Toots and the Maytals Tickets

I have seen Toots play several times over the past decade. My previous experience was a few years back. Last night's show was nothing compared to what Toots used to deliver, when he earned the moniker "The James Brown of Reggae". His voice was pretty good at the start, but faded fast. This forced him to play versions of his most memorable songs that were anything but. While it was good to see Mr. Frederick Hibbert on stage one more time, I yearn for the Tootd of old. Alas.

Toots was electric lastnight. He had the whole crowd bopping,dancing and involved in the music. This was one of best lives perfomances I've seen in a long time. I can't wait to see him again.

I had a great time at this show. Loved the atmosphere and the artists. Very laid back, casual venue. Great lineup of local and international artists. Learned about "skankin"! Perfect weather for the day. Vendor selection was weak and food/beverage support was marginal, but considering the semingly light turnout, I can understand why. Was thrilled to see the English Beat and Reel Big Fish for the 1st time.

Great show. Seeing one of my favorite bands live in a small venue like the Surf Club was great. Toots' voice is still as strong and soulful as ever. I haven't been to the Surf Club in 12 years. I like the changes they made. I brought a friend who was on crutches. The staff was great. She got in touch with the club and explained her situation and we got to sit on a nice couch in the V.I.P. section. I think the main guy was Joe Boz ( spelling ? ) and a bouncer named Eric were really helpful. Many thanks, they ( Surf Club Staff ) were a class act. I'll keep an eye out for shows there and would go back.

I didnt know many of the bands that performed, with the exception of Jah Works and the English Beat, but I think it was a real stretch to call this music Reggae... The music was fine for what it was, but I felt mislead by the title: Reggae on the Harbor... Sure there were reggae rhythms, but it felt like a hodge podge of wanna be reggae artists. Dissapointed

Everything about this show was fantastic. The venue. The music. The drink prices. Toots was better than I imagined.

That was an amazing show. It was my second show at the water st music hall, I saw Buddy Guy there last year which was amazing too. Toots tore the house down. If you have the chance to see him and his amazing band, the Maytals you should.

I went to the show at Water Street to see Toots and the Maytals for the 4th time. I thought he was amazing, probably the best I have seen him yet. The band seemed really tight...the energy was full and the crowd was groovin...I will see him with out a doubt the next time he passes through again.

Amazing is all I can say. At age 65, Toots still has his dance moves and voice.

What can I say... Toots and the Maytals are the only group I will see live in concert! So much fun! He's the best!

The show was fantastic! I've never been to a concert at the zoo before and it was such a fun experience - my husband and I will make a point to make it to at least one show every year now. The sound was great, the size of the crowd was perfect, and I don't think there was a bad seat in the house.

Loved the music and the venue. Would definitely go again!

As usual, Toots and the Maytals did not disappoint! Their vibrant, energy filled and crowd pleasing set had the entire crowd singing and dancing all night long. Hope they return to Minnesota soon.

Excellent show by a true classic Reggae artist !! Toots always gets the audience moving !! The Minnesota Zoo Venue is a great spot to see a show since it is small & all seats are close enough to see the performers. Start up band (Wain Mcfarlane & Ipso Facto) were also great to see again.

As solid a reggae gets...this man and his band have great energy, and the show went by way too fast for 2 hours of amazing music. Wont miss them again when they come to town.

This was the best concert I was at in a long time. Toots was super. He played a lot of his old favorites, and he got the audience excited from the start. He keep the crowd involved for the entire show. It was a great experience. For reaching people at the roots level, reggae is the best. To paraphrase Bob Marley, Reggae is earth music, it's in touch with the rhythm of the earth.

Everything that we expected and more. We love this venue.

Excellent show! If Toots comes, you gotta go! Toots is true classic reggae.

Toots rocked the zoo with a very up-tempo show. From the beginning (Pressure Drop) to the end (54-46 That's My Number), it was a greatest hits show with a very solid backing band.

Toots was awesome. The entire crowd stood up and danced the whole show. His voice was right on and his band was tight.
