Brian Fallon & the Crowes

Brian Fallon & the Crowes put on an amazing show. The acoustics of The Ryman were a perfect match for all of Fallon's newer and more folk-like songs. It was a flawless performance and one that I will always remember. (My only complaint was the audience. I'm not sure if it was due to the music style or the fact that people were simply waiting for Ryan Bingham to perform, but no one stood up during the performance except me. To each his own, but I don't go to shows to sit down).

Brian Fallon was amazing. He was funny and engaging between songs. He played some new songs mixed in with his current songs. You can tell by the atmosphere in the stage that these guys love what they're doing. I can't wait to see him next time he comes back to Boston! Highly recommended!

This show was full of new songs, but was still engaging. Brian is a fantastic musician, artist and performer. I drove 9 1/2 hours in the snow to get to this show, and it was worth every second!

What an amazing show. Brian is so talented, and when he talks to the crowd in between songs, you're guaranteed to laugh. He's just really funny. It was exciting to be there for the Crowes' first ever performance! Looking forward to the new album!

Having seen both in Boston the night before I knew I was going to see a great show. I was impressed by Ryan Bingham on the first night but in Portland he and his band took it to another level and made me even more of a fan. Brian Fallon and The Crowes were great as usual. My favorite of Brian's set was him singing "National Anthem" solo acoustic.

Wish I knew Ryan Bingham went 2nd and wasn't headliner. Missed most of it due to ad description.

My fourth Brian Fallon show this year. Great as usual. Brian and the band were on fire! The audience was great singing along with every song.

Great set list! Too short, but to be expected for the venue. Fallon joined Ryan Bingham onstage for a good version of Atlantic City. He finished off his show with an great accoustic Navesink Bank.

The best show I've ever been to bar none. Brian Fallon is a fantastic entertainer, you can see the love he has for his craft every moment he's on stage. The venue was intimate and not a bad spot in the house. I would pay to see this show a hundred times over.

First and foremost most I want to say the Royale is a great place to see a band. Just the right size. The sound guy nailed it. Band sounded great and the volume was perfect. Ryan bingham and company were awesome. I stayed a little for Bryan Fallon and what I heard was good, I'm just not really familiar with him. I'm disappointed because I was under the impression that Ryan bingham was the main act. I bought tickets to see him, not Bryan Fallon. Ticket master should've been much more clear on this. One other big issue I had was that this was an " early show " .

Brian Fallon, of the Gaslight Anthem, played the Neptune Theater in Seattle in early September. Fallon's band (The Crowes) sounded great in the small venue. Fallon was highly-engaged with the audience in between most songs; sharing stories and responding to questions and comments. Overall, the show was great, Fallon showed a lot of personality and musical chops.

We saw Fallon back in January in NC had to drive about three and a half hours, hadn't heard but two songs off new album. Thought he might supplement his set with Gaslight Anthem material, but he didn't and it was still one of the best shows I've ever been to. Some six months later we drove 7 hours one way to see him in Indianapolis and it was twice as good. They slowed Painkillers down to a slow smoldering burn, and rocked thoroughly. The between the songs banter is always a highlight, because he is very funny and quick witted. Cool venue as well. Got to meet him briefly after the show and he signed my vinyl of Painkillers. True it looks like someone scribbled on it with a sharpie, but I'll always know. It was worth every mile!!

Brian is such a great performer and has so much charisma on stage. Even though his sound is different from that of Gaslight Anthem, he always captures the crowd and puts on a phenomenal show regardless.

Brian Fallon & the Crowes were awesome, he's such a talent, super witty and there was a great energy. put on a great show and I couldn't recommend it more. :)

Excellent show and highly recommend. He needs to do standup comedy too because he is hilarious!!

Brian Fallon has a way of writing that touches the soul that is both nostalgic and in the present moment.

Brian Fallon & The Crowes: Amazing as always. Please bring them back as often you can!

Huge Brian Fallon / gaslight fan. This show didn't do it for me. Also the view at the electric factory is brutal from the bar

Brian Fallon/Gaslight Anthem always put on a great show...never disappointed!!!

I consider Brian Fallon to be one of the top songwriters and performers in music today. Whether he's with The Gaslight Anthem, The Crowes, Molly and The Zombies or solo he always puts on a fantastic show. The Crowes are all talented musicians that make Brian's songs come to life. The show featured a number of songs from Brian's new cd to be released in March so many were being heard for the first time and the crowd responded enthusiastically. Can't wait for the cd and to see them again in Boston on March 11.

The show was great, mix of old and new. Lots of interaction with crowd, normal for Fallon. The venue was a huge factor in the awesomeness of show.

Very enjoyable show. I am a big fan of Brian Fallon from GLA and Horrible Crowes and I appreciate him coming to Portland! Wasn't familiar with the Crowes but was a great band and lots of fun interaction between band and audience. I only wish the set was a bit longer than 85 minutes! Understand solo material is limited but a short encore of covers or a few GTA songs would have made it perfect! Sadly audience was chatty during many quiet songs and it must have been annoying have performance drowned out by this.
