Eluveitie

Not to sound corny but....What a magical night! This band knows how to put on an amazing show. I met the lead singer and he was so down to earth and nice. I can't wait for them to come again.

the event hall was amazing (the masquerade HAS to be one of my favorite venues now). as for Eluveitie/3 Inches of Blood/Holy Grail and System Divide....only 2 words can describe it all in a nutshell....EPIC EVENT

If you ever get a chance to see Eluveitie live, you must! They were very cool and kept the crowd going crazy with some great circle pits and wall of death.

They all did really well and I had an amazing time

Simply Amazing and Epic. If you are a fan of Metal do yourself a favor and see any of these bands.

Holy Grail, 3 Inches of Blood, and Eluveitie were all absolutely amazing. If you enjoy good metal, you'll enjoy this tour. I highly recommend it.

Eluveitie live is a one of kind experience. No words can do justice to how awesome their show is. Phenomenal stage presence, amazing crowd interaction, music that encompasses your mind, body, and spirit and transports you to another world......absolutely incredible. They were stuck playing downstairs at The Masquerade but the floor was packed out and they still had room to fit everything on stage and tore the place apart. The crowd was really into the music and you could tell the band was feeding off that energy and playing even harder and faster. Rocked out singing in Ghaulish, headbanged all night, me and girlfriend even got to dance a jig, it was a night that will never be forgotten.

This show was f*n AWESOME!!! please come back soon!

This is the first show I have ever been to. I had a great time and love the band. Great mix of celtic folk and metal. my only regret is I wished I was more sober when Eluveitie hit the stage.

Eluveitie sends you on a musical Celtic metal medley leaving you wanting more!

the title basically says it all. great line up to build for eluveitie -System Divide -Holy Grail -3 Inches of Blood -Eluveitite Best performance i seen live, not to mention best moshes, and energy I have seen in any show/concert thus far. Dare I say better than Last October's Slayer/Anthrax/Megadeth. I think i just did.

Eluveitie was the highlight of the lineup for sure. The other bands were just Ok. Venue was not too crowded which was nice.

The band's energy, performance, and connection to the audience was outstanding. The setlist was, in my opinion, very well picked. The venue sound was ok but a band of such level and that utilizes so many instruments at any given moment deserves a better venue sound so everything can be distinguised a bit better. Over all, I loved the show! Thanks to the band for coming all the way to Florida!

Eluveitie was just as crisp live as they are on their recorded albums, and you can tell they are genually have a great time on stage. Great interaction with the croud. I will definately catch them again if they come back to town.

Musically one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Some bands don't translate well into their live shows but Eluveitie was great. I especially loved their musicianship and rich layered songs. The crowd was not real big (weeknight) but extremely enthusiastic. The two songs that really stood out were "Slania's Song" and "Inis Mona". I also was impressed that they came back for 2 more songs with their encore. When they come back to Florida I'll definitely see them again! I liked the opening acts, especially Holy Grail. Hadn't really heard anything by them before but was impressed-real tight musically.

Of the guest bands, our surprise favorite was System Divide. The female singer had a great sound, husky and strong. I'll be looking for them again and buying their songs. The venue was great. I'm surprised it wasn't more crowded, but it allowed for a very personal experience with the bands. It was, however, the loudest concert I've attended to date and, having forgotten my ear plugs, two days later my ears are still ringing! Eluveitie gives a great live performance (especially in the tight space they had available at this venue).

Three Inches of Blood could not make it, and I had to suffer through 30 minutes of acoustic songs from Eluveitie, though the rest of their stuff was really good. System Divide is terrible and Holy Grail is pretty generic.

What can ya say, this group is grandiose in every aspect. There's 8 members of the band, they carry with them 14 different instruments, and it makes for a truly awesome show. The Vocalist is as strong as they come, the guitarists ans drummers are awesome, the girls playing the fiddle and hurdy-gurdy, as well as backing vocals, just makes for an awe inspiring stage show. I HIGHLY recommend seeing these guys live if you like their folk style metal. Too bad theyre still relegated to small clubs :(

It was a very well put together show by both Holy Grail and Eluveitie. Hurdi Gurdi's, flutes, fidels, what else could you ask for.

I loved the bands that played at Jaxx on November 12th. I watched Alestorm, Belphegor, and Eluveitie. The bands all played great. The venue sound was so terrible that I doubt I will ever go back. I've been to Jaxx several times but it is almost a 2 hour drive. Usually I enjoy it but the sound completely ruined this show for me. PA speakers were blown.... when the vocalists talked between songs there was static through the speakers. The mics cut in and out through entire sets. I could see the vocalist screaming but only hear it at times. During Eluveitie's entire set I barely heard the flutes, pipes, or violin. Saying I barely heard these instruments is not an exaggeration....its an understatement. I was soo disappointed.

This event was the best!! if you like metal and folk music, this is a MUST SEE. Their unique instruments combined with the hard rock of heavy metal is simple amazing. The passion of the band members infused with the charged lyrics and music makes for one unforgettable night. I will see them again. This band is heading to the top. Chrigel's passion on stage permeates the crowd and brings it to a whole new energy level bordering frenzy. I have come home with bruises. now you know that's a great show!

im glad they got the shitty System Divide out of the way first because they were GOD AWEFUL! but after the short set...then the REAL show began! Holy Grail annhilated us all. 3 Inches Of Blood was nothing short of perfect! jumped into my first pit when "Deadly Sinners" blasted in! but Eluveitie was awe-inspiring! every song was crystal clear and played to perfection! they welcomed us as if we were their fellow countrymen and we accepted them as our own! even when they were "finished" with their set and we all chanted "one more song! one more song! one more song!" they came right out and did 3 more! :D i cannot wait for Eluveitie to return to club firestone.

We saw both Eluveitie shows - in St. Petersburg on the 24th and Orlando on the 25th. St. Petersburg was more intimate, which we really enjoyed, and Orlando was just full of an excited energy. Both shows were absolutely flawless! The band made sure to cater to both the folksier oriented of us and the pure metal fans. They were very sound technically, and the music was just brilliant. Their albums don't even compare to their live performances - they're just spectacular!

Eluveitie is by far one of the best live shows you could possibly see. The energy that comes from this band is unbelievable. The first time I saw them, I drove over 7 hours to make it and I would go farther in a heartbeat to see them again. The only sad thing about being a US fan of this band is how rare shows are here in the states. If you ever get a chance, you must see them perform. It will blow you away.

I'm a huge fan of folk-metal so every single band that played here was pretty awesome. Belphagar and Vreid were even okay too, even though they're not much folk-metal as they are just... heavy metal. But doesn't matter!! It was still awesome!! I was right up against the stage! I love how small of a venue Blondies is.

Eluveitie's performance was incredible. No samples, full band on stage, over 7 instruments; simply incredible ... they played every song well and were just as enjoyable live as they are on the cd, if not more so the crowd was phenomenal as well. tons of moshing and dancing ... good group of people Alestorm was awesome. Belphegor was a fun watch but didn't really fit the rest of the bill. Vreid came out of nowhere and was surprisingly good. if you're into folk metal GO SEE THIS SHOW! if you're into other metal, you'll still probably have a good time

Top notch folk metal for an energetic and engaged audience. Even us old guys were on the floor. Next time, Tyr need to headline. Rock so hard.

Other than the fire alarm being pulled and having to evacuate the building for about 20 mins, this concert was amazing. Both Metsatöll and Týr were incredible, and Eluveitie completely blew me away. The venue was excellent with well stocked bars on both floors. The crowd was great as well. Had an overall amazing evening!

All three bands - awesome and most excellent night of folk metal in Chicago!

Eluveitie, Týr, and Metsatöll were all amazing. I was already a fan of Eluveitie and Týr, but Metsatöll was new to me, and they blew me away. The first note Metsatöll played set the tone for the whole evening that followed. Týr is a tight act that mixes power metal with folk metal. I don't know if they're as big as Amon Amarth, but maybe they should be. And I'm dreaming of the day that Eluveitie gets some mainstream attention in the States. Maybe if Slayer and Lacuna Coil can play Jimmy Kimmel's show, than so can Eluveitie some day.

One of those under rated bands in North America. Real mix of song styles in their catalogue. Real mix of styles within each song. Intriguing!

Eluveitie always, always puts on a great show. Sadly their new violinist, Nicole Ansperger was unable to be at this performance due to a family emergency. Even so, they still kicked some a$$. I love this band immensely and will see them every chance I get. The support acts, Metsatoll and Tyr were also great. Also, at one point I walked by a girl who was straight up knitting. That was different.

Metsatoll, Eluveitie, and Tyr were awesome, the performances were very clean, and they sounded great.

Metsatoll was awesome! Didn't expect to like the others as much as I did. Fantastic show all around!

Great show both bands were awesome, enjoyed immensely.

The bands were amazing, the crowd friendly and fun. Then there was Eluveitie who put on the most epic show I've seen to date! I would see them about a hundred more times!!

Before I saw them live, I wasn't a big fan of Eluveitie. I liked Tyr, their second opener, a lot more and that's what drove me to this show. Tyr was great like predicted then it was time for Eluveitie. From the first song to the last song Eluveitie was brilliant. All eight members of the band were bringing it. Their passion and energy drove the crowd wild. A band that I barely knew became my favorite live act ever. So epic.

I hadn't heard of Eluveitie until just a few months before the concert and kept going back to listening to them. Of the 10 - 15 metal concerts I've been to, they are the best. I love how well they mix metal with folk music and they have such a good variety of songs. Some death metal hard, others a more traditional folk sound. The variety of instruments they had on stage was awesome. There were 8 people on stage at once. I love the hurdy gurdy now. However, the best part is how they sound live. There aren't a whole ton of theatrics, but they didn't need it. They sounded just as good or better live as they do on their CDs. I think I'm in love.

Second time seeing this outstanding band and I will continue to see them as long as they're touring. Eluveitie is one of the most talented and creative bands around right now!

Went for Wintersun and they were absolutely amazing.

Before getting tickets for this show, I'd never heard of Varg and had only casual knowledge of Wintersun. I've got a new appreciation for both. Since we were there for Eluveitie, and the venue was PACKED, we stayed downstairs in the lounge for the first two acts but with the video screens we could see more there than if we'd crammed into the main area. When Eluveitie took the stage, we made our way to the front and had an awesome view for the remainder of the show. As expected, Eluveitie didn't disappoint. Doing the entire Helvetios album was an interesting choice -- I prefer a more mixed set considering they have so many songs I love, so I'm glad they came back and played a few extra songs as an encore -- but it still rocked hard and I left satisfied. They all sounded great, and while Sime is missed, Rafael Salzmann was a very charismatic addition to the lineup. I'm sad that they won't be returning to the states for a while, but I got to see them twice in one year, so I shouldn't complain. I'll be there when they come back.

Wintersun was incredible. Death and the Healing was a great song to hear live. Eluveitie destroyed. The myriad of ancient instruments gives their music such a layered feel. The pit was a jovial display of camaraderie amongst men and women simultaneously in reverence of the past which we seem to see repeating itself whilst getting wild as we express the frustration with our chaotic status quo.

I have been a big fan of Eluveitie since their Ven and Spirit days and have been waiting to see them in concert for years and it was really good! They played their entire new album and a few of their old songs (which I enjoyed a lot, but I wished I could have heard a few more of the old stuff), but they sound really good live and they are the best folk metal band in my opinion! Also it wasn't that expensive, and I got to hang out with the band after! Awesome band, musicians, and overall experience!

This bands musicianship is just amazing. How many bands do you know that use a Hurdy Gurdy? The acoustics in this venue were boderline horrible, but the energy put forth more than made up for that. Also, I really appreciated the 16 dollar tickets. Quite a change from the normal fare.

Eluveitie was one of the best concerts I have ever seen live.

Eluveitie was unbelievable live. If you've never seen them before you really need to check them out. Probably my favorite concert yet...

fun concert....Eluveitie is one of my favorite bands....and they dont come around to often to atlanta

Thank you Eluveitie and 3" of Blood for melting my face! That was evil and delicious, it was evilicious! I hope the old gods keep you safe with their fiery breath in your many journeys through awesome!

Eluveitie is by far the most fun folk metal show you will ever go to. They're amazing musically and the crowd is fantastic. Whether your standing to the side or up front and just enjoying the music or in the middle of the pit (which is amazing at their shows) you will have an outstanding time. Eight musicians on stage, a variety of modern and Celtic instruments, and an enormous amount of talent. 3iob is also a powerhouse live. Since it was the last night of the tour they did a stage bomb on Eluveitie and helped the crowd sing some crazy, dead language by making fake english lyrics and holding them up on signs. Both bands and the crowd loved it. You could tell they really enjoyed playing together GO SEE THESE BANDS

Freaking awesome. It was the last show of the tour so they were having alot of fun.

Eulveitie put on an incredible show. Please have them back in this area as soon as possible. The only thing that could have made the show better is if the accompanying bands were in a more similar style to Euveitie. The fact that cameras were allowed was extremely cool.
