Christian McBride Tickets

Loved the venue style - very relaxed and informative. Only wish there could have been an audience Q&A.

Pat and Christian provided a great show. I enjoyed the conversion and banter from the audience when allowed. I would have skipped Christian's attempt at sport trivia and perhaps let the audience ask a few questions. I also would have loved a solo by both artists.

Wonderful performances and dialogue, almost interview style, with fun questions and a little personal history from Pat himself. A nice personal jam session of the audience with some of Pats classics with McBride doing his usual amazing bass playing. This show was a fun treat for Metheny fans and a more personal view and relationship to Pat in a small theater setting. Just McBride and Metheny doing what they do best. More music and an encore would have been a welcome addition, but overall it was a great show for the "One on One" type it was billed as.

It was an amazing event strolling down memory lane with the legendary King of Soul. The special guest star portraying James Brown would have set it off by appearing in character and mimicking James moves and groves a little more helping the younger crowd to feel the funk as the older reminisced as if James did a re-appearance today. However, the James Brown orchestra had the people on their feet moving and grovin to the beat as James would have liked it! He was smiling down and sayin that's the James Brown way!

I checked Ticketmaster, the Hollywood Bowl's website and even Googled "what time does the Hollywood bowl close" and "how late do shows at the Hollywood Bowl go" and couldn't find an answer. Any show I've been to there has always gone until 11. That being said, I purchased a garden box for this event. The event started at 8pm I found out I would be working until 9:15pm that night, but really only wanted to catch the last two acts of many so I wasn't worried. I arrived at 9:45pm, was seated by 9:52pm and the show ended at 10:12pm. And I was told there was even a 20 minute intermission meaning the whole show was less than 2 hours. I spent $500 on a box for 20 minutes of music. If I had known it was ending that early I would have just sold the tickets weeks before the show. If I got even an hours worth I would have been happy but this was ridiculous. I heard others who were there for the whole show say they were disappointed in how short the show was as they were leaving. When I asked an usher they said it had always been scheduled to end at that time but when I asked where I could have found that information they said it should've been on the website. You should really begin posting the duration of shows, especially if they're going to be short like this.

It was a great concert. All of the artists were exceptional, which included Betty LaVette, D'Angelo, Angelique Kidjoe, Aloe Blacc, and Christian McBridge. It was one great blast from the past party!

Amazing night! Amazing music! While dancing in the aisles non-stop, James Brown's music brought back so many wonderful memories. Whoever thought of this idea, great job!!!

I was awe struck in view of re-action of persons in audience being so familiar with songs and actions. A 5-star rating plus.

JB was known for his tight bands and high expectations for his players. This band did not do him justice. Some good players and some nice solos, but they were anything but tight and anything but high energy funk. I stopped counting the number of missed hits. The event did not seem well coordinated and it didn't seem that much attention was given to how the show would flow. Two missed cues by singers? And each singer, when they did show up, came on stage to music that they would not sing. The band then stopped, leaving each singer just standing there. Each singer should have entered to the song they would sing, which would have eliminated the awkward stops. And what was up with the MC guy??? This was the Hollywood Bowl, not a wedding.

I cannot remember when I had a better time at a concert. We danced, and danced! The only issue, the concert was too short. Was not expecting the twenty minute intermission.

show was too short. didnt sing papa dont take no mess.

Unfortunately, it fell very short....There was a slim resemblance of James Brown.. ..the concert did not contain the music or soul of James Brown....The opportunity to pay a 'tribute' was there, however, it never got off the ground....it was disappointing...

While the overall event was good, it could have been WAY better! The most disappointing part was that the evening, called GET ON UP, did not include that famous song.

Tribute to James Brown was a disappointment. The show was way too short. An intermission after only 3 or 4 songs. Ended at 10:10...No encore. It felt like it was thrown together at the last minute.

How can you make JB boring? They did it. I have to write 9 more characters

No video clips of James Brown. Very few of the songs were recognizable as a James Brown venue. One entertainer brought in political views--BIG NO NO!!!!!!!!! The best performer was the first lady who sang first, Bettye LaVette--I would go see her again! This tribute could have been done so much better--very disappointed

Amazing show. The singers were on point and the band was tight ! I was on my feet dancing the whole time.

A fun, energetic evening! The spirit of James Brown was all around. Christian McBride was smokin hot on bass!

Had low expectations as I wasn't very familiar with the artists but wow was I surprised. Really enjoyed it from start to finish. The only thing that could have better is if they had played longer.

The concert was great, just to short. Should have been more songs added to concert.
