As expected, Mr. Johnson provide a wonderful experience. He played songs the fans all would recognize like Zap or Rain. He also did some cover songs from Jimi Henricks and Robert Johnson.

It as a great concert and I am glad I attended.

First of all Eric Johnson didn't come on until very late, it was 45 min after the first band finished, half the house was asleep by the time he started! The gear was already there, they just had to clear out the first bands stuff. Eric Johnson's performance was amazing as ever, but the volume in the intimate House of Blues was excruciating! Even with earplugs my ears were ringing the next day. I hate to wear ear plugs because that muffles the highs, but I had no choice if I wanted to survive this show. What is up!? I know HOB is capable of good sound, I've heard it. I just don't get it. I also would have liked to have heard more of Eric's stuff featuring his finesse and creative progressions, but he chose to make this more of a blues night with several covers as well...I understand an artist's choice, but wasn't my favorite. The opening act should have been something other than a SRV starter kit. This crowd came to see an awesome player in Eric Johnson and was geared for that, so starting with another guitarist was not what I wanted to see...maybe a singer or keyboardist or even something acoustic? I will go to see Eric next time he is in town, providing it is not HOB.

This was my 10th time to see eric and 5th time to see alien love child. The band was awesome. This was the best show ive seen, the band was excellent. The first time i saw them, they played last house on the block and ive been waitng to hear it again. all i can say is WOW!!!!! It was also a surprise to hear them do the old blues tunes ...i loved it.
This show was a change from the standard hit concerts. Ive been to 20 shows at HOB i can say the sound was suberb for ec & alc.

Eric has got to be one of the most accomplished guitarists ever. Not only is he talented he's a true Texas gentleman. He absolutely tore it up at The House of Blues on Aug, 27. Can't wait to see Eric and Alien Love Child again sometime.

It was like a seminar on guitar sound and technique.
Four amps all miked separately.

The Gibson SG was nice to see and hear.
I thought I heard some Who Live at Leads.
I think they did a tribute to Entwhistle.
The Hendrix and Clapton was nice to hear done HIS way.

The bass player was also worth a show by himself.

I've enjoyed Eric for years now and he didn't disappoint. Someone once said that this great guitarist has more nuance in his little finger than most of his colleagues have in their entire bodies. Eric is so good that this is not necessarily a slight on his colleagues. It's great to watch the best in the world perform at their specialty and Eric still seems the best in the world. I bought a ticket for my son who is in his mid-twenties. It turned out to be a great evening of cross-generational sharing. Thanks, Eric, for once again sharing your extraordinary talent.

I had a fantastic time and no issues with the ticket from TicketMaster. In fact, I received Eric Johnson signature and the end of the concert. I had such a fantastic time and if you have not seen this great guitar player, please make the time to do so. He is one of the greatest guitar player of our time. Thank you, Eric and TicketMaster.

I've seen Eric Johnson in concert so many times and he seems to get better every time. It could only have been better if he had played more blues! Understand, I'm not complaining, I've always been moved by his soulful style and tone with his blues playing.

The Dallas House of Blues is a great place to see a show. Eric Johnson ripped through his own material (which I didn't know besides Cliffs of Dover) and played Howling Wolf, Robert Johnson, and Jimi Hendrix. The man is an incredible musician. Alien Love Child completes him; the rhythm section rocked.

Eric seemed so consumed witht the technical aspects that it didn't come across as him having any fun at all. He played to this bass guitarist and drummer more than he did the audience. I think being in the studio so long has put him out of touch with his fans.

Eric and band were very, very good. Do wish they would have played "Cliffs of Dover" though. Jake Andrews (the opener) was not so hot. Poor tone, songs sound the same.
