Unfortunately, these guys must have started right on time, because I missed at least 3 of Mike McD's songs. Getting to the Greek via freeway sucks big time...too much traffic. Otherwise, the performances were great. Both of these guys still have nice voices. And, there's no bad seat in the Greek!
great venue. Seats were a great and at a bargain price for a top concert with top performers. L.A can sometimes be a real drag endless traffic, $15 to park on a park lawn that one pays taxes to maintain. But listening to the great music on a warm summer night at the intimate Greek theater is truly a special L.A. experience to be enjoyed to the fullest.
missed first song and half of second due to car accident and stalled traffic, got rerouted and not any easy, quick way to get to greek as such, was upset michael mcdonald was on first. concert was good though overall and seats good, not great.
Who would have thought that Michael McDonald was not the main act and that he would go on first. We missed most of the show due to horrific traffic and parking and so disappointed that we missed most of Michael's performance. Also the will call could not find our tickets so that took time away from show as well...
WE arrived 15 minutes late because of a traffic accident so wound up missing that much (& more) of Michael McDonald's act. Picking up tickets at W/C was fast and easy. Seats were good, not great. I def would like a chance to choose seats in the section we are assigned. People were sitting in our seats when we arrived. We just sat one row back --not a problem for us. Those seats at the Greek are REALLY close together.
McDonald's perf was good, his voice just as wonderful-- backup was so so. Horns were rather screechy in parts.
Now, Boz's set, on the other hand, was REALLY polished and enjoyable. His singer, MS. Monet, was BIG and had a wonderful voice to match. Guitars were smooth.
Parking is a problem at the Greek. Had to park a 1/4 mile from venue, in the dirt. Guess I'll go earlier next time!
The show was magnificent.
The bands were tight and the arrangements were without a doubt perfect.
We enjoyed the show..the parking left a lot to be desired.
Michael McDonald and Boz Scagges offered two delightful sets of music on a warm summer evening at the Greek Theatre. The final couple of songs were a collaborative effort and seemed to sum up the night on a perfect note. A most enjoyable experience.

Two unmistakable voices in American music, Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs, will be coheadlining at the Greek Theatre. Michael McDonald has been making music for over three decades. He first came to the forefront as the lead singer for the Doobie Brothers but continued on to pursue a successful solo career. McDonald is the creator of such hits as, “I Keep Forgettin,” the Grammy-winning “Yah Mo B There” and the #1 pop single “On My Own.” His latest album, Soul Speak, is the natural follow-up to McDonald’s two smash explorations of the Motown Records songbook—the platinum-selling Motown from 2003, which was nominated for two Grammy awards and 2004’s gold-selling Motown Two. McDonald has been awarded five Grammys during his illustrious career.
Multi-dimensional singer, Boz Scaggs is also a Grammy award winner and has been making hits since the 1970’s. His 1976 album Silk Degrees was one of the landmark pop titles of the decade and reached #2 on the album charts while spawning the Top Three single "Lowdown," as well as the smash "Lido Shuffle." 1977's Down Two Then Left was also a success and 1980's Middle Man reached the Top Ten on the strength of the singles "Breakdown Dead Ahead" and "Jo Jo." His latest album, Speak Low, is the sublime and sexy follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2003 standards collection But Beautiful.
