this was the worst concert I have ever attended. Bruce Hornsby killed every song with his improvosion. just one song played the way it was recorded would have saved this from a total diaster.

Did not expect the long drawn out progressive jazz in his songs. If he planned on doing a jazz recital it should have been noted during ticket sales. I have been a fan of Bruce Hornsby since 1989 , however I would not go see him again unless he is playing with the band.

Loved his show... So eclectic! From classical to jazz to blue grass he displayed his amazing piano playing with passion. He played almost two hours.

Love Bruce Hornsby music, but was very disappointed he did not have a band with him.
Venue seats are very tight with little leg room. Sound system gave off feed back.

Scottish Rite Auditorium is a great place to see a concert, only wish they had a live person to speak to when calling. Bruce was excellent, his voice sounds just like it always has, we got to see his real talent up close. Played favorites, great covers and newer stuff, liked everything he did. Interacted with the crowd, I feel like I know him, he is a funny guy.
Even missed the best game in Ravens history for this show. Ravens beat Denver!!
Excellent

Been a quarter century Bruce fan, and have seen him all over the country, but this was likely our last show. I have always appreciated Bruce's gift at the piano and improvisational skills, but he has now gone from making songs fresh to rendering them unnoticeable. He has taken the the soul out of the songs that had real meaning. He also now seems have disdain for his own music...the music people have embraced for all these years. Even his stories are told with sarcasm, at best, and a touch of hostility. Oddly, he spent a good part of the night making fun of an older couple in the front row for coming to hear his old music and almost taunting them that they wouldn't hear much of it (which turned out to be the case). A moment we were anxiously looking forward to for months (the show was rescheduled due to Sandy) turned out to be one we would rather forget. We will not return to see the artist, as we would prefer to embrace his music...something he no longer does himself.

Not the first time I've seen Mr. Hornsby solo, but this time was very impressed with the other places he took the piano. The segues and side steps into the classical pieces, the distance between the left and right hand, highlights his virtuosity.

He is a truly talented piano player as everyone knows and he is serious about rearranging the songs from his catalog to keep them fresh to his ears. But is was a little too avant-garde for me. Can't win 'em all.

As he said, if you go to hear his old songs, you will be disappointed. He plays them, but in very different arrangements - lots of crazy 'spider fingers'! Banging on the keys like Schroeder from Peanuts.

Bruce was great .... A very entertaining evening. it was very nice to see him without the band , it was very personal and a look at his talent that you don't get to see when he's playing with the band .

Bruce Hornsby put on a good concert even though he was "solo". It would have sounded better with a full band backing him up.But for being all alone, He did a great Job. His Piano work is top notch, as he proved again On Weds. night.

I saw Bruce near Philly in February. We went for Valentine's Day. He maybe played one well-known song and we are huge fans. People were disappointed. We love his music and I know it probably gets repetitive playing the old stuff, but that's what people like. He talked too much and not enough music. And we like the fact he talks to audience, but it was too much. I wanted to try to see him again in Wilkes Barre in a few weeks, but $86 for one ticket may be too much of a gamble again. I hope they drop some of the prices.

Bruce Hornsby performed a great concert at the Ocean City NJ Music Pier. Bruce sang some of his early hits such as one of my favorites - The End of the Innocence - along with Mandolin Rain, and the Valley Road. He engaged the audience with some improvisation and mixed in some of his own versions of Super Freak and Under the Boardwalk song classics as well. His talented band contributed to the fun. Overall, the performance was enjoyable and I would highly recommend his concert for all family members.
