Damien Rice

Damien Rice is still one of the most talented singer/songwriter/musicians today. For a man whose lyrics reflect his attempts to work out his life issues, none can compare to the sheer poetry of Rice. His soulful delivery harkens back to his Irish roots and his poetic skill rife with similes metaphors imagery and allusions, compares to Ireland's darling, Robert Burns, who himself was no stranger to problems in the love department as both have lyrics that reflect a strong and heartfelt passion, but both also were not without their difficulties. Rice makes us feel and think, something that is missing from much of the current pop music available. Rice is a master performer who takes us on a journey and reveals his heart and lays it bare for all the world to see. Rices' natural charm and self deprecating humor and masterful delivery are highlighted by his playing four different instruments and incorporating a light show. I was mesmerized and sood in awe at Rice's musical and lyrical mastery. A great show from a great artist.

What an excellent show. It was so much more than just a man and a guitar. Even though that would have been great, he filled the venue with music. Using looping and multiple instruments, he left me amazed.

He captivated an audience for two hours by being himself.

I have a fan of Damien for so long! I saw glen Hansard a while back and was wondering where Damien was! I am so excited that he is coming to LA!!!

This was a great show, chill, relaxing, exciting, sad, and funny. I brought a non fan and she now says it was one of the best shows she has been to. Musically stunning and just an overall good vibe. Cant wait for a return visit.

This was an amazing show!!! I hope he comes back again soon!! It's been way too long.

I went to his concert because of his voice -- his "i want to kill myself" and "it hurts so bad" voice. I loved his albums, and was excited to hear him live. But what stole the show, besides his monster voice, was his performance. He put on such a great show -- it was entertaining, emotional, and the last song (he played 10+ instruments and used a looping machine) was spectacular.

If you're a fan of Damien Rice then seeing him in concert live is unforgettable. I have never seen an artist put their heart and soul in display in such an intense yet eloquent way. He is a must see.

I waited a long time to see Damien Rice and he didn't disappoint. Powerful and moving. Incredible

So far the best concert I have ever gone to. The only regret wad not having somewhere to sit. Packed in like sardines . I would have loved to see him in a bigger venue. He is an amazing performer. When he came out for the encode tears poured from my face.

Fantastic performance. It was everything I wished for and sooooo much more. What a freaking fabulous performance!

I've been a Damien Rice fan since his songs appeared in the movie Closer. When he announced a new album I was borderline schizophrenic in anticipation. I've never been disappointed with any project he's done, and his live performance was the best I've seen. I didn't think he was coming to Pgh and nearly bought tickets to his Nashville show - it definitely would have been worth the drive, but I'm thankful he was here in my hometown instead.

Exemplary venue with views galore of the stage. Excellent privledges to the concert goers: bring your lawn chairs blankets and picnic suppers. Performance was exceptionally energetic as a one man show. We ate drank and danced to the slow songs and enjoyed the whole of the crowd.

Damien Rice was awesome as usual he was a one musical wonder. I did miss Lisa!!!!!

The concert was amazing, actually it was beyond expectation. Once the music is so peaceful and touching i thought it would be a quite concert, but Damien alone puts up a amazing show. Recommended for music lovers like me, but that´s a concert i won't attend again because he was extremelly rude. Refuse to take photos when i saw him outside saying he «doesn´t do photos» and in the concert he practically forbides the people to take pictures or whatever. I understand, obviously we are there for the music, but i mean: you wait so many years to meet him in concert, you spent money in a ticket and travel far so that he pretends like he is almighty and you can´t have not even a photo. I mean...the music is amazing, the concert totally recommended, it´s just the superstar ego that make me write this review. After all: it's the fans who put him where he is.

Best concert I've ever been too and I've been to many concerts. Damien Rice was mind blowing, the venue was beautiful, and the staff and audience were so kind.

Everything was great! They were cheap on the food portions but that's to be expected with concerts and what not. For what you paid it was really good. Damien was unbelievable!!

The best concert ever... Great artist and awesome place... It was definitely an experience...

The Damien Rice concert in Prospect Park, Brooklyn was a magical & delightful evening & experience! Everything from the acoustics to the weather positively enhanced such a wonderful & joyful concert! Every single Damien Rice concert that I have seen so far has been stellar! Overall this concert was all things positive except one thing negative which was that the venue end time is 10:30 pm! Damien did his best to play to the very last second which was extremely funny & i was in total agreement with him & his message that he was not cool with the curfew time as well!

Damien Rice's performance was absolutely incredible! He commands attention, humbly, and gets it! When he came out on stage, the entire audience was quiet, rare for an outdoor event. I love how he interacts with fans. You will never see the same show twice with Damien, he always changes up his set list & he just keeps getting better and better! Great lyricist, talented musician.

I have been a long time fan of Damien Rice since he was first introduced to me on KCRW. I have followed his career ever since. However, this was my first opportunity to see him perform live. And he was even better than I expected! His musical performance was top-notch. He played a lot of the songs from his latest cd. And he played some of this older songs as well. In particular, his solo performance of 9 Lives was spectacular! (look for it on youtube). Perhaps even more remarkable and a little surprising to me is that Damien was very interactive with the audience and quite funny! This was the opening night of the Greek Theater (which is my favorite venue - thank you Nederlander). It was a little chilly - even Damien admitted he was cold. But it was a most memorable evening. I am thrilled that I had a chance to attend and I will not think twice about seeing him again. Damien is a very important musical artist and should not be missed.

The Damien Rice concert was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. The sound was incredible. The engineers and everyone who makes that possible deserve major kudos. I hadn't been back to The Greek since the last Damien Rice concert some eight years ago. I had forgotten what a special place it is. It is really lovely. The performance itself was unforgettable. I can't think of anything that could have made it better...unless it could last into the wee hours of the night ;-)

Hands down the best concert I have ever been to! Damien Rice was enchanting with not only his beautiful music but also his playful storytelling to the audience. He had me captivated from the second he stepped on the stage and continued to surprise and enthuse us all throughout the entire evening.

It's all about the music and the musician. We know how good that is. But when Damien walked out in a scruffy tee shirt, I knew we would have a remarkable evening, a "here we all are together, let's have a good time" event. He sang everything I could have wanted and told personal stories to go along with the songs. It was intimate and personal and universal just like his music, and fun and funny and Irish charming. The evening was freezing, he was ready to quit, but some thoughtful audience person threw a huge jacket on stage for him, and he carried on. The audience was loud and appreciative from the start and his fans had a unique and enchanting time. And we know how good the music is. He has been my number one artist for years.

Damien Rice played and talked about his songs for over 2 hours. He was a bit naughty and completely hilarious! He played a variety of old and new songs-he sounded amazing.

This was an excellent performance in a great venue. If you have a chance to attend one of his later dates, you should make it a priority. Also if you've never been to the Greek, this is a great venue for concerts. Great size, great surroundings, great sound. Oh! and wine.

I came up from Las Vegas to see Damien & was not disappointed one minute. He came out, just him and his guitar and he was amazing. His music live was even better than recorded. Not too many artists like that! It was very raw, deep and full of emotion. He was an INCREDIBLE guitarist and surprisingly witty. He told the story of most of the songs and talked about his life in Ireland. I took a very manly guy and despite my hesitance of how he'd like it (I thought it would be too chick/love song-ish), he might've loved it even more than me! He talked about it the entire weekend & is a huge fan now! I would see him over & over again. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. This is one of my favorite venues & the night was magical!

There are no words to describe the amazing evening of music presented by Damien Rice. Just no words. It was well worth waiting 10 years from the last time I saw him live.

Nothing like the confessions of a tortured Irishman to warm the night air at such a wondrous, intimate venue with his guitar and endearing story-telling. His use of the 'F' word was often and well-placed. I would come back again, and again, and again...

While there have been many artists I think are great and whom I've admired, I've rarely considered myself a fan. Damien Rice was one of those artists I've appreciated for years, but seeing him live has practically turned me into a stereotypical fan girl. He is not only a brilliant singer/songwriter, he is a performer capable of doing what very few can do - making an intimate connection with every member of his audience. I'll never again pass up an opportunity to see him live!

Damien Rice was brilliant! It was a cold night in Hollywood, but he didn't let the cold stand in his way of giving a humorous, heartfelt and energetic performance.

I really enjoy how authentic Damien Rice is as a musician and as a person. I don't feel like I'm getting something that is staged or commercialized. His performance always feels very intimate and raw. These days, it's hard to find an artist like him and I'd gladly see him again and again because he is SO GOOD live!

This concert was wonderful in so many ways. Damien is a great storyteller and his interaction with the fans was hilarious. the music was so satisfying and well performed.

I have seen Damien Rice at least 2-3 times in the past and all his concerts are awesome but this one the best way I can describe it was raw and intimate. At first I was surprised he didn't have a back up band, but it turns out he doesn't really need one. It was like he was naked on stage by himself and intimate because of his conversations between his songs. Concert was magical.

So talented and such a great venue. Could not have had a better night.

Just epic. I've been to three Damien Rice shows in this tour and this one was far and away the most amazing. Damien brought his very best and blew us all away! He had the audience completely captivated from start to finish. I've been a big fan for years and I honestly can honestly say that he exceeded my expectations and this was the best concert I've attended in my 49 years.

Everything about Damien's performance was perfect. Mix of old and new, getting the audience involved on a song or two, funny and personable throughout. His voice cannot be beat and is going strong. It was a great night!! His performance was so perfect, I zipped over to Philly for the show the next day. Highly, highly recommended!

This was by-far one of the best concerts that I have ever attended (and I have seen hundreds of incredible shows)....The venue was something out of a dream, like a castle with 70 foot high ceilings, and beautiful chandeliers; at one point Damien asked to have all of the lights off while he sang the hauntingly beautiful "Cold Water" = INCREDIBLE.

Just go see it. It is amazing to hear and see his raw talent. The dynamics of the show from the whispered lines to the deafening loops took me on an emotional roller coaster. From old favorites to new songs, each tune feels personal and real. Stage presence is confident but not cocky, witty but not wacky. There were moments where we all laughed and cheered and there were moments where there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Had the pleasure of spending a little time with him after the show and he seemed to be a really cool, humble guy. Fantastic show. I don't believe anyone in the audience was disappointed.

Damien was on fire that night!!! He sings so beautifully and is so beautiful himself!! I have never seen such an amazing performance especially from just one man!! He exceeded all my expectations!!

This was the first time I've seen Damien live and I can profess without hesitation that he is one of the most talented singer/songwriter/musian/artists I have ever seen. The performance was flawless. You could feel the emotion in every note, it was palpable! I was amazed at how, even with a full house of people, it could feel like such an intimate performance. He made it feel like he and a group of your closest friends were invited to a private show. The crowd participation was another impressive aspect of his commanding performance. His music touched my wife and I in the infancy of our relationship, and this was a birthday gift to her. We had an unforgettable night!

Great show! Damien played most of his hits. Had the audience engaged! If you are a Damien rice fan, you must see him live!!

My Bubba was a great opening act, and then Damien Rice was amazing! He sang for almost 2 hours and had a 3 song encore. Civic theater is the perfect size, I'm always happy with the concerts there!

I went to Damien's concert on August 13, 2015 in Austin, Texas. The concert was sold out. This was my first concert ever and who else to see on my first concert other then Damien Rice himself. I was surprise to see so many fans as I thought I was the only one that love him. Damien Rice had me in Awe! Simply Breathtaking throughout the whole concert. I Love his music, style and talent. Damien Rice put on a Great Show for all the people in Austin, Texas. All I could say is Thank you so much Damien!!! You are the best and my favorite Artist.

This was my first time to see Damien Rice perform. I wasn't sure what to expect, or how his music would translate to a live performance. Well, it exceeded my wildest expectations! He was amazing! For a one-person show, it was filled with energy, passion and sound engineering that was incredible. I found it mesmerizing. If he was performing again the next night, I would have returned to see it again!

Damien Rice is an incredibly great performer. He writes great songs, he is an extremely talented guitar player as well as the other instruments he plays, and his vocals are amazing. I highly recommend catching his live performances if you get a chance. Unfortunately you may have to wait awhile since this was the last concert of his U.S. tour.

It was wonderful, except for the boorish crowd behavior (why do so many fans have to yelp out and shout at the musician--as if he does not have a plan?) But Rice's music was extraordinary, and he being acoustic and unaccompanied for most of the concert was a treat, quite unexpected... It was too bad this was his final concert tour, and he should come to the States more often. But nexttime, start before 10:00 pm and do not have such a weak opening act.

This venue is just terrible. After years and years of disappointments, I am done going there. The seats are tiny and way too close together. My second row seat was awful, I had to turn my head nearly 90 degrees just to see the music. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Looking forward all I saw was a black curtain. And I was seat 7, not far from the aisle. It was ridiculous.

Quite simply: beautiful. Beautiful songs, sincere passion, and some humor. A man with a guitar making sounds ranging from acoustic and fragile to loud and looped and raging. Damien Rice poured out his soul on stage and was a quiet gentleman with his fans after the show. What music and performance should be.

Venue was horrible for the "intimate" setting he was trying to achieve with just him and his guitar. He played extremely quiet and it was hard to hear in the very back, which is where general admission was because of the seats he had reserved in the front. But he sounds just like his albums and hardly ever tours so I would recommend a fan go see him if possible.

So, I'm in my early thirties and have not been to a concert since I saw Raffi at the SMU campus when I was, like, 5. I don't like big groups of people (or usually just people in general) but I've been a fan for the past 10 Years or so and decided to step outside of my comfort zone. I bought these tickets the day they went on sale and have had anxiety for the past several months over the thought of having to go stand around in a large group of strangers. But, I did it. And it was one of the best nights of my life. I was so captivated by Mr. Rice's talent and showmanship that I could ignore my discomfort of being surrounded by people I didn't know and just be there. In a room with him and the music. And the whole thing was an almost religious experience. I loved it. The concert was amazing. Mr. Rice was amazing. The experience was amazing. Would gladly brave another incredibly uncomfortable situation again to experience it.

Amazing is all I can say. I'm so happy after all these years I finally got to see Damien Rice perform. I would of gave it 6 stars but the show wasn't long enough and he didn't perform 3 songs that I was looking forward to hearing. The venue is amazing. Laid back and relax feel. Not expensive at all. We'll worth it.

Aside from the juvenile folks next to us who insisted on stage whispering "SHHHHH" at other grown ass adults, this show was a total smash. Mr Rice is truly one of the most talented musicians I've had the pleasure of seeing in person and I can not wait to see him again. Mercilessly made love to our ears and our brains, and I'm sure that everyone left feeling lighter in spirit after the shared experience. Much love to you Mr Rice...and I send kudos to those manning the sound table because it sounded like heaven.

While Damien Rice has been my favorite musician for quite some time, this was my first time seeing him live. I would have been estatic just for him to sing two songs while strumming a guitar, but this show just blew me away. He did open with two acoustic and beauitulf renditions of delicate and cannonball, but his third song brought the use of a loop machine, incredible displays with the lighting, and just awesome musical ability, presence, and power. Every single person in the crowd looked at each other dumbstruck, having no idea of just how good it would actually be. After the third song I turned to my friend and said, "we've already got our money's worth of performance, I could leave now and still call it one of the best shows I've seen". With his charming personality, raw honesty, and passion in the music, the crowd was completely moved. The woman in front of me cried her eyes out. I know it sounds like I'm talking him up because he's my favorite, but every person I talked to at the show said the same things, even my friend who hadn't listened to Damien very much before.

Best concert I've ever been too. Puts his whole heart and soul into it

His acoustic-based performance this time around warranted a classier, more intimate venue with seats. LC Pavilion is cavernous\u2014a modern pole barn of a building without any charm. His warmth and wit fought the space the entire night, but he could not overcome the deficiencies inherent to the venue.

The best concert Ive ever seen in my life. Ever. Waited 10 years for that.

Great show love Damien Rice would definitely would see him again. Just not at the LC pavilion. 5 stars for the show.1 star for the place......

I was hoping for his band to come out and perform a few songs with him, but Damien Rice solo is just fine by me.

Damien Rice is always fantastic. Brilliant songs, funny, romantic, angry, all perfect. However, unless you're in the front 'row' on the 2nd floor you have a hard time seeing the performer. Projecting the show on the screens would be appreciated.

Damien Rice was hands down the best artist I have ever had the pleasure to see live. When he played Volcano, I melted. I hope to catch him the next time he's in town!

Damien showed us how brilliant and versatile he had been by playing guitar, organ, drum etc by himself with phenomenal stage effects. I should not tell you guys more because you need to attend his concert and experience it enjoying the music with Damien by yourself.

Damien Rice is a humble, talented and mesmerizing performer. There are very few musicians who realize that the stage is there to be used in its entirety. Mr. Rice is all too familiar with how to fill it with his special personality, charm and talent. I flew in from Maine, so I could take my musician brother to this concert. It was worth all the time, expense and effort. Hey Damien, come visit us around Portland any time. I'll buy you a pint!

If you want to cry like a baby and see a truly talented performer, see Damien Rice. He popes his heart and soul out on that stage and makes you feel like someone gets you. He knows the deepest corners of emotion and they come through so strong in his music. It was incredible. He seems so down to earth and truly cares for his fans.

Absolutely unforgettable! He played for over 2 hours, and was truly captivating. He showed so much talent as he played multiple instruments, and wa charming and engaging with the crowd. We had front row spots

This was a great mix of new and old music. He was solo on stage, which made it very intimate. Had a good sense of humor. Was more upbeat than normal. He's amazing talented.

Saw Damien Rice at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago on April 14. Show was amazing. Just Damien with a guitar (ok, several guitars and some effects pedals). I would highly recommend seeing him live. So talented. I'm going to get tickets for Pritzker when he is back in Chicago in June.

Damien Rice was great as always and the Auditorium Theater is an awesome venue. The acoustics were incredible.

I saw Damien Rice at the Auditorium theatre in Chicago. Loved it! Love him! If you are a fan of his music, I would recommend you see him in concert. This is my second time seeing him. The first time was in 2006/ 2007 at the Chicago Opera House (not sure of exact name),

I been a big fan of Damien Rice since in my late teens. I have been trying to see him live but he doesn't tour a lot . what an amazing show. Just the man , his voice and guitar. Watching him live, feels like watching a band. You forget that it's only him and the guitar. What an amazing singer - songwriter. One of the best vocalist I have ever heard. ( I have seen almost 100 shows in my life) . I can't praise him enough!!

The opening act was sleepy....then we had to wait awhile for Damien to come out. Just a little late for a Tuesday night-- and is it necessary for it to drag on like that? BUT- Damien was amazing. Such talent...connected with the crowd...lyrics make me cry....just beautiful. Just make the show a little earlier OR cut opening act short with little time in between--- IF a Tuesday night!

Damien Rice is wonderful! Such an entertaining show: little jokes and stories, but still maintained his beautiful sorrow.

We went to Chi Town concert of Damien Rice. It was simply astonishing! The atmosphere was surreal. Auditorium Theatre has the best acoustics, we could even hear Damien's feet tapping on a floor. Performance was way better than an actual record. So many emotions, voice power and desire to play for 100%. There was constant interaction between Damien and Audience. Never experience that before. I also like the fact how sarcastic and down to Earth he is about his music. Fully recommend to go and see Damien live. There is the reason why each show is sold out every time.

Between his humor and emotion, Damien was everything I was hoping him to be. I could have stayed and listened for hours and hours.

I was a little bit skeptical about an acoustic show in such a massive venue, but it worked. His voice was amazing!

Go. Just go see him live at a great venue. Incredible stuff.

Damien Rice might think that he brings his audience down with the sadness of his songs but it is quite the contrary. The audience was on the edge of their seat the whole concert and ran by chills. The stripped down stage is also a nice touch. Damien Rice's voice was amazing and didn't disappoint.

Great, relaxed atmosphere. Excellent musician. No smoke (well, a little bit) and mirrors here.

Damien Rice is a consummate artist in every way. I think he would have delivered the same concert to an empty auditorium because he is so passionate. His voice is so beautiful and his tone so clear and rich. At times I thought "he doesn't really even need a microphone!" The added effect of a barren stage with the artist and his guitar was magical. The pedal loops were innovative and clever for the few songs he chose to emphasize in that manner. My only sadness was that a small group of us (~20) waited over an hour and a half after the show to hope to pay our respects and say hello and he did not come out. I eventually had to leave because my most wonderful friend who came with me began to have some significant back pain from standing so long. She would have waited longer for me but I did not want to ask it of her. I wish he had simply sent word that he would not be coming out, or that he would eventually come in which case most or all of us would have happily waited endlessly. I don't know if he ever appeared but I hope the few who were able to wait did get a chance to say hello, as we were there because of him, for him, and in support of him and his art.

Damien Rice was in fine voice. Gorgeous. Just him and a guitar. He did a great set. Just beautiful. The sound at Massey Hall was superb.

Damien Rice was absolutely fantastic!! His artistry shines on stage. His music is captivating and he added depth and interest to the show, even though he was playing solo. Unforgettable! Would see him again in a heartbeat.

Damien Rice's entire show was acoustic. He did not perform with a band. The show was absolutely amazing! I would see him a million times over. It was worth the wait, he performed for three hours and came out for three encores! I would definately recommend this concert to any fan!

He wasamazing! Great vocal range he really got you in the feels girls even cried

this is second time I've seen him, live, at the Orpheum. The first time was about 8 years ago with a big band and Lisa - it was perfection. This time it was one man show - no band, no cello, and no Lisa ( sigh) but I'm gonna tell you, in all honesty, it was beyond perfection this time. Sometimes I would realize I was holding my breath, in awe of the music, the raw presence of his being, alone on that stage and literally giving himself over to the music. It really was beautiful. Bravo, Damien, and please come back to Boston soon!

Damien Rice was absolutely outstanding, and used technology (effects) and dynamic stage presence brilliantly to give us a very full performance despite being only one person on stage for the entire set. Very impressive. On the ugly side: Between the audience AND venue representatives, this was by far the most annoying concert conditions I've experienced. We literally couldn't hear any words the open act sang because the sound man didn't bother to give them due volume; it was like listening to music from another room. Damien was loud enough (and was fantastic!) but during many many many quiet portions of his music, and while he was telling entertaining stories between songs, a good portion of the audience was talking, and more importantly, VENUE REP'S were sometimes talking full-blast, making it impossible for us to fully enjoy the show. This really surprised me; the venue serious needs to receive this feedback, because they really didn't deserve my money for the experience they gave me. (To be clear, the audience also cheered a lot at favorite parts of songs, and this is NOT what I'm complaining about; cheering now and then adds to the experience.)

This was a truly exceptional show. It was just Damien and his acoustic, and he manages to produce such full and beautiful music.

Incredible music by the one man show of Damien Rice - no backup only lights and amazing lyrics, voice and guitar. He held it all together through 2 encores.

This was easily the best concert I have ever been to, and I can confidently say that I ever will go to (except if I go to another Damien Rice concert, which I certainly will). He is the most genuine artist out there. In between songs he would talk and tell stories. He was also taking requests like crazy. The effects pedals he used gave the concert an almost spiritual touch. He was using a loop pedal, distortion, wah pedals...everything. Also, one of the greatest things about the atmosphere was the way the lighting was set up. It cast this great shadow of him on the back wall of the stage which was completely mesmerizing to watch. Also, the lighting behind him turned him into a silhouette at times, and all could be seen was a curly haired figured strumming fiercely on the strings of his guitar. After the show, a few people and I waited around outside the venue. At first, the event staff told us to clear out (there were about 7 of us). And then one of them came back saying that Damien's manager said he would come out and talk to us for a bit. An hour later, Damien walks out, puts his guitar in the tour bus, and walks over to us and we chat for about 15 minutes. Incredibly interesting/kind person. I will never forget that night.

Probably the best show I have ever been to. Damien Rice is unbelievably talented and it was an honor to watch him perform. I have never really listened to his music before, I bought the tickets for my boyfriend for his birthday and I was enamored with his raw talent and musical abilities. His solo performance could shut down any over produced Pop show.

AMAZING! Damien Rice was one of THE BEST solo acts I have ever seen. I will see him again, whenever he returns to the Boston area!

The title says it all. Damien Rice is outstanding. I have been to many, many shows in my life, but this one sits in the top 3, if not the very top of all of them. It is rare to be absolutely moved by a single man on stage with only a guitar, a mic, and some pedals. Outstanding. You could hear a pin drop in the theater, everyone was so intently listening. I will never forget this show.

I had seen Damien Rice back in 2007, which turned out to be a lovely show. Now that I've gotten much more familiar with him, the show was that much better. Not to mention that his banter had gotten much better since 2007. I was captivated from beginning to end, almost forgetting to breathe at times. Did he play every song that I'd hoped for? No, but that's not important. He created and intimate atmosphere at an amazing venue.

Damien Rice was amazing live. What a voice. He was also very personable and funny.

Damien Rice's voice is able to emote unlike anyone else's I've ever heard. Though his recordings are phenomenal, they are nothing compared to seeing him live. Watching his expressions, his physical manifestations of the words and melodies, and hearing his explanations to some of the songs made for a wonderful night. Glen Hansard's performance was the icing on the cake!

Once again, Damien Rice left me wanting more. Awesome concert! I would go see him again over and over if I could. It was totally worth waiting 7+ years to see him again. Damien keeps getting better with age, just like wine! <3

This is my first time seeing Damien. My wife saw him play with his band right after his break up with one of his band members who he wrote some of his songs for and to. I was expecting a moody night of music on the dark side. What I got was amazing music (yes it can be dark) with whimsical fun and funny stories in between his playing. So now I am not only a fan of his music but a fan of the man himself. He has an incredibly strong voice that filled the Greek amphitheater. Hearing him playing solo was an acoustical treat. My wife and I will endeavor to see him whenever he is in town.

What a great show, was looking forward to him coming back to the bay area for many years and he did not disappoint. I can't stop singing Cold Water, the girl he brought up on stage was so talented she had to have been a plant!

Such an awesome performer. Superb singer, and he engaged the audience throughout his performance. Such a great night. Damien simply rocks!

Damien Rice was amazing! If he comes to your town DO NOT MISS his show!

This review will be short and sweet. Marketa Irglova opened for Ramien Rice, which was a very pleasant experience. Damien Rice gave an absolutely high quality concert (Solo) but he did not need any other musicians because he used all his talents to stand out and deliver. He's a great story teller and by that he was able to entertain the audience from beginning to end. The end of the concert was just amazing as an audience member got on stage and accompanied both Damien Rice and Marketa on the last song.
