We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and Rita's friendly style. Was wonderful to hear her sing some of her old favorites, and she had a great backup group with her. Being around her age, we felt like we were with friends.

although she was a bit pitchy on a few songs, her true passions were her duets which were song so well with her drummer. She seemed so comfortbable with her older songs and as the night went on we were able to see some of her sense of humor.

Rita put on a great show. She has a very smooth voice and has a lot of hits over the years that you just don't hear on the radio anymore so it was nice to be able to hear them again. Her band was excellent. Her dummer sang a few songs with her. it was a great show and i would reccomend seeing.

I much enjoyed the recent Rita Coolidge concert at the Mesa Arts Center. Ms. Coolidge has become a wonderful chantruese and, more than that, a terrific stylist. Her mild and warm personality were a large part of the entertainment factor.She makes the audience feel very welcome.

I was disappointed in Rita's performance. Her original beautiful voice is still there but she chose not to use it, instead she kept pulling her microphone away from her mouth such a beautiful talent wasted for whatever reason

After looking forward to attending the Rita Coolidge concert we were very disappointed with the show. Although the musicians were very talented, and, obviously trying to cover for the bad singing, we could hardly wait for the show to end. Rita has lost her voice and delivered the show without enthusiam or enjoyment. She sang a lot of blues and jazz songs and only a few of her former hits. She appeared disoriented at times. At the end of the show she got a "courtesy" standing ovation but patrons were turning and leaving their seats before the house lights came on. I got the impression no one wanted to encourage any more singing. It's time to retire Rita. You no longer put on a good show and your voice is definitely a thing of the past. This was indeed a very sad show.

We really enjoyed Rita Coolidge. The venue was great. Acoustics good, even though the sound man had a few problems in the beginning. Rita's backup group was first class. Piano and guitar were amazing.

Had I closed my eyes through the entire concert, I would not have known who was singing. That is not the sound of the Rita Coolidge I remember. I understand that she is approaching 66 years of age, but I was dissapointed.

The show was billed as the Rita Coolidge Christmas Concert, which included a group of young middle-school singers, who sounded lovely, both by themselves and singing with Rita. I enjoyed all of the music; however, I wish Rita could have sung a few more easy-on-the-ears songs from her classic "Out of the Blues" album or just more of any of the beautiful classic ballads she sings so beautifully.

Great voice; nice selection of Christmas songs plus some of her hits. She has a great sense of humour, excellent facial expressions thereby adding humour to the show. Audiance was very appreciative. Local choir joined her for several songs including Amaqzing Grace in Cherokee.

I am 64 and I took my wife, 18 year old son and 15 year old daughter. My kids did not know who she was but enjoyed the Christmas themed show. I enjoyed hearing some of her old hits mixed with the Christmas songs and I greatly enjoyed the traditional Christian songs. Very nice quartet backed her up.

Rita is still a stunning beauty and has a lovely voice. I enjoyed looking at her as much as hearing her.
