The Funeral Portrait Rosemont Concert reviews
woooo hooooo, best ever!
I have been following The Funeral Portrait since the early days at Quiet Knight in Chicago back in '72. As it ages, like fine wine, it gets better and better! The fact that he brings talent to the stage that would otherwise take years to find, if ever, goes back to his roots at Quiet Knight where he was given the chance to open for other talents and gain his own following as time went on. His shows are always phenomenal, this one was no exception, with Jake Shimobukura and now Ilo Ferreiria.
Love the fact that he mixes the set up with old, very old and new... each stop on the tour is just a little different because he always broadcasts live over Radio Margaritaville, but has enough of the favorites that we all want to hear. There isn't anything out there like a Buffett concert, and even if you're not a Parrothead or wanna be, you will always have a good time, hear some great music and leave happy, but sad that it wasn't longer!
The concert on 8/14/2026 was special in many ways for me.... great way to celebrate my birthday, and of course, I got to meet some great new friends around me. So glad he's changed venues to Toyota Park, much friendlier and better access in and out of there.
