The Mavericks, since their inception in 1989, have been and will always be my favourite band. The lead vocals of Raul Malo, in combination with their fabulously recorded music throughout the years and the energetic performances of all band members create what could only be described as an outstanding concert experience. The newly renovated Massy Hall also enhanced this truly amazing experience. I recall seeing the Maverick's live in concert at Massey Hall in 1998, this present experience shines like a beacon over the former. The comfort of the venue plus the aesthetics appearance also add to the enjoyment level of the performance.
My recent concert by this band was the seventh experience seeing them live. I have one minor criticism being that the majority of the songs performed at Massy Hall on the 17 October 2022, were also performed at concerts within the past 10 years. My expectation for this performance was to experience newly written and recorded Maverick's music or at the least, songs never previously performed live by this band. The Mavericks have such a wide repertoire of music, in my view, hearing songs previously never performed live, from their catalogue, or songs new to the Maverick's would have enhanced my overall concert experience.
