Favorite moment: Although there were a lot of great moments, I loved the end when he and his daughter, Diva sang what I believe was called "In your eyes". Very nice! @
Opening act(s): Great! Full of energy! @

At a young 68, Taj Mahal can still make you smile! The audience was comprised of young and old all enjoying the fabulous, magical fingers of a master. At first I didn't know what to expect from only a "Trio", but the way they made their instruments sing I soon realized that they didn't need any help from anyone else to make their kind of music come alive! To see this group was a real treat. A lot having to do with seeing their expressions and their interaction with one another. The opening act (his daughter Diva's band) was also fun to see and hear.

I enjoyed every bit of the evening. He was even better than I remember from the last time I saw him 30 years(!) ago. Maybe I've grown better able to appreciate the mellow joy he exudes. It was the first time I have been to the Uptown and I am truly impressed by the setting. Perfect crowd size. Very good acoustics. From what I could tell, there is not a bad seat anywhere. Had not realized there would be an opening act. The Rowin (sp?) Brothers were OK. A couple of their songs were outstanding, but never made me stop thinking that we were waiting to hear Taj Mahal.

His set was an accoustic,solo.....something he hasn't done since 2003 by his own admission. Just Taj, his insturments, his words, his music and us. It was great, Taj showed his mastery of music, told us his stories and connected with us. He played 3 different guitars, a banjo, his 6 string uke and an organ, he was and is still an amazing music-man!

Taj was fabulous. It was extremely touching and wondrous to see such a lovely man share his magnificant talents and years of experience with us. He indeed plays music and musically from his heart. Loved it!!
His cd, "The Essential Taj Mahal" is a delightful new addition to my music collection.

Nothing beats Taj Mahal at the Minnesota Zoo, it's just not possible to top the performance and the venue. This is the way blues was meant to be played no frills, just thrills!

The night with Taj was magical. Weather perfect, crowd showing major love and the artist amazing and beautiful as always.
I saw Taj at the State Fair wih Bonnie Raitt a couple of years ago, but didn't sit this close - what a gift. Recommend highly. Thanks!

Blind Boys of Alabama were truly great. If only they could have done a 3 hour set.
Two years ago, Taj phoned. It in. This time, his voice was fragile so he nicely overcomplesated on his guitars and mandolin and did perhaps his best string work ever in Minneapolis.

I hate to give this event such a poor review. It has nothing to do with Taj, he was fab and did the best he could under the circumstances. I blame my disappointment on the soundboard tech. He also spent the entire show texting. If you are familiar with the State Theatre, it is a small venue with cement type walls & ceiling and the sound bounces around. The bass was too high and the volume too loud. I couldn't stand it, I had to leave early.

Taj was great as always. The State Theater is, well, threadbare. The sound mix was heavy toward the lower mid level and bass making the warm up band sound excessively muddy. Turns out this is Taj's daughter's band.

Excellent performance, although the vocals were not miked well, could have used more clarity in the sound system. Otherwise, an excellent concert, terrific performance by Taj Mahal Trio.
