What a great show. As usual, the Allmans were in top form. The sound was perfect and their music still kicks ass 40 years later! Gregs vocals were outstanding and of course, Warren and Derek dual leads rocked the Greek. Thanks for the great, memorable show!
The Allman Bros. Are still going strong and I would Recommend them forever now the Doobie Bros. Which I came to see just kick butt didn't i left feeling cheated.
Other than the long wait to open the venue doors (which took forever!). Seats were great - in fact there isn't a bad seat anywhere in the place! So for all of you to know - Harrah's Rincon Casino outdoor venue is the place to see a concert in the north-east counties! My seats were on the floor, and I loved how "laid back" every thing there was - I was able at will to walk to the front of the stage area to take photos ( I was not hindered or had anyone tell me I can't, or shouldn't be there). On the bands: Doobie Brothers were in great form. Their sets were especially tight, and voices in fine form. I truly loved the order of " All Time Hits" they played - one after another, and it just kept getting better. This was made easy due to the Doobie's illustrious career, and string of hit albums, and singles throughout the years as number 1. At first, I must say - I was surprised that they were second bill! Allman Brothers band was equally as good. I loved how they jammed in the middle of each one of their songs. I did like the tribute to Duane, although the music of that era in the band's history was NOT the hit making one of the later Allman Bros.. My favortie part came in the second part of the set. This is when they played most of the songs I had come to hear - and they did jam heavily and triumpantly. Most of the audience was on their feet for the majority of the second part of the set as well! All in all - despite the long drive down to San Diego area from Santa Clarita, the entire experience was well worth the journey!
What can I say, Bruce willis showed up and played hormonica, Tom Petty and half of his band also jioned in, doobie bros were right on point, this was abirthday gift from my wife and we had agreat time
The Allman Brothers Band still rock one of the best live shows going today. Great vocals, Great jams, great songs and the best performances.
The Doobies rocked harder than ever before. The low end coming off Skylarks's bass thumped my chest like a percussive jack hammer. They still got it. As far as the ABB. . .what more can you say: Dueling slide work between Derek and Warren, insane. Drums of Fury. . .off the hook. And lets not forget about the main man, Gregg Allman. Almost dead, but you could never tell. Sweet and soulful. The best show of 2009, so far.
Talk about riveting performance. Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, two of the best guitarists performing today, complement each other perfectly--the wailing solos, beautiful harmonies, it was fantastic to see these two legends-in-the-making play off eachtoher's ideas. The rhythm section, which included three (count them three!!) drummers with each having their own drum set, held down solid beats and took old songs to new levels! GO SEE THEM when they come to your town. two full sets, over 3 hours of awesomeness.
WAY TOO COLD OUTSIDE. MOST OF US FROZE. THE BAND INSTRUMENTS WERE SO LOUD YOU COULDN'T HEAR THE WORDS. LOVED THE DOOBIE BROTHERS BEST!
An incredibe show from the first stroke to the last. I cannot say enough about this version of the Allman Brothers, they are a very tight and cohesive unit cranking out the old and new. From Greg on the keyboards, the amazing rythems, solid pounding bass, and out of this world guitarists this band is worth traveling to see. I am seriously considering a trip to Red Rock and Aspen late this summer! Rincon is a great venue, small enough to be considered an intimate show.
This was the first time I'd seen the Allmans in almost 15 years and they were just amazing. Gregg sounds as good as ever and between the unbelievable Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks, I didn't even notice Dickey Betts wasn't there (which in itself is amazing). The Fox is a beautiful theater and I will definitely return. I only wish I would have gone to see them both nights! (I heard I missed Melissa.) Next time they're in town I'll go every night for sure.
These are 2 of my all time favorite groups. Doobie Bros. played many highly anticipated songs for the crowd, however I am waiting patiently for their new release which one particular song called *The Chateau* just had that good ol jammin feeling. It rocked the house!
My husband and I have been to many concerts in our lives (far too many to count) and we were shocked that this one actually started on time! The Doobie Brothers were fantastic and were a great start for the Allman Brothers, who started out with a bang and kept the energy going throughout the entire evening. Greg Allman is as good today as he was 40 years ago. We're looking forward to seeing them again.
Warren haynes was amazing. there were great people and great music. They were very tight and well but together
was great to have the bros here on the west coast again after a long absense. gregg was singing very strong and the b and was absoultley smokin! was a treat to be awestruck by the best living pair of guitar players around and a bans so tight you couldnt run water thru it! the fox theatre is a beautfuly rebirthed to its original glory, what a treat,would not hesitate to see another show at this location, easy bart access as well
This was the best concert I've been to in a long time! The band played together so well I was constantly in an state of elation while listening them; as was everyone else in the house. I would like to see them perform again and again!!
Once the doobie brothers ended i said how can this get any better and then the allman brothers came out and did just as good if not better. they plaed the whipping post, midnight rider, statesboro blues, tom petty and mike cambell came out and played to dylan songs including highway 61. it was so awesome ,everyone was loving the show. the doobie brothers played everything from jesus is just alright to black water to china grove and listen to the music. it was an awesome night that no one will forget!!!!
Good blend of old & new material; however, as is the case with most concerts that appeal to younger audiences, the sound level was much to high. Mature audiences (like this one) don't require this level to enjoy the music. The booming bass completely drowned out much of the other instruments - not to mention the vocals. Wearing ear protection only makes things worse, since the low frequencies are more penetrating, causing the bass to dominate the piece. It almost seems that the sound technicians are partially deaf !!
Great show, especially when Bruce Willis jammed on the harmonica and Tom Petty jammed for a few songs too.
Venues is great! Sounds Great! Doobie Brothers were awesome! Allman Borthers were playng for themselves not for the audience. They played too much new stuff and not nearly enough of the old but goodies!
The band was Great , the songs seemed to go on for ever, too streched out, not much singing, the Sound at the Fox is distorted in balcony, had a railing in our face Great!
