Great concert could’ve been a little longer. Sound quality and music selections were great.
I love Bruce and the Noisemakers and have seen them before but this show was disappointing. The GSR showroom sound was terrible, couldn't really hear his piano well which is obviously disappointing. Older crowd (including myself at 65) but it seems like they turned down the volume for this show. Also seems like they abbreviated the duration of the show so us old folks could get to bed? My impression is that he doesn't really love a casino gig. Bruce and the band are great and I love them live but not so much this night. Hope the rest of the west coast tour goes better.
A nice blend of old and new music. Band was superb! Enjoyed the interaction with the audience and trivia Bruce Hornsby shared. He also seemed to let his band be the stars! Great overall performance, I’d go again. Venue is also superb. Not a bad seat in the house.
The re-invention of his old hits are so beautiful and creative. Bruce’s ability to play and conduct his 5 piece group was very impressive. You can tell the whole band can improvise through anything. A fun and entertaining show- I highly recommend seeing this show.
Energetic, innovative, incredible talents! It was great. The theatre was vintage and perfect.
Great musicians, however I wanted to enjoy the music in its original form. The renditions of the originals were long and unfamiliar. Stick to the good, old stuff!
Amazing musicians. “You probably realize that we’re winging it tonight.“ They change the song list every night, not repeating a song from one night to the next. Only 2 songs weren’t requested. In the middle of any song Bruce would raise his hand indicating he was going to take a left turn and he expected the band to keep up. They smiled and laughed as he took them through a minuet, classic R&B riffs, syncopated jazz, even a show tune here and there. They were having fun and so did we. Wonderful musicians, a hell of a concert, one of the best we've seen in a very long time. My wife and I are still talking about it.
Fabulous show. Exceptionally good musicians. Been a big fan for a long time. Don't miss them if they are anywhere near you.
If I had a job that I enjoyed as much as these guys seem to I wouldn’t ever want to retire . A beautiful night of great music
As expected Bruce Hornsby played a terrific show. His band and he knocked it out of the park. To bad we all get older.
