L.A. Down

I waited for Daniel to play The STL for years. He came onstage first with Rocco Deluca, a singer/musician/songwriter who played steel guitar opposite Daniel, who also played a steel guitar. The music was atmospheric/sonic/ethereal and frankly, after 40 minutes, boring and soporific. Daniel then took a break and then came back onstage to play more familiar material, some from his early album, Acadie some that I did not recognize. The fact that there was no seating in the Duck Room forced us to stand for, not only the hour prior to the show, but the entire show as well. My date left early to go upstairs and sit at the bar. All in all, I enjoyed finally seeing and hearing Dan play. It was more of an experimental studio performance than I was expecting. Still, very interesting.

Bunny Wailer is a living legend and we are so glad that we had the chance to see him live. His show took us through the history of modern Jamaican music, from ska through traditional reggae to more updated forms like dub. Bunny was instrumental in creating all of it, so he performs it all with authority and heart. He did some classic old Wailer tunes, plus some Peter Tosh, but I enjoyed most hearing some tunes that had been unfamiliar to me. Bunny is a phenomenon and his band us phenomenal!

First time seeing both Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets and I have to say that this show was more fun than any rock concert has a right to be. Mr. Lowe was buoyant and emoting British charm while Los Straitjackets are like a band straight out of a comic book. These guys are a hoot with their stunt guitar playing and lucha libre wrestling masks. Haven't been to St. Andrew's Hall in a few years and was very pleasantly surprised at how much they cleaned up their act. Very enjoyable musical night in the Big D.

Mac mcanally is the bearded red haired giant who stands next to jimmy buffer in the coral reefer band. But his song writing talents go way beyond his summer/daytime job. We got to hear songs on solo acoustic guitar, electric guitar and piano. Along with the music Mac has written the crowd got to sing along with 3 favorite parrothead songs. Near the end of the show was an electric guitar version of heard it through the grapevine with Mac playing guitar and piano at the same time.

The concert was very nice. See u next year. Great jazz artist

Ruby Lewis is an amazing Marilyn. And the cast top notch

It's incredible all that perfect power can come from such a tiny woman. It's amazing tiny frame can support the massive mane of hair. Amanda had me from the first song to the third encore. Her voice is better than it's ever been. I can't wait to here some new material. Amanda come back anytime, we'll all be there!

I have been a fan of Dinosaur Jr since the early 90s. I saw them in Boston about 5 years ago. Seeing J. do a solo show was the ultimate experience.

The evening started with Scott solo teaser which was amazing. Peter was in top form during his concert and Mark surprised us with joining the group through the night. I was thrilled they played Heaven Help Us from Still In One Peace CD. The music variety was excellent from old to newer and a segment from the Beatles WHICH I already embraced the pleasure of hearing at SIUE earlier this year. May I say that Peter sang the vintage songs to perfection! Excellent evening, Peter always gives more than your money is worth and a cherished evening with his band. Each member is top form in the music field. The Best your ears will encounter. We follow Peter and Group through the years and I must say, when you think they cannot get any better, they do! Perfection! See you at Stars and Promises!

This event was perfect. I was always told "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"! My party and I couldn't have asked for a better evening. The pre-acts were wonderful, they got the crowd stirred up and feeling IRIE for the mian show. Thank you so much!!!!
