Jerry Butler Tickets

I saw Jerry Butler at Blues Alley on February 11, 2012. I think this is like his 42nd year at Blues Alley for 3-5 days around Valentine day. The place is small, only seats 125 people, and was sold out. Jerry Butler (like all of us) is aging and I think is around 73. At times it was hard to look at him, because I felt for him because it is obvious that he is or has been sick, and may have Parkinson Disease because his hand was shaking during most of the performance. But amazingly he still has his tremendous voice, and once he started singing it was like going back to the old days. The backup singers were good, and he featured a young lady who performed My Funny Valentine solo. An exceptional talent. Jerry Butler voice cracked twice on "For Your Precious Love" which is my all time favoite song. But it was the last song of his performance, and he had been on stage for over an hour. But it was great seeing him up close and personal, and I definitely would go see him again when he's in the area. I pray for his health and hope he will be able to continue to perform. He is truly a legend.

Garland Greene performed poorly. Should not have been allowed to even open for the rest of the acts. Chi lites and Jerry Butler were good peformers.

I guess it was a treat for me to see history. I feel a little bad saying this, but the theater was only about 40%full, there were no attendants in the "VIP" parking area, so anyone could basically park there if you didn't get there on time. The Chi-lite were pretty good, but the sound system reverberated at least 5 times making the event seem a little cheesy. I would think a theater that size had a better sound system. Jerry is a legend and well -loved by all, me included. But the man is getting old! He nearly tripped over backwards over his cords and I was truly concerned for the guy. Poor Jerry was also shaking like a leaf, his microphone-hand quivering for the entire set. However, the man has been blessed with what we all know he has and still possess, am amazing voice. He sounded great, but I had to close my eyes if you know what I mean.

The Ice Man still has it. It was simply wonderful to hear true love songs. It is amazing that I remember the words.

The concert with Jerry Butler, Gene Chandler, Candi Staton and Eddie Holman was great. It was a n unforgettable evening. We have watched Jerry Butler on TV and DVD's for a long time and to see him in person was outstanding. Gene Chandler really put on a show. It is amazing to see what he can still do.

I loved Jerry Butlers performance. His voice seems almost ageless. I didn't like the piano players version of his songs. The piano player seemed to be playing at a jazzy tempo which did not compliment Mr Butler vocals. It's a Doo Wop Concert, keep it original. Everybody understands that music has to be sped up for time management but to totally play a song so off beat is ridiculous. I would 've rather there'd been no music then to hear this piano player totally mess up classic songs the way he did. Other than that, again I enjoyed it. Oh yeah, I would also recommend getting a live announcer. The recorded announement was not on queue and it made the show seem cheap. The same guy that came out from PBS, could have easily been the announcer with a little trailer of each song playing.

Awesome performances! They sound good as ever! My family had a great time. Parking was a beast though the show was wonderful.

First two acts were a waste of time ... Gene Chandler and Jerry Butler are the only ones that need to appear.

The line up of singers was great the night Jerry Butler was there. The sound system was too loud and caused distortion. We could not understand what was being sung or said until the volume was lowered at times. I would not recommend to friend because of sound system!!!!!!!

Gene Chandler was great and put on a wonderful show. The remainder of the entertainers (Jerry Butler, Candy Staton and Eddie Holman were mediocre at best.

The four artists in Friday's Hitmakers of Beach & Soul concert were awesome! Each artist was special and fantastic on their own. They sang as great as the hits 30yrs ago. There's nothing better than going back to your youth and happier days! But nothing touched me more deeply than seeing the one and only "Iceman". It was obvious he did not look well health wise, but it humbles me to see him on stage to sing as great as ever for his fans from all these years! That's a wonderful human being!

One of the best concerts I have ever seen. Miss Griffin was just fabulous. She sang I will always love you better than Whitney Houston. Jerry Butler is still The Ice Man and delivered a masterful performance.

I have always loved the sound of Jerry Butler, and to FINALLY see him in person has made a lasting memory for me! He was 'The Ice Man' personified. My mother used to play his music and to this day, I am for real, an old school soul. His voice has the ability to move a person, it still sounds the same. I was totally mesmerized and throughly enjoyed myself! Terisa Griffin has the pipes and personality. She was awesome! Didn't know anything about Lonnie Givens, but I do now. He was fantastic!

All three acts were great. Jerry Bulter still has it at his age.

Me and my husband enjoyed Jerry Butler's performance. He sang all the songs just as we remembered them and hit his notes perfectely. It was a great evening.

Jerry Butler was wonderful. I waited a long time to see him in concert and was not disappointed. He sung all him greatest hits. The Impressions were also great. Please check them out if they come to your area. You won't to disappointed.

The show was wonderful. The Jewels opened the show with a lot of energy. These three women were great. It was my first time seeing them live. I know their music but seeing them live was fun. The Impressions followed with an excellent show. They took us back and reminded us about Curtis Mayfield. Their performance was excellent and I'd like to see them again. What can I say about "Mr.Smooth", The Iceman Jerry Butler? He was just that. He was excellent, smooth and entertaining. Glad I got to see him live.

All three act was amazing. Brought those good times.

WOW, is all that I can began saying about the Jerry Butler, Impression, and Jewel show. They were all awesome. I especially enjoyed the Impressions, but the the Jewels put on a wonderful performance too. Without a doubt Jerry Butler will always draw me to the show. Thank you for having him on again this year.

For once my husband and I agreeded on the same thing, that this show was better than expected.
