Azalea Festival: Queens Dinner and Ball

For those of us who are familiar with Damon (AKA, Badly Drawn Boy), we know to expect the unexpected! He is a perfectionist and can be moody. (As some have pointed out in other reviews!) However, he is honest and wants to please. I saw him at Lincoln Hall and it was one of the warmest, most touching, accoustic performances I have ever seen. I think Chicago got a little lucky in that he was settled in with the fact that his band could not be with him, and that most of the sound issues were ironed out. The Sound was amazing! That aside, Damon is one of the most beautiful songwriters today. I could sit and listen to him play guitar all night, and that is pretty much what he did. His lyrics came across beautifully with heartfelt meaning in every word. He was compelling. His guitar playing was stellar as well was his voice. It was such an intimate setting with Damon so close. I loved how he interacted with the crowd, asking for requests and sharing stories. He was very "up" and very funny! His comaraderie with Justin Jones (opening act, also very good) was awesome. Justin joined Damon on stage for percussion and that was a nice change of pace. The crowd attending knew Damon and his music and he definitely felt that affection towards him. He gave a lot of himself and in the end did not want to leave. It was a fantastic show that I am still thinking about days later. The song set was extensive. And it appears he's mixing it up each show. Love that! Real fans will really appreciate this tour. It's different from his last outing. And I can't wait for his next!

The band is tight and they know every Clapton song from every era and not just the hits. They do different sets each year which is why some of us keep coming back yearly to see them. Or maybe it's because it's much harder and much, much more expensive to see the original EC play in a stadium or arena. You won't be disappointed in seeing this band play this EC tribute show or any other show they happen to be performing in. BB's is a very nice place to see a show and have some good food and drink. Try getting smothered pork chops at the Garden!

I wish there were more people there! really great show. Where was the press? Why was her name taken off markee?

The Space in Westbury ; is really amazing - a MUST GO venue.. I was worried about the GA and standing room but it turned out to be fab/up close n roomy- the band was rockin the room and everyone was wiggling!! Great all around...

The band has not missed a step in almost 30 years of thrashing. The energy of the band and the crowd was intoxicating. Best show I have seen in years. And one of the best I have every seen. Period.

You can't fake the funk. Great show, jammed all night, lead singer is fabulous

The guys were outstanding entertainers and pretty HOT too!!

great time great show. We had a nice dinner and a show. the food was good but a little hard to see the food because the theater was dark.

Great New Show!!! Craig never fails to amaze the audience. HIGHLY recommend!

Saw CT on 4/6 @ the historic Howard Theatre. Good/Venue Staff and the management leaves much to be desired- eat before you come.
