That's All Folks!

I discovered The Mission while stationed in Japan in 1986 by picking up a cassette of Gods Own Medicine at Tower Records in Tokyo. I'd hadn't heard any of their music prior to that. I loved their music from the start and it's been is a loose rotation in my listening file ever since. I'd not had the opportunity to see them before this show. Fast forward to now. Needless to say I'm stoked when I arrive at the venue. That's saying something as I see 30-50 shows a year. At the time I had no idea what to expect, very few bands that have been around this long sound as good now as they did then. I wouldn't have believed better, but in this case they were better live than any recording of them I've heard. Right from the beginning Wayne and the boys were smooth and polished. There was not one bad note or chord that I noticed all night. If these guys are not in your favorites on Tickemaster or in your tracking list on Songkick they should be. I was very surprised to see how few seats were sold to this show. You can bet I'll be in the crowd any time The Mission is within 200 miles of LA! Oh! Wayne proclaimed himself the 2nd best lead singer of all time. I'm still very interested to know who he thinks #1 is.

They were an awesome group of guys,fun to hang out with and very down to earth.show was great been waiting on that moment for a very long time....

Rock is not dead! It kicks and screams with DBT. Very solid tight band. Non stop ripping thru their best songs . Pack as many songs as they're can within 2 1/2 hours

Anyone else been there. It appear first rate but very over priced, I appreciate the reviews others have posted. Has anyone had good experience with the value? So far for me easier to stay at teh numerous places on 7th,

Yalla times and bands need to be reduced!! It is too hot for most to stay out all day seeing bands that no one knows and aren't very good. Eric Church COMPLETELY rocked the place and was worth waiting for. Suggest in the future, have an opener and headliner.....no crappy bands before. David Nail was very grumpy and didn't seem to enjoy being there. Hunter Hayes, newcomer was pretty good...could have opened for Eric and just had the two.

Perfect! Great show in a great venue. My first time at the Ryman and worth every penny.

Enjoyed the show, good music & corny jokes, loved it.

The baddest grooves of any live band I have ever seen. Seriously.

The overall theme was good. Some scene appeared as though they just made something up.

....it is a spiritually moving experience. Wayne and his quartet seem to just ride waves of moods. Peace, tension, conflict, ecstasy, mournful, sublime.
