My five year old granddaughter and I had front row seats at the Saturday matinee. Best seats in the house for one of the finest shows ever for children! Front row is best, whether for a five or 66-year old!

Ignorant had a chick filling in for the Eve Libertine role, and she was really good: she had a lot of lyrics to spit out, and she did it with conviction. The crowd seemed to accept her very well. Ignorant himself did very well of course, and the band was good--they played all the songs you'd want them to play, including my Ignorant favorites like "Do They Owe Us A Living," "So What," and "Big A Little A." The opening band was Goldblade, a Manchester street punk band fronted by a wanna-be rock star. "Do you believe in rock 'n roll?" over and over and over again! The high point was when they did "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" in honor of the recently passed Poly Styrene. The venue is nice. I would've given the show five stars, except the opening band was mediocre at best.

The golf tournament was fun to watch up close. These guys are good!! Saw two holes in one in a 1/2 hour on the 4th hole. They make it look easy!! Doral is a beautiful resort and the Blue Monster course is tough! Water every place! If u are not a big hitter 280 yards or more it's going to b a long day!! Santana concert at night was amazing as always!! He is one of the ultimate guitar players along with Hendrix and Slash and Eddie Van Halen!! He can make that guitar talk!! Second time I've seen him in concert!! Excellent as usual!! Nice bonus was that my Saturday golf ticket and concert ticket was upgraded for Sunday's final round for free!! I received an email at 4:15 saying to just bring my ticket from Saturday to the front gate Sunday and they will give u a general grounds ticket to Sunday's final round free!!

Our home town theater seats about 1300 but there was so much energy that it felt like a large arena. From the opening song, Hamilton was clearly enjoying the evening and it was infectious. And Hamilton has put together a band that's second to none. There's a whole lot more than just notes flowing from Fabian Hernandez' sax when blows. If you don't get goosebumps, you ain't listenin'. Armando and Dante command a constant toe tap that moves up the legs and then throughout. And they surprise during their encore by doing something no one would think possible.

Totally old school. It took me ten minutes to get an autograph from Denise LaSalle (me standing awkwardly in her face until she finished doing what she was doing). I waited four years to finally see her in concert and meet her and the whole experience was not what I expected. I thought she'd be happy to see fans still coming out. I felt cheated as a fan. Her performance was good, but it was totally unorganized once she got off the stage.

The combination of both American Authors and Royal Teeth is what I always envisioned a perfect summer show for me to be. A lot of energy, great songs and an amazing sound throughout. The show wasn't a sellout, but the both bands played their sets like they were playing to a sold out larger venue. First up was American Authors. They started out their with the goal of setting the audience rocking and never one in their 6-song set did they let up the pace. They kept the small, but very lively crowd going and enjoying themselves. They played their two most known songs, the songs with singles out currently, "Believer" and "Best Day of My Life" and all their upcoming songs to be on their EP/LP releases later this year were great as well. Unfortunately, I don't know them well enough to give you a set list, I can only tell you I can't wait to hear those songs again. Royal Teeth didn't let up the pace of energy and excitement. How do you not achieve that when confetti is blasted into the crowd right away? I loved their entire set and it's a really solid set list at this point for a Headliner. It builds and comes back down and definitely crescendos into an amazing finale. I loved how well the setlist was mixed with songs from their current EP and their upcoming LP. Royal Teeth has definitely worked out their set list to really incorporate the crowd into it and make them clap, toss around balloons and just easily have an incredible amount of fun at their show. Happily enough, the crowd was very much into it for an encore. Everything I could have wanted from this show, I got that night at Stage AE. For Pittsburgh being a new market, they played the hell out of the show and if you weren't there the first time to see this show, I cannot implore you enough to come around and see this show again when Royal Teeth comes back to Pittsburgh. Especially if you're a fan, you NEED to see them live. It's so amazing and they're all so warm and personable after the show when you meet them by the Merch table. This applies to American Authors, too. Both bands absolutely want to meet you whether you're a new fan or old. So an already great night is capped off with a moment after the show with the bands. All in all, this is not just fan hyperbole, both bands are fantastic if you love anything on AltNation, or just really fun great music. The bands themselves are amazing and great people, the show they put on is top notch and they are absolutely great to meet and talk to after the show. How can you go wrong? You just can't. So wherever you are, if they play near you, GO! You won't regret it and you can thank me later.
