Featured Review

Galactic put on a highly energetic live show at the Vic Theatre in Chicago. They were accompanied by Cyril Neville of the Meters and Neville Brothers fame on aux percussion and vocals. Cyril has an amazing voice and really works the crowd up. The guys from Galactic also played to the crowd, especially their drummer, Stanton Moore, who frequently jumped up and down on his kit, working the room. Corey Henry of the Rebirth Brass Band accompanied Galactic on Trombone. Think "Jay-Z + trombone". Just an incredibly funky, high-energy show where the entire crowd danced the entire night!

Excellent top talent-loaded band. One of the best drummers and brass team I've seen come out of New Orleans. A super evening and a great Atlanta venue the "Variety Playbouse".

Galactic murdered this show as they always do. Was great to see that Variety Playhouse remains one of the best venues in not just Atlanta, but the entire country. Awesome show, the singer from The Revivalist killed it. Nigel Hall and his band also killed the show. Definitely recommended

I had seen them back in '99 and loved them but had not seen them since. My wife and I were not disappointed. They did covers from my two favourite groups ever ( The Beatles and Led Zepplin) and nailed them both ( I Am The Walrus, When The Levee Breaks). their own stuff was amazing as well. I am both glad and sad that they are not better known. Glad because watching them in a small venue is great but sad that more people aren't turned on tho this incredible energy that is Galactic.

I have been going to see Toots & the Maytals perform for over ten years. They never disappoint. Toots is a machine!
There were a few problems with the sound in the beginning, but everything worked out and a good time was had by all!

What to say? 1st I have seen Galactic several times and they always bring massive energy and positivity. Corey Henry is the illest on trombone! They had a guest singer, David Shaw, and the guy killed it. Very soulful singer but pulls off a wide range: "I am the Walrus", "When the Levee Breaks" What!!!!??? So sick! And the guy had a smile from ear to ear like he fully enjoys being on stage and having fun.

Toots and the Maytals!!! A legend that is a must to see. Charisma, chop, humor, amazing super soul voice! The guy's songs have spanned generations since the early 70's. "Pressure Drop" "What's My Number" (no that is not Sublimes song, they cover it)... the songs are timeless and beautiful live.

Go see either of these bands if you have not yet!

I really enjoyed Nigel Hall and Toots, but Galactic blew me away. I don't think I have ever enjoyed a concert this much. All of the musicians in Galactic were fantastic, with strong improv chops. My friends, who had never heard Galactic before, could not contain their excitement (one friend bought 4 of their albums after the show). Galactic was joined by Revivalists singer/guitarist David Shaw, and the show would not have been the same without him. He brought incredible energy and soul to the music.They kept a warehouse packed primarily with young adults moving to New Orleans funk and blues for hours. I cannot recommend Galactic's live show enough.

They brought the New Orleans funk to NYC. David Shaw crushed it performing with Galactic and did incredible covers like the Beatle's I Am The Walrus. Such a memorable show.

Galactic is just a great bad with a unique funk sound. They represent something that many of us know - funk is where it's at. Those who don't know this are missing some of the best music that has ever been made. And galactic is squarely within this movement. Toots is also great.

toots was better than he's been in years. His voice was strong, and the show was well paced. Galactic, however, were an almost total disappointment. Sloppy grooves, and shaw is a 3rd rate coverband singer, with a truly annoying stage demeanor. His voice was weak, guitar playing was cruddy, and the ensemble playing was untogether. Galactic looked to be suffering from road weariness or boredom or something. A damn shame as they used to command respect and have collaborated with great talent in the past. The funk was GONE...too sad.

Toots was amazing and got the crowd going wild, so by the time Galactic took the stage the place was in a frenzy. Great mix of instrumental songs, vocal ones, and cover tunes.
The band was very tight and the trombone player was giving it his all.
David Shaw was a great fit on the vocals.
House of Blues is a great venue to see a show and the sound is excellent.

This is yet another great band out of New Orleans. You've got R & B, rock, jazz, and more -- all rolled into one great time. This band has fabulous musicians, up and down the line, and they get the place jammin'. Love this band. It was also good to see (I believe I have the name right) Craig Klein from Bonerama (another great New Orleans band) do a guest performance with Galactic. There are some great musicians and music out of that city these days -- Galactic, Anders Osborne, Trombone Shorty, Tab Benoit, any of the Nevilles', Bonerama, the very esteemed Dr. John, and many, many more. If it's NOLA -- it's party time. "Laizzez les bons temps rouler!"
