The story telling along with the music made the concert that much more enjoyable. The central performer had grown up with the original Trio and knew their history from the sources. Good selection of old favorites and 3-4 never heard before songs made for a really fun 2-hr concert.
They were terrific! Sang all the oldies. Did the first half with stopping as they did the second.
Fantastic show. Brought back many memories. Not long enough.
The ads don't tell you that none of the singers are the original members of the group. This group does an excellent job of reproducing the music that I knew and loved growing up. It was a wonderful evening of memories. My only issue is that when the performers talked, most of the time, they were incoherent. They did not speak loudly and clearly. They mumbled into the microphone and, frequently, they turned their heads and did not even speak into the microphone. Often, they whispered to each other and giggled like immature little school children. This group needs to greatly improve their stage presence and to make an effort to show the audience that they are working hard to be heard clearly. And, often, their jokes are stupid.
The Kingston Trio still sounds great. They played a number of standards you want to hear live and some things you might not have heard before. And since it's Boston they played Charlie. It was very nice to have another Kingston Trio son on stage for a few tunes for a brief Kingston Quartet. Don't know how long they will keep this up, but as long as they do, I will go to their shows. I preferred them in Rockport,l the Cabot isn't bad,and clearly making a comeback. You can see they are renovating a fast as they can afford. It will be very very nice when it's finished. A true gem of a theater.
The Kingston Trio who came in after the intermission were terrific! Their voices were as good as they were when they first started. They engaged the audience and we loved the selection of their songs. They were a lot of fun to watch and we will go to see them again! The first half was too long, not great.
The Kingston Trio played so many songs that I had forgotten about. The banjo, 2 guitars, and bass were always in perfect harmony. It was fun to hear the performers give each other little "digs" once in a while during their routine. My husband brought ear plugs as we had been to the Civic Arts Plaza where we felt like we were getting blasted. Not so with this performance. Just the right amount of volume to make the show pleasant. And of course, since we knew some of the songs, it was fun to sing along. I would recommend this show.
The Kingston Trio Concert was great!! The trio that is touring is very personable and has great stories to tell. Because it is made up of relatives of the original trio they have more personal stories to tell. Good selection of songs were played.
The Kingston Trio ( Josh , Mike and Tim ) gave a great show in Thousand Oaks, Cal. They were exciting, sang fabulous harmonies and performed several songs that I have never heard any version on the Trio perform. Their "encore" of Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream and This Land is Your Land brought tears of joy ... Do not miss them when they are in your town !!!!!
This was a wonderful concert. LOVED John Sebastian and Enjoyed the Kingston Trio very very much. Would go to that theatre again Nooo Problem!
I grew up listening to their music but never saw them live. They were great! So entertaining! Amazing musicians. Great rapport with the audience. Not only do I recommend them, I would go see them again!!
Great show. Would have liked to hear Tijuana Jail. Liked all the stories about the songs & the group
Great Show!!!! They were right on!!!!! Old and new songs, great personalities and all 3 were really into it. The audience loved them!!!
After waiting for years for the Kingston Trio to come to Ft. Lauderdale, I was excited to get tickets to see them for my husband's birthday as we both love their music. I believe that most people go to see groups like this to hear the songs made popular by these groups. This was not to be at this show. In spite of their great voices, these gentlemen only managed to sing about three songs recognizable songs. Additionally, they only performed for a little over an hour and they spent a significant portion of that time telling boring introductory stories before singing songs that were unfamiliar. On the other hand, we saw Chris MacDonald a few weeks ago and he performed for two and a half hours! Anyway, the last song the Kingston Trio sang was the M.T.A. and, although everyone was hoping for an encore, they quickly exited the stage and "never returned!"
Enjoyed the stories, old songs and new, performed by talented musicians.
The Kingston Trio was wonderful as they always are.They were flawless in their performance.
It was a great show filed with oldies of folk music.
Great show !!! I have seen the K trio several other times in my lifetime. They put on a great show !!! Have to hand it to Bob Shane still plays with the group !!!
The individual acts themselves were very good! Unfortunately, when Barry McGuire started there were some sound issues with his mic/guitar, & his performance was rushed. Basically, all acts performed well, but seemed a bit rushed. 1 encore, then that was it. Granted, all acts were in the lobby for autographs, so maybe that's why the performances were short. I was VERY disappointed with the turnout! I'm was embarrassed for the performers! The people that were there, were very enthusiastic, but the turnout was surprising low! Should have been more promotion!
