Shuggie and his band are great, but they were fighting the sound guy all night. Constant mic feedbacks, low to sometimes nonexistent vocals and complete disregard of maybe pushing up a fader more when a musician was taking a solo. I seriously kept looking back at the console to see if there was even a person sitting behind it. A dreadful mush of unbalanced sound that really ruined my experience of seeing one of my favorite performers.

Shuggie!! I didn't know much of him until my guy, a music aficionado, played a song of his for me. Words cannot fully describe the experience... the closest thing I can think of is that the show was like a tantric musical orgasm. Funk. Soul. R&B. Blues. All divine, especially the new records.

There were a few technical difficulties at the start; it seemed as if the connections between instruments, mics, and amps were hosed up. But after a few patch cord changes, everything evened out, and the sound was great for the rest of the show.
Shuggie had a very tight band who all seemed to be enjoying the hell out of playing.

I've been a fan of Shuggie since 1983, when a friend had a vinyl copy of Shuggie's Boogie. We listened to it over and over and wondered why nobody had ever heard of this guy, and what had become of him. (Remember, early 80s...no google-net). With the advent of Google and amazon.com I was able to score CDs of Shuggie's Boogie and Information Inspiration. Can't wait to get the latest release!
Venue: Howard Theater is a fantastic venue: very modern, classic lines, looks like an original art deco/speakeasy type of place. Very attentive waitstaff, two huge bars, and resonable prices. Hint: your gratuity is included in your bill. I didn't notice that so I tipped twice, but what the hell, the martinis were awesome.

Shuggie Otis exceeded my expectations. His music is beautiful, and the guitar playing was sublime.

The show was great and the Howard Theater is beautiful. With so many screeching guitar solos though it started to get a bit exhausting to the system. An acoustic show would have been that much better.

Shuggie and his band were great, but $50 for a show that was an hour and a half seems very pricey.

I enjoyed the Shuggie Otis show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Having never seen the previously inactive Otis leave, I had to recalibrate my expectations as he launched in the heavier, chugging funk versions of songs from his popular Freedom Flight in Inspiration Information albums. He also revisited his beginnings with several blues numbers. All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable show.

Shuggie was amazing, the sound quality in the venue was great, lighting was good. The venue's policies are ridiculous and will spoil your night if you pay any attention to their rules.
