the event was great. However, the dinner service was very poor. I ordered some food and did not receive my meal. I was'nt notified that the food wasn't going to be served. They need more waitresses other than that, the concert was great.
Although Chicago Blues Reunion seems to have a great line-up, some of the main players were not in attendance including Corky Siegal, Sam Lay and Tracy Nelson. Moreover, the band only played for an hour and half before they were rushed out to make way for Safari Sam's DJ club scene. Had this been a full show with many of the blues greats that Chicago Blues Reunion is known for the experience would have been worth the money. Unfortunately, it was not.
The band was great. The venue was unorganized, food terrible, but serving people carried on with great energy. The guy who runs this joint needs to be fired. Keep the staff, lose the management...did I say management?
Theatrical performances, opera, spoken word and every imaginable genre of music are offered in abundance. Of course, not all of these entertainment options are offered at the same location. At least not until Safari Sam's, a new nightclub and performing arts center, is scheduled to open.
