I attended three dog night to remember the old days as i listened to them always and still do. I used to hang out with Joe Shermie many years ago in LA, Gotta catch these guys before they dont tour any longer. SO GOOD THAT
I knew I would know a lot of the songs but I was amazed at how well they could still sing their harmony. Their voices are still wonderful together. It was great when they started talking about how a song can to be or how they thought it would be a great hit and it wasn't. Having those personal reflections about the songs really made it very enjoyable. It was great to see a bunch of guys still totally enjoying their music together and the audience loved it!
This is the 4th time I've been to see them - and it never gets old. As always, they were just BRILLIANT !! Having been a local musician/singer - I'm a self-confessed harmony junkie, and their harmonies just knock me down. You just hope that songs like "Prayer of the Children" will never need to be written – but Bestor's composition in TDN's hands – is absolutely sublime. I just never get tired of listening to those voices, and watching the on-stage silliness that makes us all feel like they're just kibitzing among friends (us). There is a warmth and intimacy they create – actually very much in keeping with the meaning of their name. There were standing 'Os' at the end of the night . . . we'd have kept them up there for another couple hours, if we could have.
These guys sounded awesome. I enjoyed every minute of the show. I would definitely go to see them if they come to town again.
These old guys still have what it takes to Rock and Roll!
It was not only because it happened to be a full moon that this show was spectacular. Three Dog Night made the moon full of shining in your face until you want to dance goodness. One fellow was up dancing in front of the stage so often, the security had to take him back to his seat twice, before the whole space was invaded by grooving gurus of good times rock and roll for the encore performance of "Joy to the World"! Long before that though, the good times rolling little doggies were belting out the old time favorite classics like "One is the Loneliest Number," "Never Been to Spain" and "Mama Told Me Not to Come". This last number was even remade into an instant rap classic! Good to see the little doggies having such fun on stage. The band is still as tight as ever, vocally, instrumentally, and rhythmically. I would highly recommend anybody see these guys once at least... that's one more little doggie trick off my buckie list, mates. Bonus: I got to see it with an old friend from high school that I had not visited much in close to forty years! We had a great time. Buffet dinner in the Grille Restaurant on-site was also way cool! RWEHAVINGFUN
It started off a little ruff. At the beginning it sounded like the sound equipment wasn't set up well, etc. After the 1st few songs they got it dialed in and the rest of the evening was very good.. Thanks
Oh Man were they good so many songs that brought back amazing memories did not want the evening to end.
As a life long fan I get so excited at seeing this group(for at least 20 times in my life). This was no exception. They really are a great show. But I am hoping for a revamp to the show to come up with different old songs ( would love to hear" I can Hear ya Callin"). One question, Why don't they play Eli's Comin any more , it was my first favorite song, must be some political Bull going on. But also let me say that PRAYER FOR THE CHILDREN is a new song that is absolutely fabulous, brings a tear to my eye when they play it. If they had done that in the 70's it would have been a number 1 hit for sure. Still the best 3 part harmony group in history.
A very entertaining evening. They played their hits as well as some lesser known songs and a few new ones.
Wow!!! Started off strong and just got better. What a night. They were terrific,we had a blast and the crowd enjoyed the show.
What a great way to relive the 1970s! The band was in top form, and their voices were incredible. A really talented group - they don't disappoint!
Had a great time and the songs brought back some wonderful memories. Although the vocals showed their age in some songs Corey was still amazing. The song "Prayer of the Children" which was sung during their encore (acappella) was absoultely beautiful.
Very good show. Vocals are still very strong unlike most older bands. Prayer for the Children was excellent.
They were on time. They were funny. They has such good stage presence and rapport with the audience. Loved the back ground of songs and the bands history they told us. A bunch of very talented men and wow, can they still sing! Loved hearing their old songs, some new editions to old songs and some new material they are working on now. Loved the new song they did acapella. It gave me goose bumps. It is obvious that they all love what they do as it shows in their performance. We were dancing in our seats throughout the entire concert. We would come back to see them again! I was so excited about going to the concert in the first place, because I have always wanted to see Three Dog Night, but to make it doubly special, it was also my birthday that night!
Made the trip to Rama to see the show and the guys did not disappoint, they performed flawlessly and brought back memories from the good ole days of the 70's. On the downside the crowd was rather lethargic maybe it was past their bedtime.
Listening to their previous hits brought back many fond memories, but I was most impressed with their new material, especially the sone Prayer for the Children. My only suggestion for improvement, in no way reflects upon the performers, but for Casino Rama, the seats are very uncomfortable and do not add in anyway to the enjoyment of the performance by the audience.
This was an amazing concert. I hadn't remembered all the hits Three Dog Night had had until they were played. I knew every song.
I already knew that Chuck's was the strongest/best voice of the three but Cory's was quite weak the night we saw the show. I know this can vary from show to show but he [Cory] would have a tough time covering 'One' at his best which he certainly wasn't. Danny had to carry most of the show and frankly his voice is better than I thought.
Ever since the split up of Chuck Negrone the band has attempted to perform with Danny and Cory and a "fill-in" In doing so gone from one of the most outstanding live bands I have ever seen to Two Dog Night trying to make up for the third vocal. Result is a disjointed show which is actually very tedious for the listener.The third "voice" is only used for harmony which again provides an unbalanced performance. If you remember these guys sat at Ontario Place in the 80's ,seeing them now will be a very unpleasent experience.
