Ted Leo and The Pharmacists

I've seen Ted and some form of his band many times over the years and he NEVER fails to go overboard and put on an incredible show. He never stops (except to talk to the audience,which is funny as all get out) and this was no exception. Ted and his band, the Pharmacists, with a few others, played for 2 1/2 hours with no break. He played a lot of his new album, the Hanged Man, as well as many of the hits. The band behind him rocked it and sounded great. Always a great show, don't miss him if he comes near you, you won't be disappointed. The venue, Brighton Music Hall, holds a little less than 500 people and is a great size for such a show, drinks were reasonably priced for Boston.

Ted Leo + The Pharmacists always put on a fun, energetic show that is guaranteed to get you going! You can tell they love what they do, and they feed off the crowd. Unless you're an uptight concert-goer expecting to sit and do nothing, you're going to have a great time.

I think I'm falling in love. Both shows were amazing. Ted had a cold and even without all of his voice he, and the pharmacists brought the house down. Both nights.

Wow, what a show! They played for almost two hours!!! It was a mix of old hits and the new record. Ted s stage banter is always amusing, too. They have added a couple of musicians including a saxophonist which added quite a bit to the sound. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

TL/RX gave two full hours to the Teragram Ballroom, which was the perfect venue for so raw and intimate a show. This was my first Ted Leo concert in probably 10 years, and I'll never miss an opportunity to see him perform again. He was witty, charming, and rocked the place all to hell.

As always, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists brought it all to the table. Tons of energy, great setlist, etc etc. Can't say enough good things about these guys.

The show started out with The Screaming Females, a New Brunswick, NJ punk band fronted by a little girl who's the best guitar player I've ever seen live. They shredded, they screamed, they brought the mosh. The next band, The Obits, weren't my cup of tea, but skillfully embarrassed a heckler who made fun of them during their set. The crowd, having been pumped up by the two supporting acts, went completely insane once the Pharmacists came on. It was the usual Ted Leo show, peppy, energetic, chock full of nerds, but for once, people were moving. By far the most action I've ever seen from any crowd at a Ted Leo show. Easily the best of the three times I've seen him play.

Ted Leo + Pharmacists met my expectations and more! The set list was SOOO satisfying and Ted's voice was on the money. He is definitely my favorite artist. Go see them live, buy a record, they need our support.

I got to go up on stage and sing karaoke with Ted Leo/RX as my backing band. Then Ted shook my hand. And then I talked to them after the show. It ruled.

So good! They played a good mix of old and new, and some really new! There were some equipment issues, but they had such great energy, it was barely an issue. It was my birthday, and i am super glad i spent it with Ted Leo!

My 4th time seeing Ted and he rocked as usual. Played a lot fo new tunes. The sound isn't great at the Middle east but its a venue I like because of how close you can get to the stage. Ted was having guitar trouble, he swapped it out like 4 or 5 times.

This was a fantastic concert! I'm definitely a fan of smaller, more personal clubs like the Middle East, and when a band like Ted Leo and the Pharmacists comes in it's unforgettable. I only gave the concert a 4/5 because (a) the opening act was so amateur and (b) it took the crowd so long to get pumped up. But Titus Andronicus was riotous, and Ted Leo took it up a few notches from there. They sounded so good, so clean live, but with more edginess. Loved every second of it.
