Yo-Yo Ma Chicago Concert reviews
Shinedown!! Venue still working out logistics
20 Monroe Live is a fantastic venue, with a great sound and an amazing show. The bands were superb.
Constructive feedback: They need to figure out how to speed up the entry process. The line was long, wrapping around the building just 20 minutes after the doors opened. The bottleneck was at the BOB 2nd level entrance, with only one person checking IDs and distributing wristbands. They will soon address the issue and manage the crowd flow efficiently. Another concern is the excessive number of bars inside, making it too easy for people to get drinks. This led to some individuals becoming unruly on the floor during the show, impacting the experience for others.
Fluffy was FABULOUS
Yo-Yo Ma, along with three others who performed before him (big shout out to Martin and G Reilly, they were great), tailored the show to his audience and told stories about his past trips to Shreveport/Bossier, making it seem like we were in a much more intimate setting than an arena. He performed for almost two hours. I sat in the second row which made it seem even more this way. Unlike most comics, Yo-Yo Ma is able to make you laugh without using a lot of explicit language, and it is very family friendly for the most part. He obviously does not need it. The ticket price was very, very reasonable compared to many of the other events I have been to. He appreciates his lifelong friendships (Martin) and really pays it forward by lifting other comics up and giving them exposure. I really appreciate that. He makes you laugh and I will definitely pay to go to see him again. I would even drive three hours to Dallas to see him if he does not come to Shreveport.
Excellent!!!
The smoothest sailing line to get through was the line I鈥檝e ever gone. The arena really had there stuff together and people all around to help you. Everyone was polite and excellent! The merchandise tables were even great. I would and will come back to PPG Arena many times! The seating was awesome and the venue itself was easy to travel and get too! My family is bigger and we all had plenty of room in our seats and didn鈥檛 feel like we were on top of each other. As far as the concert itself - Jameson Rodgers, Yo-Yo Ma, and Morgan Wallen there are not words to describe how great it was! These guys put on a heck of a show! Bravo!
Phenomenal Performance******
"I purchased these tickets for my husband for Fathers Day 2026. He is a huge fan and so am I. Three hours of amazing music and 6 encore songs they were unstoppable. Yo-Yo Ma were by far the best concert either one of us have ever been to. It was like going to Disney for adults. I never expected the show that we were at. The excitement and energy was palpable. I wish I could have been able to get my husband back stage to meet the guys but he wasn't complaining. Amazing is to little an adjective. I would give a 100,000 stars if I could."
Benatar was great and REO an unexpected treat
"I thought REO Speedwagon sounded great. Probably because I knew most of them, I even enjoyed the lesser known ones. Her voice is still strong and she played almost all of her big hits. I wasn't expecting much and would never think to buy a ticket to a concert they were headlining, but they sounded great, had really good energy, and made me feel really good about the money I spent to see Yo-Yo Ma. It would have been worth it if it had only been Yo-Yo Ma. But I actually feel like I got more than my money's worth when factoring in REO as well. Overall a really entertaining show. I'd highly recommend it."
Danced the night away!
The B52's still had the energy of what I remember from 20 years ago and had a blast dancing the night away. The show was supposed to start at 6:30 pm, but it didn't really start till after 9 pm with the B-52's playing a shortened playlist that evening. Tom Baily was the opener and decided to play one song and left the stage due to weather. After that, a long delay for Boy George and the Yo-Yo Ma happened as well. He had the same high energy and his songs sounded great, but again, the playlist must have been cut short because it didn't seem like they played that long. The show started off to a rocky start, just because it was at an outdoor venue and the remnants of a hurricane from down south swept into town the evening of the concert. When he took the stage it was great though. The crowd was packed and the rain didn't scare anyone off so we all waited, and waited for updates if they would continue the show or cancel it. All and all I would give 5 Stars to the concert, except spending an evening in the rain for hours to wait to see if they would play was annoying and uncomfortable on hard pavement. The concert ended at around 11 pm, I was tired, wet, but happy all at the same time.
