John Hiatt Tickets

We had first row seats at the Walker but they were towards the right side, not centered, facing the stage. The view of John Hiatt and the other players was excellent, and the sound quality was good with one huge exception. Slide player Sonny Landreth was positioned at the left of the stage, and from where we sat his vocals and especially his guitar work could hardly be heard. As my wife commented after the show, she primarily watched Sonny’s hands in lieu of actually hearing his playing. The overall concert was good enough that this did not ruin the evening. But we paid our $200 plus at least as much to hear Sonny’s slide work as hear John Hiatt’s vocals— and as a missing piece this was a big one to say the least. Indeed, the one time the mix sounded right was when I went to the lobby to buy a vodka. Which raises my real point: I have been attending amplified concerts for more than fifty years, and at this point in the evolution of live performance the people running a concert hall ought to know more about sound balance and mix than this.

Great show! Local act Matthew Bohannon was cool, loved his new song, maybe titled Gone Too Soon. John Hiatt & the Goners did their thing, no frills. Great songwriter, singer and bandleader. Sonny Landreth on lead guitar is distinctive:)

The songs were great, John was in fine voice, the 4 piece band from cajun country was tight, and Sonny Landreth proved he is the tastiest slide guitarist playing today

The opening act was great, a regional singer songwriter who started the show off with originals and had a lot of energy that fed the audience good vibes. Then came John Hiatt and the Goners, who were amazing. They Played so many of our favorites, and Sonny Landreth is such a great guitar player, it is hard to take your eyes of him. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. The venue is always a great place to see anyone.

The concert was awesome from start to finish. The easy entry with security and e-tickets were smooth and respectful and efficient. The volunteers were amazing and helpful and friendly and also the event parking facility personnel. The cashless bar was also extremely efficient and friendly! A great experience!

I think most of the attendees were serious John Hiatt fans but many of them were really stunned by Sonny Landreth

Seeing John at the Music Hall in Charleston was fantastic. Hubby and I have seen several shows there and commented that it would be cool to see John Hiatt there. A couple of months later, I received a new schedule showing him on the bill and purchased tickets right away. The Music Hall is the perfect size and you can see and hear so well. John played new and old music favorites and the Goners didn’t miss a beat. I am a long time Hiatt fan and this show did not disappoint.

John played everything you’d expect, perfectly and with passion. Sonny Landreth is the best side kick on slide guitar you’d ever want. Fun show.

Great show. Great setlist, really enjoyed hearing alot of Slow Turning live. Charleston Music Hall is a nice smaller venue. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Great show. John & The Goners were amazing. Only complaints are so many people video recording is so distracting and if the people dancing in the center aisle were in front of me, I would not be happy.

I've seen John Hiatt four times in the past year: solo acoustic in an outdoor venue, with the Jerry Douglas Band and twice with The Goners. Ive been a fan since 1987. Great songwriter, unique voice. I saw him a few times in the early 90s, but I believe he has gotten better with age. The solo acoustic performance was stunning. Just him and his guitar. One of the best live performances I have ever seen in any genre. Jerry Douglas blew me away with his dobro. Sonny Landreth and the rest of the Goners bring it. Three different setups, different band members, different arrangements, same great performance every time. If that isnt the mark of a true American treasure i dont know what is.

The opening act was great. John Hiatt’s set was too loud, didn’t even sound good. I couldn’t even hear the lyrics very well. We left rarly

I've seen John Hiatt dozens of times since my first show in 1980. He is always a pro. This show at the Birchmere with the Goners was especially great. They are all masters of their craft and they clearly were having as much fun as the audience. John vocals were just about the best I've heard from him as well. 5 stars for these gents!

John Hiatt gave an INCREDIBLE performance! Such high energy and his voice sounds phenomenal. The Birchmere is a wonderful, intimate venue - you really feel close to the artists. Best show I have been to in a while!

Disappointed though that Croce on Croce is sold out and tickets are selling for $200 each...You got to be kidding!! He ain't Paul McCartney.

Excellent? We will definitely go to see him again in the future. Phenomenal concert and very humble man!

So Hiatt and the Goners were great. They as good as they were 25 years ago but the State Theatre sound system was awful. They must have required the performers to use their sound system rather than the performer amps. You could barely here Hiatt's voice since there were no monitors for the band members to hear. The speakers sucked and the echo effect was gruesome. This is the last time I attend a state theatre concert.

Mr. Hiatt continues to bring the roof down!….Not to mention Sonny Landreth and his guitar collection, wow! The supporting band was a duo named Palamino Motel. Their harmonies remind me of the Everly Brothers….Yes that good.

Fantastic show. Hiatt's voice and guitar playing were strong. The Goners with slidemaster Sonny Landreth were in top form. John played all his hits and appeared to be thoroughly enjoying himself and enjoying playing with Sonny and the Goners. Great crowd! Great Night! Thank you John Hiatt for still bringin' it and bringing your music on the road to the people.

Hiatt writes great lyrics but we couldn't understand them at all. the sound was fuzzy, raspy and indecipherable. We left after 5 songs (Randy's was better with his higher voice.) Disappointing!
