Excelent show! Botti said we (the audience) were welcome to follow the band to Milwaukee for the next show. Thanks for the invite Chris. I'll save the gas money to purchase the live CD. Can't wait for the Botti Band to return! A Purdue fan says GREAT PERFORMANCE and thank you!

This was a fantastic concert. Chris was as pleasing on the ears as on the eyes. His band was masterful - such great talent on one stage! Sy Smith was fabulous. Makes you want to get up to Milwaukee for the next show! Bring him back soon!!!

The talent on that stage last night was beyond belief. Isn't it funny how great musicians (and Chris is definitely that ) can surround themselves with great musicians! If you were not there, I am sorry. I'm in my late forties and have been to many concerts, but this one made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, numerous times. WOW!
