This was a great event. Like Joe Biden was sitting in your living room talking with you. My only complaint is that it only lasted one hour ... I would have wanted more.
For those of us who are unhappy with the current political situation, to see an articulate, compassionate and civil politician who is also a warm and funny human being was heart-lifting. It was too bad that there was so little publicity in advance, so that more people could take advantage of this opportunity: as Biden put it, to be "nostalgic for the future." The interview form was very successful, especially given that the interviewer was the director of the National Civil Rights Museum. She kept her questions to the minimum, and focused mainly on Biden's recent book, "Promise Me, Dad." I went right out and bought it for Father's Day. As to the venue, the Orpheum is always a treat, although our seats were really too far away to get a good view. The valet parking was a good idea, but there was a lot of chaos after the program, and it could be better managed.
Vice President Biden was amazing; but the sound system was horrible and simply inexcusable for such a venue and ticket price!
The most wonderful way to spend an evening out listening to a man who has transcended the hate, the politics and the attacks levied on him and chose to deliver a message of hope, love and family. I was very happy to hear this from a longtime idol of mine, who has bounced back from loss and grief each time stronger, clearer in purpose and given so much of himself to the nation. My wife a lifelong Republican that coming in knew nothing of this man was warmed and taken in by his kind and enlightening views on life. She said if he had run and if runs in the future she would seriously consider voting for him. The night was not political or even a preliminary thrust for candidacy it was Joe being Joe. Love this man and his legacy.
Joe Biden was so incredibly humble, genuine, and forthcoming. His words made me laugh, cry, and cry some more. We are so starved of this type of politician in today’s political realm. He is honest and kind and he truly cares for the people he serves. He spoke about his family in depth and it was truly beautiful to learn about his personal life. I’m grateful I could attend.
Joe was great. Lady interviewing not the best. Her mic not loud enough. He wanted to speak about his son and his book, she kept asking (as did the audience) about politics. Handled things very well. Great man and a nice evening. Peabody is good venue and easy to get to. Get seats on the main floor for better view and best comfort. Upper seats are on a steep incline. All floor seats good view. Soundboard crew was not paying attention on this night. In addition to the lady's mic not loud enough, at the end the music started playing when Joe was still talking (for several minutes). They never did turn it off and you could not hear him at all.
Really enjoyed listening to such a gentleman! Not so impressed with interviewer
We really enjoyed the speaker. We wish it had been longer!
Wonderful experience. I wish it has been longer. I could have listened to him speak longer.
joe biden was an inspiration and a talked about difficult topics
Joe Biden captivated the audience from his first word. The energy inside of the Peabody was electric and palpable. The two hours flew so fast that my wife and I were ready for 2 more! Biden 2020
Biden is a wonderful man who has the ability to bring our country back together as the whole USA.
Very insightful, what an American, what a smart man. Was surprised it was not longer.
As a surprise Father's Day to gift to our dad, my brother and I bought tickets to hear former VP Joe Biden discuss his book. Needless to say, it was a memorable hour. Joe Biden, or as so many of us call him, Uncle Joe, was warm, gracious, humble, kind, and real. Through guided conversation, he's speaks genuinely about his pain of losing his son Beau; he noted that he's seen the opening video only twice. VP Biden gives you a glimpse into his personal world, one full of and driven by family. And this deep rooted and undying love of family has shaped his politics as we know them today. To me, he is the epitome of an American.
Wonderful, inspiring. What an impressive, intelligent and humble man. Event format was well done.
Joe was spectacular, just the calm antidote for these excitable times. He might not run for Pres. but it's great knowing he's thinking of the people.
Was expecting a lot more discussion about his time in office, some of the difficult situations presented (not including his personal life). Felt that there was no substance on his experience as a leader, and spent majority of the time talking about his struggles with his son, which was truly genuine
Exciting & touching evening with Vice-President...enjoyed!
The evening was a class act. Doug Blackmon was the perfect moderator, and the exchanges between Joe Biden and John Lewis were seamless, not as in rehearsed, but those of two old friends sharing memories and philosophies and experience. We were heartened to see the audience filled largely with people much younger than are we. They gave us hope. Hearing Biden and Lewis was a detoxifying experience in light of today's toxic environment.
Hearing Joe Biden pour out his heart to us, not just regarding the bitter loss of his son Beau, but his great hope and enthusiasm for our nation to return to caring sacrificially for one another was inspiring. He laid out his vision that the Trump era is but the last gasp of a dying breed, and that the newer generations will lead our country to reclaim our place to lead the nations of the world to kindness, civility, peace and prosperity.
