Rock N Blues Fest Tickets

I'll have to say that seeing Johnny Winter for the first time was a treat. He is getting on in years and I will probably not have the opportunity to see him again. Edgar Winter was great as usual. He sings and plays various instruments with unbridled energy. Rick Derringer was so so. Too much banter, more playing. As for Kim Simmonds, formerly of Savoy Brown, his time on stage was much too short. Also, I was expecting that they all play together more than just one song. On a final note, without notice, Leslie West did not perform.

Somewhat disappointed that Leslie West was a no show but otherwise a great show. Kim was great start. Rick is still a top guitar player. Edgar was great to see. What an all around musician! JW is not as spry as he used to be, but a treat to watch and hear none the less. I grew up listening and watching these guys so is was like going back in time.

Opening acts were mostly forgetable. Rick Derringer, Kim Simmonds and Edgar Winter all had same band, they just changed front man! Edgar is still the most uncomfortable front man in the business! But he plays everything he touches great!! Johnny rocked it as always, although the vocals were lacking. And Leslie West was a "No Show"!! Big part of why I bought a ticket!!

Short sets, bad choice of material, Rick Derringer talked to much! Edgar kept looking At his watch and hardly played the keyboards, Johnny Winter is looking bad and sits when performing, I get this and it's understandable, But he did not play with authority at this show, Pretty sloppy really! The sound was bad for the whole show But during Johnny's set it was terrible, just A wall of sound, no instrument distinction. It was kinda cool to c these cats, for past memories But I'm just saying...not a memorable show Unfortunately!

Leslie West was advertised as one of the shows preformers but was a no show! The sound mix quakity was poor eduring the Johnny Winter show. The drums and otherguitars were way to loud and Johnny Winters guitar was muffled fo the the poor mix

the Pearl had excellent seating, acoustics, big screens, show started right on time...very comfy seats..i will go back there as much as possible
