Boz Scaggs is still one of my favorite artists of all time. His voice is as strong and smooth as it was over 30 years ago when I saw him in Ft. Worth! I hope he returns to Houston soon - I will buy front row tickets again!

Concert was great Michael McDonald started out slow then kicked it up at the end. Bozz was great throughout. Audience was a bit dead...My fiancee got into it right away. She loves Michael Mcdonald hence why I got the tickets. Seats were ok. a bit tight! and off to the side for orchestra prices.

I could tell that Boz was a little tired after such a long stretch of touring . . . he and his band sometimes seemed to speed up or rush some of the songs. I also thought that his female back up singer was a bit too visible, and "in your face", but as usual, Boz was his elegant and generous self and let her have some of the lime light. I just didn't particularily enjoy her style. I have seen Boz Scaggs shows that I have liked more than this one, however, he is so fabulous, I still would reccomend to any and everyone. We are blessed that he comes to Minneapolis as often as he does. I just hope he never stops.

That's my lowdown.

Boz was in prime form. He hit all the high notes, and his singing was top notch. his back-up singer was phenomenal and brought a perfect balance and energy to the show. This was the first time we saw hm in concert and we were not disappointed. And normally we are not huge fans of songs we don't know, but the song selection introduced us to new "old" songs that we enjoyed as well. In addition, we know him for his singing and songwriting, but his guitar playing was nuanced and complemented his singing very well. We were also impressed by his musical range, from rock to pop, to ballads, to blues, to jazz. I would highly recommend seeing him in concert. He did not disappoint.

Boz Plays The Hits -- And Plays It Safe

In a blatant attempt to assure his fans that this would not be another snooze-fest promoting his latest CD of jazz standards, the concert poster prominently promised that Boz would be playing "his hits" with his "full band." Beginning with "Hercules" from the "Slow Dancer" album, the playlist was just as advertised: anyone who came to hear "Lowdown" (and the handful of other songs that made the Top 40) got their money's worth. Boz was as silky smooth and engaging as ever, including a couple of songs from his "Dig" CD as well as a Fats Domino tune from "Come On Home," in his 90-minute set. While the "full band" did not include an actual horn section, Boz's rhythm section was as tight and polished as ever -- and his long-time backup vocalist, Monet, overlayed a magical sheen to the proceedings, as well as a searing solo of her own. There were even two encores, one of which included the obligatory and always wonderful "Loan Me A Dime." It all added up to a very safe and enjoyable evening with a true American musical treasure. Unfortunately, the absence of any songs from his three most interesting albums, the CBS releases from 1971 and 1972, coupled with the lack of a full horn section, prevented this show from equaling his previous performances in the Twin Cities. But hopefully he'll be back -- and soon!

Boz Scaggs was absolutely awesome. His vocals were as smooth as ever and his band was great! Loved the female vocalist, her range was superb. Have always loved the jazz influence of some of the early stuff and now that he leans even more that way, it's better than ever! I will make it a point to be at the next Boz event here in MN.

It brought back old memories. Bozz's voice was crisp and right on. He sounded exactly like
Bozz years ago. We had one of the best seats in the house. It was unforgettable. We loved it. The female singer was so awesome. Beautiful voice too. The whole band rocked the house.

I've seen Boz 3 times over the past 5 some years. 1st time @the State was w/a big band, doing mainly jazz standards.
Then last winter @the Dakota, small combo, doing jazz & some "small" versions of his hits.
This time, again @the State, he was playing more of his hits.
Regardless of the setting, set list, or musicians, he is always completely satisfying, especially as he always surrounds himself w/tremendous musicians. The music always sounds fresh, played w/enthusiasm and maturity.
As I listened to his catalog of hits, was reminded by his versatility and his uncanny ability to flow into a wide variety of genres effortlessly and with such competence.
While not quite a sell-out, the crowd was enthusiastic, helping to energize the musicians on stage.
A great evening!

Opening act sound was loud and distorted, but the sound for Boz was sharp, clear and superb! I don't know how he can have so many great songs and he sounds just as great as 30 years ago. Glad he has finally discovered that the Twin Cities LOVES him. His back up singer was the frosting on the cake. An amazing two hours, I would see him over an over again, any time I can.

Thoughly enjoyed seeing Boz Scaggs! Had been watching his webpage for a year in hopes that he would perfrom near me. Great show, did all his hits. Did a couple of R&B covers which were solid. His band was superb and his backup singer was excellent. A neat moment was when she sang a solo and had the crowd going crazy. Over 1,000 in attendence and all seemed to have a great time.

I am proud of myself for having become a fan of Boz while I was still in my teens. It showed a maturity beyond my years that I couldn't fully appreciate until now that I am middle aged! He is quite a talented guitarist and may have been separated at birth from twin brother Eric Clapton. His voice was as smooth as ever and his female vocalist was outstanding in her own right. Seems that Boz would agree as he did not mind backing her with the band as he turned the stage over to her for a powerful rendition of Stevie Wonders 'Till you come back to me'. He played all his hits and took two encore calls and finished with a tune that patronized his adoring fans "Because of You'. My fantasy came true when my handsome groom danced with me in the aisle to 'Love, look what you've done to me". It was like a personal serande from Boz who recorded that very song for JUST US over 25 years ago.
