The beats, the lighting, the vibe, was all there. When attending previous Chemical Brothers events, they have been at Henry J. Kaiser in Oakland, and a couple of San Francisco shows. The vibe at the Fox was a bit chill, due to the amount of weed smoking potheads. Can't say I wouldn't indulge, but too many people were dazed. The security staff was friendly. There are plenty of bars, but they are always packed. THe aftershow bar/nightclub, looked like a great place to escape from the show early, and enjoy another few drinks. Since we were driving, parking was relatively easy, and heading back to 980/24 East was a breeze.

It was an amazing show with great sound (though I had heard the opposite about the Fox) and amazing visuals. As was expected, the Chemical Brothers put on an phenomenal show. A great blend between familiar tracks and improvised beats. While it would've been cool to see a little more variation on the songs it's hard to complain when they're really tight to begin with.

No words.. they are The Best ones ever! It was the concert of my life. All the energy, the music itself, their performance - spectacular, and the lights/images effect: perfect.

Great venue. The opening acts could have used some visuals. Huge venue, with awesome laser system. Chem Bros were behind amazing. Throwing it back and surprising us with huge 3D robots. Wow

Chemical Brothers without one of the brothers was actually very good! Adam Smith filled in for Ed onstage and the show was bullseye. Visuals were stunning 11/10! Sound was 9/10. The Armory needs to make ventilation better though. It was way too hot in there.

I liked the overall performance from the duo, the lights and the sound, the place was too hot air conditioning or wind fans.

The Chemical Brothers were good. But I bought tickets to see Brodinski. I've seen Claude play more times than I care to. Fans deserve a refund.

It was an enjoyable show.Visual was great. Sound was not. (the sound is getting better than the first show I saw there, still not great). Lots of seat crashers. The row my seat was in, was full of people who didn't have seats. The row my friend was in, had some one without a seat, standing in front of him the whole show. I love the Fox, but the ushers need to do their job. if you have a GA ticket, do not allow them in the seated area. Like they do if you have a seat, they will not let you in on the floor.

Great effects, but no real musicians. Tickets were way to expensive to not have a band. Looking forward to The Infected Mushrooms, they should have a band.

This was my first time seeing a proper Chemical Brothers show and they didn't disappoint. They reinvented all of their tracks, often to stunning effect, like on "Star Guitar" and "Believe." The LED backdrop was also used to incredible effect, most notably with the haunting dotted face during "Escape Velocity," which was a perfect closer for the primary set.

Chemical Brothers Live is literally life changing. The Fox theatre i believe to be my favorite venue ever, and the sound in this place is literally perfect. The Chemical Brothers put on an insane show that not too many people got to witness, so for us select few im sure we all cherished every moment of that night. Because those 2 dudes brought me more joy in those 2 hours than ive had in a long long time. I hope i get to see their live set again, possibly coachella?

My wife and I took my niece and we all had a great time. The FOX is the best venue in the Bay area and the Chemical Brother did their thing.

A pulsing throng of light and energy, the Chemical Brothers delivered an unforgettable show. Their new music was excellent and the transitions into their older tunes was perfect. The first time I saw them was great but this time around was amazing and memorable. The venue, the Fox Theater in Oakland, was a compliment to a sound and visual delight. Thanks

Never got a chance to see them until now and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the show. The venue (The Fox, Oakland) was perfect and the crowd was chill and definitely into it. The visuals were spectacular as well.

Ninth time I've seen the Bro's. Amazing act as usual. Set time seemed a bit shorter than usual but I accredit that to the opening act who went way over time. Can't wait to see the Bro's for the tenth time!!

This my third time seeing the Chemical Brothers, and they have never disappointed. They always make sure to incorporate a sweet DJ set with awesome on-screen visuals and heavy use of lasers/strobes. Their sets usually last between 1:30 - 2:00 hours. Whether you have a deep appreciation for their entire catalogue (like me) or have a casual interest in them...or just have some curiosity regarding big beat/electronic music in general, you (and your date/friends) will have an awesome time at their show - as long as you don't mind being drenched in sweat by the end!!! My only complaint this time was the amount of build-up time: Tom Rowlands loves that heavy distortion and lays on tons of it - fine most of the time, but once and a while I found myself looking at my watch, going 'okay Tom, time for the breakdown.'

Great music. Awesome visuals... Some of the best. As performers the guys are boring they just stand their and twiddle buttons. However, the sound quality, loudness, and bass were epic. Been to lots of shows at the Fox and this was by far the loudest and most booming. I congratulated the sound guy.

This was the most amazing show I'd seen in a long time. Firstly the music was a pulsating, pyschedelic swirl of old and new tunes (I'm not one who can reel off a list of titles... all I can say is they covered all the sweet spots). Just to single out one though "Horse power"...I'm not particularly in love with that tune on the new album, but live it was flat out powerful. A lot of that had to do with the incredible visuals that accompanied the tune. In fact the whole show was one cosmic light show. At times it almost overwhelmed the music but mostly complemented and enhanced it .
