A really good evening of blues, thanks to Walter and his fantastic band, not to mention his son, John, who can shred a strat like his Father, and someday may be the Trout we are paying to see!

Walter Trout came out and looked to be having fun most of the night. Can't say enough when a band enjoys themselves it seaps into the room and effected the entire room. The audiences was right there going through the emotions his songs projected. The entire band was on their game last night including the bass player, drummer, and keyboardist. Its a show I would recommended to any blues rock lover!

Walter Trout is simply himself. With talent abounding, he comes across as a regular guy with a heart and soul for music. His abilities as a guitarist can be matched by few. He plays to the crowd and does not let ego get in the way. The band backing him were exceptionally tight. Each band member seemed to be enjoying themselves as they showcased their talents. Not a lot of flashy showmanship, but pure musical genius.

I have never seen a guitar player that close up that was that good. Unbelievable. Every member of the group was top rate. The organist was also one of the best I have ever seen

We all though we lost Walter 2 years ago. To see him back looking great, feeling great and playing absolutely unbelievable. The Bear's Den is a very intimate place for a show with only a few hundred seats and not a bad seat in the house. To hear Walter's sad but true story of being on the brink of death, to a life saving transplant to back on the road all within a few years. After the show Walter came out to sign copies of his book, multiple DVD's/CD's and take photos. He's always been that kind of guy. Even gave me a pick! We love you Walter, welcome back!

Had another opportunity to see Walter Trout this week. He is a passionate talented guitar player who plays the blues from his heart. He is blessed to be alive after his liver transplant and you can feel the pain that he felt when he was close to dying. He is back with a passion to perform and deserves the recognition as a top notch blues guitar player. I bought his latest album on the way home from the show. He wrote that in his darkest hours when he was sick. His band is wonderful and he even brought his son John out to jam with him. Great show.

This was a fabulous show! Lance Lopez opened and was fantastic as always. This was my first time to see Walter Trout and he blew me away. Everyone should see this show! I only wish that it had not been on a Monday. This working girl has paid for that Monday late night all week long. Please go see this show. I would do it again, even if it is on a Monday.

If you are going to see Walter Trout don t expect anything less than a full fledged rockin Blues show that doesn t give you a minute of rest. His guitar playing is truly amazing, his vocals as strong as I ve ever heard from him. Sammy Avila on keyboards hammered it out all night that kept the songs poppin, Michael Leasure on drums the ultimate pro and even graciously let Walters son use his drums to show his stuff on a song. Walters other son John on guitar and Sammy s son on bass really gave the show that punch that young guns can provide. Overall a great show that Walter Trout clearly works his ass off to make sure the audience leaves happy. Do not miss this band if it comes your way. If you love live music and fun you will love this show.

This was my second trip to the Casino in Niagara Falls to see Walter Trout. It won't be my last if he keeps coming back. The talent that is on that stage is amazing. Everyone has their own qualities and showmanship going on. I love watching the bass player. It gets emotional when they play the songs from Battle Scars. Walter gives a very short talk on why you should be an organ donor. He is living proof, but there are so many more in need. I'm glad I am one.

We were surprised there weren't more people in the audience! The Howard Theater is a wonderful venue, I'd go back there again! Just wish they'd figure the food out! Trout can still tear it up, his voice and his guitar! Singing the Blues. And he did, his new album is dark, but he's laughs it off and is very happy to be alive and on stage again! Loved having his son up on stage playing w/him!

I applaud Walter Trout for what he went thru and his ability to have the energy to play live again, but he needs a new band. I was so embarrassed for the bass player. He couldn't make it thru a I IV V correctly. He was playing wrong notes the entire night. He couldn't even tune his own bass, the guitar tech had to tune it for him while he just stood there. The guitar sounds were way over processed, too much reverb, and the sound and volume was the same the entire night, no dynamics. I was very disappointed with this show. Next time Walter, grab that 80lb female bass player from your opening act!

The nites card was Jon Paris and Walter Trout. Paris was exellent and had the crowd going, wish he played a little longer. Trout was amazing. His guitar play is where a lot of peopla could only pray for. This was the first time seeing our hearing (as solo) them. I'm on the fan wagon.

I am not that familiar with Walter Trout but was aware that he was a big influence on Joe Bonamassa and that is good enough for me. Walter is a fantastic guitarist and really ripped it up! I have seen many shows and was truly impressed by his talent. Had a great time and a very memorable evening.

Walter Trout is a true inspiration and "he is back". He was on my bucket list as I never saw him perform, although over the past 3 years I have followed his story and have become probably his biggest fan. Show was unbelievable and I wish he would put on more shows in Jersey.

Walter blew me away! Just when you think it doesn't get any better - it DOES. The whole band was truly amazing! And, the small forum at the Rhythm Room made it extra special. I drove all the way from Albuquerque and would do it again - we had a great time! Walter has more talent in his pinky finger (right hand LOL) than many bands have total. Thanks Walter

The band played well. Though I'm unfamiliar with their (your) works, the clips (mp3s) that were associated with the House of Blues web-site made me think the band overall should have been a little more polished. I would suggest that the venue itself had something to do with that. (Acoustics not that great). All the musicians did well. I thought the drummer was very good. Concerning the venue I was angered at the seating. I purchased tickets with the expectation I'd have a seat with the other three in my family. Web-site led me to believe I purchased tickets with "assigned" seating. To come all the way from Savannah Georgia only to find we couldn't even have a seat was pathetic. My tickets had seat numbers. I will not go back to the House of Blues again.

This was a great show! Don't miss them. It reminded us of the bands in Detroit and Chicago. A heads up - the show said it was Walter Trout and started at 6:30. We had no idea other bands were playing - we had to leave at 10 and made it home for the babysitter.

Walter Trout and band were outstanding as I knew they would be. Started with the blues standard Help Me and the whole place was rockin'. Continued to play his original blues tracks all the way until they came out and told him he had to stop. Would see him again anytime he plays in the OC. Want to throw out a complimentary note about the band 'Good Deal' also a band from OC that I had not heard of. They were almost as good as the closer. Played more blues standards/covers than originals but were rockin just as much. Also the OC fair venue 'The Hanger' has great sound, and is a great place to see this music. Too bad they can't get the bigger bands from the Pac Amp to play in this place as the sound is much louder....better!

Bill Magee was very smooth. It was a relaxing Blues Sunday at the OC Fair. He was indeed very good. I hope he will have more shows. Good Deal is ok. He will be a good pair with Bill Magee. Hope he does not wear blue jeans next time. It took away the feeling. Walter Trout exaggerated the Blues. He became too loud, and louder, and louder and he was dressed too funky. Overall, it was a beautiful Sunday. Thank you OC Fair. We'll be back for BB King. BB King, here we come.

This Sunday Blues Show was incredible! Four hours of wonderful blues music. Bill Magee and Good Deal were very good at warming up the crowd and getting us rocking. Then when Walter Trout came out it was over the top. Walter is an expert blues guitarist. His songs are soul searching, blues greats. The Walter Trout band is so skilled and entertaining! What an awesome night of blues music.

Walter Trout put on a fantastic show. His band was very good also. I loved how they brought up the Piano players son and let him jam with Walter for a few songs. I also love how Walter brought up the man who taught him how to play guitar when he was 14 and let him sit in on the piano for a song. He is a great guy. The Scottish Rites Aut. is a good place to see a concert. Not a bad seat in the house!

The show opened with Dana Fuchs. Her performance was very good, but we felt she wanted a little too much audience approval/participation. The fact that Walter was "home" to Collingswood made the show even more memorable. You could tell that he was excited... he didn't stop moving. His playing was just outrageous... there just isn't anyone better, In my opinion. A great surprize was Danny Alvarez. Holy Smoke!!! He nailed it. He had a good look, good moves, good energy and he can play!!! Over all ... Walter has never been better. I've seen him live about 8 times and he just keep bringing it! Great night. ps..we'd lost our tickets and ticketmaster really came through for me... thanks!

I have seen Walter twice before and he puts on a great show. I especially liked Dan Altamire (keyboard player's son) who played some great acoustic guirtar but was truly amanzing playing a PTS electric guitar and staying right with Wallter when they were swapping double lead riffs. Dana Fuchs I really enjoyed also. I had never seen her before but I certainly will see her in the future. She is really talented and has a great blues vocie. She also a very pretty lady and has a great stage presence and related well to the audiience.

Walter Trout made one of his rare local appearances in Foxboro Mass last Thursday night, and I am happy to have made it to the show...My friends and I gladly drove straight into the snow and rain to get to see Mr. Trout and his band play the blues! What a showman, and a crowd pleaser...seeing Walter Trout in action is a rare treat! And I must also give Kudos to Showcase Live at Patriot's Place, the food, service and setting was Fantastic!! What a great venue to catch a show, not a bad seat in the house, the sound system was spot-on, and the service was excellent!!! Had a great time!! TROUT!!! Please come again soon!!!
