They were great.... my girlfriend I thought it would boring but a good cause... they were very entertaining and good music.
My only complaint was that the band music was too loud. Some of the words ot the songs were drowned out by the loudness of the guitars, drums, etc. Very good concert, if the volume had just been adjusted down. The theater itself is really beautiful. The lead singer who must be close to 80 years old has the lungs of a 30 year old. How in the world could he hold those notes so long??
This was a high energy event and very interactive with the audience - great voices, instramental, and combined a standing ovation evening! Took my 70 year old dad for his birthday gift and he loved everything about the show as we did too. Great choice!
For a bunch of gentlemen to be preforming as long as they have, they still got it! The music was incredible and their ability to keep the show moving and upbeat was beyond what I had expected. I wouldn't hesitate to see them again.
The Venue Gospel Brunch with the Blind Boys was Excellent the group even minus their Lead Singer was great, they had the crowd up out of their seats praising God's Goodness. The Venue staff service was Excellent, the Buffet was good with a perfect pairing of menu items. It was great price for a Concert, Meal and Open Bar...Thank You..Horseshoe for a Great Event
I really enjoyed the Blind Boys of Alabama concert it was wonderful. Their harmonies are tight and their enthusiasm contagious.
Terrrrific!! The opening act and accompianists were amazing as were the Blind Boys. Would give five stars except I wanted more! The Uptown Theater is the greatest venue, art deco and great sound, I will be back.
Heartfelt spectacular Voices STILL! Great fun and entertainment making everyone part of the amazing, praising music experience unique to the Blind Boys of Alabama. Thankyou! Sarah and Sean Watkins were a special surprise ( -being a NC fan also!) Looking forward to The Blind Boys and Sarah&Sean( &friends) next CD, thanks again for the good vibes and Great music -you ALL!
This group has been performing for over 60 years. Originally formed by artists from the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind, they have developed a unique gospel sound. This was their Christmas tour, so they added a few Christmas songs to their repertoire. Unfortunately, 2 of the long-time members have passed away, but the replacement members hold up their end of the bargain pretty well. It is a rollicking, clapping, inspiring show. The venue, Uptown Theatre in Napa, California, added to the experience because it is an intimate venue with great acoustics and a beautifully restored old movie theater.
FOR THEIR AGES, THEIR VOICES AND VITALITY WAS AMAZING. WE DID NOT CARE FOR THEIR OPENING ACT.
Awsome. We danced, we clapped, and we left with a smile. What more can you ask. I recommend this show.
Very entertaining performance. I would recommend .
We had an amazing evening of great music from The Blind Boys of Alabama. It was a combination of atmosphere from the Saenger Theatre and truly talented musicians and entertainers. My husband rarely cares about music, but they had him clapping and hollering and enjoying himself. I would recommend attending a Blind Boys event whenever you get a chance.
This was one of the best concerts I have attended at the Saenger in Mobile. I was just so disappointed at the attendance!It seems Mobile and area never support anything . I hope you will have them again!!
I had never seen the Blind Boys perform but they certainly put on a HIGH ENERGY, high impact show! The lead singer, led by his "handler", even went into the audience! The Birchmere was the PERFECT venue for this group! You got to see them up close and personal!
Blind Boys of AL put on quite a show. The music is stirring - you can't help but bounce your legs. The Blind Boys are fun to watch and are really in to their music. The band is very talented and blend in well with the singing. it's an astonishing performance for blind men in their 80s. You leave really, really happy!
