Machine Head

The show was great but just a little to long. They should have had a couple of openers to begin the night. The sound was amazing as usual for the Fox Theatre. Machine Head again delivered but they could do without the instigation of sorts when listening to their music on how to listen and get into their music. If your music is great then there will be an outcome without the dictation. In all , the show delivered they just need a couple of other acts to open up as to not get to monotonous with their style of music.

Machine Head was one of the best concerts I've been to in years. Even though Rob was getting over a terrible illness, causing major vocal problems, he sounded incredible! They totally kicked ass. Definitely going to see them again!!!

Second time seeing them and the show was unforgettable!! Great energy and great venu

Opening bands were so-so, machine head put on an excellent set as they always do, despite some bass gear issues this time around. But once they got the bass back, it was icing on the cake.

Machine Head was the best band I've seen in years. All super cool guys, got pic with all of them and autographes.

What a great show - this was our first show for my 13 year old son and I - we will be back every time they come to Houston again!!!

This show was so amazing they played everything you wanted to hear and they did it the right way. An entire night from the only band I wanted to see.. Amazing Rob Flynn and the boys put on an amazing show. This won't work for every band but machine head pulls it off being the only band .

Amazing venue, impeccable sound and superb performance by Machine Head!

What a great show! I really enjoyed it. It was my first time seeing them live and I hope to see them again!

This venue attracts big name bands while providing an intimate setting because it is a smaller venue. I have attended quite a few shows here but this is by far the best show I have ever attended anywhere! Machine Head played over a two hour set without any breaks!

I've been to over 15 concerts, especially metal ones and this was a fantastic show even given the small intimate venue (which made it even better) - fantastic set list, they were a joy and they even gave away items from the band it was amazing

From beginning to end, a true masterpiece of a show. Intimate venue, a passionate crowd and mayhem on and off the stage. Never, ever, ever miss Machine Head.

Machine Head is unforgettable and I'm never disappointed when seeing these guys! I'll definitely support and see them again! The sound of the show was perfect and the band is tight when playing together!

I have been to hundreds of shows and would say this is the second best show of all times (second to '98 tool at ozzfest) I was absolutely blown away from Start to finish 2.5 hour show, the energy they had was 150%. Just amazing talented musicians and every song came from their heart!!! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS SHOW!!!

Awesome!! 2.5 hrs of Machine Heads best songs plus a couple of covers.

OMG, what an awesome show!!! It was my first time seeing Machine Head and the concert was GREAT!!!!! I can't wait to see them again!!!!

They absolutely slayed all night. 2 and half hour set. Can't beat that!

Awesome show start to finish, Machinehead sounded dead on, flawless show

Saw the "An Evening with Machine Head" tour back in January in NYC and was absolutely blown away. I couldn't miss the third leg of this tour now that it was back in the states. These guys play their hearts out, are insanely talented musicians, and are beyond devoted to their fans. One of the top two or three shows I've now had the pleasure of seeing twice this year if not the best.

The Stone Pony was sold out and you could not move anywhere. The great thing about this was everyone was there just to see Machine Head. There are no weak opening acts that bring in a different crowd. This was 150 minutes of pure Machine Head and my ears are still ringing 2 days later. There was not enough room for a circle pit so Rob called it a 'Rectangle Pit'. The Rectangle Pit started at 9:PM and ended at 11:30 PM. If you are a Machine Head fan, I highly recommend that you get to An Evening of Machine Head because you will not be disappointed.

These guys NEVER disappoint live! They feed off of the crowds' energy and just keep the place going crazier and crazier! GO. SEE. THEM. LIVE.

An Evening with Machine Head is exactly that. 2 1/2 hours straight of the best of Machine Head, with no opening act. They started great and just got progressively better as the night went on, performing songs from their entire career. After 22 years, MH are as fine tuned an act as you'll find anywhere. For people who are of the opinion that metal is not real music, I would play these guys for them as Exhibit A and say "Oh yeah? Well listen to this." As far as the Paramount, it's one of the best places to see a concert I've ever been to. I've been there before and sat in the Loge to the side of the stage both times. It's a great view, plus you have waitress service. And, what's most important in any venue, especially for metal -- the sound is phenomenal! REALLY Loud! And very clear. Now THAT'S a concert! Go there. Support Metal. Support Machine Head! Horns!

Machine Head was impressive, their sound was clear, and they played a long enough set to satisfy any metal head. A great performance, and the crowd seemed to enjoy it.

This was hands down the most metal show that I've ever attended. As a relatively new MH fan, I was impressed by their full catalog of songs and how they covered all their old time hits as well as the new album. Definitely in my top 5 shows of all time!

2 1/2 hours of machinehead was amazing! Would buy tickets again in an instant. They kept the crowd into the show all the way till the end. Highly recommended. Real metal!

Awesome show. Would see machine head any time! Come back soon!

We absolutely loved seeing Machine Head! So glad they are doing this tour, we came from Cincinnati to see them. They played for almost three hours songs from all albums, incredible! However we would NOT recommend using that venue, pillars block the view and beer is WAY too expensive.

Great show! Awesome set list. Really cool venue. The meet & greet was cool too. Great guys. Couldn't have been nicer.

The band is tight and make good use of the time spent with them. However, the venue's sound system is something to be desired.....the speaker for the singer's vocal was cracked and distorted, which was distracting the entire evening!

The show was promoted as one that would feature some older and deep cuts, but the set list was pretty standard, same stuff they always play. Being the show was "an evening with" and those in attendance are "hardcore" Machine Head fans... I expected a better set list.

Show was great, just kind of wish this was more of an anniversary or legacy set with a few more songs. You got a career spanning set highlighted by their new album. It was great to hear the band flawlessly rip through the set and even better that they now have a bass player that wants to be there and can hit the high notes vocally.

Just an awesome time overall. Love the fact that it was just machine head. The music was amazing. Best time ever. Most def will see them again. Love the whole band and how they make music come to life. Peace and love

Packed house at Irving Plaza NYC! Machine Head played new & old songs & sounded great!

BEST. SHOW. EVER. BEST. SHOW. EVER.BEST. SHOW. EVERBEST. SHOW. EVERBEST. SHOW. EVERBEST. SHOW. EVER.

Best show I have been to in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a great show and performance.Engery crazy.

I've seen them for over 20 years now and I am still blown away. They always put on a great show and play their hearts out. An evening with Machine Head is the greatest night for me. Over two and a half hours of just Machine Head!

You will enjoy this show, since is over 2 hours long and the band played around 22 songs in total, from the old albums to the latest album, a very good mix of song, also it was nice to see the band played a long set, since normally they play festivals slot of 40 minutes 50 tops and they can only played at most like 6 songs.

The show was simply great, energetic, and rob was one strong front man helping to keep tree audience engaged in all phases of the show.

What can be said other than a 2.5 hour Amazingly Awesome show of nothing but Machine Head. Songs from the 1st disc to the current disc were played. Multiple opening entrance themes were performed from past tours after the guys took a few couple minute breaks for them to get a drink I would guess. The entire show rocked from beginning to end, with the crowd getting more tired as the show went on as we got quiet during the short breaks.

Machine Head never disappoints. Venue was perfect for this concert. 3 hours of the best of the best.

This was my first time seeing Machine Head, and they lived up to every inch of the hype I'd heard about their live show! They had no opening act and played for a solid two and a half hours. The sound quality was spot on. Loud, but not obnoxious. Very clear and balanced. Robb Flynn does an amazing job including the crowd into the show. My wife and i also did the meet and greet. The guys were great, and we got a decent amount of time to mingle with them and get individual photos. Super nice guys! An Evening with machine Head will certainly be an evening I'll never forget.

From start to beginning, it was obvious that each musician put their heart into the music. They engaged their audience and provided every metalhead there a night to remember. Rob Flynn set an excellent vibe and rocked out for 2.5 hours of pure American Heavy Metal. For every metalhead out there, regardless your taste, they are a band worth seeing.

The venue was amazing, very intimate. The band, in top form. The croud, crazy energetic. The perfect mix for a perfect evening.

I wasn't 100% in love with the song-list. There was one or 2 others from Burn My Eyes that could've been thrown in, but the best aspect to start with was Battlecross, Children of Bodom, and Epica {though I did want to hear/see them} leaving the original tour when M.H. wanted to perfect the new album more, which caused the band to perform alone on this tour. One night of just Machinehead was great! I once got a ticket for Megadeth, Machinehead, and Heaven & Hell {Ronnie J. Dio with an Ozzie-less Black Sabbath} and it was just to see Machinehead and M.H. did 5-7 rushed songs {I even missed 1 1/2 when I arrived} Megadeth {my favorite band} did 7-9 in a medley, and I didn't care about H&H who were on for 2 hours & 10 min. {when I just wanted to go home but took a friend who went for them} This made up for that. I saw an electric chair prop for pictures on Facebook from a Maryland date. It wasn't there when I went though. Even if it was, it was sold out in NYC when I went and the line for it to take pictures on would've been un-real, and they security got us out fast, so it would've also been difficult to do pictures on it afterwards. Security was excellent. The only complaint was that they did rush us out and a girl left her newly purchases beanie and she saw them pick it up off the floor as she left it in there and she screamed for it and they wouldn't open back up to give it to her. Maybe they didn't hear her, but it was also 15 degrees out. Merch. was pricey, and arena-priced {but if you wait until the holidays, or post-tour, it goes down a lot}. $30/T-shirt, $50/hoodie, $20/beanie. $60 for a flag/banner I think too. The group bow did it for me. So few do a group bow. Only the pros & vet acts do, and they did, and it was nice. They also did a group shot and the front row where I was served as the backdrop. The only small negative, if you own a live album, the thrown-in emotion and commentary by Rob is a bit what you expect, and you know what he'll say, but otherwise, it was excellent. GREAT crowd. I was shocked how everyone was so chill. Zero violence. Everyone was VERY happy to be there. Excellent time!

Had been waiting to see them again since Mayhem Fest 2013. They had the crowd in a frenzy for about 3 hours. I couldn't believe that they and the crowd had anything left but everyone just kept hammering it . Been going to Shows for 35 years and it will take awhile to get over this one. They might just be the Baddest Asses on the Planet.

Whether you are seeing them for the 1st time or like me, for about the 7th, Machine Head will never let you down. Must see.

Machine Head knows how to put on a solid show. Always fun to see.

MACHINE HEAD did an amazing show. I highly suggest you see Machine Head if you get the chance. The lead singer is great with the crowd, he talked to us & made us feel good about being fans. Adam Duce(bassist) kept making eye contact with me & smiling. He personally gave me his guitar pick. I like a band that can connect with their fans, even if only for a short moment The Darketst Hour, opening band, did extremely well. Ive never heard of them before this concert. They definitely have potential. Suicide Silence, ehhh not very impressed. Yes they can put on a good show, I just don't like the screaming the whole time! Literally every song, straight screaming, it was a femiinine scream too.

Best time ever at a Concert. So much fun. :) they rocked

Between the venue and music the band was just awesome

Always a hell of a show when they are in their hometown. Sounds was great as I am used to at the Fox. Machine Head played an awesome 3 hour set. Couldn't ask for anything more. Killer show.

violent and rough. And yet those are the reasons it was so amazing. 25 tracks of machine head is just magical to me. I can't wait for their next show. \\m/

Three hours of the amazing Rob, Jared, Phil and Dave! How the hell can Dave play drums like that for that long? Somebody buy that guy a pizza! Jared the high energy master of the bass whipped out the six pack ab's about halfway through the show. He looks like he could use a pizza too. Phil shredded flawlessly all night long, singing with the crowd of hardcore fans in the front who knew every word of every song. Ringmaster Robb held the crowd in the palm of his hand , working all night long to please and energise everyone like the master showman he is. I need to get some more of this!

Machine Head is OUTSTANDING!!! It was a FLAWLESS EPIC SHOW!

They played for 3 hours! 25 songs. Very lively crowd.

This is my 3rd time seeing 'An Evening With Machine Head' and it was great. There are no opening acts. Just 2 hours and 45 minutes of Machine Head. The mosh pit started before the first song and ended almost 3 hours later. If you like Machine Head,this is the show you want to see. New songs,old songs,classic songs and just a lot of intense music.

Machine Head absolutely crushed the sold-out Paradise Rock Club! The sound was awesome, the song selection was great, and the guys played like it was the last show they'd ever be doing. Just a blistering performance! Thankfully, there were no opening bands, so we were treated to more than two and a half hours of pure Machine Head. If you're a fan of their music, you have to see them live. They're easily one of the best live bands in the metal scene today.

Machine Head at The Paradise Rock Club was unbelievable.

Center Stage is a fantastic venue and I'm so impressed all around! From start to finish, it was a great experience. Machine Head peeled my face back with their epic metal, stage presence and audience connection. I can't express how much I enjoyed this show! This was my first time seeing them live. It WILL NOT be my last!

I have been a Machine Head fan for years - ever since I 1st heard them in 1995. I have seen hundreds of bands in concert, but this was the 1st time I've ever left a concert early. After about 45 minutes into their set I decided I'd rather go home than stay and finish it out. Part of the problem was the venue itself. 1/3 of the crowd couldn't even see the stage because of the way the building is set up. They also oversold tickets so it was beyond crowded - everyone was so smashed together you couldnt even form a pit. And the sound from the band just wasn't very good. On their albums Machine Head is pretty brutal and can mix in some nice melodies but in a live show the vocalist simply can't hit the notes the way they do on their albums. Over all, very disappointing and I'm probably not going to go out of my way to see them in concert again.

From the start it is clear that these pros are all about the fans. Choosing small venues and touring alone is the start. Constant mutual appreciation between the band and crowd made me feel like I was at an invite only show. The camaraderie in the room was measurable. Highly recommend Machine Head and Center Stage.

You will not be disappointed!!! Machine Head played for 3+ hours!!

Awesome show. Three hours of straight entertainment and Robb made sure to keep the crowd alive and going.

Machine Head put on a great show if you enjoy their new music. I was disappointed that they played only 2 songs from their early albums during the first 2.5 hours. They played a long show but their early music was not the focus.

Amazing mosh pit! The only problem was that Suicide Silence's mic was a bit low. Overall, the show was awesome!

One of the best live bands around today. Machine Head is always a MUST see.

I like the backgorund screens and lighting Machine Head used. Most important is they played a great set and sounded real well. Maybe once the bass was a little too loud. They covered songs from every album whic has a fan you want them to go back to the old hits. I will be seeing them again.

They deliver every time!!!! It's really amazing how well they perform live, I can't wait to see them again. Best Buy Theater was cool. Crowd was off the hook.

So I admit I'm not a big Machinehead fan, and the only reason why I went to this show is because of my boyfriend (and also because Suicide Silence was performing too lol). However these guys are hella good live! I found myself really getting into the music and I liked the message that these guys were promoting. If they were to come to NYC I'd definitely pay to see them again.

The shows was great. The lighting was awesome...because the bacground were like little movies as the band played. The sound was the best part. Not too loud. Not too low. The band demanded alot of energy and they put on a hell of a show.

Proper headline show. Ran full two hours with no filler songs and brought the energy the whole time. One of my top 5 favorite shows of all time.

This show was kicka$$!!! Machine Head put on a fantastic performance that any fan of Metal would have enjoyed. I can't wait until they come back to the 'burgh! I'll be first in line to get my tickets.

Didnt need the first 2 bands, all that was needed was Machine Head. They played an amazing 2 hour show with a span of songs from every one of there cds. They kept the energy up and never let us go. Cant wait till the next time i see them.

I had such an amazing time at this show! Machine head was great!!! This was the fist time u was ever in stage ae on the inside. I loved it! Great venue and great band!

Machine Head played full force for almost 2 hours straight. Great sound, high energy, and excellent set list!

These guys just know how to tear it up. "Who We Are" was great.

Having seen MH play as a support act several times before I was excited to finally see them as the headliner on their own tour. They did not disappoint. From the opening intro of "I AM HELL" to the final note of "Davidian" this was a spectacular show. Machine Head played for almost two hours hitting on a setlist that was incredible. Sure there's always a few songs you wished they would have played but the focus on the new album, which is amazing, is not a bad thing. Make no mistake this is a full on heavy metal experience but its great to see a band that can actually bring melody and harmony to their vocals (not just scream indecipherably for song after song) as well as change tempo and mood so adeptly during the course of each epic offering from their entire career. I can't wait to catch these guys again the next time they come anywhere near Chicago.

when cua a few friends were into them, was blown out of the water by the tight performance.

WOW...I have been to a few metal concerts in my time, and I will tell you that this was BY FAR one of the BEST..Machine Head performed at Portland's State Theater, giving the audience an intimate setting. No matter where you sat, you could see them easily..This show did not disappoint us at all..And Robb Flynn played his new signature Love/Death Baritone..what a sight!

They tore the place down! Incredible!! They played the 300 seat place like it was wembley!!! We left speechless!

Amazing show all around, loved the venue, was my first time there, and the crowd was perfect. The sound in general was nice, could actually understand the singers when they were just chit chatting. The only thing I couldn't stand was the little scene girls in front of me squealing like they were at a Beiber concert when Suicide Silence came on.

All I can say is WOW! I last saw this band in 1999 and I have not seen any other band progress into an unstoppable machine like they have. The Newport is notorious for having a bad sound, but Machine Head absolutely DOMINATED! The only way to see this band is a smaller indoor club such as Newport because you need to be close to the stage in order to see these gods of metal tear up the stage.

These guys nailed it. From start to finish, from Old to Unto the Locust, everything was right on. They were like machines in their execution but it had the unmistakable energy of a live performance.

Top notch as always. These guys always deliver superior music, great message, and brutal live show. Very nice to see a headlining show again. It's been since Through the Ashes tour in '05 so we were ready.

Got to the club at 8pm, and Suicide Silence had just started. Missed Darkest Hour :o( who I wanted to see. So the show must have started at 7 instead of 7:30. I thought it was 7:30. But props to The Newport for keeping things on schedule. Machine Head were great...not only in performance and energy, but their light show was incredible. Props to their lighting designer, and lighting engineer. Overall, their mix was fantastic. But as a drummer myself, I was very upset that Dave McClain's snare was buried deep into the mix. He's a hard hitter and even then, it wasn't cutting through. I thought maybe it was the frequency of where I was standing for most of the set (on the side), so I moved to the back for the last 5 or so songs, just in front of the soundboard, and it was only about 5% better. I expect more from MH's soundman. He should know the most important drum to hear on a drum kit is the snare. If anything should NOT be buried in the mix, it should be the snare. So that was my only issue. Other than that......killer. Dave killed it as expected.

Show was awesome. Darkest Hour was sketchy to me, Suicide Silence was good for what they are, but Machine Head killed the show. Performance was amazing, Robb was on, guitar work was killer. Definitely the best House of Blues show I have EVER been too!

The show was great. Almost no waiting time. The crews were quick setting up and the bands played great. It did get pretty crowded towards the end and the alcohol always causes problems but its a metal concert so it is to be expected.

A jam packed House Of Blues exploded with energy as Machine Head took the stage opening with "I Am Hell" from their new album, ' Unto The Locust'. Heavy, aggressive and even a melodic classical guitar moment....which is all things Machine Head. Front man/guitarist Robb Flynn had the diehard crowd in the palm of his hand, yet the band seemed to feed off the crowd's intensity. Playing 6 of the 7 songs from the new album proved Machine Head is not some retro act that lives in the past because they have run out of inspiration. But they do celebrate past albums for the fans that have been there from the beginning. Their video and lighting show was the biggest of their career that added to the music. From Dave McClain's monsterous drums to Adam Duce's thick bass tone to Phil Demmel's soaring guitar solos, you realize you're not just watching another band. You are part of a celebration of METAL!!!

The Machine Head show was great, they played a lot of good songs and they communicated with the crowd a lot which is always cool. Suicide Silence totally blew, but Darkest Hour put on a great show too. Overall the show was awesome.

as for the show itself it was great the sound levels were awesome my ears weren't bleeding by the end of the show the croud was intense to say the least. The problem I have is with the venue everything is completely overpirced $5 for a coat check and $11 for a beer you have to be kidding me. And what the hell is with starting the show at 4:30 ???????

The bands that played before Machine Head were ok. Machine Head was the best. Great performance.

This concert by my favorite band Machinehead was the best concert i have seen in my life. They were unbelievable.

Great performance as always. Could of been louder for sure

Machine head played an amazIng set that showcased thier current album while still celebrating some of their older material

From beginning to end, non stop head banging that even a Chiropractor could not fix. 2 hours of Machine Head with no opening act. Sold out show and 1 continuous mosh pit . I highly recommend it.

When Machine head comes your way....go see them. There energy on stage and the way the crowd is worked is amazing. Keep metal alive.

Set was phenomenal. 2 and a half hours of Machine Head just killing the crowd. Wish they could play that long every show.

The show was great, sound system was very good. Machine Head puts on a very professional act. I like the fact that there weren't 2 or 3 opening bands and the show didn't last past midnight. Drink prices at The New Orleans House of Blues are OUTRAGEOUS! I generally wait and drink elsewhere.

As usual, solid performance. These guys have been tearing it up for 20 years!!!
