Really liked this show. Opening act with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

Nice show, not a full house. Sound wasn't perfect.

We sat in the second row directly below the Dr. I was a wierd perspective. Him lookin down at us like we are the ones in the cage, not him. Loved the show.

Steve Earle & the Dukes

Hersheypark Star Pavilion

Earle said, "Get me an electric guitar!" Great show, first time we ever saw Steve. they really rocked on Copperhead Road and Transcendental Blues.

State College HS Auditorium

With the Krugers. these guys drove from Bristol, TN to State College to play a 25 minute show. Then go home.

A giaint stake of amplifiers and speaker cabinets - it was loud

Station Square Amphitheater

Can't get no...satisfaction Headlined with Hot Tuna

Donna alaways puts on a great show. I do prefer them in a full dance setting. But this night it was positive vibes and lots of smiles from the mostly older audience.

Nice show, but slow. Grisman's playing was really fine

Station Square Amphitheater

Warmed up for Wier and Wasserman

Great show with a band. Barb Reeves organized the tickets. We had a great time. And were home by 11!

They opened with their semi-classical opus piece that is boring. The second set was more classic Krugers.

Friends School Auditorium

Three Rivers Stadium

Best Dead warmup (except Sting)

Great left handed soul with James Brown and Rare Eath

Yonder Mountain String Band

With Sam Bush sitting in. One of my all time best shows**

David Bromberg Quartet

Nate Grower on Fiddle really helps. he was very good. David did one new tune. i've seen him better,but still enjoyable. I always love, 'Tongue.'

Center for Well Being

These guys were good. Gonna hear more from this band.

Tedeschi Trucks Band

State Capitol Complex Forum

Great blue eyed blues. Derek Trucks can really play. The band was fabulous

Nice solo show. He played Comin Into LA and told funny stories. A Reflective show.

This band was not as good as I expected. Tedious vocals. But the Mandolin player was ridiculous.

Sat on the floor towards the back.

David Bromberg Big Band

My third time to see him. He is still great. The room was perfect for his acoustic show.

Jazz Mandolin Project

We were a little disappointed.

Center for Well Being

Kinda odd show where Verlon kind of described his life in words and song. Fortunately, he play a bunch of my favorite tunes. No PA system was used, truly acoustic

Okay show at an okay venue. Dinner & A Show.

Very interesting show. I still like Eilen and Jerry Miller best with Eilen's Band.

I just did not like these guys. Now two tries and it still is just one nice little groove over and over. Nice bass player

This band tried to play funk and weren't funky? Why would Lucinda have a mediocre band as her semi permanent warm up group.

This show was fantastic. Fabulous band with a killer guitar player. She played 'em all and rocked out. One of my best ever - and that's saying a lot!

Tedeschi Trucks Band

Nice show, but i liked my first trip into the 'downsized' BJC. Nice Acoustics.

I thought they were okay, but my wife did not like them much. I admit that I have seen this band in much better form at festivals

warmed up for Edgar Winter

Yonder Mountain String Band

Very entertaining show with the new configuration. Allie Kral on fiddle and Jake on mando contributed much to the band. They needed these guys. Good show for a new band!

Only partially counts because I was among a small mob of kids who did not have tickets to the sold out show. Eventually... I got in to hear 3-4 songs.

Warmed up for Outlaws

Certain not quite as enjoyable than the first time.

Doug Kershaw also was there.

What a weird and fun fiddle plyer. He warmed up for Buffett and JJ Walker. Diggy Liggy Lo

Went with my friend Steve Shirk. 'the little beatles'

Jesus is just alright. Warmed up for Loggins & Messina

Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni ba with Bela Fleck

Big African man in a bright blue robe rocking out on an electric gourd. His wife was hypnotizing with both her movements and her song. Oh, Bela rock too!

Warmed up for Larry Coryell. He is always great.

David Bromberg Quartet

Little Buffalo State Park

Always great to see David, but the show was a bit flat

Little Buffalo State Park

Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

Stokely Athletic Center

With It's a Beautiful Day and Poco

Warmed up for allmans

With Doobies and Loggins and Messina

Stokely Athletic Center

Johnny Staats & the Delivery Boys

Johnny plays everything fast. Love the band too.

Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen

Really enjoyed this show. They played an interesting version of 'July You're A Woman' Great band too.

Lucinda is sublime. I never tire of her material. Great show with her wonderful band. Went with Dan & Sue.

Nice instrumental jaz rock. These guys double as Lucinda Williams band.

Eilen glowed on stage. Her little baby agrees with her. The music is still great. And nobody plays surfer guitar better than the great Jerry Miller.

Hiatt was sublime. Great band, great songs. We took Barb and Don who had never seen John before. I will continue to pay to see this old rocker with lots of taste and energy

Taj was good, but his show is giving away his age. Perhaps the last time we will pay to see him. Perhaps at a festival

A very nice show that was curious in that Angeleena looked young and hot, but was 39 and hot! Her songs were topical, edgy and good. I'd see her again. She was/is in the Pistol Annie's with Miranda Lambert and Ashley Monroe.

Great show! Thorn completely captivated the crowd. His daddy was a preacher & his uncle was a pimp. He rocked the house and his band was great. Second time I've seen Paul and will pay to see him again.

Sebastian and Grisman

Each guy did a show with the other backing up. Kinda weird

Larry Keel Experience

Nice show. But the room was so loud from the crowd talking and eating. The place has no acoustics at all. Sorry Tim Bowser.

They have possibilities. More time

Yonder Mountain String Band

Again I was underwhelmed by the 'new' Yonder. Very Little Energy anymore. Allie Kral was the shining star that was reaching the crowd

Fabulous show with Mike Barnett on fiddle and on mandolin plus Tony's always great banjo playing. First time to Abbey Bar. We liked it very much.

Hot Buttered Rum String Band

Certainly not the same band as 8 years ago. Both original mandolin/fiddlers are gone and so are the old catchy songs a spacey jams. Too bad!

Danny Barnes, Joe K Walsh, Grant Gordy

Elk Creek Brewery & Tavern

Nice show and the crowd was not a obnotious and loud as it usually is. Danny was fine, not his best. The other boys impressed me. I've seen them many times before in other bands.

I enjoyed the set. Sort of like the way Yonder did a show. At then, it became tedious during a very extended version of Rag Doll. I'd still pay to see him again. I wish Ryan Cavanaugh (banjo) would have been in the band rather than the dobro play

Really loved the Travelins. They are a sharp tight band with great vocals shared by Ronnie, Jason Carter, and Alan Bartran. Wonderful entertainment. They actually rock out!!

Almost good I get what they are trying to do with a tex-mex kind of americana sound. They just don't pull it off just yet. The woman who featured on a bunch of instruments was very pregnant. She said it was their last show before maternity leave.

Another great show by these guys.Sublime. We've seen this band 18 times over 17 years. The never disappoint!

She was fine. She is becoming a bit more edgy as she grows up. She plays the mandolins as well as she sings - she's really good!

Elk Creek Brewery & Tavern

Danny Barnes, Joe K. Walsh, Grant Gordy – they were wonderful. Lots of tunes from his early Sugar Hill days. Very accessible. Time flew by quickly.

Elk Creek Brewery & Tavern

Danny, Joe K. Walsh, Grant Gordy – they were wonderful. Lots of tunes from his early Sugar Hill days. Danny and Corey Walker played a great double banjo piece.

Tony Trischka & Friends

Terrific show at the Abbey Barr. My wife takes banjo lessons from Tony. It was a thrill to see him perform with this terrific band of Dominic Leslie - mandolin; Mike Barnett – fiddle; Tony Trischka – banjos. Tony has great taste in music and doe

These guys are consistently good. Their musicianship has improved. They even played nice instrumentals. Trent's writing is inspired. A really nice show in a Menno community by a Menno band.

Rhiannon is a wonderfuly skilled vocalist with a big voice. Her show was sometimes like a revival. Other times it was like a social awareness campaign. Throughout, the music was great. The band was tight. And fans came away with a refreshed attit

Elk Creek Brewery & Tavern

Much Better than the last time we saw him. He's maturing. Less cocky and more jammy. The jams were fine but sometimes way to long and lost along the way. Overall a good show. Best sound I have ever heard at Elk Creek on this day.
