Bruce Cockburn Tickets

The sound was fantastic! The sight lines to our balcony seats was perfect (no obstructions or people's heads). Getting out after the show was on the slow side, but it gave time for the parking to mostly clear. The only downside had nothing to do with the show, it was an extremely slow parking payment method across the street...............built up a long line as the machine seemed to be having issues processing with everybody. Oh, and the price of water is too much.

It was fantastic to see Bruce again. Was quit shocked to see him come on with a hunched back and walking with a cane. As always Bruce performed with the mastery that I think he has become known for. His set choice was great mixing old with new. His guitar work was as always powerful and precise. His voice is as powerful as always and he still has great range. Overall it was as always a great show and we hope to see him again .

His mastery of the guitar is remarkable. We were all mesmerized by his skills with all three instruments he used. At times he played accompaniment to the reverb he initiated by touching a foot pedal. We all felt so lucky to be there, as, after all, he is now well into his 70’s.

It was great to experience BC in concert again. Usually at a concert I tolerate a performers newer music, but really come for his more familiar songs. But I was pleasantly surprised to find myself deeply moved by songs from BC’s upcoming album, especially “Orders”, a call to universal love.

I've seen Bruce Cockburn in concert 5-6 times now and this particular performance happens to be one of his best, imo, of the times that I have seen him! He seemed to be more at ease and his voice sounded great from the first song unto the last and his guitar playing is still quite good, being that he has a unique finger style approach to his Music and Bruce just nails that every time! I happened to have acquired a great seat/view in the venue and am extremely pleased about the whole concert setting and performance that evening!

Despite some physical frailty given his age, Bruce delivered his classics and some new songs with a strong voice and masterful guitar playing. It was a wonderful evening.

Wonderful to sit with such a great Canadian artist and listen to his tapestry of songs.

An excellent evening with a true legend. Cockburn is a (thoroughly) seasoned songwriter, singer, guitarist, and his music has been the soundtrack for many of our lives. The audio was amazing; the view even from the balcony was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful at the BC theatre. The only downside is that the seats are so cramped it's physically uncomfortable to sit in them for 2+ hours.

Bruce put on an amazing show the venue was good as always and the crowd was attentive and appreciative. Much better experience than our previous where am appreciative crowd turned ugly after an afternoon in an attached beer garden attached to the concert hall, even the performer Steve Earl was disgusted. Bruce Cockburn was a wonderful. experience.

Bruce was great. Excellent performance. However, our end seats were to side, under the lighting that remained on throughout the concert. They should be dimmed some !

Great concert in a great venue! Good variety of new and golden oldies.

Start to finish, just a great show. Despite his age, he gave us a full two sets and encore. His guitar work is as amazing as ever, and his voice is still strong and accurate. Plus he casually added in the benefit of his life experience, from as far back as 1965. And he has now written a book of his life; I'll be picking that up soon. It was entirely a one-man show, and it couldn't have been better even with a full orchestra. His songs are always polished to perfection, and he is still, arguably, the world's best guitarist, so there was nothing lacking with just one man and his guitar and a minimum of electronic gear. Actually, it was three acoustic guitars, just the minimum set for all his material: a six-string, a 12-string, and a resonator. It was billed as "an evening with Bruce Cockburn" and that's precisely what is was. I wasn't sure how it would go at first, because he walks a bit slow, and he is sporting the full "Father Christmas" look with white hair and a spectacular well-clipped white beard. But he dispelled any concerns the instant he started playing. He was just as note-perfect and competent as ever, to the final bow. In fact he revealed that he has just recorded a new album, to be released in the coming weeks. He played us some of the new songs and they are fantastic. It's not the work of an old man wrapping up his career, it's every bit as fresh as his early career. I'll definitely get it as soon as it is released. The night was a smooth mix of his songs from the sixties up to the present day, skilfully combined and performed to perfection. Between songs, he had us hanging on every word. He established a great connection with the audience, responding to all the questions and comments, and even getting us singing some of the choruses. I was lucky enough to have a seat in the 6th row of the centre orchestra, and it felt like he was in my living room. The sound and acoustics were perfect and the house sound techs gave him just what he needed on his monitors whenever he asked. Working entirely alone for the entire show, he was (as usual) jaw-dropping amazing. I've been following his work and playing his albums since the very start, in the 60's, and became a fan all over again. Time to dust off those old LP's ...

Celebrating 50+ years in the music industry, but still as potent and relevant today as he ever was! Bruce Cockburn ran thru some of his seminal works and radio classics, as well as a few new songs. His playing was tight and his voice was as strong as ever. What an engaging performance! Loved it!!

We were in the dress circle, but had a great view of the stage, if a little distant! Bruce played for one hour, then took a break for 30 minutes, then played for another hour. The first set was mostly newer stuff, the second old favourites. He is still a great guitar player and singer, although his voice did " break" a few times. All considered, a good experience... although he is looking pretty old these days, amazing he is still able to perform. Great venue too.

Delayed 3 years by Covid ,Bruce Cockburn is on his 50th Anniversary Tour. Although he has slowed down a little by health issues his solo act, 3 guitars by his side was solid. Bruce told stories, engaged in warm banter with an appreciative audience and in 2 sets played songs old and new. The acoustic version of Lovers in a Dangerous time and A Tree falls in the Forest were highlights for me. The audience joyfully sang along to "wonderin where the Lions are," the atmosphere felt like you were sitting with an old friend. There was a 2 song encore in response to a lengthy standing ovation for which Bruce was appreciative. It felt a bit like a goodbye tour, so see him while you can, the man is a Canadian legend.

Just Bruce and his custom Manzer acoustic guitars. No backing required. He created a space filled with warmth, depth, and light humor which kept us engaged the whole time. Our seats gave us a good view of his brilliant guitar playing. He used a 12 string, a couple of 6 strings, chimes, and a dobro. He can still sing, unlike many artists his age. His poetry was as deep and meaningful as ever, and he presented material that touched on social, political, spiritual, environmental, and the human condition. He included a few songs from his upcoming album which will be released in a couple of months. Can't wait. The sets seemed short to me, but the sound was well engineered and the venue was comfortable.

Bruce noted that this particular tour is one based on the pre-pandemic celebration of the 50 Anniversary of Bruce's 1st Album. The celebration was preempted because of the pandemic, however; on Saturday night it was a celebration of Bruce and his contribution to Canada's discophrophy. From the familiar to the new Bruce presented his unique understanding of music, social commentary and feeling. It was shouted out, " Bruce we love you!" By the audience and truly it was of love for Bruce.

Wow, for a 77 yr old he has a remarkably strong voice, and the dexterity from his 30'shas not left him. I still consider him the bard of my generation. Sometimes funny, always poetic and very often prophetic in reflecting some of the big misgivings of our culture. Thoughts of eternity never far away. Thanks for the journey and I sights Bruce. From a multidecade fan.

Bruce looked a little frail coming on stage, but as soon as he started playing and singing, you realize he's just as talented as he was 30 years ago. It was just him and a (one of three) guitar, but the sound was powerful. He did a great mix of old hits and introducing new songs, finishing with a new number, going against Show Bis Wisdom (an oxymoron, he said). Impressive for a 77 year old!

We really enjoyed his enthusiastic following, and the way he included and interacted with the audience. Not to mention what a voice at his age, so inspiring. Keep it up Bruce!
