My twin sister and I went to this show together, and we're really glad we did! It was so worth the money! David Archuleta is a fantastic vocalist and person. He's very inspirational. The show was amazing.

I was amazed at the level of musical performance these artists displayed. They rocked it! I'm so proud to show anyone visiting St. Louis, the great talented musicians in this city! I spent most of my life in metro Detroit, Michigan. Have attended several Detroit Music Award events honoring local musicians; which many of these home-grown aspiring artists were able to reach the stars... such as Kid Rock, Eminem, The Rockets, Marvin Gaye, The Queen of Soul Aretha, Mitch Ryder, Anita Baker, Stevie Wonder, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger and Silver Bullet Band, and hundreds more! St. Louis rocks! Yea baby! SRV was greatly honored by the best St. Louis talent!

We don't get out very often, so when we saw this was coming to our area we decided we had to go. We love watching ice skating on TV so knew we would love the show. Didn't disappoint. As well we now know who to look for when the Olympics come around.

Big Jay was awesome, just killed it. Loved the story telling style of his comedy, kept you on the edge of your seat ready for the punchline. You can see why Big Jay has his own show on TV. Knocked it out of the park! Nick was awesome. fast, funny ,witty really throwing it all out there at ya. Had never seen Nick Before in person totally recomend..

Excellent show, Tarrus Riley and Shabba Ranks, I-octane just wonderful.

Had a wonderful time. Facilities and vendors were fantastic. Definitely looking forward to the next event at this venue.

The advertisement was for Ben Haggard but the show was equal parts Ben and his brother (Merle?). Ben has a great voice and respectable guitar ability but this brother, while accompanying Ben on rhythm guitar sang every other song and was far below his younger brother's abilities. My suggestion is for Ben to sing ALL the songs, get a band and start working on other songs to complement his famous fathers' work. Perhaps solo gigs at smaller venues would better suit Ben.

It's so refreshing to listen to music that doesn't involve themes of degeneracy. David is such a delight, his audience was such a bunch of sweet people. And his musicians we such professionals.

Back last November I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Nils Lofgren in concert for the first time. It was an interesting and intimate affair at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, AZ. CLICK HERE to read my review of the concert. I described his work that night as "true genius." When I say true genius, I mean something that alters the way you look at things, appreciate life and especially the talents of others.... what a human being is capable of. From Nils Lofgren, this true genius came in the form of music, live music. Well, when I heard he was coming back this year I bought my tickets the first day and I am happy that I did. Last year Nils choreographed a show of contrasts, a mixture of intensities and an interplay between soft harmonic acoustic guitar work and a firestorm of electric fury. The entire show was pure, authentic, flawless entertainment. I remember, throughout the show, I found myself with a constant smile on my face, the kind that hurts because it last so long. Well, this year Nils changed things up but not to far. I again found myself with that smile on my face. He still shared the stage with the incredibly talented Greg Varlotta and he still played many of his classic songs starting off with Too Many Miles" on the Harp and electric guitar. Then he put the electric away and melted into his acoustic set which included many of my favorites: "Rusty Gun," "Goin Back, "I Came to Dance," and "Keith Don't Go." "Shine Silently," "New Holes in Old Shoes," "Black Books," "Girl In Motion" and "You." In it's own way, this mostly acoustic concert was as good as last year's. It's like listening to your best friend play for you in your living room. An extremely talented best friend. Nils Lofgren is a Baby Boomer, just like us, and it s unfortunate that he has been overlooked for the talent and creativity he has brought to the music of our generation. Sure, he rocked us down to our souls with Bruce Springsteen, but it is in his solo work that you find the most incredible songwriter, vocalist, guitarist and musical artist. Even at the age of 64, you could tell that this was the same kid that, on his 19th birthday, opened up for Jimi Hendrix in concert. He has been on the road over 45 years. You would never guess. There's no ego in Nils. There's also no arrogance you would expect from someone who has performed in front of millions of fans. There no pretentiousness and no masquerade. There's just a guy who knows how to play the hell out of a guitar and enjoys every minute of it. In an interview a few years back he stated: "I've just always done what I wanted." Thank Goodness for that !! I hope next year he wants to hit the road again with a full band and strap on his Fender Strats. I, for one, would really like to feel the electric intensity and fire he can generate one more time. Interestingly enough, after this concert I had the chance to meet Nils and chat. He has a huge presence despite his diminutive size. Even without a guitar in his hands you know this man loves music and he understands it in a way that few too performers do. During our conversation I told him that I wished I understood music the way he did. He looked right at me and said: "If you love the music then you understand it."

Fast paced , lots of laughs . Great high energy cast . Fun Show !
