Saosin

Best show I've seen in Dallas the two years I have been here, never would have thought to see Anthony green back in saosin but I'm so stoked I did I'm 25 and been listening to the band since I was 12 or 13, could not have asked for a better performance, the venue was amazing as well!

It was great seeing one of my all time favorite bands live since it was my first time. The theatre itself is really nice and the sound quality is awesome. It was very cool sharing the experience with other people who love the band as well. Growing up, Saosin was my comfort during certain situations and problems. Now as an adult, I've gotten the chance to see them and I will never forget that.

this was really an amzong concert the first band that one battle of the bands was alirght but eye alaska and innerpartysystem were sweet and then saosin was so gnarly it really was a good time and if and whne they come again i suggest going and go to there other concerts of they come to your town!!!!!!!!

The event was unforgetable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THe night started off with Eye Alaska they were great but the crowd was basically dead. Next came Innerpartysystem! They were awesome too! P.O.S. came and that's when the crowd started getting invvolved. He wasn't a typical rapper and a lot of people knew the words to his song. Then came Saosin! The crowd was wild for their whole set! Cove was very involved with the audience though you could hardly even hear him. When they finished playing their set the crowd started chanting, "one more song, one more song!" Pretty soon they came back out! It was amazing the crowd went wild and Cove jumped into the crowd! After they were done another vocalist came out but I didn't know who he was but he sounded really good!

I have been a fan of Saosin since Anthony was lead singer back in 2004, and have continued it with Cove as lead singer. I love Cove's singing style, and loved Anthony's as well. With that said, I absolutely didn't care for the opening acts this year. Four acts opening was ridiculous, including a rapper (which was the best opener of the night) and a techno rock band (which frankly gave the group I was with a headache). There were so many openers that the concert opened at 6, and we didn't leave till 11. Saosin rocked like always, and was amazing, playing their old greats as well as the good ones from their new album. (Encoring to Translating the Name was AMAZING) Bottom line: Wait till around 9, then go to the concert, skip the openers, which weren't that special, then rock out to Saosin!

Sweet show. The Influence is a great new and upcoming band, can't wait to hear some of their new stuff. Eye Alaska sounded totally different live than they did on their album but in my opinion much better. Innerpartysystem put on an amazing show. This was the first time that I have seen them but they have me itching for more. Saosin preformed well but not as well as I expected. The singer lost his voice 4th song in, and their showmen ship was no where near Innerpartysystem. As for the Norva venue, vocals all night were overpowered by the band.

The opening band was ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. The Influence, a local band from Virginia Beach, was a total embarrassment to themselves. The "singer," if you want to call him that, which I wouldn't because that would be a massive insult to actual singers, looked like he was dying/high/drunk. It was absolutely awful. I took friends and feel like I insulted them by making them endure this band. Fortunately it only lasted half an hour. The second band, Eye Alaska, was basically AMAZING. They owned the stage and put on a spectacular performance. I'm a fan =)! Brandon rocks! I think their best song is Walk Like a Gentleman. They performed for about half an hour as well. The third band, InnerPartySystem, wasn't really my style of music, but they put on a good show too. I couldn't tell you what songs they played though, they all sounds really synthesized/loud. Another half hour performance. SAOSIN ROCKED! I knew they would. Sadly, the sound guy didn't seem to notice that the vocal mic was being drowned out most of the time, but it was still a good show. Honestly, though, I think Eye Alaska put on a better show. In any case, Saosin's songs are still awesome. I don't remember the exact setlist but I'll put what I remember.

this was my first time going to the norva, it was a very nice venue and was just like the 930 club. eye alaska was pretty good, but the lead singer wore a backpack the whole time which was kinda weird. innerpartysystem was nuts! the lights ans beats were amazing, but their singing killed what couldve been potentially good music. now saosin was AMAZING. cove sounds jusg as good live as he does on the cds. this was my 2nd time seeing them live and they are just truely amazing. but i wish they wouldve played more songs :( it semed like they played just as many songs as the opening acts! other than that, it was really good

Opening band the Influence was great, the biggest problem was how short their set was. Eye Alaska was a little bit of a let down for me personally, but saosin made up for it all w/ a strong rocking close.

I really enjoyed this concert - EyeAlaska was a very positive surprise - InnerPartyMotion was techno-crap - POS was okay, but rap never thrills me - the opening band was really very good also. Crocodile Rock is a great venue - much better than the Chameleon club in Lancaster - that was too loud and crowded.

Saosin is awesome live. The drummer is ridiculous. The show was really tight. Downside I was there on a tuesday haha

Innerpartysystem stole the damn show last night! Seriously, all the bands were great...but I was overly impressed with them. Once you factor in the amazing sound system at the House of Blues, you just get this orgasmic collection of music.

The show was great. P.O.S wasn't very good and was out of place rapping with all the other bands that were there. And the vocals were a little hard to hear at times but over all I thought it was a great show.

Saosin was amazingggg. Played all my favorite songs and were just all around amazing and were great with the audience!

This show was great for a person who is open to a variety of music as the PacTour has drafted a diverse selection of opening performers. Headliners, Saosin put on a solid performance which included hits and favorites from both full length albums as well as some older material. The performance was extremely entertaining as all band members were interactive, which kept the crowd at a high level of excitement throughout. Saosin also came back on stage after their set to perform for a few minutes in addition to the show, including some brief Metallica and Pearl Jam covers. The Trocadero in downtown Philadelphia has great sound quality and every band at this particular show sounded very good live.

I was there for the entire show including the opening bands. I thought that Eye Alaska killed it! They were really good! POS did ok keeping the crowd involved and Inter Party sysytem was so loud I really felt like I was going thru the floor! However they were interesting as I had never seen them before. Saosin in insane!!!! That's all I can really say. Those guys loooked like they enjoyed themselves so much, it was so cool to watch them and their drummer....AWESOME! The crowd loved them. Their music rocked and I loved it, but I couldn't understand a word that he said!

We went to see Saosin at Starland ballroom. The venue was great. Very intimate feel to the concert. The opening act CLEAR BLURR was fantastic. No tricks, just great sounding music. Their sound was clear and not too loud. The other bands were ok. POS didn't seem very comfortable up on stage... like he hated being there. Alaska eye was a little weird, the lead singer seemed wasted! But the music was good. Intersystem party was terrible. The lights were all over the place...very distracting. The sound was so loud you couldn't hear the music. They had too many bells and whistles, like they had to cover up for no talent. Saosin was really good, their lights were a little calmer, but still went well with the music. The lead singer acted a little full of himself, but all and all everyone really looked like they enjoyed the music. So no harm done.

I took my girlfriend to see Saosin since she likes these guys. I'm a big POS fan so it worked out nice. The crowd was anti-POS to start since he's rap and I don't think many of them expected it. He sounded good and got half the crowd jumping and waving their hands by the end. I'd have loved more stuff from Ipecac Neat but his newer tunes are potent as well. I knew nothing of Innerpartysystem until they came out. They were amazing. Reminded me of Depeche Mode but a little heavier on the synths and bass, which is a plus. I picked up their cd after their set. They sounded amazing. Their basslines were vibrating the rafters and light fixtures above us. Their lights were done very well too. Saosin wasn't bad, but they drowned out the vocals and distorted their tunes too much. After hearing POS and Innerpartysystem sound crystal clear and aggressive, Saosin jusst sounded loud and drowned out. Performance and showmanship wise as well, POS and Innerpartysystem were leagues beyond Saosin. They just felt more mechanical and uncomfortable, despite being the headliners. I was unimpressed. I'd not see Saosin again, I'd see POS or Innerpartysystem if you get a chance.

Saosin was super amazing!! They really kept the crowd going and interacted a lot with them. Lots of crowd surfing and circle pits during their whole set. Sooo much fun! Innerpartysystem.P.O.S., and EyeAlaska also put on an awesome show. Definately one of my fav concerts of the year!

Inner party System, Eye Alaska, POS, and Saosin all did a fabulous job! they all were different and that's what made the show what it was. Inner party system is like a dream they have some many lights it was trippy! lol. I was able to get my groove on! Saosin I was able to rock! The lead singer has such a sexy voice! It blows my mind!

The opening bands were not good. Saosin rocked it though...surprised there weren't many people there but regardless, they played a good show.

Four songs from InnerPartySystem? They should have played much longer and eliminated one of the earlier bands. Saosin was really so-so.

what can i say they were the best the best band i ever listen to i like how everyone got into the music i was so into it rocking all the time they are awesome i got no words to explain how awesome it was. i hope they come again to Kansas City again

If ever I should forget how amazing Saosin is (which will never happen), all I have to do is go to one of their shows to get blown away all over again. Not only are HOB venues great because of the atmosphere, but they are somewhat intimate shows. The high energy of the crowd goes to show how well they perform live. Nice to hear the variety of sounds from the opening bands as well. A mixture of sounds.

All performances were great, you could really feel the enthusiasm of all the fans around the room. It was a night to remember and i would recommend everyone out there to go to this event!

concert was amazing! never seen POS before.. he was also amazing!

I'm not a big fan of saosin, but the opening bands were awesome. POS and Eye Alaska were very good and I hdn't heard of either of them before this. But Innerpartysystem is amazing! If you're into indie techno dance music, these guys are legit! The show was a lot of fun, and recommended even if you don't like saosin too much.

Saosin was good but the opening act, The Sequence, stole the show. These guys really know how to write a song. Great melodies and the ability to surprise you with inventive writing and arranging. Can't believe these guys aren't signed. Saosin should add this group to the tour.

These guy's are great. They tear up the stage when they sing. They get the croud into the show like not many bands know how to do and they are greatful because they thank you for the support. Eye Alaksa was amazing also, they are still an up and coming band but you can tell that they will be huge. I think i will get tickets for the next time they come to town. Saosin Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great show. Other than the first night technical problems suffered by Saosin's guitarist, the show was outstanding. Saosin definitely was the highlight, but P.O.S. stood out as an artist and won an LA crowd over. Innerpartysystem put on a great show, and EyeAlaska was a crowd pleaser. Much props to the opening act, Sequence, and OC local band, who started the show off right. Anaheim, here we come!!!!!!

I went to the show a Saosin fan, and left a HUGE IPS and EYE ALASKA fan!! They both are amazing performers! The troc was so cool, so much character! I would definately follw this tour around the country if i could. The light show for IPS was something I will never forget and Eye Alaska's lyrics were truely heart felt. The troc's sound system was perfect, I can't say enough about it!! Ck this tour out if you can, for the price it's def a no-brainer!

I love the show. InnerPartySystem plays great music with great lighting effects. Saosin are Great too... and Cove can scream!! at the end of the show, I chat with Saosin's member, get autograph, and tahe some pichaz with them....

Friday night at the Orbit Room was so much fun. You get up close to the bands and all of them were very good. Saosin needed to play longer but it was still awesome. Cove was very interactive with the audience and I was surprised that he pointed at me when we were up front singing. Saosin is definitely a good live band. Innerpartysystem also played a really good show and I am glad I went.

First all I will state that Saosin sounded great! That's the only positive I can say. They were the headliner and played a total of 11 songs and were on stage for less than an hour. Tickets with fees were just over $40 a piece and you get less than an hour? I attend over 25 concerts a year for over 15 years on average and I have never had a headliner play that short. In addition they played zero songs from their previous singer. Couple thing on this one, if you are going to do that please state it to your fans a head of time. Second, say what you will about the self titled album it was by far their most successful and zero songs from it. And as a reward for an 11 song set lasting less than an hour Saosin charges $25 for a tshirt. Greatly appreciated!

Saosin was flat out amazing, the Souvenirs were great, and Seizure (I think) was okay, their drummer was sick nasty.

Had a blast at House of Blues Houston as usual - love this place. The venue is small enough for that intimate feeling, but large enough to hold a good amount of people and not feel like you are suffocating. Saosin was great - first time for me to see these guys. Had an overall awesome time. GA is the way to go every time!

The concert was too FRESH! I can't wait for them to jump back into the studio and come out with some new music!

The concert was...okay. It was pretty great to hear AG back with Saosin revisiting the Translating the Name EP. However, the whole show was either from this EP or a couple of new songs. Personally I didn't overly mind but several people with me were at least hoping Anthony tackled ONE song from Saosins self titled or other music post TTN-EP. Instead we got to hear Seven Years twice, which was both good and bad. The venue was meh, just a lot of concrete and overpriced drinks. The openers failed to connect with the crowd and kind of fizzled.

The night was simply amazing. My 17 year old self was extremely happy. Getting to hear all the oldies with some of my best friends was awesome. The show was overall perfection.

It was a pretty solid show. Very nostalgic for me. c:

Hands down best show ever. Saosin and Anthony Green need to record an album together.

This show could have done a lot better with two different opening acts. In Transmission was alright, but their music made me drowsy and Night Riots... Their name was misleading I mean the music they played was completely nothing as to what I was expecting. All I really wanted to see was Saosin and be on my way. Only reason worthwhile was Saosin with Anthony Green I mean that was a lifetime opportunity to be able to see them play together again after so many years.

They had such great energy! They were straight up amazing and I had so much fun! Justin the guitarist is beautiful and plays amaZing and cove was just all out fantastic! I will see them anytime I can!

It was awesome had a great time........all bands preformed well even the first one.

The show in Anaheim was amazing because Saosin played everything from their brand new album to some fantastic old songs and really got the crowd going. I would go back tonight if I could.

A Great Venue. Lots of fun, and really loud. Had a great time. Got to meet a lot of cool people. Met some Eye Alaska band members and close friends. The show was awesome. A lot of people showed up. Not enough chairs to go around.

i cold just see the over and over again! lol eye alaska did an amazing job! i love how brandon when on with sao during i never wanted to , and i lovedddd how all the guys when on during seven years !

House of blues, Anahiem is a great venue, Saosin, Eye Alaska, P.O.S, and innerparty system all know how to put a great show on.

The winner of the Orlando battle of the bands, Mayday! Cried the Captain did an amazing job. Interparty System and Saosin were great. I enjoyed the show very much.

All the bands that played were really good. But when Saosin's set started the room got crazy. Everyone was so excited and it was loud, mosh pit started, my friends and I started crowd surfing. It was so much fun. The band sounds just like they do on their albums, totally real, no faking. They played the best songs that got everyone singing and jumping up and down.

It was awesome. Innerpartysystem totally pumped up the show. Will the ending of Saosin made the crowd mosh and crowd surf it really moved the audience, This concert totally rocked.

The only thing I didn't like about seeing Saosin was that I had to sit through the other bands first. I don't know what PacSun is thinking putting Innerpartysystem and P.O.S with Saosin, but I wasn't there to hear rap or trance, I was there to hear rock. Get some more related openers! Saosin, though, was incredible, and I would go see them again and even sit through the same openers if necessary.

I have seen Saosin at HOB Orlando twice before, but this show was the best! I thought they played the best and had the best attitude while performing. After the show, I was able to meet the entire band which included Alex Rodriguez, the drummer, who has been my idol for many years now. Great show guys!

Great show but I don't think P.O.S. should have been on the line up. Rap music at an alt rock concert isn't a good idea. Imagine throwing Saosin up with Snoop Dog and T-Pain....that wouldn't go well either.

The opening acts were picked well for the most part. Started off with MAYDAY! Cried The Captain. They were pretty good. The closing song/line dance thing was a bit cheesy tho. Next up was EyeAlaska. Not bad. Cool lights, good music. 3rd up was Innerpartysystem. I was totally blown away... The amazing lights, The sound, The performance... all incredible. The way everything was soooo in sync.... the light HAD to have been preprogrammed and run by computer lol. I don't think any human could be that accurate with the ques. Wow... They definately stole the show. Then after being TOTALLY wow'd, on comes POS. No offense to POS or his fans, but.... I wasn't into this one at all. The 1st words out of his mouth were "If you don't like rap music and are going to sit with your arms folded and stare at me..... GET THE F### OUTSIDE UNTIL IM DONE!"... umm.... wow.... Not a great 1st impression. He wasn't bad as far as rap artists go, but Im definately not a rap fan. Then came Saosin, They put on a great concert. I was really amazed that as loud as they were, you could still hear every word the lead singer said/sang. They have a great sound guy. Their lighting was alot more expensive, but, not as impressive as the innerpartysystem. Their lighting guy was fun to watch tho lol. He definately felt every note of the music. He was dancing more than anyone else in the room. The weirdest part of the night HAD to be the intermission music. It took a while for each band to tear down and the next one to come up, so they played some music while we waited... Music like... Wilson Philllips??!? Celine Dion?!?! But the WORST had to be when the entire audience got Rickrolled!, Thats right.... they broke out the Rick Astly. Who chose this stuff?!?! Was it intentionally bad 80's music?? ROFL.

bottom line.. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! one of the best concerts I have EVER BEEN TOO!!!!!!

It's a Tuesday afternoon, I'm finishing up my work, I look in Pollstar & see this "Pactour" & I'm thinkin' that's how Vans Tour started & I'll bet this will beat watchin' Jeopardy so I head out and got my money's worth alright! If you have nothing else to do, get out & see this tour. You will have an legendary night. But go right to the inexperienced sound guy and remind him that just because he knows all the words by now, he needs to clear up the vocals for the rest of us. All four bands BROUGHT IT!

Best band ever hands down, amazing performance!! I wish theycould come back again soon because they are my favorite band.

To be frank every band was mediocre or under par except for Saosin. Saosin layed out a great show and it was fun as hell. If you haven't heard of this band, look them up on myspace and get yourself some tickets next time they come back to the Burgh.

I saw Saosin at the Norva on December 5, 2009. It was an amazing experience. The Norva is always a great place to go, but this was one of the best yet.
