Jimmy Cliff Tickets

A very nice, solid set had everyone standing and rocking. The zoo's new beverage (beer/wine) concession set-up made for long, slow lines. Not so good.

What a wonderful show. The band sounded great and Jimmy was energetic and awesome. I am so thankful I attended this show!

The Jimmy Cliff concert was an absolutely amazing concert. It had been a very long time since Jimmy had last visited Portland and the welcome he recieved showed it! 3 encores was not enough for the crowd at the Zoo concert and the age group from 3 to 93. The concert started off with a bright young artist Trevor Hill. Having never heard of him I was very impressed. He was really good and the 2 piece backing band never missed a beat. For a 3 piece group I thought I was listening to a 6 piece group. It was a really nice blend of reggae, rock and alternative and enjoyed by all!! Rock and Reggae on Trevor Hill. Jimmy was in stellar shape and performance. He pranced and danced around on stage like a young rastafarian and sang all the great hits and added new ones. In particular was his song about "Afganistan" and how it was becoming another Vietnam! The crowd went wild when he sang "Harder They Come:" and the show was so exciting and just fun. His backing band was extremely young and very talented and they surprised everyone with a nice african drumming towards the end. This was truly a 5 star show and one you should not have missed

The phone survey took away from the introduction and ahhh of the birds that were flying overhead. Maybe doing this before the introduction or inbetween the first act and the second

The relaxed atmosphere was perfect for Jimmy Cliff to pass on some of his good vibes and positive energy. A good time was had by all.

This was the 3rd time I have seen Jimmy Cliff and this was the best concert ever. The mix of music was great, as always, Jimmy put on an incredible show.

Didn't sit down the entire set. Two encores and the crowd still didn't want to leave. What else can I say Jimmy and his crew are a rockin good time and the memories have kept my entire weekend chill. Love you Jimmy Cliff!!!!!

loved seeing and hearing Jimmy Cliff again......brought back memories of growing up in Hawaii!

It was a great show! The warm-up act was v good (Trevor Hall) and set a great tone for the show. Jimmy's band was very tight and had a relaxed feel to them. Jimmy was high energy and sent out a great vibe! He wore these fabulous gold shoes and danced, along with us, for 90+ minutes. Would recommend this concert to everyone. We saw it outside on a warm summer night and it was a fabulous setting for the show.

Wonderful singing and dancing. I really enjoyed that they encouraged the crown to join in and sing. Jimmy Cliff's energy and showmanship is impressive. A lovely evening.

Fun show, came with a free zoo admission! Good times

Almost no one could sit down the whole time. Even us old fogies. If he can still move like that, at his age, we ought to still be able to boogie for a couple of hours!

What a great concert! Jimmy and his 9 piece band were high energy reggae. Jimmy sang great and showed some awesome dance moves as well. "By the Rivers of Babylon" was incredible with fantastic drumming. He shared his love of planet Earth and the people of Earth with the audience. What a great show!

Great positive energy, beautiful setting, perfect weather. I'd do it again. Always want more songs ....!

If you don't know Jimmy, I feel sorry for you! Amazing show!

What can I say... I had an awesome night. As a Jamaican living in Portland, it is a rare treat to actually go to a Jamaican concert. I was never a huge fan of all types of reggae whilst living in Jamaica-but I had my favorites- Jimmy Cliff being one of them. It was actually my first time seeing him live, and what an experience it was. He is the consummate performer, and I loved the fact that he sang all his classics. I will definitely be looking out for Jimmy Cliff concerts again, hopefully he will return to Oregon soon. Oh what nostalgia. After the opening act where I was standing in the back, I headed up to the front by the stage so I could really get in the groove. I was not disappointed. The entire crowd was on their feet, and when it was over, I, we all wanted more.... People clearly love this man and his message.

FUN! The mini bird show was a nice distraction from the sun. The 3 man band opener was REALLY good. We took mom (see pic) & even she liked it. It was her first concert and she'd never heard reggea before. I think it put her at ease to see the young families enjoying the great music of Jimmy Cliff and singing along. For those who are first timers to zoo concerts I recommend arriving by 4pm so you can sit under the trees in the highest tear or to the extreme left so you can catch some shade up front and so you don't just see jiggling derrieres the whole concert!

Jimmy Cliff killed thousands in a bloodless foray at the Portland Zoo concert. I come to sing as much as I can get away with, but Jimmy's unique and wonderful voice outdid all us crooners. Before the show was half over, I'd nearly lost my voice trying to respond in kind to this incredible singer. He continued to encourage each in the singing crowd to give it up, only to effortlessly glide on top of all our best call and response. I went away hoarse, but Jimmy was still as clear as a bell by show's end. Surrounding the music was Jimmy's innate mysticism, a combination of personal revelation and voodoo tradition, that lent a feeling of being in the presence of a connection to something big and bright.

This was a wonderful show on a beautiful day...Jimmy Cliff still putting on a vibrant show...with lots of energy as well as promoting peace and care for our planet. The man has still 'got it' and surprised me how much he's still got it. A lot of that era's artists are still good but their energies are not as high with age...he just made the smiles and good stuff keep coming...many rivers to cross...yes...thank jah...and all the powers that be...happy night!

This venue for the Jimmy Cliff concert couldn't have been better. Love being able to get close up and personal.
