Rick was very engaging with audience. Guitar solos a bit long and kinda hard to hear. Rick turn it up.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Rick Derringer & Pat Travers
by Digger on 8/11/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmiePat never sounded better! He could have played longer, but was the opening act. Rick played hard and had a ball! The bass player was the star! The drummer missed a few ques and endings, but still a worthy show.

by WOODSTOCK52 on 7/24/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmieFRONT ROW SEATS. PAT TRAVERS WAS SMOKING.HE BLEW RICK OUT OF THE WATER. I THINK RICK WAS JUST HAVING A N OFF DAY. THE FINGERS WEREN'T WORKING FOR HIM. HE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SIGN SOME 40 YEAR OLD PHOTOS OF HE AND JOHNNY WINTER FOR ME. RICKS BASS PLAYER WAS THE BOMB.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Bands were good
by opossum on 7/22/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmieBands were good, but could have played another oncore.The casino smoke is terrible. There should be a seperate entrance on the ballroom side for concert going people. And, some kind of stadium seats they could roll in before the show is needed. Seating in the back sucks for views, and it should'nt be that way because the room is'nt too big. Or at least don't let people stand during the show except between songs to applaude and show concert appreciation. But close to home (North Bend), gotta love that.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Travers & Ballroom Shine
by sheinke on 7/16/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmiePat Travers and his band showed why he garnered so much attention in the late 70's with a solid set of blues based bar-rock, pulled off with an easy professionalism for an obviously middle-aged crowd peppered with what looked to be ex-musicians. The intimate Snoqualmie Ballroom makes you feel like you've got front row tickets, even when you don't, and the $25 ticket price was easy on the wallet. Rick Derringer, initially hamstrung by some horribly awful opening songs and a bass player with a cheese factor I haven't seen since the Gong Show, finally got around mid-set to a couple instrumentals that allowed him to display the guitar prowess he's known for. Still, Travers was the highlight of the night.

by Rich56 on 7/16/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmieThis was a longer show than I imagined it would be. Very intimate setting for such a rockin' show.
Rating: 3 out of 5 PT was great!
by Mcfarlo on 7/15/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmiePat Travers did a great job as always, but the venue was a bit steril. He began on time (8:00) and finished his set at the assigned minute, 9:00. One hour allowed him to only play a couple of newer songs and about four of his standards. He seemed very compliant to the casino contract. I have seen him in several other venues and he has gone easily for two and a half hours. It wasn't until aftwards when I realized that casino shows likely put a strict limit on playing time in order to get people back out to the floor to lose money gambling. We also paid a bit extra to sit second row center, but the sound seemed to be mixed to the center of the room so the sound was not that good. Rick Derringer was a bit too PBS for me. It seemed a bit kitch.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Pat Travers was the best
by rickster231 on 7/15/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmiePat Travers still puts on a great show. Rick Derringer played a lot of his new material and it just didn't have the punch.

by doylehoyle on 7/15/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmiePat Traver was awesome. I don't think Rick should headline. PT is the better performer, etc..
Rating: 3 out of 5 Pat got hosed!
by IDONTCARE on 7/15/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - SnoqualmieWith the billing on the ticket I was expecting Pat and Rick to each get the same amount of time to perform at this show, but alas the PT band was the "opening" act. They opened with two new songs (which was cool) but then it was into the hits + "Red House" Despite the fact that Pat's band sounded great (after the too much bass problem was corrected) I was left wanting for more PT songs. First time at that venue for me, which I liked.
