Zac Brown Band Reviews

JIMMY LEE STAVROS. from Los Angeles, California

ZAC BROWN AND BAND

DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS !!! KICKED AZZZZZZZZZ !!! WOW THE WHOLE CONCERT NO ONE SAT DOWN ! WHAT A RANGE OF MUSIC DIVERSITY BY THIS BAND , FROM VOCALS TO PERCUSSION AND TO HAVE IT AT THE FORUM WHICH BY FAR HAS THE BEST SOUND AND ACOUSTICS AROUND ( PERIOD ).

Terry evans from Deming, Washington

ZACH BROWN

Great Concert! Zach brown has gone into stardom! We saw 9 years ago in Everett and the brand has improved immensely. The sound and video background were great! He played all his hits while the crowd sang and danced. They also played old hits from other artists including Eagles, Charlie Daniels, Almond Bros, Metalica, Queen and more. It was fabulous! Fiddler Jimmy De Martini wowed the crowd, Cloy Cook Tied to the Whipping Post great and John Hopkins clear voice mixed well. Very talented group!

Michele S from Minneapolis, Minnesota

I WAS WOWED!

Saw ZBB for the first time at Target Field last night and went home amazed. I knew it would be a good show but did not realize it would be a great show! Definitely in my list of top 5 concerts I've ever been to. They have so many of their own songs that would fill the entire 2 hour set, but they did lots of unexpected covers. I LOVED THAT! I am not boxed into only one genre so to hear them all of a sudden bust out Metallica and Sir Mix a Lot and do it WELL, I was thoroughly impressed.

Mike Cook from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

AWESOM

Over on vacation from the UK and couldn’t believe my luck to get tickets for ZBB after 4 years of waiting since seeing them at Glastonbury . Fantastic talented musicians and was not disappointed .....truly an amazing experience and now waiting to see them at Bluesfest in London . Brilliant inclusion for our holiday

JamMan from Chicago, Illinois

AMAZING SHOW

Total entertainment/ Great Versatility. Loved the Tributes to The Dave Matthews and Greg Allman Band. They Rocked it. Also Satified the Audience with their hits & new stuff. We Loved the Show

Enjoy the ride from Boston, Massachusetts

ALWAYS A GREAT CONCERT

I have been to almost every single Boston Fenway concert and have traveled to Saratoga and Hartford several years to see these guys!! Always amazing and entertaining. Never disappointed!! setlists are always different. Sad to read negative reviews - artists feel the energy of the crowd-music is symbiotic- engage yourself more and they will feed off your enthusiasm!!all artists introduce new music and cover other artists as well and these guys blend it perfectly with their own. We love to hear Bohemian rhapsody or whipping post! If they did 5 nights at fenway I would attend every night because this band delivers a different fantastic show every single time that I have seen them

ZAC BROWN- FENWAY PARK 2021

ZBB arrived ready to rock and entertain last night. I have seen the band 6 times and they were AMAZINNG last night. A bit rusty from Covid but obviously thrilled to be back on stage and in Boston where they seem to love to play and we love to hear them!. Till next year ZBB, be safe and keep the music coming!

Mistie from Denver, Colorado

AWESOME

Not sure what concert these people, above, went to but he rocked the house. The energy was on fire. We had a blast!! Thank you Zac Brown band for an awesome evening!!!

from Boston, Massachusetts

ZBB CHARLOTTE NC

I thought the venue was great. We had free parking and walked less than 2 min. Loved that! Got inside and had seat tix and not lawn. Not sure why people are saying robot Zac? He rocked it in Charlotte!!! His band was killing it! The cover songs were great! Not sure what karaoke bars you go to where they sing like that? I loved the encore and finishing it up with chicken fried. The screens behind stage were amazing. Great concert! Ready to attend again!!

Michael from Nashville, Tennessee

LOVED IT

I guess I’m not a big enough ZBB “fan” to not enjoy fantastic and well played music. I enjoyed the venue, some of the best sound ever at a big concert, could hear the musicians sing and play and the big screens and back art were perfect.

Karen Parry from Atlanta GA

ATLANTA 11/11/21 OPENING FOR THE STONES

Pleasantly surprised they were opening and really enjoyed the show. They did an amazing version of Bohemian Rhapsody but most of the songs were their own and judging from the crowd went down really well. Great night out.

Daniel Nasworthy from Jacksonville, Florida

NOT A FAN OF SONG CHOICE BUT WOW WHAT A PERFORMANCE

WOW A MUST SEE even though I may not have picked those songs, the way they pulled off what they did played was absolutely remarkable. There's no denying that Zac brown is a real band and there is nothing they can't play. I did go to hear their songs, but I also get what he was trying to do as well. And I can't see giving them anything other than five stars for their performance for his voice and his band. What a great show, I would recommend everyone to go see. It's a top five show and Zac sounds exactly the same on stage as in studio (I see a lot of Stapleton this Stapleton that) Zac brown sounds exactly the same either way and there's no comparison between the two there both great in what they do

Trixy from Los Angeles, California

AMAZING

such talented musicians, good songs, and an overall amazing show!!!!

Susan Martin from Columbus, Ohio

GREAT CONCERT!

Zack Brown band did not disappoint! Played many of their hits. Loved that encore with each band member highlighted. A day later the songs are still on my mind.

Russ from Long Beach, California

ZBB FIVEPOINT’S FINAL SHOW 2023

What a great way to send FivePoint off into the sunset. Great energy from the crowd only exceeded by the energy from the band. We were in the Pit, which got very crowded. Played the hits, plus the expected covers. Loved the tribute to Jimmy Buffet, who we saw many times at the now closed Irvine Amphitheater. Great musicians and entertainers. We will always make an effort to see them when they are in town!

Go Buccs from Nashville, Tennessee

FUN SHOW , LOTS OF TALENT

Could have had a few more ZBB Songs but energetic and crazy talent on stage. Lost of fun crown was into it. Would have liked a few Encores crowd would have gone off !!!

Mark petruzzi from Marlboro, New Jersey

ACCOMPLISHED MUSICIANS BUT PLAY YOUR SONGS

No denying they're great at what they do, but this is the jersey shore, don't play one verse each from your "beach" songs and compile them into a medley and then spend 20 minutes on an allman brothers song that either drove half the audience out of the arena or half to sleep, finally if your Springsteen you can let nils and Stevie battle it out on guitar and the crowd will love it, if your ZBB, play your hits

Dan from Atlanta, Georgia

AWESOME MUSIC BUT TERRIBLE VENUE

As always ZBB is awesome!!! That said, Suntrust Park is the WORST venue for a concert. Constant echo just ruins the experience...not to mention toe massively amplified bass that makes it a muddy sounding mess. HORRIBLE acoustics! Then there is the inexcusable procedure for entering the venue with few entries open and extremely long lines...took 45 mins in line just to get in. Lastly, trying to exit the event from a close in parking lot was a JOKE! It took 69 minutes just to get out of the parking garage because there is absolutely zero traffic control. LOVE ZBB but HATE Suntrust Park venue.

Avro Arrow from Toronto, Ontario

ZAC BROWN BAND ROGERS CENTRE JULY 13 2018

This was to be a country music concert .warm-up band not country, not good. First half of concert very good lot of familiar songs. Second half not so good. ZBB did not read the crowd. Great response to their traditional music. A lackluster response to what they tried to introduce. Promoted as country band, but played other music. They are talented. However stick with one genre .The Encore was much less than an encore. It was more of a repertoire of their talents of other musicians music .Overall nice night.

Jamie from Cape Cod, Massachusetts

COVER MUSIC LET’S US DOWN

After leaving the concert we spoke with lots of groups on the walk from Fenway. The sentiment was pretty universal - disappointment over, 1) all the cover songs and 2), the end of the show with no finally. Great entertainers, but seems they are forgetting who they are there to entertain.

Anonymous from Cincinnati, Ohio

ZAC BROWN

While I love their music, I was a little disappointed. Two of their best songs one of them being “uncaged “they didn’t play. And at the end they played other music not their own which I thought was odd. Also they never really fully introduced their band. Definitely not one of my favorite concerts. Also nobody would sit down so you could justSit down and enjoy the concert.

Ted Thomas from Charlotte, North Carolina

DISAPPOINTED

We enjoy ZB’s music. Have been to his concerts in the past. This year 2021 in Charlotte was disappointing. For some reason he wants to be a rocker? I am enjoying his music while I type this! But, unfortunately we will not go back to another concert. Darn shame!

Sedona from Portland, Oregon

I DONT WANT TO HEAR COVER SONG

So disappointed with the third session. Had fun with friends. Missed hearing alot of ZB songs. :(

JD from Hershey, Pennsylvania

TOO MANY COVERS

Love ZBB! Last night at Hershey there were too many covers. Seen ZBB many times. This was our least favorite set list. Stick with your own music. That is what your fans love and why they come every year to see you. We will be back next year just hoping to hear more ZBB tunes and Jess covers.

from Hartford, Connecticut

TALENTED - BUT WHY PALY COVERS ALL NIGHT!

Disappointed with lack of their own music played. Amazingly talented musicians but why play others music when they have all those great songs I came to hear. Guys, Im sure you had fun but you forgot why you were there - to play YOUR music for YOUR fans.

Sad in Philly from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

VERY DISAPPOINTED

Went to see the Zac Brown Band play their own songs. Way too much time spent playing other artists and with the cover band. Some use of other artists worked and others were a huge miss. We could have left at the intermission and been better off. That being said this is my 6th time going to this concert and this was by far my least favorite.

Linda from Denver, Colorado

DISAPPOINTING

Didn't get us up on our feet like I thought they would. I'm just glad I didn't pay for the tickets.

Disappointed! from Denver, Colorado

PLEASE PLAY ZBB MUSIC!

I did not go to a ZBB concert to hear the Beastie Boys and Metallica! Fantastic musicians and maybe they tire of playing their own stuff but that is what I came to hear.

Sad ZBB fan from Denver, Colorado

WHERE WAS ZBB?

50% ZBB songs - the crowd loved! 50% rock cover band songs and crazy laser lights - what was that about? Felt like they lost their way in a midlife crisis. Crowd disengaged. Everyone I know was looking forward to a night where you put life aside for the evening and just chill with friends, listening to our favorite ZBB tunes. Loved first two ZBB concerts I attended. This year’s concert was a train wreck. So disappointed. Wasn’t the night so many of us were looking forward to experiencing. Also not sure why there was a several minute break between each song? Made the concert very disjointed.

Jenn Penna from Boston, Massachusetts

TOO MANY COVERS

The first time I saw ZBB, 6 years ago it was 95% their own music. Last night's show at Fenway was a disappointment. It was probably 50% their own music. I paid a lot of money to see a cover band. Very disappointing

Christine Poppe from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

BBT 9/7

We love ZBB. This experience was miserable. The venue oversold the lawn seats and it was chaos, nothing but drunk 15 years olds walking around looking for their friends, tripping over people or vomiting. Never saw the kids even look in the direction of the stage. Maybe that's because they didn't recognize any of the songs. ZBB are very talented musicians and covered Queen, Billy Joel and James Taylor beautifully, but I payed money to see the ZBB play their own songs. I don't want to give up on going to see this band, so I hope they realize going forward that we want to see them sing their own songs. We will never go back to the BBT for any concert! Charging $40 for parking with 3 port-a-potty stalls was unconscionable! And taking them away before the concert was over, I cannot understand??!!

GT from Red Bank, NJ

6/22/19 AT PNC ART CENTER, NJ

Have seen ZBB several times in Jersey and once in Nashville... Great memories!!! However we were all very disappointed at this one. TOO many cover songs and 4 or 5 songs from his new album that no one heard yet. Always on my feet at his concerts. But this one was a boring concert. As a result, I decided not to go to the September concert in Camden. Zac, stick to your roots and fan base. We love YOUR music!

Anthony from Westfield, NJ

ZBB AT PNC DISAPPOINTED

Great band, but they need to play their own songs. People came for a country concert, not Metallica, Adel, or any others. Total downer on this. Also, the songs they did play were lacking in popularity. The audience was singing along to the better ones. They should have read the crowd. Also the sound system was horrible. I could hardly hear them sing, bass was good, way too much highs, just sounded like noise. Also, they overbooked this event and it started to look dangerous if there was any emergency.

Gary from Boston, Massachusetts

ZAC THE FRAUD

Started show off on Fire with 3 hits right off the bat, then concert went downhill from there. He is supposed to be the lead singer but was in the background on many songs. Many different singers. Also, I thought it was Karioke night. He played way too many songs from other bands. I feel he there for just a payday.

Linda from Raleigh, North Carolina

TOO MANY COVERS OF OTHER ARTISTS

Appreciate artists want to experiment and need to innovate but playing covers of other artists from other genres (hard rock, e.g. Metallica) for half of the show?? Disappointing. They are very talented musicians but we bought tickets to hear their music.

from Charlotte, North Carolina

SO DISAPPOINTED

Zac Brown is one of my forever favorites! But why did I pay to listen to cover songs? Why didn’t we here more songs from the comeback album? Or owl ? Or anything that we love to hear Zac sing? If I wanted to listen to cover songs I could have stayed home with my google music! I love ZBB so much! I will always love them! Just may not spend the money to listen to covers next time they are in town.

Caroline Anstey from Belmont, NH

DISAPPOINTED - NASHVILLE CONCERT 10-17-21

The energy and volume of people in Nashville was amazing. Broadway was full of country enthusiasts enjoying themselves. However the Air BNB was over the top expensive. The flights to Nashville expensive ( $1200.00) the Tickets to the Zac Brown concert for two people $595.00. Sunday night concert time we heard more rock than country and hardly any Zac Brown songs. The atmosphere was good, the staff at the concert were top notch, but for the money to see ZAC BROWN and end up listening to more of other people and their songs my husband, myself and our 4 friends who flew in from Florida, we were all disappointed. Our seats were in the HH row section 116. For what we actually experienced the tickets were outrageously priced. All together it was roughly a weekend costing $3300.00 for 3 days. I would not do it again.

from Tampa, Florida

DISAPPOINTING

Such a disappointing concert! I have never been to a concert that has multiple intermissions and plays music that isn’t even Zac Brown Band. Why would you want you fans and supporters to listen to music they didn’t pay to hear. I could have stayed home and listened to the radio to hear more of Zac Brown Band and saved a lot of money!

Nancy Salmun from West Palm Beach, Florida

DISAPPOINTED

This concert was anything but Zach Briwn

Jim Zack from Cherry Hill, NJ

AWFUL...JUST REALLY AWFUL.

Went to the July 19th show in Camden, NJ. First off, it cost $30 just to park. Then, the ZBB setlist was so unbelievable we actually had to walk out. Neaely half the songs they played were covers...and really old, boring ones at that. The crowd was young, energetic and enthusiastic at first but ZBB managed to bore them all to sleep or out the door with us. What a shame...I didn't pay good money to watch a mediocre cover band. I feel like they played their fans for suckers. I feel like I'm owed a refund. I would never go see them again.

Bitterly disappointed from Toronto, Ontario

ZAC BROWN COVER BAND

Why would a band with so many great songs resort to being a cover band. Went with my family to hear Zac Brown music live but we came home disappointed. Dont get me wrong their talent is beyond reproach but i would have gone to the local pub to hear cover music. Saw them a couple years ago at the Amphitheater and they killed it. If you have enough of your own songs to fill a concert and you're who people paid to see play YOUR music.. Likely the last time I'll go see them live.

T Donahue from Dallas

ZAC BROWN GONE BIGTIME

Terrible experience. To many covers and general ego trips. Came to see great country musicians. Left feeling this band is extremely far from the great neighbors we saw in chicken fried and the great country musicians we expected. More of an angry night of “look at us” than a celebration. Seemed to play their hits as a checklist but put energy and time into covers and playing for themselves. Notable that the local crowd has country fans looking bored while the drunk obnoxious group had a great time yelling whoooo

ZBB Fail from Chicago, Illinois

WTF ZBB?

If I wanted to hear cover tunes - I would watch American Idol. ZBB - major disappointment tonight in Tinley Park! Never seen so many leave before the encore. Know what got you there - and stick to it!

Jack from San Diego, CA

WON'T DO THAT AGAIN

I love listening to ZBB's recorded music. However, attending this show was so bad, we left at intermission. The band just lacks in enthusiasm on stage. Technically, they are very competent and well-rehearsed. But, as another reviewer pointed out, they failed to read the crowd and for the most part, the folks around me were more interested in hanging out and talking with ZBB in the background. The band didn't do anything to create a level of excitement to stir the folks in our section (which was in the middle of the arena) or the rest of us. Additionally, they failed to realize that most people don't want to hear ZBB play songs like Hot For Teacher. It was self-indulgent on their part. We paid to hear ZBB music - not wait until they finish their detour to get back to their own music that we love. So, my takeaway is to make sure to only go to shows where I know the performance will be memorable (which I can do by reviewing prior YouTube performance). Expensive lesson!

Adam from Tampa, Florida

WORST ZBB CONCERT EVER

Only played 3 songs the crowd loved. The opening act was a joke and he brought him back on stage. Fourth ZBB concert and last. I think the divorce ruined him. His ticket is a waste of money. Went to Chris Stapleton last week. Would have paid 3x as much for that ticket. Amazing!!!!

Marina from Jupiter, Florida

WASTE OF MONEY!

We went to the October 19th show at the Coral Sky Amphitheater in West Palm Beach. I have to say this concert was the most disappointing show I have ever been to. We spent 112$ for two lawn tickets to hear the Zac Brown Band play, but what we got was a cover band from the 80's and 90's. This was by far the biggest waste of money and we left early to boot. Shame on them! ZBB has plenty of really awesome music of their own, why they felt the need to fill so much of their show with other bands music is beyond me. I will not be returning to one of their shows.

Chrissy from Boston, Massachusetts

NO ENERGY- DISAPPOINTING !!

Gone are the days of an energy packed entertaining Zac Brown - a “zac robot” would have given a better performance . The music was ok but Zac clearly not engaged !! You’d think there would have been EXCITEMENT on the part of him and the band - nope - he sold Tix , sang songs and put on an uninspiring show….I Was a loyal( money spending ) Zac fan for over 15 yrs but no more! Hang it up Zac !! Get rid of the girl in the band - bad , bad !!

Insulted Intelligence from Hershey, Pennsylvania

WILL NEVER BE FOOLED AGAIN

The tour should be called, "Open Mic Night, hosted by Zac Brown." 11 ZBB songs, 15 cover songs and most of them not sung by Zac Brown himself. The openers each sang a song, a female guitarist, the drummer, the backup bass player, the catering manager, a sound tech, a lady from row 13. Everyone got their turn to sing! The qualify of their singing was what you'd expect. Mediocre at best. Just a horrible waste of money. Saw them at Hersheypark Stadium like 5 years ago and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Fuck this. from Nashville, Tennessee

BULLSHIT SHOW

What a joke. He did not start until 830 when it said 7 start time. Sang 4 songs and two other people sing for him then took a damn break. I think the possum is playing next!!!!😡😡😡💕

Karl P from New York, New York

WORST CONCERT OF MY LIFE

Overly expensive cover band. I go to over 10 big concerts a year for the past three years and I cannot describe how disappointing their performance was. Billie Armstrong is turning fifty, McJagger is 78 and they both rocked their concerts non-stop throughout its entirety. Zac Brown was tired though, and needed a bunch of breaks in the middle, one 10 minute intermission and a bunch of other singers for non ZBB songs. Love their music, but they're the worst band I've ever seen live.

Mike from Indianapolis, Indiana

INDY SHOW

Have seen 6 ZBBs now; this was by far the worst show, boring, and they need to know that bad covers are just bad covers; stick with what made you popular or you will become irrelevant

S Dey from Cincinnati, Ohio

RIVERBEND ZAC BROWN

Awful evening. No crowd control, pot and underage drinking. Won’t come back to Riverbend.

from Charlotte, North Carolina

WHAT A COMPLETE LETDOWN...

Went to the ZBB concert September 24, 2022 for my daughters 12th Birthday. I've seen him before when he came to our hometown a couple years ago, so I knew they tend to go off in guitar riffs. But never have I ever, been to a concert that has intermissions. Not just 1 but 2! During the intermissions, no music is being played, WTF. Why do you need a 15 min break? Why wouldn't you have the rest of the band playing, keeping the crowd entertained. On top of all of that, they didn't even play half of their songs. It was like I was listening to 70's Disco cover band. The opening act was a JOKE. It wasn't even a country band. It was like a Jazz band with a guy sitting in a seat playing a pedal guitar. I am a music lover and frequent concert goer, I have never been soo bored at a concert. This will be the last ZBB concert I go to. Huge waste of money and overall disappointed. Hopefully, they will see these reviews and change it up for the sake of the fans.

Adriana from Scottsdale , Arizona

BORING

Very disappointing… especially if you are there to see a country concert. Have seen ZBB several times and they were amazing.. not this time.. why would they choose to not play their own songs? Left early and was bored most of the time. Sam Hunt was great though. Super bummed.

Darlynn from Phoenix, Arizona

WALKED OUT

Loud distorted noise, could not distinguish any vocals from bands. End of tour bad sound system? Walked out.

Bill in CT from New Milford, CT

NOT IMPRESSED. STAY IN YOUR LANE!

We went to the Zac Brown Band to see the Zac Brown Band, not a me to band to play a bunch of covers. U2, Clapton, Van Morrison, I think a Pink Floyd tune also, how many more?... all who I listen to and enjoy ..STAY IN YOUR LANE! I was thinking on the drive home, I paid $400 for a country rock cover band. If I had known that was the set list for the show, I would have never paid what I did for tickets. Very disappointed and I was not impressed. Bethel Woods is a great place, but the under age drinking was over the top. In the parking lots before the show and during the show. I like to have a beer or two, and I get high now and then, but there was no control with the under age drinking during the show at Bethel Woods. Did everyone make it home safely last night? Also, I never write reviews, but this experience got a little under my skin.
