exellent show had a really good time would go see them again in a heartbeat
Three Dog Night was wonderful. It was nice to hear all their great songs. Penn's Peak is in a beautiful location on top of the mountain. It was like getting two wonderful shows for the price of one.
They were good, however, we all thought it was a little too short. It was only an hour long, with no intermission. When they performed what was their last song as it turned out, we thought they would come back out. But all in all a good concert.
My husband and I enjoyed this concert so much. They sounded just like they did in the early 70's. What an enjoyable night. Penn's Peak is also a great place to watch a concert. Great job! Only disappointment is that they didn't do "eli's Coming"..
Loved the concert but felt cheated out of a lot of their hit songs. Music only lasted 75 minutes. They had a great sound and everyone was excellent.
A really great show at a wonderful venue. The Wharf Amphitheater is a little out of the way in Orange Beach but the drive was worth it. The band played almost all their hits leaving out only Eli's Coming for some reason. Even without Chuck Negron they still sound great with only a new drummer and bass player replacing original members. Only other downer was the lack of merchandise, ie t-shirts but the show itself was excellent. I'd definately recommend seeing them if you have the chance.
I really enjoyed the concert, the guys can definitely still ROCK IT!!! Enjoyed the Ampitheater atmosphere as well. Three Dog Night was the first concert I ever attended, my older sister took me to see them. She knew that " Jeramiah was a bullfrog" was my favorite song and the first one I could sing word for word.
What a show! Brought back lots of memories... Took my Mom,friend,niece and nephew (they were 8 and 10 yrs. old their first concert). We all had a great time... The Wharf is a great venue to see a concert!
Enjoyed seeing Three Dog Night for the second time. The first was 35 years ago so this was such a treat to hear all the songs I loved back in high school. The new "rap" version of Mama Told Me Not to Come was proof that some old dogs can learn new tricks.
3 Dog Night was a good show but not great. Big fans of the band would probably enjoy. I think they miss the vocals of Chuck Negron who is no longer with the band. America was the opening act and I thought they were great!
Love seeing the older bands. Especially "America". And the Amphitheater at The Wharf is a great venue. The only thing I have that is negative was the time it took to reset between bands.....long. But would go again and actually I am going to the Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, John Mellancamp concert in a couple weeks....can't wait.
enjoyed 2 major talents from " back in the day " - America and Three Dog Night at an outdoor amphitheater ! Time may not have stood still for any of us but the music quality remains and so does the enjoyment ! It was also great to see families sharing the music with their children ! May we all continue to rock on !
Not only were the acoustics in the arena lacking(unbalanced), the singers were off-key and too loud. The speakers actually distorted the music because it was too loud. I used to love seeing this group, but now I will only rely on my memories of past performances. This one was a major disappointment.
I was not even a fan of theirs, but this concert made me a fan. Our group of six concert goers had a fabulous time. They were so funny! Their voices are amazing. The seating was great, and so was the sound quality. They looked great and they sounded amazing!
Saw "America" then "Three Dog Night", both bands sounded Great ! Sometimes with the bands of these eras the singers voices don`t have the same punch as before; but not these guys.
I had always wanted to see Three Dog Night Live since I first heard them back in the early 70's. My cousin Ernie who was in High School had a VW with an eight track tape player in it at our Grandmother's house and he had Three Dog Night playing ( Mother Told Me Not To Come) and I was hooked. I was around 13 or so and I am 50 now so I had to wait a long time to see them but it was worth the wait. I would have given them 5 stars but with Chuck missing I had to take a star off. Other than that it was a great show. America were also very good. Thanks, Caveman50
I was great to here thoughs song from long ago. It was more like a sing along. everyone knew all the words. though they are missing one dog and are really two dog night, the manage to pull it off! they really don't miss a beat
Three Dog Night was in great form for this concert. They played all of their hits, some with new arrangements. "Mama Told Me Not To Come" done as a rap was quite entertaining. I was not at all disappointed with the concert. America as the lead-in act was also awesome!
I saw 3 Dog Night with my family and was thoroughly impressed with the overall showmanship. Growing up as a 3 Dog Night fan in the late 60's early 70's it was nice to hear and see that the talent was still alive and well and to hear those timeless songs I grew up with live. This was also our 10 year old son's first major concert to see and he loved it! A great show with reasonable ticket prices I hope to see many more of these classic acts perform live in the future!
I brought my wife with me for her first trip to the Wharf and man did i do good. We both thought that the show didnt miss a beat at all from all the years that have passed since Three Dog Night came on the scene. I remember listeing to them as a youngster with my mom who is only 14 yrs my senior and even remember her going to see them when they still had all their hair. The show is well worth the time and effort and with America opening for them (which I was not aware of till I got my tickets) it turned out even better than I could have imagined. Everyone and their kids should go and see this band.
