Brandi Carlile Tickets

Brandi is an amazing performer--true heart and soul bound up with huge rock chops. Loved her, loved the people at the concert, loved her guests. But the venue! No lights, impossibly long lines, ridiculous food prices and rules about what you can bring in. I fell on the way out one night because the crowd is huge, herded through a narrow space, and the grounds so unmaintained that a giant grass clump felled me. Another person fell twice and twisted her ankle. No traffic help to get shuttles in and out again, or make sure roads don't get shut down. I would never go to the Gorge again, unless Joni Mitchell decided to play it again. And I would go anywhere for Joni.

Brandi is to be praised for putting this together. She was so gracious and supportive of Joni, who is deserving of all the praise possible for her accomplishments. Very cool to have other musicians showing their appreciation for a true legend. I am so glad I was there for this. Also the Gorge is an amazing venue - so beautiful as a backdrop. Can't say enough good things about this whole thing!

Absolutely loved Brandi and the entire Joni Jam. The issues were with traffic and lawn space. It was absolutely horrible. We sat in traffic for two hours starting only 5 miles from the parking. There was no traffic management. We planned to be there more than an hour early but missed the beginning of the show. Also - the show seemed oversold, by the time we got there the lawn was full and we had such small spots on the lawn, we were so cramped. LiveNation/Ticket Master needs to do a better job of managing their shows.

Joni Mitchell is an icon musically and did not disappoint in any sense. The intimacy of the set, the range of her songs played, the quality of sound! All were amazing. And what a setting at the Gorge. I loved the contribution of all the other artists on stage and how close they all are, with interwoven tales thoughout the evening. I knew this would be a special evening but it was way above and beyond any expectations I had. This night will stay with me forever

Brandi is a phenomenal example of true love and acceptance! Her mission to bring forward exceptional women and share the stage and spotlight are wholly underrated! With Brandi “love wins”!!!

The concert was a once in a lifetime experience: Joni Mitchell hosted by the superb Brandi Carlile and accompanied by Annie Lennox, Sarah McLachlan, Wendy and Lisa, Celisse, and plenty of other luminaries. The venue was gorgeous—the sun setting over the Gorge and the stage lights gradually intensifying. Turkey vultures flying overhead. A fantastic sound system and seating that enables everyone to see (unless you have annoying standers in front of you). I will never forget the experience. The Gorge Amphitheatre is a well-oiled machine. There are plenty of (expensive) food options and (expensive) drinks available. The portable toilets are well maintained and plentiful. It's extremely impressive. The staff was friendly and helpful. Having said all this, there are a few key problems with the venue. One is there is a complete lack of clarity about where to camp. The specific areas are not marked and once a very friendly guide flags you on, you're pretty much on your own to figure out how the system works. Now that I know, I wouldn't have a problem going back, but it's very confusing on the first visit. Signage would help a lot. This Is RV Camping, This Is Gold RV Camping, This Is Tent Camping, etc. Then, once you've set up your campsite, you have to figure out how to get into the venue. Again, signs would be very helpful: Go This Way to Amphitheatre. Line Starts Here. A bigger problem are the lines to enter the venue. The only signs are at the head of the lines but there are hundreds of people in the lines and there's no clear way to know when you're at the back which line you should get in and how they differ. Again, more signage would be very helpful. And the biggest problem of all has to do with the ADA entrance. People who are disabled, many of them unable to walk and using crutches or walkers, should NOT have to wait in a line as long as everyone else. It really defeats the point of an ADA line. Once you've been in the ADA line for a while you realize that you were supposed to get in a different long line first to show your ADA credentials and then you have to get back in the first long line again. This is completely ridiculous and I was witness to people with all sorts of physical challenges getting exhausted, being in pain, being confused, and having to change lines when they are the people who shouldn't even have to be standing in a line in the first place! Also, the ADA line is the farthest line from the ADA RV camping area. How does that make any sense at all? So ADA line seekers have to break through all the other lines of people to get to their line. These problems would easily be remedied with some reorganization and clarity. And this crew is more than up to the task; they've already shown they can manage vast numbers of people. If they can fix these problems, I'd nominate them to support FEMA in a disaster.

The evening was magical through and through. That said, getting into the event was a huge cluster-f and could have been handled way more efficiently in every way. I came into the event very stressed out and I left on a cloud.

The show was incredible. From scenery to lineup and everything in between - impeccable. The parking situation is another story. It took us TWO hours to get out of the lot. It was complete mayhem. I would not return to The Gorge because of this. Even STAR parking had this issue. Let’s try to figure out a way to make this experience better, gang. I know you can.

Seeing Brandi at the Gorge should be on any music lover’s bucket list! The venue is truly special and has amazing, immersive sound. Brandi Carlile absolutely never disappoints. Amazing evening!!

I have been to hundreds of concerts, and the Joni Jam was the greatest concert I have ever been to, EVER. What a magical night. Seeing Joni Mitchell live... I have no words! I was really happy to see Brandi Carlile for the first time as well - she and her wife played together, and it was very sweet. Brandi, if you're reading this - THANK YOU for all you have done in making this happen. I can't imagine the overwhelm and joy you must be feeling.

How can I get Joni Jam merch? All that was available were XXXXXXXXXXXXLs. I really want to relive the experience. It was life defining, having grown up in the 70s to Joni

I mean, it was Joni Mitchell, do I even need to explain why this was the best concert of the century?

What a once in a lifetime experience. I felt as though I was witnessing history being made.

Brandi’s reverence for Joni was infectious and a beautiful thing to witness. The positive energy coming from the stage was palpable throughout and reflected back by 26K cell phones in a magical moment surreal evening. As always, I leave a Brandi Carlile event inspired, and committed to kindness.

Venue logistics kept from being a 5 star rating. Paths were poorly lit, large rocks on way to camp ground were a tripping hazard, I saw two people injured near same rock on different nights. Also, there were no public bathrooms house right, only ADA, which was a logistical challenge for those in sections seated on the north half of the venue - who have to fight the crown to move across the lower level or go up top. They can do better.

Brandi and company rocked the night away Friday night, opened for Joni Mitchell Saturday and then partook in the Joni Jam, and then somehow put on a dynamic show with the Highwomen on Sunday!! Unreal!!! Brandi was spot on, the band intense and the surprises blew us away! She clearly has a way to connect with her fans so we feel part of the show. She lives in the present moment and shows her passion in her vocals and musicianship. It's a weekend I'll never forget

Went to Brandi Friday and Joni Jam Saturday - and was blown away by the quality of the performance and the surprise celebrities! I came with 12 other women and some of our daughters came this time as we introduced “Gen 2” of our group to Brandi at the Gorge. Being Pride month and Joni’s return to the stage and just all of it was overwhelmingly beautiful!

Best music weekend ever!!! Brandi is not only a super talented singer and musician but is amazing at bringing people together!

Allison Russell and Marcus Mumford opened. He was great and funny with just a guitar by himself. Brandi and her band are always amazing but this was next level. Brandy Clark showed up to sing their duet. Sarah MacLachlan made a cameo. Annie Lennox sang too. They played old and new songs. No one matches the energy and joy Brandi exudes. She and her amazing band put a lot of good into the world. Crowd was fantastic too.

Wow, nothing to say about this weekend, Brandi and Joni are both greats and I feel privileged to have been at the concerts this weekend. The Gorge as a venue is stunning but there were a lot of logistical things I would change, definitely don't recommend paying for Star parking, the only value was that it was slightly closer to the venue (like barely) but it wasn't faster to get in nor was it faster to get out of the venue (in fact it took over an over both ways). Also very little vegetarian food, which was fine for me but not everyone in my group.
