joan did a wonderful job and in many respects her arrangements were much more involved and well done than rufus’. his guitar work was amateurish at best; good voice though.. yes i was there and it was overall a great show and evening

I just got home from his second night in Austin. He was awsome. This was the best show I have ever seen. His emotion behind his music is very moving..

He’s such a brilliant musician and a totally engaging performer. The show sounds delightful.

I loved his voice and the sound in that place was awesome. I saw Rufus 2 years ago at Nokia with a full band and it was phenomenal. I really wish the band had come along…however, he is such a talent, it was still an awesome show. Policewoman sucked! I am sorry, she seemed very nice but she did one melancholy dronish song after the other. I couldn’t wait for her to stop. I was so disappointed that Fine Frenzy didn’t open for him like they did at Nokia. If I hadn’t seen him prior, I guess I wouldn’t know what I was missing. We paid a lot of money to sit front row right, and I could see his every move…quite a good looking man. We (and about 100 other people) waited after the concert for him to greet his fans (like over an hour) and he snuck out another door. That was very disappointing because I have met several artists at Bass Hall after the concert. But, there were stalkers out there (gay men) waiting to jump his bones. Maybe he was scared. I still love Rufus, even though he didn’t want to meet and greet!

Joan as Policewoman has yet to move me. She opened for Rufus in Houston when the Want One Cd came out, and man oh man, it was torturous! But Rufus himself was feeling the blues, too, and at the end of the show I felt like I’d paid $34 bucks to be his therapy.
