Lord, Theres a Stranger In My House

The most amazing concert ever! Nino sounded and looked great. The love he feels for his fans was apparent. After all these years, Nino is as humble as ever. Fame ruins most people, but fame has made Nino great. His love of his country and city are stronger than ever. Viva NAPOLI.

Ryan Montbleau Band is my favorite band ever. A bit over a year ago, I saw them for the very first time at the Tralf. A friend turned me onto a bunch of their music - I was going through a really crappy situation in my life and their music and lyrics spoke to me. Over the course of 2011 - 2012 I had seen them 9 times in a variety of venues. This time was my tenth time to see them, I thought it was cool that it was also the first place that I saw them. Over time I have become acquainted with Ryan and tweeted to him my favorite song, requesting that they play it as it was my 1st and 10th show. I was so very pleasantly surprised that they did play "Love and Love Lost". It was the only time I'd heard them play it live in all of the shows I had seen and they killed it! I love the Tralf - great staff there, super layout and amazing acoustics. I highly recommend Ryan Montbleau - I can't say enough about them and I certainly recommend the Tralf as a "must go" venue!

As a long term fan of the three male singers in Lunch at Allen's, I had fairly high expectations of an enjoyable performance. The actual performance delivered all that I hoped for, and more. All performers were in top form, delivering old hits as well as new compositions. I wasn't familiar with Cindy Church, so her performances were a pleasant surprise, as was the humorous patter between songs. The only change that I might have seen as an improvement would be having a few more songs where more than one performer shared the vocal spotlight. Performers showed exceptional skill (and unselfishness) in backing up the others when it wasn't "their turn", but I would have loved to see what they might have come up with on arrangements and significant contributions to each other's songs.

The Dolls were very good. Johansen is very charismatic without trying at all. It just seems to come naturally. The new players are all solid, seasoned vets who know how to rock. The Altar bar is a great venue and our cute waitress was a treat. My only complaint was the lead singer; guitarist of Wizard Bomb was a joke. He tried every rock cliché in the book. He was trying so hard to be cool that it was quickly apparent that he was not. What a self centered dork. He was like a dead serious Jack Black up there. He did everything he could to overshadow the rest of the band. I'm still pissed that I had to watch him for a 50 minutes. It was 47 minutes too long. Too bad, they had a decent sound and a great drummer.

An incredible show that tested the senses. Wonderful sound and playful interaction between the artists.

Show started late but Banks and Vado made up for lost time. For my first hip hop show it was amazing.

I went to see Derek Trucks with little idea of what Susan Tedeschi did beyond singing. What an incredible show! Susan is a phenomenal performer. They performed well beyond midnight with extraordinary energy! One wonders if Derek and Susan speak to each other at home using their guitars : ) The whole band was unforgettable, the trumpet player is a show in himself.

Well worth the wait in the cold December evening in a St. Louis winter. Everyone at the Pageant was incredibly nice, it was impossible to get a bad seat. They had coat check for $2 which was a great deal, and Ludo had Christmas characters handing out hot cocoa and cookies to the people waiting outside, and then we were greeted by cookies when we came into the seating area. You could take pictures with Santa (I think they were free), and the entire stage was decorated for Christmas. The show started about an hour late, but it was well worth the wait. Ludo had two opening bands, Option//Control was first, and they were decent. I believe they are a local St. Louis band, and they were okay performance-wise. They opened with a Christmas song. Treaty of Paris went on after them, and they were incredible. My husband and I loved them, after they went off, while Ludo was setting up, we went to the merch booth and bought their CD for $5. Ludo went on and the performance was spectacular. Easily best show I've ever seen. Perfect mix of songs from all 3 of their albums and Broken Bride.

The Children's Theatre was perfect! My young child and teenager both enjoyed the play! We can't wait to go see the next show!

The Elvis Birthday Bash was awesome. The 2 acts \u2014 done by Scott Bruce and Mike Albert \u2014 were very enjoyable and a great tribute to Elvis. The guys told stories and facts that you may or may not have known. The fans are incredible, too! I recommend this show again ! See you next year !!!
