Colin not only has a talent in singing, song writing, and playing guitar, he is also a great story teller and is quite humorous as well. If he comes here again I will definately rally my friends to join me. He should be selling out much larger venues!

Myself and brother went and we are 21 and 18 years old and both love and admire Colin Hay's music. This was an awesome concert. a nice setting made you feel like even though he was telling stories to the audience it felt like he was just holding a conversation with you. His guitar playing was spot on and clean and crisp. His voice was perfect. Simply put this concert was an amazing experience, I highly recommend Colin Hay for everybody!

Colin Hay is the full package. He told great stories, played his heart out, and sang his own songs with great feeling. He was funny and had an amazing voice. He peppered the show with "hits" and played newer songs for us as well.

The venue was perfect. not a bad seat in the house. Colin sounded amazing live. Love the way he wove personal stories and anecdotes throughout. it felt like we a were all just hanging out for a great night together. Thinking that Colin Hay would be a great guest to have for dinner! Great sense of humor and a gift for story telling.
Definitely will see him again when he's in town.

Setlist: He performed " Who Can It Be Now, Overkill, and ended the night with Be Good Johnny. He also sang Wayfaring Sons, and many of his best solo songs. @

I have been a loyal fan, with great memories as a child. I followed Colin's solo career the first two albums.
This was a one man acoustical show, and he only performed 3 Men A Work songs, and the rest was his unknown solo music, but nonetheless this was a fantastic concert, that left you so pleased, and surprised. :)

I loved this concert because of his story telling, full of life personality, and he sounds better than ever. It's a real treat to watch him perform. He's still AMAZING!!!

My husband and I are HUGE fans of Colin Hay since seeing him in Edinburgh, Scotland during the Fringe Festival in 2004. He is a great story teller, guitarist, singer and an outstanding performer. We also saw him perform in Monmouth, New Jersey, Bethlehem, PA in addition to last Friday at Town Hall in New York City. We can't wait until he tours again and hopefully it will be very soon. After every show, he is very kind to spend a few minutes with his fans to pose for a photo and autograph one of his CD's so you can remember the special night. Please Colin, book your next upcoming gigs for the summer and we will definately be there again to listen to your beautiful songs and hopefully say hello.

Colin Hay was the total showman. He had the best stories, which engaged everyone in the show. Self depricating for no reason as his talent far exceeds number of records sold. His voice was a strong as ever and he made his guitar sing.

Was a fantastic show. Ive always liked Colin Hay but after seeing his show for the 1st time I like him even more, and will definitely see him again if I get the chance. Loved how he told a story about each song he sung and how he came outside afterwards to sign autographs and take photos.

Great show! Even if you're not a huge fan or follower of Colin Hay I highly recommend seeing him live. As much a comedian as a musician he told funny stories between songs about people he's met and events of his life. His voice is as good and strong as it ever was (and he's not a bad guitar player either).

The Birchmere is a great venue with not a bad seat in the house. The seating system is a little non-conventional (you show up and get a line ticket and wait in the lobby before they open the doors and seat everyone in blocks based on their ticket number). Food was better than expected (although pricey) and the beer selection was much better than the standard American mass-market "beers".

This is my third time seeing Colin Hay over the past 10 years. As always, his shows are fantastic. He has a beautiful voice and his stories are incredibly funny. The show was about 2-1/2 hours with the opening act and I enjoyed all of it.

Colin Hay was indeed simply awesome in every way. His voice was incredible, and he played every song on my wish list. He was also surprisingly funny, and great with the audience. Hay is incredibly talented, and puts on a great show. This venue (Town Hall, NYC) was perfect for his intimate performance, too.

Colin Hay is awesome......unforgetable show...would def. see him again......as for the Keswick, the seats in the back are distracted by the patrons who choose to drink through the show at the bar rather than actually take their seat.....complained twice to the staff......moved us to 3rd row seats !

Strip away the cheesy 80s production, and the Men-at-Work songs are great songs, but that is just a small part of what you get. It's like a peek inside the life of a great songwriter and (who knew?) amazingly talented guitar player.

This was a very memorable evening for me because somehow I ended up in the 3rd row for Hay's performance, was in row 6 for Ryan Montbleau, who is an incredibly talented songwriter and performer.

I've always been a big Colin Hay fan, mainly for his voice and fun personality, he's just a character, someone you can't ignore. My appreciation for his talent began back in the 80s with Men at Work and was renewed in 2002 when I saw him on the "My Overkill" episode of Scrubs, then strengthened when I heard a song from his solo work on the film "Garden State."

When I heard of his scheduled tour which would land him at a venue near me I couldn't miss the opportunity, and as I sat in the 3rd row watching him perform some hits from Men at work and songs from his long solo career, I was enthralled.

Colin Hay likes to tell stories, and that's not a bad thing. He probably didn't play as many songs as he could have, but he engaged the audience with many comical and touching anecdotes. Including one about Paul McCartney washing his dishes. The stories, and Colin's appealing character gave the music that much more impact when he sang.

I will definitely go see Colin Hay again the next time he's in town.

I have seen Colin Hay dozens of times and have been a huge fan of his for years. I missed him last year at World Cafe Live so was willing to go out to Keswick Theater. When I got there I was "shushed" in the lobby while I was getting a drink from the bar with a friend. This shushing wasn't once but continuously during the opening act (about 30 min.) I have never been shushed at a concert before. Then, once we sat down and Colin came on, I was disappointed to hear him mostly talking to the crowd for the whole concert instead of his usual 20/80 talking, playing. The crowd also seemed very uptight and rude. Example of this was after sitting down, my seat slipped to the leaning back position which I was unaware the seats at the Keswick did. After the second time this happened (completely by accident) the guy behind me leaned over and said in a very annoyed voice "could you stop that?!?" Needless to say, it was a very disappointing show from start to finish.
