Crest Theatre

Superb show with exceptional musicians that are artists in their own right. Justin Hayward was, of course, the voice of the Moody Blues which I have followed and admired over the years. The set list did not disappoint bringing back a wave of memories as well as some newer songs that will surely become some of my favorites.

Justin’s remark about music in one’s youth as the defining experience is spot on judging by my boomer contemporaries in the audience. A treat to hear so many of his songs, especially those he said were his favorites but not on the hit charts. So much love in the audience and reflected back in Justin & his band’s performance. The medley: The day we meet again/one lonely room/out and in/in my world/meanwhile brought me to tears. And Question of course. I hope we meet again in Sacramento.

I am almost without words! He was fantastic and beyond!❤️❤️ Being a senior citizen, I have to be careful about money. I am a Smokey Robinson fan to the T and usually I just go see Smoke. But I have added Brian to my must see list. He had my 77 year old husband doing the boogie! What a great night we had. Be sure to tell him thank you for us and we will see him again. Hopefully the next time around, I can my grown kids and teenage grandkids! They will love it!❤️ Hugs and stay safe. Keep playing!! Mary Ann Carlton

That was the absolute best concert ive ever attended! The lighting, spacing of musicians, the individual musicians themselves, the seating, the interaction of the musicians, the concessions! And Brian!!!!! Play That Funky Music White Boy!

I've been waiting to see Pat Metheny since 1972. He didn't let me down. I've been a fan of his music forever. He played an amazing collage of his music and was accompanied by some of the most talented musicians I've ever seen and heard. I'm awaiting his return to the Sacramento area.

great voice and guitar. instrument sound mix was so loud it swallowed the vocals. second show in a row at the crest that this occured. can the guitar volume come down when there is vocalization?

Well, it was a good show all in all. The theater itself was a great venue, & nice acoustics too! Enjoyed listening to The Empty Pockets perform for the first 1/2 hour by themselves only. But then, after the intermission, was nice to see Al Stewart perform with them all together. He's also quite a humorous storyteller as well!! I had never attended one of his concerts before, but had long wanted to do so, (was glad wife & I were able to have the opportunity to enjoy the experience).

Wonderful Concert. Tab is an amazing guitar player. He is so exciting and absolutely spreads! Cory is a great bass player and a complete showman! The partnership for 30 yrs shows! The drummer pi’s perfectly straightforward. Keeps it going the whole show. What a great concert, 5 Stars!

They always put on a great show! Performed all their hits. The crowd enjoyed the show and many were dancing near the front of the stage. Thanks Glen, Dean, and Todd for a memorable evening.

The show was pretty great. Wasn't too thrilled about the usher stopping me from filming. C'mon man? Al's heyday is long gone. I did get one song filmed. Wasn't even my goal. People should know what to expect for their money. Crowd was great. Average age was 70, I'd say. His story about the end of Mediterranean Sundance is B.S. They rushed through it so fast that I left before they finished. Sadness because the rest of the show was fairly spot on. One song from Elegant Gypsy was MS. Another sadness seeing as that's what sold the most. Whatever...

Sam was great! The guy is just genuinely hilarious. Riffed on a number of topics and had funny observations one after another. Dealt with some clown in the audience with ease. His opener I had seen before too and he was funny as well. Well worth a visit!

This was hands down the best show I’ve ever seen (and I see a lot of great live music). Black Violin has amazing energy! I just left and can’t wait until the next time they’re in town.

I really love the theater. It was very ornate and gorgeous. I love the smaller more intimate venues, so it was perfect. Mike love who opened for Stephen Marley was absolutely incredible. He had me in tears a few times from the beauty and love he was giving. Before Stephen took the stage they burnt sage in a pot. 🫶🏻 very healing beautiful energy!

An amazing guitarist and a great band. Kenny Wayne gives a show that drives the crowd out of their seats and up to the edge of the stage. The songs from “blue on black” to the Hendricks covers all the way to the latest music run the emotions and joy of music unlike any other. This is a group to go see any night.

Jackie Green and the rest of the band were just outstanding! I had never heard of him until recently and I was just amazed on how talented this man is!! Thank you Jackie Green and band for one of the best New Year’s Eve I’ve had!!!

Great to see that he is embracing young virtuosos and giving them exposure. I loved the diversity brought through the inclusion of the tabla and violin. The joyful interplay and competition among the performers brought fun and interest. I appreciated the time he spent on standup and his eclectic song list. The audience's enthusiasm was obviously appreciated by Stanley and his band.

I've been waiting to see Pat Metheny since 1972. He didn't let me down. I've been a fan of his music forever. He played an amazing collage of his music and was accompanied by some of the most talented musicians I've ever seen and heard. I'm awaiting his return to the Sacramento area.

This should say 5 stars! Damn app. He gave us a truly great show. His band was talented and the instrumentation was a compliment, never dominant. Except I adored the drummer/percussionist. He was dryly funny and he loved that we were so thrilled to see him—mutual appreciation.

At 71 years, Dennis DeYoung prides himself in singing all the songs in their original keys, and I have to say he’s still got it! While it’s truly sad he isn’t with Styx, his band is nothing to sneeze at. They opened with the entire Grand Illusion album, while the 2nd set was Styx’s greatest hits. No Dennis solo tunes this time around, but what a night!
