Opening act(s): Otis Taylor was okay, but he was hard to understand. Aptly described as trance blues. His fiddler was ridiculous. @

Now, I love Robert Randolph. He's an amazing musician and performer. I appreciate that he wanted to showcase his sacred steel roots, but don't expect Family Band style stuff here. This music came out of Pentecostal churches with the purpose of getting the congregation "in the Spirit", and so most of the time it's a charismatic jam session, and with all the slide guitars and pedal steels at once, it's a little bit of cacophony sometimes. You will get to see Robert Randolph shred it up sometimes, but not often. Just as the title says, he's really just presenting "the Slide Brothers."

Robert Randolph was fantastic and never overshadowed the slide brothers. 6 amazing musicians were on stage each as mind blowing as the next. The venue was perfect for a show such as this one; small and intimate really gave it a personal feel. I plan to see Robert Randolph every time he comes to Los Angeles.

I came primarily for Otis Taylor as I had never heard of Robert prior. He's a great and enthusiastic performer though. I liked their set and would recommend them again, but come on....38 minutes of OT?

Really enjoyed the entire show. Soulful, straight from the heart music without artifice. Wonderful performances by Calvin Cooke, Aubrey Ghent, Darick Campbell, Chuck Campbell, and of course, Robert Randolph. Otis Taylor's opening set was eclectic and fun.

This is the third time I've seen Robert Randolph (other times with the Family Band), and it was just as amazing as both prior concerts. I took two friends who had no idea of either performer and they are now fans. Otis Taylor did not play my favorite song; however, I believe it was due to time constraints, focusing on new material, and possibly his daughter not being there. A little different from when I previously saw Otis Taylor but still, a great show.

a great show. the audience knew what they were coming to and this gave it a great vibe.

otis taylor and his band were terrific; the lady on the electric violin is amazing

the four slide guitars, with his mentors were fantastic. however, for me there is a tension between the sacred, church music and the secular, funky, blues music that also lies inside RR. would like more of the latter

Favorite moment: The extended encores. Aint nothing wrong with that! @

Setlist: Pretty much the entire new album plus some of the bands standards (Hip Shake, Aint Nothing Wrong With That, Squeeze, Deliver Me, and more), great cover of Black Water that got the crowd singing. Doesn't really matter - 2+ hours straight of the best jump up and down music you'll ever experience. @

Robert Randolph & the Family Band was fabulous! But we knew that would be the case because this band is about as good as it gets and always brings their best.

All the songs on the latest release are even better live than they are on the album. This, along with many of bands standards made for an unforgettable evening.

RR and the FB blew the doors off of the Ogden Saturday night. I've seen them on TV a couple of times, and on you tube, but this was my first experience of the band live. They took the stage following a very strong opening set by The Constellations, who were tight, bouncy, and fun.
Once Robert sat down at his sacred steel I felt the energy in the house go up about 10%. The band soared into their opening cut and it simply did not stop from there. Not for over an hour and a half. The bass player was in the pocket the entire night and the rapport between he and RR was obvious and led to some very crunchy moments in the show. Recognized covers of Thriller and Bowie's "Let's Dance." Both of which set the place on fire.
I love the pedal steel and what it is capable of, whether its country or rock and roll. This man is a master and gets sounds out of it that are amazing. It was like seeing Duane Allman at his hottest. This is how Jimi would have sounded playing pedal steel. Or Stevie Ray.
WOW!!!!
This show made me high.

I have to say I was dissappointed. He didn't come out until almost 10:30, and the first few songs he did all sounded the same, like he was playing the same rif over and over. He has a lovely lady that has a terrific voice that he hides back in the corner. She needs to be out front and sing way more songs. I left half way through the show.

Best New Years Eve show I've seen in years.
The North Mississippi All Stars and Robert Randolph and the Family Band created so much energy, I thought the sold out crowd was going to shake down the house of blues.
