• Bonnie Raitt

  Simply Amazing, The combination of Bonnie Raitt and James Taylor was so enjoyable! I smiled through out the entire concert. The music was incredible! The amphitheater was packed with folks from all ages as the talent from these artist reaches everyone's heart and soul. This was my first time seeing both artists and I was not disappointed in any way. I count myself as very fortunate to have been able to enjoy concerts from the greats like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Roger Hodgson, in the last few years. I now count Bonnie Raitt and James Taylor as one of these very special performers whose concerts are filled with something more than "just a song", these songs and performances were stories that reached into your heart as only a true artist can do. Thank you to Bonnie Raitt & James Taylor for such a great concert experience! I absolutely loved it!

• No question one of the best concerts I've seen. We were at the June 19 show in Vancouver and sitting a mere three rows in front of the stage. Loved how Ms Raitt introduced The show with "Need you Tonight" showcasing her amazing talent and stellar backup musicians. She also managed to treat us to some of our favourites "Angel from Montgomery", "I can't make you love me" and " Something to Talk About" penned by our own fabulous Shirley Eikhard!

  She just keeps getting better - her voice has that fine range with a tinge of gravel. Her slide guitar style is perfection. No slowing down for her! Loved, loved the BB King tribute by keyboardist Mike Finnegan.

  The thing about Bonnie is she is fully engaged with her audience with no pretensions or unnecessary flash. I believe she truly loves to perform and the emotion she portrays on stage is very real.

  Royal Wood for a warmup act was the perfect choice. He and his group performed a fantastic array of his tunes showcasing his song writing ability and smooth vocals. I am a newly minted fan!

• Omigod, what a concert!! Right from the beginning, it was fantastic. The feeling in the room was electric - I am a musician in Vancouver and lots of my peers were there so it was a crowd that was ready and super appreciative before it even got going. Royal Wood came on right at 8 on the dot - punctuality is a lovely thing. He and his trio were stellar. I had heard of him but wasn't familiar with his music or live show. Well, he is a class act. Great songwriting, great storyteller, funny, respectful of Bonnie and his audience - he and his bassist and guitarist were great. He was very sad that it was the last show of the tour which added a bittersweet tone to his already kinda sad songs.

  Then it was the queen herself. This is my fourth time seeing Bonnie Raitt and she never disappoints. As always, her band was in fine form - a nice addition this time was Mike Finnigan on keys (wow!) - and they played songs from the new album and lots of the old stuff. She has so much material but managed to choose exactly what everyone wanted to hear and then played it with aplomb. Her banter was quite sad this time because of her comments about the political situation in the US right now. We all felt VERY lucky to be Canadian and she complimented us many times on our hospitality and ability to coexist across cultures with maturity and peace. She played my two favourite songs: Angel From Montgomery and I Can't Make You Love Me (which brought me to tears AGAIN!) as well as David Byrne's Burnin' Down The House, many of her own songs, the blistering INXS tune off her new album and lots more going from heartbreakingly sad to foot-stompin' barn burner. She was incredible. And this is the first time I've seen her play so many instruments! A VERY good show all around. We have a treasure in Bonnie Raitt and I hope she continues to thrill us with her music for many years to come.
