The Three Dog Night concert at OC Fair was short and sweet. I would like to hear additional songs they wrote, but other musicians made popular. Great music. Great listening. Overall I had a Great Time! I will definitely see Three Dog Night again.
The show was great. Three Dog Night knew the demographics of their audience (unlike Stever Miller who I saw and could have cared less) and !played all of their hits from the 70's. The band was tight, well rehersed, vocals excellent and just plain entertaining. The one downside was that the show was due to start at 8:00 sharp and I think that they came on stage at about 8:20. Curfew at the Pacific Ampitheatre is 9:30, so the show was just a bit over one hour. The tickets were $12.50 each-so I am not complaining. If you are a fan of this band, it is a "for sure"
I thought Three Dog Night was ok. None of the songs rocked me out of my seat though. They came out late and didn't play one of my favorite songs "Eli's coming". The reason I went was because I enjoyed them 35 years ago. I'm not sure if I would pay to see them again.
Three Dog Night was right on cue. They were faultess musically. They talked to the audience and were even amusing in their reminiscing about when the songs were originally written and released. They commented that a fan once told them that "Mama Told Me Not To Come" was the original Rap song, and then inserted a Rap portion in the middle. Very amusing. Too bad the venue is so strict about the time limit of the show, it was too short. I am certain they had more than a few more songs they would have performed. Sadly, the only missing component was Chuck Negron, whose voice was such a huge part of their signature sound.
I (44) took my boyfriend (38)... he had never followed Three Dog Night. We also went with my brother (50) and my niece (13). We ALL had a great time. Crowd went crazy at Joy to the World. I loved hearing "Black and White" as well as "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song"... brought back memories. Had great seats. Love seeing shows at the Fair... Keep the talent coming to the OC!
Loved seeing Three Dog Night. They were awesome. It was a fun night.
Because I was too poor to ever go to concerts when I was younger, I am glad I am now able to enjoy a live performance of the songs/groups of my youth! (The "rap" was a HOOT! ) Although we have all changed from the 60s and 70s, many of Three Dog Night's lyrics still are relevant. One is still a lonely number! I just had my 25th wedding anniversary and am very thankful I am not a just a "one'. And Mom is still right about those parties and I'm very proud that my two twenty year old boys know it!! I'm also glad to see that black and whites both can sit in the same schools. There is still some trouble between blacks and whites, but definitely not like the 60s and 70s. (We even have our first black president!)
Great concert. They still got it. Wish they played Pieces of April!
Enjoyed the show and the venue. Show was short, due to cerfew imposed by ???
Three Dog Night was outstanding as usual. I love their harmony, as did everyone else. I don't regret the 70-mile trip we made to see them. It was a packed house.
Sound man was a bit off for the first few songs but they got it together and they sounded great. Big fun was had by all. Us old folks can still have a good time rockin!!!
It was a very good show. Their voices were strong and clear and the venue is great. They did quite a few songs that the crowd sang along with and also told some stories about the songs. All in all, a great evening out.
When my wife and I were first dating we went to our first concert to see Steppenwolf at the Sacramento Municipal Auditorium in Aug/Sept (?) 1968 and Three Dog Night was the opening act. While their name was on the ticket nobody knew what it meant or who they were. Boy did they know afterward. We all absolutely went nuts and when John Kay and Steppenwolf came out everyone boo'd them and started chanting to bring back Three Dog Night. That was 41 years ago and we loved listening to some of the songs they played that night as well as others we loved throughout their career. We have always been big fans since that first concert and we still are. We love their harmonies and style I'm so glad that they are still together and bringing out a new album. Best of luck to them. Keep it up!!
Band was great. Speakers sound not so great. Liked the variety of songs.
I looked around at the crowd who filled The Pacific Amphitheatre and tried to imagine what these boomers looked like as teens like me when they first listened to Three Dog Night some 40 years ago. It seemed to me that many people were doing the same thing! Once the music started, it seemed like four decades of weight was lifted from our collective shoulders for a time. Three Dog Night still sounds amazing! They need no pyrotechnics, gyrating dancers, or sets crafted by NASA to do their stuff. They have awesome voices that seem even stronger with time and their band members draw amazing music from their instruments. We heard beloved hits, not so familiar tunes, and new material that show that one of our favorite bands is still alive and kicking! Loved the rap version of "Momma Told Me Not to Come." This band has personality to spare! Three Dog Night finished with "Joy to the World" like we knew they would! Some of the lyrics to that song sound silly but the refrain is a wish for planet Earth: "Joy to the world, all the boys and girls. Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea. Joy to you and me."
Good memories, fun music. could have kept out some of the bands favorites that did not make it... there is a reason these songs did not make it -- and make room for some of the favorites that were left out. Cute attempts at rap music and acknowledging age.
I left with a smile on my face happy and well rewarded for the awful corndog I had for dinner trying to get to my seat on time. They were funny and entertaining and the music was absolutely transporting.
I grew up listening to Three Dog Night, but had never seen them in concert until now. That was the best birthday I could have ever had!!!!! I would definetly go see them again!!!!
They gave a lively and energetic performance. It was fun to hear the oldies, but more fun to hear some of the history behind their less famous songs. Had a great time.
Much too slow for my taste. Nobody got up to Dance until about an hour into the show.
