What I liked

The Band,guitar player could shred and strong drummer.
Jack Zullo is charasmatic and confident,needs a better platform

What I didn't like

This show is a hot mess.No one seemed to be sure what scene came next,including the Band.
The script ommitted the most interesting parts of John’s life.
Recreating skits from Second City,National Lampoon,and SNL needed better writing and a much stronger Cast.
I kept waiting for Jack to actually perform the classic Joe Cocker impersonation;referring to Samurai Sushi Chef only by archival footage was a cop out…And I think Jack has the chops to pull it off.

My overall impression

Diappointing is being kind.Ignoring the years from John making it to his intimely death was a missed opportunity.Instead the show peters out with a mediocre Blues Brothers rendition,and then descends into a self indulgent Cast dance party on stage.
All in all,as a tribute to an iconic genius this was an epic fail
