Stock Show Concert Series

I loved this show. B. J. added some personal stories about his career that I enjoyed. The Casa Manana stage, small crowd, having his family there, I don't know but this was B. J. at his best. I attend all his shows in the metroplex and I can't wait for his next show. Please bring him back soon.

Doug Stone put on an incredible performance. Same sound after all these years. He met with the audience after the show and signed autographs. I highly recommend!

My wife and I gave eachother an early Valentine's present to see Doug Stone in concert. Casa'a intimate setting made for an overall enjoyable evening of memories of "favorites" from the '80's country scene. Doug's voice can still croon out his hits from years gone by. I had forgotten the number of songs that were among his hits. The relaxed atmosphere made for polite conversation with those seated close by before the music began. We didn't stick around, but appreciated that Doug was going to come out for autographs, ect. after the concert. Having an opening act was not a suprise, but the length of their set was; 30 min would have been plenty. I was dissappointed in the size of the crowd, maybe 1/4 full. That probably was more a result of too much competition for $$$'s in today's economy with both the stock show and the Super Bowl festivities going on locally. Speaking of dollars... the 2-$22 tickets ended up costing us almost $80 once we paid for parking. I know the stock show is in town, but I don't recall having to pay for parking before at Casa. If this was stock show related, showing tickets could keep non-concert goers from parking on site. If paid parking is policy now, I'll be parking off-site next time.

I have been a huge fan of Doug Stone for years. I absolutely love his voice, music, and his personality. He always interacts with the audience and puts on an amazing show; and stays after shows to sign autographs, make pictures. I love the smaller venue, Casa Manana. I hope they continue to have concerts there, I really enjoyed it.

The venue was ok. We have seen Doug a number of times. Every time he has been fantastic. I guess he was just having an off night. Most of the songs seemed to be a little rushed and he had problems with his voice. Something about the weather and having a cold. Casa Manana was ok, its the first time we have been there. Nice to have a bar but sure could have used some coffee.

The Bellamy Brothers were great. I would give the concert 5 stars except the opening group was too damn loud.

The performance by the Bellamy Brothers was wonderful. They sounded great and just like their recordings. They played all the good songs and a few new ones too. The only problem was that the theater was just about Half full! I didn't hear anyone promoting the concert on the radio and felt like the Bellamy Brothers deserved a packed house. The crowd was a little underwhelmig until the end, when we all cheered for an encore.

Excellent, intimate concert at a great venue. The Bellamy Brothers should be around for another 30 years!

B.J. Thomas charmed and captivated us from the moment he stepped onto stage! His inimitable voice, stage presence and natural entertainment approach were all we expected and more. The venue lent itself to a feeling of intimacy and friendliness, but it seems like it's just his style and would have been the case wherever he performed. The audience responded to his humorous anecdotes, which were informative and engaging. He can certainly reach the high notes, but his notes in the lower register were like being enveloped in an audible embrace! "Mama" never fails to reach and touch people and from the reactions by the audience, it still holds its magic. It was great to hear our favorites and it's easy to see why his songs crossed over the lines of Pop, Country and Easy Listening genres - songs that are memorable and unique! What an unforgettable performance by a warm, charismatic, talented man! What a showcase for great songwriters like Burt Bacharach!

B. J. still looks and sounds excellent. A little taste of heaven I am sure. We love B.J. Thomas

All their songs are good. A flash from over the years. "They don't have to impress anyone - they just stand up there and play those great songs. Really good. Made me sad that there were so few people there.....! The concert series is a great idea in conjuntion with the Stock Show - but didn't like having to pay $10 for parking.

I don't know how he did it, but B.J. Thomas quite literally turned back the hands of time by 40 years, and sang some of his best songs from the ages. He sounds as good in his late sixties as he did decades ago. A great show that you won't want to miss.

We thought BJ was great. I, for one, however, think that a person who is an entertainer needs to leave his political views to himself and not share with the crowd. It was obvious to the folks around us that there were primarily Republicans. For goodness sake this was an insurance agency sponsored event and he ends a great show with a comment that could have gone without saying. I have always been a fan. I was one of the youngest in the crowd and knew every song, he sounded amazing.

This year marks 35 years since the Bellamy Brother's first hit. The venue was Casa Manana which is a small theater in Ft Worth. There was not a bad seat in the house and ours were perfect. As stated they have been together for over 35 years and they played each song with the same high energy as the last. They played a good mixture of old and new, it was one of the best concerts I have seen.

Excellent venue to get up close and personal to the band!

Wow, what an entertainer, BJ Thomas can hit the notes. Sang all of our Favorites and a couple of new favorites too.... Lot's better in person than my old 8 tracks. LOL Great man, shows in his performance, his Band was great and the Drummer and Keyboard players have been with him 3 decades? This just show how good of a person BJ Thomas is. Would love for this to be an annual Show, next time I will bring some friends.

We all enjoyed the concert! The audience was close to his age, but he still had a voice and the younger people don't know to associate the songs with him. We saw Paul McC so I did not give BJ a 5, but for the price I would certainly recommend it and do it again.

Classic stuff. BJ played all his hits. He's a real performer and showman.

This concert was amazing. BJ was fantastic and we were struck at how he instantly transported us to another place and time. His voice is so clear and rich; he didn't miss a note. His humble and humorous approach to his music was fun. Mostly - the set list was great and I think he recognized his audience misses him. We need to see more!

Wow! I have always loved BJ's voice over the years and jumped at the chance to see him in this smaller, more intimate setting. I was all set to be a little forgiving if his voice was less than what i'd remembered, but no forgiveness necessary! BJ's voice is still one of the smoothest, richest, most beautiful voices out there. He was charming and engaged effortlessly with the audience. He had the necessary showmanship, but his voice was the real star. His band was loaded with famously connected talent; they were comfortably having fun and were perfectly attuned to BJ's style. BJ gave us what we wanted to hear - his long line of wonderful hit songs. This show will leave me hooked on a feeling for a very long time!

Truly enjoyed this show. The venue was intimate and inviting and the sound was great.

The opening act for B. j. Thomas was not advertised in the promotional material. B. J. Was terrific but the sound system at Casa leaves much to be desired.
