Milwaukee here I come from Nashville, Tennessee. -George Jones MARCH 28 WEDNESDAY 8:00 THE PABST THEATER 144 E. Wells St. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 414-286-3663 TICKETS: Minimal availability SEATING CAPACITY: 1443 / SOLD OUT! ![]() HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS: http://www.tripadvisor.com/LocalMaps-g6009...eater-Area.html THE PABST THEATER: ![]() As the Spring thaw hopefully is beginning in Milwaukee on March 28, Taylor Hicks will perform at the city’s “jewel box”, the Pabst Threatre, built in the tradition of the great European opera houses. ![]() “Its opulent Baroque interior includes an Austrian crystal chandelier, a staircase crafted from white Italian Carrara marble, and a proscenium arch — highlighted in gold leaf — framing the stage.” The Pabst Theatre rose from the ashes of a fire that destroyed the former New German City Theatre, built by brewing magnate Captain Frederick Pabst. When he learned of the fire while abroad, he cabled, “Rebuild immediately!” ![]() “The auditorium is drum shaped with two balconies, and stunningly decorated in reds and maroons with gold and silver accents. A magnificent crystal chandelier that weighs over two tons hangs over the auditorium. Measuring twelve feet in width by sixteen feet high, it is lowered to seat level once a year so that its 33,000 running inches of Austrian crystal can be cleaned.” For more information about Milwaukee’s jewel box and to see pictures go to: http://www.pabsttheater.org/pabst-about.html OPENING ACT: Michael Warren: See previous posts or Opening Acts Thread for more infomation SETLIST : Soul Thing -Night Life (Willie Nelson) Give Me Tonight Hell Of A Day Wherever I Lay My Hat - Nightshift (The Commodores) - He Stopped Loving Her Today (George Jones) -Chain Gang (Sam Cooke) Heart and Soul -Can’t Trust Your Neighbor (Johnnie Taylor) -Brown Eyed Handsome Man (Chuck Berry) Just To Feel That Way Gonna Move -Harlem/Cold Baloney (Bill Withers) - Movin On Up (Ja’net DuBois/Jeff Barry) The Deal Going Mobile ( The Who ) Dream Myself Awake Heaven Knows -Ain’t That Peculiar (Marvin Gaye) The Maze - Rough God Goes Riding (Van Morrison) w/scatting with Brian G. -Mystic Church (Van Morrison) -Let’s Get It On (Marvin Gaye) The Right Place The Runaround Encore: Badge ( Cream ) REVIEWS: JS ONLINE: ENTERTAINMENT: MUSIC: E-MAIL | PRINT THIS STORY Ex-'Idol' Hicks loves his work By TIM CUPRISIN tcuprisin@journalsentinel.com Posted: March 29, 2007 If you went to Taylor Hicks' show Wednesday night at the Pabst Theater expecting an "American Idol" rerun, you might have been disappointed. Taylor Hicks performs at a sold-out show at the Pabst Theater on Wednesday evening. Hicks mixed pop with rock standards. In fact, the Fox TV show that made Hicks a national celebrity was mentioned only in passing as he thanked the full house at the Pabst for last year's votes. Hicks had work to do Wednesday, and he wasn't going to let some old television show get in the way of the job he's been working at for a decade. The salt-and-pepper hair that seemed out of place on a TV stage full of teens was just the right seasoning for Hicks' stage act. His long years of performing were most evident during an energetic take on The Who's "Going Mobile," a highlight of an entertaining 90-minute set. That '70s number showcased Hicks' own easy singing and guitar-playing. Maybe most importantly, it demonstrated Hicks' ability to back off and let the members of his talented band get their moments in the spotlight. That's not "Idol" stuff. That's a working man in the music business with a healthy respect for the folks playing alongside him. But let's be clear: This wasn't just a workmanlike performance. Hicks is an experienced professional, comfortable in his performing, but never just going through the motions. In addition to Hicks' rocker side on "Going Mobile," he demonstrated his ability to do the pop-sounding cuts from his self-titled album; and he showed his true love when he exploded into a number of soul tunes. Those numbers often included appetizing snippets of songs like Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang" and even the theme from "The Jeffersons." Hicks is a performer who seems to live for his time on stage, working himself into a sweat that soaked through his shirt and into his gray jacket. And the harder he worked Wednesday night, the more he seemed to enjoy himself. SOUL PATROL MEMORIES: courtesy of loripjm1. Folks! That concert is obviously his element. There should not be one ticket left, in any venue, anywhere. If you have not seen Taylor Hicks perform live, find a place to go now and do it. If you have to give up lunch money and “pay the devil”, do it now. I’m telling you all, it will be with you forever. Not exaggerating!!! courtesy of jampack842. Now the show. Michael W. GREAT again. Absolutely wonderful. Then Taylor comes out. The crowd is definitely more livelier than GB but still sitting. ??? I don’t know why. No clue but again, I’m defending us Wisconsin people. We really DO know how to have fun. The setlist was a bit different tonight than in GB. No “Run Baby Run”. Oh, I forgot to mention that in GB we got 2 copies of the setlist, Lorens and the guitarists. Taylor signed both for us. The highlight of the night again for me was “The Maze”. That song on cd is my favorite but live….BLOWS me away!!! Afterward we go up by the stage and Loren hands Britni a guitar pick. courtesy of loripjmGoing Mobile credit to Ganna5876 Heaven Knows : credit to: wildrose76 The Maze credit to : wildrose76 Dream Myself Awake credit to : itily224 |
