He has played with most of the greats because he is one of the best himself.
Leon gave a great performance at the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles, LA. Please bring him back again!
He was awesome. Played for 1 1/2 hours straight. So glad I went. Was not disappointed at all.
GreAt as usual. He played the whole time. No breaks. His stories were true reminiscing of the birth of rock and roll. Sounds just like did thirty years ago.
Leon was great! He performed for about 90 minutes on the day before his 74th birthday. His voice is in great shape and his piano playing was effortless and right on. Good to have him back on stage. Go see him, you won't regret it!
Leon has always been a god in my mind. This was the first time I got to see him live. I am so glad I did finally get to watch Leon perform his magic! He does not disappoint. Left my daughter and I wanting to hear more. So we went home and played the DVD we bought at the show. Love, love, genuinely love this man.
Great music! Few breaks between songs. Tight band.
Despite being up in age, Leon played a great show.
The Shelter People were out in force that night! Leon did not disappoint at all. Sounded great singing and his playing was impeccable. Top notch band, very tight and Leon was an amusing character too. Well worth going to experience. Didnt play Masquerade or Superstar - might be burnt out on them but played for almost 2 hours straight. Thanks for the memories Mr Russell - awesome birthday present! Lance
Leon puts on a great show, sound well managed, professional artists. This type of venue is good for a show like this where the audience can appreciate the performance. One of the all time greats!
This was our first time at the Cone Denim Entertainment Center. In my opinion, this is a fantastic place for a live performance. Not too big, not too small, but just about right for that intimate location to see one of Rock N Roll's living Legends. The seats were fantastic, complete with wait staff, to satisfy your thirst. The sound was excellent, unlike the Greensboro Coliseum, where the sound is absolutely horrible. I look forward to the next occasion to see live music at this venue.
respect the legend. Mr. Russell may take his time walking onto the stage, but when his fingers hit those piano keys it's magic. The songs we all know the words to, the memories he shares and the realization of age ,all made this experience awesome. I liked his solo's.
Leon Russell gave a great performance in Greensboro. I had never seen him, but I had admired him for many years, and I love his music. He has written and performed on so many fabulous songs, and I'm thrilled he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame FINALLY! His playing was spot on, and he was very personable with the audience. He is a living legend you should not miss.
I've been a fan of his music for years. He put on a terrific show, a mix of classics and newer material. The band was great. I last saw Leon in Dallas over 30 years ago; it was a thrill to see him again. My first time to this venue; intimate setting. Will definitely go again! Leon was engaging and witty, had wonderful stories to tell. And amen! No sunglasses!
Without a doubt we saw a living legend perform this weekend. His singing and piano playing were masterful and on top of everything else he was truly funny. He sang most of his catalog and the set where he played solo was awesome. If you pass up a chance to see Leon, young or old, you will be passing up a chance to see a master apply his craft.
Always enjoy seeing the greats especially since they can still rock
love listening to Dave Mason. Have been listening since my hair was long and dark, and Dave had hair. I feel he was in a hurry to get his set done. Slightly more than an hour of play just didn't seem right.
It was an evening of great music. Insightful stories, and more great music. Lots of greybeards in the audience, but that just showed that the old folks can still boogie. Dave Mason had a great band, and they ripped it up!
We finally got to see Dave Mason in concert! His famous songs have been reworked for this tour, to the point some were barely recognizable. But the stylizing was good and fresh and the audience seemed to enjoy it. His band was good, too, and his humor on point. He returned for one encore before Leon Russell, the main draw. Leon came on stage with his cane and played as good as he always has. He chatted with the audience about some past experiences; those were a bit rambling, leaving some questions he posed unanswered! His band was also good. Overall, I liked that the sound level wasn't' so loud I didn't have punctured eardrums at the end of the night. Yea, I know, I'm getting there myself. Hey, but I'm still enjoying concerts nonetheless. :-) The only negative was the constant glare from silly folks watching this LIVE event through their tiny little screens!
One of the best rock shows I've ever been to. Dave Mason played my favorite Traffic tunes. Leon Russell was, as always, the consummate professional. Both of them sounded like it they did 30 years ago. #StillGotIt. Wilbur is an excellent venue. Intimate and great acoustics.
