i loved the show ... was a great night out.... wish there was more of the whole band then the trio but totally understand why... love all the comedy that happened between the songs too ..
I was very glad that the Crash Test Dummies were able to reunite, with the entire lineup, for this one special night. As mentioned, it's been at least a decade. My favorite songs were some of the older numbers that included all the band members. I was also pleased that Ellen Reid sang lead vocals on a couple of numbers. She's an engaging performer. However, Brad Roberts is still my fave. The whole evening was awesome. Both Brad and Ellen sound better than ever. And Brad's a pretty frisky fella! Hairy back and all!! *LOL*
It was great to see the Crash Test Dummies all together again. When the whole band played it was magic. When they broke into a group of three the songs were good , but if they would have had the drummer and keyboard as back up they would have more stage presents and power. If they would get the whole band together again, I could see the Crash Test Dummies climbing the charts again.
They played all my favorite songs and the jokes told between songs were helarious!
Being my first CTD concert, growing up listening to their music, and now seeing them live was quite incredible. Having not played together as a full band for almost a decade, they performed like they had been playing together for the past decade. Brad's voice was bang on, along side what seems to be Ellen Reid at her best (even though she's been stellar her entire career). Brad brought a great sense of humour to the show in between songs, and his brother Dan on bass, and Mitch Dorge on Drums, added a tight rhythm section to classic songs like the opening 'The Ghosts that haunt me" followed by a mellowed version of God Shuffled His Feet. New additions to the reunion were keyboard and accordian player Rob Morsberger, from New York, who filled the instrumental parts of multi-intstrumentalist, and MIA that night, Ben Darvill. As well as Doc Walker guitarist, Murray Pulver, who added great back up vocals as well as beautifully played guitar riffs The whole night was amazing, and everyone in Winnipeg who came out for this show, left with a big smile on their faces! Crash Test Dummies are back, and Brad's new album under the same name is as beautiful as the self titled single itself!
We took our grown children to the Crash Test Dummies, none of us really knowing what to expect. Each of us knew a few songs, some more than others, but none expected to thoroughly enjoy the show as much as we did.Brad's beautifully deep, rich voice is absolutely mesmorizing. His sense of humour was very refreshing. It was nice to be at a concert where you felt that you were experiencing something truly special. The guitarist was spectacular and the rich harmonies were very beautiful! It was an amazing show that left us all wanting more!
The Winnipeg show featured the reunion of the full band so was a little different than the current tour. A solid night of hits and new material that ended too soon!
This concert was fantastic from beginning to end. The acoustics in the Burt were awesome. A great mix of older and newer material. Both Brad and Ellen's voices were unbelievable. It' s too bad the venue is in such disrepair . Come on Winnipeg , let's fix up the joint into something we can be proud of! Murray Pulver was incredible!
Best concert in a long time. Ellen, Mark and Brad in the raw. Perfect venue and appreciative crowd made it a great night.
This was my first time at this theatre and it was wonderful! The Dummies were absolutely amazing! Couldn't have been more intimate or better!
Brad Roberts was amazing and that includes Ellen too. Brad's sense of humour and of course his voice was unbelievable. We now own the CD and have listened to it over and over. Job well done! We laughed and just had a wonderful time at the show. Thank you for coming to Vancouver.
It was an amazing intimite concert experience. Just then doing what they do best. No fancy stage or lighting. Not even a drummer. One guitar and three microphones. He was a little stoned I think and forgot the words to the songs at a couple of spots but Brad Roberts on stage performance was great and funny. I was a very entertaining evening. They had a great sense of humor and are totally under standing of where they are as a band right now. Loved every moment.
Quite a nice show. Hilarious and a bit nostalgic at the same time.
They sang all my favorites and some new ones too. Ellen Reid has such a beautiful voice which she got to show off on a few solos. Murray Pulver filled the room with his amazing guitar work to which the Brad Roberts sang in that fantastic bass-baritone voice of his. WOW. It was just the three of them with nothing but Murray's accoustic guitar and they were awesome. Who knew that was all you really needed to knock the socks off the audience to a standing ovation at the end.
fantastic show. great sound and venue. small venue made for more intimate concert which was delivered.
Brad Roberts is quite a talented writer and is also VERY funny. He and Ellen still have serious chops showing great range. This was a very enjoyable show.
It was a fun night. I would have preferred a full band, as opposed to the single acoustic guitar but the quality of the guitarist, who was excellent, and the strength of the vocals made it sound like a full production. Great mix of old hits and new songs. Brad is very funny.
A must see for those who remember blasting their songs in the '90s while trying their damndest to sing even half the baritone notes of Brad Roberts. Great sound, hilarious interim jokes, comfortable relaxed atmosphere. Three thumbs up!
Thoroughly enjoyed the show. The opening act definately fit the mood ... good match. At first we were a little disappointed to see such a bare stage but both of us can fully appreciate the difference in this type of performance versus having the full band behind you to lighten the load. No band required ... the guitarist was fantastc as were the distinct vocals! The performance moved along with laughter, memorable tunes, and a tasty sample of what's to come. Looking forward to the recording.
At first the guitar was a little loud and Brad Roberts soft. It soon evened out. Murray Pulver the C & W guitarist of the year and album producer was awesome. He worked to showcase Brad and Ellen's vocals and did so beautifully. It was a real treat.
