Very cool and laid back show from the king of English blues. A trio performance where the other two Greg and Jay showing a lot of skills, Perhaps base and drum solos not fit in so well. First time a saw him without an guitarist. I will recommend him every day
John Mayall is a legend. This was a small theater. He only had a bass player and a drummer with him. They had minimal equipment. But it was great. He played harmonica, two keyboards and guitar. He played keyboard and harmonica at the same time. Some of the old tunes took me back forty years! Other tunes were brand new from his newest albums. What an amazing show from a guy who is 82. It was the blues at it's best!
I attended the concert last night, 10-12-2016, in Fort Lauderdale at Broward Center for the Performing Arts. It started with John Mayall seated outside the auditorium by himself with CD's for sale and autographs and conversation with the artist. He was just as nice as could be and autographed my friends 12 albums and the new CD and was very kind to pose for photos with his fans. The concert was started on time and he and the band were just GREAT. He played with just drummer and bass. The musicians were incredible, especially the bass man reminded me of Joco Pastorius he was so good. The drummer was outstanding too. The set list was mixed with old and new material and the band played upon each others talent and the interacting was beautiful to behold. You could just tell they were having a good time and the audience loved them. I saw John Mayall in 1970 and have been a fan all my life and he is so talented and true to his art. If you get the chance, go see him. A splendid time was had by all in attendance and on the stage. Bravo John Mayall and the band.
I saw Mayall for the 1st time at the Filmore East in the late 60s. He had gathered a group of amazing musicians and put on an amazing show. I saw him a few times in the intervening years and bought many of his albums. No chicka chicka this time, but this man again gathered some amazing musicians and put on a fantastic show. I can't believe he is an octogenarian. Thanks John for bringing yourself and these fabulous musicians to us. What a show.
I last saw John Mayall in 1967 at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach. He's still great and, like always, surrounds himself with great talent. Whether he's playing old or new materiel, it all rocks you like it should.
Outstanding performance, this man still has what it takes to put on an awesome show. He is so talented, still plays harmonica and keyboard with excellence and his voice is amazing. He base guitar player was the best I have ever seen. See this show if you have a chance, just the best!
We enjoyed the evening so much. My husband has been a fan since he can remember. He first heard Eric Clapton while listening to Mayall and the Bluesbreakers.
John sounds and plays as goos as when I saw him in 1975!
Really great show! Lots of energy and feeling. The whole band was good. Lots of good jam!
fantastic from start to finish!..John Mayall is 82 years old and still sounds and plays great...a fantastic backing band also, each musician was top notch!.....great 2nd row seats also made for a nice show!..
A real special display of the blues from the master of blues, John Mayall. Even at 81.
Had a wonderful time! John was sitting at front door signing CD's before the show so got to talk to him. He can still sing and play at 82 years old with amazing energy. Saw him in 1972. This one was better.
Excellent show. We went because my husband was a fan. We left with me being a great fan. This show was excellent. I love the venue variety Playhouse Atlanra Ga.
The consummate Bluesman, John Mayall reminded us with one of his legendary performances on 3/9/16 at the Variety Playhouse of his lifetime dedication to his craft. This year is also a celebration of John Mayall's 2016 induction into the Blues Hall of Fame. John has just released a new Album/CD titled "Find A way To Care" and as always John is accompanied by a superb group of musicians on this tour and album. Rocky Athas is a very talented guitar player, out of Chicago, along with bassist Greg Rzab and drummer Jay Davenport. The crowd loved the show and John and the band were most gracious to autograph memorabilia. I highly recommend this show, if your are a blues fan like I am don't miss this opportunity to see one of the greats. I have been a John Mayall fan since the 60's, when the band had the legendary, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Jon Hiseman, Mick Taylor, Tony Reeves, Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, Roger Dean, Aynsley Dunbar, Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green to name a few you know and I have seen him on numerous tours, this show as always well worth the price of admission.
What can you say? This is John Mayall. Awesome set list he was able to sprinkle a little bit of 8 decades into the show. The band of course fabulous with Texan Rocky Athas then add Chicago's Greg Rzab and Jay Davenport you have a blues band that matches any, Just a great show would go again.
Even though he's 83, Mayall was in fine form. He commanded his keyboards and guitar as only a veteran blues master can. His band was tight and performed magically for two hours. Excellent show!
John Mayall was great! He is still very energetic and sounds as good as ever! I only wish he would have played Room to Move! Our seats were good and I love the intimate atmosphere of the venue. Also, there was plenty of free parking! When does that ever happen?
Absolutely shockingly FANTASTIC performance by John and his superb band. I consider this concert to be in the top 5 concerts I have ever attended. Mayall is a legend to me and many others here in Florida who never thought they/me would get an opportunity to see this artist live on stage. The quality of music was up there with the Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, etc.... The best of the best!!! I hope to travel to his next venue in Florida to see the show again and again. I LOVE John Mayall, he has been my hero since 1968. I was totally shocked how great his performance was!! FIVE STARS++
Recently I saw Dave Mason at this venue. I left impressed. John Mayall was underwhelming. Everyone ended up really watching the band behind him. I couldn't tell if they needed to turn his mic up or if they were doing him a favor. I felt like I was watching a friend's grandpa at a Bar Mitzvah. Even his keyboard playing seemed off. I spent over $300 and brought 3 other friends. Afterwards, I apologized. I still respect John Mayall for his lifework, but I think his performance days are behind him.
80 Years Young and truly amazing! He sings, he plays harmonica, guitar and keyboard. Not to be missed!
