A great artist with a superb band! Yet again, what should have been memorable night was spoiled in my opinion by incompitent sound engineers with an inappropriate sound system. I got the feeling this concert was done on the cheap! If the promoters want to be recognised as leaders in their field may I suggest they pay the same attention to the quality of their productions as they do to their marketing!
I never expected I would walk out on this legend but the human ear can only take so much...
Fabulous evening!

This was my first time seeing Al Jarreau live and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Al
is a great entertainer and clearly values both his band (superb musicians)
and the audience. He was warm and friendly and it was great to hear
music from across the decades. Highly recommended!
Al Jarreau concert

The concert did not get off to a great start. I thought it took a while for Al to
find his stride but then it was a delightful concert. He has a great back up
team but sometimes the sound was too loud and sometimes came
across as noisy more than musical. I have been an Al Jarreau fan for
almost 30 years and have many of his albums, including The Greatest
Hits, vol.1 and Tenderness, where a lot of the songs came from.
