Steve Earle

I have seen 1000's of shows/concerts throughout my life. But nothing can/will/never come close to Sunday nights performance. I was sooooo blown away and thoroughly enjoyed Steve's show. He was so incredibly personal, warm and completely open. I felt as though I was sitting in a room with Steve telling his life's story. He was so up close and personal! I have been a huge fan of his since early 80's, before Copperhead Road. But the other night just seemed to wrap it up. Hopefully not. I truly feel as though we are personal friends. And pray that will not be the last chance that I get to experience him. And in my dreams, to sit and jam with him! Would be the ultimate!!! Here's to many more encounters. Steve, You Rock! And BTW, I saw him in Asbury hall in Babeville. 6.15.25

There was a 90 minute period before the artist took the stage to eat and drink from a varied and very tasty assortment of foods and beverages. The venue is a beautiful structure in a gorgeous setting. Steve Earle played as advertised - solo and acoustic - for a solid 90 minutes with a two-song encore. It was a most enjoyable experience.

Steve gave a great show. He sang songs from his whole career, which of course, is extensive. He also sang the Jerry Jeff Walker song Mr. Bojangles, one of the best songs ever written. He sang his son's song Harlem River Blues, maybe the emotional tribute of the evening. He ended with Gordon Lightfoot's great song Sundown. Ron Sexsmith came back to play the song with him. What a fitting end to a wonderful concert at Massey Hall in Toronto. Steve talked quite a bit too making for a personal concert which held us all in rapture.

Steve seemed warm, sincere and funny. His presence and his music filled up the stage. and the auditorium. He put on a really good show, not slowing down from the time he hit the stage until he left it. He was very kind to come back on stage for an encore. I was very disappointed that the disruptive couple (wearing white shirts) & who sat down in row 4 at the end of the concert, were not escorted out of the venue. They were talking loudly, ignored requests to be quiet, & only stopped after a fan beside them stood up to address them (not the best move), and Steve noticed the commotion and expertly intervened, ending with, "I remember my first beer too". Steve should not have had to stop singing to handle this and fans should not have had to deal with the ongoing interruption. Concert goers (white shirt couple) should have the respect for others and the performer, to hold their loud conversation until after the concert. But, my question is, "where was SECURITY at the Bluegrass Hall of Fame". I believe that I would want to know that the security problem has been addressed before I would want to return to a concert at the Bluegrass hall of Fame.

Awesome show! The young lady that warmed up for him, Zandi Holup was very good as well, but the sound guys appeared unconcerned about how overmodulated she was—maybe they were aiming for distortion, if so—mission accomplished. Steve, on the other hand was great! Very entertaining, played some of my faves and of course copperhead road, which my wife loves, but he has LOTS of music that’s way better. My Old Friend the Blues, Billy Austin, Jonathan’s Song, among others. If Steve ventures near here again, we are so there dude!

Great show. Steve Earl played a great set of songs, including from his own catalogue, as well As those of Jerry Jeff Walker and Justin Townes Earl. He still has passion to burn, playing for over two hours straight, to an audience that seem to know the words to virtually every song.

Steve Earle gave us the best show we have ever seen in the mount baker theater. If he is touring in the town near you, I would not miss this opportunity to see a man that could literally bring you to tears with his words and emotions will flow through the night as his music is as deep as his soul.

The concert was excellent. Getting to & getting parked at the venue was a breeze. We chose valet. The seating was a little snug & not very comfortable, sat on row D, four rows from the stage. We understand that Tannehill’s has just started to provide seating for their concerts, hoping they get spacing & comfort issues worked out. It was a nice venue.

SE wss tremendous, living up to exepectations of previous performances. He gives everything, the passion and commitmrnt hr has is self evident. Last time i saw hom he had his band, this yime a one man band and not fot one minute was the band missed ( no disrecpect) It takes guts to.play like yhis snd Stebe had it in bucketd. One small complaint he fid noy play , ' Fort Worth Blues' Pls come back again soon.

Steve is so awesome. There is just no other way to put it. He is such a talent. He puts on a great show and plays great much that he either wrote himself or has paid tribute to, to some one who means so much to him. I love him and his music. If you bring him back, I'll be back too.

I wish he had played more of the songs that made me a Steve Earle fan. I do understand it's his show and his choice as to what he performs and yes I got a SE shirt. RIP JTE You made beautiful music. I only wish I could have caught a show.

Steve Earle and the Dukes began their Jerry Jeff Tour 2022 with the Whitmore Sisters in a rousing, fun, and foot stomping concert last night, giving the crowded Princess Theater in Decatur a night to remember!!!! It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen!!! Thank you, Steve Earle and company AND the Princess Theater!!!

Was so wonderful seeing Steve and the Dukes so close up in a great venue like the Talkhouse, tried to get tickets for the Outlaw cruise but waiting list was long immediately, I’m also sad that he will not be at the Mayday Festival again this year at Southaven Park!❤️😥

Loved the concert👍🎶The songs were a mix not only from the new Guy album but also So you want to be an Outlaw, Terraplane as well as his classics including The Devils right hand, Copperhead Road and more. The encore includedBilly Austin and as always that one was sung from the heart! Loved every minute of the night, and was glad those nasty clouds did not deliver a down pour !!! Thanks so much to Steve, the Dukes and of course the Mastersons👍🎶

Steve and the band seemed to genuinely be enjoying themselves and sounded great. Hard to believe that classic album is 30 yrs old but they took me right back there. Opening act was quite talented and also played along with Steve during the main set. Loved the between song chatter and spot-on political comments. Looking forward to the upcoming releases. A performance to remember for sure.

Played songs from new album which I haven’t had time to get into yet but also played classics like Johnny Come Lately, Jerusalem and Copperhead Road. At the end he spoke while playing a background piece on guitar- really moving thoughts about his life and the mess we find the world in. But maybe best song of all was a version of Hey Joe, just amazing!

One of the top 5 shows I’ve seen in my lifetime. Steve Earle is a brilliant songwriter and recording artist, but live his songs can breathe. They change into much more than just a carbon copy of the record. Steve Earle has a crack band and half of the 6-piece played multiple instruments. Peddle steel, fiddle, mandolin (acoustic and electric), etc. He puts the money into the show to make sure the songs get what they need and it shows. He told a few stories too, which we enjoyed. Most importantly he sounded great and opened the songs up into these beautiful living, breathing songs. I’ve been a fan since Guitar Town came out when I was 9 and my father played it all the time. He was a 3rd generation coal miner and union man. He loved what Steve sang about and what he stood for too. He passed at 54 and I know he would’ve loved the show. Steve played 3 or 4 songs from that album and a great variety from throughout his considerable catalog. I’ve been a big fan of his records for 3/4 of my life, but this was the first time I’ve seen him live. It will not be the last. Please come back to this venue soon Mr Earle. It was a huge treat for us. Thanks

Steve was fantastic, his band expert, and the set list a great mix of songs from his latest album, all-time favorites, and samplings of the best of his extensive catalog. The music was superb, but the sound disappointing. It may been or seats, well to the left of center, but the mix was almost muddy, with his vocals way too buried amongst his band. The band had a new slide guitarist, and I don't know if they were trying to hide him, but he was barely audible even on songs that featured the slide. Very enjoyable because of Steve, unfortunately tempered by the sound mix. May sure to see him, and hope for better sound than we had. Btw, I've seen many shows at the Bijou, and the sound has always been great. I assume this was an exception.

Steve Earle concert was great. His voice sounds really good, the band was tight and versatile and they played a whole range of songs. Set included some of their well known songs and a lot of wonderful newer material. The play Portland next. Catch them live!! Great songs, hell of a songwriter.

The first half of the evening was an interview which was really interesting and a great surprise. Then Steve did about 10 songs solo acoustic. About half new and half classics. Really a treat. He said he would tour back to LA later in the summer w the Dukes. Will def want to see that show...
