Unreal lights and sound!!!! So many awesome people and tooooo many girls!!!

I have loved Little Hurricane since I caught them appearing on one of my channels on Sonza and Pandora.

Fantatstic afternoon and evening of racing entertainment. I've been to many flat track races, but this was my first mile. I was blown away.

getting out of our heads by getting into our heads. well played, sir lockett.

Pegi was great and the Survivors are the most rockin' band I've had the pleasure to be in a room with. And I say room, it was so intimate, the band hung around and chatted and thanked us for coming. Great show, go!

Seeing Big and Rich for first time was awesome.Had left the event with tears and determined heart to keep seeking all things positive in life. Larry brought laughter and Wynnona lit up the room with her soul voice. TERRIFIC NIGHT

Occasionally I get teased for seeing the same bands repeatedly and ignoring new bands. So, I took a chance (free tickets always help there) on one of the seemingly endless parade of \u2018Buzz-worthy , \u2018indie , \u2018hipster , \u2018from Brooklyn bands. Climbing Soapbox Here: I must be old, because I can t tell one of these bed-sit bands from another and dammit, they need more than one song each with a decent hook. Opener Earthquake Party had it right slinky beats, dual vocals, stage presence and actual melodies! Headliner Tanlines had that all, too but just for one song! The other 40 minutes was spent waiting around for that one song.

If you are going to this performance do so for the band and not the singer. I understand that live music is impromptu but she does more talking than singing and her singing is questionable. The musicians however we're great mainly the keyboard and the bass player they made the performance. Keep in mind that even though you purchase your tickets for this show there is a $20 minimum purchase on food or beverage.

I was so excited to see this band perform the entire album of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in celebration of the album's 45th Anniversary and they did not disappoint. They literally rocked it out of the park and everything from the costumes, which were handmade by Kenny, to the vocals and the band's performance was spot on. It was a high energy show and lots of fun and Kenny is so like Elton during the period that they were portraying, that there were times that I forgot that this was a tribute band and not the real thing. It's sad that some people gave poor reviews based solely on the fact that they didn't pay attention to what they were paying to see. The band's name is Elton - The Early Years, but it was clearly advertised by both the venue and the band that this was a show focused exclusively on the 45th Anniversary Celebration of the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album and when a band is hired to perform a specific album, they are bound by contract to perform only what the venue hired them to do. I highly recommend this band and I never grow tired of seeing them perform as there are always new surprises and a variety of Elton's greatest hits added to their repertoire when they are not contracted to do a specific album.

While planning a short trip to Portland we saw that The Gloaming would be playing at The State theatre near our hotel. Attending the performance was the BEST part of our vacation. The music was outstanding and watching Martin Hayes on the fiddle was something I will not forget.
