MICHAEL MCDONALD IN CONCERT:
Ever since his 1982 solo debut, Michael McDonald has consistently dominated soft rock airwaves with his rich baritone voice and soulful performances. McDonald's powerhouse live shows are a veritable trip back in time, combining beloved hits like "I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near)" with classic material from his days with the Doobie Brothers. A distinguished performer with undeniable soul, McDonald never fails to bring the house down, and his 2014 tour dates will be no different.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in St. Louis, McDonald played in several bands in high school before heading out to Los Angeles to pursue music professionally. By the mid-'70s, he had landed himself a gig playing with jazz rock legends Steely Dan, appearing on several of their most influential albums including 1977's Aja and 1980's Gaucho. Around the same time, he was recruited by the Doobie Brothers for a national tour, going on to become a full-time member of the band as lead vocalist on classic recordings like "Takin' it to the Streets" and "What a Fool Believes." Following the Doobie's farewell tour, McDonald released his 1982 solo debut If That's What It Takes, a Top 10 hit on both the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. With eight studio albums and an extensive list of acclaimed collaborations under his belt, McDonald has plenty of hits to choose from as he puts together the setlists for his 2014 tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"He was absolutely wonderful as was his band and singers accompanying him. His voice was impeccable and just as awesome as it is on all of his recorded music."
"The performance was exceptional. They sounded terrific and the setlist was a blend of solid hits and several covers that meshed perfectly. The audience was totally engaged and McDonald really hit it out of the park."
"The guy still has it! Nice mix of Doobie days, and his own twist on some Motown standards. The musicians and female vocalist complimenting him were fantastic in their own right."
A very enjoyable evening with Michael McDonald and Paul Reiser. Many people in the audience knew Michael or his family so it fun learning about his early life in St Louis.
Paul There's not much more to say, Riverport needs better option for handicapped customers.
Thought it was a concert. Was disappointed to find out it was a promotional book signing.
This was a book tour. Not a musical performance. That info was not clearly listed on the ticket selling page. Very frustrated I bought four great tickets and drove two hours.
Michael McDonald and Paul Reiser were a perfect pair. This was one of the best author interviews I’ve attended. They were funny and candid.
My husband and I attended the Michael McDonald/Paul Reiser event at The Pageant in St. Louis to discuss Michael’s biography. What an entertaining 90 minutes, learning about Mr.McDonald’s beginnings growing up in the St. Louis area and his musical career. The show flowed because of Mr. Reiser’s organization, quick wit and friendship with Mr. McDonald. It was a Perfect date night!
Folks are thinking they are gonna get a little music with the event promoted. Instead you'll pay $40 to listen to Paul Reiser interview him. Rip-Off / Deceptive / Not clear advertising
No music Should have advertised it that way would have been a much smaller cost
We were excited to see Michael McDonald . . . In concert. It was not obvious to us that this show was instead a book release. We had no idea!! Many people at the show had the same experience. Like them, we left early!! We love Michael McDonald and would have enjoyed the concert. The show was not excitable to keep our interest. We were nodding to sleep! Sorry for the bad review!
Two men who seem like they have been part of my family since I was a kid told fresh, funny stories and I left liking them even more than I did when I purchased the ticket. Plan to read my signed book on the beach next week.
