What a Feeling

Amazing show! These guys deserve to be playing MSG!!!! The opener 'This is the Kit" was Amazing also!

Shearwater should be much bigger than they are. It baffles me that, say, Andrew Bird has blown up, while Shearwater, who are deeper, catchier, and more meaningful remain at the small-club level. Alas. It's great for fans, because we can see them infinitely. But they make so much beautiful noise that they really ought to be filling a larger venue with it.

WOW!! I have been listening to their CD (Mr. Green Vol 1) non stop since I got it. When I had the chance to see them at the BB in NYC, I knew that I had to go! The show was honestly one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen (and I am a pretty harsh critic). The music is exquisite. The vocals are absolute perfection. The passion for music pours out of this band. It is the most beautiful thing to experience. Each song is a brilliant masterpiece. It was unlike every concert I have ever been to. On top of that, they couldn't be nicer. They didn't leave until any and every fan had a chance to meet them/get pics/get autographs. They are as nice as they are talented. This band is my absolute favorite, and I can not WAIT for the next show!!! I will be there with bells on!!!

I've seen these guys over 10 times now, and they consistently kill it. High energy live dance rock for the entire set. Cute girls getting down all over the place. Amazing light show ... definitely gotta check this band out if you get the chance.

It was a good show. However, with a few of the launching members, it is not what you would expect if you listened only to their album. The new singers are phenomenal with voices that carry weight, but there is no warbling Antony Hegarty to lend his talents. The venue was excellent, with a mix of scenes converging on this band it was quite a sight. All the performers are humble, and if you chance to meet one they don't play up their status. My biggest gripe is the lack of a full band, the saxophone and other instruments were digitally manifested, and it just could not compare. This is understandable considering the size of the venue, but still, I would wait to see them again until its at a venue where they can perform with a whole ensemble.

Empires is on a roll. New record coming out soon. The new songs catch you the first time and are true to the Empires sound we know and love. Frankies was lame. Been there before. They did not open at 7 to let the band set up like they said and got there to open at 8P. Empires has to do sound check after the warm up band while we where all waiting. Easily avoided it Frankies had just been there on time to let the bands set up and do sound check.

Hot Tuna never disappoints! This was a killer show right from the opener, Hesitation Blues, it was a pleasant surprise to see Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams as special guests. Larry is such an underrated string player & Teresa wailed on my favorite Hot Tuna cover Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning! It's been too long since I've been to a Hot Tuna electric show and was blown away at how well these old heads can jam!

My first time seeing Hey Rosetta live and it was very good. Talented musicians with some great catchy songs. They didn't interact with the audience as much but in the end that was ok because every song they played showed their talents. Yukon Blonde was pretty good as well. I felt they started strong and went into some songs I was not as fond of. Great encore with by both bands.

Ximena and her band came out rocking and blew the roof off the Shelter!! The crowd was in high spirits and the band reveled in the love! If you love alternative music played expertly with passion, then this is the artist you crave to see live! Loved it!!!

It was such a treat to see the guys performing together again. They played all my favorite songs along with many of Will's songs. I brought two of my sons to the show and they loved it. They were amazed at their onstage performance and energy level. My 12 year old son sang along to all the songs he's heard playing on my car for years. A memorable night enjoyed by all, young and old alike.
