Gear Daddies

Overall the show was good, but a series of technical issues and very poor quality sound took away from what could have been an epic show. During louder parts the sound was almost unbearable, it was very distorted. I'm not an audio tech, but it almost seemed like the volume or gain was up way too high. Also, the first time the guitar didn't work right was amusing, but after the 3rd or 4th time it got annoying. I wouldn't have minded so much if it was a $15-20 show, but it was $50 and for that amount I expect a better show.

This was an amazing show. Every song was great, with exception to the warm-up band, who was less than stellar.

The begining was very chaotic - better towards the end.

The Gear Daddies put on an amazing show. They had fun, and it made the show a great time. I wish they played more often.

Another great Gear Daddies show at the Fine Line. Would definitely recommend future Gear Daddies shows. The opening act was absolutely horrible. Hope to never see them play again. The Fine Line needs to pick opening acts more in line with the headliner.

Wonderful show!! Can't wait til next year already!! Been attending their winter show at the Fine Line for the last 5 years. Love every moment of it! Opening bands have always been great too.

For those that remember the Gear Daddies from their hayday, these reunion shows are a blast. Most people at the show know the music and it becomes big sing along. Only bad part of the show is that the Fine Line carries a limited beer selection. If I wanted to drink Bud products I'd go to a NASCAR event.

Loved every minute of it! When is the next show???

21 years after purchasing Let's Go Scare Al, I had the priviledge of watching the Gear Daddies on the rowdy floor of the Fineline. Only 2 people were in front of me. They did not disappoint. The band was in fine form, and clearly enjoyed playing together. Bassist Nick Ciola smiled much of the show. Martin's voice was resonant and he was clearly enjoying himself. Zellar had the crowd in the palm of his hand the entire evening. My Mariah was played on request. 2 hours went by very fast. Many of the tunes gave me that early/mid sixties feeling, when rock made me feel happy. That was the apparent effect on the full house at the Fineline.

This was the 4th time I have seen the Gear Daddies and they were awesome yet again! They always put on a good show and the music is wonderful! Randy was out meeting people after the concert and signing autographs which makes the event all the more special. My husband and I will definately be at their next event!

It was fun be out with a bunch of people our age(40 plus age group). I wish that the Gear Daddies would have played longer(only played for 1 1/2 hours) and did not see the opening band play. So glad that you still play together. Thank you!

The band was great! The sound was great as well! Thanks

As much as I enjoy watching them at all the outdoor venues, it was fantastic to see them back in the bar scene where they got started. AMAZING show! Please play at the Fine Line again!

I had never bean to to the Fine Line Music Cafe. The atmosphere was great. My age of people and the Gear Daddys played all the old favorites. My Boyfriend and I had a great time. Thanks for the show!!!

Good show- crowded room. The mass was singing along to all the songs. Very fun! Then the short encore, bummer : (

The show at the zoo was SO fun! I wish I'd known about these guys sooner!

Last Saturday 5 friends of mine (2 of them LONG TIME DADDY fans - I proudly wore my 1992 concert T) went to the Zoo to catch the band and had a blast as we were taken back in time to our college years. Anyone who has never been to a Zoo concert is certainly missing out on one of the best venues in the MN. Not a bad seat in the house and what a great setting with the Tigers roaring in the background and the lake behind the stage - just perfect for a warm summer night. We missed the opening act but enjoyed every second of Martin and the boys. They sang all of their great songs and we sang along just like we used to (whether it be in one of the Eau Claire bars or at one of their shows). It was a great time, and the band still sounded excellent and together - pretty terrific since Martin claimed he was sitting in Billy's truck just before the show "re-learning" songs he'd written years ago. We had a great night! The only set back is the 10:30 curfew imposed by the Zoo - if allowed to I'm certain the whole crowd would have stayed all night long!

The volume was way too high ,hard on ears, and because of that you couldn't understand the words to the songs, We go to hear the performers not feel the music..... The warm up act was very good she did a good job.

Great setting for a concert and the Gear Daddies were on their game save a couple of technical issues. Martin Zellar is hilarious.

My wife and I had seats 3rd row from the top, could not understand the words

The venue was perfect for an outdoor summer night, never a bad seat in the house! The music was flowing and the band entertains the audience through the whole performance. 2 hours of music, I got my $ worth.

This was a fantastic show in a great venue. Even though they had a few techinical difficulties, the show still rocked. Allison Scott was amazine.

Fantastic performance by Zellar, Dankert, Ciola and Broughten. Unbelievable venue and beautiful weather put this show over the top. Unfortunately, it was nearly unbearably loud, and hope that next time the performance isn't tainted by the volume. GEAR IS GOOD!
