Glenn was missing - real shame he wasn't up to a concert here in NZ - perhaps ambitious to contemplate it in the first instance.

All in all it was a good night, except the Bistro - obviously not prepared for a crowd, durrh! The venue is good - however I thought that instead of using the high high seating (most people were "mature" as opposed to very young), use of the seating right alongside the side of the stage would have been better. Sound, lighting etc was great.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Kenny is a real showman. The first supporting group were also very talented but John was not quite up to it. He did have two very good numbers. Never plan on a meal at the venue as they cannot cope with large numbers.

What can I say...Went to see Glenn....was great to see Kenny but John Rowles...really..!!!!.......it was a John Rowles moment for him......nothing to honour Glenn Campbell except the first song.......felt sorry for Kenny having to come on stage after that dismal performance....& security guys with stand over tactics should learn whats not ok for one should be not ok for all.

Apart from the fact Glen Campbell had already been excluded from the show, John Rowles & 2 members of the other band had the flu which caused their performances to be below par and Kenny Rogers has past the prime of his career.

All in all a poor performance from what used to be some class acts - totally regretted going to this show and to top it off it was a terrible night for such a disappointing show.

First concert I have been to of Kenny Rogers and thoroughly enjoyed it. Even though he is a little older these days, his voice still had that magical sound and could ring out the tunes from days of old like the song 'The Gambler'. Another plus was that he performed the show right through non-stop with no breaks(terrific)!! Great concert and well worth going to.

While its been a while (last saw him with Dolly Parton) his voice is still the same and his wit is good. Time has caught up with the body but he entertained us well. Vector is a great venue for these events.

A great pity Glen Campbell could not be here.
Kenny Rogers was brilliant - talented and amusing. I had forgotten so many of his songs going right back to my (distant) youth. Most enjoyable.
The C & W tribute to Glen Campbell was also extremely good.
John Rowles? I would suggest a decent hair cut and retirement.

Ive always been a huge Fan of Kenny Rogers & am proud to say I have a nice collection of his albums. My daughter treated me to his concert & it was worth every penny...And more!
He is a true legend & still sings like the gentle tender Kenny that portraits in his voice & songs.... He still ROCKS :)
It was a shame that Glenn Campbell couldn't make it due to illness, but the Bourbon County brothers & John Rowes did some of his great songs as a tribute to him. They both did a great job too :)

Wasn't sure what to expect because of his age. I had seen him when he came here in early 70s with the First Edition. This was different but what I have come to know as classic Kenny Rogers. He was a great performer when I first saw him and I consider he still is. I would go again to hear him sing. Amazing. Thanks for sharing your gift.

Opening act(s): The opening act was "The Bourban Country Brothers" who stepped in along with John Rowles to replace Glen Campbell.. They spent their 15 minutes on stage doing a tribute to Glen Campbell by singing all his songs along with 15 mins of photos of Glen on the screen behind them. They were very good. @

I went with my 2 grown up daughters to see this show. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Its a long time since I have seen Kenny live (1985/6) I think, but he was everything we had hoped for. A little older of course but his voice was great and he sang all his old favourites and some new ones thrown in. He was funny, encouraged the audience to join in, and was very natural. I especially liked the screens at the sides of the stage as it was difficult to see the faces of the people on the stage..so thanks for that Vectra. There was also a large screen behind the bands and this was used to show photos through the years and of Kenny's family. Thankyou Kenny Rogers for a lovely night.
Also we saw John Rowles who was the main act of the 1st half of the show. Apart from seemingly having a bad cold John was really good. I especially liked the song he sang called The Singer which he said will be on his xmas album. I was surprised at how strong his voice still is. Both my girls liked him a lot. We all enjoyed the evening very much and were sad that Glen Campbell was not able to come. But John and The Bourban Brothers did a great job stepping in at short notice and we wish Glen well with his illness.

What was up with John Rowles? Was he really unwell?
We looked forward to seeing and hearing him again as had seen his show in NZ last year. It was brillant. Was truly disappointed. No backing band and only one major hit. John shared his new songs but we needed to hear the old faithfuls. Then to top it off somebody whispered in his ear and that was it. He said goodnight and was gone. I expected some more hits that we all loved and knew and could get in the spirit for Kenny. Cheryl Moana Marie, great song but John has sung so many others.
Thank goodness Kenny made up for it all! Loved from start to finish!
