Rusted Root

Devon Allman opened for Rusted Root and show was awesome. One of the best I have been to in a long time!! I hope they come back for a second round! Saw Rusted Root last when I was 18 and 17 years later they sound even better. Venue was perfect, sound was perfect. So great!

I wasn't feeling Rusted Root, so I left after their second song. Besides, how could they follow the amazing Toad the Wet Sprocket??? It was unfair to make them go last! The only criticism I have about this concert, really, is that the venue needs to provide better sound quality. Some of the microphones were so low that you could not hear the voices. Overall, the voices were overpowered by the instruments, but especially some key harmonies were missing from the songs because of it.

Rusted Root is ALWAYS a great show but to see them up close and personal in the intimate Event Center at Bethel Woods was phenomenal!!! I love small venues and would absolutely go to a show in the Event Center again! Rusted Root is one of the BEST shows to see live!!!

Unexpected awesome night!! We go to countless shows, concerts are our guilty pleasure, if it looks remotely interesting, we buy tickets...they were amazing!! We stood front and center and danced all night. They have a great vibe and actually come out into the crowd to meet their fans after the show.

Great show!!, It was Hot ,but Jannus Landing is a favorite Place to see shows! Different drummer though. He was good but the last one kicked it a knoch!

This is the 3rd time I have been to a Rusted Root show. . . all at different venues. They always jam out. Rusted Root is without a doubt in my top 3 favorite performers. I will see them live anytime I have the opportunity! Love them!!!

This was my 4'th root concert and they never let me down.

A totally different vibe with the new members.....I actually left the concert before they left the sage. It's a far cry from their shows in the late 1990's. And what the hell is with selling their song to the Citgo gas folks for a commercial.....Have they gone insane?

I would have to say that the rusted root show at house of blues was the most entertaining live show I have seen at HOB in a long long time

This is my 4th time seeing this band live. I enjoy them more and more everytime i see them. The band is excelent and truly has fun on stage. They even invited the audience to an after party after the show!

It didn't matter to us, really... we were right up by the stage, and enjoyed the space. But the show was phenomenal, and it seemed a shame the band is a bit under-appreciated by Central Florida. At first, the show was a bit subdued-- perhaps the lack of a full house was disheartening to the band? But they heated up fairly quickly. Gave us a tight, creative blend of their old and new work. And a 5 song encore! (rare at HOB from my experience)

Great band. I miss the second female voice, but that's just me! Really enjoyed the show. Thanks to the band for coming. I'd love to see them in Lexington.

Rusted Root delivers a lively, flawless, engergized show every time I see them. I live in Louisville and travel to cities close by for every show. (I wish they would come to Louisville more often.) The music makes me happy, makes me dance and I am never disappointed when I see The Root!

If you have the opportunity to see this band---Go! They are so fun and talented but you better bring your dancing shoes cuz they make you want to dance. I will go every opportunity I have. Smaller venue which is also very nice.

Rusted Root was AWESOME!!!! I was sick all day and questioning if I'd be able to make the show. Once the music started I couldn't stop dancing. The venue was great, and the band was amazing. They have such a unique sound..music to heal any wounded soul!

Concert was awesome! Saranac Brewery was a nice and personal feel with a view of the stage the whole show! I've seen Rusted Root in the past and they were just as good if not better! Timeless music...Energetic! ! ! Thanks for the positive energy!

Everyone danced and was super nice. The concert was awesome!! Definitely would recommend going and seeing them.

I've seen Rusted Root many times over the years. I will never see them again. They didn't seem to be having any fun and so neither did we.

The concert was short, partly for lack of an opening band. The original members of Rusted Root played well, as did a 20 something drummer. A couple strange, acoustic electric sounds, but it brought back memories.

Great concert at a great venue! Live shows at penns peak, they are always well attended but not crowded. The band was great!

Opening act was a local funk bank named Infatuations. They seemed to enjoy themselves on stage and their musical talent was pretty good. A few of the songs were very similar, so I tuned out for those and did some people watching from the balcony. The bar had a pretty good selection of beer. The bartender who waited on us and the other staff we engaged were all really pleasant. Rusted Root was awesome - they played a good list of songs and they sounded excellent even in this very small venue. My only wish is that they change up their set list occasionally to include songs other than ones from When I Woke. I fell in the love with the band on that album, but they have a great catalog of music choose from. They don't need to keep playing Send me on my way every show.

Very tight functional band. Awesome energy, missed flute and extra percussion, all in all very well played concert, great environment, still rockin after all these years!!!

Great song selection , excellent musicianship , all vocals were dead on. Apparently there is a seasonal ticket and for some reason the older folks decided not to come which did detract a bit. Bur once everyone was up dancing it was nice to have the extra room. I couldn't be happier with the show. They never disappoint.

Best show I've seen them do!!! Great venue and location! Love that they cam out after the show to sign stuff!

The weather was beautiful, the other bands were great But no one is as good as Rusted Root live!! Best touring band ever

I have been listening to Rusted Root since I was a teenage (now 34 years old) and I always liked there music. Never really had a huge need to see them in concert though. I have seen The Wailers a few times in the past and they have been great. I have to say Rusted Root definitely outperformed The Wailers and were much better live than I thought they would be. They were fun, entertaining and sounded amazing.

The Warm Up Adam Ezra Band was very good and very entertaining. The Wailers do the old Marley songs great, and Rusted Root is one of our favorites, Excellent. Good all around show./

one of themost fun show ever! i came home soaking wet... from dancing all night. ONE LOVE.

I never expected to be as entertained as I was at this show. The openers were very good and then the Wailers got us to lively up ourselves. Rusted Root took every bit of energy left and left the crowd very satisfied.

Amazing show! All of the bands were great. Highly recommend this show.

When I bought the tickets for this event, I was totally convinced that Rusted Root was the main act, so I was disappointed to learn that the were on before the Wailers. But, they were given the same amount of time as the Wailers and once again, they put on a fantastic spirited set. Drawing songs mostly from When I Woke, the band had me up and dancing, (which is something I just cannot refrain from doing when RR is playing). The crowd was predominately Wailers fans, so we actually moved to the side section so we could get up and dance without disturbing the sitting Wailers fans. The venue itself was very nice. I had attending Rutgers from 82 to 86 and I don't really remember knowing about this historic theater. I was told it went through a "dark" period so perhaps that was during my time there. The theater is beautiful, comfortable and the sound was great. The staff there was helpful and very friendly. My only complaint is the $10 12oz cans of beer. I understand the theater is a non-profit, so I guess I can just mark that down as a donation.

The acoustics of the Uptown Theater are generally great. This group had some serious audio production problems. Mixing was worse than awful.

I went to this because of Rusted Root, and ended up enjoying the second half of the concert with The Wailers more. Maybe it was our location (mezzanine) but, for my taste, Rusted Root seemed to have way too much amplification. The instruments overwhelmed the vocals and my husband said he felt the sound was distorted. I wondered whether that was somewhat intentional,as it seemed the vocal range of the lead was diminished, when it was able to be heard (sore throat? Illness?). I found myself marvelling at techinically visual things, such how the songs flowed into each other without a full break for applause and how the drummer never got to stop at all. I felt the drummer did not get as full an applause at the end of the RR part of the concert as he was due. The volume for The Wailers was less problematic --you could actually pick up most of the lyrics -- and they had a more theatrical presence. I just enjoyed the music. You cannot beat this for value, though: almost 3 hours of professional music for $33, without having to haul into Chicago.

Rusted Root opened, probably my 4th time seeing them live. One of my top ten fave bands! High energy set, with a pretty high energy audience for mostly older crowd. New & older material done. Great to hear them in a venue with good acoustics. The Wailers were good also. Almost everyone in the fist 20 rows stood up, and remained standing, with the 1st note of the first song. So we moved to empty seats toward the back of the theater. Sound was actually better toward the back, under the balcony. A couple unfamiliar to me songs at the start of the set, then they played most of Legends. Not a lot of spontaneity, it seemed pretty much like a canned set. But I'm not a rabid Wailers fan, and there were most certainly a good number of these folks at the show. I love the Genesee. Just wish there were a good really good eating options within a couple blocks of the theater.

I just saw Rusted Root & Wailers @ The Genesee Theater, and what a great show this was. Rusted Root opened the night - started with Welcome to my Party, and then kept running through several songs from their catalog. They played lots of songs from their debut CD, including lost in the crowd, drum trip, ecstasy, Martyr, and encoring with send me on my way. They played with great energy. The Wailers came on second, and pretty much kept the momentum going. People were on their feet dancing the whole time as they ran through all the hits, and more. Songs included Jammin', could you be loved, redemption song, I shot the sheriff, and many more. All in all a great time. One note - I strongly recommend that The Genesee Theater do more shows there. Easy parking, good sound, good sight lines, and fairly easy to get to. I would like to see more events at this venue.

Rusted Root was great, as expected. The Wailers were an unexpected joy! We danced our hearts out. So much fun!

Overall the show was great but it was very disappointing that they switched up who was the opening band last minute and Rusted Root went on first. Unfortunately I was late thinking I had plenty of time to see the headliner.

Both concerts were great in a great venue. These bands were a lot of fun!

Both new stuff, and their classics, they rocked it better than ever. Albums don't do this band any justice...seeing is believing.

Amazing show, as expected! I first saw RR at a college show 20 years ago and the magic & chemistry of the band has only gotten better. They are truly gifted musicians who still know how to kick ass. The setlist spans the generations and you will be so sorry if you miss this tour!

I saw this band 10 years ago and they are always a great time. At 49 years old i felt like a college kid dancing and feeling great. They are real musicians, not some band that creates their music on a computer. They flow together like a band from the 70s, they harmonize. I would highly recommend this bands and their good vibe, the same happy vibe that i feel when see Michael Franti live.

Amazing band and we danced all night! Excellent!!!

We really enjoyed seeing this band live! The instrumentation was vibrant and the lead singer has a wonderful voice and presence. He even sang an Elvis song which he sang with Rusted Roots style. The percussions take you away. The drummer, although looking like a kid, was wonderful and exciting. Opening act, Larkin and Poe was a totally different vibe. It was very dark music in stark contrast to Rusted Roots and couldn't wait to get to the band we came to see.

They haven't lost any of their sound. Great fun at a great venue.

Checked out rusted root at the new rocksino in Northfield ohio last sat! They sounded great! With the rocksino being so new and built for sound you could hear all rusted roots sound and percussions loud and clear! What a great night! Seen them many times but like i said their sound was great! Only downfall; seats? Wish they had a standing room only in front of the stage but it was still great! Thanks

This was our first time to the venue, and we loved it! No bad seats! Rusted Root put on an amazing performance! They really connected with the diverse audience...would definitely go to see them again and would also see other performances at this venue.

This was my first Rusted Root concert and it will definitely NOT be my last!! They were absolutely amazing...from the moment they came on the stage til the moment they left the stage (after the encore, of course)! I will be going to every show in my area from now on. I cannot express enough how good they were...they had the crowd in the palm of their hands...it was fantastic!

This was my second time seeing Rusted Root and of course I was not disappointed!! As this was our first time at Penns Peak in Jim Thorpe PA, we were very pleased at this venue! Very nice place! The awesome feel of high quality top notch concert performance with a small more personal intimate feel! Loved it!!! Devon Allman opening act was not a disappointment !! He brought the crowd to excitement and earned my respect and praise! Rusted Root music and performers will always be among my heart-filled favorites!

Great show in an iconic venue! New drummer was awesome.

The concert was great. There was fireworks at the end that was put on by the city of Indianapolis that was unforgettable. Rusted Root was playing "ecstasy" when the fireworks began and they jammed that song for a solid 7 minutes with fireworks in the background. They had a solid performance and I will not forget this 4th of July. Well worth $10 a ticket!

It was a great day to be in AC. You didn't have to look too far to see the impact that Bob Marley's music has had on this elated audience as virtually everyone knew the words to all of the songs they played. While 15 songs barely skims the surface of their vast catalog, The Wailers certainly gave us all what we came to see and hear. The only way this show could have gotten any better would have been for Bob to have been there singing these amazing songs himself, or if we were in Jamaica on the beach listening. We can all take solace for the fact that his music will continue to have an impact on future generations for years to come.

Not sure there's another band out there that gets people moving and swaying quite like Rusted Root. Saw them for the first time ever last May at the Chameleon and became an instant fan. Have seen them twice in the past 60 days, and may catch them at Ardmore Music Hall on Feb 20. Their albums are great, but they're even better live. Such a unique sound - a lot of African/Latin/island percussion & rhythm, but they can rock it out with the best of 'em. I categorize their music as infectiously addictive. And they're genuinely nice people, signing CD's and other items after the show. Do yourself a favor. Next time they're anywhere near you, get out and catch this band! I guarantee, you'll love 'em!

Wow! Rusted Root was absolutely fantastic! I've been a fan since the early 90's and this show was one of the best yet!!! Thank you Rusted Root for putting on such a great show and also for being such Beautiful People! Holly and I had a blast and thanks for the pics after the show!

Rusted Root is great to see live. the show was a blast and the crowd they draw while smaller than i thought were quite eclectic to say the least! Combine this with a fantastic small venue such as the Sherman Theatre in the heart of Stroudsburg,Pa and you got one hell of a good time ahead of you.

Great show and an early Happy New Year! Love the new album, "Stereo Rodeo".

The concert was awesome. Good crowd with good vibes in the air. They played for a little over 2 hours. Something about seeing Root outside that really gets the primal energy flowing more than an indoor show. Highy Recommended.

they always energize the room and everyone cant help but dance

Great show as always. Awesome set list (although Magenta Radio would have been nice), and good vibes. Patrick. . . you rock! Can't wait to see them at Hampton next year!

Rusted Root, in the simplest way to put it here, is a band NEVER to be missed if you have the opportunity to see, listen, and feel their highly talented musicianship. What else can I say? They're amazing. I bow to them as a fellow musician myself. In short: WOW. keep it up RR! You truly have no equal. Powerful. Meaningful. so forth and so on. If you haven't yet, then go see them. Period. You will NEVER regret it.

After quite some time of being off the road and away from the circuit Rusted Root has come back with a vengance, a new sound a stereo rodeo, rhythm that has never been tighter, and now it all just seems like a great big party, well it always was now wasn't it. Definitely a great scene to see so many of my age group those late 20's early 30's just letting loose and dancing an evening away. A great evening, and a great way to remember those yesteryears. All the hits were played and many new that will surely become hits.

When Root comes to town they usually play Jannus, but as we all wait for that classic venue to re-open, the band found a new home at the State Theatre. I'm not a big fan of a non-smoking theatre for a jam band - can't really get the right kind of buzz going...but the crowd found the plenty bars and didn't seem to mind. Then night started with a great set by Clayton Senne - dang that drummer smacks those skins - and quite unusual to see a band without a lead guitar - but clayton and his rhythm section got the crowd going. When Rusted Root took to the stage they seemed a bit out of sorts - maybe it's the small stage for all their instruments...and the sound set-up seemed to bother a few members. But once they got groovin' it was all the best. They played a very similar set to the one at Jannus in the spring...new stuff from stereo rodeo as well as their classics. The lead singer in just awesome. So powerful. And the band just seems so talented...seems like only the bass player plays one instrument - the rest always have some other sound brewing. I've seen this band about 8 times, and i never leave disappointed...these folks rock, seem to enjoy each other and find such a rich beautiful sound that fills the air and gets everyone grooving. And last night was no exception...not sure there's too many bands that get the sounds of the world to speak so clearly to me.

I have seen Rusted Root 7 times! I love them and recommended to anyone who is a fan that has not seen them yet to go asap. Their stage presence is wonderful ! And They always pic amazing bands to open up for them! Just a must see over all. When you are at a Rusted Root show it is a thrilling experience . If you like to dance be sure to wear your dancing shoes! Have Fun!

This whole show was incredible! I wasn't extremely familiar with either band, but I am definitely a fan for life. I have never been moved so much! Incredible lyrics, vocals, and musicians all around. I had so much fun. There were 4 of us girls, and we danced all night! The band was so hospitable, and even got to kiss the drummers hand. 1 LOVE! This band is definitely a band a come to see from now on. I've already told everyone I know how great they are! Keep jamming!

Be familiar with their catalog before going. Most of their music sounds nothing like their hit singles. They were presented a plaque by the mayor for their diverse, culturally inspired music during the show.

From the opening band (which was awesome by the way) to the final song---a classic (Send me on my way)---this was a great show. Brought my finance with and her review---There is no band out there that has their sound; totally unique and fun to listen to and watch. She pretty much nailed it.

This is my 4th time seeing Rusted Root. They were on top of their game playing one great song after another. They sounded great, interacted with the crowd and had a varied set list with one song seamlessly flowing into another. Great Band - Great Show!

What a great ensemble of music and Michael Glabicki rocked it!

The evening was fun! This venue is always intimate. My only gripe is the short time for Devon Allman's band. They were so hot, and all of a sudden they were gone. I'll be sure to see him again!!

Amazing show. Wonderful location at Ponte Vedra. Small venue. Great acoustics. Nice crowd (except for one crazy woman...there is always one). Love, love, love!

Went in with high expectations having seen them in the 90s. Was clear from the beginning that this was just another gig for them. Unenthusiastic, all the songs seem to be down beat from originals, even crowd was thinning out by the fifth or six song. Noticed immediately that you couldn't even hear lead vocals, went to look back at soundman and he was dozing off not even paying attention. Bummer because they were so energetic and fun to watch back in the 90s. Was really hopeful they still had that special something. Would not recommend seeing them.

I have seen root over 25 times over 20+ years and unfortunately since they parted ways with the last drummer Preach a couple years ago they have really went downhill. Just don't have the same energy they used to. Overall the show was ok bUT definitely not great. It was the opening night of the tour so that might of had something to do with their performance. Devon Allman though put on a good show with great energy. He played some originals, some old covers and some Allman brothers...

a unanounced 3rd(1st act) - thank Paramount for letting us know.. Couldn't tell u the name because the sound system was so muddled.. So Toad starts around 9 something and the sound is a bit better ( a miracle of acoustics since the sound guy left for the entire set). RR hits the stage @ 10:30 and basically mails it in for 1:15 before a single encore. I say mailed it in because they played about a dozen songs all night of which 2 were covers from other artists. For those who think i'm just some old music crab I've been in the music world for 40 yrs and have followed both bands for about 20.. Toad did the best they could with what they had to work with - RR and the venue did not.

One of my all-time favorite bands, and I have made some amazing new memories to their collection of music that continues to move me! Toad The Wet Sprocket was clearly underrated back in the day, but honestly, if you're a fan of lyrics and music that is inspiring and poetic as hell, you should tune in! The put on a great live show and my only complaint is that they could have played for another hour! Although they didn't do the entire Fear album on this night, the song choices were great and the crowd was as big of fans as I am and the evening was great! I like Rusted Root, but I had a long weekend and couldn't stay for their set - especially since they weren't coming on until close to 10:30. Oh and If I'm paying extra money to meet and greet and hang with the artist, I would think at least a folding chair would be available, or at least a set area so that we don't have to protect our space from encroaching patrons. Crowd comes in and tries to move you from your spot in front of the stage anyway, but thankfully they didn't succeed!

I am a huge Rusted Root fan and I come to see them whenever they play at The Paramount in Huntington, NY. The show on August 20, 2016 was the worst show I have been to. They didn't really seem into it at all and they only played about 6 songs or so. After the opening act was finished, a lot of the audience left. Maybe that's why they weren't good. I was so disappointed. I hope they are much better and play much more of there songs when they come back to the Paramount.

Loved seeing Rusted Root at the Indoor facility at Bethel Woods. It was absolutely gorgeous inside and the close knit atmosphere was perfect for the evening. The band was awesome as always and gave this more intimate gathering their all. Loved hearing some of the new songs, too!

I love concerts at bethel woods. However this was my first time indoors to see a concert. Was superb. They rocked it. Classy hippy vibe. . Played all of their great songs. !!! Will be back this year for more shows. ..

The concert and the venue were amazing. it's nice to see a good band in a smaller venue. makes it a little more personal.

I was a little dissapointed that they didn't play a couple of songs, but it was an amazing concert.

we've been rusted root fans for a very long time and try to never miss a concert in the area. most of my family have never been to one of their concerts, so for Christmas, I bought tickets to this concert for them. after touting the band to them, we were really looking forward to a night of fun, peace and great music. it turned out to be the worst rusted root concert I have ever been to. I apologized to my family and my daughter said, "it's ok mom, they're just getting old and tired". we were sitting about 15 rows back on the floor...and I heard the same type of statements from the people sitting around us. one guy said..."wow...they're just not into it tonite.....look at the crowd...usually everyone is up dancing...this is a true sign of a dead show...everyone is sitting". that's how I felt too. the sound was off, the energy was like zero level from the band....so different than the usual concert. the opening band burning river ramblers was actually much more entertaining,

People were on their feet and dancing in the aisles. Lots of guitar changes. Great seats. Reasonable drink prices.

We love Rusted Root, seen them before, but this was their best show yet. It was actually my husbands birthday the same day, he said, "Best Birthday Ever"! They make you feel like your in your own backyard just groovin' with friends and loving life at every moment. I teared up when the show was over, I didn't want it to end. We brought a friend with us whose never seen Rusted Root, he LOVED them!!! The venue was great, too...very personal. We can't wait until they come around again, already looking at their schedule and will travel to see them. Right-on Rusted Root!!!!!

I've seen Rusted Root five separate times -- the band is not what it used to be.

This was my first time to the Hard Rock Rocksino and I found the venue to be well organized, easy to enter and exit, and the auditorium was one of the nicer places to see a show. They might consider raising the stage or change the seating height to allow for people in the back to see better. We arrived at 7:00pm for general admission seating and we were able to snag two right-center seats two rows from the stage. The opening act started exactly at 8:00pm and played for about 30 minutes. A good local act called Burning River Ramblers. Rusted Root came on about 9:00pm and played almost continually till 10:30pm. The opening song "Welcome to my Party" through the closing "Send me on my way" were well done and the near sellout audience response was overwhelming. The band let none of the technical difficulties with equipment bother their performance in the least.

I have seen Rusted Root perform countless times at festivals, small venues, as far back as when they played in Kent, Ohio while I was in college. Every time I see them is a good time, but this was by far the largest crowd I have seen in years!!!!! The energy was electric! The only thing I didn't like was there were chairs on the floor and not an open dance floor. I didn't let that stop me, I danced in the aisle.

2 good opening bands. Rusted Root played for a good while with excellent rhythms and their unique beats. Good Mix of songs.

I'll see them everytime at the Paramount. This place it great and rusted rood was on fire!

Did not care for any of their new music - was disappointed

Rusted root was amazing and the venue was cozy and very enjoyable

Rusted Root was awesome, but who was that funk band that opened for them?

Rusted Root once again was amazing- great venue, great crowd.

I always have a great time with Rusted Root! The audience had a good vibe too. Nobody was annoying and they treated one another well.

This was my 9th Rusted Root show. In 2009 we were lucky enough to have them in Vegas twice, It was way to long in between shows. The only thing that was missing was Preach Freedom...RR will always be the best live show on the planet. Anyone who wants to see amazing live music should not miss these guys.

Rusted Root is one of the best groups you could ever see! The setting is intimate and they just rock it out. They also had a pretty amazing group of musicians opening for them called Songs of Water and the drinks were about $3.oo! Plus we got the drummers autograph this time!

Fantastic Show. Opening band Songs of Water was great!! Amazing finale with both bands jamming to Ecstasy for 20 mins :-)

l would recommend this group to EVERYONE. They even came out at the end of the concert and talked to the people who waited. Not only were they personable with the crowd, they were a great up beat show to watch. I was shaking after because it was so exhilarating. If anyone is on the fence about going or not, definitely GO! I can't wait to see them live again.

Rusted Root always puts on an awesome show! Lots of food truck options available during this event too....however I think something may have made the other half sick. I did have some ice cream from Nicey Treat and it was AMAZING! Beer was good too!

This was one of the best events I've attended in downtown Indy. What a special concert!

Watching Rusted Root with a full belly of amazing food from the food trucks, while the fireworks were going off made it the most unforgettable 4th of July ever. The band was phenomenal, as expected and did an awesome job keeping my attention. I didn't even watch the fireworks, i was too enthralled with the concert.

Always love this band. And the venue on the 4th of July with the fireworks in the background was absolutely amazing.

The show was great! I just wished they had stopped playing and shut down the stage lights when the fireworks started.
