My mother has Parkinson's and listening to Hauser helps her cope when symptoms are bad. She could not have had a more exciting experience than seeing him live and then to ice the cake he came right over where we were sitting and played. He was so close you could touch him. She has been talking about the experience and listening to the music since the concert.
Show was amazing… my only complaint venue staff (Ruth Eckerd Hall) said no video or photograph per the performer … totally not true … the fist think Hauser said no rules enjoy the show you can take video, pictures and dance. Yet you still had staff bothering the guests to put away phones. Very rude on the part of the venue to bother paying guest during performances.
We love Scott Bradlee's PMJ and have been fans since their beginning. Have seen several shows over the last 10 years. That is why we were so excited for the 10th Anniversary Show. And very surprised by how disappointed we were. The first half of the show was fantastic, then the second half was the same old, same old as we have seen the past 3 years. We felt Scott Bradlee could have done so much more to honor his 10 years of PMJ. Where were the special guest singers/dancers of 10 years' past??? Where were the songs of 10 years' past??? If we have to hear the longest song "Radioactive" againnnnnnnnnnnn........(you get my point!). And no matter how much we love the tapping of Ms. Demi Remick, that Mario number needs some time off! The musicians and singers and dancers are all top-notch, so we definitely recommend buying tickets for PMJ if you haven't seen them in a while. We would just recommend refraining if you have seen them in the past year or two; we will be definitely taking a break for the next few years. Hoping to see new material the next time; until then we will enjoy on YouTube!! Have a wonderful day all!
This was one of many we have seen over the years. It was, without a doubt, the best concert he has ever produced. He has added some new people that could sing and play and a 16 year old that could play the piano, sing and play sazaphone & guitar. He added a young lady with a beautiful voice that added a great deal to his program. They played for nerly two hours without an intermission. The two tenor men were outstanding in their singing and their playing of their saxaphones. And, of course, Dave Koz was outstanding in his playing and direction of the orchestra. We will come again next year.
Show was great and they kicked ass. Only complaint was the one big security guard that kept making me and my wife move back from the seating. I'm a veteran with total knee replacement and this 20 something old security was trying to act big. Seats were sold out and only lawn seats available and couldn't sit on the ground and get up when the shows were on. Otherwise great show.
I am not sure how to put in words how good this concert was. Steve Miller is amazing and played all their hits and more. He sounds so good at 79 and plays the guitar and harmonica as well as anyone. The venue at Ruth Eckerd is first class along with the staff. Steve Miller is a must see!
The songs he performed were great. Not sure the talking and BS with the crowd was appreciated by all the audience. We saw a lot of people leave well before the show ended. Show was supposed to be a 90 minute set he probably sang and played 20 minutes of that time and the rest of the show he drank and talked about himself and his favorite songs.
Great show. Will see them at a festival next for a better overall experience.
No middle aisle meant we had a steady flow of “rounders.” One trio went by and back three times. C’mon people, I can hold it like a camel at a great concert.
And three pods of rude people talking through the show, even in quiet dynamic songs. I stopped going to movies because of this.
The Mavericks are one of the best live bands there is. No one can build a crescendo like them Mavericks. The Clearwater shows are usually the best of the tour and last night Raul explained why. They started in Miami and play Florida alot. Both Raul and Eddy have family in the Clearwater area so it's a homecoming and they got their first record contract after a Clearwater show.
It’s always a party with The Mavericks! The guys have us believing we’re the best audience they’ve ever had!
As a bonus this year’s opening act, Seth Walker, got everyone in the mood for a great show…what a talented guitarist! I listened to his music on my way home.
Thanks for another awesome night and we’ll see you again in March at the Ocoee Music Festival.
I think he still enjoys performing and it shows ! Kenny and a 5 pcs band of great players and hand picked for their fitting harmony vocals , any other act would have extra backup singers but his band were such great players and singers you could tell that time was spent picking each one and it worked ! The show was personal , flowed and Kenny kept t interesting too ! I think he actually still enjoys performing and it shows !
Got the VIP package and was able to ask Mr. Satriani a question or 2. The issue that effectively ruined this concert was the venue and the security 'guards' taking their jobs WAY too seriously. My wife and I were among the last to leave the Q&A forum as we had to pick up an item that Mr. Satriani had signed for us. However one of the security guards rushed us out implying that we were holding people up (there were only 2 people left behind us). this was 90 minutes before the show.
The second - and more important issue to know about this venue - wasn't somthing we really recognized when we bought the tickets - was that each row has 50-80 seats. There is no center aisle that people can walk down through. No. that means that ALL the people who sit in the middle have to step over/around all the people sitting down. This was a horrible way to watch a concert - between the geriatrics who couldn't hold their beer/liquor/water to the people who were fashionably late or the smokers needing a hit. Never again will I watch a concert at this venue.
Those 2 issues alone were enough to spoil the night. Throw in the standard mental-giants directly behind us trying to have a CONVERSATION at a ROCK CONCERT, yelling the whole time. But this was something that has to be dealt with at any concert - Again, the older ushers didn't do anything about it.
Lastly - was the sound engineer. This was my 3rd Satriani concert (probably my last). I saw hime in Long Island and Washington DC. Here in Clearwater, The hall itself has a lot of good sound qualities where needed. The issue being that a lot of the musical notes and even individual instruments were very muddled at times and they tried to 'cover' it by making the sounds louder, which just made things worse....
Bottom line - don't watch concerts at Ruth Eckerd Hall
The War Hippies opened the show and were fantastic, as their harmonies are great! They appeared after the show to greet fans, and they are terrific guys!!
Headliner Travis Tritt has been around for several decades now, and his songs are just as great as ever! I've seen him in concert many times, but it's been a long while now, and his vocals sounded as good as ever. His band was excellent as well. Travis even played a couple of new songs from his most recent album (first in 14 years), and the new songs were very good! It was a pleasure to see Travis back out performing live music again!!
Chris Janson is just a natural born entertainer, as well as a great lyricist and vocalist. He's one of my favorites to see live in concert, as he seems to be a nice guy who cares that his fans have a good time, and his show is always a great deal of fun!
Randy Rainbow was fantastic!! I would go and see his show over and over again. He is funny charming and filled to the brim with humor and he had the audience in stitches. I cannot recommend seeing his show enough. Get tickets and go see him live as soon as you can. It will be an evening that you will never forget.
Randy Rainbow rocks!!!!!!
I've seen Ray on every tour since 2009, he's my forever all time favorite. Florida, Michigan, Cali - He NEVER puts on a bad show, they change, they evolve. It's a holy experience.
People - do NOT shout out song requests to him. Just don't. ( Esp. Florida...) He has a set list, he sticks to it. Just enjoy it. He's magic, his lyrics are genius and we're lucky to have him on tour. <3
Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida is a fabulous venue for concerts; I've seen many great shows - sitting on the front row (Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, Jerry Seinfeld) and even sitting on the last row (Alan Parsons Project), and although I'll take the front row over the last row, every seat has a great view and wonderful sound.
Switchfoot and Collective Soul - you've got to be kidding!! Two headliners in one show. Both played full concerts...okay, maybe both bands shortened their regular main attraction shows, but each played a full 75 minutes or more.
The audience loved the both! They/We even enjoyed Jade Jackson who sang an enthusiastic 20 minute set. I'm not a professional reviewer, so I won't go into minute details, but all I can say was both bands rocked, and both bands made their appearance extremely personal with the audience. Not like a Roger Waters concert that is visually strongly negative and political, with the only words coming from him being "Thank you" and "Good night"! Frontmen Jon Foreman of Swictchfoot and Ed Roland of Collective Soul were both tremendous 'masters of ceremonies" as they lovingly engaged the audience with their banter and enthusiasm.
Again, both bands sounded fabulous, truly rocked, they were all very loving and complimentary to each other, and even though it was a long night....it was one of the best shows (and I've seen a lot of bands) ever! Trust me....go see them....together or separately....a splendid time is guaranteed for all!
Ed Roland, ever the consummate showman, was resplendent in hot pink suit, prancing around the Ruth Eckerd Hall stage as the band did a high-energy 90-minute show that was a mixture of old, not-so-old and the new album. CS could have played to a larger Tampa Bay audience. That they chose a 2,100-seat venue says a lot for the value they place on intimacy and crowd connection. This one one helluva show.

They've been playing the same, boring 12 songs for the past 2 years, never changing it up and nothing from their last 5 albums either. Plus, the show is over within just over an hour. That's more like what an opening act does, not a headliner. Also, no Mick Jones on lead guitar (so no original members) and no saxophone player. This is basically a tribute band.
Tremonti has been an amazing guitar player and song writer for years with Creed and Alter Bridge but his solo material is even more amazing! His vocals and live performances like last night are full of energy and tons of fun with impeccable musicianship. Please go see Tremonti if you have the chance and you won’t regret it!!!!!!
I was delighted with our seats!!! So glad to see the Mavericks back on stage...I will admit that i was getting upset with several of the other attendees that kept dancing on their feet right in front of the handicapped area where the poor older folks could not see the stage...all they could do was ask each other if they could see anything. I strongly suggest that one of your employees should be sensitive to those key areas where those ticket holders cannot stand and at least fend for themselves and ask some to not be so oblivious.
My wife has not been to the Eckerd Hall since the Doobie Brothers (we lived in California), so it was a thrill to be back. Our goal for all future shows will be Row Q seats 13/14.
Keep the quality of the shows coming.
