Outstanding performance. Excellent side men for Al DiMeola's band. Great to hear the early pieces of music he released on the first few albums...and new music as well.
Very intimate setting. Al was great and he and his band are as good as ever. Worth the drive from Denver.
An outstanding performance by fantastic musicians! The nuances and complexity of Al’s early electric compositions were performed flawlessly in their entirety!
Great rustic barn-like venue with tricky acoustics for electrified music.
Al Di Meola did not disappoint with a mix of 40+ year old classics and newly composed charts.
Coming off of a summer-fall tour in Europe, this was the first gig for a new group of musicians working the "Electric Band Tour". Given the circumstances the 2 hour set was well executed albeit perhaps not as tight as one might see once the 5 piece unit has a chance to work out the arrangement kinks and timing.
Highlight was a 10 minute post-intermission solo, a wonderfully complex acoustic chart with nuances of Beatles cuts mixed in, played by Al seated at center stage.
Most certainly one of the greatest talents on the six-string and flat pick over the last half-century.
The staff were all volunteers , as well as thoughtful and considerate. The venue is surrounded by some incredible views so come a little earlier before a show.
As for Mr Adams just go see him wherever you can.
It was all around wonderful.
Fantastic evening spent with one of the greatest singer songwriters of his generation, in a cool venue with a loving, appreciative audience . Ryan performs not only his own gorgeous songs from a multi-genre, profoundly deep catalogue, accompanied by expert guitar, piano & harmonica playing, but his personal takes on a wide array of covers (Dead Can Dance, The Doors, Smokey Robinson, his list of influences goes on), dazzle with new meaning. On top of this, his hilariously self deprecating, spontaneous sense of humor & gift of standup storytelling is a unique trip. If you’ve never seen Ryan Adams live, just go, the man is a wildly inspired & inspiring genius.
Drew and the Neighbors never disappoint! They always put on a stellar show. Jonah was a pleasant surprise also! Loved his soulful voice.
Great entertaining show. We’re not jazz buffs, but it was a great time and the band was very entertaining.
The absolute pinnacle of technical mastery, group improvisation, and magical weaving of global sonic textures by the absolute masters of their instruments forming a single musical consciousness. Chatauqua is a spectacular venue and sonically flawless.
Tig is fantastic and funny as f*ck. Her spin on her kids and spouse are hysterical. She engaged in audience banter and that was _so_ entertaining! Her piano playing is truly commendable 🤣🤣
2 hours and 10 minute set at 83 years old. He was dancing and jumping around the stage at the end too. Wow.
I love Ozomatli, so good to see and hear you perform. I wish you could've performed longer.
another epic show where every song is played in the key of C….. a bouncy C.
Chautauqua can be so charming. Tonight it was. It was a beautiful late summer evening with the gardens in full bloom and the stars bright overhead. I saw Bela and the Telluride House Band perform My Bluegrass Heart several months ago at the Paramount in Denver. This time, though I was in the front row in that fine Chautauqua venue with its superior acoustics. I had a ball. Sierra Hull was the first artist to come out and she was quickly joined by the rest of the band, with Bela Fleck the final one to walk on stage. Their sound was clear and precise. They performed several numbers from the MGH album with a few traditional bluegrass songs sprinkled in. I had never seen the guitar and fiddle player and they both played their parts expertly and with passion. The audience was attentive and appropriately enthusiastic. Like I said, I had a ball.
It felt like a night with friends. Kenny G is very relaxed and welcoming and the music was perfection
Fantastic show! Highlights were Tether, Lyris’ solo, Love’s Recovery, Emily’s solo of Train Inside and Amy’s solo playing Chuck Will’s Widow.
Even though I paid $48 for a GA ticket, I couldn’t sit anywhere in the middle of the room (only allowed in far outside sections), and there was this whirring sound the whole time (either from a cricket or creaky machinery). José did a great job, playing for about an hour and 15 minutes, but I didn’t care for the venue.
So much energy and fun. Would go again in a heartbeat. Acoustics could have been clearer.
Chautauqua is such a great venue. The band was great. They looked like they really enjoy playing with each other.
The acapella gospel hymn that Andrew, Emily, and Jason sang was unforgettable. Really lovely venue with great sound.
