It was a mixture for me. It was fun to hear the old BS&T music, and the audience was enthusiastic and appreciative. That being said, half the guys in the band looked like aging accountants being forced to demonstrate what a good time they were having. And with all the original material they had to pick from, why include Vehicle in the play set?
All the players were fine, particularly the lead trumpet, and singing was fine... It just didn't have the spark and sparkle of the old BS&T.

David Aldo is a competent vocalist but he's no David Clayton Thomas -- the signature sound of the original Blood, Sweat and Tears. Admittedly no one now playing with today's BS&T is part of the original band but the horns were spot on with the original group's sound. Overall, BS&T's performance at the Birchmere December 2 was high energy and very entertaining.

Great musicianship, great venue. I really like the dinner with the concert at Birchmere. BS&T was fabulous. Played all the songs we wanted to hear, even a couple of songs from the Al Kooper era. The horns were smokin.The South African singer (don't remember his name) was better than Clayton-Thomas or Kooper. Nice length of concert for old folks like us.

I had never been to the Birchmere, nor seen the group "Blood, Sweat & Tears". But as a teenager I had listened too and enjoyed their songs in my life. It was an early Christmas gift for my husband who is a muscian. The group was amazing! The muscians are excellent and were very much insync with each other. Thank you for a lovely night!

I went to see Blood Sweat & Tears and the Animals. Blood Sweat and Tears were alright and the horn section was good, but I was not aware that they were not the original members. The Animals were a complete letdown. The band looked like they were just out of highschool and sounded worse. Eric Burdon's voice was terrible. I left early because I did not want to hear them do my favorite songs. It's my fault. I should have done more research and read recent reviews before buying tickets. I did not care for Dave Mason, but his fans seemed to enjoy his performance.

Dave Mason was great. He should have closed the show instead of opening it.
BS&T's were good.
Eric Burden and his grand children were fairly good. They had one practice together and it sounded like it. The band looked like they just got out of college.
Dave Mason carried the whole night. I would go see him anytime.

Dave Mason opened the show with an acoustic set that was awesome, but way too short. I honestly feel that the show was performed in reverse order, with the best opening and a decent middle, but it went downhill from there. The Animals were a group of young musicians that backed up Eric Burden.. It seemed rough and unrehearsed. It was the first time that I saw Dave Mason perform and I would go see him again as a headliner any day!

Eric Burdon has to be the coolest 71 year old in the world. He still rocks out when combining genres of Rock and Roll with Jazz and Blues. I felt him feeling each song he sang and enloyed it tremendously. Dave Mason took the stage along with a lead guitarist and, Man, can he still sing and play. From We just disagree to All Along the Watchtower! Amazing. Blood, Sweat and Tears had great musicians
and a fantastic horn session. The instrumentials were fantastic! Unfortunately there lead singer David Aldo did not belong in that group. His songs were "performed" lacking the conviction, rawness and edge that the David Clayton Thomas had recorded the songs with. Aldo took the bluesy "God Bless the Child" and turned it into a lounge act. Total disappointment to an otherwise great night!

3 great acts for the price of one in an intimate setting- a very enjoyable stroll down memory lane- each act has enough hit music to do a solo tour.
Dave Mason opened the show with songs from his various past collaborations as well as songs he composed for other artists.
Blood Sweat and Tears followed with lead singer David Aldo who did a decent job but David Clayton Thomas was definitely missed. Did some covers instead of other BS&T songs.Outstanding horn section.
Last but not least was Eric Burdon ( can't say with The Animals since none of them were born when these songs were recorded!) plus he said he had just met them the day before!
but they did an admirable job nevertheless.

The only one worth the price of the ticket was Dave Mason. Blood Sweat & Tears was a complete disaster. A cheap cover band. Eric Burdon was pretty good but there were no Animals. Another cover band. Dave Mason was great and gets 5 stars if he was the only one playing

I saw BS&T maybe a dozen times in their hey day.
BS&T without David Clayton Thomas is like the Capitol Bldg. in Wash, DC without the dome. It just does not look/sound right.
Sorry but until Thomas comes back this just ain't the same.

Blood Sweat & Tears should be a "tribute" band due to the lack of original members. This is a group of very talented musicians. The show was quite entertaining with some great music. Lead singer Jason Paige is energetic and soulful. He sounded just like David Clayton-Thomas {on helium)!!!

Having grown up listening to Blood, Sweat and Tears, yet, never getting to see them live, I jumped at the opportunity to take a buddy of mine (we both love bands with brass)to see them at the Grove in Anaheim. This is a great venue to see/hear live music and the food is pretty darn good too. The band did not dissapoint the throng of fans there to hear their catalogue of songs Their set was well laid out, they interacted with the audience between songs and the arrangements were well thought out and to my surprise, their musical proficiency was amazing!
The lead singer had the vocal chops to sing Spinning Wheel and God Bless the Child, and he had the charisma and stage presence required to front the band. Each musician also displayed personality and presence, which made for a very entertaining performance. My only dissapointment was that they left out Go Down Gambling from the set list (so I listened to it in the car on the way back home)!!

The musicians in this band are truly amazing and at the top of their field. They are so good that they would carry the show no matter who they have as their "front" man. I would have much preferred to hear a vocalist more similar to David Clayton Thomas, not an easy task. The band's current vocalist has a very good voice, incredible range, and a lot of energy, but in my opinion, he does not really match the style of B, S & T's music. Maybe a little more "throaty" baritone depth to his voice and a little less prancing around the stage would have helped for me personally.

B, S & T was awesome! I'm a musician with 40 years of performing live. And these guys are great musicians. Impressive! Everyone did a solo and all were outstanding! Jason Paige was a surprise. When he first appeared on stage I was worried. But he was as good or better than David. What range. Looking forward to seeing them again and again! And the Grove has the most comfortable folding chairs I've ever sat in anywhere. The chairs in the first five rows are top notch!

I saw BST 40 years ago and have maintained it was the best group concert I had ever seen. Seeing them again tonite, they didn't disappoint. Few groups and artists, old or new, know how to create music with outstanding musicianship fusing rock, pop, blues, jazz and classical. No drum machines, computers, pyrotechniques, overproductions, dancers or bored performers mailing it in. These guys know how to play, create, jam and perform with a melodical and musical purity that is rare in the assembly line offerings that have become the norm. Go, enjoy and be impressed.

I enjoyed the concert. The auditorium was nice and cozy! Also smoke free, thank you very much.
Blood, Sweat and Tears was awesome. We try and go to see all the 60's and 70's groups when they come to town.
However, the volume was turned up so high, I had some difficulty enjoying the music!
