Amazing Concert!
Boz Scaggs was outstanding. His band was excellent. It was like watching a jazz and blues concert back in the 70's with some Top 40 songs peppered in. Boz has taken care of his amazing voice, he sounds as good or better than he did in the 70's and 80's. Enjoyed every minute of the night. America opened and they sounded excellent also. Even with one of the 3 original band members long gone from the band, they were wonderful. The Venue was comfortable, and cool in spite of the heatwave. Can't think of anything negative except for the 'talkers' behind us that thought it was a good time to debate the world instead of listening to the show.

Boz/America was great!
Boz Scaggs still has it! He and his band were amazing. America was very enjoyable with all their numerous hits plus a great cover of Eleanor Rigby. Rose Music Center is the best venue in the region. The seating comfort and sound system are so much better than the main venue at Riverbend.

Boz and America-Amazing!
America sounded fantastic and played all their greatest hits. Thankfully they did a full show, about 90 minutes. Boz came out with ‘Jojo’ and just got better and better as the night went on. It was unbelievably hot but you wouldn’t have known it from the performances. Excellent show!

Amazing Voice and Band
I can’t Believe how wonderful Boz Skaggs sounded live! I will go back to see him every time he comes to our area! Wonderful night with beautiful music!

Great show
We loved hearing America. They sounded great and we knew all the songs. We enjoyed listening to Boz Scagg's newer songs and his big hits are masterpieces. America played close to an hour and a half and then a half hour break to set up equipment for Boz Scaggs. He performed close to two hours. The Rose Center is a great place to go to and watch concerts. Easy to get into and out of parking lot and stage area seating. Everything is newer and clean and the employees are very friendly and helpful. We had an enjoyable evening.

America was fantastic-Boz Scaggs Not So Much
America was superb. They played 21 songs that you knew all the words to. I loved it. Then Boz Scaggs came on and played a bunch of songs nobody knew. He did play about 4 songs of the 16 total that were from his hits, but the vast majority were blues songs from obscurity. His part of the concert was boring! If I was rating America alone they would get q 5 star and Boz Scaggs alone he would get 1 star...
BOZ SCAGGS is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. An early bandmate of Steve Miller in The Ardells and the Steve Miller Band, he began his solo career in 1969, though he lacked a major hit until his 1976 album Silk Degrees peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200, and produced the hit singles "Lido Shuffle" and "Lowdown". Scaggs produced two more platinum-certified albums in Down Two Then Left and Middle Man, the latter of which produced two top-40 singles "Breakdown Dead Ahead" and "Jojo". After a hiatus for most of the 1980s, he returned to recording and touring in 1988, joining The New York Rock and Soul Revue and opening the nightclub Slim's, a popular San Francisco music venue until it closed in 2020. He has continued to record and tour throughout the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, with his most recent album being 2018's Out of the Blues.
Scaggs is credited for helping the formation of Toto. For his 1976 album, Silk Degrees, he hand picked musicians after taking suggestions from several people. These musicians were David Paich, David Hungate, and Jeff Porcaro. The three were already friends and had frequently performed together on other albums, such as Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic. By going on tour with Scaggs, it solidified the prospect of starting a band. Columbia picked up on this talent by offering the new group a contract "without audition". Steve Porcaro described this as "a record deal thrown in our laps". Paich stated "I'm not sure if Toto would have happened as soon, or quite the same way, without Silk Degrees". Their friendship has continued throughout the decades shown by the varying collaborations and concerts performed together. Paich teamed up once more for Scaggs' 2001 album, Dig, where he contributed to 6 out of the 11 songs.
