Orleans Tickets

I was somewhat surprised at the odd configuration of the venue and the small capacity. However, the sound was clear and not too loud for an intimate venue. The was my first trip to Ludlow Garage and it was neat being at a place with such music history. Orleans was very good, too good a band for a small site like that, although a crowd of < 500 allowed for audience interaction. They played the handful of hit songs they were known for, plus some deeper tracks from their heyday, and a few songs from later releases. The smallish crowd was very enthusiastic for the 90 minute set. Only Lance Hoppen, the bassist, was an original member. He spoke of the history between songs, including that of his late brother Larry who was the main singer. "Fly" Amero filled the void as vocalist and guitarist. He is a wonderful performer, singer, guitarist. Resembles the vocals or Larry Hoppen, but a little lower, bluesier feel than the higher soulful sound of Larry. One disappointment was the absence of original member, guitarist, singer John Hall, who had recently taken a sabbatical. I was also a fan of his John Hall band in the early 80s. A very pleasant surprise was a song by Lance Hoppen's original band, King Harvest, called Dancing in the Moonlight. This was a good time band with a little introspection. All in all I would recommend seeing them especially if you have not seen them before.

It was 2nd time to see Orleans. Our 1st time at Ludlow Garage.

My wife and I enjoyed the concert. The band has been touring for 48 years and they salons great Fun night and really good music... Go see them!

Great band and great venue. We have already signed up for another event!

Orleans was a 5 star concert. I expected a couple feel good songs I knew, but man were they good. Rock, blues, pop, all done so well... Poco is talented, but past their prime. A good job by them, but no where near the (surprising) quality of Orleans!

One of my all-time favorite bands. The group sounds as fantastic now as they did in the 70's when I first started listening to them. Larry was missed. The lightening was great. The sound awesome. Only sad that the roads to Big Bear were so iced over and two route inaccessible, otherwise I know the place would have been full to capacity. CLASS ACT and very personable. If you get a chance to see Orleans don't pass on it.

Nice to be close up. Staff helpful. Great that Orleans came out to do meet and greets after their performance. Great venue.

Great show. Both groups sounded great. Took us back to years past.Loved the music.

You know how you sometimes see an 'oldies' band and they just don't quite make it? This was NOT the case with Orleans. We had waited for years for them to come West and finally caught them in Las Vegas at the Golden Nugget. They did an extended set, even acknowledging a special request by us for the song 'Sails'....just made our year! The venue was perfect, the tickets priced right, the sound engineering as it should be and the band was fabulous!

Ambrosia as always put on an excellent show particularly backing Stephen Bishop and Bill Champlain. They did not miss a note and provided excellent musical accompaniment and background vocals. I would go see another Ambrosia and Friends anytime. I wish I could say the same for Orleans. They seemed as if they have not rehearsed these songs they have been playing for years. The songs lagged, vocals and guitar solos were off. They did get better as they went along but they were very disappointing.

For a bunch of old guys, Orleans had great energy, sounded fantastic and were very entertaining. All great musicians, these guys put on a great show!

Good old fashioned rock & roll. Great musicians and harmonies

Orleans was great. They were funny and friendly. If you get the chance to see them, go!

The show was great - venue was very nice , good sound, would attend another show here

I grew up listening to and following The Todd Hobin Band around Central NY. Anybody from this area that grew up in the 70s and 80s knows this band. The only thing different back then was they had long, dark hair! The hair color and length may have changed, but the music sounds as good now as it did back in the 70s... maybe even better! Orleans sounded just as fantastic as they did as well. Great music from two fantastic bands, it was a rockin' night!

All three of these bands played well-known hits that are wonderful to hear. They were laid-back and good with the audience. The songs bring back a lot of good memories from hearing them on radio when I was a kid. It was neat to see them play together and back each other up.

The "Back to 76" show was great. Heard all the songs we loved to hear in college and were entertained by more recent songs as well. Sound was good and you could hear the singers. John Ford Coley was quite the entertainer by regaling the audience with a story for each song. We were surprised this concert was not a sell out. You all don't know what you've missed. Hope they all come back to Daytona.

Sound was too loud, this is geared for older people and we don't like being shot our of our seats with noise. First group was goo, second group was awful loud instruments we left half way through their act. We are usually last to leave a concert. Total waste of $100

The concert started out well with John Ford Coley, but the farther into the event the lowder the sound got......now I've been to lots of concerts but when the sound levels got to where you couldn't hear the music for sound. Way too loud for the size of the auditorium. We were surprised at the number of people that left before the concert was over.

Concert was fair at best. Instrumental didn't sound that good. The volunteers at the Peabody were awesome!!
