Great singer/songwriter, but he only played for an hour and a half, and I felt he sold us short.
Very Very good show well promoted and great value and venue say no more
A concert packed full of emotions, a soul searching if you will, which reflected how one can change. Steve Earle has found his place of peace. Each song played, reflected where he has been and where he is now, not only as an artist, but more importantly as a human being. It was a pleasure to have not only to meet him after the show, but to have shared a wonderful evening with a jammed packed appreciative audience.
I have been a fan of Steve Earle for well over twenty years so I jumped at the chance to see him live. I wasn't sure what to expect from a solo/acoustic show as a lot of my favorites had driving base or drums. My concerns were quickly put to rest when Steve took the stage. With in seconds this man had the crowd in the palm of his hand and he kept us there for the entire evening. From "Thinking 'Bout Burning it Down" to "Guitar Town" it was an amazing evening for all.
Vanier Hall is an amazing venue and Steve Earle took advantage of it, and gave the full house what they came for - a nite of awesome music and vibe.
A nice Evening out together excellent music and entertainment
It was an awesome evening and show, he is a very very talented man. Sounded great and is abit of a comedian as well on stage lol....
I found Steve Earle to be very personable on the stage. My husband wasn't a fan but the concert changed that for him. My sons grew up listening to Steve Earle. The oldest in particular referred to Steve Earle as his idol before the concert and was so "stoked" afterwards, telling me that I was the best for buying the tickets for his birthday!
Steve Earle always puts on a great show! We try to see him whenever he comes to town, and definitely hope he's back again soon!
I've been a fan since guitar town and have lost track of how many times I've seen Steve in concert. As always the man delivers a great show. This particular tour he wasn;t promoting a new album so we were treated to a lot of old and not so old favourites from his remarkable career as a performer. I've only given 4 stars instead of a normal 5 as he wasn;t touring with the Dukes. As great as he is live solo, he's even better with his band. As an aside it was my first time to the Red Robinson and it really is a great venue for a show
I purchased my ticket to the Steve Earle concert based on previous reviews and was not expecting him to be performing solo. It felt more like a song writing showcase, than a concert and I was disappointed in the value for the money.
Intimate and up close show. Just Steve, a celtic Bouzuki and two Martin guitars. He touches on every single part of his musical journey so far and played one from an album to come. Very engaging and the between songs banter fleshed out many of the stories behind the songs we've come to love. Wonderful show.
My first time seeing Steve Earle, and hopefully it won't be the last. Brilliant songwriter, talented musician and singer, and fine storyteller...made for a great night at the Red Robinson Theatre.
The venue was great. Not a bad seat in the house. The crowd felt like family, thanks to Steve and his wonderful presence and they way he shares himself and his talent.
Yes, we both enjoyed the Steve Earle concert very much. It was like he was in our living room, very up close and personal.
A very good performance as it takes a great artist to stand with only himself and their instruement in front of a mike and entertain. With no back up band you have to be good. Really enjoyed the performance and was glad to see and hear him.
Steve did this show solo and it was totally engaging. His playing and singing were bang on. He made us all laugh and made us all cry. In spite of being in a casino concert hall, the evening had the feel of a kitchen party. Singer songwriter extraordinaire!
Steve put on a stellar solo set that lasted about 100 minutes. A broad range of songs from his entire career. 22 songs performed in total. Opening with Waiting for the Sky, Gulf of Mexico, City of Immigrants, and My Old Friend the Blues. The new song The Devil in Me, will be on his new album - with a full Dukes and Duchesses. A great story about son Justin preceded Devils Right Hand. Biggest disappointment with Casino shows is their brevity. Very few seem to last longer than 100 minutes. Steve Earle solo is usually around 2 hrs or you get 2 sets. Casino policy needs to change - some of us are not interested in gambling. But a great venue with good sound - Steve s voice was loud and clear.
Song selection was great - I heard stuff from when I first started listening to Steve up to a lot of songs from his most recent album (which is great!). Got to hear most of my favourite tunes. Wasn't sure what to expect from Alison since I haven't really paid attention, but she actually has a fantastic voice and I I enjoyed her few songs - wouldn't complain if she did more. Steve sounded good - when you could hear him - the mix let the lead guitar kind of overwhelm the rest of the sounds, the quieter songs at least let you hear Steve clearly. Overall, we got more than our money's worth. Even with the less than perfect mix I would do it again.
The band that Steve had with him, Eleanor, her husband, Steve's wife,, were all amazing musicians. The night was awesome! I believe the sound guy could have done a better job. It was sometimes hard to hear Steve's voice.
