Agent Orange / Guttermouth

Being totally honest here...I went to see the opening act, Ruby The Hatchet (who was awesome, by the way). But I had heard a lot of hype around the band Black Mountain and was really looking forward to seeing them, not really sure what I was in for. So, first off, the guitarist is amazing and in some ways is kind of the centerpiece of the band. Really playing some amazing lines and riffs, but then you hear the vocals and the keyboards all intertwining and you can hear that the whole is far bigger than the sum of its parts when it comes to Black Mountain. Word of warning though, I was right up front at the start of the show and had to move back (which I never do) because that guitar sound is so right in your face. So, if you're planning on standing at the rail, you might want to bring some ear plugs. LOL.

The show was absolutely wonderful. Balcony seats still allowed for a wonderful view of stage and performers. Music was well balanced without being overwhelmingly base. My young concert-goers had an excellent time and found the facility be accommodating, especially to my oldest son's mild autism needs. Overall a fantastic time was had by all.

I enjoyed all of the comedians except Sheri Sheppard I felt like her performance was way to PG-13 and not the correct audience! This was the Soul Train music awards show which the audience was predominantly blacks, she talked so much about her husband that it was unbearable at one time people were just talking to entertain themselves. Very disappointed that she didn't deliver a better performance, this was my first time seeing her and I must say I would not pay to see her if she was headlining. The two host Bill Bellamy and Anthony Anderson were great and both George Wallace and George Willborn were on point, Gary Owens was really funny as always and Lil Rel he was absolutely insane had never seen him before but he is worth seeing. EARTHQUAKE brought it home! Can't wait to see it on Centric to hear some of the jokes I may have missed because I was laughing so hard.. The venue was nice as well at Planet Hollywood.

The show was a little cheaply produced. No backdrops or monitors. If you sat in the balcony you would've been very disappointed. Each performer did his thing. George Wallace lost the crowd a few times, but you know how Oakland can get with clean comedy. By being on the front row, I did get to be a part of the show. Speedy referred to me as "Blade", because of my leather coat. I even received a free sweater because of it. The free party favors upon entry was a nice touch.

It was a great night of comedy. I enjoyed the female comic! Would love to see more females (possibly a mom's night out!?!?) in the line up!

Thoroughly enjoyed the performance from start to finish. Was a play, concert, comedy show - and educational. Would see it again.

I waited 30 years for this concert and it was worth the wait! He was awesome! I cried listening to all his songs.

It was awesome to see Five Iron Frenzy back together. Same incredible energy, love hearing the songs I grew up to, as well as their new stuff. The new stuff keeps pushing the envelope and I'm excited to hear more. Awesome show!!!

Totaly Awesome...just wish Rick was there...hope he's feeling better! :) Merry Christmas everyone, Merry Christmas...YEA!!!

We saw Choo Choo Soul with the Movers. They put on an awesome show. We adored them and are hoping to see them again soon! They can both dance very well & I loved the interaction with the kids and parents in the audience. At the after party they took the time to take pictures with the kids and families and really spent a great amount of time talking and just hanging out. I loved this. My 2 year old has the biggest crush on Genevieve & decided he had to give her his little red ball as a gift. She was so sweet to him. I loved them for that! They are both amazingly weet, nice people! Can't wait to see them again soon!
