U.K.

The concert was excellent. The band played almost all of the songs off of all three UK albums with only a few not included. They also played some King Crimson music. These would include "Starless", "One More Red Nightmare" and "Book of Saturday". The concert concluded with "Rendezvous 6:02". I can't say how much I enjoyed hearing the music of UK. I never expected to be able to hear this music live again and being able to was a great pleasure for me. The UK 30th reunion concert at SF was prog-rock heaven!

Show was awesome! Eddie and John were superb. Marco on drums and Alex on guitar were incredible as well!

I was surprised that there where seats still available for this historic reunion; it brought me back to the days when I saw them play in 77 wettons voice is still amazing

I have always wanted to see U.K.. I was a fan since it's inception, however, I never was able to experience them live. I was very disappointed in the show not because of the band but because of the sound. It was terrible. Terry Bozzio's drums sounded like cardboard boxes and the audio guy missed several cues. For instance,Eddie would start a keyboard solo or John Wetton would start to sing and they couldn't be heard. It was like the sound engineer didn't know the material. I have looked at videos of other tour dates and they sound fine. A major disappointment!

Fantastic! A tad rough in the beginning but once the lads hit their groove, juuust fantastic! After all the years that have past by, they are still extraordinarily gifted musicians.

Loved seeing UK again after all these years. They put on a great show, but it could have been a tad louder. First time I've said that for the Aladdin, the sound there is almost always perfect. That would be the only knock, love the venue love the band

This was not only a terrible show but a waste of my time and money. After the band took the stage (30 minutes AFTER scheduled time) Lead singer John Wetton informed the crowd that he had a cold and was grateful for American Pharmaceuticals. They didn't work. By the second song, Wetton's voice was gone. Extended soloing by the two other band members did not make up for this group's inability to perform. If you aren't feeling well, reschedule the show, or give me back my money. This is VERY unfair to the audience. 100 bucks and an evening of my life I won't get back.

A long anticipated event, the second night of the UK reunion tour (chicago being the first) was a rocky evening for Eddie, John and Terry. Jobson's synth rig acted up for the whole evening. During one breakdown he explained that his keyboards were running four laptops as his rig, or more specifically, he had brought not one single synthesizer to the stage. Sure, the samples he runs are meticulously captured from his original rig, but playing a synthesizer and running clones from a laptop are two different animals. Latency( a delay between hitting a key and a sound coming out) and unwanted swells and drops in volumes were prolific. These are common problems with laptop driven keyboards, but not real synths. This problem hampered several songs, particularly the duet on Crimson's Fallen Angel. Wetton was in good voice on all songs, able to hit the notes that he sometimes fails to reach (it is early in the tour) and Bozzio worked like a madman to cover up the failings of the gear. Overall, not a great show, not a bad show. More like the third night of rehearsals before a real tour starts. Note to Eddie: get some real synths back into your rig and ditch the laptops. Fans want to see some huge gear out there, and a vintage board or two wouldn't hurt. Although this was only their second show in 33 years, it was a bit of a tenuous performance. Needs work.

UK Reunion show was one of the best shows I have seen in a while. They played note for note like the albums.Eddie Jobson is truly a virtuoso.The band was amazing, I pay to see them again in a different place.

these four muscisions put on a fantastic performance, with each one excelling at what they do. the UK musical compositions have stood the test of time and still have relevance today. it is amazing to watch them play the complex structures of the songs with true passion and daunting talent. i hope their reward was the appreciation of their audience, that was blown away. i also hope that they will acknowledge that fan reaction and appreciation and tour again...... i would love to see them again!

I've been hoping to see UK for almost 30 years and it was worth the wait. I never thought I'd have a chance of seeing them, so it was especially rewarding. Overall, it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I hope I don't have to wait another 30 years!

These guys were just awesome. Played most of the 2 UK albums along with some King Crimsom things from Red, Starless and Lark's Tougue. Unfortunately, this was the last show of the tour and Wetton is off to play with Asia next week. Drummer was absolutely a monster and the guitar player rivaled many a guitar slinger I've seen for years. Even my wife loved the show and she's not a real concert goer. If these guys ever play anywhere again, I'd fly halfway around the world to see them again. Absolutely amazing musicianship of the highest caliber.

U.K. opened with "In the Dead of Night", and as everyone held their collective breath in anticipation, the guitarist reproduced the guitar solo that rocked the music world note for note, even reproducing the tone. Awesome. We also got "Thirty Years", "Alaska", "Time to Kill"and most remarkably, 'Nevermore", that last never performed live in the original incarnation of U.K. These were for me the musical highlights. This was more than I could have hoped for, and anything negative must be balanced against the fact that getting to hear these songs was IT for me (the first U.K. is my favorite recording, period). The sound was very poor for no good reason, due no doubt to the hard surfaces of the room. It was early 1970's generic coliseum grade murk. Shows are held in this room somewhat regularly, and it is excreting on paying concert-goers indeed not to treat the reflective surfaces of this room with some absorptive acoustic material. Live sound reproduction has some a long way from the 70's, but one would not know it from the sound quality evidenced in this room. D- for sound quality A for performance

Sure there were just 2 studio albums, and a third 1979"s UK Live for only 19 original tracks, but we have seen careers, reunions and revivals built on much less solid material. 32 years after the final shows of a 3 piece UK. 6 shows over 15 nights in 4 cities saw the affirmation, that UK was and is one of the hottest progressive rock bands of all time. Jobson and Wetton, put on a show, that in musical terms is as strong as any show that Yes, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, ELP, Asia or Pink Floyd have ever played. Prog rock, frequently know for it's excess, particularly in staging, was stripped to the bare essentials Saturday night, great musicians showing their chops on well constructed rock songs, with the emphasis on ROCK! The only questions not answered by the nights performance was what took you so long to come back, when will the DVD be available for sale, and when will you do this again?

They were able to recreate the sounds of this amazing music 30 years later still sounds fresh. Marco's drumming was impeccable, Eddie's capabilities on Piano and Electric violin are unmatched and it was good to hear the original voice of John Wetton still sounding like I remembered it.

These guys were well rehearsed and sounded great. Pretty good for a band that hasn't been together for 30+ years

We're sorry, but we have encountered the following issue(s): Your review text is too short. great show!

Amazing concert by two of my favorite musicians. Two young musicians (Guitar, Drums) were also fantastic, too. I found the sound system at the Regency Ballroom was not that great though. Still it was 'dreams come true' concert...almost cried. Thanks Eddie and John.
