Alison Krauss and Union Station Tickets

Allison Kraus is simply wonderful, or at least the parts we could hear.

Alison Krauss & Union Station comprises the finest group of individual musicians playing collectively since I saw the original "Return to Forever." Every turn at a featured solo called for a standing ovation, but the desire to hear what followed was stronger. Their vocal harmonies were so tight, and the audio mix was incredible for a glorified banquet hall. The upright bass was unusually clear and distinct. Jerry Douglas performed a dobro solo of Paul Simon's "American Tune" and an un-named Chick Corea song ("Return to Forever" irony?) that he was "practicing" for an Idaho fiddlers competition (he's hoping the Idaho folks don't notice he's not playing a fiddle). It was outstanding, and I swear there were three instruments playing. The venue on the other hand left much to be desired. The Inn of the Mountain Gods is a really nice resort, set on the shore of Mescalero Lake. I wish they had designed an auditorium specifically for stage performances. We were all at the same level which made it very hard to see the stage.

This concert was great! Easy listening. Fantastic musicians and voices. I did wish that they had said something about the fire we had endured all week. It was a welcome break.

The concert was outstanding but the encore, unplugged and together at one mic, 30 minutes of great harmony. The whole show could have been like that.

This was our first time to this particular venue. The room was huge but the stage was hard to see because the seating was all flat. The guy in front of me had a big head so I was always bending left or right to be able to see. If the seating is going to be set up like that the stage should be higher. Possibly the seats could be staggered. There were two monitors but the videographer was not very talented in getting a lot of good shots of who was singing when they were actually singing and they took way too many full stage shots and not enough singer shots. We paid a lot of money to not see very well. The sound was mediocre, and it didn't help that Allison Krauss is very soft spoken. A lot of what the band members were saying to each other was not picked up. This should have been accounted for during sound rehearsal. I would say that you have a nice venue but it is not set up for a high priced concert and I am not sure I will return if that's how all the concerts are set up.

Enjoyed Great entertainers. personality the works!

We loved the show - such talented musicians - very entertaining evening - definitely worth the ticket price!!

My husband and I left 45 minutes into the show. We were seated on the very last row and I was directly behind a gentlemen wearing a cowboy hat (we ended up standing behind our seats.....next to a woman who stood behind hers as well). Not being able to see was bad enough and even more so because the big screens were blurry and the cameras never once zoomed in on Allison 's face! When she did interact with the audience, we couldn't hear her! What a waste of $130.00! First and most likely last time to attend a concert at the Inn.

Alison Krauss has the purest voice i have ever heard. it was such a delight to hear a voice that melded with her bands voices so well. Great to know that not every performer these days needs to lip sync or be modified. This has to be on my list of best concerts of my lifetime. Very laid back performance. I very much enjoyed listening to "In Constant Sorrow", I closed my eyes and pretended it was George Clooney!!

My husband wanted to see this concert and I agreed to go with him. Boy! was I ever glad I did. Krauss was brilliant... what a pure sweet voice. Her bantering with other band members was comical and showed a genuine close relationship with the group. Union Station is made up of multi-talented musicians. The vocals and harmony were spot on and the instruments were played with extraordinary precision. I do believe that Jerry Douglas is the best Dobro players in the world. His playing, along with Dan Tyminski's vocals are truly the trademark sound of Union Station. Alison playing with this band is an unbeatable combination.

Alison Krauss has the most amazing, beautiful voice and I LOVE her music, but this conert was very disappointing. It looked like she rolled out of a tent, threw on a sweatshirt and came out and played. The songs she sang were a bit sleepy, and two in a row were sleepers. I saw her at Sports Arena 6 years ago and it was AWESOME!! I knew way less of her songs back then too. Now I know way more and she hardly sang any of the good songs. I wish they wouldn't have Jerry Douglas play for so long every time. He's awesome, but I come to see her primarily. I would probably see her again in concert, hoping that this was just a fluke, but if it was like this concert I probably wouldn't go again. :( She's still one of my favorite singers.

Alison has the best female voice alive today! Pair that with her Fiddle playing and the Union Station and you can't get any better than that!!!

What a beautiful voice Alison Krauss has! What a great band! At Humphreys, Alison Krauss seemed tired for this concert. She seemed to have much more energy at the Santa Barbara County Bowl last year. Perhaps she wasn't as into it because this time she just came in after a gig in Yosemite and didn't have time to recover? Perhaps because this concert was only one of many to come - and she was conserving energy? She didn't seem to play for the love of music. Many fans were disappointed because the band could have played longer, but didn't. Beautiful music, beautiful voice, but less than stellar performance that night.

She walked out in a bulky jacket wearing baggy pants... We thought it was a warm up band. There was no intro, they just started playing. About 30 minutes into the show, Alison decided to finally say a word or two to the audience. That was it... A word or two. The conversation on/from the stage was more like a little conversation that was just between the performers. After getting over the shock of the audience not being engaged much at all...we enjoyed the wonderful music. Great music, but not so much stage presence. I had never seen Alison Krause perform live before, and I suppose that's just how she does it.

Best concert I've seen AKUS do. Excellent in every way.

The voice of an angel!, great harmonies, and oh my, JERRY DOUGLAS! The weather was great, the venue was intimate and the music was as good as it can get.

We traveled long distance our first time ( From Huntington Beach) to see the concert. Very satisfied with the overall performance. We wish if Alison would sing more songs.

Very intimate and personable performance . . . what an amazing voice Alison has. A very talented group for sure. Loved everything but the man singing that was sitting right behind me.

Best I have seen and heard in 20+ years! Next time Atlanta plesae

Alison Krauss is an angel and her fellow musicians are extremely talented and they delivered. The venue was intimate and a perfect setting.
