Outstanding venue. Taylor was great as always. His musicians really stood out being as outstanding musicians. Johnny and Jeffrey... owned it! Can't wait for next show.
This was the most amazing acoustic show I have ever seen. Taylor Hicks is an awesome artist. I would recommend that if anyone has not seen him perform live, Go, and believe me you will not be disappointed, he is that good. The show went way too fast, I could of listened to that voice forever. He talked alot which was nice, brings a touch of personal to the audience. Afterwards, he was gracious enough to sign CD's in the lobby. So very nice, just does not get better than that.

Taylor Hicks at the Magic Bag was, without a doubt, the best show I have been to...ever!!! And I have been to many! People who have not seen one of his shows are really missing something great. He is incredibly talented and charismatic. His voice is rich and powerful and it filled the air and the hearts of everyone there. He has a beautiful voice and this acoustic show really allowed us to experience it up close and personal. Beyond that, as if that's not enough, Taylor really interacted with the audience and he seemed to be having so much fun himself. His music is awesome and I for one can't wait to experience it again. I encourage everyone to treat yourself one day soon to one of Taylor's wonderful shows and allow yourself to experience the true artist that is Taylor Hicks!

The concert by Taylor Hicks at the Magic Bag in Ferndale, Michigan on June 22 was perfection. I've seen four other Taylor concerts, and I loved every one of them. But this acoustic show was Taylor at his best. His voice was amazing, powerful, and heartfelt. His repartee with the audience was adorable and charming. The song selections were perfect too, especially "Indiscriminate Act of Kindness" and "Maybe You Should" from his new CD "The Distance". I believe that was the first time he performed those songs in concert before a live audience. I've never been more satisfied after a concert than I was that night. To truly appreciateTaylor he has to be seen in a live performance.

I've been to quite a few of Taylor's concerts, but I have to say without a doubt that this was his best show ever ! I don't think anyone who pulled for Taylor on American Idol should miss one of his shows if they have the opportunity to go, but if you are lucky enough to see him perform accustically in a setting like this it will be a night you will always remember.

What a night! Taylor was in excellent voice, and had everyone mesmorized. What a treat to hear and see him in this acoustic concert! Every song was perfect, with Taylor on guitar and/or harmonica; two more guitar players and the outstanding keyboard player. Taylor seemed to really have a great time; both performing and interacting with the fans. He is such a talented artist! Each time Taylor performs a song, it's a little different, and it's easy to see that he loves performing. Wow...that man on harmonica - Wooooooooo! Firt time for me at the Magic Bag; great intimate venue for Taylor.

One of the best shows ever, Taylor did an acoustic rendition of most of the songs from his new album The Distance....accompanied by two guitars and Brian Less on keyboards. His voice was perfect and his stage presence very funny and personable throughout the entire show.

The opening act was awful, the sound crew was absent, Taylor Hicks performed yet again the same show to a room full of octogenarians that came to see 'That nice young man from down the street.' I hope to never again see Taylor do his chicken dance, his reminiscence on his fleeting fame or his really good but gotten stale cover of Joe Cocker. The sound crew tolerated or was totally deaf to the constant feedback, hum and over mix of the base until Taylor literally stopped the show to get it fixed. The opening act had an amazing drummer that played like Keith Moon totally incongruous with the quasi country balladeer style of the band. The lead singer was a bald tall well built chap with a voice that only emanated from his nose, having a strong desire to communicate his feelings with his hands and singing songs whose lyrics were the distillation of every poor attempt of a country ballad. The word suck doesn't come close. This singer would never made it to a garage band in my world, we would have kept him locked up in the basement. As to the name of this group? I looked everywhere I could think, searched the internet for an hour and couldn't find it. So if the opening band is fronted by a lean 6'3" bald well built fella who talks with his hands, run for the exit. I would only see Taylor again if I had an overwhelming desire to remember his past or my date wanted to go and she was really really really special. It was a bad concert.

Taylor Hicks put on a home town concert at the Lyric Theater in Birmingham, AL. The first set consisted of his own music and included a wonderful new song, Six Strings Are Hard On Diamond Rings. I really hope Taylor releases that one soon. The second set were all songs of Joe Cocker to honor the recently deceased musician. I loved Taylor's take on the Cocker songs, especially You Are So Beautiful, which he sang on the show American Idol. If you get a chance to go see Taylor don't hesitate. He not only sings beautifully, has a wonderful band, but on top of that, he is really, really funny!!

This was an accoustic show.....just Taylor and John Kulnich on guitar. They are great together and the show was a variety of music combined with Taylor's fun banter with the audience. He always meets fans after a show and signs autographs and takes photos. Taylor is a super nice guy who gives 100% plus on stage and boy, can he SING!!!

Everyone knows I am a huge Taylor fan. This was our 5th trip to Vegas to JUST SEE TAYLOR!! We attended two shows...Monday and Tuesday. Taylor puts 150% into his performance. His passion for the music is mesmerizing. Taylor sings covers, songs from AI and his own original music. He is multi-talented - singer/songwriter/musician. His harmonica playing is amazing. He has surrounded himself with fantastic musicians...Josh, Eric and Brian. A must see!!!!

Attended Taylor's show Saturday night - fantastic job as usual. Taylor, Josh Smith on guitar, and Brian Less on keyboards, have great chemistry on stage. Taylor's vocals are stronger than ever and he packs his show with music the entire time. He performed for 70+ minutes non-stop. There was a young man in the front row who is leaving for Afghanistan very soon and Taylor recognized him and dedicated the song, Nineteen, to him. Very emotional. Taylor mentioned his involvement with the Wounded Warrior Project - kudos to him for raising money for this very worthy cause. Taylor is still very humble and numerous times thanked the audience for voting for him on American Idol, stating that he would not be where he is today if it weren't for the show. If you have not seen Taylor perform LIVE you are missing a great show. He is only scheduled to perform at the Paris Hotel for several more weeks -- if you are in Vegas, be sure to catch his show - you will NOT be disappointed. Taylor signs autographs afterwards and is so sweet to talk with every person in line and will pose for a picture with you. Taylor's rendition of In The Ghetto was outstanding with lots of harp thrown in. He did a song I had not heard before "Grandma's Hands" that I'm sure had special meaning to him, as he recently lost his beloved Grandmother. Great guy - great entertainer. Check out his show!! .

My husband and I got to see Taylor Hicks in concert at the Island View Casino in Gulfport on June 7th. The concert was sold out and now I know why! Taylor is the ultimate entertainer. He brings his own style of country/soul/blues/rock to the stage. His band is tight and follows his musical changes with ease. Taylor also talks to the audience in between songs, telling amusing stories from his time on American Idol and afterwards. The set list was varied with songs from his time on American Idol as well as selections from his own albums. Then after the concert, Taylor stayed at the merchandise table signing CD's, t-shirts and posters and taking photos with fans. The line of fans waiting to meet him was very, very long!! I can't wait to see this wonderful musician in concert again!

We are fans and this was our 3rd show in a row. We went to Vegas to see Taylor and he never disappoints. Love his original music and his version of the songs he covers. Something you do not get on a CD is his charisma, facial expressions and body language. He is also a fabulous musician - harmonica, guitar and organ. If you only know him from Idol, you will be SURPRISED at how talented he is. He is a MUST SEE.

I'm not a big fan of Las Vegas. I don't enjoy gambling and the glitzy shows just don't impress me but when I saw that Taylor Hicks was playing at the Paris casino I knew I was headed back there. We had seen his show last year when he was at Balley's and had such a wonderful time. If you get a chance to see Taylor in Vegas, get there somehow. He will give you 110% of his soul on stage and you will come away filled with joy! Taylor's voice just keeps getting better and better. He can belt out a song for sure but unless you attend a concert you won't get to see how well he controls his voice. There are plenty of quiet tender moments in his songs also, especially Maybe You Should which he co-wrote with Mike Reid and Gary Nicholson. Taylor is personable both onstage and off. He talks about each song, jokes with his audience and also signs merchandise and takes pictures with every fan after the show. You can bet I'm being pulled back to Vegas by Taylor Hicks once again!

When people ask us what shows we saw in Vegas...we say Taylor and Taylor!! He is so worth seeing over and over!! What a talent. When Taylor performs he is mesmerizing. We had GA tickets (which were great seats in this venue) for the first night and M&G tickets for the second night (sat in the spit seats - front row). Loved every minute of our shows on April 18 and 19th. These two nights were our 7th and 8th Vegas Taylor shows and we are planning on going back in the fall. Can't get enough of this guy. If you get the chance - GO!! The most charismatic and talented guy around. He can sing kind of music - blues,soul,country.

You might have seen him on Idol singing 90 seconds at a time and thought the guy was very good. But see him with a small band, playing what he wants the way he wants for as long as he wants.. thats when you realize he's not just very good. He is GREAT. So much soul, so much groove, so much power. Really blew me away.

Taylor's show on Saturday, Dec 8 was "over the top". He not only had his very talented band backing him, he added a fiddle player. He was at the top of his game...singing, dancing, inprovising, tagging, as well as killing the harmonica. You NEVER want his show to be over. Taylor also introduced two new songs on Saturday.

I was surprised to have bought general admission tickets and was told at the event we had meet and greet tickets, that was amazing to meet and talk to Taylor HIcks back stage in person, he signed our VIP tags and tickets and we were able to take a picture with him as well that he signed.

Taylor Hicks and his incredible band more than filled the INdigo Room at Bally's with their fantastic sound. Taylor's voice is better than ever. The addition of the Jamie McLean Band is spot on for Taylor's sound. The room is small but Taylor feels it's intimate and brings him closer to his fans. Taylor sings his original songs, The Deal, Maybe You Should, etc. and covers other songs including Elvis standards In the Ghetto and Viva Las Vegas like they were his own. This is an amazing show and the two hours go by so fast so you know it's pretty fantastic because you're immersed in the music the entire time. This show will be back in Vegas in the Fall after he headlines in Reno and then heads East and South in September. See it if you can. It's a Las Vegas experience and you get to see Taylor Hicks take Vegas by storm!

I would like to see him sing with a female performer. Now, the entertainment was great without a female performer but I would like hear him and see him sing we one, and thanks for the photos, they are great.

The show was wonderful. He was one of the best singers I have seen this year. He plays the harmonica and guitar and works with the band by bringing out the best in each of them. He should be in a bigger venue, because I could have watched him for hours. His show was so entertaining that it left me wanting more. I will go back and see it again. He got the crowd moving and you felt like you were part of his show. One of the best show in Vegas right now. If you want to see a great show, go see this show.

Taylor Hicks is the most dynamic entertainer I have ever watched. He is wonderful. He has a great voice and he can really play the guitar. His band is great too. He keeps the audience moving the whole concert. It's hard to sit through one of his concerts. You want to be on you feet rocking out with him. I would see him again. I wish some venue near where I live would bring him here to the Memphis TN area. Every time I go see one of his concerts, anyone who is seeing him for the first time becomes an instant fan. He is contagious!!

This was the first "full band" show I've seen Taylor Hicks do since 2007, and it did not disappoint! His voice is as powerful as and soulful as ever and he is an extremely exciting & entertaining live performer. . Loved his songs from The Distance, especially "Maybe You Should" and "Nineteen." They also did a great version of "Dust My Broom." The band members (Brian Less-Keys, Jeff Lopez-Sax, Jason Parker-Bass, Leif Bondarenko-Drms, Sam Gunderson-Guitar, Jay Smith-Bongos) were all very talented and helped make this an overall wonderful show in the Beau Rivage Casino Theater. Don't miss Taylor Hicks LIVE if you ever have a chance.

Taylor Hick's acoustic show at the Magic Bag was absolutely incredible. He thrilled a full crowd with his unique, powerful voice and a terrific song selection. There was also lots of great, fun, interaction with the audience. The Magic Bag was a great venue to showcase his voice. He performed 15 songs, nine of them from his latest CD The Distance. (Three of those for the first time in public.) His accompanists - all from Taylor's home town, Birmingham, were also great! John Kulinich on guitar, Jason Parker on bass, and the super talented Brian Less on keyboards. If you have a chance to see Taylor in either an acoustic show like this one or a regular full band concert, don't miss your chance. You won't be sorry. He is extremely talented, and a wonderful entertainer and live performer. And that amazing, soulful voice will knock your socks off! Shows are coming up in Atlanta, Biloxi, and Birmingham.

Taylor Hicks performed an acoustic concert at the Magic Bag in Michigan. I've seen Taylor in big venues and small and this is the best show I have ever seen/heard him do. He was sitting on a stool with a lead guitaistr, a bass guitarist and a keyboardist. Taylor played his guitar and the interaction with the 3 other band members was pure bliss. Taylor has a very rich, soulful voice. His latest recording, The Distance, is an excellent mix of blues, country, salsa and soul. His acoustic interpretation was beyond belief. He is so charismatic on stage and passionate about his music that he takes the audience to another place while he's on stage.

Picture a great concert venue with ample seating and uncrowded standing room in the pit. Add a great sound system and a full house full of fans and you have a near perfect evening. The only thing left to make it perfect was the artist. Add Taylor Hicks in an acoustic show with a handful of brilliant musicians to accompany him and you not only have Magic...you do have PERFECTION. Taylor sang music from his new CD The Distance, including some songs he has not performed before. He sang his earlier music as well, each with the passion and blue eyed soul his fans have come to love and expect. However, this concert was special. It was Taylor, a chair, a guitar, and his harp....no fanfare or bells and whistles....just his pure and soulful voice and music that sets your soul ablaze. Add to that the awesome skills of Brian Less on keyboards, John Kulinich on guitar, and Jason Parker on bass, and you have a night of Magical Musical Pleasure!

Having been a Seger fan for four decades and a Taylor Hicks fan since 2006, this show was a must for me. Taylor's vocals were on point, he performed with passion and the band was amazing! He can SING, I'm so happy he's a Seger fan.

Taylor puts on an extremely good show. It was neat to see him play in his element in such an intimate setting. He can flat out sing and his band consists of three other extremely talented musicians. He is funny and not trying to hard to extract a laugh. It's great to see him playing the music he loves and rocking the hell out of it.

Taylor Hicks live is an experience not to be missed. His high-energy performance, heartfelt slow songs and raspy vocals are a combination that made for a fabulous show. I can't wait to see him again.

Absolute waste of money. His band is so loud you can't hear him. Paid $200 (including drinks that were watered down) and he barely played an hour and 15 minutes - he had to rush out to charge people for photos, merchandise and autographs. Was told to be in line an hour early for a venue that barely seats 100 people -- got seated and then had to back out and line up for the VIP meet and greet, which consisted of spme guy taking your photo with him with your own smartphone. His versions of familiar songs were horrible.

Wonderful musician and artist. His soulfulness is unmatched among contemporaries, he gets lost in the music and takes you with him! I only wish the concert was longer (1 hour 15 minutes approx).

We changed our vacation around so we could once again see Taylor HIcks perform. We saw him when he was at Balley's and was thrilled with the fantastic performance. This time i was greatly disappointed. Taylor Hicks didn't really act like he cared he was there. Seemed very distant. Also the performance was way to short for the amount of money we spent on tickets. I love his music and wish that he would once again become the Taylor Hicks we loved from American Idol. He seems to be getting lost in all the hype.

I have waited for years to see Taylor Hicks in concert, especially since he made a residency in Las Vegas. The concert was very entertaining and Taylor had great commentary/comedy between performances.

Taylor should have done more singing and less guitar playing, he sings too good to stand there and have guitar playing specials with locals. I would have much prefered him to do more singing. Also, most concerts are two hours, an hour and a half for the price I paid was not worth it!

The entire performance of Taylor and his group was excellent and thoroughly entertaining . My boyfriend and I were moving to the music. The time went by too fast and we hated to see it end. Taylor is talented, personable , funny, and full of energy. He can really play that guitar !!! And the piano and harmonica. His back-up was likewise very good. We especially enjoyed the "kid". So young to have such talent with a guitar . We want to see and hear Taylor in concert again. Will check to see if he is playing on Vegas soon as we travel there periodically for fun and shows

Had a really good time. I loved his music and he was able to tell a story throughout the show that shared a bit of his life and journey that was interesting. Just wish the crowd would have been bigger for him.

I saw Taylor Hicks show at the Paris in Feb 2013 and it was the best Vegas show I had seen in years. He was personable, engaging, and on top of his songs. In New Orleans, he was distant, and off. The dialogue with the audience was disjointed and vague. The sound system was loud and perhaps suitable for an outdoor arena. I thought I was at a Santana throw back concert. In the after concert photo with fans, he was not engaging and very snooty. I am shocked at the difference in this performance from what I loved in Vegas. I had 7 friends with me and we all were disappointed with 2 people leaving early. Wow. What could have been wrong with him? He did not sing the favorites and was a different person. Bring back the real Taylor.

This is the 3rd time I've seen Taylor live and he out does himself every time! He is so affable and you know that he is enjoying himself. You can also see his SOUL and he has a GOOD one. He makes me smile and feel good the entire time........for all these reasons I voted for him to win American Idol!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT GUY! (and I got a good picture with him too!!!)

I was expecting more singing and less babbling. It was more like a jam session with a few cover songs thrown in. I will say the guitarist was unbelievable. He needs someone to help him put a better show together. It could have been so much better than it was. After the show Taylor did sign autographs and take photos, which was nice.

Decided to finally see New Orleans and at the same time my favorite musician who was doing the Casino for three nights. Taylor does a totally high energy performance, his musicians are top notch, Brian Less who plays keyboards has been a friend and part of the group forever. Cody Faris played lead guitar, Jason Parker played bass guitar and David Keith was on the drums. Taylor not only sings American Idol classics but his own songs from his past records and also incorporates many many tags onto his songs, a mesmorizing experience when he goes totally into the zone. I would recommed his show to everybody, he has something that will please almost anyone.

Taylor Hicks is talented-and his back up players maybe even more so! Too bad that he could not accommodate to a small group in an inside venue-way too loud. We could hardly hear the words. Some left.

The man is incredibly talented. He played 5 different instruments and sang. Bad sound system which was too bad but he still belted it out. He had a killer band with him. I would definitely see him again. Also, Taylor was very accommodating with his time and photos at the meet & greet.

I would go again at any price! Better in person than on CD. Great tags like On and On and Grandma's hands. Opening number rocks!

I enjoyed Taylor on Idol and bought his first album. I wasn't that impressed. But since he was playing at the Paris where we were staying I read the reviews and decided to see him. What a pleasant surprise!! It was one of the best shows I've seen recently. The room holds about 150 people. If you pay to meet him you sit right in front and get a table to put your drinks on (all night drinks 2 for 1). But no seat is bad and anyone can meet him afterwards and get pictures taken. I loved that he played an assortment of old songs that I knew. He was very personable and his voice was incredible. I would recommend him to anyone.

Taylor Hicks was fantastic...The show is in an intimate venue with all seats being very good...The music was superb with a mix of original and covered songs..The covered ones were mostly from the 70's of popular tunes and Taylor put his own artistic touch to the sound...The musical group was very good and Taylor showed off his own versatility with guitar, organ and a very powerful harmonica..He was engaging and nice on stage and very personable when we met him after the show...It was a wonderful evening..Thanks You Taylor!!!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Taylor Hicks concert at the Paris Hotel in Vegas last week. The intimate setting at Napoleon's Bar was incredible. Truly not a bad seat in the house. We bought the General Admission ticket and we were still only 10 feet from the stage. Taylor played for about and hour and twenty minutes and performed some great songs. We love his soulful style. His keyboard player and guitarist were incredible. Great show and a great experience at a low price for Vegas($40/ticket)!

This was an all day charity event with various entertainers throughout the day, food, fun and football on large screen TV's for those in attendance! The idea was fine, the entertainers were top notch, but the attendance was sorely lacking, unfortunately! If they do this next year, perhaps the lessons learned this year will improve attendance.

This show is different because it isn't the overly polished production you usually see in Las Vegas. The music is the centerpiece here, along with the engaging personality of Taylor Hicks. He delivers gritty southern rock, 70s pop, mixed in with Muscle Shoals soul and a little Alabama country. He performs some original songs along with classic favorites and a few favorites from his winning run on American Idol. His band is top notch, and Taylor plays along on guitar, tambourine, and guitar, but his harmonica skills are simply stellar. Without a doubt the most original artist to ever come out of American Idol. Even if you don't like or have never watched the show, this is not to be missed.
