The Mavericks

The Mavericks are the most interesting band in the world. I have been a fan for 25 years. Raul Malo has a Velvet Voice and a smile to die for. Eddie Perez plays the guitar like no other and he is as charming as he is handsome. Paul Deakin is the Master of all drummers. He is sweet, and oh so handsome. Jerry Dale McFadden is a classic talent no one like him. When Jerry dances we All Dance! Robert Reynolds has those magic blue eyes and kind smile and a gentle way about him. A man of many talents not only in his musical talents but, in his art. His artwork is truly magnificent! Jay's Cello playing is awesome as is Paul Armstrong on the Trumpet. Michael's playing of the accordion is amazing! Michael also sings and has his own band and plays other instruments. Last but not least is the Great Sax Player Max Abrams. Max is so talented, good looking and sweet! I have been to a few of their thrilling concerts and as always I was on a Maverick high for days. I admit it I would be their # 1 groupie if I could be. I'm the proud administrator of two Mavericks Groups. The Mavericks Rule! and The Raul Malo Fan Group on FB. I want to say to The Mavericks Happy 25 Years of making Amazing Music. 2014 is your 25 Live Tour and boy The Mavericks have been touring and still are. I can't wait to get my next Maverick fix on 11/5/14 in Portsmouth NH Music Hall. Until then I manage my 2 Mavericks sites sharing with others who have The Maverick Fever. Oh, and I sleep with my head phones on and CD playing my many Maverick CD's. Yes I'm Hooked and I'm proud to say The Mavericks Rule!

I had one of the best concrt experiences I've ever had. Raul Malo's voice has no equal and his band leadership was quite obvious generating high energy and great feelings to the audience. I and the roughly 600 attendees were into the music and performance. We were standing dancing, swinging and swaying to the music. So many were singing along to the music. It was quite moving to see the fans enjoying themselves. Sitting next to me was a woman in her 70'S kind of fragile looking, but she was shaking her tail feathers to the upbeat songs "The Mavericks" performed. Two rows ahead of me was a gentleman with a neck brace on who was doing the boogie woogie dancing. It was great for my soul and stirred my soul to the stomp and hollering I did. They were outstanding, and did 3 encores. Each one livelier than the previous ones. I had the feeling they would have done a few more had not the roadie cone out and picked up Raul's giutar. Al I head from folks leaving was "What a Great Concert". I surely will attend again if the right venue presents itself.

Have been to 4 Mavericks concerts in last 2 years and each one was better than previous time. Keep wondering how they can possibly get better, but they do. All of the band members obviously enjoy performing and providing a good time for their fans!

It was apparent from the start the electricity and atmosphere of Austin was going to make for a great concert. The icing on the cake was the guest appearance of Jimmy Vaughan!

I appreciated Raul admonishing the individual who was talking during his solo as it was disturbing to those who wanted to listen to the music, but could have done without Raul's multiple use of "f" word. Also wish Mavericks would start their concerts on time, as all 4 we have attended were at least 20 minutes late beginning. Gets a little tiring for those of us who arrive 1.5 hours in advance to get a good standing place to hear and see the band.

Have been to many concerts over the years but the Mavericks far exceed all others!

Last night at The Winery in Saratoga California ; The Mavericks put forth a show unparalleled in it’s high energy and it’s enthusiastic audience response!!
The Mavericks have been my favorite band for decades and have never disappointed me in concert!! Last night with a dedication of the song “ How Do You Mend a Broken Heart ?” Raul Malo showed a deep empathy for the families of the Las Vegas victims!! His beautiful tenor was deeply moving and carried the audience ‘s heart in his capable hands!!
Later he kept the audience in the palm of his hands with several solos standing alone on the stage!!
A special and wonderful night at a truly magnificent venue!! They put forward a show with all their usual famous wild antics with some very special and memorable moments of great heart!! WONDERFUL NIGHT!!

The Mavericks were awesome as usual. They have added a light show since I had last seen them. This can be distracting depending on where you are sitting. They did a tribute to the victims & the families of the recent mass shootings beginning with the Las Vegas massacre. Jerry was up to his antics & quite enjoyable. Raul did a solo encore & then the band rejoined him for more fun & music! They are so high energy! The horns section plus the accordionist were fantastic & the drummer was unbelievable! I went both nights & would go again tonight if they were in town. Jimmy Vaughn was an added treat last night. Can't go wrong with the Mavericks! Three hours of unforgettable delights!

Fan-friggin-tastic show. So much energy going back and forth between The Mavericks and the audience that it lifted both.

Audience members holding phones above their heads is getting to be a problem at shows. I wish venues would tell the audience not to hold above their heads. If you want to film instead of watching the show, hold it in front of your own face so you don't block the view of others.

But Raul and the others were on point in this show. Will see them whenever I get the chance!! You should too!!!!

I Love the Mavericks and have seen them 3 times now. The energy that they show on stage is very contagious! No other males singing voice compares to Raul Malo.
Eddie Perez’s guitar playing is alway number one. I was in a group of 8 family & friends we had seats but ended up standing and clapping for most of the concert. Their brass section kept the crowd cheering throughout the show.

We were wishing that they had two shows in town instead of just one. We would have all gone to a second show!

Well, the band was fantastic, but the venue SUCKED! Club Regent, you've got no class at all.
For $50 I want a SEAT, not an spot in a middle-aged mosh pit. The sound was lousy, the crowd was obnoxious and the room might as well have been a community bingo hall. Made the old hockey rink sound more like the concert hall.
Maybe the sound was better at the rear of the hall, but who cares! I will NEVER go to a 'concert' at the casino again. What a sham.

Kickass! The show was nonstop from beginning to end. The super talented musicians, Raul's ability to belt out gorgeous songs, the energy on stage! My hubby and I were the youngest ones there (39,40)! But most people were up dancing. At one point though we were told to sit down by the usher!! In any case, great acoustics at the Jubiliee; but one day I'd love to see the Mavericks in a smaller venue where I can be closer to the action!

UNBELIEVABLE live show! The Mavericks knocked it out of the park!
Incredible talent with all 9 members of the band.

HIGHLY recommend that you try to see them in a live performance.

HIGH ENERGY!!! Raul has everyone out of their seat!

Only thing I missed was hearing a few more of their original hits. They only played 3 of their earlier hits. Missed hearing more of those.

I would go again and again!
