The Offspring

Awesome night , sound was good like small intimate venue , like a backyard party . Scary party aluminum stadium bleachers , those won t last and people will get hurt bad they are so rickety and shaky

Venue was awesome and so was the lineup!!! I would love to see that type of lineup again!!!

Venue was awesome Set up was amazing And line up killed it

$10 to park! That's bs, and though I really ,really enjoyed the show, I won't drive to CMAC again. Dropkick delivered and was a fast paced hard act to follow, but the Offspring showed why they're a premiere touring band...they entertain as well as perform. Great bands, crappy environment....

The band's performance and energy was incredible - they played a great mix of old and new favorites.

I've always liked Dropkick, but seeing them live was so totally worth it. I couldn't have been happier with their performance especially when they came out for an encore. As for The Offspring, what can I say? I'm a diehard fan and I was completely satisfied. Their stage performance and entertaining qualities surpassed everything I was expecting. Now that I think of it I don't even know what I was expecting from the amazing show I saw last night!

Opener was great, Dropkick Murphy's ok. (too loud & distorted) Offspring, way better than 5 years ago @ Hamerstien Ballroom. Lots of energy! Great mix of old & new songs. Been a fan for 25years.

Good show! Wish the Offspring had played longer, but it was still a great set!

the songs were great, the band was exciting and the venue was cool. what more could u ask for?

not impressed. Didn't have a good time.....................................................................................................................................................

Dropkick Murphys KILLED it! Offspring was good too, but DKM really gets into the crowd and make it personable. GREAT show.

I wasn't too excited about Dextar's vocals but the show was still amazing.

This concert was an unbelievable experience!!! They played just about ALL of their hits and had the crowd rockin'! Their special effects were great. Lots of color and each went right along with the appropriate song! We will definitely see them again. They are worth every penny!! The rain didn't stop the crowd from jammin'!!!

Dropkick Murphy's and the other openning act were amazing....and Offspring did not disappoint. The CMAC setting was perfect for a high energy start to the summer !!

Love the Dropkick's so whether The Offspring even showed up didn't matter to me, but I have to admit, The Offspring were great. Not at any time did my attention wander to look at the time. I really liked the offspring! They really are a great band. Also, the Dropkick's are just a great band! Those guys rock! Lastly, there was an old guy up in the expensive seats that had his hands over his ears most of the night...funny. Note to the old guy: Rock bands are loud, don't come unless you WANT your ears blown out!

Cool show - Great light show - CMAC - very nice venue - neat, clean, orderly parking. The band showed TONS of energy - got the crowd involved. This was the first time I had seen The Offspring - would go see them again tomorrow!!!

I have been to a lot of concerts and The Offspring was the best I've been to. They played their best songs; a great mix of older & newer songs. They really got the crowd into the show and you can tell that they still love to rock! I can't wait to see them again.

The show was really great. Both Offspring and Dropkick Murphy were awesome

This show was definitely worth their four year wait before they toured in the states again. Definitely one of my all time favorite bands and I finally got to see them live. They were very good!! The only thing that I did not like was that they only played for about an hour and a half and played pretty much straight through their set, including their encore. But the show was that good that those details are rather minor. I loved how they came out and rocked their first four songs really hard and then they kind of talked to the audience a bit before playing walla walla and played the next three songs straight through. Dexter did look like he was gaining weight and noodles looked like he had a lot of gray hair. I liked the new drummer a lot and overall it was a very good show!!!

The Dropkick Murphys were fantastic! Offspring was amazing! So glad i went!! it rained a bit but it was so very worth it!!!

I listened to The Offspring when I was yonger back in the nineties, but they were never one of my favorite bands. Not knowing what to expect, I ended up thinkin they put on a great show. I liked that they played older songs. Also, they sounded great.

Show overall was great! The two opening bands were ok, but once Garbage hit the stage they ruled and should have opened before the Offspring! Sublime with Rome was horrible, and should have stayed home, sound was bad, vocals were muffled, I actually walked out to vendors area after awhile until they were done, and I usually stay for all the music. I can't say enough about Garbage, they had so much energy and never disappoint! The Offspring put on a great show also, sounded great, performance and lighting was excellent!!!

Why did pepper only play for 20 minutes? I would have rather had The Offspring played first and let Pepper have a longer set....

Don't go if you're just an Offspring fan. 311 put on a pretty good show, but they're just not for me.

Pepper opened the show. they are a Hawaii based band and unfortunately they are a gimmick band. They come out dressed as lifeguards and try to speak in beach lingo. Musically tight but stage presence is zero. Offspring came out second and while I am admittedly ont an Offspring fan, they killed. They played all of their hits, 2 new songs and had the crowd by the second tune in. 311 opened with Jackpot and kept it going from there. My only "complaint" is that they didn't play more from Uplifter (Notably It's Alright which they don't seem to be playing at all anymore). I was fortunate to have seats right next to the sound board which made for a great overall sound although on "Come Original" SA's vocals overpowered Nick's briefly. Easily one of the best shows I've seen in a long time.

I took my brother to this concert, just me and him. I am 18 and he is 12, and his favorite band is The Offspring, and he absolutely loved it! I love 311 and The Offspring, but The Offspring i have been listening to for a LONG time, i just kinda got into 311, but know a lot of their songs already. My little bro was even jamming to 311, and he didn't even know the songs that they were playing! 311 really knows how to get a crowd riled up! They really interacted with the crowd. Dexter Holland of The Offspring played a piano version of "Gone Away" and an acoustic version of "Kristy are you doing OK?" Pepper played some cool songs too. Each band also played a brand new song just for Detroit which was cool. Just an all around EXCELLENT concert! Definately going to Unity Tour 2011, and i will bring some friends this time.

It is doubtful whether I looked forward to any other event this year more than this one. Of course I arrived late, and missed Pepper, so I can't say what I thought of them. There was an ovation for Offspring when they appeared and opened with "The Kids Aren't All Right." For me, I couldn't get in the groove and enjoy the show, and it seemed to me that the gents onstage were not 100% either. A number of people around me commented, almost in unison, that Dexter's voice is already showing signs of wear and tear and exhaustion. If this is just the start of the tour, we can't recommend how he'll sound by the end of it. As for 311, I barely remember these guys from my youth, and I can't say enjoyed this part of the show. I heard the two songs I could remember, but the rest was all new to me. The diction was extremely poor - to listen for a clearly sung or spoken line (the second verb was not int he programmes as it should have been) in vain is distressing. I eventually left before the concert ended, quite bored and unimpressed.

The Offspring killed it this weekend at Grand Sierra Casino. The venue was great and the sound was awesome. The only thing that suckd was that the show was a dude-fest, but i guess that's just the way it is in Tahoe/Reno area. Other than that we had a blast and won some money playing Blackjack after the show!

I'm 22 and this is the first concert I've ever been to. It was absolutely unforgettable and I will definitely be going to their concerts in the future.

This was the first time I saw them live and it was awesome, very happy with the songs they played, my only gripe was I wish they would of sung more songs from Ixnay .

This was my second concert in St Augustine and I loved it!! I had a blast bumping and swaying with all the people as we jammed to our favorite songs!! Offspring's video show was pretty good too. I got lots of pics and video!! I'd definitely go back anytime!!! Five stars!!!!

cant miss show, they played all there greatets hits. Energy level always to the MAX

Rockin' band, show and venue! Come back soon guys!

Very good stage presence. Sound quality was the best I've heard in a while. Great opening artist (Frank Turner check him out!). I can't even start to tell you how awesome the amphitheater was. Very comfortable and great view even all the way in the back.

It was an awesome concert! I traveled 6 hours to see them, and it was well worth it! I could have stood there all night watching, listening, and singing along with them. They did a great mix of new songs off their Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace CD and their numerous hits from previous years. Even though it was the second to the last concert in their U.S. tour, they sounded great!!! I don't know how they do it! I still haven't got my voice back from just one night of singing along! I hope they keep putting out the tunes and putting on great shows! When they tour again... I am SO there!!! When they played Self Esteem (the last song they played) and the whole place was singing the song!!! It was amazing!!! You know, that whole audience bonding and sharing a spectacular moment together thing. It was kewl watching Noodles jump during the chorus and clearing over a foot in the air each time with a cigarette hangin' out of his mouth! My old ass was thinking, I can't do that and I don't even smoke! :) Opening Acts: Frank Turner was good and entertaining. I never heard of him before but his songs made me want to learn more about him. Sum 41 was amazing and Derrick really knows how to work the crowd. Although I mainly went to see The Offspring, I'd definitely go to another Sum 41 concert in the future! They were great!!!

Front row and I could not have had more fun! These guys still rock hard and are a lot of fun playing for the crowd!

My three friends and I drove from Marietta, Georgia to St. Augustine, FL to watch The Offspring perform as well as Sum 41 and Frank Turner. The opener, Frank Turner, was really good and added some variety to the show. Sum 41 had a lot of energy amd we all really enjoyed it. Offspring was AMAZING! All of our bodies are sore the next day because of all the jumping and headbanging we did. We all decided it was well worth the money and time to drive over 500 miles round trip and take time off work to come to the concert. I would do it again any day!

Great time, glad to have the opportunity. The bad was great and I had an awesome time!

The Offspring and Sum 41 were great! So happy to have this calibre of concert in St. Augustine. The Offspring left no disappointments in the song sets. One complaint is the venue may have been too small or amps too loud for the location. At some points the tunes were distorted. They totally rocked! Would've been in the mosh if I was a younger!

The Offspring is amazing just listening to in the car, but they were so much better live. Dropkick Murphey's was just was sweet.

Time Again played first and the sound was horrible. Dropkick Murphy's were the bomb as always( I've seen them like 10 times). The Offspring played my favorite song " Bad Habit". I wished they played more older songs like from there first 2 cds. Offspring needs to come back more often.

Sum 41 were really good ,first time seeing them live .Short Set though ,but good show . They grabbed some people from the pit to come on stage . I thought that was pretty cool. The offspring was next , again really good set .Pretty much every single out there. Amazing set,people were singing along ,jumping and having a great time . Cant wait to see them again

The combination of Sum 41 and The Offspring was BEYOND AMAZING!! They had a great playlist and each song was just as good as they were on the CDs!! Can't wait to go see them again!!!

I've been a fan of The Offspring for 13 years now. They are my favorite band EVER! So when I heard they were coming to the Central Ohio area I did a little happy dance and purchased my tickets the day they went on sale. Day of show I got to the venue about 2 hours before the gates opened. The tickets were all general admission so I knew I'd need to get there early to get a good spot once inside. That method worked...I was front and center (moshpit) for the entire show and the energy was INTENSE! Dropkick Murphy's blew me away and I'm a fan now, hadn't really paid any attention to them before. My brother LOVES them now (I drug him to the show so I wouldn't waste my extra ticket)! The Offspring did not dissapoint. They played a good mix of their newer material and greatest hits. There had been a chance for fans to stop by the merch table before they went on to request the band play certain songs. VERY COOL! All around AMAZING show!

we had a awesome time at the show!we made it a family night out! all 3 kids loved the show ages 5,10&13!best dam family night out ever!

The Offspring are great live. They didn't overburden the audience with only songs off their new album; they made sure to play all the good ones from their first several albums. Sum 41 was a very good opening act also.

Everyone gave great performances! Offspring plays some old favorites along with thier new material so it was a good mix.

I LOVE THE OFFSPRING. ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL. EVERY SEAT WAS A GREAT SEAT! I WAS IN THE BACK AND STILL TOOK EXCELLENT PICTURES. THE LIGHTS WERE AWESOME AND COORDINATE. NEVER SEEN ANYTHING BETTER! I LOVE THE OFFSPRING THEY ROCK. THE WORDS TO THEIR SONGS ARE PERFECT AND BRIAN HOLLAND IS A BABE!

Dexter and the crew showed MA that they still have what it takes to favorite live shows. They brought in a great mix of younger and older fans. They kept everyone moving and on their feet...and they didn't stop either. I also loved that they had a few new arrangements for some old favorites!

Offspring is one of the most entertaing bands I have ever seen. They rocked out for two hours playing all their hits and a couple songs from their new cd. They had the whole crowd into the show and were very energetic on stage. (For some older dudes they can still rock!) Also they didn't try and force all their new cd's music on the fans like other bands try to do.

The show was great!!! The Offspring, Sum 41 & Frank Turner all rocked!!!

BEST time & AMAZING!! Had so much fun! Lots of love!

One of the best shows I've been to all year. Highly recommended. Took my mom for her bday and I've never seen her have so much fun! Would definitely watch them again!

Awesome band...great venue as it is attached to the fairgrounds :) wish we were a little closer and the music was a little louder. We could actually talk over the band which isn't ever possible at a concert

The crowd was sing-yelling all the songs and everyone was pumped up.

Concert was amazing!!!!!! I want to see them again. They played all there hits!

Initially, I only went to see Naked Raygun and the Stiff Little Fingers, but was blown away by Bad Religion. I had only heard a couple of their songs on the radio, but they were great in concert. Next time that any of these bands come into town, I will be attending. Only negative on the night, the Offspring did not play the song, "Gone away." Loved the venue, all bands came to play.

The sound was great and the set up was really cool. I was concerned that the VIP section would get the front rows, but they were pushed back and the fans that wanted to squish to the front were able to see the bands up close. Offspring, Bad Religion and Pennywise were awesome! I would love to see more concerts at Exploration Tower, maybe even a Yuri's Night! (www.yurisnight.net)

Just when I thought that Offspring was not going to be able to top the show of Pennywise and Bad Religion's phenomenal performances, they came out swinging! Awesome show all around and an excellent venue!

With the band not being around in awhile the offspring acted like they never left playing the album smash in its entirety they rocked from the 1 st song to the last with about a minute intermission they played about an hour and 45 min they sounded as good as ever killer light show to add

Great concert! Worth every penny spent on the ticket.

AWESOME!!!! Sound was excellent, premises in great shape, and security on guard.

What a great place to see a show! No too big, and a lot of nice amenities, like a large shade tent near the concession stands. The Vandals are still crazy good, after all these years. And Pennywise is back to form with the return of their original lead singer. Bad Religion is certainly one of the tighest, most polished, punk bands you'll ever hear. And Offspring did a good job keeping up their end of the show, even though they are by far the closest thing to a pop group on the bill. The moshing was nuts, but the crowd was for the most part respectful of each other.

The Vandals- delinquents and amazing stage presence like early years Pennywise- one of my all time favorites live and they didn't disappoint! Even brought out Brian Baker to play a Minor Threat and Ramones songs as tribute, classic!! Bad Religion- one of the best sounding live bands you can ever see! This is my 16th show I've seen them in since 1992, still amazing!! Offspring- SUCKED!! They literally came out and played the whole album Smash. No crowd interaction, mechanical and even at one point asked the crowd what was next on the album! Sound tech sucked too! Very uneven and no consistent tone like they had the vocals and guitar on one channel. Left 3/4 through the set it was so bad. As a band they should be ashamed of even going on the same stage as the other 3! However, the tickets were only $43 if you print yourself so for 3 amazing bands well worth it. And the venue is awesome! Vandals, Pennywise, Bad Religion thank you for an amazing show again!! Offspring, you suck live, stay in the studio with Blink 182, POSERS!!

I really enjoyed this show. The venue was excellent and the show was absolutely amazing! I recommend this show, and venue, to every and anybody!

Being the first stop on the tour, we received a high energy, high velocity performance from each band. Pennywise was spot on with every song, and Bad Religion killed it with their great setlist! Offspring closed out the show with a loud, fist-pumping set. This was a genius lineup!

Aweaome performance. It was nice to see them after all these years and they sound great. Too bad they ended the show right away and no extra songs but they were Great!!! Love the venue

This Offspring show was one of the best shows I have seen. They sounded great and had really good energy. The crowd was really into it and they fed off that. They played the entire Smash album in order, and most of their other popular songs. They have been on my regret list of bands I had not seen, and now I want to see them again. The Adolescents opened for them and were to busy making political comments and trying to get his daughter (lead singer) laid, that their set was weak and short. They were good back in the day, but not so much now.

As always the offspring put on a stellar performance. Special bonus is this is their 20th annerversy of Smash so we got to hear/see the album in its entirety.

It's been a few years since I've been to a concert where the entire audience (of mixed ages) was so into the show and singing along. Dexter, Noodles and the rest of the band didn't disappoint any one.

The Offspring were on, the crowd was up... Great show!!!

The band was amazing, and still sound like their old selves. They played so many of their very best songs, and a few new ones as well. I had no voice left at the end of the concert, so it must have been great. Although the band was spectacular, the venue was a little on the annoying side. Seating took up a lot of room that could have been used for standing. Everyone was standing so the seats did not need to be there. Only the very front row was allowed to be around the stage and nobody was allowed standing in the isles. We paid for premium tickets and were very close to the stage, but still, we were not allowed to crowd around the stage. This is a concert! Unbunch your panties CasinoRama!

Sound was a little off at first. But The Offspring always put on an amazing show. They are so true to their fans and full of energy. Great performance. Great venue.

The Offspring have been a part of my life since they came along and it took 18 years for me to see them in person finally!! They were so fun and I danced my A** off at the stage and my 16 year old son got to finally experience a bit of a mosh. ( and see me in a whole new way) It was an unforgetable time and I really enjoyed both opening bands too. Props to Dead Sara and Neon Trees!

Dead Sarah and Offspring Stole the show!VIP seating and service was amazing.I have seen The Offspring 10 times now and it never get's old.

Everything on time no problems at all, the bands were awesome!

This was an awesome show! Great set list and great venue! Couldn't ask for a better night!!

do i really have to write a review about this?? anyone who was there knows it was awsome. and anyone who wasnt, i feel bad for! i hope they keep touring.. i will see them again.. SWF in NY :)

I started listening to The Offspring when I was 13 and now 13 years later, I've finally seen them! That being said, I'm so happy they played so many old songs (I also like the new albums though). Self-Esteem as the closer was just the icing on the cake!

I wasn't sure about some of the other bands at first, but in the end, I loved them all. Foxxy Shazam was crazy and fun... I ADORED Garbage, and Offspring has yet to ever let me down. I was in a pretty big slump for a few weeks... they ripped me right out of that funk! THANKS for the awesome show!

Loved it. The concert was so amazing. To see The Offspring in concert was awesome.

Everything was perfect. The sound was good for a small venue, loads of energy on stage, talking to the crowd a lot and the light show was amazing!

The offspring was really good live. i have seen them before at another event, but they are even better headlining. Loved how they did a mix of there older stuff and not too much of there new CD (its good don't get me wrong), just a fan of there older CD's is all. Overall a great experience, liked how the city market was setup, never been to that venue. recommend this concert to anyone that likes offspring or just a fan of music in general. See you guys next time your in town in KCK!!

The best concert of the summer, sum 41 was great and the Offspring was epic. Go see them in concert they play a lot of music and are amazing in concert.

Well.. I only watched Sum 41.. I like the Offspring somwhat but their fan base that was at this show made me feel like I was at a pep rally... I had to get out of there. I think they should scrap the opening act (I forgot his name) and let Sum 41 play for another half hour. By getting shorter time slots, Sum 41 stick to the harder-faster stuff from their catalog skipping some really great slower songs. This should be a double-headliner tour and each band should get the same length of time to play. Also, why was it in Lowell? They could have done it at Boston University's Agganis Arena, they are almost exaclty the same AND it is in Boston. Overall, Sum 41 were incredible but with the limited time, Deryk could have shut up a little bit and squeezed a couple more songs in. They're still one of the best band's ever.

This was the first concert we brought our kids to, and it was a great choice! They sang all our favorite songs and made jokes the whole time. It was amazing!

This show was incredible, except for the pot smoking which makes me pretty sick, but enjoyed the show regardless, every artist was really good. I was very glad I got to go...the disturbing noise coming out of the speakers when cypress went on made the show sound distorted, and the Mosh Pit that was created during Cypress Hill and through Offspring's set made it hard to listen and enjoy while being slammed into when your not even moshing, but other than the couple of things the show overall was great and would definitely recommend the venue or show to my friends

All around great lineup! The venue is still really new, and is not completed with its construction so the temporary seats sucked. but other than that a great new concert spot. All the bands put on a great show! Jack FM's 12th show was a hit in my book!

I really enjoyed the show. 311 was so solid. Offspring did their usual all out performance. cypress HILL WAS COOL AND FUN. Gin Blossoms put on a great show. Lit's Tom Petty cover was killer and they were entertaining. Eve 6 had the first slot but came out with a decent set. All in all it was a good night. The venue was cool but the beer prices were a joke. And no draft beer and the food choices were week. There was literally no real security and thank God every one was pretty chill for the most part.

There are literally no bad seats here as it is a pretty small venue. I thought they should have had more time between sets. The concert felt rushed for this reason. There was only like 5 minutes between sets. If you needed to use the restroom by the time 1/2 the contract was over several of the bathrooms were broken down. Not good especially when you had to miss music if you want to use the bathroom. Security was good. Music could have been a little louder near the back.

Every band was amazing. The line up was incredible. I wish I could relive that night over and over again. The variety of music made for a great combination that was thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to start. The venue was okay, a little dusty and lots of lines, they closed half of the bathrooms during the show.

Jack's 12th Show was so great! I cannot begin to describe what I felt when the offspring came on! It was a perfect night!

The bands were great, venue still needs more work I know it s a work in progress and hoping that the bathroom situation gets better and in the future they provide some shading

Great concert at a great venue.....the bands were great it moved quickly. The venue was clean, easy to ge5 to and the seats were very good for sight line of the stage.

Never have I enjoyed a show like this. 6 hours of music bliss! Every group that performed was exceptional and I enjoyed being taken back to memories of my younger days.

Cypress Hill "Super Cool" Offspring "Awesome!!!, after 311 All time favorite

was great....went 2 years ago....seemed like we had better seats, and was cheaper, at Irvine Meadows Amph

The line up was awesome. Best time ever!!!! Wil definitely will go again.

This is my third Jack FM show, and it is really good to bring rock back to Irvine at the new FivePoint Amphitheater. Great lineup, already looking forward to Jack's 13th!

Though I had already seen all six of the bands on this stacked bill, my love for '90s music made me decide to drop about $50 (with fees) on a ticket to see them again. The show was basically what I would have expected, with none of the bands except 311 trying to push any new music on the crowd. The show ran smoothly, with very little down time between sets and none of the schlocky DJ heavy-handedness that often plagues radio festivals. I was also pleasantly surprised by the venue, which I understand is kind of a makeshift setup while a more permanent amphitheater is being constructed nearby. Traffic was smooth both before and after the show, parking was free, and getting in and out of the concert area was no problem.
