Featured Review

Two powerhouses of southern funk and gospel pull out all the stops at the Palace. from the first note from Dr. John performing some of his great songs and then backing up the BB of A it was a great night. the Lower 911, Dr Johns band rocked the house as they always do with that Louisiana, Bayou and Voodoo sound that has made Dr. John a powerhouse. The BB of A came out about 40 minutes into the show and showed everyone just how great they are as the institution of southern spiritual music. Put both in a mixer and you have an incredibly entertaining as well as powerful evening.
Thanks to everyone on stage for an incredible evening.

For various reasons, I won't make Jazz Fest this year, so what a treat in my own backyard. I last saw Dr. John in October at the Wilson Center w/ Blind Boys of Alabama, which was also a great show. Dr. John's current band is really top notch; love his trombone player! I felt Dr. John was a bit more relaxed and at home with this venue. As for Aaron Neville, also fabulous, and what a great band he had! Both did a nice mix of recent material from latest releases as well as old favorites.

We were headed down from Madison to Milwaukee for the concert and over half way there, we realized we had forgotten our tickets - thanks to your "lost ticketsdept" and how quickly they helped up out, we didn't have to double back to Madison - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Dr. John was equally satisfying - great venue, great performance make for a wonderful night. If and when he comes back, we will be getting tickets though you for his concert again. Thanks for making our night memorable in many good ways. pv

Dr. John was Dr. John -Beautiful light purple suit and white hat with shades-he plays a great piano and sings like a pretty foghorn with soul - The woman in the band that he called his musical director played outstanding jazz trombone. Aaron Neville sang beautifully, and his brother, Charles, played the most in tune and expressive tenor sax I have heard. Great vocal harmonies from the band!

The opening act- Bonaventure Quartet was awesome. Never heard of them- they were accomplished musicians with a bluesy vibe and lots of fun. They rocked out on their own and other tunes. I will def check them out. Dr John- what can I say? He just gets better and better. I saw him years ago in New Orleans, and it is obvious he loves performing and loves the music of his home. I cannot find the name of the woman playing the trombone, but she was a superstar! We loved everything about the concert except the fact that it had to end. Everyone left wanting MORE!

Simply amazing show - the whole band was outstanding, and of course Dr. John is a legend. He gave a great show, and completely rocked the house!

Sarah Morrow also must be mentioned - she handles that trombone like a master, and did an excellent job as musical director.

Highly recommended - if you like funky music you will not be disappointed!

Seeing Dr. John was a thrill. Having listened to his (mostly more popular recordings) for many years, and knowing of the hundreds (maybe thousands) of recordings he has guested-on over such a long time, this was a time for us to get a more personal prescription filled.

Ranging from his commercially known great rendition of IKO IKO to his hit "Right Place, Wrong Time" to social commentary such as "And the Monkey Speaks His Mind" (not sure if this is the title, but it's memorable), and back and forth from bayou/swamp sounds to jazz to rock to blues to a bit of dixieland to standards and things that elude definition; what a tremendous show.

His band is tight and fun. His musical director, a female trombone player who shared backing vocals with the rest of the band, was nothing short of phenomenal.

I didn't realize the Dr. also played guitar, and a wicked bit of rock and blues guitar at that.

Dr. John exploded with wonderful songs and stage presence. It was enjoyable and memorable. Took me back to classic New Orleans jazz/funk/fusion. You can't go wrong attending another Dr. John concert. Prices of tickets also a positive experience.

My wife and I had been looking forward to this concert for some time. We even were able to get front row seats. But, when we arrived, we saw that the stage had a concert piano right across the center of it, and another keyboard diagonal to that. So, for the show, all we got to see were the legs of the piano, and the trombonist. she was great, by the way, as were the Blind Boys, but Dr. John never interacts with the audience, and the positioning of the instruments was horrible. We couldn't see the bassist, drummer, or guitarist. Very disappointing show.

Great classic Dr John with an inspirational gospel/blues vocal group that had everyone on their feet clapping and dancing. Highlight was when one of the Blind Boys (men) was escorted into the audience and sang with various members. Great time and great venue.
