Tonic

We bought tickets because of Vertical Horizon. I'm SO GLAD that they played first before Tonic. Their show was wonderful! Everyone seemed to be having a good time and all were interacting with the audience in one way or another. If Vertical Horizion was the only band playing, I would have given this show 5 stars. We were really disappointed with the Tonic show. The vocals were completely unintelligable and the music was way too loud. The band members appeared to be bored and there was no audience interaction. We left after about 3 songs.

The Golden Nugget Casino venue is intimate and great for being "up close and personal" with the performing bands. It's standing room only, which isn't ideal for those in the audience who desire to sit for periods of time. However, if you don't mind standing, you can freely move around the room, side to side and front to back. Vertical Horizon was the opening act and quickly got the crowd amped up for the show. The lead singer, Matt Scannell was charismatic, engaged the crowd, and shared some background about how a few of the songs were inspired and written. Tonic was the headlining act and although I am admittedly slightly bias with my love for VH, I felt that Tonic's performance was a little disappointing. The lead singer was clearly intoxicated and even appeared to smoke a joint during the performance. The vocals were sloppy at times and he seemed more interested in feeling a buzz than giving a good performance. At times it appeared that the band had to carry him. The longer they played, the more F-bombs he threw out. Before the end of Tonic's performance, I noticed several people exiting the venue. Highly recommend VH, don't recommend Tonic.

With the intimate atmosphere of the Bear's Den, Tonic played, as they called it, a "loose" set. Consummate performers, they kept the crowd entertained with witty extemporaneousness, combined with a setlist that featured their numerous, radio-friendly hits, as well as newer songs off the most recent CD. Tonic is proof that rock and roll is far from dead.

Absolutely Amazing show. the guys had a great sound and a great groove going on. the sound level was loud and the vocals as well as they're playing was right on point. there wasn't a song I didn't like and I would see them again and again.

My sister and I drove from Spokane, WA to stay in Bellevue to go to the show in Snoqualmie! We hadn't seen Tonic in 10 years (since they had come to Spokane) and have been fans since they started 12 years ago. Awesome show for not many people showing up...but they rocked like there were thousands! These guys are amazing!

It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. We flew from Denver to see them in Seattle. The venue was perfect; not too big. We got there early enough to get front row. Emerson's voice was amazing. We only wish the band would have played a couple of songs from his solo album.

The venue allows for getting close to the band. You can stand up by the stage, or relax and sit in seats that still make you feel close. The sound isn't great because the room is small, but is offset by the intimancy factor. Overall Tonic was great. I went with my girlfriend because it's one of Her bands, but I enjoyed it.

I first saw Tonic before their first album ever came out back in 1996. From the first song to the last it was just as exhilarating as they were from Day One. Highly recommended.

Concert was awesome, everthing I expected from Tonic and Vertical Horizon. The venue was great. Small enough to get up close to the musicians and large enough not to get stepped on. Thanks Golden Nugget for putting on a great concert.

I saw Tonic several years ago in New Orleans, twice and they were amazing them and they are just as amazing now. Never had seen Vertical Horizon, did know many of their songs and they are great live. I love how well the 2 bands get along even coming out and playing with each other. Fantastic!!! Would go again in a minute!!!!

Had a great time! All 3 bands were awesome. I've listened to them for quite some time but never saw them live before. I'm glad I made it this time.

Great show overall. House of blues Orlando was a great intimate venue to see these bands as long as you don't mind standing for 4+ hours at a gen admission show. Vertical Herizon had the most radio friendly hits, and great crowd interaction, though all bands were extremely talented and entertaining. At about $32 a ticket, this was a steal. Made me remember what if only I missed about mid 90's music

Dishwalla was pretty good, although the set could have been longer (only 35 minutes). Vertical Horizon was AMAZING!!! Their drummer was awesome! Tonic came out at 10:45pm and rocked the House!

Best concert ever !!!! It was like sitting in on a studio session. Very casual and personal. Great venue to see a concert!!

My husband and I thought the band was fantastic-in great form and with great acoustics! We'd never been to Turning Stone before and were really impressed with the venue and the staff. Everyone was really helpful and nice and the venue was small and really personal. We felt like the band was making eye contact with us and we weren't even in seats closest to the stage! Really really great show!!!!

The show was fantastic. We changed seats as the showroom was not sold out and we preferred being up higher instead of floor seating. We would try to buy our next tickets for this area. Tonic was great. Sound was excellent. We enjoyed this event very, very much. Would love to see them come back to Turning Stone again. We would be there!!

The show was great...for all the people who did not go, they missed out.

The last time I saw Tonic live was at a small theater in Boulder, CO during their Sugar tour. I remember it being a great show, so I was really excited to catch them at Snoqualmie Casino during their 2009 Summer tour. They put on a no-nonsense rock show from start to finish! The band's sound was tight as they played through their catalog of greatest hits. Emerson Hart and the rest of the band treated the anxious crowd with a one song teaser from their upcoming album. The new song rocked! Hopefully a glimpse of more great stuff from Tonic! The band finished their encore with an awesome rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way! Feeling extremely fortunate to have caught them live at such an intimate setting!

This was a great show, and it was good to see the guys back at it again. The band was tight and they rocked hard. Lots of fun.

TONIC ROCKED LAST NIGHT! The band sounded tight, guitar tone was beautiful, Emerson's vocals spot on - and the crowd was into it! The show just had an amazing vibe and energy. I enjoyed this concert more than any I've been to in at least the last five years. Didn't want it to end!
