Tennessee Theatre

This was the second time I had seen Cheap Trick in just under a year (the previous time was when the were opening for Heart). The band still has great energy, Robin Zander still has the pipes, and Rick Nielsen can still shred and has the same sense of humor he's always had. However, I rate this show as only a 4 for a couple of reasons. First, this show was part of the tour to promote their newest album, All Washed Up, so I was expecting to hear two or three tracks from it; they played just ONE song from it the entire night, and not the one I expected. Two, they played some deep cuts and singles from the pre-Budokan days in the first part of the show, which was making it difficult for me to enjoy the show. One thing for sure about this band, though, is they appear to change up the setlist each night (both by changing the order and track selection), so they clearly aren't going through the motions after all these years. So many acts choose a setlist for a tour and play the same songs in the same sequence night after night. Not so with Cheap Trick.

The venue was a beautiful place to see a show. Very intimate & personal. Alice put on a great show. Lights, Props, Sounds, Performance, etc. were all fantastic, not to mention the individual band members, which are freaking amazing! Guitar solos, drum solos, snakes, guillotine, Frankenstein, Mask, and so much more .. just pure entertainment. Alice didn't show ANY lack of anything over the years. Just funny looking around and seeing all the bald heads and white hair rockers who once were young, hot rocking partiers, there. LOVED IT! Definitely go see if you get the chance. He's pure entertainment and his voice still sounds great!

This was the best concert I have ever been to! The band was amazing. Kenny and Noah were awesome! They sound as good in person as they do on their recordings. The theater was beautiful.

Enjoyed the show. When we bought the tickets, it was billed as Kenny Wayne Shepherd, then later changed to Experience Hendrix. I am a long time KWS fan, and that was who I wanted to see. Was disappointed that KWS didn’t play more, and had to wait till the end of the show to see him.

The best concert I’ve seen this year! Keb’ Mo’ & his remarkably talented band gave a standout performance last night. Five part harmonies!! Everyone in Keb’s band plays an instrument AND sings. I’ve never seen/heard this before. It added tonal clarity and great musicianship that was magnificent.

The concert was excellent! Never have I seen two pianos play together like they did last night , especially not being in the same band and having done it for years. The night progressed so naturally, and as the night wore on, it was obvious that the spirit of the Lord was with us. Thank you for coming to Knoxville. The night was truly a blessing! Our prayers go with you as you share your love for the Lord in the nights and years to come. Johnny and Paula Jones

Great show in the Beautiful Tennessean Theater. Keen and his band were amazing. You could tell he was quite proud of Brian Bekkens play and each band member played and sang an original song. What a night !

Had an absolute blast, I See Stars was amazing live and getting to meet Devin at the merch table was a dream come true, super nice guy. Hoping to meet him again July 10th with Hawthorne Heights. (Hopefully get a picture with Devin this time.) (Please, I See Stars, come to Johnson City, Tn.)

Seeing in this moment was a bucket list item for me and they did not disappoint. They were just so amazing honestly one of the best live shows I've ever been to. So blesses to have got to see them with my daughter also. Can't wait to see them again.

This was my first time to see Bonnie. She sounded & played as good as she did 30 years ago! Her band was awesome too. A great show in a wonderful venue. So glad I finally got to see her live & will definitely do again any time I have the opportunity

Excellent show!! Really good set mix of both heavy and acoustic tunes. The venue is absolutely stunning and extremely clean. Being an old Shakespearean theater the isn't a bad seat in the house! My only small "complaint", if it can even be called that, is that the show was quite short compared to other shows I've seen. They hit the stage at 8pm and we're off the stage at 9:30pm. Still, looking forward to seeing them again next time they're in town! Definitely recommend others see this show in a small venue - the intimate setting really amped the crowd as we all had close seats 👍

ALICE COOPER IS THE BEST!! HE ALWAYS PUTS ON A FANTASTIC SHOW WITH ALL THE HITS & THROWS IN SOME SURPRISES!! GLEN,TOMMY,CHUCK,NITA& RYAN ARE REALLY VERY TALENTED & ROCK OUT!!! WILL SEE ALICE ANY TIME I CAN!!🎤🎸🥁

What a beautiful Theatre, Once again Cheap Trick put on a fantastic show!!! We had just saw them the night before in North Charleston South Carolina, They played another 20 song set that was aAmazing!!!

Great show. Robin Zander sounds incredible for his age. Rick Nielsen brought the fire with his guitar playing and his son Daxx killed it on the drums. Would be a perfect score if there were a few more songs from the latest album or other great later albums like Rockford or ‘97. But this is a great band that deserves WAY more love and recognition. To me they are the American equivalent of the Beatles. And I’m really happy I’ve finally gotten to see them live.

First…I couldn’t wait for this show to get here. These guys have always been one of my favorites. I told my wife this show was the best rock show I’ve seen in years. And there have been many. I mean, they are in their 70’s! Great set, great sound, great crowd, great venue. Thank you guys for a great night!

Absolutely fantastic show! I wish it could have gone on for ever. Cheap Trick have been joined by Robin Zander’s awesomely talented son, Robin Taylor Zander, known by his legions of fans as RTZ. There is nothing this extraordinary young guy can’t do. He is a multi-instrumentalist who writes, sings, and produces. He has an album coming out soon. Rick, Tom, Robin, and Daxx were brilliant as always. They appreciate their fans, who come back to see them time after time. They are terrific folks and consummate musicians. Go see ‘em!

I usually say what a great concert we saw last night. That’s not what this is about. Christone was as amazing as always. But this was Buddy’s night. The Christone "KINGFISH" Ingram / Buddy Guy concert last night at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville, TN was a history lesson. We were in the presence of a living legend. Buddy has been playing professionally since 1953. 70 years. One of the longest runs of any musician in history. He’s an icon and his concert last night was meant to teach you about the blues. He wants to teach you about Loving each other. He wants to teach you to follow your path no matter how hard that path is. He wants to have fun. At his age and his longevity he portrays that all onstage. He has EARNED the status of LEGEND. He hs earned the status of ICON. And he’s earned the status of INFLUENCER! He played deep Chicago style blues, he had fun with the crowd and he gave us, for an hour and a half, all the love and happiness that he could give. He even walked past us and the vibes coming from his guitar as he strolled past gave my soul a charge of electricity that only Buddy Guy could give. I didn’t get the chance to see B. B. Or Muddy Waters, or Lightning Hopkins..BUT I can say that I got to see Buddy Guy! Thank you Buddy for a life of blues music and for every influence that you have to Blues and Rock and Roll! God Bless and I hope to get to see you again! Even my wife, Jody, who is not a fan of blues, said that “Out of all the blues concerts that I’ve drug her to, this one was the best!” I’ll take thy as a win!

First show of the year, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd did not disappoint. The band put on an outstanding show, from the set list, stories, and overall performance. Both the band and the Tennessee Theatre are a must for anyone’s bucket list!
