Show was well thought out. Band was tight. I can only imagine what the original BB’s must have been like. I especially liked the tribute to Blues Musicians last and present. Great show. Don’t miss it.
Too loud. I have seen many better shows here. We try all kinds of music at the Cabot.
The Bros played most of the songs from the movie and from the record. They are not as athletic as John and Dan, but tried hard. They seemed tired also, maybe they have been traveling a lot lately and just got off a plane of something. It was my Birthday present to myself (I bought 6 tickets and took my best SD friends. We all had a great time. I am glad they included SD in the Tour!
This was fun and I thought they did a great job. There were a few times where I thought the beat to the music could have been faster and more energetic but I really appreciated how they segued between songs and jokes so smoothly. It was very pleasant and towards the end they got us up on our feet yelling and dancing. The band did great and their characters were well done.
Not quite Akroyd and Belushi, but these guys are definitely worth watching. The musicians are outstanding and the tribute to senior and deceased blues greats was classy and appropriate. If they taught music history in school the way this show educates you, kids might actually listen and learn something from their teachers. Regardless of what Elwood says, its post 2006 and Blues is not just found on the shelves of your local library!
If you ever get the chance see the REAL Blues Brothers, about a year ago Harrah's Resort South put on a great show. Well worth the $ spent (and lost!)
It was a lot of fun! Kept you going and happy the whole time!
We thoroughly enjoyed the Official Blues Brothers show on Saturday night at the M Resort. The music was terrific and they really looked and sounded like the original Blues Brothers (Dan Akroyd and the late John Belushi). We highly recommend seeing it. Great Time!
We loved the show. The intro was fun; the back up band was great and Jake & Elwood...well, they were Jake & Elwood. Of course...I'm A Soul Man, capped it off!!
An Entertaining Show With Great Music! I’m not sure what I was expecting but the show seemed a tad short and Jake Blues has the look but not the same sound. I’d certainly go again because I enjoyed the music that much!
The show and the performers were fantastic. I would recommend to anyone to see this show. They won't be disappointed. The low point was the facility were they performed at. The M Casino makes you think that you are going to some nice theater atmosphere when you are actually in a tent. I would not recommend that anyone go to this facility. the Blues Brother"s should find another place to perform.
These guys put on a great show! The band was great!!!!!!
The show will take you to your happy place! You will sing and dance ! Be prepared for good music and singing!
What a wonderful show just like the movie You must try it for yourself.
First time at the Arden Theatre! (not the last!)... good venue, and good restaurants nearby the free and easy parking! Lots of energy and enthusiasm from the band - good music, and good musicians!
Fun to see the official Blues Brothers Review. The music was excellent and the musicians were technically outstanding. The only suggestion I would offer to some of the performers is to smile more and look more excited when performing.
While there was a lot of talent onstage, it was as if they were all doing their own show. Excellent musicians all, but weirdly disjointed. Sound was so ear-splitting, all that came through the speakers was garbled noise. Big red-flag. I needed liquid fortification so I went to the bar. While there I asked the house manager if they could please lower the sound which they did. In the meantime however, we saw many couples leave and we would have too if the decibel level wasn't turned down as it was physically painful to the ear and of course, we couldn't understand a thing being sung or played. And we're not THAT old. Interestingly enough while leaving, the sound factor seemed to be the topic of conversation among the crowds. As for the actual duo of the Blues Brothers. Was Dan Akroyd having an off-night? He faced the drums upstage more than he did the audience. He sang a couple of solos but mainly wandered the stage doing his little BB two-step and seemingly disconnected from what was going on around him. The saving grace was Jim Belushi who worked like a DOG to make this show work. He did it with terrific flair and a great sense of fun but at least to me, it was as if he was working overtime to compensate for a show that was not tight and lacked chemistry. Maybe in a smaller venue this would have worked but not in the huge theater at the Long Center. Ultimately, we walked out of there extremely disappointed. Kudos to Jim Belushi for his journeyman work ethic and showmanship. He gained a few new fans in us that night.
Wonderful venue, love the Uptown Theatre. The show was entertaining and they played all the favorites from the Blues Brothers movies. Engaged the audience several times, which made it even more fun for everyone. Great band, great music and a wonderful evening. by the end of the evening I forgot they weren't the original Blue''s Brothers. They asked everyone to not record and turn off all electronics and yet some people of course, went ahead and used their phones. It was distracting and no personnel even made an attempt to have them put them down, although they were obvious. Otherwise a very great evening.
The show was all that we expected and more. Lots of energy, great tunes, the band was awesome and of course, the music was great. I would definitely recommend it and would go again.
We left at intermission. Very amateur and way, way, way too loud! Except for heavy metal bands, I've always thought that an excessively loud sound level is used to mask a not very good performance, and that was the case here. Makes me appreciate just how wonderful the genuine Blues Brothers really were!
