Roger McGuinn Tickets

Good mix of rock and folk music. Stories were great.

Great stories, great music. It was a great night out.

Outstanding...just like the old show on VH1, "Storytellers"

This was my first time attending a Roger McGuinn performance. Outstanding is the first word that comes to mind concerning his performance. He had everyone in the palm of his hand from the momment he took the stage. His story telling of his life's experiences was engrossing and informative. His musical ability was amazing and flawless and flowed so smoothly from his hands. He made it seem "easy" but his life's story told of how hard he had practiced to get to where he is now musically. I came away with a profound appreciation for the man and his music. He made everyone feel "at home" with his performance. I would see him again in a heartbeat. I am informing all my friends of this amazing musician and person.

I wanted to go to the original Woodstock Concert site, to see where it all happened. At the same time I figured on seeing a concert, since I had a 3 hour drive each way. The Woodstock museum and site were great, and the Roger McGuinn concert was amazing. Here is a guy that has been performing for 50 years, and is still at the top of his game. He told stories about the Folk movement of the day, and about his personal history. The show was incredible, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Folk music, and the music of the Byrds.

Roger is probably one of the most underrated singer/songwriter/storyteller around. I had second thoughts about going, and afterward i was blown away by his musicianship, vocals after all these years, and presentation of pretty much the evolution of FOLK/ROCK- coined to describe what the Byrds were doing in the 60's. A wonderful journey before and since The Byrds. What a shame Gene Clark passed away in 1991. They made beautiful music together. A must see for anyone of our generation, and all others, also. Remember, like my wife said- These guys wont be around forever- enjoy now!!!

Unbelievable. That's how I remember the swirling sound the electric 12-string reverberating through a room not much bigger than a Starbucks, as Roger McGuinn delivered Eight Miles High in a rich tenor that hasn't lost a shred of its original luster. McGuinn was a true folkie, sharing vignettes from musical history, as well as his own stints with groups such as the Limelighters and Bobby Darin. I always though of him as more of a rock 'n' roller, and couldn't be more enthralled to hear him stripped to his guitars, a banjo, and a handful of life stories. Engaging the audience. Making people laugh and smile. That's the way it's done, folks. I won't go into a song-by-song analysis. Suffice it to say that hearing everything from old blues songs and sea shanties to Byrds classics from Gene Clark to Gram Parsons era and beyond, some classic rock 'n' roll snippets thrown in to enliven the stories, I was blown away. It was like going to see the Beatles. My favorite moments? A hypnotic rendition of Joni Mitchell's Dreamland. The amazing acoustic arrangement of Eight Miles High. The wonderful Byrds B-side She Don't Care About Time. A traditional folk song called Well Well Well that every folk singer should learn immediately. The 5D encore. And on, and on... Cheers, Roger McGuinn!

I saw Roger McGuinn at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga, CA. It was one of the best performances that I have seen in the last 40 years. Not only is his voice still in top form but he is one of the best guitar (both 6 and 12 string) players that I have seen. Roger McGuinn is a treasure that everyone should take the time to enjoy. I hope that he plays around here soon. I definitely would love to see him again.

Roger McGuinn lead a clinic on rock n' roll history at Villa Montalvo, Saratoga, Ca. a few evenings ago. The dapper McGuinn looked fluid and loose as he explained his musical history from the early years in Chicago and New York with the Lime Lighters to his time with the Byrds and the film score for Easy Rider. He would punctuate his experiences with the songs he wrote at the time. A unique and fascinating evening with an American musical treasure. He did not delve into his current folk music projects ...... A great show!

Roger was really great. He intermixed stories of how things happened to come together about his carier and put on a very good show. The encoures were outstanding. He performed solo at the Montalvo Carriage House

McGuinn turned simple talk and a single guitar into a night to remember.

Roger McGuinn is a talented multifacteted performer. Not only can he sing but can play the banjo and guitars superbly. It was interesting to hear how he got started in the business while in high school. He is also a gifted song writer. I would recommend seeing him to my friends.

The venue and Roger's warmth made it a special evening. It felt like he was playing a private concert to just the two of us. We also met his wife, Camille, also a real charmer. We enjoyed his journey through his career, from beginning to now.

What a treat... a full two hours of stories and songs tracing Roger's incredible folk and folk rock career from earliest folksinger days in Chicago to the forming and success of The Byrds to his later songwriting. He's a charming storyteller... Bob Gibson, Baez , Dylan, Big Bill Broonzy, The Limelighters, Beatles, Byrds and The BeeGees are a few of the folks he met along the way. And his 6- and 12-string playing, WOW! Irish folksongs, blues, Byrds/Dylan hits, dazzling bluegrass. Loved it all!

I thought it was going to be only a performance of songs, but he gave us a vast musical chronicle of his life. A great one man show, as rich as Ray Davies' story of his Kinks. A very entertaining glimpse at the evolution of his country and folk style with a " Beatle beat " added . I felt very fortunate to share some time with Roger and learn about all the influences that formed his sound.

McGuinn put on a great show last night. The house was small, but packed. The intimate Carriage House at Villa Montalvo inteh Saratoga Hills - the perfect place to see acoustic folk music. McGuinn started promptly at 7:30 playing his Martin seven-string acoustic (a special model made for him to allow sounds like a 12 string, he later explained). He was sitting o a stool, and flanked by a 5-string banjo, 12-stirng acoustic, and of course, 12-string Rickenbacker electric. Over the next 110 minutes, McGuinn took us through a mostly chronological review of his history, starting with Bob Gibson folk, and tales of the young "know it all" McGuinn going to music school in Chicago. From there, tales of backing the Limelighters and Chad Mitchell Trio, where on a USIA tour of South America, he sat on a cliff, and wrote some cliff music. This turned out to be the bridge to Chestnut Mare, of which he then did a beautiful version. Back to tales of working for Bobby Darin, starting the Byrds, and off we go! Highlights were McGuinn's guitar playing and storytelling, which made the show a lot lot Ray Davies' Storyteller shows of years past. And the songs. Old Blue, Mr. Spaceman, Wasn't Born to Follow, Pretty Boy Floyd, Sou You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star, Just a Season... The list goes on. The show ended with encores of Turn Turn Turn (electric) and Eight Miles High on the 7-string. And we walked out into the cool fall air at 9:20 in the evening, walked through the trees to the parking lot, and headed down the hill towards home. Great show.

Show was great. A tour of my times...Roger's guitar playing has just gotten better. He's remarkable.

Always entertaining and musically beyond words! Could listen to Roger play all night. The man is a virtuoso on stringed instruments. The venue is perfect for him, and he always seems to enjoy himself as well.

The venue was excellent the sound system was good. The history time table was excellent.

His voice was great, his picking was great, his delivery was great, the format was great. Great music and history all in one.
