I've been listening to diesel boy for over ten years, been to many shows. This show was embarrassing. The house of blues sound board guy didn't know what he was doing, the sound was distorted through his entire set. Diesel boy my friend, you need to go back to spinning wax, not CDs that quit playing and ruin your set. You should be ashamed.

Gary Lewis and the Playboys played first - Gary smiled, told great jokes and sang all his hits! Couldn't have been better. Then, Gary Puckett came on and sang his hits in his fantastic voice! Finally, Peter Noone - still as cute as he was in the '60's. He sang all his hits and even did a wonderful impression of Mick Jagger!

this was a very good concert and I can't wait till they come back.

Having the original lineup back is amazing, Steve is a wonderful drummer, and Dave is a fabulous guitarist. Can't wait to see them again.

VERY WELL STAGED AND PREFORMED. WAS NOT A BORING SHOW. GREAT MUSIC. WOULD GO AGAIN.

I enjoyed the show. I like the set changes and that they considered the instruments used during the periods (John playing the tobacco burst Casino, then the natural Casino for example). They did a good job.

The Band was in good form that nite, soon as they started playing the mosh pit started. Great show

This was great. Watching kids playing for the love of the game. Not highly recruited semi pro athletes playing for one year in a step to the NBA not caring what team they're on as long as it gets them a high draft pick. Great cozy venue with great customer service. My only regret is that not more local fans come out to cheer on some great talent.

Great music delivered w/ passion & precision. Good crowd...event started on time.
