Rise Against

Such a good show! Would definitely go see them again and again!

Biffy Clyro was shirts off THE band to catch!! Loved getting to see them live!!

I've never heard of Biffy, but they opened really well. As far as Rise goes, it was a much different experience than when I saw them at pops with Rancid. The vocals were wrecked. Tim had a bit of a culty preachy vibe happening for a bit, which threw me off. But then, I wasn't the audience he was sending the message to. I got over that stuff real fast as they played a fantastic mix of their songs. Swing life away, good left undone, survive, and my daughter was so happy to have them end with savior ( her fave and she thought they were not gonna play the song she wanted to hear the most). Also, The venue was fantastic.

This was an awesome show all the way around. I had never seen Billy Talant. Thought they roocked, they definately didn't suck!! And Rancid....What do you write about some of the founders of this style of music? They were incredible!! And Rise Against...Still rocking it, with a message! It was great to see them play old school stuff as well as new stuff. If you even remotely like Rise Against...run to see them. You won't be disappointed.

Show was great. Good set. Loved the video back drop of cars and pictures of the band. Wish they would have played more from the first album. But this is my 3rd time seeing them.

it was the best concert ive seen in a long time. Billy Talent was incredable, Rancid was unforgettable and Rise Against was the best of the night!

I know that rancid was technically one of the opening acts, but to me this show was always a rancid concert with rise against and billy talent playing at it too. Rancid is legendary and they sounded absolutely amazing. The pit was so much fun. I'm stoked to see rancid the next time they come to Seattle and scream Roots Radical at the top of my lungs all over again.

So @ the Wamu theater in Seattle is a great place to see a show. The sound is usually pretty good there, they have he seats far enough back but still close enough to the stage that people who just want to sit and watch can, while the rest of us have plenty of space to stand, jump up and down, and occasionally mosh. Billy Talent (Who I had never heard of) from Toronto were really good, and it turns out I actually knew 2 of their songs, even though I didn't know who they were. Great opener. Rancid was solid, and even inspired me to get in the pit a couple times. Towards the end of their set though, it seemed like the energy may have dropped a little. Then came Rise Against... They were incredible! I had high expectations and they did not disappoint. Song after song, done perfectly. Lots of energy. Even though I was standing towards the side of the stage (great view, just deaf in one ear now) where some of the people were just standing around, they had me pumping my fist in the air and jumping up and down like I was in the mob in the middle. During Hero of War, a song I didn't like until this show, you coud feel the emotion as they played it. It as very cool. Dancing for Rain was done so well with the intro being played slowly at first on piano that I was blown away. They didn't play Life Less Frightening or Injection, but most of my other favorites were played and played perfectly. They were so tight, that they added change ups and extended break downs most likely to let everyone know that they were not playing along with their record. This show would get 5 stars were it not for the fact that the time between Rancid and Rise Against was WAY too long, and the loss of energy during Rancid's set preceding the break anyway.

The sound quality of Rise Against was so terrible and far too loud. It sounded like a muddled mess and songs were completely urecognizable. The melodic punk and the strong vocals that make Rise Against a decent act were not there at all. MAJOR disappointment. The only thing that saved it was Rancid. They've still got it and put on a hell of a show and sounded 1,000 times better than RA.

Show was awesome! I love Rise against and I had listened to Rancid back in high school and never got to see them then so it was great to see them, they still rock! Billy Talent is a really great punk band also, if you haven't heard them before check them out, they're almost as good as the other two,

Great show ! I would totally recommend. They played some favorites, older songs, and some new ones. That really got everyone into it!! A good time.

Rise against finally made it back to Seattle! Billy Talent rocked pretty good, what can you say about Rancid. It felt great to be able to see them in such a great venue. They are still one of the most important bands to ever play and still have every ounce of energy they have always had. Rise Against knocked it out of the park. I think that they put on one of the best shows that i've ever been to. Start to finish, a perfect blend of like minded people, audience and band who gave it all and had a blast doing it.

Great concert! Rise Against was incredible! We see them everytime they are within driving distance and are never disappointed.

This was the first time that I saw Rise Against live, and their performance was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I highly recommend fans of Rise Against to see them live, it was great!!

Though Rise Against was the head liner Rancid stole the show like always. Billy Talent was a fantastic opener with a lot of energy and got the crowd moving. Rise Against wasn't awesome in my opinion, but then again I've never really been a fan of theirs.

The concert was awesome minus Rancid in my opinion.

I love billy talent, rancid and rise against. I heard from a friend in Wisconsin that Rancid sucked and it was all new stuff but at the Seattle show they played plenty of old stuff and a ton of songs from And Out Come The Wolves. Way awesome. But their new stuff still sucks.. Rise Against was so incredible. There were 2 pits going on at once and the whole crowd up front was awesome. 98% percent of the people there were awesome. You will always have a few jerks in there. But it was super awesome. Rise against played an incredible show. SO good.

This concert was amazing; I love Rise Against they are my favorite band and I was so excited to see them live. I don't even know how to describe it. My husband has never been to a concert in his life so when we went he was like a kid in a candy store. The building wasn't too crowdy and there was plenty of parking. I had a lot of fun and I will never forget that night.

I wish this tour had come to Portland, but other than that it was amazing. Billy Talent was alright. Some people were really into them. I didn't really know their stuff. Rancid and Rise Against are in my top 5 favorites though. I thought I was getting to old for the pit, but I couldn't resist for the Rancid set. Much fun singing along and dancing in circles. I wasn't super stoked on the Rancid setlist. They didn't do some of my favorites, but I was still singing along to every one. Rise Against played a lot of new stuff with one or two off each of the older albums. Really good and lots of energy.

LOVED THE SHOW!!! The guys killed it on stage and I can't wait to go back and see them again! Only complaint was the parking since there wasn't many clear signs for it so my friend and I ended up missing LetLive open up the show....but we did rock out!

This was a great show. Loved the opening band Radkey and Rise Against was incredible live as always. Amazing energy and wonderful performance!

This night was definitely one I'll remember for a long time.The band was amazing live! The crowd and the atmosphere were awesome; they jumped/went crazy to nearly every song, and the venue was also very nice. I can't wait to go back!

I been loving rise against for 10 Years I got to finally see them live for the first time the show is amazing they are amazing I love them so much they opening acts were great!..emocore and punk amazing love it!! I had such a blast the crowd was amazing I cried when I first saw them come out !! It was the best day of my 21 year old life !!

high energy, excellent sound, fantastic material.... this band sounds as great live as they do in recordings. great show!

They always put on a great show! This show was so amazing that the next day I bought tickets and went to the 2nd night too

Bottom line the show was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great show Rise Against was amazing. Awesome energy and played a good amount of songs

Even though I was in the noes-bleeds, I had a blast. One of the advantages of being near LA we got a huge surprise in seeing Tom Morrelo and the singer of MC5 perform two songs. Rise Against covered a song by No Use For A Name.

Amazing concert! Friendly staff & people all around. & Rise Against sound & perform amazing live. If youre a fan or just like rock shows, Rise Against is highly recommended.

All the bands that played were great,Rise against live was even the far best performance I've ever seen. That unexpected performance at the end with all the famous musicians was a 2 thumbs up. Definitely will be back to a Rise Against concert =)

What a great show! Hot Water Music and Gaslight Anthem rocked as well!!! Rise Against far exceeded my expectations.

I have been wanting to see Rise Against for about 6 years now. I am so excited to have been able to go. I took my best friend with me and we had so much fun. He kept me from going home with my leg in a cast again like I did at another concert. I can't wait for them to come back to the Houston area again. They are an amazing band who are passionate, avalible to their fans, and use their voice to try and make a difference. I love their involvement in animal rights, trying to get people involved to make a difference, and their strong support to get out, register, and vote. They are all in all amazing. I hope they stay true to who they are and what they are about.

Fun show a day to remember is always amazing second year i've seen them and rise against i actually forgot who they were and when i heard them and remembered who they were they were actually amazing.

I've seen Rise Against three times in concert and it never gets old! They always put on an awesome show and I promise you won't regret going to one. And I've recently started listening to A Day to Remember as a result of the show and they're really good.

This show was incredible. Many thanks to the Masquerade and its staff. Definitely one of the best 30+ shows I've been to.

adtr & rise against did a great job! i crowed surf

This was my 4th time seeing ADTR, and that is why I mainly went. If you have never seen ADTR, i'd highly suggest going! :) They always put on a super intense show, and by intense I really mean it. Jeremy had people surf on crowd surfers. I have NEVER experienced that! They always throw toilet paper and beach balls out during either All Signs... or All I Want. And of course, Jeremy gets in his hamster ball during Homesick. They are seriously my favorite band EVER and they never seem to fail to amaze me! Only dissapointment was when they didnt play This Is The House That Doubt Built and Mr. Highway's Thinking About The End. :(

Amazing it was my first concert ever and I want to go see them again maybe next time they can come to New Hampshire so all my friends could see them too.

I didn't have high expectations for the opening acts, but A Day to Remember BLEW ME AWAY! They were awesome! So friendly and funny!! Energetic!! Great music, great voices...Everything. They were a lot of fun!!! Then Rise Against...Damn. They were incredible. Best concert I have been to yet. I will definitely be seeing them both again. :)

Amazing. So amazing. SO AMAZING. BEYOND AMAZING. AHHHHHMAZING.

Let me just say this show was the best I have ever been to in my life!! I loved my seats!!! Jeremy Mckinnon waved right to me, and AHHHHHHH!!!! ADTR was just amazing!!! Really they were the only reason i was going to the show cuz i'm just a huge fan and they're my favorite band!!! Well, i know a couple of Rise Against songs (the songs i knew were like majority of the set ahahah) but when they started playing, it was just beautiful!!!!!!!! Title Fight was awful tho, but other thn that, BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE EVER!!!

Great show first time seeing Rise Against and I was not disappointed the songs are still playing in my head... A day to remember was great loved the way the you guys interacted with the crowd made me want to be down in the pit! AWESOME SHOW ALL AROUND

Ok, I may have been the oldest one out on the floor and yes i may have brought my kids (13 and 10) but they both love ADTR and Rise Against and so do I. I love sharing music and the experience with my kids - we go to about 20 shows a year - but this was by far one of my favorites.

The Menzingers... are whatever... actually sound a lot like Rise Against.. But ADTR and Rise Against just took the show. ADTR played about 15, and Rise Against did 21. It is always fun seeing ADTR, moshing, throwing beach balls and toilet paper around, and rolling Jeremy around in a big ball. Rise Against is also great. They have great Energy and "deep" songs.

I took my boyfriend to his first concert. His favorite band is Rise Against. I love A Day To Remember. We got thrown into a most pit, which we did not appreciate. And the crowd was really rough, even with the girls. But the music and the bands were absolutely amazing. If you want a great performance, and dont mind being thrown around in a crowd, this is the kinda show you wanna see. Had an amazing night! 5th row, heck yea!

This concert was absolutely amazing. The seats and view were great, and the sound was awesome. The bands were energetic and really into it. They performed and exceeded expectation. I would love to see them again.

The Menzingers (whom I hadn't heard of) were pretty good. A Day to Remember had their largest indoor concert, and I personally consider it the best of the night. A Day to Remember and Rise Against are my two of my favorite bands, so to be able to see them together was unimaginable. I will dream about this concert for years. I absolutely loved it. I sang along with all my favorite songs, most of which they played. I can't think of a better birthday / Christmas present than those tickets. :D

Considering the fact that Rise Against is from Chicago, the concert could not have been sicker. Its Sunday, just two days after the concert and I am still stoked from the concert. Cant wait to see them back in Chicago. Such a great band!

Even though it was only my first concert, I must say I was really impressed! Towards the end of the show someone got hurt in the mosh pit, and Rise Against stopped mid-song to make sure they were alright and to get them attention. I don't think many other bands would have done that. It was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to see them again!

Great show. Security was on point. Sound and acoustics were amazing. Overall a great time!

Just great show by the Piercing the Veil and AMAZING SHOW BY RISE AGAINST!!!!

This was the first time in Detroit for this Festival! And I wasn't disappointed! The 2 stage schedule was amazing. I must say, running shoes are recommended. Unfortunately the Rise Against set was after A Day to Remember and lots of fans left before this awesome band played. The small rain and wind didn't keep remaining fans from jamming out. Highly recommend attending one of these festivals!!!

All the bands were great But Issues was my favorite Love seeing them live

Had to be the greatest concert I have ever been to without a doubt. Being able to see them so close and full of energy was amazing.

Totally awesome, fantastic performance, as expected !!! Can not wait to see them again !! Stone pony summer stage great venue, would def go there again as well.

I followed them across the United States and every show is absolutely choc full of energy! The guys really know how to keep a crowd going! One of the few bands out there that actually stand for something.

Great show at a great venue. All staff were helpful and pleasant. Getting in was a bit of a chore but with today's world that is to be expected. Great time.

Even though it was close to 100 degrees outside, it was such a great place to have a concert at. FYI, GA seats are mosh pit seats, so first come first serve. The crowd was alive and the bands were just on point! I would definitely go back for another :)

This was probably my 10th time seeing Rise Against, and as usual, they killed it. Being a Chicago native, I was fortunate enough to see them as they started out and played more small and intimate venues, however, their energy level creates an incredible atmosphere in itself, even at the bigger shows. My friend and I lucked out by scoring some VIP passes from some gentlemen leaving the show, so we were able to watch RA from above in a less crowded and heated area (even though it was still in the 100's from the Vegas heat). Deftones did a great job as well, along with Thrice and the other opener (did not catch their names).

Had an awesome time! Deftones definitely killed it!!!! The bartenders also allowed you to make your own combination of drinks, which was awesome! I'm a huge Rise Against fan, and Tim wasn't signing at his best in the beginning, he redeemed himself during the seconday half. Overall, I had a grest time!

Everything was amazing. We had an incredible time overall. We bought GA floor tickets and were like 1 or 2 ppl from the rail. The only draw back to venue was that the main sets on speakers were directly above us so it was difficult to understand at times. If the speakers were moved back I think that would solve it

Really liked one of the opening acts--Thrice. However, I was there to see Deftones. After waiting almost 20 years, finally got my chance & they didn't let me down. They came w/ energy and great vibes. Was lucky enough to get a spot on the rail & enjoyed every minute. GREAT PERFORMANCE!!

Rise Against is amazing, and Daily's Place is really cool. I only wish Rise Against had a longer set.

Absolutely loved the show. I've been waiting years to see these bands and hey did not disappoint. It was a real treat to see Thrice as well. Deftones were amazing and put on a great performance, and Rise Against had some of the best energy I've felt at a show in a long time. Sound was great, crowd was great, bands were great.

The Rise Against performance was good. If you like fast rifts and loud music I would highly recommend seeing a Rise Against show. However, this band would be more suitable to a younger crowd. You are standing up for the entire concert and will get roughed up. It's more for hardcore concert-goers

I love my band!! Great show!! This is my third show this year and everytime is awesome!

one of the best shows every. if you haven't seen KSE live then you are missing out.

Best live show I've seen all year! I would highly recommend anyone to see these guys ...

Excellent show! The band we're great! Friendly, engaging, fun, and rocked!

Show quality was phenomenal as always. Rise has so much energy and their songs have such a powerful meaning behind them.

This was the first time seeing Rise Against and they were incredible. They had so much energy and sounded Amazing!!!! I will definitely be going to see them again. KSE was also incredible. I had seen them once with Howard and also once before with Jesse and I wasn't impressed the second time, however this time, they were great! Sidenote: people were smoking and I did NOT like that. We were IN a building and I had smoke in my face. That's not OK.

Amazing venue, bands were better than i imagined i will definitely go back to freedom hall for more concerts

I hadn't seen any of the bands before so was really looking forward to the 'Live' energy and wasn't disappointed! Letlive was a lot better than I had anticipated and Killswitch Engage was good as well. Rise Against hit the stage and took it to a whole other level puting the crowd into a frenzy! They played for almost 2 hours and were amazing from beginning to end! Overall it was a GREAT night!

I have to be honest, I only went for Rise Against because they're my favorite band and I've never seen then in concert. I didn't care for anyone before them, though I had friends that were really into Killswitch Engage and Chevelle. I did appreciate that Killswitch stopped playing to make sure someone in the pit was okay, while Chevelle ignored someone getting walked out with blood dripping down his face. Anyway, Rise Against was better live than I expected them to be and they were even amusing when joking around, talking about Pittsburgh and so forth. I would definitely recommend that anyone that just likes their music, to some degree, see them.

Absolutely incredible show! Killswitch, Chevelle, and Rise totally ROCKED. The weather was miserable but at least they had water hoses to spray the crowd.

Absolutely incredible! One of my friends went crowd surfing to them for the first time ever. Him and I agree that this is the one of the greatest concerts we've ever been to.

Let Live killed it! It's always good to get an autograph cheap too! I scored an autographed cd of Rise Against new album for just the price of the CD. X-fest needs to be annual no layoffs!

Got to the show late, but Chevelle and Rise Against did not disappoint. 100% will not miss either band the next time they come to town

my 4th Rise Against show - crowd was enthusiastic as always, lots of body surfing, very energetic. 1st time to see a show at Festival Pier - great locale, although parking is a bit far, but enjoyed the (sand around kiosks that served beer or food) plenty of port o potties. sounded great as well. no seating, but everyone was dancing anyway, so not needed.

Real quick note: ADTR and The Metzingers are really good bands and I enjoyed them but... ...Rise Against is the only band I was interested in seeing. I saw them for the first time in July 2009 at the House of Blues Myrtle Beach, SC and they were great. The next day I met my girlfriend and wevewbeen together ever since. The day before the concert January 21 2012 i asked her to marry me and she said yes. It seems that this band plays a huge part in my life and I will always love their music and their message.

Every song was epic! Tim has a voice like an angel, Brandon kicks ass on the drums, Joe rules the bass and Zach ripped!! They're the best!!!

Possibly due to the fact that rise against is my favorite band, but I have been to a handful of some really great concerts and none can compare to the energy they gave. Perfect line up and transitions.

Just amazing ADTR did very well despite me not liking them but Rise Against took the house definitely great stage present and just amazing with vocals and band line up!

This show was grrrrrreat!!!!! Except the pepperspray in the hallway downstairs to start. that was rough. Besides that, Bad Religion, Rocked, they still got it, after all these years. Played a great setlist, that the crowd really enjoyed. Rise Against started with a bang and ended with one too, and it was Fan Tastic

I'll admit I didn't know much about the first band at all but their charisma and stage presence was entertaining. I've seen Bad Religion one other time and this time was as flawless as the last they are on point and worth multiple shows. I had not seen bad religion but the sincerity in their message along with the immense energy made for a spectacular performance.

Given I've been a Bad Religion & Rise Against diehard fan for the last 10 years+, I think the show was as good as it gets. I've seen Bad Religion once before and Rise Against 2 times before and this concert hit those expectations & was still refreshingly new. I'd have gotten tickets to the May 14 show if I could have. The only downside was the Venue has less than stellar acoustics. If you were standing on the perimeter, it was materially different in quality sound vs. the floor & pit & stage.

Great show, great times all the way around. They could've played longer than an hour and 10 minutes but it was still amazing.

AMAZING SHOW. Best first (real) concert experience I could have asked for. Rise Against is my favorite band of all time and my inspiration for how I live my life. I was second row from the front and it was just beyond amazing. Only downside was Electric Factory was small and the moshers really didn't help any. And it was very hot inside. Other than that it was still freaking awesome. Hands down, best experience yet.

Show was absolutely incredible. Bad Religion can still put on a fiery live show and Rise Against have amazing energy.

The concert itself was incredible...but afterwards...it was even better. So as we're walking out, we notice the tour buses are parked near the woods...and that there are nature trails through said woods. So, naturally, we wander through them and wind up right by the buses. Of course, the security guard yelled at us to get out. First reaction? Hide in the bushes. For an hour. Finally, security found us and kicked us out...again, and we sat on the curb by the exit. Then security left, and we decided to try our luck again and made our way back in by the buses. Once we made it in, one of Rise Against's techs came out of their bus and told us that if we stood aside the band MIGHT come out to meet us. And they did. For a good fifteen minutes. It was an amazing. We were so mindblown, we could hardly think of anything to say.

The venue was really cool and relxed,with a Sick dose of punk to make it a night to remember.Where I come from u wait for blue moons such as this. Thanks to the bands.It was Legendary

Wow. Heard them on the radio and my kids like them. Having grown up in the 80's, it is more guitar oriented and more my style than most of the radio stuff played today, so I agreed to go. It was all guitars and drums and .. LOUD!! Very cool.

All three bands: Four Year Strong, Bad Religion, and Rise Against, put on fantastic shows. Four Year Strong opened with great energy, and a new lineup. Their new sound is really good, and their set was a cohesive playlist, featuring their most popular songs. Bad Religion followed, and was entertaining, both musically and as people. They are just incredibly intelligent and seem friendly. Highlights from the two sets were What The Hell Is A Gigawatt by FYS and American Jesus by Bad Religion. Rise Against obviously had much higher funding, given how much more attractive their stage set up and lights were so different from the other performers. They were really nice as people , however, and they complimented both the audience and the previous bands frequently and sincerely. Highlights from their set were Ready to Fall, Satellite and their closer, Give It All. The crowd was awful and boring during Four Year Strong's set, mediocre during Bad Religion's set, and quite good during Rise Against. That said, it was awful to not be able to dance or jump because I was seated rather than in GA.

I've seen several hundred shows, including Rise Against once before. In 18 years of hard core concert going I can honestly say this is going in my top five. An awesome rating when only behind shows like Pink Floyd, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, and Slipknot! Thanks Tim and co. for an energy filled, loud ass, fist in the air, incredible night. P.S. St. Augustine Ampitheatre rocks!!!

Rise Against was great! Both bands put on a great show!

I enjoyed Bad Religion as well, I forgot how good they are!! Rise Against was very good & their energy was very high!! They played their butts off & included the crowd in alot of the songs. I would say if you haven't seem them live, than YOU MUST!!!

Both Rise Against and Bad Religion sound phenomenal live. The combination of their command of the audience, stage presence, and live sound make this show a must see. This concert was so much fun that I wish I had the time and money to catch the tour's next stop. I can't wait to see them again in the future and recommend them to anyone who wants to witness a great rock performance, regardless of whether you're a fan of the bands. As for the WaMu Theater, it is a fairly decent venue. Plenty of room for moving around, plenty of seating if you want it, and very easy to get around. The sound quality there is okay, but if you have bands like RA and BR playing, their caliber outweighs the acoustic shortcomings of the venue. I will caveat this by saying that WaMu seems to be more of a rock-style venue; that is, somewhere to sing and dance and be loud. I don't know how great it would be for a small, intimate acoustical performance. Regardless, it was a good place to see some phenomenal bands. I would definitely go there to see other rock concerts.

Take a band like Rise Against that is growing and still writting great music... Invite Bad Religion into the mix who never lets down live (see them at least 5 times over the last 15 years) or on their records... and you have a really great show worth spending $50 on. The openning band Four Year Stong played so good, and mixed their old and new material really well that I was satisfied with the show as soon as they finished their set. Excellent is all I can say about them. Never forget the fans come to SEE a band not their Light SHOW - so Rise Against set was ruined for me by all the obnoxious lights that made it at times impossible to see the band. Couldnt see their drummer at all! Bad Religion dazzled and I was hesitant when I saw a different drummer but he nailed it. The get the top pick with Four Year Strong coming in a very close second.

F'in killed it!!! Wish I could go back and watch the show all over again! I love you guys!

Bad Religion came out and put on a damn fine show. They even played some of their stuff from their first album. Rise Against came out and the light show on stage was so blinding that the only way I could tell it was them was from the sound. Later my friend I went to the side of the stage and it was better and could actually SEE the band. Rise Against had a great encore where they engaged the crowd and talked more. Finished with some great hits from previous albums.
