Kris Kristofferson

Great show!! Love Kristofferson and extra treat was Merle Haggard's son performed with him!!

I have to be honest at first when he came out I thought I would probably leave at the intermission but when it came time for the intermission I realized that he is a "legend" and deserves my respect for someone that is 81 yrs old and getting up on that stage and giving it his all...I needed to stay and I'm so glad I did....this was an amazing concert!!!

Hope the second half was better than the first half. We left at intermission. Very disappointing. Couldn t understand the lyrics and barely a sound system.

His talent really showed last night! The concert made me realize what an exceptional talented person he is. Kris is one of the few who truly express their appreciation for the audience. What a great show! Thank you!

Absolutely amazing that one man with an acoustic guitar and harmonica can be so riveting! Over two hours flew by in what seemed like minutes. Kristofferson's songs are the stars...spellbinding stories, compelling and universal. His voice and timing so real that he is irresistible. A man with a generous spirit.

Absolutely the best...Kris looked great... was warm, captivating and sensational...the nostalgiically familiar Ryman surroundings must have been a passage back in time & almost surreal for him. The auditorium staff we observed did an outstanding job throughout the evening assisting and controlling the audience as need be. It was our first concert at the Ryman & we hope there will be opportunities to return.

Once again Kris performed as the true poet that he is. Not one wasted line, visual imagery to perfection and the most humble performance I have ever seen.

It was a great show he was very at ease and interacted with the audience. Kris seemed to be enjoying himself. Loved The Ryman as well. It is like seeing a show in your living room. very intimate.

Great concert by a legend, very glad I attended, if he performs again I will attend his concert.

Enjoyable 2 hours, Kris, his guitar & harmonica!!!

unforgetable!!!!!!!!! hope he lives forever. dont you?

Listening to Kris sing a selection of his songs brought back memories of all the days we spent together (figuratively) growing up and growing old. iIn a way, I was a little disappointed that he didn't bring along some back up musicians as accompaniment since Kris' vocal talent is somewhat lacking due in part I'm sure to his age. anyway, it was a great evening in a grand old place.

We loved seeing Kris and being there with him. It was my friend's birthday and since he had been an old friend of the late Johnny Cash who was also a friend of Kris it was a very special event for us. We were very disappointed because the microphone and speakers were set up so that Kris could not turn around while he was performing. The Walt Disney music hall is set up in the round so that every one could have a good view of the performer but all we saw was his back the intire time except when he turned and smiled during the applause. I am very disappointed in such a beautiful expensive hall. The floor should rotate during the performance or the entertainer should be microphone so he could move independently and turn to the entire audience. We were impress with Kris, his music and the songs he wrote "Sunday Morning Coming Down" brought the house down. I still felt cheated and felt like the surprise for my friend's brithday was not as it could have been. I hope that it will be possible to see him perform again in a different venue.

This was # 12 or 13 for going to a Kris Kristofferson concert - and this was as good as they all are. I honor his talent - his songs stir the soul. I honor the fact that he's still performing after all these years. Fabulous that it was just him - his guitar and his songs -- singing from the heart as he always does. At one point he said he was worried the Disney Concert Hall wouldn't invite him back because of empty seats - I didn't see any empty seats - and even if there were - the room was filled with love and admiration. See ya' again in January, Kris! (Santa Barbara!)

The man is a legend. his voice is better than ever, he played for 1.5 hours straight, just him and his guitar, and a room full of admirers. tracing 40 years of country and folk music history, he really is a master singer songwriter and perhaps the most underrated superstar of the 20th and 21st century. He is down to earth almost to a fault, and hasnt lost his charm in all these years. Bravo Kris and I hope many more years to come

What a scene! The magnificent Disney Hall stage. One man, alone with a guitar under a spotlight. And then, in his age-tested, raspy voice, Kris Kristofferson begins with one of the poignant classics that launched his career. His heartfelt renderings brought me back to that first time my husband and I saw him many years ago when he was the unknown opening act to Linda Rondstadt (sp?) at the Troubador. His lyrics are sheer poetry, and the show was one I feel privileged to have shared with the appreciative audience.

What an amazing evening! Kris filled up the Disney Concert Hall with his presence and his song writing talent.

great show this was my first time seeing him and he was wonderful to hear. i have always been a big fan of his. next time i hope he plays a smaller hall. walt disney hall staff overall was poor most of the staff was no help and i will never go back to see any one there.

It had many years since I'd seen Kris in concert and I was anticipating this night with unabashed enthusiasm. The lack of his back up band though turned what used to be great rollicking fun into a pretty sedate experience. Kris, not really great with the small talk and banter many artists are really good at in a concert setting, seemed a bit awkward and out of place in the huge concert hall. He fumbled often with his harmonica and his voice is rockier than ever as age creeps in. The songs however, were great, gone were many of the overtly political songs which cost him greatly in the late 80's and early 90's , and frankly I was happy to see them go. Kristofferson is and will always be the greatest poet of his time and when you listen to the words and the story he is telling you get a sense of the man himself. Would I recommend it? Sure, it wasn't fun but it was good and how often do you get to see a legend perform live?

One of the best shows i have ever been too. Kris is not as old as they say he is and put on one hell of a show. One I'll never forget. Go see him if you can. A must for all ages.

It is too hard to imagine any 2 performers of such super stardom appearing on one stage at the same time. Both are performers, singers and songwriters and each has become a super star in country music, but so different.. Kris Kristofferson opened the show and it was apparent, he was having problems. he could not hit the high or low notes and couldn't hold a note, but if it was a cold, I am willing to forgive him. His songs are too noteable not too enjoy. Merle Haggard, after a raspy start, warmed up and has a honey-sweet voice and sang the old favorites we all love. After only 2 hours, the show was over. The crowd gave a standing ovation, but alas it was over. This crowd was the type that would listen all night and still be singing Sunday Morning Comin' Down as they went out for breakfast the next day.

Kris, his guitar and harmonica, appeared on stage and it was magic! He sang and told stories like we were his dear friends. He is so skilled in telling the story and shared them about some of the songs. He took requests from the audience and talked to people close by. It was a rare treat, being in the presence of a genius of lyric!!! A real five star show and performer. First time at Fraze and I was very impressed. It is a beautiful venue and all the people were so pleasant every step of the way.

This show was from his heart. You felt as if you were hanging out with a friend. Refreshingly honest and such conviction in his music.

The concert was very personal and heartwarming experience for both of us and our daughters. It was a pleasure to be in such a comfortable and natural venue to enjoy one of our hero's of intellectual story telling in music.

Kris Kristoffereson had the Ryman audience enthralled. He shared a treasure trove of wonderful, poetic, thoughtful and entertaining songs that spanned his career. His audience loved and appreciated this master songwriter-singer and Kris returned the sentiment. An unforgettable, unique artist in a beautiful, historic venue!

Great, excellent, well worth it. Kris was very original with only he, his guitar, and harmonica on statge. He is extremely creative. He also has wonderful connection with the audiance. He comes across relaxed, down to earth, and like the guy next door. He also tells funny jokes from time to time. I think for a one person performed, playing with limited equipment that he is outstanding. He sort of reminds me of the way Bob Dylan was during the 1960s. Also, all of the proceeds of the concert went to the Music Hall of Fame. This is very charitable of Kris. All and all, I highly recommend his performance to anyone.

Kris Kristofferson may be very experienced but he can still put on one heck of a show. He comes out and sings his hits and doesn't waste time. He puts in a lot of quality and not so much quantity. GREAT SHOW!!

this was my first time to see him and he put on a great show. for his age, he is still going strong. just had a wonderful night. we were sitting almost in the last row and there were a couple of guys talking a bit loud, but when i shushed them- for the third time- they were quiet. i didn't rate the venue amazing for that reason. i wish i had better seats.

Kris was awesome! Merle Haggard's band, The Strangers were a great addition to the show. Really enjoyed hearing the Merle songs scattered throughout the set. The only problem with the show was that the people behind us carried on a conversation throughout the whole concert. It was very rude and quite irritating. They should have been asked to leave the show.

Kris Kristofferson is KRIS KRISTOFFERSON, he is a living legend, it was a great surprise to also have The Strangers - Merle Haggard's band - supporting Kris! I am a big fan of Ben Haggard so double treat for me! Only disappointment was the show only lasted 1 hour 15 minutes and no encore, when he was done, he was done, and we were left with wanting more!

I was very pleased to get a chance to attend the Kris Kristofferson concert at the Horseshoe Casino in Tunica Mississippi. An unexpected treat was the Merle Haggard band playing for Kris. The show was sold out and the crowd sang along as Kris sang his hit songs. A couple of band members sang solos that were great too. Overall it was very entertaining.

Beautiful venue and kris kristofferson was awesome. It was an unforgettable night.

Loved this show, with the added bonus of the Strangers and Ben Haggard.

unfortunately the four people in front of us never stopped talking so loud we could hardly the lyrics. Very rude!

Kristofferson did a great job! So many great memories. Loved the show

He was totally awesome! All the band members where excellent and voices were amazing! Played 2 LONG SETS! We throughly enjoyed the entire concert!

I was really looking forward to seeing this icon in Clearwater Fl. Unfortunately I left after 45 mins. He guitar playing was slow and weak and he mumbled through the words. I was hoping for some storytelling as he was a great one for that however that did not happen. I felt sadden for him and he really should retire and enjoy life.

From the first song it was obvious that it was going to be a long tough night for this iconic singer songwriter. Eighty one years have taken their toll on Kris Kristofferson. He talked more than sang most of the songs, his guitar playing was slow and uneven and he really never took good advantage of the very talented Earl Scruggs Band that was backing him up. If you are going for the music save your money. If you are going to see a great American poet songwriter make it to this tour because it doubtful based on this performance that there will be another tour.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to see Kris and hear his sweet sounds and especially nice to see him in the intimate atmosphere of the Parker Playhouse. I've really waited all my life to see him play a full concert and it was heart-warming and smile inducing to be seated in the audience! So many favorite songs and he played them all. Thanks Kris Kristofferson for being Kris Kristofferson!

I ve been a fan of his music sine the late 60s. He s a gifted singer-songwriter and it was great to see him in the small venue of Parker Playhouse in Lauderdale.

So sorry! We left at intermission. Very sad. He should not do any more concerts. He is not up to it anymore.

Unfortunately Kris Kristofferson lost his voice. It was difficult to understand the lyrics and he couldn't reach to range of the notes. He tried hard but I guess he's getting old and has lost his voice.

Loved the show along with rest of the audience. Yes he is older now, but his words can still move you on every level.

Kris is an icon of music history.. unfortunately, he can no longer sing a note.

I totally enjoyed his concert. I have been a fan for over 40 years. He is a very talented man and a very interesting person. I would definitely go see him again.

Kris, thank you for serving our country. It is time to retire as a performer.

Kris sang all his most well known songs. Some songs I did not realize he wrote. He didn t sing any songs from a Star is born. Not really any interaction with the audience. His band was great. Had a great time.

It's Kris.. as long as he is singing, I'm listening. Such and incredible talent!

It was wonderful to see and hear Kris. He is a great American songwriter & performer and is a national treasure!

He was great with a very good band. The Palace of Fine Arts is a great place for a show. Medium size great sound very comfortable seats all seats have a good view

This was a benefit for Leonard Peltier and you can form your own opinion, but the lineup of Joe Ely, Rita Coolidge, Jellie Colter, Arlo Guthrie, Shooter Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Jamie Johnson backed up by some great Tulsa musicians couldn't have made for a better night. This was my first time to the BOK, I can see why it is one of the top music venues in the country. Each of the artist had time to play some of their best tunes and visit with the audience a bit. What a night!

Kristofferson was at his best, as well as all his friends from Rita Coolidge to Shooter Jennings, Jessi Colter, Joe Ely, Arlo Guthrie, Peter Coyote, and more... .all to be summed up in a magical musical moment with Jamey Johnson and the the gang. The benefit lasted 4 hours and told the history of the injustices against the Native American people and specifically Leonard Peltier who has spent the last 40+ years in prison after being unlawfully and unjustly convicted. All proceeds went to his legal aide fund. All the artists performed their hearts out with one common goal - to give us a night we wouldn't soon forget, and raise awareness. As Kris would sing, "I want justice, but I'll settle for some mercy.....!"

I have always wanted to see him in concert. He was amazing!! Very professional. Came out at 8 pm on the dot and sang for 1 and a half hours with no break. Just him and his guitar. What more could you ask for?!

Having grown up listening to Kris Kristofferson by way of my stepfather, it seemed fitting to take him to see his hero at the Southern Theatre last Wednesday. We were both excited and were ultimately NOT disappointed when the nearly 81-year singer/songwriter old took to the stage alone with just his guitar. Dressed in black and still sporting a good amount of gray hair, Kris launched into an unforgettable evening of storytelling through his legendary songwriting. In between songs, Kris kept the banter to a minimum and instead let the words and sparse music do the talking to a thrilled Ohio audience. His playing, while competent and befitting the overall mood, was what you'd expect of someone of his age (and mileage). He made no attempts at chords, soloing, or other extravagant flourishes. Instead he picked notes faintly and even ended songs abruptly while shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders apologetically. The crowd only seemed to love him more for it. I later learned that his memory has sadly failed him recently, although the video-assist monitor onstage insured no mix-ups on his hard-hitting lyrics. Overall, it was a thrill to see this veteran play out all his best hits and intersperse them with other gems. While many of his contemporaries have long gone, Kris still seemed to enjoy his magical way of connecting by storytelling before an adoring audience. Class and style that are one-of-a-kind came to Columbus that night and we had a blast.

The music was strong and heart felt. A unforgettable experience.

He may be 80 years old, but he's still the sexiest man alive! A poet and songwriter like no other! Never the best vocalist, but this was my fourth time seeing him perform and I was honred to be in the presence of greatness!

Such a likable man, contagious smile especially at the end of a song....I think even he was amazed that his loyal fans (like myself, that's why I went) applauded so appreciatively in spite of his poor sounding guitar, ' ok' for an 80 year old voice, and unusual 'abrubt' song endings.He is a legend, a gifted song writer, talented...all the above, but unless you were satisfied to see a legend in person no matter the cost (almost 80 bucks in my case) and not hear anywhere near professional caliber music it would be disappointing. The person attending with me (who loves him ,too) trying to find something nice to say, said, "it sure takes a lot of guts to stand up there all that time alone with only a guitar and no back up band'. To which I responded, "It takes a lot of guts to charge over $ 60+ plus all the ticket fees/charges to the show". I say God Bless Kris and Why ME Lord? (feelin' bad for being critical)

What an amazing tribute to Kris. So many stars all on the stage singing his songs. They couldn't have done a better performance. We will remember this night in Nashville forever!

This was a completely enjoyable concert, well worth the ticket price, the lines, the parking, everything!! The music was incredible, the performers were awesome (all except for Jennifer Nettles, whose screeching I cannot stand!) I REALLY HOPE TO FIND OUT IF THEY ARE GOING TO RELEASE A DVD OF THE EVENT, IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE FILMING FOR ONE.

Exceptional, once in a lifetime concert!! Well organized and executed! Seats were amazing but it would have been a better view if the seats had been staggered so that someone's head didn't block the view!

No doubt about it, this was one of the best shows that I have been at. 14 plus artist paying tribute to Kristophersons career.

What a night to remember! The talent on the stage was truly unforgettable. It was an awesome and legendary show and one that will go down in history. I was very fortunate to be able to attend!

An unforgettable night honoring an amazing man. The performances were each outstanding. The guest highlights were Jennifer Nettles, Darious Ruckker and of course, Wille Nelson. Can't wait for the TV release. Very happy to have been part of this one time event.

The lineup for this Tribute was jam packed with Country's biggest singer songwriters. The production which was being taped for later broadcast was tight.. No lagging, no awkward waits..just one great performance after another. If you missed it live...keep an eye out for the performance.

Over the years I have seen more concerts than I can count. Seeing Kris Kristofferson at the Ryman was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. The venue was perfect for Kris to stand up on stage (with not even a stool to sit on) with his acoustic guitar and play song after song after song. Between the venue and his intimate performance, it felt like I was sitting in someone's living room watching Kris perform in the same room. He did a two hour show with a mere 15 minute break and it broke my heart to see it end. What a great night!!

it was another great night at the Ryman! It always is when Kristofferson is there. He was a one man show until the very last song when a few of his old friends joined him on stage. He was joined by former bandmates, Billy Swan, Donnie Fritts, and songwriter Chris Gantry on "Why Me".. Kris started the show by simply walking out with a guitar, and singing. That's the way the evening went... Beautiful songs sung by a man with amazing lyrics. I always wonder how he remembers them all.. ands then it occurs to me .... He is a genius.

At 77 Kris comes out and stands for 90+ minutes and play almost non-stop! Like fine wine this guy just ges better and better.

I have long been a fan of the music but I am now a fan of the man too! What an amazing show! Kris was so comfortable in front of the crowd that I felt like I was in my living room listening and watching!

Kris sang the songs he wrote and were made famous by him or others. He would stop and tell little stories about some of the songs. This is my 4th time to see him and he gets better with age. He stood for over 2 hours and it was so amazing and moving at the same time.

Good show. Thought he would have had a band, backup singers, etc. As a lone performer, the music wasn't the same as the CD's. But the man is a performer, did very well alone. Glad I went.

The Birchmere is a great place to see your favorite artist up close and personal! Kris Kristofferson put on a fantastic 2 and 1/2 hour show with his biggest hits from the past, great songs through the years, and a lot of his current songs and music. He talked to the audience and put on an amazing performance. I hope he never stops touring, and I would definitely see him again at this venue. He is an amazing man, artist, and songwriter.

Kris Kristofferson was simly outstanding!!!! He played 32 songs and his daughter Casey joined him in the second half of the concert. The audience was so spirited and alive. After the show, Kris shook my hand and signed his autograph for me on his new CD - Feeling Mortal!!! I will never forget this experience ..... a magical performance by the greatest Country and Western song writer (my opinion..). Mark

Though older and a bit banged up, Kris put on a great, intimate show of his best lyrics and songs. Highlight of the night was Kris playing with his daughter Kelly.

I absolutely love Kris Kristofferson! I also live in Nashvile, and the Ryman is one of my favorite venues in the city. I love it's history, and most of all the intimacy. There is really no bad seating, and you feel a part of the show. Kris is still awesome at 76! It was a great experience! I give it 5 Stars!

Kris Kristofferson was one of the best shows I have ever seen. It was awesome to finally hear the legend that I grew up listening to. If you get the chance take the time to go and hear the best word smith of all time. His music is timeless and his delivery is perfect.

An evening with K.K. was unforgetable. Raw, intimate,this prolfic songwriter did not disappoint. A 2 plus hour show of his hits and new song's delighted all in attendance. K.K. is truly an icon. The last song of the evening " "Why me Lord" with Larry Gatlin, and road crew including his daughter had most everyone in tears. What a night!!!

On time, in tune and of good cheer! He walked out at 8:00-just Kris, his guitar and harmonica. He performed all the songs you would expect and a few others for real fans. His voice was in great condition and his mood upbeat. At 76 years old, he finally seems happy!

First, a disclaimer: I have been a fan of Kris Kristofferson since I was a college student in the late sixties. I don't know if the man will ever read this, but if he does, I would like him to know that I think his lyrics are poetry. I am a published poet myself, and I count him as one of America's finest poets. This being said, the evening was even better than I had expected. There were no delays, no opening acts, no theatrics. It was two hours of pure entertainment. I didn't use a flash, because I did not want to distract from his performance, but I did get a picture I'm proud of.

I have been a Kris Kristofferson fan for 40 years and love his recent concerts - just him and his guitar and harmonica. He always sings his most famous songs, so the audience is always happy - the only reason that he doesn't hit all of my favorites is because he would be there all night - there are so many!! He is personable, has a self-depracating sense of humor, and doesn't skimp on the songs - it's a lengthy concert. I was in the orchestra section at Spreckels, so I had a great seat. The only bad thing about the whole night was a guy in one of the front rows that kept yelling things and disrupting the performers (not just Kris, but the excellent comedian that opened the show.) I wish the ushers would have been more proactive about making him be quiet or leave. He wasn't showing respect for the performers or for the people that paid over $100 to hear the performers.

Sad to see the forgetfulness, however he was able to use quick wit to overcome. I would have liked a little more banter with the crowd. I believe he still has a lot to offer. I believe his voice was better.

What an amazing opportunity to see one of the greatest songwriters of our time for who knows if it may be one of the last times! He was in top form as far as I was concerned in good voice and played a great setlist. The audience on the other hand was more immature than if I had been to a Justin Bieber concert -- flash photography throughout the whole show, constantly texting on their phones, talking over the music and one women yelling how she wanted to sleep with Kris!!! Really -- the majority of this crowd had to be in their late 60s and 70s! Grow up!!!! It did not totally take away from the show but this was NOT a beer hall -- it was an OPERA hall. Know your venue. I wish Kris would have told them to knock if off.

Never being able to see Kris in concert didn't know what to expect from a 80 year old performer. Kris has a unique talent for writing songs about life. At 80 years old it amazing he still has the talent to perform live concerts. Maybe not as sharp as 20 years ago but still a great concert by one of the legendary song writers.

Sounded and looked great but didn't talk at all other than a quick bit about Bob Dylan. Very enjoyable evening.

The only way to really describe this concert is to call it moving. For long time fans, the evening took on a personal feeling with Kristofferson sending out his lyrics almost at an individual level. He clearly remains the brilliant and insightful poet/songwriter we all have known so well for so many years, but when he sang "Please Don't Tell Me How the Story Ends" it had a truthfulness that was both difficult and honest. If you're a long time follower and fan...a real fan...do NOT miss this opportunity.

An evening with a legend! Humble and talented stood the entire show just himself, his guitar and harmonica! Fantastic event!

I was so happy to spend the evening with you and relive some of my the days of my life. Your songs have been been with me for over forty years (saw you back in 1974). Your work has been a great part of my life. It was a show that I will not forget.

Saw Kris Kristofferson for the first time and loved the show. He sang for 2 hours with a short break - just him without a band. You could tell he thoroughly enjoyed being there with the audience. He still has the ability to draw people in to see his show. Highly recommend seeing him if you have the chance. Hope he tours again in this area of the country - will go again

It was a magical night. I will never get tired of listening to Kris. His songs are amazing and he still sounds great. If he comes back to the Boston area, I'll be there.

Amazing! I am so happy I got to see him play and sing.

There is no doubt that Kris Kristofferson can express all that we feel, hope, dream, and fear in his lyrics. Perhaps being solo on stage and being the age he is laid bare the emotional connection his words forge with your soul. His body of work transcends the passage of time, the physical changes we all face, and it was easy to embrace the evening's experience as a wonderful opportunity to "make it through the night" with Kris!

Kris Kristofferson is a legend. He came on stage old school style, just him, a guitar and a harmonica. Nothing else. Nothing else needed. He played for two hours and at 80 is just as badass as ever. He did not disappoint. If you get the chance check it out, you will not be disappointed. .

Kris is a legend. I am so happy that I was able to see him! 80+ years and still going strong. Good for him!

i have enjoyed Kris my entire life. I saw a legend still sharing his wisdom, views and music. I feel lucky to have been there. Don't miss it if your a fan!!

Kris came on stage by himself, wearing black, and a guitar. More real and raw than ever. Stunningly beautiful delivery of simple lyrics that hit down to the bone. My favorite performance by far.

At age 80, Kris remains as charming and moving as ever. He played all his best known songs and many others. Just Kris, his guitar, his voice... harmonica a few songs. That's all he needed, no band necessary. His songs are both simple and deep at the same time, and it was great to hear him sing them. For anyone who appreciates the beauty of simplicity, and the point where folk and country cross, go hear Kris in concert. A perfect evening.

Excellent show can't believe he's 81 yrs old still sounds like he used to.. Great show.

As he always does Kris gave his all and a great performance. The crowd was awesome and I was pleased to see how many young people were in the audience. Hope he is back in our area soon.

A true legend and icon, in a beautiful theater on stage with a guitar and a microphone. Intimate and amazing, and so many legendary songs. Do not miss the chance to see one of our true American musical icons.

Iconic performance from a truly iconic performer. Great appreciative audience. Still a great performer even at age 81. Would of liked him to talk more about his career

Kris Kristofferson is old and a little frail, yes, but to see & hear him perform such iconic music was a real treat.
