Those Darn Accordions

The show was pathetic. Uninspired. Really bad...in fact depressing. Please note: I'm not some kind of negative naysayer - with nothing better to do than to diss a show...but I had to comment on this one. 10 minutes into the set and no one was dancing - except one poor soul in the front row waving his arm around (probably on crank). Uber-minimal lighting and no displays. Be clear on this - if you think those great visuals will be behind Amon at his dj set - they wont. Nope! Just him standing there - barely moving - tucked under his baseball cap - on a blacked out stage. So it's no surprise that the audience was just standing there too (not in awe mind you) but waiting for something (anything) to happen. No shouts from the crowd, no whistles, just nothing. Far worse than a snooze-fest...it was downright sad. The music he was spinning was a forced pairing of trance and hip-hop - an audio nightmare that sounded like mud pouring out of the speakers. It was loud and garbled (not deep and crisp). We left before it ended...couldn't take more. For those of you who were there and liked the set - ya simply gotta get out more! I've been around the world in pursuit of great music, electronica, dj's, etc. I met my wife in Ibiza (in 2000)...and I'm no rookie to the scene. Just this month I've seen Lee Foss, Porter Robinson, Calvin Harris, Freq Nasty and even Ellie Gouldiing to mix things up. Let me tell you - if you've got 25 bucks eating a hole in your pocket - skip the next Amon Tobin dj set and get yourself a nice meal - then go see a real show down the road...you'll be glad you did. Don't believe me? I took a photo...notice the one hand in the air in the front. Sigh...

Super event, super location. It was very nice. Not good- at the end of the concert was not enough T- Shirts available ;-)

The Bar Kays was my first concert I've ever been to 8/26/1978 Chicago, IL soldiers fields. I still remember the drummer was playing the drums while they where on fire rising in the air. 38 years later same outfits and all they still rocked it out. Good for you, still at it.

Great night of great music--venue is intimate and enjoyable. A "real close" expeirnce not gotten in more typical concert venues.

Great performers...had the audience with them all the way. Each act was full of personality and talent. For a little while we were young again.

Had SO much fun, seeing American English. Don't go to many concerts, but surely didn't want to miss out on this Beatles Tribute Band! They put on a very entertaining show, ( for any age group). Concert was on time, and the intermission was "just long enough". A very memorable night, for my twin & I !! Hope to see them again, when they come back to Holiday Star Plaza.

What a great concert! Four excellent singer-songwriters sharing the stage with their stories and songs. My only complaint is that I would have loved for the show to go on longer. I'll definitely be buying tickets the next time the "Four Bitchin' Babes" are back.

The last time I had seen Rhonda was the Drakesville IA Bluegrass festival. She was around thirteen years old and sang in her families band, The Sally Mountain Show. I have bought several of her CD's, but this was my first chance to see her live since. The show was excellent. My only complaint is that she didn't sing her 70' signature song "Mule Skinner Blues". Other than that, I'll go see her again when I have the chance.

The whole night was very sad and to say it was disappointing would be an understatement. This once great performer, should not be doing shows as he did on June 27, 2014 in Columbia, MO. Singing off key and butchering poplular songs is just not acceptable, no matter what the age of the performer. I have long been a Ben E King fan and will continue to be. However, I will block this performance out of my mind in order to remain a great fan and supporter.

I have seen Rod and the Mighty Flyers many times going back to the late '80s. A Mighty Flyers show can be best summed up in 3 letters: FUN. This is the best live-performing blues band around. The caliber of the musicianship and the quality of the songs are top notch - and this band gets you on your feet jumpin'. As a piano player myself, I'm pretty partial to Miss Honey. When she rocks the house with one of her stunning boogie-woogie piano solos - you will know you have been rocked !!!!
