I know some things about the musicians that played with George and Al. I was able to talk to them while they were in Australia. Here’s the list:
Larry Williams: piano
Thom Hall: keyboards
Stanley Banks: bass
Mark Simmons: drums
Mike O’Neill: guitar/vocals
Chris Walker: bass/vocals
Joe Turano: keyboards/sax/vocals

1st call lads, all of them!

Please … someone tell me, how was the concert ?

Did AJ sing any oldies like Roof Garden or Mornin’ ? Or was it all newer material?
How were the musos ? What was the atmosphere like?

many thanks

Hi Melinda,
How very spontaneous and random of your friend, ha ha, good stuff, the world needs more hugging! :D

I saw this on the mellen events website:

6.15PM: MARK SHOLTEZ
7.30PM: AL JARREAU/GEORGE BENSON

Other than that I can’t help you, but maybe try contacting mellen events…

my friend went to this last night and she wants to know the name of the band that played before george benson, on the way out of kings park the band was randomly standing on the side of the road and she jumped out of her car and hugged the guitarist, so any info would be great
thanks

I don’t know, but my guess would be above $90….. That seems to be the norm these days, about 90 to 110 dollars…. I really don’t know for sure though, we’ll have to wait and see when tickets go on sale on Tuesday.

Anyone know how much the tickets are????? I have been an AJ fan for years and would not want to miss out because of cost -

Can’t perform miracles either, but I can suggest that it would be worth flying to another venue if you can’t make it to the Perth concert:

Sunday March 25 Festival Theatre, Adelaide

Wednesday March 28 Sydney Entertainment Centreâ€™s Harbour Theatre, Sydney

Friday March 30 WIN Entertainment Centre, Wollongong

Saturday March 31 Palais Theatre, Melbourne

Tuesday April 3 Civic Theatre, Auckland

Oh how typical!
I can’t perform miracles, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! :)

This is wonderful and depressing news for me.
I am a huge AJ fan and have been dying to see him in concert.
Unfortunately I have promised to perform at a friend’s 50th birthday party and cannot attend.
This is seriously not very funny and I hope and pray a miracle happens so that I can attend to witness what is sure to be a Fantastic concert – even if they just performed as a duo it would be out of this world !

Please someone send me a miracle !!
