Great show celebrating the life & music of Jerry Riopelle. Hope they do it again!!
This was a very enjoyable evening with a good crowd and an intimate setting. The music selection and stories exceeded expectations. The volume level could have been a little louder. People under the balcony had difficult hearing past the crowd. It did get boosted about half way through the concert but a wee bit more volume would have been perfect. That said, I would go again.
Always a great show-from the 70's until today. Really missed Ethan this time around!
What an amazing performance! Jerry and his band put on a spectacular show! Thank you for playing all our favorites. The venue is terrific--great, comfortable seating and an audio system that delivers.
Jerry was awesome as usual could have not asked for more and then to meet him after the show is even more awesome. Thanks Jerry
had seen couple of the famous "new years eve" shows back in the day, hadn't seen him in quite a while. was pleasantly surprised. voice was in fine shape, band was good , especially guitar player Llori McDonald never seen anyone have so much fun playing. Really enjoyed all the favorite songs and talking stick showroom is my favorite venue. if you were ever a Riopelle fan make it a point to see him if (hope so) he plays again in town
I have to say I go to see Jerry Riopelle as often as I can as I have loved his music since the 70's! This by far was one of the best shows ever as it was up close and personal in this venue. I hope that he comes back to the Talking Stick Resort Showroom again as my friends and I will be there!
I loved him when I was 20 and I love him now that I am 60. Fun to see an old time favorite in his senior years still rocking out. The melody was the same, just slowed down a bit. No he doesn't hit the high notes anymore but it doesn't matter if you are a true fan!
Always wanted to do the NYE shows. Always a conflict. Great show. Nice venue. Voice is holding up better than many of his peers. Good Time.
It was like watching a volcano erupt. Jerry Riopelle started soft and easy and gradually worked until he had the crowd on its feet. A fabulous event! This was also our first time in the Talking Stick showroom. I was very favorably impressed with venue. I'll be watching and waiting for tickets to the next performance of Jerry Riopelle.
After all these years.... his voice is rich, strong, beautiful and inspiring. The slow songs at the beginning were a wonderful treat! His talent and enthusiasm get me every time! The rocking songs.... just make me happy all over.
Jerry Riopelle has performed dozens of amazing concerts in the valley for the past 4 decades. One would think that he would be slowing down but, man, he still has it and that makes us 50 something's feel awfully good! He played all the old stuff the audience wanted to hear but he also added some cool new tunes (love that he's still dream in' up new music). Everyone had a fantastic time. The band was rock in', as well. Can't say enough great things about this valley legend.
Jerry Riopelle and long time guitarist David Klem still sound great after all these years (as does the rest of the band). Truly enjoyed the show and the venue. I think they sounded better than when I heard them a couple of years ago at their last new year's eve concert at the Celebrity Theater.
SIT BACK RELAX AND LET HIM TAKE YOU THROUGH ALL THE MEMORIES OF YEARS GONE BYE.MY WIFE AND I HAVE SEEN JERRY IN MANY PLACES AND THIS VENUE IS AWESOME.IT ISN'T NEW YEARS EVE BUT ITS DAMN CLOSE.
I have seen Jerry Riopelle many times over the past thirty years and this show I would rate up there with any I have seen. The show was great, I did'nt care for the Venue.
Jerry's voice is still strong all these years. A very impressive show with David Plenn and Llory McDonald. I would have paid double to see it.
It was a Fantastic show from start to finish, I'll go every chance i get.
Jerry and the band played many old favorites and a couple of newer songs I love. The lyrics and the music bring back so many intense memories... The concert was wonderful, in every way and I can't wait to see him again. Llory, David Plenn and the fiddle player were amazing as well.
Age hasn't changed Jerry's voice. He still sounded amazing. Also enjoyed his grandsons fiddling!
Jerry was his usual awesome self and the band is as good as ever. The recent (past couple of years) addition of the female singer and her bro fiddle player help keep the band fresh!!
