Joe Jackson Tickets

Great evening with some amazing music at an excellent venue with great parking very reasonable!

Joe was really enjoying himself on this night. His piano playing and singing were in fine form. The band was tight and the sound was great. .They played a mix of joe's older songs and music from the newest LP "The Duke"

An unforgettable 2 concerts, for which I flew in 18 hours from Moscow. JJ has accompanied my life since I was 15, and most fans in the baudience were close to, or above the half-century. Everything was perfect, the old and the new (old) songs. The only sad thing is, that in another 15 years we all, both JJ and the audience will be close to - or in pension age. A magnificent evening!!!

Joe gives one of the best music concerts around with an impressive group of musicians to support him. This is the 3rd concert I've seen of his in the past 20 years and he only gets better!!!

The Joe Jackson show was great - he was fantastic as always, the new material was awesome. The entire show was fantastic. Except for one thing: the advertisement for the show listed an "opening act". The tickets said the show started at 8pm. We got there at 8:20, and to our surprise, Joe Jackson was already in his 4th song! No opening band. Very misleading, and incredibly dissappointing.

I have attended hundreds of concerts (from Sinatra and Streisand to Hendrix and the Stones) over the years. I attended Joe Jackson's concert not all that familiar with his work. Was i surprised! He and his band were outstanding. Musicianship was superb. He shared the stage with the most amazing and talented group of musicians. He did his hits as well as his new album of Ellington classics. Loved him. Simply amazing. What a treat.

Joe's Duke Ellington renditions were like bright fresh paint on your favorite carousel horse. Remembering Mom & Dad's music through Joe Jackson's take on The Duke's ancient gems brought about a flood of emotions and memories and an overpowering urge to tap my feet and snap my fingers. Joe's emotional connection to "Hometown", first set up by his monologue before he played this plum, brought a lump to my throat as he sang it with all his soul bare for us to see. Joe Jackson's music is not for everyone. That pensive LA crowd, full of "odd ducks" from every era, finally realized during his last 5 songs that all of us are quite unique to be Joe Jackson fans, and with every Joe Jackson melody we hear on the radio from last Saturday night forward, will forever pause to contemplate the astounding depth of this musical chameleon's heart and talent. I count myself as fortunate to have wished Joe a good evening and received his nod of acknowledgment when we walked behind the Orpheum on our way back to our car prior to the show. Joe's music will always be with us... We....Are young but getting old before our time.....

This is one of the best concerts I have ever attended. Joe was in top form, and his singing, playing and arranging was to-notch. His band was incredible, and several friend of mine who also attended agreed with me that this had to be one of the greatest bands we have ever seen.

The sound 15 rows away was perfect. Joe's voice never sounded better.We all thought his new band was tight. It was a great show. Had a great time!

Joe was awesome and surrounding himself with crack musicians, especially Sue, his long-time percussionist. He's become an amazing showman.

Joe Jackson came in and delivered a show that will remain in my best shows forever. 3rd time seeing him and honestly brought a mixture of his new Duke Ellington "Mash-ups" (as he called them) and timeless Joe Jackson hits. Backed by an incredible group of musians, brought it all and left nothing on the table. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

I loved the show. JJ is a very talented musician, there is no one like him. Great band. I just wish he could have played more of the 80's hits like Fool's in Love, One More Time, Look Sharp etc.

Great blend of the new music and older hits. All band members incredibly talented!

I'll be brief. Joe still sounds like he did on Look Sharp! He and his band are true professionals. They are so musically tight, yet manage to have a great time performing. The crowd at the Orpheum was warm and wonderful, and Joe and his band felt it. I am so glad I decided to go to this concert. I think Joe will be treating us to his incredible music talents for many, many years to come. I sure hope so...!

I have seen Joe Jackson several times and in several different venus. He is always good but with the exception perhaps of the very first show (for the Night & Day Tour in '83), this was the best show I've seen him do. The setting was beautiful and intimate, an outdoor stage in a hillside arts colony, not a bad seat to be had. His voice has remained true and clear through the years and was in fine form here. Late in the show he apologized to the crowd, saying he felt he had been playing poorly due to his hands being chilled in the cool evening air but there was no noticable drop off to be heard. For this tour in support of his recent release "The Duke," a collection of interpretations (or rather reinterpretations) of Duke Ellington tunes, he has assembled a group of immensely talented musicians, including his longtime collaborator, the estimable percussionist, Sue Hadjopoulos. The versatility of this group allowed him to play in many different styles adding delightful twists and touches to his own work as well as Ellington's. A night to be remembered.

Sounded great, new songs rocked, solid band. Did a great mix of old and new.

With the title of "bigger band" and Duke Ellington on the table, we were expecting brass, however the line up included a stellar violin player along with the standard keys, guitar, bass and percussion line up. I guess standard is a little unfair as all are excellent musicians. Anyway, it was a inspired mix of Joe tunes from throughout his career along with the very inventive treatment of the Duke Ellington pieces from his latest offering. The Orpheum could have had the AC up a little higher and there is a ridiculous lack of legroom in the seating, but the place is beautiful and the sound was superb - clear but not overwhelming, even up front. It's been a year of some great shows, but start to finish this was the best we have seen.

I have been to three Joe Jackson concerts over the years and though all have been marked by flawless performances and innovative approaches to his own music this concert stands alone as an especially novel display of his musical talents. From the beginning of the show, where he walked on stage and began by himself, to the last note, when his musicians put down their instruments and left the stage one by one leaving Joe as he had started (alone) this concert was magical. Throughout this nearly two hour musical journey we were treated to classic Joe Jackson hits and his beautifully styled renditions of classic Duke Ellington songs (these from his latest album "Duke"). Joe has surrounded himself with a stellar cast of supporting musicians all of whom showed a masterful range of talent and proved themselves worthy accompaniests to the maestro Joe. I will not go over the playlist but will say that at the end of the night I felt like I had heard every great tune in this man's repertoire. The other surprise of the evening was the sense of humility and genuine thanks Joe exuded throughout the night. He was engaging, approachable and warm and that made for a perfect evening!

Rocking band, enthusiastic audience, a genuinely touched joe Jackson, last leg of American tour, astounding show. Went for 2 hours without a break.

Joe Jackson and his "bigger band" put together two and a half hours of glorious sound that showcased his still-perfect voice, keyboard skills, and style. His percussionist, drummer, two guitar players (one who also picked up a tuba, bass, and mandolin) along with another keyboardist were the perfect musical backup. They also sang along with him on a few songs. He did some of his old favorites and also added jazzy renditions of Duke Ellington tunes from the 20's based on his latest album. The ornate stage and baroque Orpheum Theater assured the perfect backdrop and wonderful sound.
