It would have been better if the venue was set up with seats, like an auditorium. Standing for 2.5 hours before Donnie took the stage was a little much. Donnie and the Cruisers were fantastic. There were moments of technical difficulties but Donnie handled it professionally.
Great performance. They all "still got it!" As high energy as ever. The only thing that detracted were some sound level and mixing issues, and their sound technicians pushed the sound too hard. They players were sharp, but couldn't overcome distortion from pushing the sound system beyond its capabilities. Other than needing a new sond guy, the musicians themselves are great as ever! It's great to see Donnie and the Cruisers still loving what they're doing.
He is the man that after all these years he still has the golden pipes. I think he has more fun at his shows than the people that come to see him. Could you picture him as the front man of Aerosmith ? A perfict fit.
No one rocks like Donnie Iris rocks!! Now that should be your Super Bowl half time show!!
The show was outstanding. The atmosphere was fantastic and the band sounded great. This is a top shelf act. I would recommend to anyone who needs to rock. Donnie Rules Got to meet Donnie and some of the band after the show. Very nice people
Acoustics are really bad at this location. Donnie and The Cruisers are always top performers. Had trouble w/mikes and sound systems which took away from the event. But that wouldn't stop us from going again at another location.
The concert was great. Donnie & The Cruisers always come through. I can't wait to see them again. Security at the venue was not the best. The crowd was very well-behaved, yet we were asked many times to stop standing up. Standing up is a way to show the band your appreciation. If the crowd is under control, why can't we stand? Donnie realized what was going on and asked a Security person to let us stand up. Once that happened, it was a great evening.
I came to Pittsburgh and saw Donnie Iris - he was fantastic and looked as if he was having a great time performing. The venue was good as were the nearby attractions. I had a fabulous night and would definitely do it all again!
Thank you so much Donnie. You let us stand and dance. That security guard needs to find another job. He was miserable!!!!
Donnie Iris..... What a super entertainer! It had been a while since my wife and I had seen him in concert. Can't wait to see him again. Cruisers were great! As good as any national act!
Donnie Iris rocked Pittsburgh on Saturday night at the Ampitheatre in Station Square. Young and old were in attendance to hear the ex "Jaggerz" star perform once again . It was a stellar performance!
Lovebettie was much better than I expected for an opener and I love the 4 song CD they gave us. The lead singer was very friendly and thanked us for hanging in there for the set. Pop Rocks was OK but not really the venue for young kids. Only the keyboard player looked like she was having fun and should a grade school kid even know what a merch table is? Delaney's were really good, haven't seen Zig perform in a while so very nice unexpected gem of a set. GBE was OK but did not really get me fired up for the next band which I think a support act should do. The drummer makes some funny faces when he plays which bugged the heck out of my drummer daughter! Higbee is a good performer and the band is very versatile. Liked the old PNH wild horses song and the one he wrote for his wife as well. Lots of Charlie Daniels covers which is a good thing to cover if you play the fiddle. On to King Cool. It seemed like halfway through the set before Marty was happy with his equipment. Paul started the set with equipment issues. I almost wished they had stopped and fixed it as I felt bad for Marty trying to play with all the distractions. That being said, a great Donnie show. Loved the new song "Your touch" and Mark's Paul Shaffer impression. Very nutty Mark! Have not seen Kevin drum in ages and haven't seen Donnie sing King Cool in years. Nice to see the set get mixed up a bit. How do you mend it was good live. The encore segue from Rapper to Hush was great!. Ah Leah (that is where thr drummer daughter's name came from) is always my favorite moment and the slowed down version was really nice. I was hoping it would warp into the fast version and it did. Overall, great day of music, good food (a bit expensive) and not as much traffic heading out as I expected. He's King Cool you know, He's alright you know, he's no fool you know. Prove it to the world he's King!! He proved he is King of Pittsburgh and surrounding areas if not the world.
I just came back from what simply was the most satisfying concert I have ever gone too! Donnie Iris and The Cruisers at the "Ribs on The River" bill in Pittsburgh at the Ampitheater on the river was no less than stunning. The show was perfect especially after Donnie laid down on the stage and tapped the security guy on the shoulder and told him to move away and let the folks come up and dance. Donnie motioned for the crowd to come forward and it was a rock and roll dance party for the rest of the night! Donnie who is nearly 67 performs like he is still in his 20's with stamina and a love for the music and the crowd. He did all the crowd favorites and the rib festival made it even better, with award winning rib vendors from all around. I stood right in front of Donnie as he sang and screamed AH LEAH! What more can I say? I am totally content now. Donnie rocks hard! See him wherever you can!
As allways Donnie Iris totally gets it done. Loved the show. Anyone who missed it shame on you.
Always a great show. played over an hour and a half, wish he would have played longer.
The setting was great, Open air setting of pittsburgh in the background. The group (expecly the young group) were great. Donnie was great, have seen him before, everytime he just seems to get better. The soungs brough back many flash back to younger days. Would see him again.
we rode the motorcycle over 3 hours to see him in Johnstown P.A. on June 6 09. He always gives 100% when he performs. He really knows how to get the crowd into the show with his non-stop entertainment. I'm a HUGE fan and try to see him as much as possible when he is playing around the Pittsburgh area.
