Doc Watson Tickets

very enjoyable evening. All three musicians excellent, but Doc was fantastic

The place was PACKED with a really diverse audience. Everyone was thrilled when Doc Watson took the stage. Honestly, at 88, he could have just strummed some notes and shared a few stories and I'd still have felt it was a privilege to be there. But Doc rocked! Man, the guy can play that guitar, and his voice is still unique and beautiful. He, David Holt and their fellow musicians treated us to a number of Doc's "greatest hits" and mixed in some other good pieces. And the stories were fun to hear.

I saw Doc in 1988 at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, however I wasn't a blue grass fan. 23 years later I'm a huge Doc Watson fan, and he's still amazing after all this time. Glad I saw him again in a great venue like the Keswick.

Although I've listened to Doc many times, this was my first opportunity to see him live. But he is older than I thought (88 now) and the years are starting to show. Still, a rare chance to see and hear a living legend. David Holt was a pleasant surprise, but the real treat of the night was the opening set by Tony Trischka. He is the undisputed king of contemporary banjo (forget about Bela Fleck--he's primarily for jam band fans and genre-benders). The Keswick Theater is a fantastic venue. Easy parking, safe neighborhood, great crowd. Biggest disappointment was that it wasn't sold out. It's a great place for "cafe bands" and indie rock acts, but I would sit a little closer (front half) for an acoustic act like Watson.

At 88 years old, Doc Watson doesn't sing or play guitar as well as he did in his prime, but he still does a great job of it.. More importantly, his age seemed to increase the poignancy of the concert. It felt honest and intimate. He brought me, and half the audience, to tears with his rendition of "The 12th of Never" Amazing. I am so grateful to have seen this concert.

I enjoyed the concert very much, even though Doc was not quite himself. He is still the best I ever heard. The sound in the theater was excellent. I thought that the combination of Dave Holt and the baseman was excellent. I just wish I could have gotten a seat closer, but there really wasn't a bad seat in the place.

Doc Watson is a living legend! Thank you for a lifetime of musical joy! Keep it going!

If you missed this chance to see a National Treasure, he is 88 years old he speaks and plays from the heart, it was my 2nd chance to photograph Doc, it was a great event

This event will remain in my mind's eye for a long, long time. It's not every day one can see an icon of folk music who is still around and playing well. Doc Watson was still good, and entertained us with stories in his warm, rambling and deep voice. He's 88 years old now and won't be around forever, so I'm very glad I got to see him with some very good back-up folks: David Holt, who plays with him a lot nowadays, his grandson (!), and a bass player.

The venue was wonderful. Easy access, restaurant accross the street was perfect and back ground music reflects the performance for the day. Very clever. Have seen Doc Watson a couple of times before and he is still great even though he is 88 years old.
