Not great. And I'm being generous.
by Schotshkie on 11/7/16The Space - EvanstonFor $75 a ticket, I would expect the headliner would play longer than the opening artist. I don't think that happened. Really disappointed.

About
SUZANNE VEGA IN CONCERT:
In the late '80s, singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega carved a small but potent niche for herself with a relaxed, poetic brand of alt-pop. Nuanced, witty songs like "Tom's Diner" and "Luka" drew heavily on folk traditions, earning her popularity in alternative circles that she continues to enjoy today. A humble, genuine performer, Vega's soothing voice and smart songwriting will be front and center as she embarks on a 2014 tour in support of her eighth studio album Tales from the Real of the Queen of Pentacles.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
LA-born, New York-raised Suzanne Vega was a precocious young talent, beginning to write poetry at age nine and penning her first song by age 14. While majoring in literature at Bard College, she frequently traveled to Manhattan to perform in small venues and participate in the songwriter cooperative Fast Folk. She became one of the first artists from the Fast Folk family to make it big when she landed a major label contract in 1984, releasing her self-titled debut a year later. The album was a critical and commercial success, setting the stage for a string of acclaimed releases that included Solitude Standing (1987) and Days of Open Hand (1990). On the road in 2014 in support of her eighth album, fans can expect to hear some much-awaited new material alongside favorites like "Tom's Diner" and "In Liverpool."
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Suzanne is an amazing performer; she is so personable and comfortable with her audience. I almost felt like she was in my living room. Her voice continues to be strong and unique; she hasn't aged at all.”
"Suzanne has definitely got stamina...she took no breaks, her voice was remarkable, and her story-telling added to the enjoyment. She gave a walk down memory lane encore (Luka, Tom's Diner, Calypso, + one other) and played the guitar with energy."
"Incredible show. Once again Suzanne Vega impressed with her simple poetic lyrics and quirky folk/rock/pop. Her guitarist is amazing!"

by NOVA80sFan on 11/4/16Birchmere - AlexandriaSuzanne Vega played a great mix of old and new. Amazingly deep and expressive lyrics. The back story shared on some songs was fascinating. It was also educational as her newest work focuses on the great writer Carson McCullers.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Great blend of old and new
by joeRandom on 11/4/16Birchmere - AlexandriaIt was great to see Suzanne Vega again! She played a lot of the original stuff up front, told us a lot about her new album / play and then played some from that, also. Her song descriptions were very informative.
Rating: 5 out of 5 An amazing performer
by Mushira on 10/31/16The Sinclair - CambridgeI've known Suzanne Vega since I was a little girl and i've loved her songs. That was the first time I went to her concert. She is a great performer, funny and touching, she shared private moments with the audience and the audience was great!!!!! And the most amazing thing is that her voice hasn't changed a bit in the last 30+ years I would definitely recommend

by Wilful1 on 10/31/16The Sinclair - CambridgeLook, I'm old. Suzanne Vega is old. I don't know this club the Sinclair (which seemed perfectly pleasant) so I don't know GA means no seats Fine. But my ticket does say "8:00 PM". Doesn't say "Suzanne Vega and Friends". Opening act doesn't appear until after nine. We don't see Suzanne Vega until after ten. When you've paid for tickets, parking, a babysitter and your ticket says "8pm" I consider 10 to be two hours late. Artists make all their money by touring these days. They need every ticket sale they can get. Do NOT screw with a frequent concert goer.

Rating: 5 out of 5 A true artist
by Wicce on 10/23/15Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra BeachThis event felt very intimate and personal. Suzanne Vega is a true artist and folk performer. She weaves the story of her songs into her performance, peppered with humble humor and endearing quirks. If you are a fan of her work, definitely don't pass up the chance to see her preform live. It gave me an even deeper appreciation of her work.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Suzanne Vega was Absolutely Wonderful!
by CFWahoo on 10/21/15Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra BeachSuzanne and Gerry Leonard (who was Bowie's lead guitarist, or at least his "musical director") put on a very emotional, sensitive, and amazing show. Suzanne has a very understated, humble way about her. Her banter with the audience was very kind and enlightened. Gerry didn't say anything, verbally, but his guitars did all of the talking. My wife, who wasn't really a fan, enjoyed the show far more than she expected. Me, on the other hand, who used to secretly listen to Suzanne's first album, and maybe even her second, well, she performed those songs to studio perfection. Don't miss her, and Gerry, if you can!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Suzanne Vega: Excellent Show
by Anonymous on 10/19/15Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra BeachSuzanne's smooth voice with excellent music by Gerry Leonard made for 2 hours of perfect music. Very friendly Meet N Greet by both artists afterwards made for a perfect evening.
Rating: 5 out of 5 so wonderful. amazing . emotional. I adore her.
by miater on 10/19/15Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra BeachI saw Suzanne back in 1987 when Luka was on the radio. Since then I just never had the chance I guess. When I heard she'd be playing a two hour ride from my house, I jumped on it. Her voice is so pure , her intonation is just impeccable. She was performing with Gerry Leonard on electric guitar with an amazing array of effects. Her sense of humor is a great as her music. She told several stories of the inspiration behind her lyrics. I hope to see her again.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Suzanne Vega
by herbsty on 2/25/15Fox Tucson Theatre - TucsonI generally enjoy Suzanne Vega's music but my major complaint about this performance was that most of the time I was unable to understand her words. Either she was too close to the mike, there was a problem with the sound system, the accompanying guitar was too loud or she was not articulating clearly. Although she has a nice manner and writes great lyrics and music, this concert just did not do it for me.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Suzanne gives another great show!
by TowieWayne on 2/25/15Fox Tucson Theatre - TucsonOnce again, Suzanne gives a great performance! She performed a mixture of her classics as well as her new material. This is an artist that never stops! Suzanne is always touring and/or writing.
