There was lots of good humour evident on stage and I couldn't fault the actual performance but it was VERY LOUD! Several people left the auditorium midway though the set and the person I was with had to get up and stand at the back due to the noise. I was also hoping that Sonny Landreth would 'open up' but his playing was rather subdued all evening, except towards the end of the set. I have loved John for a number of years and it won't put me off seeing him again but I just felt that the volume marred what was otherwise an excpetional gig. 28765@blogcritics.org Sun, 16 Nov 2003 23:23:42 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/06/02/183432.php#comment-27863 I am travelling to London tomorrow to see John Hiatt and The Goners with Robert Cray as opening act. I have been a HUGE fan of both artists for a long time now but have a preference towards John. I have seen Robert several times and sorta know what to expect but I have yet to see John. I know that Sonny will be on slide guitar and that will surely create some atmospherics and histrionics no doubt but it's the raucous voice and dextrous playing of John that I am going there for. I'll let you know how it went. 27863@blogcritics.org Sun, 9 Nov 2003 18:05:07 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/06/02/183432.php#comment-12493 I am a long time fan of john hiatt, and debated whether to see him again in Troy, I'm only in the next city over. And yes, the acoustics are awesome there.. The past few times I saw him, he was solo. He does a great concert solo and with a bad. I'm glad to see a review from the show, besides the local paper. I am off to New Hampshire at the end of July to see him with the Goners, and opening up is Robert Cray. He's that good of a show, for someone to travel out of state to see. Anyone wants info on the NH concert, email me. Maybe I'll load up the car with other fans. 12493@blogcritics.org Sun, 6 Jul 2003 23:12:20 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/06/02/183432.php#comment-12492 I am a long time fan of john hiatt, and debated whether to see him again in Troy, I'm only in the next city over.

The thing I like best about Hiatt is he just keeps getting better with age. How many can say that? 10401@blogcritics.org Mon, 2 Jun 2003 19:12:31 EDT
