The show was amazing I will definitely be going again!
Three bars for 1000 folks, not good. $12 warm beer not good. I was in second row seat very good but seating at a josh Abbott concert? He needs the crowd up front going crazy. Seating =bore me to death. The SP 1902 building is very cool and the concept is great. Lively surrounding neighborhood. I suppose venue will improve with time.
I loved this concert because Josh Abbott Band made the experience! They are amazing performers! My only complaint about JAB is their lack of merchandise and available sizes. The venue, The Espee was beautiful. The issue comes with the front seats. These chairs are entirely too close together. I am an average sized person and barely fit in the seat. Any person that was somewhat large was essentially sitting on top of the person next to them. I do not recommend buying seats in the front rows, they are not comfortable. In addition, these seats had no ventilation and the fans the venue used did not provide any air flow. Everyone in the front section was hot, sweaty and uncomfortable. The misters also made the situation worse as they just provided additional humidity without any airflow. There should also be rules as far as standing at the bar. A group of fans went up to the bar acting quite childish and ruined the view of many other fans.
Josh Abbott never fails. He always puts on a great show and has great interaction with the audience! This was my first time at The Espee, great venue. I love that it’s a smaller place. Makes the experience so much better! Loved it!
Good music from his early stuff to the new. To see Josh as a performer and a family man was a great experience to see on stage. Can’t wait till he is in the area again
Josh was on fire!!! Great music and great concert. The inn of the mountain gods left a lot of room for improvement. Only 2 bars open for about 3 thousand people, each bar had 1 bar tender. So waiting 30 minutes in line was the norm!!!!
Fantastic!!!!! They are fun and interactive and just a really great time. They should be on your list of Texas country to see!!!
My wife and I had been to HOB before to see Wade Bowen and Randy Rogers, it was a GREAT CONCERT!! We were excited to see Josh Abbott Band, but left somewhat disappointed. The music was so loud you couldn’t hear Josh Abbott singing. I really think he’s one of the best singers in the Texas Country Music scene, but we couldn’t hear him over his band. We didn’t come to hear an instrumental, we came to hear Josh Abbott. The only part that you were truly able to hear him singing was when he did the “bluegrass” segment of the concert. It was great, but the before and after that segment was not very good. I’m mixed on whether or not I’ll return to HOB for another concert.
It sounded like the speakers were blown. Everyone in our section left the seats it was so bad
The House of Blues was an awesome venue for JAB - hope they play there again! Great show, great mix of old and new songs, and the atmosphere was so fun!
