George Benson Tickets

First of all: How does George Benson sound like that & perform like that at age 81! Phenomenal! Outstanding from start to finish. The venue is beautiful, easy to get around & has a variety of seating & eating/drinking options. The sound system is unbelievable, so crisp & clear even at the back of the venue. I enjoyed this so much I bought a ticket for another concert the next weekend. Blue Note has done an outstanding job.

George Benson has still “got it!” His genuine signature sound, strong and melodic. Excellent venue, the Meritage Resort, Napa. The acoustics were nice, his band, as well as their collaboration with the Santa Rosa Symphony Orchestra -beautifully arranged; salute to his music director! I really enjoyed the “experience” of George Benson. It was Exhilarating and Beautiful! Thank you, George Benson for touring again!

George Benson was amazing. His voice & music are eternally classic. Wish he would had sung all his greatest hits. Love hearing those live.

It was great to see George Benson live, he is truly one of the great legends. Looks good, sounds good, still doing his thing. Loved to see it!

Blue Note at Meritage Resort is a great venue. Perfect size as far as attendance! Not overly crowded as sometimes venues can be crowded and overwhelming. What made it even better was the perfect weather we had in Napa for the George Benson concert. My wife and I enjoyed this outdoor concert. Definitely will be going there again in the future 🎵🎵

Used to listen to him when he and I were younger I was excited to see him and I wasn’t disappointed

George Benson does not disappoint! He is slowing down but still a great performer. Audio was great, Gold seating was great, parking was manageable, bathrooms were clean. However, we do have a complaint for the venue. We sat behind a couple that had to leave very early (or find other seats) because the people next to them (each side) were so overweight, they squeezed that couple out of their seats. They had to sit sideways, really! (They were normal sized). These two overweight people should have been made to buy extra seats so this couple (or any couple) could enjoy the show in their Gold seats. This is what airplanes do, make overweight people buy an extra seat because they do not fit. There should be a weight limit on the folding chairs in the venue. Or have a designated area where heavier people can sit and not compromises the peoples seats around them. This made the show miserable for that couple if they did not find other seating.

Concert was good, a bit disappointed to be honest, expected a bit more, was short in my opinion. We paid for Gold, premium seats at Meritage Resort at Napa and did not feel like the seats were comfortable at all. We felt squeezed, had to leave our seats 30 mins into the show, even before George Benson came out. Unless the concert is hosted in a venue where seats or chairs are not zip tie together, where you can actually sit down and cross your legs and be comfortable, don’t think will ever pay for premium seats to watch George Benson again. Very disappointed.

I get it! The outdoor concert is a laid back event. But no one said it should be disrespectful of others! We had tickets for the Bronze section, which are unassigned seats. I brought my 75 year old mom to the concert and we were lucky to score the aisle/side seats in the last row. Everything was great until a very outspoken patron chose to converse with a very outspoken usher. They stood a foot away from us, right behind us and were very loud. The concertbwas loud so they tried to be louder. That was very distracting and I politely asked them to take a few steps back away from us, because we were trying to enjoy the concert. Both of then just laughed and the rude concert goer just said "Can you believe it?"to the usher. They laughed at us and continued with their noisy conversation. We got up and moved all the away from the stage view because all the seats were already taken. We listened to The rest of the concert and didn't see the stage. We left early, about 8:45pm. I wish there was some rule about this. Very upsetting.

Saw George at the Meritage in Napa (a fantastic venue). The warm up was a talented guitarist Giacoma Turra - great but would have been better performing with a live band (seriously - piped-in music in 2024??). Santa Rosa symphony was world class. George's band was outstanding - his guitarist and drummer were two of the best in the state. As for George, I give him alot of credit for performing in poor health. He labored during his singing, making strategic adjustments that were noticeable only if you paid close attention (i.e., limiting himself to singing only 2-3 words at a time, having the legendary singer Amy Keys perform solo, no encores, etc.). Having said that, he still sounded the same way he did 40+ years ago when I saw him in undergrad. His notes were still sweet and "This Masquerade"was still just as haunting as I remembered. George Benson should be on everyone's "must see"list while he's available - he probably won't be performing much longer and we will miss this treasure long after he's gone.
