Cold Steel Renegade

World class musician!! Very personal and emotive presentation!!

So it was my first time seeing the vaccines live, and first time at the mayan theater. Both were amazing. I was already in love with the band, but nothing compares to a live concert, especially one at a great venue like the mayan theater. It was beautiful and organized. I even got to meet the band after the show! They're all so nice! Anyone who likes their music should go watch em live!

Went to see this band at the Beaumont in Kansas City with Into You Like a Train opening. The opening band was awesome, but on a really good show. The sound was great. Then Magf**kingnificent came on with two guys with guitars and an iPad drum/keyboard. The intro was promising, but when the singer started the sound was totally distorted. We stayed for 5-6 songs, thinking that they would stop and fix the sound problem, but I honestly think there was something wrong with the guy doing the vocals, not the sound system. I asked the manager of the bar if it was a joke concert and she sais she had no idea what was going on. I would have to guess that when we left, there were maybe 25 people left in the whole bar. I would like to see this band again because I love The Cure, but not sure if I trust them to do a serious show.

Jin's concert was amazing! His dancers were amazing and synchronized and got the crowd to clap their hands and get more excited. The crowd was very well behaved as well (Im not sure if this would be good behavior but it sure showed their love for Jin, a group up front threw like 5 bra's at him on stage!) Jin took it very well and everyone was just laughing, He looked happy for that much love. I do wish the concert was longer though! Just can't get enough! Only con was that no pictures were allowed. Though I was still able to sneak in some shots! :P

It was pure joy to see Skyrocket.Rock & Roll is here to stay.

I didn't know what to expect since the last time I saw Kassav was more than 25 years ago. Also, I had never been to the Howard Theater. I have to say that my family and I were impressed by the venue. It was comfortable, intimate, and beautiful. The music prior to the concert was kind of a weird mix, but it all contributed to the ambiance. The food was reasonably price, the service was a little shaky once the concert started, but that was understandable. As for Kassav, they were out of this world. They still have it. They worked the crowd from beginning to end. They kept the audience entertained and moving. Most of us (concert goers) were soaked when the concert was done -- because we were all dancing nonstop :)

I've been to quite a few concerts in my day and I have never seen so much energy in one room. When I first got there the crowd was light. Barely filled half the room. Once the bands started playing the energy in the room was amazing. Great crowd, amazing bands.

Elway was a very pleasant surprise. The singer was hilarious between songs. The copyrights were amazing, they really got the crowd going. Played their set without any stops and were just great pop punky goodness! Lawrence Arms played all my favorites and killed it. Punk danced all night and everybody was so friendly and picked eachother up when they were down. Everybody was soaked with beer and sweat. The sound was perfect, sinclair is by far one of the top venues in the city!

We waited almost two hours for Frankie Negron to come on while listening to a DJ and a 10 min performance of BA Star. Great time I just would have liked if he came out sooner. It was a very intimate venue. Max capacity of 500 or so. Which was great. We stood only a few feet from the band and they all put heart and soul into the performance. Frankie kicked out a trouble maker not 45 seconds into his first song. Major loss to that person. Good choice by Frankie!!

The play was funny through and through...filled with passion. But was spiritual. I just bought the DVD and plan to watch it again to see what I missed. I enjoyed the play very much.
