Stephen Stills and Judy Collins Reviews

COLLINS STEALS THE SHOW

Judy was...well Judy. She can still sing and play. Her vocals carried the group through the entire set. Stephen was NOT good...at all. His timing was poor and his play sloppy. I'm really hoping he was feeling under the weather. Otherwise, Stills has lost his mojo...

STILLS COLLINS SHOW

We sat in the first row of the riser section, maybe 21 B. Great view with no blockage. Opener Kenny Whites was great with the a udience! Worth a listen For Sure. Stills I have been a fan of since the Springfield days and we were somewhat disappointed. His guitar work is not up to his level. His voice was very hard to understand and his timing was not good. The band sounded unpracticed and unrehersed. It seemed kind of last minute, like they had never played with Stills. Or Stills couldn't keep up. Or age, something that affects us all. Judy was just Exactly what I expected and only hoped for; Elegant , beautiful and that voice so sweet and high ! We would like to see Miss Collins again but we'd like to see her alone.

STILLS SOUNDING GARBLED

For all those folks complaining that Stills sounded garbled. He did, because he had a stroke. Would you be willing to go back on tour if you had a stroke and knew you didn't 'sound right'? It takes guts to get back in the saddle after something like that. And know that the audience is expecting you to sound just like the record. Get real folks, these guys are old, just like us, and they ain't gonna sound like the 40+ year old recordings. Just be thankful they still go out and do their thing.

STEPHEN STILLS AND JUDY COLLINS

I went in with high expectations and was largely disappointed. Stills hasn't weathered well, but even when he hit the old sound, his voice doesn't go with Collins' voice. He may have been better paired with a different singer. His stories were rambling and hard to understand. He didn't even seem physically comfortable on stage except during the big guitar solo. Collins was great. I would have preferred hearing an evening of her singing her songbook mixed with new things like the a cappella number about immigration. The opening act, Kenny White, was excellent. These are world class musicians. While their history together is a compelling jumping off point, they have to understand that this pairing doesn't work as entertainment.

STILLS AND COLLINS SARASOTA, FORWHAT IT’S WORTH

Rambling somewhat incoherent stories, al ost like they were high.. Stills’ voice is gone, guitar just ok. Collins voice good and clear on a few of her solos was only highlight. . Their harmonies were not very good together. Song selection decent but some clunkers. Some arrangements were less than enjoyable. Overall a disappointment

NOT GREAT

We went to see Judy Collins at the Kravis Center in WPB, Fl. The beginning “act” was not pleasant at all. He lasted about 30 minute, then came Judy and Stills. Stills voice is haggard at best. He did her no justice as a duet. I was hoping to hear at least some of her era music I.e. Send in the Clowns. That never happened. For her age she has a wonderful voice, but lost some tone at times. I watched people leave en masses, even before she ended. I too left early. God bless her for keeping it up, but everyone loses it at some time. Really disappointed.

This was a rambling account of their past exploits which we could hardly hear as Stills mumbled through his memories. It is time to go. Collins voice had its moments but cracked and was flat a few times. Very disappointing and embarrassing for them.
