What a show!!!
We have attended The Majestic in Dallas several times and have been totally blown away with the whole atmosphere!
Billy rocked the show - he was scheduled for 8:30pm and was on stage on time. His interaction with the crowd was unbelievable and his mix of very old (remember Generation X "King Rocker"?) and new stuff along with his backbone of popular hits was riveting! The stage set up was marvellous (No details - this would spoil it for people who have yet to see the show).
GO SEE HIM - YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

I travelled all the way from the UK to San Diego to see Billy and was not disappointed! What energy (and how fit does he look still?!) His singing was spot on and his performance was fantastic (the set was around 2 hours.) What a great venue this is - quite small and right on the harbour - it was an amazing sight to look down and see lots of boats full of people. Two downsides are Steve Stephens guitar was way too loud and did tend to drown out everyone else on stage; also Billy did not play Hot in the City, To be a Lover and You Don't Need a Gun. Billy Idol is definitely worth catching on tour though - do not miss out on his next one!

This is among my favorite events that i have attended at Humphrey's. It's hard to believe that Billy Idol's songs, his looks, his verve were as good as when I saw him 25 years ago.

I went with my sister and we loved it. Billy played new and old songs which was great. It was awesome to see everyone up on there feet singing along. Also Steve Stevens was tooo awesome for words. The entire experience was rockin'. I would see him again for sure. I only wish there was a way to meet the band after.

I have seen Billy many many times. He never disappoints. From his hits from the 80's to his new stuff, the dude simply rocks. Steve Stevens is also amazing. For the first time in a long time, he played Do Not Stand in the Shadows from Rebel Yell. It was awesome! He mixes his sets up quite a bit, keeping the energy up. He played 4 Gen X songs, as well. We had a suite with balcony that looked right at the stage. Easy to drink, easy to use the bathroom, and after show, easy to chill. There are many rooms with balconies that look to the stage, but ours was the closest and best. It was a hell of a party. We are going back on Monday to see Gavin Degraw and Carolina Liar

Billy Idol sounded great and as always he looked sexy! Steve Stevens is a guitar god!! I would recommend seeing Billy to everyone I know. He's still got it! I've seen bands that were popular in the 80s and they sound like crap but Billy sounded just like you were listening to one of his albums, that's how good it was. Now for my review on Humphrey's by the Bay, it's a beautiful setting, perfect size to see a show (not to big & not to small), I like that they have a full bar with barmaids as well but the seating arrangement sucks. It's just folding chairs set way to close together and the rows are way to close together as well. So if you're like me and you move around a lot (bathroom, drinks, dancing, etc) it sucks because you are frequently saying excuse me and stepping on toes. Also, I'm 5'3" so I had to look between people or I was looking at the back of some guys balding head. The seating is level it's not on an incline so if you're short like me bring your stilts. Besides the seating we had a fabulous evening!!

My wife has a knee that needs replacing. We got handicap 12 rows from center. Full moon was out third time seeing Billy. He and the warm up act had us up nearly every song. My wife boogied on and hobbled out of the venue. He still rocks the crowd. We are coming back for more more next season. Ted and Terri (tlo)

How old is this guy?!? Unbelievable energy and Steve Stevens will blow your mind as well. Of course, the venue - Mountain Winery - is an experience in itself. We hope Billy returns again next summer because we plan on buying seats even closer to the stage. .

3rd show in 2 years, wish I had the chance to see more!

although the genre was different each time I've had amazing experience each time.

the event was even more special because I was with my girl friend. although she does not know who Billy Idol was she was thoroughly impressed.

the venue was intimate and the vibe in the crowd was fantastic, there really are no bad seats in the house since I've sat in 3 different levels, appropriate for any budget.

thanks Billy Idol for continuing to rock, thanks Mt winery and staff for making me look like a super star infront of my girl and a most memorable date night!

He looked and sounded great but didn't sing some of the songs that I went specifically to see such as Hot In The City, Dancing With Myself, and Rock The Cradle Of Love. When the lights came on, I stood there thinking , "Seriously? That's it? It's over?"
