    Johnny Clegg was outstanding!

    by Paimana on 3/24/16Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    Always liked Juluka and Savuka but never had the chance to see them in concert. Thought we'd check out Johnny Clegg when we saw he was coming to town. Show was outstanding and very high energy, with material from both those bands and newer solo material. His son and another talented multi-instrumental musician opened for him and they were also enjoyable though very different. Greatly enjoyed the show and Johnny's enthusiasm, despite only about 2/3 of the seats being full at the Parker House in Fort Lauderdale (our first time there but not our last - great venue). The crowd was very enthusiastic and clearly knew lots of his songs - I knew there were lots of South African yacht crew in SoFLo, but not that many! Highly recommend seeing him if you can. I know we will if he comes back to town again.

    Johnny Clegg amazing

    by Bokke1 on 3/23/16Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    Johnny Clegg was at the forefront of the struggle against Apartheid with his music and integration of South African people and cultures. He is an inspiration to all and his music is in the soul of all who lived through that period. We were rocking in the aisles!

    Johnny Clegg was amazing!!

    by Lizsamofficial on 3/23/16Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    The concert was amazing! I finally got to see Johnny Clegg and his multi talented band perform live. He played all of his well known songs and many of his songs that were more well known to his South African fans. There were many South Africans there and it was a very cultural, spiritual experience. Johnny played the concertina and the mouth bow. I loved every minute of it.

    The BEST concert I have seen in years!!!

    by KWMYSTIC on 3/22/16Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    On his first tour in the US in decades Johhny Clegg wowed the audience!!! What an amazing night, what a tremendous concert! Upbeat, joyful, powerful, and brilliant, with important, meaningful messages, his exceptional musicians grabbed hold of us and never set us down. I came right home and e-mailed everyone I know in other cities to tell them NOT TO MISS THIS EVENT. I am a very big fan, but had never seen Johhny Clegg before in concert. I went with two friends who had seen him a couple of times before in South Africa, and two people who did not even know his music at all (they had just heard "Dela" once, because I sent it to them!) We all came away with the same impression! We were all so happy to have seen this terrific musical event. If you are considering going, please, please, please go! This is one band that is actually sooooo much better in person than their recordings! Go!

    Johnny Clegg was Outstanding!

    by Lipstick07 on 3/22/16Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    Johnny Clegg finally made it to South Florida and he and his talented band gave us a truly wonderful concert. I had waited since the 1980's to see him and he did not disappoint. He was energetic and did a fabulous dance along with interesting stories between songs. He played a varied set and I enjoyed every single song. It was very memorable!

    Still Awesome!

    by RobViera on 3/22/16Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    This was the third time we've seen Johnny Clegg in concert - the first being 1987 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Although he doesn't dance as much (or as energetically - no wonder!) as he did 30 years ago, he still has the moves. The music was great, with plenty of his best songs - Great Heart, Dela, Asimbonanga, Going to Kilani, Take My Heart Away, etc. Halfway through the show almost the entire audience was on its feet, singing along - you cannot help but be caught up in his music. His band is excellent, works well with him. Johnny may be getting along in years, but he continues to rock. Great concert! Bonus was 30 minutes of Jesse Clegg (his son) playing his own music.

    underwhelming

    by garrry on 3/22/16Parker Playhouse - Ft Lauderdale

    This could have been one of the best concerts of my life - the room was packed with mostly ex South Africans who wanted to enjoy all Clegg's old hits and reconnect to South Africa - all Clegg had to do was come on and play hit after hit (and he has plenty) and the place would have rocked ! Instead we had an unnecessary support band, , and the first half of the show were songs we either didn't know, or weren't the big hits - there was also very little interaction with Clegg and it seemed he was just going thru the motions. Eventually, towards the end, Clegg played his big hits and the room went wild.........but i left with a feeling of frustration that i had been denied a great concert - what a pity, as i would have come back year after year to hear his great songs, but that won't happen now.

    Johnny Clegg was at his best!!

    by bmlttd on 3/22/16Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra Beach

    I am a huge fan of Johnny Clegg and I've seen him in concert before but this show was outstanding!!! He played a wonderful mix of the new and the older favorites. It was as if the show was put on just for me :) The crowd was very enthusiastic and he just kept going. The opening band of two young people referred to Johnny Clegg as "old man" which was infuriating until I found out it WAS his old man (father!). Great opening band and the best Johnny Clegg.

    Complete Package

    by Bigloader on 5/15/14Fred Kavli Theatre-Thousand Oaks Civic Arts - Thousand Oaks

    Johnny Clegg's music is rhythmic, hypnotic, and socially relevant. He is part sociologist, teacher, anthropologist, story teller. He is also a song writer and singer. He tells the stories of Africa - the good and the bad. He does it with an infectious style that by the last third of the concert, had the audience on its feet and dancing. This was my first time to this venue and while it was nice, it seemed to be dated. The crowd seemed to follow in the steps of the venue. But it was obvious from the beginning that the crowd knew who Johnny Clegg was and appreciated his music. The last half-hour was spent on our feet, dancing and swaying to the music steeped in the rhythms of Africa. Had a great time. As a side note, the ushering staff, both paid and volunteer, was wonderful. All smiles and so very helpful. The opening act was Clegg's son, who was touring with his dad for the first time. A great way to open the show.

    How could I not have heard of him???

    by Turbonium on 5/13/14Fred Kavli Theatre-Thousand Oaks Civic Arts - Thousand Oaks

    Very exciting sound..spiritual, uplifting, moving. My dear friend introduced me to this band, so it was my first time to have the pleasure of experiencing them. I was thrilled! They were all so energetic and talented.

    I am familiar with JC's music -- but I never realized what a dynamic performer he is. The wife and I had a fantastic time!

    Johnny Clegg Band

    by Anonymous on 5/13/14Fred Kavli Theatre-Thousand Oaks Civic Arts - Thousand Oaks

    AMAZING!! Felt like we were in his living room. He's an extraordinary performer and story teller. We learned so much! His music is beyond and we were so happy to see him again after 20 years in Tokyo! The whole crowd was up on their feet, clapping and dancing! Really fun concert. My 10 year old daughter loved it too!

    Awesome

    by Boditty on 5/13/14Fred Kavli Theatre-Thousand Oaks Civic Arts - Thousand Oaks

    Johnny Clegg is a legend. His band is amazing- his energy is so high level- his intelligence and banter with the audience was uplifting and educational. His opening act was his son- who is great. It was the last show of his current tour and it was remarkable.

    A much-appreciated return of Johnny Clegg

    by Linnie1 on 5/13/14Fred Kavli Theatre-Thousand Oaks Civic Arts - Thousand Oaks

    Wow! Loved it! The crowd loved him. I first saw him at least 25 years ago at San Diego State University. Was great then - is great now. And he has a great message.

    Non-stop music!

    by Debadabbado on 4/9/14Bardavon 1869 Opera House - Poughkeepsie

    Johnny Clegg has surrounded himself with an amazing group of super-talented musicians and the show was non-stop, high energy music. People were dancing in the aisles throughout. The show opened with acoustic songs from Johnny's son, who is also very talented but in a much different style. I highly recommend the show.

    Johnny Clegg - iconic musician and peacemaker

    by Metanoia on 4/9/14Bardavon 1869 Opera House - Poughkeepsie

    Johnny Clegg, the British-born South African master singer, songwriter, musician, evangelist for peace between all peoples put on his typical rocking show on Sunday. His band was impeccable, his performance very heartfelt and human, with anecdotes from his amazing life as an artist bridging racial and cultural divides in South Africa during a very turbulent time, and then carrying that message to everyone who will listen around the world. An indefatigable fighter for human rights and for empathy and common sense, he brings his whole being to bear at every show supported by a terrific band - almost everyone of which has been with him for years. DO NOT MISS HIM if you ever get the chance to catch an appearance. A good friend of Nelson Mandela's, he clearly has lived his life giving artistic and powerful testimony to the same vein of sanity and encompassing humanity that Mandela represented.
