Steve Earle Tickets

Love his songs. He’s losing his voice so power and clarity not quite there. I think I would have preferred he play with a band. Copperhead road was not the same solo. His stories are great. Still a good evening.

The voice was a bit raspier this time, Steve filled us in on how the wild fires smoke impacted him personally and was apologetic-no apologies needed this artist is fabulous even with a raspy voice. The show went on never missing a beat. His voice simply added a new depth to the songs he chose. The stories shared, tributes to his mentors are always loved. His tribute to Justin Townes had us join in on the chorus to Harlem River Blues and we all sang with our hearts. Raspy voice or not he was there for our calls of one more. An absolutely fabulous artist that still loves his job. I patiently wait yearly for the news he is once again coming to town . I’ve been to many of his concerts and hope that I have opportunity to attend many many more. No fancy lights simply pure absolutely fabulous talent. Thank you Steve Earle.

Steve is one of the greatest singers ever in my opinion. There is a time like Simon and Garfunkal did many years ago when you cant do it anymore you should give it up. Steves voice is just a shadow of what it was once. Just cant do it anymore. Gave it a 3 because I really like the guy but would not recommend to anyone

I can’t count how many times I have seen Steve Earle since 1989. It’s always a great show, and I know I will be waiting for the next one. Staff at The Burt are friendly, professional and the crews are always well organized Only downside was lack of artist merch. When we went in there were many sizes sold out and as we exited there was not a crumb of merch left. I understand that it was the end of the tour, but shows I have been going to lately have had huge lineups at the merch tables. I saw so many fans wearing gear purchased previous shows, so I know there was a missed opportunity for sales. Two shirts by me anyway.

Such a pleasure to see Steve Earle, what a talented musician and storyteller. Steve also brought to us some of the music of his incredibly talented son Justin Townes Earle and we listened to his music, as well as Steve’s on our 8 hour drive home! It was a great trip.. Thanks Steve for remembering to come see us here in the Great White North!

Was great had amazing time Steve rocks ! At that age to do a 2 hour set by himself just amazing guy still has the spark great entertainer great stories between set

I had a memorial experience at the concert sang the song that I listen to when all my life copperhead road

Steve earl is can still play with the best of them

It would probably have been better if he had an accompanying band - probably would have had more "pizzaz"in the performance.

Saw the amazing Steve Earle 35 years ago a year before we were married in 1990. I was already a huge fan, as a CKUA listener and early devoted Edmonton Folk Fest attendee. I invited my then-boyfriend (now husband) as a bit of a test, which obviously he passed, though I had a moment of doubt when he hesitated joining the line-up, and commented on the "tough crowd,"I guess referring to people with tattoos and possibly wearing biker colours. Oblivious and already star-struck at the idea of being in Steve's presence, I gushed something like, "yeah, isn't it great!"Still felt the same way with our seats in row 9 to the right of the stage at River Cree. Our experience is this is often a pretty raw crowd; there seem to be a lot of comps at this venue, and it is at a casino, with bar service at both ends of the venue, so let's just say people aren't always as dedicated to the performance as they might be at a more controlled, staid location. That said, even prepared, it was a raucous crowd, more inebriated than I'd seen at several previous shows, packing back the hiballs and calling for Copperhead Road before the first few warm-up songs. Steve, no doubt more than prepared, was amazing and so professional, a real trouper, even as he asked the crowd at one point to "quiet down"so he could do one of his legendary intros to a song. Despite the rude, disrespectful bunch behind us who continued to yell throughout, until my husband turned around to loudly tell them they had to stop, which they did not, and we got up and found empty seats where the crowd was actually listening, Steve Earle was his usual fabulous, raspy, story-telling best, including some newer material most of the crowd didn't seem to know, written for a documentary on a mine disaster in West Virginia that killed 29 men, whose names are front and centre in Steve's song. Steve, the crowd at River Cree in Enoch/Edmonton did not represent us true fans, who maybe had a couple of brewskis before the concert, and sat near the front to see and hear and revel in the mastery of a storyteller, poet, singer, guitar player at the top of his game. No apologies were needed for your voice, etc. though being Canadian, I wanted to say sorry for the smoke, for the rowdy boors, for the asinine non-fans drunkenly calling for Copperhead Road when you were talking about your son and the permanent hole that is left in your heart. Know that there were more of us than them, there at River Cree, on Friday, August 16, and we were listening, and we heard you, and were blown away.
