Frank Mills would have been worth the price of the ticket. Enjoyed his stories and mostly enjoyed his music. He played "Music Box Dancer" twice - once solo and once with the back up band. Would gladly purchase tickets to see Mr. Mills if he were to stay 'out' of retirement and visit Edmonton again in the future. Thank you Mr. Mills for a very enjoyable evening.
Rita was somewhat off with lots of her music notes this time.
It was surely a good thing that Frank Mills was there to save the day. I used to love Rita, but sadly I can't get the memory of this performance out of my mind. It is time for Rita to hang her microphone up!
Very disappointed. We came to here Rita. I have never seen her live before, but the quality of her voice is no where near the CDS that we have enjoyed. Without Frank Mills the concert would be a total flop. Not impressed however with his so called jokes.
We were very disappointed with Rita's performance on Sunday, Dec 16 2012 in Calgary. Often she sang off key, singing was choppy because she couldn't hold the notes. She seemed very short of breath. The mic setting was too loud. Rita's band was good. Frank Mills saved the night. He can make the piano dance!! It was absolutely wonderful to hear him play - and we'd have enjoyed it even more if he'd told a few less stories, and played more songs.
While I did get bored at the beginning, at how long Rita MacNeil performed.....I was ecstatic when Frank Mills appeared. The rest of the concert after Frank made his appearance, was excellent.
Didn`t have much Christmas music. Enjoyed Frank Mills a lot. Rita MacNeil was just ok. Was a bit disappointed over all
was billed as a christmas concert but had very litle holiday music. we finally left as did many other people before event was comlete.
I love listening to Rita MacNeil sing. She sings from the soul and makes you feel at home. This year Frank Mill joined Rita and was personable and a wonderful pianist who accompanied Rita and shared performance time. Rita's band was excellent, had lots of energy and I thoroughly enjoyed the song choices. My only regret which has nothing to do with the performance was several attendees came late and interrupted the musical moments when trying to find their seats in the dark, chatting and moving across the seats. People need to be courteous and come early or at least be on time!
I am not an avid Rita fan, but did think that because it was with Frank Mills and billed as a Christmas show it would be a nice evening out with my wife. Frank Mills was very good and I we enjoyed that part of the concert very much. Rita's band was very good as well. The only problem I found was with Rita's style of singing. She seemed to be sliding into the notes and for me, it felt that she was off key most of the night. Her stories were good and she is quite witty.Perhaps they could have turned her mic down a little as well as her voice could easily over power the band. All in all, not a bad evening.
Rita MacNeil and Frank Mills were great together. Their solo performances and the combination of the two with 'the band' made for a very pleasant evening. Especially liked the drumming during the Huron Carol. Rita- you are a legend. Frank- your fingers are magic.
My husband and I enjoyed the show. We enjoy it each year. It is exciting to see who Rita chooses for special guests will be each year. We really enjoyed the Von Trapp Children. It was a great show. Nice touch for the Christmas Season!!! Keep coming to Hamilton ... Rita we enjoy your show!!
The additon of the Von Trapp children with Rita was spectacular. Rita 's style of presentation was so relaxing and created such a soothing atmosphere. The pacing of songs by her and other entertainment was great.
Rita's performance was awesome, she is one classy lady. She can still hit those high notes like the best The Von Trapp children were a perfect mix to add to Rita's show
What a great performance by both Rita and the Von Trapp children. The music, their voices were super. What an outstanding show. Can't wait to go again next year!
I couldn't tell if it was Rita's microphone, or her voice. She seemed to trail off then come back deep and husky... Rita MacNeil is a Canadian staple. The Von Trapp great grandchildren sang in perfect harmony and were lovely to hear and see. The costumes worn by the women that were originally Maria Von Trapp's... added to the flavour of the afternoon. Didn't put me in the mood for Christmas.. but was still very glad to have gone.
This was an excellent show. Rita was excellent and the Von Trapp Children were a real pleasure to listen to. Great way to start the holidays.
Although it seemed that Rita was not maybe enjoying herself, perhaps not feeling well, the show was great. I had never heard the Von Trapps family and enjoyed them very much ! I listened to Rita's Christmas music with my late mother and both of our favorites was Silent Night which she did !
No words can explain how wonderful it is to enjoy both Rita McNeil and the Von trapp Children in a single show. This was a night to remember for a lifetime!
Really got you in the Christmas spirit. Loved hearing Rita's stories and songs. She is very talented. Her band was also amazing. the Von Trap Children were great. They brought back many memories with their songs and stories. Each one has an increadible voice. We all in my party enjoyed the concert and were very glad we were able to attend. the two hour drive was worth it.
