Taj Mahal Tickets

Taj Mahal is a national treasure. I’ve seen him now in every decade since the 80s and he still gives a great show.

We got tickets months before the show- 5th row center ‘cause Taj Mahal has been on my “must see live” list for more than a few decades. And Los Lobos on the same bill… well, this was a no-brainer "gotta see"show. I hadn’t been to the Uptown in Kansas City since the late ’80’s and was prepared for the seating to be a challenge but the music would more than make up for that shortcoming. Boy, we’re we surprised… From the very first song from the North Mississippi Allstars ( the “warm up"band!!) the extreme distortion coming from the bass out of the right bank of speakers made the otherwise fantastic music UNBEARABLE. It was so distorted that it totally took over the great vocals and guitar playing from Luther Dickinson. The only time we could hear him was when there was NO bass. After the 30-40 minute set we were ready to leave but, figuring maybe the house sound guys set the mix for the main acts, thought we’d stick around. What a major disappointment; same thing for Taj Mahal AND Los Lobos. We moved around to different seats to see whether the mix sounded better elsewhere in the room, but no. I won’t say that my $200 was wasted because both acts were, for me, once in a lifetime opportunity. But unless something is done AND PUBLICIZED about the sound system at the Uptown I won’t be returning; which is a shame because KC needs more venues this size to host great national acts.

doors opened at 6.00. only to lobby. 6.30 before we could sit down. started 30 minutes late. opening band played for almost an hour. they were horrible. then 30 minutes break. Taj mahal played Hawaii music. thought it was going to be blues. we were so disappointed we just walked out. horrible concert

Taj gave us a fantastic taste of his artistry. A true legend.

Taj Majal is a treasure, see him while you can because he is getting up there in age but he and his band put on a very entertaining set before Los Lobos (who took advantage of the amazing sound @The Uptown Theater). Los Lobos played one of the top shows that I’ve seen from them, after the 6 or so times that I’ve heard them play live, over the years. They are roots rock, blues and traditional Mexican music MASTERS. Excellent set by them and the opener North Mississippi All-Stars were just great!

The noise level from all performances made it miserable. Left early. Total waste of time and $$$

He didn’t sing any songs from his last album- Still good

What can I say, it's Taj, he is amazing. The band is amazing. Banjo, steel guitar, regular guitar, Taj played some keyboards too. This show had some world music but was heavy on the blues. A nice selection of songs. The music was great. Love the Cabot, small enough that almost all the seats a great seats. Just a heads up no opening band and he starts on time.

This multitalented musician & singer did not disappoint he and his band were TREMENDOUS I’ve been wanting to see him live forever The venue was just perfect. Long live Taj Mahal and LIVE MUSIC

Cabot Theater is a wonderful, historic venue for music. It's small enough that all seats are good. Taj Mahal is still going strong. Played all his guitars and banjos beautifully. His quartet is strong. All seasoned pros.

Man oh man - what a treat - Read about the man - listened to some of his stuff and been wanting to see him - that happened last night at The Cabot - PHENOMINAL - The man is 80.. EIGHTY!!! His voice is, I don't have an adjective to accurately describe it - at times it was gravely - silky - growly - bluesy - clear - high pitched - fantastic - and his inflection on a single word for emphasis - killer - repeating a word or lyric ala Van Morrison or John Lee Hooker - damn - moving on to the instruments - he played at least 4 different guitars - maybe 5 - a banjo - which he got the blues out of in the most fantastic way - a wow - he played keys too - and then a ukulele - he took us to the Islands - a mix of Blues - Roots - a touch of Africa and his Island influence from his time in Hawaii for sure - he's a treasure - Highlights for me were Stagger Lee - Fishin Blues (the opener) - Queen Bee (an ode to TLMJ haha) - Corinna/Corrine - Take a Giant Step (Love love love that song) - Everybody is Somebody, Nobody is Nobody - FANTASTIC SHOW - Fun Fact - Taj took his stage name - Taj Mahal after having recurring dreams of Mahatma Gandhi - coolest guy

It was amazing - the Larcom Theater is a great venue for seeing live acts and Taj Mahal was spectacular...

Taj Mahal is ALWAYS fabulous. He ROCKED the joint. Dinner service was pretty hideous. Entree served cold, salad came 40 minutes after the entree. WAYYYY TOO many seats at the dining tables. When you but seats right next to each other NO ONE has any elbow room. VERY uncomfortable dinner. Fantastic music.

Everyone gave the feeling happy to see us and what can we do for you. Sound Quality Perfectly Clear!! Taj Mahal Performance WOW!!!! !st music venue didn't feel crowded> Nice large and soft seats. LIKE THANK ALL OF YOU FOR WONDERFUL WONDERFUL SPECIAL OCCASION. HOPE TO VISIT SOON AGAIN. GO GIANTS !!!!

Overall, fantastic. The artist was great, the venue beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful, beverage selection wonderful, felt safe with current situation, the only reason I gave four stars was a huge disappointment in the food. Decent selection, but terrible quality and/or portions. Chips were stale and other choices had small portions. I don't mind paying at events a bit more as expected but would expect better quality.

It was a wonderful afternoon of blues by the master!

What can you say about Taj Mahal---fantastic, as usual. And the venue at Krug winery excellent! HIghly recommend concerts there.

The Blue Note staff exudes hospitality! The music is Taj Mahal what else is there to say. He is a gift to the universe master of lyrics and instruments. Thank you sir for a great afternoon.

Wonderful show & a great venue. Taj was amazing and played all of his hits.

Small venue, perfect weather, and Taj was on his game.
