The show was great in spite of the mediocre piano. Having Ben Cullum sing with Jamie was a treat. Doing part of the show from the audience was very effective and a nice surprise. Jamie was his energetic talented self and brought the full house down. A few of the high notes in "I'm all at sea" were hard to capture. All in all the show brought smiles and hope to the defeated gamblers in the crowd (not me!) Singing together toward the end was a fine way of saying thanks. The stage invasion made the girls happy! The song not done in five years was a teezer for more of the unheard ones. The various age groups in the audience were a testimony to the brilliance of Jamie's performance and the plurality of his repetoire. Thank You Jamie and band.

Jamie is a modern day marvel. I have had the opportunity to see some great performers over the course of my lifetime. I will have to readily admit that seeing Jamie for the first time will spoil most of those shows. Why you ask? Now I will compare every show I see to the raw entertaining talent of Jamie. Lets take a look at some of the highlights: -Duet with Sonya Kitchell -Ben "Jamies brother" came out and sang with Jamie -Jamie brought his band into the crowd, with saxophone, snare kit, and horn. -Incredible Jeff Buckley tune -short rendition of Pussycat Dolls -High & Dry cover off Twentysomething -Encore with stage invasion in which Jamie invited the crowd to come up on stage!! So as you can see this night was incredible! I just purchased Live at Ronnie Scott's to hold me over till the next time Mr. Cullum comes around. If you missed this show you missed out on one of Jamie's great performances!

A most amazing show! It was the second time in a week that my wife and I were lucky enough to see Jaimie. He is the ultimate performer. He is incredibly talented and possesses boundless energy. If you haven't seen one of his shows you don't know what you're missing! He engages the audience like no other performer. It was one of the best concerts I have ever been to!

The first time we saw Jamie was on a cable music station and he was performing the Blenhem Palace Show. Last night, we saw him at Foxwoods Casino. It was amazing! There was not one part of the show that wasn't exciting. His creativeness of his performance got my attention. As a piano player of 9 years and almost turning 17, his piano skills challenge me to try harder on the piano. What REALLY surprised me was at the end when he got people on the stage with him! Not only that, but i enjoyed it when he was singing " Don't cha" with his own lyrics " Don't you wish your boyfriend was short like me?". It was really amusing. Jamie has an unique style of music and performing in front of an audience. Some of his piano techniques are techniques that my piano teacher would probably yell at me if i ever attempted( like running to the piano and then playing it. Or using the stool or his foot.)! Yet his techniques are very unique.Jamie got my dad really excited and yelling...even singing. That was the first time I ever heard my dad sing out loud. I hope that Jamie Cullum performs somewhere closer to where I live in the future( like somewhere in Hartford) But, I will never forget this experience of seeing Jamie in concert. Good Job!

I was blown away by the performance! I only wish he and his band had plans to play in New York. I have a list of people that I'd love to take! BRAVO!

This was my third Cullum show this week--sixth total. And, to Jamie's credit--no two are ever alike! The only other person able to pull this off, (without appearing like an amateur jam session), in my opinion, is Springsteen. And, I NEVER thought there'd be another "Boss"--EVER. The set list, amount of audience bantor, decisions to come out in the crowd with different band members--all depend upon Jamie's mood that day. The fact that the band, Jamie, and the fans are all "surprised" at the same time makes the experience all the more intimate, for me anyway. Jamie's voice seemed a bit tired, but his spirit and effort, as always, were tireless. It's the most "rebellious" I've seen him, which was great for the audience, who got to jump on stage and dance with the band. Bringing out Ben was a rare treat (again, just another impromptu whim of Jamie's, that the fans were "let in on"). Seeing the two brothers perform together-- I can't help but wonder why Ben isn't a permanent part of the touring band?! Nice job, Ben! Another amazing, enjoyable, entertaining show. Jamie and the gang NEVER disappoint! I was sitting next to an obvious "high roller" who was comped his cushy seat in the front section. He turned to me before the show and said, "This guy any good?" I said, "You have NO idea!" At the end of the show, he said, "Doll, you were right! This guy IS good!" Chalk up another unsuspecting fan!

this was such a fun show. one of the great moments was when jamie's brother ben joined him onstage to sing "these are the days"- it was unplanned but sounded excellent. Also jamie did a duet with opening performer sonia - he took his band out into the crowd; and called the audience up onstage during the encore. jamie is an excellent entertainer, musician and singer.

By far this was the best concert I've EVER been too! Jamie's energy is contagious! The best part was when Jamie invited everyone on stage to dance and sing with him and the band! Incredible! It was such a memorable concert and I hope to see them again in the near future. THANK YOU!

This was entirely worth the six hours of driving with a broken a/c in the car. I was sitting in awe, mouth open, while he played Lover, You Should've Come Over. I got shivers when he played You Don't Know What Love is. It wasn't as high energy as the last Jamie gig I went to, but the previous two songs more than made up for that. Everytime I see him, I'm just simply amazed. Wish it could have been longer!

Two of my three sisters and I went to see Jamie last night and were floored by his stage presence, energy and talent! He was phenomenal. His voice sounded amazing and he totally got the audience excited and involved in the show. The Brazilian drum section at the end of the show was a high energy boost that propelled the show out of the realm of ordinary. It was the best 22 dollars we ever spent!! Love you ten times more now, Jamie!!

Jamie,yet another amazing performance! The Jeff Buckley cover was a real treat as was "Under My Skin"! I followed a group of crazy fans and got to meet Jamie after the show where he was gracious enough to take pictures with me and autograph my CD's. What a great guy he is, very genuine, appreciative and down to earth. A particular highlight of my evening was sharing a surreal conversation with Seb about Boston bars. The opener, Sonya Kitchell, is an amazing talent; if you haven't heard of her do yourself the favor! Her band sounded great as well. I think I am becoming a crazy Jamie fan! Thanks for the great performance again! : )

Jamie won my heart all over again at Foxwoods with his sublimely beautiful performance of "You Don't Know What Love Is." Just enthralling, ethereal, magnificent. And out of the blue! These unexpected moments at Jamie's shows are always such a special treat. And "I've Got You Under My Skin" ñ never expected to hear that one live, either! Thank you, Jamie! We were also treated to a rare appearance by Jamie's brother, Ben Cullum, who took the lead vocal on his composition, "These are the Days," with Jamie singing harmony ñ another unexpected delight. Special mention of the opening performer, Sonya Kitchell, who, at the unbelievable age of only 17, is already a major talent, a very talented songwriter and a very promising singer ñ she basically blew me away. Jamie and co. seem to have quite a knack for showcasing excellent, upcoming performers as opening acts. Something else I hadn't yet seen at a Jamie gig was the incredible crush of fans who, at Jamie's invitation, took the stage for the last number ñ looked like a real Mardi Gras up there! Although Jamie's set was somewhat truncated by venue time constraints, still, it was a good time ñ never anything less at a Jamie performance.

This was the third time I have seen Jamie in concert. I had a second row seat which was fabulous. I was one of the insane fans who joined him on stage at the end of the show. What a blast!
