    Best GP & R show ever!

    by Showtheguitar on 6/22/15Birchmere - Alexandria

    I didn't have my hopes up too high for this show when Graham told me he wouldn't be using "Pinkie",his pink Guilford electric guitar. He was totally acoustic so I expected a mellow night...no music to rock out. Wrong! Graham had a brilliant set list with a taste from many albums. By the third encore that brought down the house with "Soul Shoes" it was a night to remember. What a great band...too bad they're not doing more shows on this tour. These guys were so ahead of the times...I love the fact they stuck to their guns & did it their way. Then the rest followed. I can't wait for the next tour...no way I'd miss them.

    Not a fun crowd to be with. The band was over the hill. Sad nostalgia act.

    This is the third time I have seen Graham Parker since 2012 when he reunited with the Rumour and each show gets better. All 3 shows have been fabulous and all members of the band seem to really to having a good time on stage. This show concentrates a lot on Mystery Glue, their new album and Howlin' Wind, their very 1st album. They played 5 selections from each which accounted for about half the songs. Accordingly, they opened with White Honey and closed the regular set with Don't Ask Me Questions. Their were great songs in between including Get Started, Start a Fire, the only non-Rumour song played. The last 2 encore songs were Back to School Days and Soul Shoes which ended a wonderful concert experience. Don't miss them if they come to your area!! You won't be disappointed.

    Graham Parker & the Rumor

    by BeeeeeEssssss on 6/21/15The Paramount - Huntington

    Great Performance! But....the sound engineer(s?) at the Paramount need to do their homework: everything was bleeding together.

    Graham Parker and the rumor were absolutely fabulous. They did their older songs and were very tight. Really enjoyed the show! Except for the folding chairs it was 2 hours of fun!

    Graham Parker & The Rumour made my eardrums bleed

    by DK58 on 6/14/15The Paramount - Huntington

    Graham Parker and the Rumour were in rare form but the sound levels were at an uncomfortably high level - it essentially ruined the show. The AC/DC level distortion and teeth-rattling volume belittled the fine musicianship of Graham, Brinsley & Co. - and it was a relief when it was over. Extremely disappointing. I am not some old fuddy-duddy but a real fan, but the sound was a disaster.

    My favorite songs were missing.

    by wallo on 4/23/13Birchmere - Alexandria

    He and his band were in great form, music very tight. Played with great enthusiasm. But where were my favorite songs? Heat Treatment, That's What They All Say, Backdoor Love, Hotel Chambermaid, where were they? Others asked the same question.

    GP and the Rumour - awesome!

    by wdstrick on 4/22/13The Stone Pony - Asbury Park

    In my opinion, the most under-appreciated rock band of all time. There was a reason that Springsteen once said that Graham Parker and the Rumour was the only band he would pay to see. GP has written great songs as a solo artist for years, but when he is fronting the Rumour there is magic! Rock, R&B, reggae, the band can do it all and has no weak link -- guitarists Brinsley Schwartz and Martin Belmont are phenomenal and complement instead of playing over each other, Bob Andrews is superb on the keyboards, and Andrew Bodnar and Steve Goulding form one of the truly great rock and roll rhythm sections. The material from the new album is strong and the only complaint is that they have too many great songs to get them all in. For instance, they only played one song from "The Up Escalator", one of my favorite albums. For the GP newcomers, listen to Fool's Gold, Howling Wind, Discovering Japan, Local Girls, Soul Shoes, Watch the Moon Come Down, Long Emotional Ride. And don't stop there!
