Genesee Theatre

The longevity of this band is amazing. Through every lineup change they hit a grand slam. Steve Walsh is a legend, but Ronnie Platt has made it his own and was amazing. Missed Billy Greer and wish Phil Ehart a full recovery. Both were filled in for more than admirably.

Saw the Waukegan show last night. While it was enjoyable, it wasn’t one of their better shows. Perhaps in anticipation of their Europe trip, things seemed low energy. Worse was the mix. (As I am not a sound geek I’m not certain how to describe the solution, the problem was that you could hardly hear any solo, except the horns. Percy’s solos disappeared behind the overwhelming drums as did Eddie’s. Neither instrument was discernible over the band especially the heavy drums. The accordion solos produced no sound. We were in the first row of the balcony.

Seeing Elle King at Genesee Theater always delivers. Venue is classy, chic and intimate. Always purchase orchestra seats and feels like you can reach out and touch her. She rocked the house as usual! Hope to see you again in 2025.

Excellent show--the end for a comedy great! See him if you get the chance--he is spot on and correct in his world views (at least for those that aren't insane or insanely ignorant and there are many of you out there!)

The venue was SOOOOOOOOO crowded we couldn't even dance to the music. It was raining so everyone was soaking wet from standing in line to get inside and they had the air conditioning blasting so it was FREEZING! This was my 3rd time seeing Andy and he put on a great show like always but I could tell he was a little off. Maybe just tired but he did forget some lyrics and I noticed he was reading them off a video prompt screen. The stage was small so he couldn't really dance and get into it like he typically does. But none the less he put on an amazing show. He shared the stage with his band members and gave them the opportunity to showcase their individual talent which was amazing. His wife and daughter made a suprise appearance and that was amazing! I can't wait to see him again!

He and his band know how to throw a joyful celebration. What an artist in many ways! Loved seeing all ages at the show too. We will see him for every new tour.

Brian always brings a good time. 5 star for him and his band as well as the opening act. Such talent. What was disappointing was the venue. Great historic theater and love there is no bad seat in the house however causes us to sit thru the concert until the end when Brian said get up and dance. If I was a performer I would hate to perform to a sitting audience. This is not a play but a concert. The end was a real good time with some older songs where we got to sing and dance. I think it is the season ticket holders that aren’t really into the band that cause this.

1. The backup singers detracted from Christopher and seemed to be into themselves. 2. Except for the keyboardist all the other band members seemed bored. No excitement whatsoever. 3. We loved when he sang “Think of Laura” by himself.

I have loved Diamond Rio since 92 when I heard ‘Meet in the Middle’. It was the song that brought me to country music and to see Diamond Rio in that intimate setting was such an amazing experience. The show was amazing and thank you to Dana and Micah for coming off the bus to talk to us. This is why I love country music. The amazing music and the amazing people.❤️❤️❤️

John Oates is an amazing musician and artist. This concert was small and intimate, and he tells stories as he plays. This is not a Hall and Oates rock show. This is an acoustic set with him playing a guitar and his drummer. That's it. No fancy set, just a talented musician making you feel like you are in his living room hanging out. Very chill and laid back. This show is for people who want to see John perform his body of work. He did play a few Hall and Oates songs, but that's not the focus. It was neat to learn more about him and his personality. Many are giving bad reviews because they thought this was a Hall and Oates rock show.

Seen Brit Floyd several times and and now my kids are following them. I will say this was by far the best show yet. They keep getting better and better. Looking forward to seeing them again.

The Indigo Girls never disappoint the crowd. Good mix of old and new and played several songs they do not play at every concert.(which is a plus for me having seen them over 50 times). Only gave 4 stars because the Daily Herald said they’d have the full band but only had the extra violin (who is fabulous!).

Great concerts I had great seats Rick was great and so is his band and so was the band before him do anything is that I felt bad there's Mike for phone kept going out and things kept breaking other than that concert was great no problem I'll follow him wherever he goes thank you

Wonderful music! Beautiful Theater! Marie's voice was perfect as she jumped from one genre to another. And the Christmas songs put us in a wonderful holiday spirit! I will see Marie again the next time she is in town.

the band was in top form, but some boner brought HIS OWN TAMBOURINE to the show and went buck wild on the thing through the whole set. no one from the venue did anything. i was in the balcony and the asshole was on the floor, so i could kind of block it out, but no one should have to do that. i’ve been going to shows for a quarter century and i’ve never once seen a person bring their own gd instrument. if you’re the type of misanthrope that does shit like that, i have a few suggestions for where you can put that tambourine

I have to only give it three stars, unfortunately. RANDY was GREAT - however, the price charged for the VIP experience was outrageous. We bought what we THOUGHT were front row seats and the venue added two additional rows of folding chairs IN FRONT OF US after we purchase our tickets. This venue is NOT ADA compliant. The staff have no clue how to assist someone with a physical disability. They do not even know where the ADA washroom(s) are! There are no doors that open easily. The VIP experience consisted of a lanyard and a 9x12 'poster' that was signed. We were supposed to interact with Randy - that was impossible to stay in the seats we were in. The Will Call door was blocked by people who had tickets and were waiting to get into the venue. Those who HAD TO GET WILL CALL because the PROMOTERS INSISTED WE GET THERE TWO HOURS EARLIER for the 'experience' couldn't get their tickets OR GET TO THE 'Check in' table - all just ridiculous. See Randy - especially if you are a liberal. Just DON'T SEE HIM AT GENESEE THEATRE

I’ve wanted to see Cheap Trick live for years and thought I may have missed my chance forever three years ago after not attending their last show at the Genesee. I’m so glad they came back and I got to see them. They played all of my favorite songs!

It was beautiful and bittersweet. They are beyond talented and I was so happy to share this experience with my mom. Thank you for many years of heartfelt music, and I'm so glad I found you again before you said goodbye.

It was a great concert but we were in balcony and in row U seats 128 & 126 . it wasn’t loud enough. It could of been a lot louder than it was. Also they stated late not on time 730 and they should of played til 1030 like it was planned!

Josh was great! His voice is beautiful. I just wish the concert would’ve lasted longer then 1 hour 20 minutes. I felt bad for Josh and his band because the crowd was very dull! I wanted to stand for the entire concert but because I was in the second row I didn’t want to block people
