Raised on the Bakersfield honky tonk of Buck Owens and traditional country like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, Dwight Yoakam has created more than a dozen studio albums of his own self-described hillbilly music over nearly four decades. On his 2012 collection, “3 Pears,” the Kentucky-born performer reached out to Kid Rock and Ashley Monroe of Pistol Annies for co-writing help on a couple songs, while Beck co-produced the successful set.
Ticket buyers know a slew of Yoakam singles when they head to his concerts — from the chart-topping “Guitars Cadillacs” from the similarly-titled 1986 debut and “I Sang Dixie” off of 1988’s “Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room” to 1993’s “A Thousand Miles from Nowhere.” And when he’s not on the tour bus canvassing the nation, the singer/songwriter may be on a movie set. His acting credits include critically acclaimed roles as an abusive boyfriend in “Sling Blade” and a psychopath killer in “Panic Room.”
I’m not typically a fan of country, but my fiancé is. I enjoyed the show very much. For an outdoor concert, the sound was very clear, the seating comfortable and the there wasn’t a bad seat in the house. Dwight, along with his band have such great talent. Even if one is not a big fan of country, you can’t deny these individuals are very talented! Sincerely, Frank
For Wheeling Island this was a great venue and artist. Don't know what would have happened IF the weather wasn't perfect, but it was so no big deal.
I have seen Dwight Yoakum 7 times now and love him now just as much as the first time. He always sounds the same and he sings all his biggest hits. I always wish he would sing longer. There's always a great crowd that knows all of his songs. The venue was great, although parking was an issue (nothing new there). Can't wait to see him again.
Dwight was great!!! Did old stuff of his own and some oldies from other country stars...the show was definately a 5 star performance.. Thanks for bringing him to Wheeling Island
Beautiful night to see Dwight in concert at Wheeling Stadium. We had 8th row seats. Dwight and band were tight......every song, every note was right on. The crowd was on it 's feet most of the evening. Dwight made everyone feel right at home. What a memorable night!
The entire performance was amazing! Dwight Yokum definitely exceeded my expectations!! If the stadium allowed drinks inside, the show probably would have been more rowdy and country, but even without alcohol, Dwight was very memorable!!!!
Dwight was sensational as always, but the sound system in Wheeling stadium was not great.
When doing a Buck Owens tune, Dwight is as close to Hank Senior as you will ever hear. The band was tight, sound was mixed very well for an outdoor show. Closed the set with a raucous Fast as You. Fine perfomance.
The concert was great!! He played for 2 1/2 hours non stop. My boyfriend and I loved every minute of it!
I have been to many Dwight Yoakam concerts and this was by far his best one. Enjoyed it very much.
Dwight Yoakam continues to entertain in a style unlike all the "bubble gum country stars" that are continuously played on country stations on the radio. A bit of Buck, Willie, Chet Atkins, George Jones, Jerry Lee, Merle and Waylon. A true artist, and that's just the music, let's not even mention the moves, the look, the boots and the jeans.... The venue, not so great! Who ever heard of sitting down at a Yoakam event? For $125.00 for our seats (each) I would think the rules would have allowed for a bit of honky tonk dancing right up at the stage. The Casino Security was much too strict, I'll be waiting to see Dwight at the Gorge again, or outside at the Skagit, but never again will I give my money to the Snoqualmie Casino.
great concert as usual. he played lots of stuff of the dwight sings buck album. great band great performance
No other artist in music today performs with Dwights mature confidence. He's always stepped over and across the lines of definition to do it his way....The latest band in the post Pete Andersen era is a stripped down rockabilly crew who rock. Dwight's voice is better than ever....Interesting play list found Dwight playing old, new and variety of covers...I prefer paying more and attending small venues, as this was.... This Hollywood cowboy is cowboy none the less....Damn cool one at that...Loved it
He loved the crowd and we loved him. Still wonderful after all these years. The backup band was also amazing. Great venue. So easy to get to!
The Snoqualmie Casino should not be hosting events like this. The "Ballroom" is nothing more than a large hotel conference room. Acoustics were terrible. I had to leave early because it was painful.
It was nice walking through the casino to the ballroom without inhaling cigarette and cigar smoke and also sitting through a terrific performance where you could see the entertainer and listen to him clearly with a great sound system. Great Job Dwight Great job Snoqualmie Casino and ;Ballroom. We will be back again.
Dwight Yoakam sang all his hit songs as fresh as when he first sang them. I don't think the audience sat down once during his performance. A concert well worth it.
Dwight was great. It was a little disappointing that people did not remain in the seats they paid for, but stood in front of the rest of us. I think Snoqualmie Casino needs to keep an eye on that. We did not appreciate people standing in front of me when the seat they paid for was behind us.
I have always been a fan of the Bakersfield sound and Dwight is at the top of all of them. I love it that he knows his back side makes the girls scream and so he does his very best to show it off. Glad to see he was in his Levi's this time. The last time I saw him he was wearing a pair of slacks and not that he didn't look as good as he sounded he is just more fun to watch in jeans. Dwight is an all around excellent entertainer and he is in my list of top 5 male singers of all time and always will be.
We thought the concert was good, good songs. We did not particilarly care for the seating. One level seating makes it difficult to see the stage when taller folks with cowboy hats are in front of you. Also, the sound was somewhat distorted from being to loud.
