I have dreamed of seeing Pink Martini for many years after hearing Hold On Little Tomato! This show was magical. Incredible musicians, humor, audience involvement, the larger than life Storm Large! And then I found myself in an onstage conga line, surrounded by the happy faces of musicians and lovers of Pink Martini!
This concert was amazing. In my top 5 of all time. His music with the symphony was just amazing. The acoustics of the venue made the concert sound unbelievable. Only wish he would have played longer. So many more songsthat I would have liked to heard.
The Ranky Tanky show was a thrill to see & hear and the Gailliard Auditorium is a piece of art. The special guest singer "Lisa Fischer' was an added pleasant surprise as she was fantastic. I wish that the group would have stayed a little closer together on the stage as they were spread apart.
The place was so beautiful!! Toby did an amazing job. I loved every single moment of it and most of so did my daughter. Thank you for the great memories Toby!
I had been wanting to see Normal Brown since before the pandemic. So, when I received the email that he was coming to Charleston, SC, I booked my flight from DC just to come to see him. He did not disappoint. I went back to my hotel afterward (a little sleepy) but went to sleep thinking about the show and how much I enjoyed it. These were the best air and hotel points I utilized to come to see someone I've admired for years.
Thank you, Norman Brown, for sharing stories about how you started in the basement with your dad (playing chords) as he charmed you with the possibility of getting the car:)- I love it. Hats off to your dad for planting the seeds of greatness in you.
The performance by Black Violin was 5 star but some of the people attending the performance made it less enjoyable. We had very good seats in the orchestra section but the people who came in late and sat in front of us and next to us t(hey were together) were annoying. They were constantly talking on their cell phones and the man who sat in front of me was vaping with his girlfriend!
Eventhough the performers encouraged dancing, it made it hard for the rest of us who remained seated to see.
The ushers were very coopertive and helpful in helping us find other seats after we complained about the people around us.
The Gaillard made it very clear that masks were required but there were many attendees who came in without masks and did not wear masks during the performance.
Finally, in my opinion, drinks should not be allowed inside while a performance is going on. The atmosphere was more like being at a club rather than a concert. We traveled from Irmo, SC to enjoy the Black Violins and because of the things I have mention, the experience was less than enjoyable. I will not attend another Black Violin concert at the Gaillard.
