Nelson

Nelson does not get the credit they deserve. They are absolutely fantastic in concert, whether it’s a Ricky Nelson Remembered concert or Nelson. They connect with the audience like no other act I’ve seen, and the MGM show was no different. They opened for Lita Ford and Warrant. I bought the tickets just to see Nelson and didn’t even stay for the rest. The sound they produce with just their voices and guitars is unbelievable. They have such talent and are genuinely nice people who appreciate their fans. I have been to many Nelson shows and can’t wait for the next. Nelson fan for life! ❤️

I went to see Matthew and Gunnar because I’m actually related! My biological father was a Nelson, the grandson of Ozzie and Harriet. Sadly, I didn’t inherit those harmonious voices as these two young men did. Wonderful performance! I was hoping to catch a photo with Matthew and Gunnar to share with my half brother Mark Harold Nelson. He lives in Napa CA and sings lots of Nelson songs. familphoto this time

Excellent night Nelson rocked the stage and nailed it . Got it to the point where you felt like you were back in 1991 and 92 amazing guitars with Neil Zaza and JJ Ferris rock the stage as well David Keith amazing drummer and of course, Matthew and Gunnar nailed every song and made you feel like you were in a major concert hall from back in the day. And of course, the tent was perfectly air-conditioned. Staff was amazing and it was really great to see some of the band members after the fact. Great job gunnar and matt for bringing Nelson back to the stage Lizzie

Matthew and Gunnar never disappoint! This was a Ricky Nelson Remembered show. They mostly did their version of their dad's songs. They do it lovingly. You can really tell that they truly miss their dad, their best friend as they say. This was a three piece group with David Keith as the drummer. He is very good doing this as well as hard rock. All of them are capable band members and all sing. My friends and I had a great time. The staff at the Sorg was absolutely wonderful. They are all volunteers. They treated us like old friends.

The Wilmington show was such a fun time. Got to talk with Neil Zaza for a little bit. He found out I was from Cleveland so we have something in common. He was so nice as was David Keith. Matthew and Gunnar are also the kindest people. The band did their full band songs and everyone had a great time. The street in front of the stage was just packed. The weather was perfect as well. The people in Wilmington that put this on were very kind to us that came. Talked with the one security guy and he was very glad to see so many people in the audience. It was their 6th year putting it on. Great line up of talent. Our group that went just had a great time. Thanks to all that made this happen!!!

These boys (gentlemen) gave an amazing performance..way more talented than I was expecting…did their father proud in so many ways… their vocals (lead and harmonies) were sibling special..Gunnar’s guitar licks were very Burton/Harrison esque …and Matthew’s bass …excellent.. and what decent young men Ricky raised. I brought my 40 something daughter who loved the show as well. So good!

this show was so amazing, I really enjoyed how they were so very down to earth with us all. and they are both so funny. I loved all thier stories of thier family and new songs. I also loved how Matthew walked up to my 8 year old and gave her his pick that he was playing with, that really made her night. I will definitely see them again. I hope they come back to Layton

Great show. Great musicians. They didn't need any drums, organs, or any other back-up instruments, just each one's acoustic guitar. When they asked if anyone had seen their dad, Ricky, in concert & then said, "one person", I was that one person. It was when Ricky Nelson came to perform at the Utah State Fair.

The Ricky Nelson Remembered show by Matthew and Gunnar Nelson with David Keith on drums was absolutely wonderful. Love these guys. They are total professionals. They tell great stories of their Dad and give a bit of a history of that time in music. They have great voices and are lovely to look at too. But more than that they are truly the nicest guys. I was lucky enough to see them after the show. I cannot wait till the next show.

Awesome concert. Not the best experience at the venue though. My wife had to move to a vacant seat during the concert, since a very tall person sat in front of her & she couldn't see over or around them. Apparently, the venue does not even ask or restrict cellphone use or recording of concert. I counted 9 cellphones at one point in my balcony area in use & one even had the bright flash part on. It was very distracting with people using their cellphones. Nevertheless, Gunnar & Matthew Nelson are very talented & were very entertaining. I rated the show 5 stars because of the performance & not the venue.

The Nelson show was excellent as usual. David Keith drummed his heart out, Neil Zaza can make a guitar just sing. I was happy that JJ Farris got to sing a song he has a beautiful voice and can also make a guitar sing! And Matthew and Gunnar....well they are so special. They sang all of their hits and then some. They would have every right to be egotistical rock stars but they are both the nicest humans to their fans. Safe travels to the entire band. See you down the road.

It was an amazing show from the Nelson twins and drummer D. Keith !!! Love 1950 music especially and well done concert with documentary and music and lots of audience participation added a lot to this historic 1902 venue . Hope to see them as Nelson and /or Ricky Nelson Remembered again . Thankful tickets for 6 months so great seat and got autographs and guitar pick and a picture with the drummer as well thanks so much for a memorable evening . LAR

The Nelson show at the Goodyear theater was absolutely fantastic. They were the sole act that night. They didn't have to hurry to get off stage for another group to come on and they seemed very relaxed and even they seemed to have a great time. They talked more which was wonderful. Both Matthew and Gunner have a great sense of humor and they are just so down to earth and kind to their fans. I did get to meet their drummer David Keith and he is exactly the same. Kind and down to earth. The home town crowd was there to cheer on Neil Zaza (man he can play that guitar!) and JJ Farris brought his entire family!! JJ can also play a mean guitar. It was truly an enjoyable night. Thank you guys for coming to Akron. Hope to see you again very soon.

The show was phenomenal!  Been a fan since early 90s.  Got to meet Matthew and Gunnar last night and it was a dream come true!  They were so kind and personable. Thank you so much for an amazing night and memories! Great venue too for close up and personal experience with the bands!

Went to the Picktown Palooza specifically to see Nelson. I never saw them 30 years ago but they acted like they were still in their 20s. It was absolutely brutally hot. They gave it their all. It was all of the hits from their first album and it was fabulous. The crowd may have been there for Slaughter but they sang every song that Nelson sang. I sure hope they heard us. There were some technical issues but they handled it with humor and professionalism. The brothers cared for one another on stage. They made it thru together. I cannot say enough how great the concert was. I am glad I will get to see them again in Akron, Ohio. Matthew and Gunnar are truly great human beings besides being rock stars. They showed my friend and I such kindness. Big hugs!

Absolutely amazing show. I have not seen Nelson since Mud Island, Memphis TN in 1991. Matt and Gunnar never fail to put on a superb performance. This felt like a family gathering we were all invited to with a concert included. I love the stories about Ozzie, Harriet and Ricky and growing up Nelson!

WOW, JUST WOW. I've seen ALOT of shows, this was definitely in my top 10. I waited 30 years to see them live and had to travel quite a distance so it cost me a bit. WORTH EVERY PENNY and well worth the wait. I want to go again. Highly recommend this show! 🥰

What an amazing show! I have always wanted to see the Nelson twins love and I am so glad I finally was able to see them! So great! Loved the intimate feeling interacting with the am as they told stories and it was as if we were just sitting around in someone’s living room reliving the past. Such a great testament of a wonderful family, generation after generation. Dad would be proud of his boys! Great job Matthew & Gunnar! Cannot wait to see you guys again! A++++++++++

I wish I had photos, but, photos and videos were not allowed by the venue. The show was absolutely amazing, as they always are! I've seen them seven times in the last four and a half years, four of those times at Sellersville Theater. It's one of my favorite places

We traveled about three hours to get to the concert in Ravenswood and it was worth every mile of that travel. The twins are very hard working and talented. I was lucky enough to meet Gunnar for a few minutes and he was so nice. I also got to talk to their drummer and he was very sweet. He has only wonderful things to say about them. They had lots of rain at the location during their sound check but luckily the skies brightened and the concert was humid but not raining. They played quite a few of their dad's songs and a couple of theirs. I can't wait for their new album to come out hopefully early next year. It was a very enjoyable concert. I can't wait to see them next time. Hopefully they will come to Ohio soon!
