A Very Short Set
by Jeano on 6/22/24The Salt Shed Outdoors (Fairgrounds) - ChicagoRating: 3 out of 5We were expecting a great evening enjoying an obviously gifted talent, Jon Batiste. He took the stage fashionably 15min+ late, no problem with that, and he and his band did not disappoint. But an hour later, before 9pm, he was waving goodbye. The crowd seemed a little confused. An encore followed and then he did a New Orleans style walk thru the crowd, both downstairs and upstairs. This was the shortest set we have ever heard short of a rainout. It was like a festival set would be featuring successive artists, such as at Bonnaroo where they were headed next.
