too. some great music. Ronnie was having fun joking with the audience thru-out the show. well.. after 40 years of rocking... who would expect any less. if you are an old rocker from the '70's and '80's.... do not miss the chance to see a true showman. i will gladly go see him again if he's back in Northern Cal again.

Sound quality was great. Really got to see a guy that inspired me to play guitar.

Totally awesome show, still rockin after all these years! Nice job Ronnie

FRESH and incredibly tight.... hot, sweet and sticky abound! EVERY SET WAS FRESH and delivered with intense energy. The group was the fun with mr. Montrose truly rocking the nation... again!! Aloha

Great show, great sound, great venue. Montrose rocked and the opening act Michael Lee Firkins was awesome, although it was a short set. The Venue was real intimate, we were in the back and you could hear them talking onstage without a mic as long as the crowd was quiet. I'm glad I got to go, and I will be looking for more shows in the future.

Ronnie rocked it hard. Had a great vocalist! Venue was incredible. Played every song you wanted to hear, EXCEPT Good Rockin Tonight. I don't get it. Other than that big mistake the show was flawless!

Show overall was very good,Wish I had a better description of seats.Probaly my fault for not getting more info.A theatre setting,I prefer concert setting, some room to move,dance.Music was fabulous,the atmosphere coming into the building,you felt something special was going on.It was special.Michael Lee Firkin"s enjoyable .Montrose was incredible.Still in awe of the special acoustic set,Connection was sooo cool.Firkin's came out for bad motor scooter,great show..GREAT NIGHT WAS HAD BY ALL i HOPE.

It was a great show, but Ronnie was into himself too much and his arrogance I didn't care for at all.

A great setlist from early Montrose, a few Gamma songs, and a solo song or two. Hard-edged rock and roll with an acoustic set to throw in. Check out the DVD of the night coming out soon.

Ronnie Montrose and his band gave a great performance. Bass and drums kept pushing Ronnie to play hard. Lead singer was great, considering he had a cold. Loved every minute of it. Hard rock at its finest.

Montrose show was very cool. The singer had great pipes. The classic Montrose tunes from the first Montrose album were pulled off great. Ronnie was on and was pretty funny during the breaks between tunes. For me the highlight was fight to the finish from the first Gamma album. Gamma was an awesome band and the first three albums are classics, and of course the first Montrose album is probably the greatest pure rock album ever. Great show, not to be uncool, the drummer was pretty basic and did not have the chops as the rest of the band. Hope to see Ronnie again soon and look forward to seeing the DVD of the show as this show was being taped and Ronnie said this is the first show in his career he has recorded for video. I would give my left you know what to see a video of a Gamma show. Ronnie still rocks!!!!!

Very good show; however, too much talk, too many long interruptions between songs/sets. Very happy they played Space Age Sacrifice. New lineup quite good! Would see again, but want more continuity in performance and less banter. Love Uptown Theater!

Amazing show.. would recomend to everyone, all ages.

Yes this was a great show, sure I wish Sammy H. would have been there. And I would have liked to hear Town without Pitty. But B.B. KINGS was Top Notch. They upgraded our seating to right up front we arrived early.

I've been a big Ronnie Montrose fan for many years. This concert was primarily an opportunity to see him performing his early hits when Sammy Hagar was still with the band. It is amazing that they were able to find a lead singer that sounds so much like Sammy. The show had great energy and all the early favorites were played including Bad Motor Scooter, Rock The Nation, Space Station #5, Rock Candy and I Got The Fire. It is clear that all band members thoroughly enjoyed performing. Ronnie has a special joy and connection to the audience- occasionally exchanging dialogue with them between songs. As great as this performance was I have only given 4 stars since I saw Ronnie in Santa Rosa, CA about in 1994 promoting his Music From Here album and that performance was beyond belief. My wife and I left stunned at the musical tour de force and experience. So as great as this show was, we know there is another level higher that Ronnie has performed at from a creativity and complexity standpoint. Reference the song Feet First off of 'Roll Over and Play Live' to hear what I am talking about. Intense, dynamic and intricate, A true journey.

It's great to see Ronnie out there . He sounded great and his backing band just rocked the house! But I have to worn about the venue. To sit at a table you have a $10.00 minimun per person per set just a little high. We are in the worst ression since I was born. The food was pricey and it was horrible. It was so dark I could'nt read my tab so I did,nt notice the $6.90 gratuity added to my bill,plus I gave the waitres a$10.00 tip to boot! B.B. you should be ashamed of yourself. My advice If you go there for a show,eat somewere else and stand you will still see great and save a boat load!

One word for this show...WOW. Ronnie still rocks out big time. I knew this would be a great show but they even blew away my expectations. Aside from a small amp problem the show was flawless. The older bands still rule as the heavy hitters.

All songs but 2 were from his first 2 albums that Sammy sang on. 1 from 3rd album and 1 from gamma. The funnest , loudest guitar concert I have ever been to. If u loved him in the seventies u will love this concert!

I had wanted to see Ronnie for years and they never seemed to make it through Portland. Well, they were here and they rocked it. Ronnie has all the chops and the singer (dare I say) sounded better than Sammy could have (I am a big Sammy Hagar fan). Great bunch a guys playing with Ronnie and they were really cool with the crowd. Ronnie signed merchandise after the show and was very cordial with his fans. Overall a must see for any rock fan.

show was great, opening act was good and i thought Ronnie had his work cut out. then damn, brought it from the get go and the kid doing the vocals made the old songs his own. Great show, not crowded (short beer lines) and definitly worth the money!

The Montrose concert that we attended Sunday night was almost one of the best concerts that we have heard in our three years here. We did not sit the entire time! His lead singer went far beyond expectations, even better that Sammy Lee Hagar. Ronnie himself seems younger now than he did the last time we saw him. We will definitely go to see him again!
