Vh1's Love & Hip Hop Pre-Casting Call Show

Kina Grannis is always naturally beautiful, down-to-earth, and vocally mind-blowing. Her voice is smooth, soothing, clear, and wrought with genuine emotion; a blend of melancholy and hope. A person can't help, but, to smile after hearing her perform. Amazingly enough, she sounds just as great, if not better live than her studio recordings. Keith, her equally smooth and humble cello player made a nice addition to her set/the show. Jesse, a.k.a. "Imaginary Friend" also meshes very well with Kina's sound. Imaginary Friend is almost the male equivalent of Kina. His sound is somewhat like a John Mayer meats Coldplay. My only complaint was some of the staff members of the venue (Paradise Rock Club) were rude, apathetic, and pushy, especially, for an all-ages event. These certain individuals did not represent the artist(s)/musicians well.

The Foundry was a cool club. The Fillmore made us stand outdoors for the VIP for an hour (30 mins past the time the band told us to be there- of course they blamed it on the band). Big Wreck was awesome and the M&G Great! We were told by someone (was he with the Foundry) to get there 15 minute before doors and we would get in early bc of our "VIP" status. lol Of course, that was not true- at 15 minutes after doors we got in. Butt ass cold- maybe the foundry should get the Fillmore to treat their patrons better. Big Wreck was stellar and there is nothing they could do wrong. Philly- get your shit together and quit doing things that are against the best interest of the prosperity and happiness of what could be a good city. (Just damn happy I was not there last night after the Super Bowl win- eating horse crap is pretty low. Hotel Monaco down by the Liberty Bell was great as well! All the people were pretty nice. Revolutions Bowl sucked and Campos was the bomb!

The Buzzcocks were awesome. Could have done without the 2 opening bands and the over priced drinks.

Serj Takian and the CSUN put on an amazing show. I loved it so much and would have loved to see the second show.

Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials are the Best Blues Band out there. You don't have anyone today that plays any better than this. I have been following this band for many years and they NEVER disappoint. Also, the sound system at Showcase Live is phenominal! Loved it! Bring them back to Massachusetts - please! by Eggheads.....Meg & Bri

Very good show, adult language was in the medium range compared to today's standards. Would definitely go again. Thank you Paul Rodriguez for keeping it down to our raza's level May God continue blessing you!

We had a great time! Beautiful campus, friendly people everywhere. Amazing folks working the concessions - all friendly and they appeared to enjoy their job. We'll be goijng back.

I Purchased VIP tickets and I had the worst view in the venue. Ticket Master employees were very disorganized, instead of directing me to the VIP entrance, they admitted me in general admission. I had to exit the venue and then go back to the right area, then when I get to the right location I was even more disappointed because VIP was not at the front like I was told by Ticketmaster, but instead it was on the side behind the speakers, barely could hear or see the performance. I wish I could get even half my money back.

I paid $150 for 2 tickets and send my 5 years old daughter with my parents. My daughter was not interested at all. One person show with all the same tricks. Show was only for 45 minutes, boring, boring, boring... I will never spend so much money again for such entertainment! Photo picture was taken coast $20!!!!! That is ripping off moment!!! The fee of that awful photo should be no more then $5.00 Not only the quality is unacceptable, but my daughter's feet were cut off on that photo. So, in general we spend $200 and no fun, no comfort and not a good memory left....

The venue was spectacular (Smale Riverfront Park), the bands/musicians were phenomenal (and the two stages with the various side events added up to just the right amount of things going on where it wasn't overwhelming), and the weekend ticket price was unbeatable! Would go again in a heartbeat! A big thank you to everyone who helped make Homecoming happen!
