Great Holiday sounds. A mix of rockabilly, big band and blues. Powerful sound, Brian plays because he loves the music and it comes through loud and clear.

My friends & I left during the 3rd number - It was way, way, way too loud. It felt like I was having a heart attack and my bones were vibrating. How sad for a big band like that to have it so loud, when it's not necessary. Why not hear the instruments as they are played. I was in the music biz for 40 yrs. and never heard such inhuman loudness. $270 down the drain. What a punishment, instead of a nice holiday show.

We thought that there would be more Christmas type tunes for a Christmas Special.
The beat of the band was very similar in too many tunes. Brian was personable and sang well.

I got into Setzer around the time Vavoom was released and have since picked up almost everything in his discography. Up until this show, however, I've avoided the Xmas material ignorantly assuming it wouldn't do much for me. Happy to say I was wrong on that assumption. I shouldn't have doubted Brian's talent with creative arrangements and breathing new life into age old standards (especially after Wolfgang's Big Night Out). I was initially thrilled that this didn't turn out to be JUST a holiday show (he does a wide selection from the Cats right up to recent solo albums) but a couple of the Xmas tunes actually turned into standouts for my wife and I. This is probably old news to those who have seen him live before, this being my first time I was pleasently surprised. His orchestra is of course packed full of amazing players and Brian himself played and sounded like a million bucks. I'm not always the most easy to please concert goer, but this had to be one of the better shows I've seen over the past handful of years. I hope to see the Cats sometime in my life if they do another reunion, but would happily see Setzer again solo in any context.

Familiar holiday standards are reworked and liberally sprinkled with the BSO magic powder, elevating tired old standards into simply outstanding new and fresh arrangements. They're obviously having fun on stage and that translates to the audience in no time flat. Everybody in the room was shaking, rattling and rolling to an unapologetically fun show lead by a guitar master. I'd see these guys again if they came to town this season. But like Santa, it looks like I have to wait until next year!

Great performance again. Saw the show 5 years ago and Brian and the Band rocked through all of our favorites and had a great set of rockabilly with a trio. Brian can still pick it with the best of them. The band was very tight and sounded great. I wish I could have taken my kids, but the Venue is an over 21 theater. I enjoyed hearing Brian respond to someone yelling from the audience about him drinking bottled water on stage. Brian told the person, "Hey this is a Christmas show! I'm drinking eggnog."

The show was just OK. There were no dancers which is really needed to enjoy his stylef of music and his stage presence was minimal.
Started to late with a 8:00 start and then him not getting on stage until 9:15. Would of expected a casino show to start right at 8.

Being a fan of Brian Setzer and Stray Cats as well as big band music, I really wanted to see this show. My wife, was a bit iffy. It was great and my wife loved it. She even liked Totsy. Go and see them any time of year.
