Run Westy Run

Show opened with Mitch Ryder who despite his past with drugs and alcohol was phenomenal. His voice was unwaivering and he had an awsome band. He did all the old favorites plus a few new ones that were great. He also did a Hendrix number that took the house down. Tommy James was also phenomenal. His sound was even better than the early days and his voice as strong. He did all the favorites and the crowd loved him. This was our second time seeing Tommy James in the past year and we would definitely go again. Definitely worth the money!!

This is our 2nd show at the BMH, and it keeps getting better. Sacred Reich too the time to meet and greet, and signed items for all comers. Awesome group of guys, great show.

The long awaited return of SAGA. The Band in TOP form provided us with a Stellar show. One that ended with a Calgary White Hat Presentation to the Band ! ( Now Honorary Calgarians ) I've seen 20 or so shows at the Deerfoot Inn. This one was hands down The BEST !

To be at this show was to be in the presence of one of music's biggest contributors, the effortless Ora of a true alpha male, the percision of a master, all with the humor and welcome tone one expects in ones living room :)

I am not good at writing a review. What I can say is at this show there was something for everyone. I had a great time. The Wiltern staff was great.

Mindvent...was great Starkill... Killed it : Awesome Arsis: Not so much... Poor sound Destruction: FREAKIN' INCREDIBLE... Sepultura: PROFOUND...

Most fun we have had in a long time. The show was great. We love old time rock.

Not sure if it was the crowd or Jim Kerr, but the show was a little flat. I enjoyed seeing Simple Minds and it was fun to hear the music I enjoyed so much when I was younger, but after the 45-minute break (why did they need to take a break--it was only a 90 minute show?) between the first and second halves, there was no connection to the crowd for about 5 or 6 songs until they got to the big hits (Sanctify Yourself/Alive and Kicking). I consider myself a pretty knowledgeable and eager fan, and I was kinda bored... But, it wasn't a terribly expensive ticket and I went with an old pal from college, so it was worth doing.

High energy show. Family members did a fantastic job. Audience was up and dancing.

I had high expectations for this concert and Sonic Youth totally exceeded them. They played mostly songs from their new album which rocks just as much as their older stuff. They are masters of noise. They best part is whatever noise, distortion, effects, and experimentation they play, it is always interesting. I could watch them for hours. They were looking a little bit old, but still definitely a great band that I would love to see again.
