WELCOME TO THE 2017 TOUR REVIEW THREAD!!
Welcome everyone to the 2017 Tour Review Thread! The upcoming year is going to be exciting with concerts scheduled already for 2017!! MB has some USA shows starting off the year in January and more shows through early April so far and I’m sure many more to come around the globe as the year unfolds! Also exciting for 2017 is the February 10th release of Songs of Cinema and I am betting a few more songs from the CD will make it in the tour setlist! Woo Hoo! This is the best time to be a fan with MB’s concerts and we may have a Michael Bolton Charities event later in the year, we never know. Michael has multiple projects in the works and he is good at keeping us guessing. I appreciate the opportunity to start a new thread once again for 2017 to give us all a place to share the best part of being a fan--- experiencing Michael in person doing what he does best-SING!!!!!!
I am looking forward to another fun year of posts and sharing great times by the best Michael Bolton fans in the world on this forum. I will post events to keep the thread moving along as the concerts come up as I have in the past.
Let the year long concert party begin and I wish concerts for all of you in 2017!! I know many fans are on other social media sites but I do hope we can continue with the exciting tour reviews here in 2017! You all make the thread fun.
Happy Concert Time again in 2017!!

I heard from a gal via Twitter that was at Windsor and she said the show was great and he did do Old Time Rock and Roll. That's all I really know tho.

Thought appropriate place to share these two pics which Caesars Windsor, Ontario, Canada have shared of Michael signing the Colosseum Column which would appear those who have performed at theatre all sign. One pic shows Michael signing the column and other shows close up of his signature and quite honestly, by the look of number of signatures, it is amazing he found a space for his !!! lol

THINGS TO DO

Mushy love and sappy romance is synonymous with one soft rock balladeer: Michael Bolton.
With more than 53 million albums and singles sold worldwide and a career that spans over four decades, Bolton has become a household name in the pop rock genre. He and his signature raspy vocals will perform at Spotlight 29 Casino in Coachella Saturday, March 11.
Bolton said he is always conscious of performing what his fans want to hear – his greatest hits. Known for classic ballads, such as “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” “When a Man Loves a Woman” and “That’s What Love is All About,” the singer, who now has 27 albums in his catalog, said each of his songs has a special meaning behind them for him and his fans.
Because of this, Bolton said he understands the importance of performing the songs his audience knows, while at the same time, introducing new varieties to keep his concerts fresh.
“I often get messages and letters about certain songs that marked important moments in their lives and so they are coming to celebrate those experiences,” said Bolton, “I also like to introduce my audience to new musical genres and guests. Every time I record a new album, we incorporate a few of those songs into the set, so the repertoire is always evolving.”
For many longtime artists, staple songs tend to feel monotonous after years of performing them, but Bolton said his classics have their own unique story, which makes them extra valuable for him to perform.
“'How Am I Supposed to Live Without You’ is especially emotional for me because it was a song I wrote when I was a struggling artist, and when Laura Branigan’s recording made it to number one, that song changed my life and the life of my family,” said Bolton, “When I recorded it later and it went to number one again, earning me a Grammy, well, my career was off. Everything changed.”
Bolton’s 1991 Grammy Award-winning cover song “When a Man Loves a Woman” also holds a special place in his heart:
“It represented me standing up to my label, who didn’t want me to put the song on the album because of the Percy Sledge version that was still being played on the radio,” said Bolton, “But I went with my instinct, which was to pay homage to one of my heroes, stand up to the mic and give it all I had. That song became my second Grammy and my biggest hit.”
Bolton is very active on his social media, consistently posting photos and updates of his whereabouts on Twitter and Facebook, and even asking for feedback from his fans last year about what songs he should record for his new 10-track album, "Songs of Cinema," which features tributes to iconic movies. Songs include “As Time Goes By” from “Casablanca,” “I’ve Got a Woman” from “Ray,” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz.”
“Social media has been amazing. At first I admit I was a bit skeptical and maybe surprised to see what fans wanted to hear or see, like me with my cup of coffee,” said Bolton, “But it’s really cool to be able to get their personal comments and also with my recent album ‘Songs of Cinema,’ to get their input in what they would like to listen to next.”
The album also features a duet of “I Will Always Love You” with Dolly Parton (from “The Bodyguard”), who Bolton said was especially an honor because she wrote the song. He has revealed a playful side to his career, like his ‘Saturday Night Live’ digital short with Lonely Island “Captain Jack Sparrow” – which is also featured on the new album – and the 2015 “Funny or Die” video where he pokes fun of himself as Michael Bolton on the movie “Office Space.”
And he's been all over Netflix with the new variety special “Michael Bolton’s Big Sexy Valentine’s Day Special,” which features the pop singer performing classic hits amongst a variety of sketches with popular comedians, including Lonely Island’s Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone, Sarah Silverman, Fred Armisen, Maya Rudolph and Casey Wilson.
Although he has had fun with the comedy bits, Bolton said he stays focused with his music career, consistently writing and touring. Now 64, he said his best advice is “don’t ever give up” and his fans can expect “more music, more television, more comedy and more live performances” in the years to come.
