Hayes Carll Tickets

I really like Hayes Carll, especially his album Trouble in Mind. This was the first time I've seen him perform and I was excited to see him in a fairly small venue like Paradise. I'd been to Paradise only once before (I live in Brooklyn) to see the Antlers. In both concerts (Antlers and Hayes) my criticism is the same: the vocals aren't miked well enough. I find this extremely annoying, and I don't know if this is always a problem at Paradise, or if I just happen to be 0 for 2. I will add that while Hayes and his band began their set with great energy and charisma, it seemed to fade somewhat as the evening wore on. Good, but not quite as inspired or inspiring as I hope for in live performances. Saving their strength for Williamsburg, Brooklyn the following night? The opener btw, Caitlin Rose, was terrific. I didn't know her music and I have since downloaded her most recent cd. I have to say she was better in person.

Front and center seats at Billy Bobs... amazing view, and we were SO close to the band. I loved every minute.

The cover bands were a million times better! You could barely hear him and when you could it was still difficult to understand, and sounded like he was mummbling. We kept waiting for him to take a break so they would play the juke box...he didn't take a break, so we left. Sorry, but we did not enjoy at all. Just not good~

Hayes' interaction with the audience makes you believe he really wants to be there for you. The band was really tight, and considering their schedule that weekend, they were right on the mark. Billy Bob's was fun and full of music history. You need to remember this is a bar, so the drunk people sitting behind you need to be ignored, but it's ok to be very happy when they get kicked out!

GREAT SHOW, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM AND HIS BAND AGAIN!

We had a fun time. Hayes Carll sang all my favorites.

Venue was incredible. These two artists were meant for small venues. Drink prices were reasonable for nyc.

Enjoyed all three bands: Shovels and Rope, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Hayes Carll. The sound was good and while it was sold out, it never felt too crowded.

Great music, tremendous value, lots of fun! Hope to see them both soon.

As a long time Drive By Trucker fan, I must admit I was rooting for Jason from jump. His new album is wonderful, and his set was as well. Relaxed right out of the gate, he played new material for the first 5 or 6 songs, the band tight as hell, and Jase carving up the leads. He then dipped into songs he wrote while with DBT and they were inspired as well. I certainly will not miss Mr Isbell anytime he"s in the area, highly recommended! I am a HUGE Hates Carll fan, got into him 3 or 4 years ago (when Little Rock was released..) and this was my first chance to see him live. Sadly, Mr Carll was......lost, man. He is one the best songwriters working today, IMO, but at least on Friday, absolutely unispired and frozen. Some guys love the spotlight, and some collect paychecks from their mailboxes. Hayes do yourself a favor Sir, hang out in Texas, write the killer songs you know you can, relax and collect the royalties that will surely continue to find their way to your house Brother. Jerry Reed did it for many years and it doesn't seem to be such a bad scenario for such a gifted writer as yourself!

The opening bands, Shovels and Rope and Jason Isbell with the 400 units were well worth a show all on their own!!! Hayes Carll... will be Hayes Carll. The only ick was the will call girl. Just nasty. But she had nothing to do with the show, did she? Had a memorable great time.

Hayes Carll puts on a fantastic show. I highly recommend seeing him if you get a chance.

smart, musical, funny, poignant and utterly charming
