actually had a front row seat and got an autograph on an old photo....couldn't tell how the audience responded as being in the front seat , all I saw was the band.....great entertainers, could have listened to them for another hour easy....
This was my umpteenth Three Dog Night concert, and the thrill is still there. The first couple of songs were a little light on the vocals but after a fix to the sound level, everything was smooth sailing from there. The boys seemed a little more talkative with the audience and a little more at ease than usual. Cory's rap version of Mama Told Me was hilarious. Loved it. I went with a few friends, a couple of them had not seen the "Dogs" in concert and they were impressed with their showmanship. They said they would definately go see them again. The new song they played sounded great and adding some older songs like "Leave your hat on" was a pleasant surprise.
Put on a great show, we thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish the crowd had of been more enthusiastic. Would certainly go and see them again. Thanks!
I grew up with Three Dog Night and loved all their music. They lived up to their reviews and my memories. Great show all the favourites.
Music and thier voices were great. After travelling from Toronto to Orrillia and spendinf $60.00 on gas , plus paying for tickets on the floor , I expected more that an hour show. This blows. It's a rip off. Their new song "Heart of Blues" was almost worth it. Almost Redjay
Aside from the fact that not all of the band was there, those who did deign to show up lacked energy and interest. They appeared, at best, to just be going through the motions. Their songs are great, but their performance sorely lacking. Especially compared to other artists who have poured their guts out on the same stage - Chicago, Burton Cummings, Joe Cocker and Grand Funk to name a few. Very disappointing.
band was a little mellow. did not play alot of their own music. would not see them again.
Even with one of the group out for the tour they were great. The crowd was up dancing for most of the performance.
Three Dog Night was great but it could have been a little longer. I was happy with the encore being " Joy to the world".
Great old familiar songs performed with high level enthusiasm by mostly original members of Three Dog Night, who can still sing and play.
The boys in the band seemed ageless and their music is timeless. Not that many surprises as we had seen them last time out, but every song was a hit single and as musicians they were flawless. A great show........
great band, excellent old hits, fun, eclectric crowd, one of the most beautiful theatres out there--great date night
I was generaous in giving 2 stars. I don't think it is too much to expect to have the balances (sound levels) done before a concert ..and have the amps plugged in and working. It got off to a bad start (guy with a flashlight trying to make everything work ...shouldn't that have been done before the start of the concert?? HORRIBLE sound ..awful. AND ..nice they found "2 guys that could help us out" but ... the concert was 3 Dog Night NOT ... the monitor man filling in (he WAS a very good guitar player .. when he was plugged in ) and Danny's son . Still missing a lead singer. Maybe they should have cancelled after the "emergency" rather than find 2 guys to "help out". Don't even get me going about the (drunk?) yahoos who ran down to the stage. nice for them to buy cheap seats and then run down to th stage. Not so nice for those of us who (stupidly) bought golden circle tickets and thought we would have an unobstructed view. And what was with the bozzo with the lighter. He sure seemed impressed with himself .. me? not so much. . For the price, i expected a professional concert. Not a scramble.
I thought they sounded terrific but didn't play long enough. Before I knew the show was over...
This is the 2nd time I have seen three dog night and they are as fabulous now as they ever were.. This is a concert I would recommend as it is amazing.
As the concert opened last night the band said they were missing one of their key members. They themselves said they weren't sure what to expect. When I pay good money to see a concert I expect to see the very best the band has to offer. If they can't provide that then they have a duty to cancel or postpone the show until they can provide it. Some of the songs were off and there were others that they did not sing. They said themselves they were not going to sing their normal play list because of the missing band member. Some of the songs were pretty good, especially "Joy To The World" (their encore), but I couldn't help but think throughout the evening that this could have been a really fun night had the other band member been there. They should have postponed this concert.
This concert was spectatular...there was always music in our household while the 4 of us kids grew up. My parents were relatively Young parents and enjoyed ALL new music. Three Dog Night would be played over and over again. The best part of my childhood was rock'in to bands like this with my sisters and brother. Actually, we would perform for my parents friends (usually after the bar) while all dressed in the same p.j.'s. You just don't find times like that anymore.
Excellent musicians and singers. Great to hear all the old tunes. They play very well together. I loved the new tune they came up with for some Blues Festival they had to perform at. It was great.
