How the Edge Stole Christmas Show!

The show was amazing, and all of the bands were great! Of the opening acts, the band "Joy Formidable" shone the brightest. And of the Headliners, ADTR and Rise Against were perfect and there is really no other words to describe their brilliance!

Civil Twilight opened the show. Although they were an OK band, their music is so slow and mellow. I didn't really think it fit in with the rest of the bands.. Cage the Elephant was great, as always. That was the third time I've seen them. Jimmy Eat World, also great. I love their older songs, but enjoyed everything they played. They even did a cover of Wham!'s Last Christmas, that fit in very nicely with the venue title. Smashing Pumpkins were phenomenal.. Played everything I wanted to hear and then some. Their bassist was Veruca Salt's Nicole Fiorentino. She looked lovely... I only had one complaint with the entire show..... I couldn't figure how why I couldn't find any pit tickets when they went on sale.. Well, it was because there was no pit..????? It has been a long time since I went to a rock show that didn't have a pit. But the show great, we just ended up standing in front of our seats and thrashing there.

the sound system was really bad. I didnt like it at all. I've been to other Edge shows. But, none was bad like this

Amazing concert. Short list but full of goodies. A couple favorites for the hardcore fans, and the new stuff was amazing. They never disappoint. Thanks Billy!!!!

I liked the "Cage the Elephant" lots and of course Smashing Pumpkins played the right mix of songs.. was disappointed in our 105 seats section, amps obstructed our view. Did not say on the online tickets or I would have chosen the balcony seats. The sound was distorted from the front but when we left to get food and drinks, it sounded better. I will not do anymore seats up front.

I liked all the bands that played that night including the local band WITH THESE WORD. The music was so loud from the smashing pumpkins my ears where still ringing 3 days later. lol. It was awesome.!!

My boyfriend and I purchased our tickets as early Christmas presents to ourselves. Show was really pretty good, we only watched Cage the Elephant and Jimmy Eat World because they were the only ones we wanted to watch.

I went for the pumpkins and they were good. I was not a fan of all the high school children that were there.

How the edge stole Xmas was AMAZING! from the local band that opened to the Smashing Pumkins...simply awesome.

civil twilight, jimmy eat world, and smashing pumpkins wereAMAZING!!!!!!!!!! cage the elephants music was really good but the vocals were annoying.

This was the first time I have ever said something was too loud. It's 3 days later and I still have ringing in my right ear and my wife has it in her left. I saw the pumpkins at the Palladium 3 months before and they wernt deathly loud like they were Saturday. It was a good show but a really odd thing happened. With 2 songs to go a security lady asked to see my ticket. I was in seats 11 and 12 as in the center of everything as you could get. She had to climb over people to get to me. Asked only to see my ticket then walked away. Not sure what that was all about. Kind of annoying though!

Was a great show by Billy and the Smashing Pumpkins!!! Last time we were there at the Theatre was a while ago. WOW fee for parking was unreal!!! Already paid $150 for tickets, and had to pay $15 to park???

Awesome concert! Great variety of acts that appealed to the entire family!

All of the bands played a great show. The Verizon staff were also friendly. This is a nice place to watch a show.

All of the bands were great, but I was really there to see Jimmy Eat Worl. They were amazing, and the played my favorite song- Last Christmas!!! Thank you to whoever requested it :)

The lineup was great! The last two bands were the best, of course. I would like to see more bands like those. Thanks!

Civil Twilight had some appeal(mostly to women who like men w/shrill voices), Caged Elephant lead singer sounded and acted like he was drunk his whole set, Jimmy Eat World took this show up a notch, then Smashing Pumpkins came in and took it over the top(wish they would have played 1979 and Disarm instead of a few of the newer ones that aren't nearly as good. I took my son/9, and he was really impressed w/Smashing Pumkins, and underwhelmed w/Cage the Elephant

Good Show. Enjoyed it. Loud.............................................................................................

I have wanted to see Cage the Elephant for awhile and they were amazing. Cannot wait to see them play Dallas again.

It was great to see a band that really plays live and doesn't just use the canned music. My only regret is that they did not play longer but given the energy level, that probably was not possible. One of the best concerts ever!

I wasn't excited about seeing Jimmy Eat World or Cage the Elephant. I was very pleasantly surprised by both bands!!

This was an awesome show! We liked seeing all the bands! Smashing Pumpkins did an amazing show that I will always remember!!! They were my favorite of the night but I also have loved the Pumpkins for years!!!!! They were awesome!!!! :)

was expecting a very good show, but it exceeded my expectations. one of the best i have seen. billy corgan is awesome and i will make every show anywhere near from now on. cage the elephant and jimmy eat world were also excellent performers

This was my first "real" concert, and I was so excited going in, but I left disappointed. Civil Twilight was good, but their set was incredibly short -- I think they only managed 4 songs, if that. And the local band played early, so we completely missed them. Then there was Cage the Elephant, and it was horrible -- I know which band I'll be boycotting this year. Their "new songs" were barely musical at all, and were mostly drunken screams. It completely killed the vibe and was boring (and hard on the ears!). Jimmy Eat World was the best part of the show; I wish they had stayed on longer. I especially loved that they did a little Christmas tribute. It was very sweet. I don't know what was going on with the Smashing Pumpkins. It just seemed like they hated the audience (understandably; there wasn't much crowd reaction). They added so much feedback to their songs that it was difficult to actually identify the music, though the light display was pretty awesome. It was better after the encore, for some reason. It just did not seem like a very cohesive event overall.

This was a great show. I was glad I got to see them play some of their oldies before they retire them forever. SP are a great band to see live. Plus the venue is one of my personal favorites. Always clean and easy to get into and out of.

The good. The Pumkins rocked. Every band keeped you focused. Great seats. Good arangement for these 4 bands. Cage the Elephant was a surprise. They performed much better than I expected. The bad. The opening band sucked. Why does every dallas band have to scream. Like Pantera?( may Darrell rest in peace, enjoying his crown.) $7 + beer that was flat and not cold.

This show was AMAZING! The bands were awesome, the crowd was lively, it ran smoothly and on time. Loved it!

not a bad seat in the house. the sound quality is great. JEW and Smashing Pumpkins delivered.

Love the Edge Events but extremely disappointed in the sound for the opening acts.... what happened? Came to see a rock show, in what is one of the finest sound quality venues in town, and someone forgot to turn the volume up on all of the opening acts? I've been to almost all of the Edge Events and never once has this been an issue... really disappointed.

There was a great lineup this year! Absolutely loved Rise Against!!! I am also very impressed by the Joy Formidable! Thanks 102.1!! I only have one issue. The past two concerts I've been to at Verizon Theatre have had the worst sound. The music and lyrics have all been drowned out by too much bass. All of the previous concerts I've been too there have been perfect. I love going to Verizon Theatre for concerts and would hate for my last two experiences to keep me from going there. I think its time to hire a new sound engineer!

All of the bands were good but the Joy Formidable kicked ass! They went grundge on their instruments and each other best stage presence of the night\\year!!

Even though Taking Back Sunday sucked, this was a great performance because everybody else was terrific!

The show was good. But the bands all played an hour or less, rise against was worth the price to get in they just did not play long enough...

Very good show. I was only going mainly to see Rise Against, AWOLNATION and The Naked and Famous but all bands had some cool stuff to share. I wish The Naked and Famous could've had a longer set but no big deal. AWOLNATION was pretty fun to see live but Rise Against stole the show for sure. I've never seen them live before but it was a fantastic performance from start to finish. Tons of energy and a great set list. Thanks to Edge for a fun concert as always. I'd definitely recommend it in the future!

The show was awesome. I had good seats and the sound was great. The first half was better than the last half. It should have ended with AWOLNATION because they were incredible.

I bought the tickets for my boyfriend as an early Christmas present, he was stoked to see Taking Back Sunday, A Day to Remember, & Rise Against. Being that this is more of the music I listen to rather than the normal concerts we go to, I was pretty freaking excited. We got Pit tickets and it was amazing! One of the opening bands was The Joy Formidable, and I am actually in love with them now. They put on a great show. Of course the three main bands were great too, the lived up to every expectation I had! We had a blast, we will definitely be looking forward to The Edge putting on another How The Edge Stole Christmas. If you didn't get to go, I hate to say it, but you definitely missed out! Thanks Ticket Master!

Awesome show! The energy was intense and the everyone was ready to party!

One of the best concerts I have been to in a while. Rise Against is one of the best bands around

I thought that this set list was a lot better than a couple years ago when ya'll had AFI and 30 seconds to mars. I didnt stay for the full show but had a great time

holy snotballz, this was an awesome concert! If you haven't seen the joy formidable....go see them when you get the chance. Rise against and a day to remember were the highlight of this show though! It's been my dream to see both. Adtr, the crowd was brutallllll in the pit! RA was phenomenal in their performance. And the atmosphere was definitely the best concert I've been too. Cooler people than at other concerts ive been to. If you get the chance to see how the edge stole Xmas next year, GO my friend! A night you will not easily forget.

if you were in the pit you know you had fun!!! Going back again next year for sure!!!

The bands that played were amazing! They had a great line up

Best concert ever, the loud fast rock for seven hours really relaxed me

This was my first How the Edge Stole X-Mas so I wasn't sure what to expect. What a great show. Other than some technical issues at the beginning of The Joy Formidable set, everything worked great and the bands were outstanding. I loved A Day to Remember--it was like a concert fused with a party.

AWESOME! Rise againsts did an awesome job. so did awolnation and the joy formidable

Joy Formidable was great also. Not real big fans of A Day to Remember outside of I'm Made of Wax

Took my husband to see Rise Against for his birthday. Good show. He had a good time though we didn't know any of the opening acts.

All the bands were great, the crowd was awesome & everyone had a great time!

The venue is one of the best in DFW (Verizon formally Nokia). Lots of good bands. Rise Against is great live. Taking back sunday is the worst live band I have ever seen (vocals were horrible).

Amazing rock show! The Joy Formidable has begun to shake the world!

Rise Against was good, as was AWALNATION, a day to remember was a joke. Think of them as boy band meets heavy metal, synchronized headbanging and highkicks. The joy formidable was good but taking back sunday was just ok. The venue is really nice, no waiting for food and drinks or the bathrooms. Would have been nice if we got a guest appearance from one of the bands with rise against at the end. Should be expected from such a big and touted show. Also, we sat in the SW deck, front row upper level, and the vocals sucked all night long.

When A Day to Remember came onto stage everyone freaked out even myself. Rise Against was just amazing. When they sound live they really sound exactly how they are. They were exactly an excellent way to end the event. : )

Smashing Pumpkins were awesome. They put an edge on their music you do not hear on the radio!

The whole show was good. The Smashing Pumkins were on. The rest of the bands were good also.

awesome show billy sounds just like he does on the records getting old but still staying the same age if you know what i mean. Bassist was hot favorite moment when my friend yelled "Hey Jimmy Eat This" lmao

great nite out with the wife, we had a ball samshing pumpkins absolutely rock so good to see billy enjoying putting on a great show

I have been to several concerts at different locations. This was my first time at Verizon Theatre, and I have never had my ears ring and hurt for so long after a concert. It was so loud that I couldn't hear the singer's voices most of the time...I'm thinking the drums and guitars were louder than the singer's microphone. The volume was entirely too loud. I have only been to rock concerts and love loud music...but this was tooo loud! I was very disappointed because I've been waiting to see the Smashing Pumpkins for 12 years. Not sure if I would go back.

The Smashing Pumpkins were the main band, and they did a great job. They played a bunch of old faves and also some new stuff as well as some new twists on older songs. Their set design was great and overall they were very entertaining. They rocked hard though -- my ears were ringing for days afterward -- but it was worth it. The other bands were great as well.

I went with my friend and we has a blast. My favorite band was Jimmy eat world and they were fantastic! Smashing Pumpkins were phenomenal. Cage was very entertaining and totally in their element.
