Taylor Hicks ~~ "Whomp at the Warfield" Showing Tuesday!

The first live concert DVD by Taylor Hicks, “Whomp at the Warfield,” brings an energy-spiked performance from the old Warfield Theatre in San Francisco to the music scene Tuesday.

"Ya gotta love San Francisco!" Taylor exclaimed during his live performance at the Warfield, May 9, 2007.

One of the last surviving vaudeville palaces in San Francisco, this place was a popular stop in the '20s for big-name national performers like Al Jolson. Today, it books acts as diverse as Ryan Adams and Bill Maher.

It was a popular stop for Taylor Hicks on the successful West Coast swing of his Modern Whomp Solo Tour in 2007.

Reviews at the time showed the enthusiasm on both sides of the stage. One fan called it “the best.”

“....the crowds were INTO Taylor from beginning to end. There is no need for judicial editing of the concert if the intent is to show crowd enthusiasm. The enthusiasm was NATURAL !! Their love of Taylor, the man and his music is SELF_EVIDENT…I've been to many concerts in my lifetime (Rod Stewart, Allman Brothers, Billy joel, Elvis Costello, you name them) and I have to say, this is probably one of the bests ones I've been to in years.” (Marinata)


“He connects with his fans. You must be there to feel the energy he communicates from the stage. He goes with their vibe, and is such a crowd pleaser! Lots of original tunes here for the tour DVD, and easier for permission rights. His voice was strong, He looked great, slim and trim, aligator boot shoes, sweating right through his jacket, and yet did a three song encore! He was workin it! Great band, and he shows them such LOVE! He works on stage in unity with his band, and they respond to him as their obvious leader. They just smile and go where his music goes. It Really is THE RIGHT PLACE! We Loved It!” (soulpatrol120)
