Great show! Boz Scaggs definitely the best of the three, sounding great, played great guitar, and was very classy in taking his bows. Fagen? Yeah, he rocked! Made me remember that the piano is a PERCUSSION instrument. He played counterpoint to McDonald and Jim Beard's keyboards all night long. Something about his singing wasn't quite right, though. I don't think that they had enough reverb or something for him. While I love Michael McDonald, I have to say that he struggled to hit the high notes, often not making it. Not a put-down, just the facts... I guess we're all aging, my friend. I heard this said of another singer, and I think it holds for him: he never sang in falsetto, he just sang really high. And now that he's losing it, it's a little sad.

The worst part of the show? Whoever was running the sound system had it up WAY TOO LOUD! HORRIBLE! This is the reason I could only give the show 4 stars— we were at the threshold of pain the whole night. Where do I send my ear doctor bill???

It was great to hear the real music again. The knid of music that takes talent to write and preform. The joining of these guys with their own unique styles is refreshing. Then adding their combined talents, the WOW factor is high!!

Expected to hear more of their own works with the input of each others specialties.
Did not want to hear them play other artists songs to their renderings.
Good blues setup on songs but weak on some melodies
Michael McDonald who we always loved to hear sing, was not strong, could not hit the notes he used to and sounded muddled at times... Lost his crisp , strong singing voice. Seems like age has taken its effect.
Wish we could hear more Steely Dan favorites instead of the blues sides
Boss was the only strong point of the Dukes...Still strong in voice and his playing great
Too bad ...I was very disappointed and so were many who were there.
Hope they were better in Maui, since I am also from Maui and my friends haven't called me yet???

You didn't dare pull out a cell phone for any reason during their concert. Security was tight on this. The first concert I've been to ever where this was done.
Perhaps there was a good reason for this: if clips were uploaded to YouTube, I would have known to skip this show.

Boz was great but he couldn't make up for Michael MacDonald who (in my opinion) had an I'd-rather-be-anywhere-than-here attitude that expressed itself in his singing and playing.

It was a great evening, great venue and a great band. The only complaint was that they didn't play more of their popular pieces and seemed to want to play lesser known compositions.

A good show, with all three on the stage at the same time. Each played three or four of their songs and the rest were covers. The band was great, I just did not care for the covers this time.

First, the Ravinia is one beautiful venue with an awesome sound system. Second, I surveyed the audience; my guest and I must've been the youngest couple, which says volumes. The volumes is that music transcend all ages/race, in my opinion. Everyone was jamming. I've always loved Michael McDonald (the Doobie Brothers)! He has such a beautiful soulful voice. I don't complain when he performs many of the Motown classics.

Third, the other two gentlemen, Boz & Fagen, were AWESOME! I wish the Ravinia would have announced their names along with, 'Dukes of September' when promoting their show. I'm sure it would've been a sell out. They performed Motown, Doobie Brothers, Jimmie Hendricks and Janis Joplin classics, to just name a few artists. I'm sure I missed a few; no disrespect.

If the tour comes your way, you should definitely go check them out! Great venue, weather, show, company and free tickets. You couldn't ask for more!

All three "Dukes" were in top form! They sounded great separately and together. We loved their play-list and the way they interacted with each other. Tickets for this show were a birthday present, and it was one of the best gifts I ever got!!

The band and the concert were great. I felt bad that both outside sections were empty. That show should have sold out. I don't think enough people knew who was playing. The members names should have preceded the band name in advertising.

It was good to see Dukes of September come together and rock the crowd. Seeing an older crowd with younger ones as well reminded me music is timeless. Also great to see them sing each others songs like they were one of the original band members. Loved it!!!

On a cool summer night, the Dukes of September not only rocked the house, they dug deep into the collective soul of rock and roll. From the opening strains of Whos that Lady to the closing of Buddy Miles Changes the show was one of the best I have seen and heard. Of course the highlights were the tunes made famous by the solo artists. The Steely Dan numbers got the house rockin....

We were not sure how the evening would play out, but were thrilled to see all three artists on stage singing lead and back up for each other. Michael McDonald was wonderful with his soulful melodies and sensuous growls. Donald Fagan was fun as emcee, and seemed to so enjoy singing his Steely Dan tunes and watching the audience get into it. But the best part of the night was Boz Skaggs. He sounded, played and looked fabulous! I could have listened to him all night, and so enjoyed dancing to his songs. The back up singers were phenomenal, but with the talent of these gentlemen would have preferred to hear more of the men and less of the women. While I had hoped to hear more of their own tunes, we did truly enjoy the covers of their favorite songs. I would listen to them sing anything. Fabulous music + great venue + amazing weather = One Wonderful Unforgettable Evening. Thank you, Gentlemen xox

This concert was without a doubt, one of the best I have had the providence to attend. The supporting band was super! You get the sense that the three main performers are very particular about how their music is presented, and despite not being sold out, (Toledo's loss) they gave a show that showed their professionalism and pride in their music. Every song performed knocked your socks off in its presentation. All of the three band leaders complimented one another and it seemed like they really enjoyed playing one another's music. All of the cover songs were excellent choices, and performed with a telling love of each one. I loved it too! I would see them again if given the chance, and if you get than chance, DO NOT MISS IT!

What a night! I can honestly say I can cross one more thing off of my bucketlist. This was a concert of a lifetime for me. I love Boz and was thrilled to hear Lido (had to play Silk Degrees when I got home); plus Michael singing What a Food Believes (and had to play the album...thankfully I still have a turntable!).
I loved the whole concert. Sometimes the seating was a tad uncomfortable, but that was ok. I still have the whole evening running through my head.

The Dukes of September tore up the Toledo Zoo Aug. 15 with a marvelous mix of their own tunes and covers of some amazing artists. Michael McDonald's voice was much better than last year's Dukes show, Donald Fagen was a real showman who plunked his keyboard with precision, and Boz Scaggs showed no age and really stole the show with his tunes, esp. Lowdown and Lido Shuffle, as well as contributing superbly to the shard vocals on songs. Herrington, on guitar, was as stunning as he always is, whether playing for Steely Dan or in this venue, the girls who sang were excellent, and a huge shout-out to the rest of the band, bass, horns section and keyboards. It was a night I hated to see end!

Was very disappointed in the concert!! We paid approx $100 a ticket, and Michael who's voice is such a gift let the backup singers sing his songs. I didn't pay good money to hear that!!! I also thought the song selection was marginal at best! As a matter of fact my husband and I cancelled our European cruise figuring we won't get what is promised! I would say each guy let us down either between the choice of music, the sound they played, or backup singers out staged them.
