Marcia Ball was the opening act. She's so comfortable with her music and put on a great show. Loved her. Delbert and his band were amazing. The saxophone player, Dana Robbins, was such a highlight. The band performed some old songs as well as cuts from his new album. One song after another - never a dull moment. The Wilbur Theatre was a great venue to see this show. We travelled 3 hours from Maine to get there, spent the night, and it was so worth the trip. Always said once I saw him I could cross that off my bucket list, but no, I would go again, so it's still on there!

Delbert sang non-stop for hours. He and the band really energized the crowd. Everyone was dancing in their seats and aisles. Great songs!
Delbert and the crew looked like they were enjoying themselves and the more the crowd "rocked" the more they played and sang to the crowd.
FABULOUS event - we are so happy we attended. We will look for Delbert to come to Boston again. Next time we are bringing a group of friends to enjoy the show!
Glen and Delbert harmonize perfectly together. We enjoyed Glen, and Marcia's talent very much.

Amazing show! Marcia Ball was awesome, but listening & watching Delbert was what I went for & was not at all disappointed! He sang so many songs, included his band to showcase their talents & invited special guests to join in to sing with him. Really an excellent show.

I was disappointed with this show BECAUSE THE SOUND SUCKED!!!!! We couldn't understand what Delbert was saying to the audience or what Delbert and Marcia were singing. I've waited sooooo long to see Delbert in person and the poor sound sure ruined the experience.

Marcia's set was boogie blues, it was like a younger, female Dr. John with a prettier voice. Great Songs! We especially liked "Look Before You Leap". Really nice and fun, and we told her so as we were leaving. The Wilbur Theater is beautiful and a great place to see a show of any kind, highly recommended.

Delbert's set was wonderful, his band is great and 4 of the members showcased their songs and they all played on them, it was a great collaborative experience. Also Glen Clark (sp?) who Delbert collaborated with for a recent CD, came on and sang some of the songs from that recording. It was great for the first 3, then we wanted to hear more Delbert. Glen did a bit of "taking over" the show, in our opinion, which did not add so much to the experience. Liked the drummer and his song "Rock Me Right". LOVED Bruce Katz the piano player, he is a MONSTER! The guitarist was very talented and played a lot of sweet licks...but I felt his enthusiasm for playing the show came and went. Overall, a great experience and I would do it again especially to hear more from Never Been Rocked Enough, my favorite CD of his. Delbert certainly gave us our money's worth, but the set could have been a bit shorter and we would have had more enthusiasm for the encores. Or maybe we're just old...

Marcia Ball was amazing and we were delighted that she played for so long and so many songs...what a talent and love that she crosses her legs as she rocks it out on the keyboard! Delbert was also great live...his voice a little raspy, but still great! His band was also incredibly talented, each one of them! (So was Marcia's band!) They played for so long and so many songs and we also got to hear many new songs along with special guest Glen Clark. Everyone had a great time on stage and that made it even that much more enjoyable. If I had to say anything negative, it would be that the music was quite loud, from the band and sometimes Delbert's voice was lost...I would've liked to hear more of his "ballad" type songs. But, overall it was WELL worth the money and a really great show!

What an incredible show! First of all the lineup with Marcia Ball was unique - we got to the Wilbur and she started right on time and rocked the house for 45 minutes or so. Quick break and then came Delbert with a phenomenal band - newbies I didn't recognize but spectacular - the keyboardist, trumpet and sax player were absolutely stellar, as was Glenn who filled the last hour with great harmonies and melodies and always, always, the blues.

And I love Delbert and Marcia Ball both for pushing their band members forward, letting them share the light, and selling them to a wider crowd. I've been going to Delbert's shows since before I was legal (I'm 54 now...) and he's always been a great show and generous about sharing the stage with his band - and when he might have taken a break, he didn't - he stayed right on stage making it clear to the audience that he was as impressed as we were.

The only complaint I would have is not seeing the two of them (Marcia and Delbert) together for more stuff....but I would sound whiny, given how great the show was overall.....

AND HE PLAYED FOR ALMOST THREE HOURS NON-STOP - ENDED AT MIDNIGHT.....

What a show! Marcia Ball was so phenomenal, it was hard to imagine that the event could get any better. And then it did! Delbert McClinton (and M. Ball) is the real deal - great talent, killer band, great connection between D. and the audience. They played over 2 1/2 hours of kickass music, giving it all away! Fantastic show!!!

This was my 4th Delbert concert. and as always, I was not disappointed with his performance. I brought 5 others with me and we had the best time ever. Unlike most main stream music, Delbert's can't be explained in a single category. If I had to come up with a name for his music, it would simply be "FUN & GRIN". To me its those eyebrow raising subliminal messages contained in most of his songs that bring a big smile to me everytime I listen to his music, an to sum it all up: To me, He's the real deal!

We go to several concerts a year and it is always fun to go to one featuring a veteran entertainer such as Delbert. Voice is still "good" and his band is excellent! Even though he seems to "indulge" and you can notice the difference in his demeanor from start of the concert to the end, it doesn't seem to effect his performance. The night was a lot of fun.
