Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul Tickets

I attend many concerts at a variety of venues. The Chevalier in Medford was the worst. It was uncomfortable primarily because the seats were small and close together. Parking was difficult. Entry into the venue was difficult. I don't know if the actually show was so-so or if the acoustics were so bad that it was difficult to enjoy the show. Done with the Chevalier.

Great show ! Did not know Peter Wolf wasOpening Act. He was #!×÷=/## Great.

Excellent show in a small theater setting with great acoustics.

I love Little Steven and thought the SoulFire! Tour was great. This extension of tour with Summer Of Sorcery was just okay. Some highlights but most did not work. Starting out, the band was over-caffeinated and didn’t gel. Sound mix was poor to boot. Took too long to come together and I felt bad they were working so hard and not delivering. A great performance of Los Desparicidos had one emphatically thinking about the separated families at the border. I am a Patriot rang truer than ever. But along side those were too many forgettable songs. Opener the great Peter Wolf, arguably the greatest R’n’R frontman, should have gotten more time.

I'm sending you a review of the Little Steven show at the Beacon last night, Peter Wolf opening. I'll send you some photos from my phone. Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul gave us a rock and roll show at the Beacon Theatre last night. I use the term show as opposed to concert advisedly. There were costumes. There were characters. There was choreography. And boy, was it fun. After a rousing nine song set by J. Geils front man Peter Wolf, the Disciples hit the stage (at a very manageable 8:45 pm) dressed in outfits that looked like technicolor versions of the costumes from The Deuce. The male band members were in matching candy-striped pants and floral shirts; some with feathered pimp hats. The horn section was resplendent in matching vests. The three female background singers (an inadequate term because they were hardly in the background) sported enormous Afro wigs in assorted colors. And Mr Van Zant entered in a cape to match his usual bandana. This band sounds as good as it looks. With two keyboards, two guitars, five horns and a percussionist they produce a wall of sound. And the background singers must have lost 5 pounds each from their vigorous dancing. Steve and company played just about all of their most recent "Summer of Sorcery" album. I liked the album but not as well as 2017's "Soulfire". I was hoping for a few songs from that album, but they were a no show along with Bruce. Oh well. There was also a mini-set of three songs Steve and Bruce wrote for Southside Johnny, as well as two old chestnuts - "I Am A Patriot" and "Sun City". Isn't apartheid long gone? Maybe time to retire the song. "Soul Power Twist" was accompanied by some volunteer go-go dancers from the audience. Steve Van Zandt as a front man doesn't have voice of Wolf or Bono, or the dance moves of Jagger. He's more like a benevolent ringmaster keeping control of the circus, and that he does very well. And he plays guitar better than any of them. As for Peter Wolf, the man still kicks ass, even though he evidently doesn't have one. How does a man his age stay so skinny? Somebody give him a sandwich, please! He fronted a fine 5 piece band led by veteran guitarist Duke Levine. Not many openers bring the crowd to their feet, but he did. Wolf later returned to do Freeze Frame with the Disciples. A good time was had by all.

Fantastic show in a beautiful venue. The house was rockin'!

The most "tight" performance I have ever seen! 15 performers on stage, all giving it their all, and I did not ever hear an off note! I hope Little Steven is able to get back on tour, but am sure he deserves a rest after 3 years touring. Can't wait to see him again.

Purchased two orchestra seats row V seats 103 and 104. Very disappointing, could not center area of stage. People filming show were standing on platform a few rows in front of me. It appeared seats to my left were not sold.

Excellent! Beyond belief. The talent that Little Steven had on that stage.

Great concert from start to finish. High energy! Great horn section & the back-up singers were excellent. If you haven't seen him make it to a show near you.
