(Updated October 6th, 2019) Boz Scaggs Concert Review September 5th, 2018

Hello,

I saw Boz Scaggs and his very able band at Layton, Utah's Kenley Ampitheatre on September 5th, 2018. I googled around a bit, but I couldn't find any of the names of his band members. However he was accompanied by a lead guitarist, bass guitarist, a multi instrumental player, keyboards and vocals, bongos and vocals, a regular drummer and a bassist that was smiling the whole night. Also Boz Scaggs played guitar, including some great blues licks. We can't forget the guy who brought Boz his guitar between each song.

The setlist is below, he played a decent 17 song set, which lasted about 100 minutes. His set was missing some obvious gems (see below). They played some of his classics, songs he called his Hollywood songs. They also played some of his songs from his newest CD "Out of the Blues". He played a few songs from that CD, some of which are covers he played on this night.

I'm posting the best songs and live versions of his songs.

1) "Jojo":


2) "It's Over":


3) "Gone Baby Gone":



4) "Rock & Stick":



5) "Harbor Lights":



A cover of Bobby "Blue" Blands 6) "The Feeling Is Gone":



One of his better most recent songs. 7) "Radiator 110":


This song had more pizazz than expected in concert. 8) "Georgia":


This song was one of the most lethargic moments of the evening. Of all the amazing Neil Young songs, why did he cover this one? This is Young's 9) "On The Beach":



A cover of Fats Domino 10) "I'm Sick and Tired (Of Fooling Around With You":


11) I've Got Your Love (Love Love)":



12) "Look What You've Done That To Me":


I expected this song to have a bit more pizazz in concert. 13) "Lowdown":


14) "Lido Shuffle":


Encore:

15) "What Can I Say":


I loved their playing the blues, but a better songs could have been picked for that. 16) "Loan Me A Dime" was a sadly a long snooze:



A cover of Chuck Berry's 17) "You Never Can Tell":


Songs I wish Boz and his great band would have played:

"Breakdown Dead Ahead":
"Miss Sun":
"We're All Alone":
