Fantastic concert. They sound better live than on any of their albums. Still high energy !!
Really enjoyed the show - as well as the intimacy of the venue... great to hear the execution of the songs from the band and to hear so many favourites that defined Canadian music in the 70's!
I have seen Lighthouse upward of 25 times since there inception in 1968, and have never been disappointed in there shows.
Really enjoyed the smaller intimate venue Sound was better now than we remembered.....maybe we could just appreciate it more. As most of the crowd was 50+, really great to sit and enjoy the music. Wish we could have danced the entire concert but just happy to hear, see, and sing! Went in knowing we liked Lighthouse but struggled to name 3 songs. We came out after singing every word to at at least 15 songs! Took us back to a simpler, safer, happier time.
Amazing individual talents grooving together in extraordinary jazz/rock fusion. For some followers this might merely be nostalgia but, for most, the vibe remains immediate and now!
The show was fabulous and full of energy! The sound/mixing had some issues and seating is too tight in this venue. Truly enjoyed the evening!
I so enjoyed the band. They sounded fantastic. Great interaction with the crowd.
They sounded just as good as they did in 1970. Hearing them in a small venue was great but at times the brass was just too powerful for the room. That being said, the resonance of the baritone sax, the trombone and the flugelhorn deep in your bones is part of their magic. To say it was an awesome concert would be a great understatement. Skip on drums was definitely missed but his son did a great job. I hope they return to Southern Alberta very soon.
This concert was amazing. The vocals were great, as was the trumpet and sax solos. These guys still have what it takes to perform. the small venue was ideal, up close is the way to go.
This is the second time in the last 10 years that I've been to the Deerfoot Inn to see Lighthouse. They are such a great band!! We had supper first, did a bit of gambling before and after the concert (won a little, lost more)! lol Such a great night!!
