Incredibly high energy atmosphere from start to finish-- House of Blues was rockin' out. From Kevin Griffin's amazing presence/vocals/guitar to Michael's high octane drumming to Tom's killer bass riffs and all those hardcore Ezralites packed on the floor singing every verse along with the band, it was truly better than EVER. Kevin's a captivating performer... the guy really is a rock star! Wish would could do it over again tonight!!

BTE was good, sounded good, but they did not play one of their biggest songs, This Time of Year. As for the venue, very small, very hot, and only had 4 bars set up. Hard to get through the crowd to the corners to get a drink. Did I mention it was hot? Turn on the AC next time Harrah's, I think you can afford it!

BTE does such a fantastic job of providing a unique show despite playing in NOLA multiple times per year. They always have new musicians backing up or guests who make each show unforgettable in its own way. They are very funny in between songs and have random tangents of jamming out to classic rock songs or performing something totally original. I've seen BTE 7 times live and they have only gotten better each time. Saints head coach Sean Payton made a surprise appearance on stage and later came out playing guitar. My girlfriend was one of many girls invited on stage during one song in which she got to hug the coach. It was a fantastic show and a beautiful venue at Harrah's in downtown NOLA. I recommend seeing BTE any and every time you get the chance. Plus, I was able to snag Kevin Griffin's set list.

Better than Ezra was very good. The band sounded amazing, and interacted with the audience a lot. At one point they filled the stage with women from the audience, even letting many take pictures with band members during and after the song. It was fun to see all the dancing women clearly having the time of their lives. The venue was really crowded, so it was hard to find a spot that you weren't bumped into, even in the back. The staff were really nice- letting you come in and out if the theatre which was nice if you needed a break. We didn't enjoy the opening act as much, it could have been much shorter, but trombone lovers may have gotten more out of it.

Last September, we truly enjoyed the band, Dash Rip Rock, that opened for BET. They were dynamic and enthusiastic and played good "get the party started" music. This year, the opening act was a total flop. I had an old army buddy and his wife with us, and I have to say, I was embarrassed by how lousy the opening band was. BET was good, solid, etc., thankfully.

Better than Ezra was great as always. A fun concert with all of their hits and a few bonuses. In honor on their Louisiana roots they added the LSU fight song, along with "the Saints are coming."

As a special bonus, the Beau Rivage wait staff passed out personal bottles of Champagne for EVERYONE!!!! Now thats going above and beyond!
