This concert was fantastic! We were there for the last concert of the tour which made it even better. All of the 5 bands before Alesana were great,but Alesana was beyond fantastic! It was a great show.

The show was wonderful. Every band complimented the headliner band wonderfully. And i love how up close and personal every band including Alesana were. The show was especially great because i missed the meet and greet but it didnt matter cuz they came to hang with fans after the show. And each band member showed real concern in hearing about me missing the meet and great and seemed determined to make sure that i leave happy. Alesana's band members are all beautiful people who make awesome, beautiful music. :)

The concert was full of energy and for each band that played a member was in the crowd at some point during their set. It was so much fun and so interactive that you felt like it was a private concert just for you.
This was one of the best shows I've been to in a while. Though there is no way of topping Underoath's holiday tour, this show came in close second. I missed We Came As Romans, and wan't too impressed by Of Mice And Men, But by the time The Word Alive Came on, I was having the time of my life. The Word Alive was really interactive with the crowd, which was great. A Skylit Drive COMPLETELY tore it up. Being one of my favorite bands, I was amazed by them. And then came Alesana, with one of the best entries ever. The strobe lights and stage presence of the band was incredible. It was overall a great concert.

Great Show! Loved it and the set. I see Alesana in all the states close to Ohio and have been going to shows for a while and I love the fact that the band does connect with the people and does not see themselves as any different than anyone else. The music is great and energetic.

The show was too awesome! I went to see alesana, so thats the band im going to be reviewing! they were awesome with a capital A! I caught a pic from the guitarist ALEX TORRES and before the show began i even got a picture with him<3 they seem like a down to earth band because they just walked around the city taking pictures with everyone, i thought that was amazing. Their show was unforgettable the have an awesome set and the music left you speechless. i love this band!!!

Memphis may fire blew away the show with songs from their new album the hollow and was unmistakably just as good live a on their album. They were incredible.

This wasnt exactly my personal type of music i am more a coldplay , u2 kind a chick, but my cousin told my about it and it thought why the hell not go, i want to expand my genre horizons and see what else is out there. I have to say that the show was overwhelming at first with all the intense non stop screaming though i pretty much expected it. Attila no offense was my overall least fav, but my overall most fav was sleeping with sirens because the band members were pretty good looking and their music had more substance and words with a good amount of emotional screaming , they were totally cool , i would prolly go to another show of theirs if i got the chance. Good time had by all

This was the first time I ever saw them live and I loved them. It certainly won't be my last time seeing them. Every song sounded amazing and they were super nice when I met a couple of them after the show. They are a band that shouldn't be missed when they come around again.

Honestly, I went to this concert not in the greatest mood and I didn't think I would have an amazing time. I was completely wrong. Each band was amazing and sounded great. They each gave their all. I loved the venue and the whole experience turned my mood around. I'd recommend any of the bands to any fans of the genre. The band members were also extremely interactive with the crowd and were constantly grabbing everyone's hands and getting the crowd worked up. I'm already ready to see these bands again and will the next time they're nearby.

I took my younger brother to see the show because Alesana is his favorite band. I had never really listened to them. But I ended up getting really into it. The bands that was pre-Alesana knew how to get a crowd going. Alesana was the best though because the band members know how to put on a show. Though I wont say I will go out a buy their CD, but I would go to another show.

The place was packed, which was a little disturbing. I attended with my 2 daughters and a neighbors child ages 11 and 12. So I was concerned with staying out of the mosh pit. There were 4 other bands and Alesana playing. After the second band finished we all made our way up to the balcony bar and the whole night changed. The AC was strong and we were near the stairs to the stage. My kids were able to get autographs and hugs from the band. I was able to stay out of their way but keep an eye on them. They had a blast! The staff was very helpful and courteous to us as well. I used to attend events just like this one 15 - 20 years ago, it's not my thing anymore, but it was a trip down memory lane for me.

We Came As Romans, The Word Alive, Of Mice And Men, A Skylit Drive, Alesana = the greatest show ever! Everything was perfect, the mics could have been louder but other than that the show was AMAZING. Alesana definitely put on the best show, the worst was probably A Skylit Drive, just because you could barely hear the vocals and the fact that the bassist FAILED at a stage dive (and hurt like twenty kids in the process), but still they did a good job. Alesana had the best stage show I've ever seen. From stage dives, headbanging, jumping up and down, and throwing their guitars around their neck they were EPIC! They sounded great! I can't wait to see them again.

Overall, I enjoyed the concert, but it was easily a middle-of-the-road event. Club Firestone has possibly the WORST ticket-taking setup I've ever seen. I waited in line for well over an hour before I got in, and the venue holds less than 2,000 people, and it was not even sold out. We missed We Came As Romans because of the delay. Of Mice and Men put on a good show despite a substitute lead singer. The Word Alive sounded awful, but since it was the first time I'd seen them I can't tell if it was the venue or the band. A Skylit Drive were very good despite a short 6-song set and replacement guitarists (probably the cause of the shortened set, since they've had little time to learn the material). Alesana were AMAZING. They played about an hour, and 8 of the 11 or 12 songs they played were from the new album, which the stage and the musicians were themed to fit as well. Very energetic, very raw emotion poured into the music, they easily stole the show. I'd like to have seen We Came As Romans, but that is the venue's fault, not the bands'. I'd definitely recommend the show.

The venue of the El Rey Theater was impressive old style Los Angeles. The atmosphere the curtained stage had set the mood for the night. As each of the bands came on stage and then closed the excitement got higher and higher. By the time the headliner band "Alesana" came on stage, everyone went wild. The energy flowing from the stage to the fans on the floor was almost a physical presence! Thumbs up to El Rey and Alesana for bringing such a well balance group of musicians and singers together, El Rey rocked until the very last note Alesana played. Well done boys, well done!

The Rock Yourself to Sleep Tour took a nice little trip to Sauget, IL and every band at that show played amazingly. There was not a moment where I was not in awe of the artists that were in front of me, playing their hearts out. I was there, personally, for Alesana. Their show was the most memorable of the six bands that played in Sauget that night. Shawn and Dennis really know how to draw in a crowd, and the other band members played their hearts out. This show will forever be ingrained in my memory, and you should see Alesana the next chance you get.

First off, I travel a lot for tours and have been to a lot of different venues in a lot of different states across the US. The National was one of the best/nicest/cleanest venues I have been to yet. The show was great. The sound, almost perfect which says a lot. The staff where respectful but kept everyone safe while allowing the kids to get a little rowdy...Love The National. This tour was phenomenal! Every band that is on the "radar" right now was on this tour and it was just an all around good time. Great hang times, great friends, good times.

I was already going to this show with very high expectations. Turned out to be better than I imagined! I loved the entire concert setting in itself, not only for the fact that I am a skateboarder, but it was the perfect size and setup. The first bands Memphis May Fire and The Word Alive were pretty amazing, they did very well. I was mostly there to see one of my favorite bands Asking Alexandria and oh my gawd......best show I had been to all year, and I go to almost every possible show in Las Vegas. I had previously seen them when they very first came to Las Vegas and it was great then but this show blew it out of the water!! They share a bond with the audience like bands should. From First To Last did a great job as well. I was also there to see Alesana...they are a great band. They did AMAZING!!! I like them live more than the records/albums. Same goes for Asking Alexandria. I would love to see this venue over and over again. I didn't want it to ever end. Also what I was suprised and overly joyed about was that every single performing band came out afterwards and spent time with the fans. Talking, taking photos and doing countless autgraphs. Bands rarely do that anymore....especially in Vegas shows. It was amazing because I got to spend actual time with the bands and knowing who they were as people. Bands who truely return their love to the fans and do things like this are what really makes a band in my eyes. I understand the bands who cannot come out afterwards because they are on tour and have to be somewhere else almost immeadiatley,so they are in the clear. It was all an unforgettable experience. I highly reccomend this concert and venue and I await the bands featured's arrival to Las Vegas again for another round of good times and unforgettable memories.

I liked three of the bands that played that night- Alesana, From First to Last, & Memphis May Fire. They were amazing!!!! The Word Alive & Asking Alexandria gained some new fan tonight, my friend & me! The show was amazing! If you get a chance to see these bands, take it!
Alesana's Ten Frail Years of Vanity and Wax Tour was all I could have hoped for. Both Dennis and Shawn's vocals were on point, and the whole band maintained the high energy their songs demanded. I also enjoyed Famous Last Words and recently became a fan thanks to their latest album and their live performance. I will try to forget some of the opening bands though I did also enjoy Saving Chronos.
It had been 9 years since I started listening to Alesana. I finally got a chance to see them and not only did they live up to expectations, but they far surpassed them. The show was incredible, great energy and set list, but after the show they came out and greeted and talked with everyone. Super chill, nice guys that have been together for over a decade. The Annabel trilogy is a musical masterpiece.
It was a great experience! I couldn't believe I got to meet my favorite band. The glasshouse in Pamona was kind of empty so it was even better because there weren't many fan girls fighting to get to the front.
I went for Alesana and Get Scared and while they were AWESOME, as always, ALL of the bands were amazing!! Farewell, My Love jumped into my top 5 in one night!!
this show had a great line up from lions lions, upon this dawning, the color morale it was a great line up and a great show you just had to be there.

I had so much fun. I loved the show and loved the bands. I of course went to see Alesana but then fell in love with Glamour of the Kill. (Best Band Ever) I liked being able to meet everyone at the merch tables. I have to say i was dissapointed with the performance Vampires Everywhere because of how intoxicated the lead singer was/acted. He was spitting on people and it was disgusting. But other than that i had an amazing time and i would love to see these bands again.

I love all the Bands that played Serianna, Attila, Memphis May Fire, Sleeping With Sirens, and Alesana. A Skylit Drive was okay, but i wish they would have choose better songs to get the crowd going. Most of the crowd wasn't really budging when A Skylit Drive was out, but the rest of the bands were amazing.

Attila and Memphis May Fire were great! I like Sleeping With Sirens on Album but live they weren't very good. Parkway drive was not good at all live. They were plagued by Mic feedback issues and poor performance. The regency's Acoustics aren't the best for a post-hardcore show however, When in the very middle of the venue it sounds great. Alesana was amazing. They have been my favorite band for a while so I may be biased but they killed it!
