Imagine my complete disbelief and excitement when I saw Jamie and the boys were performing in little Concord, NH.....I grabbed tickets months ago (what? $40? I was ready to pay double that...) and went on to anyone who would listen how great this concert would be. My family and I drove the hour south last night and immediately raced to grab T's, posters and pins. The crowd waiting in the lobby seemed mellow....didn't they know this was JAMIE? My 12 and 14-year old's jaws dropped when the men finally ran onstage and launched into "Photograph." Unbelievable. Every song was astounding, and Jamie is actually quite funny as he tells stories about the songs he has written. "Liar Liar" showcased Jamie's guitar skills (the man plays everything he gets his hands on) and my 14-year-old son nearly died during "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. Jamie covered several popular songs as he drummed on the piano, making the crowd go wild. An hour and a half into the show, Jamie had everyone in the cozy theatre literally jumping to the beat, including my husband and a pregnant lady in front of us. I was waiting for the hilarious "Nothing I Do," but I can't complain that it was skipped because every song performed was even better than the recorded version (Jamie....any live CD coming out soon? Please?) The guys had numerous standing ovations, and Jamie proved how sweet he is by recognizing the band numerous times and even pulling a young budding pianist onstage to perform "I Get a Kick Out of You." Lucky, lucky! Jamie not only plays jazz, but hip-hop, funk, pop, opera (kidding...but he could). We talked about the show for the entire ride home, giving it an overall A+ rating. The best thing is that both little children and the elderly commented how fantastic the show was afterwards. Jamie, for one night you made everyone forget floods, wars and gas prices and instead just let go and have a complete blast. PLEASE come back to "CON-cerd" soon. DO NOT miss this gig for anything. What a party.

This was my first chance to see Jamie live and I was completely and utterly blown away. He is a powerhouse on stage, I cannot believe how long he played. It's a true treat for a concert goer to be able to walk away saying that I got to see a performance for a steal. I cannot wait to see Jamie and his band again, they are amazing!

I must say. That was one of the best concerts I have ever been too! Jamie was such a ball of energy up there on that stage. He's a fabulous dancer. It was an amazing show that even blew my father away. Thanks for coming to New Hampshire! We'd love to have you here again! PS: Great job saying Concord right, Jamie!

WOW!! Jamie and his band are "tremendously unbelievable". Too many highlights to list. To see an artist this talented in such a small, cozy venue was a real treat. Hands down the most entertaining show I've ever seen.

I canít wait for the guys to come back to the area again.. Hurry back ☺

Jamie was amazing,as always. I've had the good fortune of seeing Jamie twice before, both shows in Boston. Was thrilled to have him come to Concord and what a great venue, the sound carried so well and was lovely! First time seeing Rory on trumpet and he was phenomenal! The rest of the band brilliant as always :) Loved hearing "Mind Trick" and "Next Year Baby". Jamie keep doing what you're doing, you're so great! I'm actually headed to your Foxwoods concert tonight as well : ) I just can't get enough!

This was by far one of the most entertaining shows I have been to in years. The energy of Jamie and the entire band was spectacular. The talent of all the members was obvious in how well they played together. Typcial Jamie, he jumped off his piano, played multiple instruments and danced around alot. In such a small venue, this was a real treat. I cannot wait until he returns there again.

This is a late submission, but I just had to write in. This was one of the very very very best concerts I have ever seen. The energy was amazing, the band was incredible and Jamie was phenomenal. Highlights included having the audience sing in three part harmony, playing percussion on the piano, singing "I Only Have Eyes for You" and the dancing- oh the dancing. Jamie-thanks for making this forty-something feel like a twenty-something again!!! See these guys in concert- well worth the price of admission.

One of the best, if not THE best, live show I have ever been to. Jamie Cullum MUST NOT BE MISSED live (or on CD for that matter.) He's my favorite artist by far. A powerhouse and incredibly talented performer on several instruments, his ode to the Pussycat Dolls, tracks recorded on stage, and inviting an audience member up to play piano were tiny highlights of an incredible show that started with "Photograph," my all time favorite song. Thanks, and come back!
