Lettuce

LETTUCE IN CONCERT: For more than two decades Brooklyn-based funk outfit Lettuce has kept fans moving and shaking with their skittering beats, snaking basslines, and squelching brass. At their live shows the septet takes their instrumental grooves to the next level, pushing the two-hour mark with sizzling sets chock-full of extended solos, incredible improvisation, and infectious on-stage chemistry. Whether they're busting out trumpet-heavy early tracks like "Outta Here" or letting the synth and sax shine on newer numbers like "Hang Up Your Hangups", Lettuce always leaves ticket buyers feeling euphoric with their finger-licking, booty-shaking sets on tour.BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:Lettuce was formed in 1992 when its members began jamming together while attending a music intensive at Boston's Berklee School of Music.

Tight, tight, tight! Impossible not to shake your groove thing when Lettuce is in the house!! So, wear your dancing shoes. Shady Horns knock your socks off; best rythym section on the planet! It would be wrong not to laud the guitar, B-3 players and singers, too...all of whom are stellar players. Thanks, guys, for a fabulous show !

This show was an amazing value and some of the best live music I've ever seen. Branx was the perfect choice to open for a funk/blues show. Soulive put on an incredible show- Eric Krasano is a guitar god. Then Lettuce rocked electric factory for almost 2 hours- hands down the best 30 bucks I've ever spent.

We were there at 9pm. The warm up band came on close to 10pm. They were very good and entertaining, but we never got to see lettuce. It was 12;30am and the band still was not on the stage. I've never been to a concert where I had to wait so long to see the act. As a matter of fact, we never saw the band, we were tired of waiting so we left. Lettuce is one of my favorites, but to wait 3 1/2 hours plus is beyond ridiculous. I'll never go see them again. Matter of fact, they should refund my money. Worst concert experience ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Branz, Soulive, & Lettuce are all powerhouse acts. They preformed at the top of their caliber, as they always do.

The ticket said 7 doors, 8pm show. No one played a note until after 10. The show was sold out so I'm not sure what they were waiting for. Do I blame the venue? or was it the bands choice? The sound was poorly mixed. BUT, the band was tight and entertaining. Great group, poor management.

The Lettuce concert I attended was seriously one of my favorite and most memorable shows! The energy that this band puts out there is unreal. They are on point all the time. True professional musicians with some serious talent and soul. You will NOT be disappointed if you attend a Lettuce show, which I highly suggest you do.

Truly spectacular sold out show at Port City. A few friends over the years had recommended the band but I didn't make the effort -- what a mistake. Lettuce brings the funk every song and in every way, with dancing fans and euphoric faces everywhere. As Eric Dyson says in a new documentary, Finding the Funk, "Funk is the fundamental structure of our existence when we celebrate ecstasy at our heights." Want some awe and wonder? Have some Lettuce.

I like the band and was excited to see them. However, they had a DJ open for them that played from 9-10:40pm. No one was there to see the DJ! When they finally came on, the sound was a bit muffled because of the number of musicians and the venue. I had to leave after 2 songs because the garage my car was in was only open to 11pm. Next time, I hope they ditch the DJ and just come out at a reasonable time! Especially on a Thursday.

The venue was great, lettuce was awesome but they went on over an hour and a half late! I understand even a half hour, but not that late. The tardiness turned our excited spirit into weariness from standing around, not to mention in was after 10:30pm when they finally took the stage. Who do you think you are, Elvis?! I'll probably see them again because once they finally came out they tore the place down, but c'mon guys, get it together!

Sorry - derivative funk is not very good. It's like listening to the back-up band for a soul singer, but she never shows up. My perspective may be a little different than the rest of the 20-something audience. I was there when funk was invented.

First, Lettuce and Galactic killed it. These are two highly underrated bands that can hold there own. Zero complaints about the music and look forward to seeing them both again in the future. It was way too crowded at this event. No complaints against the staff or security personnel; they did their job just fine and showed great organization and professionalism. It was simply too crowded, which is a testament to how good the bands are, however the sheer amount of people made it difficult to focus on the music. It was definitely a mood killer and very uncomfortable. These bands need to be in a larger venue than St Andrews Hall.

ALWAYS an epic show. Every time I think Lettuce can't do better than the last time I saw them, they consistently prove me wrong. 100% Funk!! That's all that really needs to be said... Go see them!! You won't regret it, but you will regret missing this live.

This was the first Lettuce show for me and I've already bought tickets to their show at the Maine State Pier next month. Cool, cool band of excellent musicians and a sound, a flavor you get into from the first sound you hear. Two hours of fun...

Russ Liquid Test (opening band): groovy, dancable, funky 3 piece. These guys put on a great performance. Lettuce: WOW. Extremely tight horn section, killer bass, funky drums. They played a really amazing set. The whole crowd was moving. Amazing! Teragram Ballroom: pretty small space, got way too crowded when Lettuce played. The sound was excellent, not too loud, not too quiet, all the instruments were clearly audible. 3 bars total meant no wait for beers. The one thing this venue lacks is a patio area. To get any fresh air, you have to go out front to the sidewalk, on a roped-off area, which meant you couldn't bring your beer outside.

I've not seen these guys before, but have checked out some of their CDS and thought they were pretty funky. I also checked out some u tube tracks of live playing. Again found them to be pretty funky. At this show they seemed to have misplaced their funk. They were tight as a band, but didn't leave any space in the music and funk is more defined by what is NOT played (the requisite space) than by what IS played. The volume was too high, so when they tried to bring it down dynamically, it was still just blaring. So their dynamics were rendered ineffective. Overall disappointing...

Caught Lettuce at Jannus Live in St. Pete. They were awesome...a lot of energy, got the crowd excited. I find that the current funk scene is about as close to classic rock as you can get live these days and really enjoyed the show. The venue was great as well.

Let us have lettuce! Once again I want to hear a wonderful band and was very disappointed with the sound mix. Why is it such a challenge for the sound guys to realize that their job Is to provide balance for each voice in the band? Once again too much bass drum and too much reverb on the bass covers everything else. Vocals and lead guitar were muddy at best and forget about hearing the horns. Lettuce is known for being a horn band with a hometown boy on saxophone! I should not have to strain to hear them! Also, I DID vote to legalize marijuana. I did NOT vote to legalize indoor smoking in public places!!! If you going to have a no smoking policy at the state theater then you need to enforce it!!! Smoking is smoking. Regardless of which plant material you're burning it's still creates an inhospitable environment for most people. I had to leave early just so I can find someplace to breathe!

Stop whatever you are doing right now and go see them. It was the best concert I've ever been to. They played all the best songs and had tons of improv/solos that made it a super concert.

There's a particular feeling to Lettuce's style of funk that makes it hard to stand still to. When it hits you the mind and body cease to be two separate entities and instead join as one vehicle for the music to flow within. From epic drops on the dime to long space jams complimented by a psycadelic light show these guys were tight through every note.

The Lettuce concert was entertaining and colorful. The way they incorporated the lights into the show, to coincide with the music was fantastic. The singer Nigel Hall who joined them for the second 1/2 of the show blew me away! So much energy on that stage, especially the trumpet player, Eric Bloom.
