Raggamuffin

The show was great. The lineup was very good. I would have recommended putting Taurus Riley just before Gregory Isaacs and Barrington Levy. Taurus puts on one hell of a show. I saw him at SumFest in Montego Bay in 2009 and he brought nearly the same energy to Ragga Muffins in Oakland!

Was a BLAST!!!! Peace and Love throughout the place!!!!

The Fox Theater was THE place to watch live music - having all those fabulous artist (SOOOOOOOO AMAZING HAVING TARRUS RILEY THIS YEAR!!!!!!!) at the Fox (instead of the Civic Center) was an awesome decision! Not a bad seat in the house!

Such an Incredible show! I took my Boyfriend and 2 friends and we had such a Blast! I would Definately go back!

Irie, irie! These old-school roots-style artists came through in a righteous fashion . . . one after the other . . . each one outdoing the last. Way to work the crowd and bring some postive vibrations to the Oak.

Great lineup of talent., but the sound system was sub-.standard. I know & love the heavy bass line that accompanies good Reggae, but this was so muddled you could not hear the the vocals. Gregory Issacs was drowned out. On the last two sets by Barrington Levy & Cocoa Tea, they seemed to finally get a good mix & their performances were the most enjoyable of the night. Great crowd, fantastic setting !!

The reggae concert was very good and I really enjoyed it! I took my boyfriend for the first time and he enjoyed it also!

The raggamuffins show was much better when it was in sf at the civic center. I found the sound to be terrible and the groups performing this year disappointing. it seemed like an oldies show. Where are some of the Marleys??

The Fox Theater is a fabulous venue. Having local vendors on each floor was a nice touch as well. The staff at the Fox are great...which makes seeing a great concert there all the better. Biggups to my usher (never got his name)...but he was the best! EVERY artist on the ticket was awesome....the crowd's vibe made them perform at their best. I went mainly to see my boyfriend...Gregory Isaacs! His voice was as clear as a bell. He melted my heart with "Night Nurse"!!! Then Barrington came in and wore a sistah out!

The show was awesome, but too loud, I was in the Mezz and you couldn't understand a word, if you didn't know the song you wouldn't what they were singing. But otherwise, I had a very good time.

Went with high expectations. The Fox is so hot now! And the line-up was great. Couldn't wait to hear Gregory Isaacs. But we couldn't hear him. The sound was terrible and we left after he performed. The very excellent Michael Rose was on before him as a substitute for Capellton (?) but we had trouble hearing him too. And it was very distracting to have the people in front of us, who didn't have reserved seats, fight to stay in the seats they had snatched. I wish the ushers would have had them leave. They had the nerve to complain about us because they were there first and wanted OUR seats. What is so hard to get about seats being reserved? I"m not sure if we will go next year. We have been Reggae fans for over 30 years and this was disappointing.

The show was amazing! All the bands were had great sound and I will go back every year.

This was a long nite, mostly waiting for each set to start, even though they used a very good standard backup band for all headliners, with the exception of Michael Rose, who had an amazing drummer and congo/percussionist. Gregory Isaacs seemed like he was lipsyncing, and was kinda lax. Barrington Levy was cool, but he's almost like a showman, same deal, every show, m-u-r-d-e-r-e-r, back and forth with the crowd. Overall it was a long nite to wait for each band to set up even though the dj music was probably the best I've heard, acoustics were awesome at the Fox. The only performance sound issue I had was the vocals, not clear, fuzzy and loud. Although, since they spent so much time between sets, the basics were very clear and talented, bass, lead, keyboard etc., drums. I will not do this kind of concert indoors again, unless I just relax and sit back enjoy. Or just go and see my favorite headliners, not this jammed pack, overpriced, overrated festival concerts. Not worth it. Too long and not a great lineup. Left before Cocoa T, feet hurt.

amazing, finally ragga has the jewel so well deserved!!

GREAT SHOW AND THE FOX THEATRE IS THE BEST. MANY IRIE MOMENTS AND LOOKING FFORWARD 2 2011. JAH RASTAFARI!!

a great time every year-good lineup-good vendors-it would be nice if there were more vendors and food....

It was worth paying money to go to this concert. Gregory Isaacs did not disappoint me at all. Even in his old age he still sounded the same and put it down!

One of the best gatherings and collections of exqusitely beautiful faces I've been to in the bay area. The Fox theatre is an amazing venue. Top notch event all the way around
