Featured Review
What an electric night, Dave's, voice & guitar playing is as good as it has ever been, backed up by 6 superb musicians, the drummer & base player were holding it together, the falsetto of the Islander guy, on par with the Beach Boys, the woodwind guy & female back-up singers/musicians were fantastic, great interaction between band members with Dave trading licks. Must mention lighting techs. also, brilliant, particular on drummers feature, very tight & obviously rehearsed show.
Power Station is an excellent rock venue.

We bought tickets to see DD and have a trip down memory lane with all his old awesome songs. Really dissapointed in his set, we were bored, he talked heaps and the sound quality wasn't good. We only lasted 6 songs before we gave up and went home (90 minute drive away). The only good thing I have to say is how awesome Midnight Youth were. Their set was slick, sound quality great. Interesting to note that a third of the crowd left when Midnight Youth left the stage.

The Dukes kicked off the evening at the Riwaka hotel, with LA Mitchell joining them as usual - they were faultless.
Next up was Midnight Youth who built the crowd up admirably. Friends who didn't know them said they would now go out and buy their cd - which is a great compliment.
Dave Dobbyn was in a superb mood, playing all his well known favourites with gusto. It was the best line-up, with all 3 groups blending well together. The crowd loved every minute.
Also there was plenty of space, easy access to toilets and the bar, which makes for an even more enjoyable experience. Great management co-ordination.

Dave Dobbyn is a national treasure - I can't understand why he doesn't record a live CD/DVD. Dukes set was interesting with varied set following head bangers Inertia. Midnight Youth were well received by younger set and at anthematic best. Dave ran through a good set covering the years with emphasis on rockier side as befitted the night.

We had a fantastic night enjoying fantastic music with a great crowd. Dukes very good and warmed the crowd up really well. Midnight Youth were brilliant and by the time Dave Dobbyn came on the crowd was really enjoying the night. Dave Dobbyn was outstanding, professional and a consummate entertainer. We felt so lucky to have such an iconic singer
songwriter in New Zealand. Fantastic.

The Dukes and Midnight Youth played quite long and enjoyable sets. As for Dave, he is still a great musician, but apart from his music, what stands out is that he seems a really happy guy - God's love kinda oozes out of him. No wonder he has kept going strong so long :)

An amazing night. An unforgettable performance by both Dave (and his fans) who knew all the lyrics. What an amazing and humble man who after the the show was happy to have photos taken and sign covers.
The best live performance Ive been part of. Dobbyn is our greatest poet and musician.
well worth every cent!

Excellent night, great sized venue, good dance floor, great crowd (only 1 woman was making a spectacle of herself and competing for the crowd's attention against Dave - Dave won!). Great song list and warm up for the WRC opening.
The usual anthems moved the crowds and make you realise how inherent Dave is to our history and heritage in a sense.
