I was blown away by this show! Tom Bailey and his all-girl band were a delight for the ears and the eyes. I would see him again in a heartbeat!
Tom sounded amazing, polished and mature. The production and sound at this venue is top notch. Well worth the price but those ticketmaster fees are over the top.
Lovely show...awesome set, staging and performance. Tom is very personable and charismatic. I appreciated how much he engaged with the rather lame audience. Hard to believe someone so talented took such a long hiatus from making music and performing, but so glad that has changed.
Tom Bailey was phenomenal - the selection of some new and many old (Thompson Twins) songs was excellent and it made me go out and buy his latest album. I was really impressed with the back up band as well - they were not the originals of course but put enthusiasm and skill into the music. I always loved the Thompson Twins and my expectations were not high as I know we are talking about 35 +- years ago, but he did the songs justice and the large video screen and lights behind him was well done for a smaller concert - I was not expecting that. The Northern Lights Theater at Potowatami is a great place for smaller concerts like this - an intimate venue where the seats are all good, and are situated around small tables for drinks. The sound was good - no problems and not overly loud or bassy as we sometimes find. One thing to add is that last time we went we had to go through the smoke-filled casino and this was a major turn off for us non-smokers. This time we seem to have found the right way to get there without needing to walk through that and it made a huge difference. Overall a great show and we are really happy we went!
Great venue. Great show. An "older" artist who sounds excellent. Fun backup band. Solid set.
My first time I was at this venue. Easy to find and good for smaller shows. Not a large turn out for one of the greatest new wave bands of the 80's. I had seen Tom last year touring with Howard Jones. This was a show with just Tom while out on tour with Culture Club. Tom didn't seem to care how many people were there. It felt like an intimate evening with Tom. He did every one of his hits plus more. He even did a few songs from his new album. It was general admission but they set up chairs since it was a smaller crowd. Not many people stayed sitting. When Tom came out everyone was on their feet for the rest of the show. Tom hasn't lost anything over the years and is just as good today as he was in the 80's. Tom is a great showman and real artist of his craft.
Great venue, great show, great service!! Will be back soon!
I thought he was going to do all new stuff with a tease or two of the old Thompson Twins stuff, but it was the exact opposite. 15 song set, all Thompson Twins except for 3 or 4 new songs. Baily looks old, probably because he is, but he still knows how to put on a show, and sounds as good as he did 30 years ago. Finishes with Hold Me Now, band quits and crowd and Baily keep singing as he leaves the stage. It was awesome.
Tom was awesome as was the band. Would go again. The Queen is a great venue.
They were great, Never saw them in the 80's. Even if I did i would not have been any better. They could still sing it all 30 years later! Katrina and English Beat were good, just not quite my music...but it was well worth the wait.
