Have seen REK many times and always a must see show. Great performer with one of the most solid bands in the business. Can't wait till he comes around this way again.

REK was simply amazing - as he always is. The venue suits him and his style well - very intimate setting and it allowed for what felt like a personal experience. This was my first show at the Birchmere, and as a venue, it was awesome. If you haven't been, be aware that there is no seating, which was certainly not an issue for REK - I don't think anyone would have been seated anyway.

The only thing I wish is, in previous shows he has done an acoustic version of Billy Joe Shaver's Live Forever at the end of his set - and I wish he had done that this time as well. It is the best version I have ever heard.

The show was lots of fun. Robert Earle was a good strong performer and his side men are fantastic, especialyl on guitar, dobro, and pedal steel. The songs were all.good with four ir five really great, crowd rousing numbers. Until.the encore. He ended the show with two of his weakest songs. That was certainly the concensus of the comments of people heading to the parking lot. It wasn't worth waiting for the post-concert crush.

REK was funny, engaging, and sounded great. Great mix of old and new songs. Everyone there was pumped to see him, come to Boston more often Robert!
Venue was terrific...cool old architecture and great acoustics.

Robert Earl Keene rocked the stage at Irving Plaza. Played his most popular songs which gives the crowd the opportunity to participate. Loved this show and would come back to see him again.

Favorite moment: There were several, due to the band's ability to move thru various dynamic levels of many favorite songs @

Opening act(s): We went to see the first set of Todd Thibaud's band (incrdible) at Toad in cambridge so we missed the opening act. Checked her website tho; She's very attractive but has kind of boring songs, Probably improves in a live situation... @

I don't usually review things, but I have to say Robert Earl and band were one of the best musical experiences I've had in a long long while. High quality, image based songwriting backed by incredible instrumentalists made for a remarkable show.

Fantastic show. The musiciams were VERY professional. REK was fantastic! If going to the Variety Playhouse be aware that if your seat is not in the balcony you will not be able to remain seating during the show as a huge crowd of people congregates in front of the stage obscuring your view.

Some people do a show because that's their job. Robert Earl Keen seems to genuinely enjoy performing. He sang for almost two hours with very little talking. Great show.

Robert Earl is a song writer, a good one, and one I much enjoy. this is the second time I've seen him at the Variety Playhouse. both times the cranked-up instruments made it impossible to hear or understand the lyrics. This can be OK (but not good or professional) for those of us that know each song, but if you take a friend to give them the gift of Robert Earl's writing, they come away saying, "he just screeched into the microphone and i did not understand a word." until he gets a professional to balance his sound system, buy the music and skip the concert.

Andrea Davidson opened up and she was amazing! Very talented and a great start to the night. REK is always a good show and he is so funny in between songs it is like being at a comedy club! Variety Playhouse is one of my favorite venues.

Yes, REK is a gifted songwriter and a whole lot of fun in concert. BUT, like ZZ Top before him at the Majestic, performing for only 80 minutes is a travesty. Do these guys get tired...they don't think we deserve at least an hour and a half show?
Bruce would have just been getting warmed up, and even senior citizens like the Stones will go all out for two hours!
Any concert by a headliner under 90 minutes is a ripoff.
And btw, he sings "Road Goes on Forever" so fast it sounds like he can't wait to get it out of the way.

A great REK show was made a horrible experience having to sit in a seat made for someone 5' tall. I am 6'4" and there was zero legroom. Five days later my calf is still sore . This is a beautiful venue and it is a shame to ruin it with bad seating!

Robert Earl Keen was at the top of his game! However, the hour-long warmup act was awful. Lady's voice was NOT melodic at all and she made me want to leave. For a Christmas show it seems to me there doesn't need to be a warmup. If you must have one 15 minutes of the band playing the Christmas carols would have sufficed

Robert Earl Keen and his band are very engaging and professional. His part of the show was fun and, having heard him before, everything I expected. If I had it to do over I would arrive at 9:00 (after the opening act was completed).
