I honestly went for motion city soundtrack only, didn't know any other bands, but boy did I have a great time! The bands all worked well together and we're all so caring for the crowd! Then motion city sound track and how they was unlike anything I've ever seen before! Honestly though... BEST OPENING EVER!! I personally can't wait to see motion city soundtrack again but I wouldn't mind seeing the other perform again either!

I've been to my share of awkward meet and greets but the acoustic set by The Wonder Years was just mind-blowing. They kept everyone informed during the check-in process and then we got to listen to like eight songs re-done for an acoustic set. Afterwards the band answered questions that the group had previously submitted. It was very interesting to see all the different personalities as they contributed to discussing the topics. I didn't realize beforehand until I checked in on Foursquare and it said I had been to see them 12 times. I guess you can say I am a fan. The show was top-notch per usual, even though the Dallas crowd isn't the best. I'd seen the same show on the tour in Seattle and that crowd was nuts! Leave it to The Wonder Years to breathe life into any venue.

The whole concert overall was absolutely wonderful. All of the bands did great. I LOVE the small venue. I just wish they didn't have a barricade so we could stage dive. Also crowd surfing... needs to be able to happen. they're not going to stop us from doing it anytime soon. like I said though overall I loved it so much. I'm hoping that many more bands start to come here cause that was the best experience of my life.

The lineup was great - The Wonder Years and Real Friends are two of my favorite bands, and Citizen are pretty good (I don't know Modern Baseball or Fireworks very well). The crowd was annoyingly rowdy during Fireworks' set - so much so that I got kicked in the head and kicked in the legs a few times, and decided to move to the back. The rest of the show was great, though.

Great show, The Wonder Years and Misser killed it! Not really a Hostage Calm fan, but they played well together. Fireworks played mostly new stuff and were much better when I saw them here a couple years back.

I came into the show only having listened to the wonder years and fireworks, but hostage calm and misser both put on shows I won't forget. Misser was a great blend of east coast and west coast pop punk, I immediately went home and downloaded their CD's afterwards. Hostage Calm also put on a good show. Then when Fireworks came on is when everyone got crazy, and they performed an awesome high energy set. Finally the wonder years came on, and at this point everyone was pumped. They played one of the best sets I have ever seen them play. It was a surprise when they opened with Local Man instead of Came out Swinging, but they saved that for later. For me the highlight was when Soupy said "I think its time for an old one" and then they played You're not Salinger, Get Over it. It's amazing that the Wonder Years can have so much energy after coming off of an Australia tour 3 days ago. I will never get tired of seeing them play.

the show was amazing, buy a ticket before it sells out. The story so far, transit, and the polar bear club were great and the wonder years were amazing but that goes without syaing.

This show was amazing each and every band had amazing sets, though a loss for words was not on the ballet they played final song with their old drummer. I had never been to a show at the royale prior to this one and can honestley say its a great venue, good sound, didnt feel to big or to small. Would definatley go to the royale again.

I went to see the Wonder Years live and they were phenomenal! The music was great and I had a blast! But the venue, The Fillmore Philadelphia was super difficult to get out of after the concert. It was a sold out show and getting out of the venue took forever and became a little unsafe because of the large amount of people trying to get out of a small area. This was my second show at The Fillmore.

The Wonder Years are always great, but I think this was their best show!!! The Venue was really awesome and comfortable. They kept the AC on blast so I wasn't sweating to death. The sound quality was so nice that this was the first concert that I haven't gotten a migraine from. Honestly just wish I could go to this concert all over again.

The Wonder Years puts on an unforgettable show, somehow always greater than the last (is that even possible? I always ask myself. But then I see them and I am always blown away all over again) This band has more passion, more love, and more soul in their music and performances than any other musicians, dead and alive, in my opinion. If you are even CONSIDERING seeing them live, do it. You would not regret it. The Wonder Years has done so much for me, I am sure you will find some sort of solitude in what they can do for you. :)

The lead singer demands respect from the audience and captures everyone in a way that I've never experienced before. Go see this band!

The wonder years put on an excellent show. The raw emotional soupy shows is breathtaking & heartbreaking. The combinations between the piano and he lead acousic guitar is probably the most beautiful thing i've heard. There's a nice mix of old & new considering how many songs the band has. If anyone has the chance, they should go.

The show and crowd was on fire! The only downside is I feel like it was a little too long (the doors opened at 5:30pm, I want to say the show started around 6:30pm and ended a little after 11pm) and parking rate was unbelievable. Ended up paying $35 for parking but overall great night and vibes!

Wonder Years killed it. Sound was terrible where we were - muddy and incoherent. There was a line array pointed directly at us so no excuse.

Wonderful staff! All very helpful and polite. Venue is alway clean and beautiful. Openers were average. The mics weren't the best so it was hard to understand them. Made me feel 50 at 19. Overall a good show. Headliners made you feel like family.

The Wonder Years are better every time I see them. I saw them in November at the Electric Factory and I liked the setlist they played there much better, but regardless, this show at the Sherman Theater was incredible. The band had so much energy, the crowd was insane, the sound quality was good. Go see The Wonder Years next time they come around; you won't regret it.

This was one of the most kick ass shows I've been to. The Red Room in Saginaw was an AMAZING venue. The crowd was energetic and overall very nice. And obviously The Wonder Years are incredible live.

Fantastic show top to bottom - T to B. All of the sound engineers were at the top of their games. I have been to at least a dozen shows at the Electric Factory and, while the sound is usually pretty good, it was exceptional for this show. I am an avid concert goer and after seeing what is probably thousands of bands perform all around the country, I must say that The Wonder Years are hands down one of the best bands I have ever seen. Their energy is unmatched by 99%+ of musicians out there. Please do yourself a favor and go see them live. I should also note that this night was particularly special, as the hometown crowd was passionate about the band's return to Philly. 5/5 stars.

What an amazing experience! This was my 4th time seeing The Wonder Years and I can't wait till I can see them again. Whenever they play in Philly the energy is unbelievable - it's great to see the support they receive from their local scene.

You Blew It! was good, but they just didn't get the respect they deserved. State Champs kicked it up in energy, and I expect big things out of them. Motion City Soundtrack have done so much for this scene. They helped push authenticity and honesty even at the cost of hopeless embarrassment and self-effacing depreciation. They pulled out all the stops with the light and sound show. The Wonder Years brought it home a bit like a victory lap considering their tremendous success and acclaim this year. They are a treasure, and I'm so glad they are still rocking.

I have never had this much fun at a concert before. All 4 bands were so great, the crowd was insane all night and even though going in to the concert I had only heard of 2 of them, I now have 4 bands that I love. I would highly recommend this concert to anyone who even casually likes one of these bands. You would find it so much fun.

I went to this concert to see Motion City Soundtrack, never having heard of the other three bands that were also a part of the show. Now, I listen to all the bands that were there! They all put on a great show and really impressed me with the energy and clear joy they had from performing. One of the best shows I have been to.

I went to see State Champs. They are always so much fun to watch. Then The Wonder Years of course killed it as always.

No such a thing as a bad show from The Wonder Years. After having seen them for the fifth time I pause to reflect and say the energy was lacking. The last few songs gained energy but overall Soupy was winded, could be seen wincing in between lyrics and just did not seem his normal self. Plenty of new songs played with songs from each album going back to the upsides. Extra money was put into those smoke pyro things at the front of the stage a great lighting for extra moody songs. Motion City did not disappoint, crowd was smaller than their previous club date and I am not sure why but possibly from a lack of interest in the new album.

There were a lot of openers that I hadn't listened to and a lot of them were pretty good. I felt a little old to be in the pit, but otherwise the venue is great. The Wonder Years put on an amazing show.
