$85, yes, EIGHTY FIVE dollars for a squashed in but VERY close seat at the Majestic. GREAT close-up, but very uncomfortably squeezed into the seat, and I'm a normal sized guy. Concert began at 8:07, first encore was 9:10 to MANY boos, VERY course cussing from those around me, and unbelievable stares "this is IT?" "its over already?"
FIFTEEN songs, 4 of which were encores. (three unknown songs, one of the new ones was good, other two never EVER heard of, just barely so so...)
Sound ok, not bad, but not great. Monitor problems for the band, as they stated, and apparently didnt get resolved.
QUALITY of music and show was good... again not great, or even VERY good, just good. new keyboard dude incredible, their claim to fame double drumming? yawnnn... and I'm a drummer. VERY boring and not fun like back in the day. The "new" drummer was totally bored and it was so obvious he was just a "paid fill in". DOOBIES, you are GREAT memories, Amazing songs, I will always Listen To The Music, but tonight you totally ripped me off, in my humble opinion.
Patrick and Tommy rocked as usual, and Longtooth McFee was incredibly the most talented. Reverse to 1999, $45 at Cynthia Woods Pavillion to see Doobies open for Chicago and play almost as MUCH, then a full show by CHICAGO!!! FFWD ten years, DOUBLE the ticket price, and only one band.... RIPPED OFF. VERY disappointed, and totally surprised that this "fan based" band for so long, played such a short concert.
GROUCHY and VERY mean tee shirt hawker, over crowded, sold out sizes of best tee shirts, he didn't get ANY of my money the way he acted and the lack of service he gave.
VERY rude ushers made us feel like we were criminals just for trying to high five the band members. Those that were taking pictures were made to feel like FELONS. The ushers, probably as much as the ripped off SHORT concert, was the worst part of the evening.
