Shawn Phillips Tickets

It was the worst concert I have ever been to. I guess I went to relive the 70's- sure was a lot of old farts there. (I cant be that old - Am I??) Shawn promised a special night , as it was the last venue of his tour. It was basically Shawn without any live back up musicians- just a computer simulator for needed drums, guitar tracks and possibly voice?? For $50 I could of gone to Nicks bar in South St Paul and heard better and had 15 Rolling Rocks.

This was a Birthday Present from my Husband and we had the best time. It was in such an intimate setting I could have sat there for hours and listened to Shawn sing. Everyone around us was just enjoying the concert so much. We all gave Shawn a Standing OVation at the end as a sign of respect. We Love you Shawn keep rockin'

We had a very good time. Pitch perfect music. It brought back good memories of the very early ‘70s and a time of tranquility and college life. I was rewarded with many favorite songs and their rendition was spot on. I am not an artist. But sometimes, 5 layers of real time recording of instruments were a bit much and blended too much sound together. It has been a long time since I’ve seen Shawn (the old Guthrie in the ‘80’s). I was not dissapointed!!! I am going to fix up the old turn table and listen again.

Great performance and great performer. He still has a wonderful voice - however his music was over amped and drowned him out - that's why I only did 4 stars.

Shawn Phillips has been my all time favorite musician for over 35 years and after last Saturday night's concert he continues to be. Obviously his octave range, the energy of emotion in his voice, the words (which I know by heart), and his talent on the guitar keep me in awe. I brought my Son with me this time (I go to most of his concerts) and he was sitting forward almost the entire time soaking him in. Please keep Shawn coming back to Minneapolis!

Great show. Defenitely worth the trip from Chicago to St. Paul.

Shawn still has an amazing voice - would have liked less of the "computerized music" used. Too much time was spent adjusting - if we were the last performance of the tour - the set should have been more prepared. Also, wish he would have sang more from older albums like second contribution. You could tell the crowd felt this way too - as they were more responsive when these songs were performed.

Shawn is unbelievably humble and friendly. The setting was very intimate and you felt as if he was just playing to you. He still has an amazing voice and is still a fantastic guitar player.

He gets better each time we see him. He is such a pleasure to talk to after the show too. He is an artist for the ages; and is ageless. Kudos to those who continue to support him in Atlanta. Thanks for coming back to Atlanta Shawn! Joanne

It was definitely a trip down memory lane! Shawn did not disappoint! Great show, so glad I went!

Not a good experience! It's time for Shawn Phillips to retire. I guess he can't afford a sound guy, so he was constantly adjusting his sound.... very distracting. He had pre recorded backup music that sounded BAD. He had a cough, and I don't think he was sick. His voice is getting weak. Myself and 4 others I went to the concert with, walked out after 5 songs. I still love his cd's that I have, He just needs to stop entertaining live, for money.

I haven't seen Shawn perform in over 15 years and this was the first time I caught him at the Rythm Room. Listening to Shawn is like hearing angels. He still has that amazing range, didn't miss a note even though it was obvious he was suffering from a cough. I have been in love with his music since I was 14 and, even after 40 years, never tire of it. There is no other musician who can sing, write and play music to compare him to. Wish I could have gone to Cottonwood to see him again. I hope he comes back again soon. He played for a full 2 hours until kicked out as there was another show scheduled at 8:00. Shawn autographed album jackets and CDs/DVDs that he had on sale.

Shawn Phillilps played the Rhythm Room in Phoenix Az on Satuday night Sept 10th. He was more awesome than he's ever been. Shawn is one of the finest musicians to ever hit this earth. He may be little known, only because of politics in the music industry, but he was a big name in his time and he's still a big name to me! He ROCKED the house. I can still feel the riffs in my soul. Thank you Shawn once again for coming to Phoenix and please please please come again next year!!!

As usual Shawn Phillips put on an increadable show. Show started right on time. He had a little problem with either a cough or a throat issue but worked thru it and after the first hour it wasn't an issue. I saw Shawn for the first time back in 1973 and he has never put on a bad show.

I haven't seen Shawn for about 30 years give or take. I brought my girlfriend with me and she didn't even know who he was. I have to say we had a really good time and she even enjoyed herself. In my mind I could hear the old Shawn Phillips so when he forgot the lyrics or seemed to stumble through a song I was a little disappointed, however, my friend said it was great because she didn' know the lyrics or any of the songs so there you are.

Shawn Phillips did a great two hour, non-stop show. His setlist included many of his standards (such as Woman, Miss Lonely, Case Diess, 8500 Years, etc) and new titles that he has not yet recorded. It would be hard to beat this performance for vocal and instrumental excellence.

Shawn gave a great show to an enthusiastic crowd at the Tralf in Buffalo, NY on May 07th. He played for two hours solo, giving us many gems from the past, classics over the years and some newer things. Shawn gave us great background on the history of the songs. Afterwards he graciously signed any and all items that the fans brought. In one case he resigned an guitar that one fan had originally signed by Shawn in 2008.

This show was everything I expected out of such a talented musician. His music, his voice, his personality, made this show a warm and inviting place to be on a Saturday evening. He took the time to meet the people that love and have been following him for years. It's been 36 years for me and never tire of his music. He had even played some music that he hasn't even recorded yet. He leaves you with a renewed sense of self worth.

I saw Shawn Phillips for the first time when I was 22 years old at Kleinhanns from the sixth row, I loved him then and I still do. I took my boyfriend who had never heard him before and he was very impressed with Shawns vocals. It was my birthday on May 7th and the night was special just seeing and hearing Shawn again. Keep the music coming....

I went with a friend who'd never heard of Shawn, and the (now more mature) artist didn't disappoint. He still has a marvelous vocal range particularly considering the passage of time since the recording of his earliest works. He genuinely seemed to enjoy playing The Tralf, commenting thet he "loved this room" (some of the best acoustics to be found in a club type atmosphere). He played a solid two hours and was brought back for an encore. It seemed like half the room stood in line for a chance to meet and greet him, and have him sign a disc. after the show Good to see another older artist that still has his chops, and isn't a parody of himself. We sat next to a couple from New Hampshire that took the trip to see him, and in so doing, made a couple of new friends that night. I think the old hippie in him would've liked knowing that!.
