Michael McDonald brought back a lot of memories from our past. My husband and I really loved the concert and both of us are in our 60's and can relate to the music we sang to in our earlier years. Boz Scaggs had a few songs we remembered and a few that we didn't remember. All in all a great night of music.

I'll admit I only went to see Boz, with some hope that I would enjoy Michael McDonald. No such luck. Have never cared for MM's music and this really confirmed it for me. I think he sounds the same in every same sounding song, has no range, or stage presence. Also, he looked like he was working awfully hard (sweating profusely and wiping his brow) producing a less than exciting performance. And finally, along came Boz. A much different performance from Hampton Beach. The same magnetic stage presence, velvety voice, and effortless magic. He (again) played 3 different guitars. He talked quite a bit to the audience (different from Hampton Casino) explaining background and influences of some songs.On 3 occasions I heard his back-up band (not as good as Hampton) drop the ball/timing. Boz picked up the pieces beautifully~~ad-libbing, etc. He looked a tad tired.. Maybe the tour is getting to him, but like fine wine he's getting better with age. Standing O's for every song and word spread to the casino about his great show!!! The chemistry is wonderful and kinda' flirty between Boz and Miss Monet who was in great voice. She rocked with "I'm gonna Knock on Your Door." As usual, tears flowed during "Look What You've Done to Me." Seeing and hearing Boz again was worth every minute of 4 hour trip, but I sure wish he'd play Boston soon....Why, I'll even "put him up!!" The 5***** are only for Boz!!

Michael McDonald was great but Boz and his band played an awesome set and stole the show.
