Fantastic Show. Great blues and rocking blues at its finest. A great mix of a classic elder mixed with the enthusiastic guitar playing of a younger KWS. tight band and sounded wonderful! The Fox in Riverside was a nice venue as well.
Went to the concert because of Stephen. I have been going to concerts to see him for over 40 years regardless of who his band mates were. I was not familiar with Kenny Wayne before discovering this band. I have to say that I was really impressed with his guitar playing and vocal range. The show as outstanding and I will go see Kenny when he is in concert. This venue is about 50 miles from where I live but I love The Fox riverside. Great place to see a concert. % Star show. Outstanding
One of the best shows I have ever seen. We'll see them Again.
though i like all three frontmen, the addition of mccormick and chris layton is perfect. their setlist could have been extended a bit. the sound esp kennys was a little on the louder or prominent than steves that could be balanced.
Great show, and venue. Kenny Wayne is amazing ! Even better live then recorded.
The Rides were fantastic. I have new respect for Kenny Wayne and the rest of the band. They are comfortable with each other and well jelled. The synergy between Stills and Shepard is classic. They play off of each other, the rhythm section is cohesive and driving. Goldberg makes a Roland sound like a Hammond B3. Don't miss them.
This is the "SUPER GROUP" of the 21st Century! If anyone did not have a GREAT time, I feel for them. I hope to see the RIDES again. If not would love to see Stephen with Buffalo Spring, CSNY or as Stephen Stills. Also, Kenny Wayne and Barry. This group of talent is over the TOP>
Kenny Wayne Shepard carried the show. His guitar riffs were immaculate, and he understood that force was needed. His voice never diminished. Stephen Stills was in voice at the early part of the show but weakened after half of the show. All in all, it was a great show. I won't forget it. I immediately went out and bought the MP3.
Wow - this is the show to see this summer. Any one of these muscians individually could easily sell out a venue, so getting to see them together as a band is a gift. So much amazing talent on one stage, including the legendary blues drummer, Chris Layton. Stephen Stills is still rockin' it. Kenny Wayne Shepherd just shredded on guitar and it's easy to see why Barry Goldberg is sought after as a keyboard musician. Bravo!
stills voice didn't always hold up, and he had a habit of being too far away from the mic so you couldn't hear him, BUT the guitar playing between Mr Stills and Kenny Wayne Sheppard was GREAT !!! especially KWS sound quality was real good then the inexplicable decision was made during the last 2 songs of encore to crank it up to the point where everything sounded off key, thought about leaving did I get my moneys worth, yeah I think so , would I come again, maybe loved KWS and the guitar playing was great but the encore was poor
I saw The Rides on their first tour a few years ago. They were great then and even better this time around. Excellent professional musicians and they put on a Great show. Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Barry Goldberg are simply amazing. The different tones of Stephen and Kenny's guitars mesh so well as they play together and "speak" to each other during solos. Barry Goldberg is amazing with wonderful solos. Chris Layton and Kevin McCormick produce a back beat that is flawless. Even with all the wonderful music, the icing on the cake was you could tell all five artists were having a truly Fun time.
what a band and what a sound! if you want to see and hear some of the best guitarists left in rock and roll don;t miss this band.then add to it one of the best keyboard musicians you got the "rides"!! best concert we've seen in 30 yrs.the talking stick a great venue to see bands at.accoustics and sound was very good along with seating.we had a blast.
The Rides put on a great show last week. Good music obviously but also really great to see highly skilled individuals work so well and cooperatively as a team/band. Very refreshing to see the respect they have for each other.
Stephen Stills (An all time favorite of mine since the days of Buffalo Springfield), Kenny Wayne Shepherd (Pure Music Genius) and Barry Goldberg (Tickles the ivories better than most) not only lived up to my expectations but far exceeded them. It was an evening of soul touching music in many ways and I would not hesitate to pay the more than reasonable price that they charged to be in the audience many times over. The venue that they played in which was the historic Balboa Theater located next to Horton Plaza in downtown San Diego has excellent acoustics, fantastic seating and an ambience that is very appealing.
Excellent performance Group was tight Kenny Wayne nailed it and can play with the best Stephen stills ROCKS
So much better than a CSN show. This trio kicks ass! Steven Stills knows how to rock and the rest of the band are no slouches.
Hall of fame several times overs. Hopefully they fix their errors on their misses. Nothing better than great musicians loving what they do.
The concert given by Stephen Stills and The Rides on June 1st was the best I have seen in many years. I bought the tickets as soon as I heard about the event, concerned it would sell out. To my surprise, there were still tickets available the evening of the event! Obviously "the word" about this group has not yet gotten out. Although their albums are a joy to listen to at home and in the car, their live performance is something not to miss. I hope to see them again soon and have recommended this group to all the music lovers I know.
Loved seeing Stephen Stills, my first rock and roll love. KWS was wonderful, too; and Barry Goldberg fantastic on keyboard. I did not have much prior experience with The Rides, but I will now keep tuned in. I was only slightly disappointed that we didn't hear more of the each individual's former work. It would have been a great night to hear SS perform Black Queen or Go Back Home and KWS perform Voodoo Child--three of my favorite all time tunes.
The concert was fantastic especially KWS. His playing was awesome. SS is getting older and sometimes struggled to hit the notes both on the guitar and singing. Still one of my all time favorites though. The meet and greet was a disappointment. They all seemed disinterested and like they didn't want to be there. If that's the case then don't do it. It did get me great tickets to the concert and a nice picture but they didn't really even make eye contact with anyone. First time I've done one of those and will probably be the last. Stills was particularly surly. Bottom line is great show, great venue. One last thing is the could have played longer.
