Run the Jewels

This was my first time seeing RTJ live and it was amazing! The energy was so intense and all of the acts were amazing. Also my first time at Southside Ballroom. It is a great venue!

This is a concert I'll tell my kids about! It was that damn good. There was so much energy in the crowd, and not to mention that the fact DJ Qbert and Flatbush Zombies opened up for them was amazing as well.

Everyone was great- DJ Cubert, Flatbush Zombies, and Run The Jewels.

I go to a lot of concerts. This was by far one of the best. Top 3. Best crowd I've ever been in though. No one was filming. No one was pushing their way to the front. Awesome show.

Tons of energy from this duo. Played a lot of their from the trilogy. Great set length, perfect sized venue.

Killer Mike and El-P know how to work the crowd. I had a great time and the energy was through the roof. Perfect performances complimented by great stage presence. I can't wait to see them again.

The opening acts sounded fine, but when RTJ came on stage, the sound engineer seems to have put the bass up to eleven and then mentally checked out.

Killer Mike and El-P were unbelievable, the crowd was incredibly into it and high energy, and it was just an overall crazy experience. Definitely worth going

The show was packed and the energy level great, the crowd was really into this music.

to preface: i'm not typically a rap fan. i came across RTJ's music from an ex of mine and was completely hooked. so when it came time to see them live, i jumped at the opportunity. i've been to many a rock/metal show in my day, so i expected it to not be my scene... i was skeptical due to the fact that my idea of rap shows meant standing around and bobbing your head to the music while a rapper stands there and just spits bars. i was pleasantly surprised. killer mike and el-p have more energy than a bunny rabbit on red bull. and the crowd... my goodness. when the first song hit, everyone started bouncing up and down and rapping along to a song from an album (i believe they opened with "talk to me"?) that was only released 3 weeks prior. it was almost a spiritual experience seeing these two. they're funny, charismatic, and incredibly talented. their live energy is unmatched, and is entertaining to both the hardcore hip-hop head, and the casual listener (like myself). if you get a chance (and the show isn't sold out already)... go. GOGOGOGO.

The hour and a half wait of the DJ and his "friend" was terrible. Once Run The Jewels actually came on, it was awesome. 45 minute show for 1.5 hours of filler though! I would have finished the show at Boston Calling, finished my drink at the bar, THEN come to see RTD had I known they would go on so late!

Was great, otber than the opening acts couldnt make it. Had to sit around and an hour and a half but when RTJ came on they killed it!

Awesome set. Both Killer Mike and El P were incredible live.

Couldn't think more highly of the show or the venue.

The concert was insane, but honestly it was too loud for my taste. It was honestly pretty painful. My ears were ringing for 2 days. It really was amazing though. Run the Jewels had a ton of energy and were a lot of fun. I'd go back any day.

All the performances were great. The crowd was really into the show and it was overall a great night of music. Salute to Killer Mike, El-P, Despot and Ratking. Until the next one.......

Honestly the best concert I have ever been to. Great small venue, incredible music and the crowd was very into it. I would see them again.

Venue is interesting because it is small but because it is Killer Mike and El-P, they made the place explode. People there were awesome, sound was great (borderline too loud), good times were had by all.

El & Mike killed it, as expected. Just go see them, no need to think about it.

After pretty good opening performances by Despot and Ratking, not a soul could truly grasp the energy that was to come from the crowd when the beat for Run the Jewels dropped. From then on it was a tremendous performance from some serious entertainers who knew how to get a crowd going.

Run the Jewels is just plain sick. Out of this world performance, incredible crowd energy.

RTJ was incredible. One of the best shows I've been to.

Amazing show ! Filled with energy from the first to last sets

They are crazy!!! They were bomb. The dj can scratch.

I don't attend that many concerts but Run the Jewels was an absolute blast. While the show started an hour later that initially announced (first act started at 10 rather than 9), that didn't matter too much. Despot opened the show and his 30 minute set was fantastic. He interacted with the audience, joked about his long-awaited debut album and did a really good job to warm up the crowd. However, the second act, Ratking, failed to maintain that momentum. If you google the group Ratking, you'll get conflicting info. Are they are four man group? Three guys? Well, only two members of Ratking actually showed up on the stage. While the producer Sporting Life had some great beats, the vocalist Wiki just felt out of it. He didn't really perform with much energy and his lack of it, quickly drained the room. Thankfully though, once RTJ hit the stage, the energy returned and it was incredible. RTJ2 is one of the best albums of 2014 and Killer Mike and El-P delivered a fantastic show. They too interacted with the crowd and gave us more than we'd expect.

unbelievable show and atmosphere. These guys kill it everywhere they go

Run the Jewels put on an energe performance. Only downside was there's no A/C in the Masquerade and I could did without 3 hours of opening acts and the DJ spinning records to watch Run the Jewels do a 1 hour performance.

From the moment Killer Mike and LP took the stage the bombardment of sound from the RTJ set was un fathomable ! They had the entire Bill Grahm civic auditorium on their feet the entire time. From opening the set with "talk to me" through the first few sounds that concluded with "call tickettron" everyone in the EXTREAMLY hot boxed house knew this was going to be a good show !

Awesome show. RTJ blew the roof off of the State Theater. New RTJ fan. First time ever seeing them. Gas lamp killer, Gangsta Boo rocked . Dj NIck & cuz were awesome as well

This was thee must unforgettable live show I've been to in years!! The energy from Mike, El-P, and spirit of the crowd were ecstatic. RTJ brought that Gold Show, and flow. I will always remember this night as one of the shows deserving of the title GOLDEN! Shout out to Gangsta Boo, Gaslamp Killer, Cuz, and all other opening artist you guys rocked that sh#t hard like granite!!! Sure we all got kinda close shoulder to shoulder, but I think we all expected that being at this show. No other complaints.

Best show to start off 2017! The set was great. They did all the best song. If was off the hook!

This was my 2nd time seeing RTJ and they did not disappoint. One of the best duos you could hope for. Vocals and sound on point, and they feed off of each other's energies. You HAVE TO go.

Loved the energy throughout the show, they did every song I wanted them too, and most of all the crowd was great, couldn't have asked for a better experience with my favorite rap duo

All the artist's were on point. The Venue sucks though. As said before get there early and close because you won't be able to see the performers the way the Venue was built. I can't speak for the bar or anything else. It gets tight know what you're getting into.

Run the Jewels opened up for Lorde and i was very disappointed on their setlist and stage performance. The thing is i was really wanting them to be good, but failed. The main thing is Lorde was Fantastic

Run the Jewels is very positively engaged with the crowd and very attentive and engage actively and have a lot of energy. I didn't like it as much as the first concert I've seen of them beut that's only because I like the second album better. There was a ton of a weed among hte crowd and it made me nauseous but other than that it was pretty cool, especially the giant fist and gun.

Overall, this show was phenomenal. The Southside Ballroom is great and the sound system was more than up to par to handle the level of bass that filled the venue. Logistics of getting into the venue and navigating the general admission area, bar and restrooms was only impeded by the sheer size of the crowd. Denzel Curry opened the show with high energy and great production. His vocal delivery was rapid and incompetent at times but he held his own as the show opener. Danny Brown initially brought a different dynamic as his opening song was quite relaxed but halfway through his set he showed the crowd why he was not only opening for Run The Jewels but also why he was featured on their most recent album. His energetic performance and popular songs had the entire crowd in sync with him until the last note played. RTJ hit the stage as the main event and displayed a camaraderie between EL-P and Killer Mike that is overly apparent on their albums. The two artist fed off each other during the songs and in between, joking and talking to the crowd the whole time like we were all old friends. There was not a bad moment to the night other than when RTJ played "Hey Kids" and didn't invite Danny Brown back to the stage for an encore performance on his verse of the track. If you are a fan of lyrical artists and unique production it would be wise to give any of these acts a listen. Once you do it would be hard to stay away from their show. Unless you just don't like music.

One of the best rap groups today. Killer Mike and El-P are essentially what hip hop should sound like, and live up to. They opened with a great DJ, and couple of other lesser known rappers but once they got on stage, it was noting but hands in the air and crowds screaming. Sometimes you couldn't make out everything they were saying, but if you're a fan, it doesn't matter. I'll see this croup any day of the week.

Only the best. Great band. Must see. Great venue. No drink lines and good sound.

Such an amazing show can't wait to see them in a couple of months.

Must see!! Both were Awesome!! Small venues is a must!! Better crowd.

A bit short, but a great set otherwise. Lots of positive energy and great music

From start to finish, DJ Qbert, FBZ, RTJ--all amazing.

Dude. Duuuuuude. If you're on the fence, wondering whether to go see RTJ or not, let me make the choice for you. GO. They tore through a good portion of their whole catalog, and every track hit like a ton of bricks. The whole crowd at the Aragon was going bananas. Run, do not walk. Do not pass GO or collect $200. Get to the show.

Killer show! High energy, opening acts were great!

Second time seeing RTJ live, and they don't disappoint at all. So much energy in the crowd. Fun evening all around!

Killer show. Can't wait for them to return next time

This was my first time seeing RTJ and they did not disappoint. The on-stage chemistry and love is real, and Mike and Jamie come across as BFFs who are surprised and humbled to have finally hit it big. I have a feeling this tour will be talked about for years to come, and if you are a RTJ fan, you need to see it. Their music is as vital and in-your-face as anything out there. Gaslamp Killer, one of the openers, is worth checking out, he reminds me of a muppet on speed, plus he provided a tour through US hip hop styles via an eight-bit Nintend unit.

They killed it. Killer Mike and LP have great chemistry on the stage.

My first show of 2017 and most likely to be the best this year! Killer Mike and El-P had great performances and made me feel just a little bit better about the world we live in. Do not hesitate to go see them live.

They bring it every time!!!! Can't help but to leave your feets when they come on stage. Wish they would have done Sea Legs, but I'm not complaining. REAL Hip Hop will never die!!

Everyone at this show was on point from Cuz and Gangsta Boo to The Gaslamp Killer but Run the Jewels definitely was the headliner for a reason, it's easy to see they know how to put on a good show it was dope.

Great show laots of energy the place was packed I will definitely be seeing them again.

Killer mike and El-p put in one helluva show. These guys split my brain in half with the energy and passion shown on stage. Top ten shows of your life, don't miss it.

Sound quality unbelieveable!! Amazing concert!!

Too many opening acts. RTJ was late getting to the show so some of these opening acts came back to throw water bottles at the people in the front row. They were fun when finally started, but also could barely hear them with the mix. I'll stick to their recorded music from now on, unfortunately.

This was the 3rd time I've seen RTJ and they never fail to make every show as fun, wild, and energetic as poosible. Jaime and Mike bring everything they've got every time.
