Excellent venue, performances and FUV staff. Enjoyed putting faces to the voices of FUV and the music was outstanding. Absolutely love Beacon theatre what a historical venue and organized well.
The Beacon Theater is a beautiful venue. Staff is accommodating & awesome. We had good seats & hung out with the guy next to us all night. All the acts were great! Such a treat to see Mumford & Sons who were a last minute add-on! So Happy I got to see Mavis Staples too!
This was such an excellent evening of music, from new kids Lo Moon and their electronic soundscapes to pros like Jeff Tweedy, Randy Newman and the master of lyrics and chords, Aimee Mann. Loved every second of it.
Was not a Holiday show at all. Would not attend in the future. Did not provide a festive mood!!!
Aimee Mann was the headliner of four different performers. Due to terrible time mismanagement, Ms. Mann was forced to speed through her 11 numbers in order to finish by 11pm, presumably because WFUV didn't pay for extra time for the Beacon's union workers. The opening act, Lo Moon, was awful and their three songs wasted valuable time. Worse was the 20-minute intermission which Ms. Mann could have put to much better use. Randy Neumann, Jeff Tweedy (a few too many songs) and Aimee Mann were all wonderful. But whoever was running the show did a terrible job of time management. I would not go to a similar event with so many performers again. If you're featuring one headliner, give her the time she deserves.
The concert was great. Too bad I missed the first act because of the problem with security. Two men next to me on line started fighting. When we finally got to our seats a man two rows ahead of me started a fight with an usher who was loud and disruptive during Jeff Tweety. I was really surprised at the issues because in the past the concert was really good
I’ve been a FUV listener for many years. I’ve discovered a lot of new bands on FUV and try to tune in as much as I can. Bands like Wilco get a lot of play on FUV. I came to the show to hear Tweedy and Aimee Mann. Tweedy ran through songs that covered his full catalog back to Uncle Tupelo, along with a brand new song. I’ve seen him a number of times and he’s always great. Aimee Mann can sing! Loved her set and the Christmas tunes. I’ve never been a big Newman guy, but enjoyed his set and his sing alongs. I missed Lo Moon standing outside in the snow.
While the music was good, especially Aimee Mann, the concert lacked any festive or real party feel.
Fantastic show. Randy Newman was fabulous. As was Aimee Mann, Jeff Tweedy and Lo Moon. But Randy stole the show
The Beacon was packed. I came to see The Record Company and they played 3-4 songs off their very first album. Sounded great! Wished they had more time. Corrine Bailey Rae was next and I wasn't familiar with her songs but she has a beautiful voice. Lucinda Willams was so down to earth and beautifully raw. Amos Lee was outstanding. I wasn't familiar with his music but I am now a fan. Concert was 2.5 hours long and most of the crowd stayed until the end. I would go to any one of the artist's shows. Looking forward to next year's show!!
Great show however the show was plagued with audience coming late looking for their spot and going in and out. I was quite supersized by the lack of consideration people showed for others in the audience and the performers.
This was a wonderful show. Every performance was top notch, and all the artists gave it everything for the crowd.
What a wonderful night filled with music, by my favorite artists
all the acts were amazing. everyone played great songs, very professionally and it all fit together.
The show was amazing. I loved all of the artists. Length of the show was a bit short but I understand it can't go too late as it's a fundraiser. We also paid so much for the tickets which I don't mind doing if all that $ goes to fuv and not ticket master. Fuv should acknowledge to the audience that info. And not sure why Lucinda didn't come out for the final encore. That was sad as she was greatly missed.
Ok so I'm in FUV LUV. Amos Lee was great. Rachel Price, of Lake Street Dive, blew the doors off the place with a guest appearance. Note of caution: we sat in the lower balcony on the far right side. The sound was pretty not great. Could not understand much of what was spoken, though music was ok. Important to sit in the Beacon toward the middle. Then sound would be good in any level.
great fast paced show with alot of acts. great venue.
Dawes rocked the house! Brandi Carlise was fantastic! Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings - Great Christmas interpretations! Lucius was a delightful surprise! Great harmonies! Can't wait for next year!
We had a great time ... Brandi Carlile was fantastic -- so emotive and genuine ... Dawes rocked out .. Not big fans of Lucius and while I am a big fan of Sharon Jones and Dap Kings -I would have loved to hear something other than holiday tunes -- I get that they put out a holiday album and this was holiday cheer -- but -- it was too much. We sat in Orch 4, row L, seats 30 and 32 - these seats have no seats in front because they are reserved for wheelchairs and we didn't have a wheelchair in front so it was very roomy. There was a gentleman with a wheelchair who arrived but he did not want to sit there because his friends were in another row and I think he knew his seat was very large and would block our view. The negative is that people arrive late and need help being seated when the lights go down so our view was blocked at the start of the show and after the intermission. IT's rude that people don't arrive on time - especially when they aren't sitting on the aisle and have inconvenience a lot of people.
WFUV's annual fundraiser "Holiday Cheer", never disappoints! Brandi Carlisle and her twin band mates were fabulous...her voice is even better in person: a beautiful, haunting, raspy quality Dawes was also at the top of their game, bringing the audience to their feet. Lucius has a great funky sound, with some of the best harmony by female vocalists you'll ever hear. The topper was the new holiday music by Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, sure to be a new favorite. Sharon has a great set of pipes and an amazing amount of energy. All in all, a great show! Can't wait to see the lineup for 2016.
