It had been over 10 years since I'd seen her live and it was much too long. She is a brilliant, beautiful human and her music and performance communicates that to the audience. It's been almost two days since I attended the concert and I'm still high with the energy and still smiling when I think of it.

Tracy Chapman is incredible, since she put her feet on stage I really enjoy that. Before her there was an other excelente singer . The unique unconfortable happened was between both, long time to start the presentation. How I bought floor tickets I get stand up for long time and when Tracy came I already was with my legs tired to be there, really tired and I m not old. But her perfect voice, music and all her sweet personalite did me keep watching the show.

What an Awesome concert. The sound was just amazing.
The only thing that soiled the whole night was a really drunk, loud mouth girl who sat behind us, and the sound guy, who could not find his seat until half way through. We were luckly as we got to move 4 rows back from the front. But i felt bad for the others who were stuck with the loud mouth. But the sound was just amazing. I hope she comes to New Zealand, as i am heading home in a few months.

I absolutely adore Tracy Chapman; she is a great performer and is very personable, charismatic, and honest. This was a great show! I saw her several years ago at the same venue and she was awesome then too. The only thing that would have made this experience better would have been a different venue; the O'Shaughnessy is a totally seated venue, it would be nice to be able to stand, dance, and jam out with fellow Tracy Chapman lovers.

I last saw Tracy many years ago in Dallas. Her concert on August 18, 2009, was all I could have imagined. Her voice was great, and her band was excellent too. Tracy sang just about all of the favorite oldies, including "Fast Car," "Give Me One Reason," "Talking About a Revolution," "Baby Can I Hold You," etc. And she mixed in a good dose of songs from her most recent CD, "Our Bright Future." Tracy seems quite shy, but she even talked a little bit more, which was charming. She seemed to enjoy the audience's enthusiasm to her and to her music. Her encore included "Smoke and Ashes" and "Proud Mary," a cover that I believe Tina Turner would have enjoyed! Great venue by the bay, great voice, great night!! Please come back to Dallas, Tracy!

Lucky kayakers, boats sitting at the dock! They got an excellant show to enjoy. We got front row and would do it all over again. Her humble, small band played great and they all know, this is Tracy's show. They never upstage her. Loved the box drum, loved every song. She even played the song we kept shouting out for (Smoke & Ashes). Love her beautiful, dimpled smile. She just glows with sweetness, richness without appearing fake or tired.we were worried since she traveled so much this tour! The song list had a lot of the older stuff and thats always a treat. Its been a long time since she was in town. Look forward to her coming back again. Her latest album is excellant. I am still singing her tunes in my head. Such soul, such depth. Really, if you have never heard her live, go for it, She won't disappoint.

I've always thought Tracey is a very talented artist and definately has unique gifts but after seeing her I'm completely blown away. I've seen several events at Humphrey's but this one is definately going to be one of the tops on my list. As a person Tracey is funny, sweet, humble, and she simply has a glow that attracts the audience like moths to a flame. Her band was not that great at all but it didnt' seem to matter because of Tracey's incredible sultry voice and her musical talents. She was constantly changing instruments; my favorite was when she went off on the beat box and bongos. You know it's going great when the whole audience stands, starts dancing and singing along. She was simply breathtaking and I'm so honored to have had the opportunity to see her perform!

This concert was my first time at Humphrey's and I couldn't be happier! The setting was superb, the lighting and sound was first rate and it's small enough that I could actually enjoy the music and scene.

Will have to find more money and time to get back!

It was a great concert overall. Tracy Chapman is amazing, her voice so unique and beautiful. She sang her old songs which i love like fast car, a promise, baby i hold you and revolution and some great new songs. The only thing i didn't like about the concert was that the seating at the Humphreys venue was very unconfortable. It is a nice outdoor venue but please have better seats with more space between them. Also, they didn't allow cameras so we could not keep any memories...

What an incredible concert filled with passion and energy! Tracy's unique vocals and exceptional guitar playing skills made this a night to remember. This was my first ever concert at Humphreys Concerts By the Bay and it was very intimate and cozy, especially since we had front-row seats near the stage. I strongly recommend any Tracey Chapman concert if you like hearing a person who performs well live and invokes audience participation.

Tracy's performance at Humphrey's is the best I've seen in a long time. She had a great mix of new and old songs. She seems to be more at ease and looks very happy! It's so wonderful how she mixed up her slow songs with more upbeat tempo and energy. I can't wait to see her again in San Francisco!

This was the 4th time for me seeing Tracy, although the last time was some 12 years ago. I had forgotten what a great show she delivers! She makes you laugh and even cry at her touching and thoughtful lyrics and melodies. She genuinely connects with her audience and can take you from tears to rockin' your socks off. This was a reminder to me that any time she is playing nearby, I need to go see her!!!

One of the best concerts I have seen to date. The setting: San Diego Bay. The Music: A mixture of oldies and new songs. The atmosphere: Electric!
Tracy is a musical icon. She looks and sounds exactly like she did when I first heard her in the 80s. She brought back so many good memories.
I just loved this concert. I will definitely see her again if she is back in the area.

After a longer break between the opener and the start than the audience was comfortable with (about 40 min) Tracy and her band of 3 others came out. She kept the audience rapt from the first song to her last. Her band was really in sync and I especially liked watching the drummer who seemed like she was just having a great time hanging out and playing. She played a mix of old favorites and a few new ones for about 2 hours. I would give her 4.5 but there is no 0.5star.
Now for the venue- Humphrey's is in a beautiful setting by the water but there is no elevation to the seating so if someone stands up or if a bigger person sits in front, no one can see. Secondly, the seats are hard folding chairs that are tied together so you get about 20" of very uncomfortable seating space. Even when we were standing, we were cramped. Finally, I think they are packing the rows closer . There was barely room to walk between the rows to our seats and I noticed that often people would just leave the row and step into the aisle to let people go in and out. One couple probably missed a lot of the show because the people next to them kept getting up to go who knows where. A word to the audience at Humphreys - please don't keep leaving your seat. If you can't stay in one place for 2 hours maybe you shouldn't be going to this venue.
