Going to see Uli Jon Roth tonight. What do expect?

[Jchrisf]

Nothing suggests he is with anyone else that I have seen on my tickets. I think I am on the second row. Will it be really loud?

 

[buzzp]

If you're worried about noise, I would just bring ear buds. Go to concerts without expectations, that's the best way to do it!

 

[Echoplexi]

I would expect some kick ass guitar playing for sure!

 

[Yer Blues]

I'd expect Andy Timmons and Jennifer Batten to be with him....

 

[Jchrisf]

LOL.. I just looked up Andy Timmons site and he will be there too. There is a whole thread on this here I just didn't put it together because they haven't mentioned Timmons or Batton at all in the promotions here. Pleasant surprise. Definitely bringing ear buds.

Loud and impressive. Roth's ears are a bit burnt - and he turns it up.

 

[Gitarman]

Color me jealous! I'll be playing with my cover band just around the corner at Grill's on US1 tonight, otherwise I'd be right there with you.

FYI, from the King Ctr website:

Teaming up with Jennifer Batten and Andy Timmons, Uli Jon Roth presents an exciting new concept on stage: The Ultimate Guitar Experience

FWIW, I've seen and played several shows on that stage and would expect it to be LOUD in the 2nd row (not my pic):

I was there last week to see Robin Trower. Was in the balcony and it was loud. Don't know how we got seats so close for this one but maybe there is not going to be a big crowd. Robin only filled the bottom section and two rows of the balcony but there were a lot of empty seats in those areas.

I was at Grills two or three weeks ago and there was a band there on a Saturday night. Had a guitarist with a shaved head.. that wasn't you was it?

 

[Devnor]

Nice venue. Uli played a dumpy club called Trees so I didn't go.

 

[Yer Blues]

I think it is in the smaller Studio Theatre that seats only 250 or so people, not the bigger theatre. I haven't been to the smaller theatre, yet.... Is there even a smaller theatre there?

Not that I know of.. it's a shame these guys can't pack the crowds they use to pack.

Didn't even know it... been there for several shows the past few months and I've never heard of this area.

There are a few others threads. I wrote a short review and posted a video in one of them.

Oh, didn't realize that. That's a cool room (at least it used to be). Very intimate!

Nope, we were last there 4 weeks ago (3/12). Besides, I'm one hairy MoFo

LOL.. different band

 

[Bobby D]

it's gonna be COOL - and Uli's bass player is an old friend - Elliot Rubinson, the owner of Dean Guitars and the former owner of Thoroughbred Music - he's a pretty formidable bassist! I am completely envious of his life - not only did he run several successful music stores, but bought the Dean Guitars brand and brought it back from the dead to be one of the most successful companies in the biz, and now he gigs and tours professionally because he can....

Found it.. looks like it will be a good show

WOW!!! What a great show... I'll comment more when at my computer but does anyone know the name of this song? If you're wondering why the sound quality is so good it is because I was eight feet from a ten foot stack of PA speakers. Don't know how I keep it so still.

This is the song he's playing:
