Hairball

Awesome show,, Great impersonators Some brought back alot of good memories!!!

Spectacular, Awesome, Wow. A must see. If they come to your town, see it. Will go every year from here on out. The stage reinactments were amazing and almost true to the original. The backing band was one of the most talented group of musicians I have seen. A+++++

Energetic, authentic, and very entertaining. Great show! Love the Genessee Theater!

What an amazing band! They wore us out!! The Grizzly Rose is the perfect intimate venue for this band. They played their hearts and souls out. Great tunes, great costumes, well played, well acted. Bravo, Salute, Hear Hear!!!

Good Music, their Freddie Mercury kind of looked like a one of the Beastie boys from the sabotage video and thats pretty much the only thing i could complain about other than my bar tab was over a hundred bucks.

Hairball was very worthwhile going to. Cannot wait to see them again. I hope they come back to Bismarck, ND again soon.

This was my first time seeing Hairball...and they. were. awesome! i went with my boyfriend, who has seen them at the Hutchinson County Fair, and he enjoyed them this time as well (little sad they didnt paint up and do Kiss tho) i loved seeing all of my favorite bands played at one venue. and i though that the costumes, actions, and voices of the two singers fit almost perfect with each band they played. and i loved Happy! we had v.i.p tickets and he came and talked with us about how he started to play guitar and the first concert he ever went to....it was nice to see that the band really cares about their fans and is willing to sit through photos and talk to people. the opera house had assigned seating, but we were in the front and its a small venue, so everyone could see and rock out just fine. They were done at around 10.30 and started at 8...so the show was a good length.

Awsome, would definately go again, would prefer assigned seats though.

Enjoyed all the music from different "groups" and the costumes were so close. I grew up in the era and thouroughly enjoed the show. They will be at the Iowa State Fair too!!

The band was excellent, the venue was big enough to have ample seating as well as enough room for standing and dancing

Had an enjoyable evening with my sister and Mom, we love the 80's and 90's!!

Hairball was great! My first time seeing them and I would definitely go see them again.

Once again hariball outdid themselves! I've seen them at least a dozen times and every time it's a little different. They keep finding ways to bring in new acts and keep things fresh. Whenever they are near--a definate "must see" in my book.

Great show. Drop the opening act and have Hairball on stage for another hour.

Show was awesome, crowd interaction was great! Our whole group had a blast , especially one particular lady that was with us! You would have to be near dead not to enjoy these guys! The only strange thing was, the guy who did Bon Jovi looked more like a rock n roll santa! Wierd! Everyone should see this show atleast once. No regrets!

The outdoor amphitheater at Jackpot Junction was perfect for seeing Hairball perform! They put on an amazing light show with fireworks and colored smoke. We had a great time. Most of the concert attendees did the standing room only in front of stage; and appeared to be really enjoying it. We wanted to be able to sit down so had purchased grandstand seats; and could see everything perfectly!

The show was awesome and kept getting better with each song. Definitely recommended!

Hairball is totally amazing. How many concerts do you get to go to where you get to see and hear 10+ bands that you love?! And they sound fantastic on all of them!!

I seen them before and again and the next day and Let me say it never the same show A+ show.I seen you Rock'em to " HAIRBALL"KIck ass show.a must see .

This was my first time seeing Hairball and they did not disappoint. The only bummer was that they only played for 2 hours and the concert was over at 10 p.m. My friends that have seen Hairball many times were quite surprised too - they didn't play a lot of their best acts. We chalked it up to the venue - Black Bear is pretty strict on their alcohol rules and it appeared that the band was not allowed to imbibe while performing. I definitely plan on going to another Hairball concert as soon as I can.

Loved it, the band is awesome. High energy act, never disappoints Hoping they return next year!

To start let me say there are 2 events. The opening band and the hairball performance. The opening band was some I assume local band named 8 ball. Although I think theyou tried hard they were terrible. Noone was cheering. The crowd was talking. Noone was paying attention. And they perform all original music Noone knew. As for hairball itself great. Costume changes. High energy. Great sound. Great vocals. If you thrive in 80s rocker you should definitely see this event.

You owe it to yourself to go see Hairball. The band is awesome, the music is great, and the stage show is unbelievable.

I highly recommend going to a HAIRBALL concert! The singing, lighting and special effects were AMAZING!!

We were not that impressed with Judd Hoos - but will come back again and again for Hairball. Thanks for bringing the show to the Swiftel!!

This was my first time seeing Hairball & the show was awsome. If you luved the 80s music you will enjoy their show.

I brought my husband to the concert. This is the first time he has ever seen Hairball and he absolutely loved it. I can't believe how inexpensive the concert is. This show was the best show we have both seen in years. I would definitely go see them again. Thank you for the wonderful memories we made. Lisa

We had so much fun! I have seen them before & i will see them again!

The Hairball group did a very good job with all the different artists that they are able to do within a 2-hour. A special moment was when they brought a little boy on stage the guitar player and let him play the guitar was really cool and awesome I'm sure the little boy will never forget that . The Twisted Sister songs were one of my favorites of the night besides the Journey songs

This show was sooo much fun and the music wad great! They didn t use pyrotechnics because of the size of the theatre. Would definatly see them again!

Super fun! They are awesome and put on one heck of a show

The band was really entertaining, we had a great time. I would go see them again!

So much fun! The best songs from the best bands! Prince was a nice surprise

This was a great time. A big party! If you like hard rock from the MTV video era, you would like this. They did a couple of songs with costumes from the hey day of all of the bands. Journey, Prince, Queen, Kiss, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses, Poison, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, AC DC. A couple of very big hits and everyone sings along. Especially liked Purple Rain and Let's Go, by Prince, and the medley with "David Lee Roth". I have seen Van Halen a few years ago and actually liked this version better. They did a great job with costumes and had a competent band. Could have been cheesy but wasn't at all. I would see them again. Rock ON!!

We laughed, yelled and sang our voices hoarse. I am an older adult and I attended with two friends. One was a child of the 80's and the other a child of the 60'S. We all loved it. Elliott was so good and should be part of thebans when he can stay up later!

I grew up in the 80s but while others were listening to Hairball music, we were sailing, drinking margarita, and going to Jimmy Buffett shows. My wife being a faithful listener to Sirus's Hair Nation, has converted me to a fan and we go to most shows in this genre at The Genesee. Hairball was one of the best I've seen to date. It was just plan FUN, and we'll definitely see them again when they come to town.

Hairball is always a great show. Music is fast and loud, performers are very entertaining. I will say that I saw this show about 2 yrs ago and I liked it better then. Back then, Happy did a guitar solo and talked with the audience about each of the band members. Also, this time, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE in the audience stood the entire time, which is fine for a large venue, but so much for a local theater with seating. I had 3rd row tickets and even if I stood, I still couldn't see the stage because the people in the 1st 2 rows were at least a foot taller. Ridiculous. I ended up standing by the lighting/sound guy just so I could see something. Next time, I'll buy the cheapest seats available.

We really enjoyed this show! Made us smile the whole time. Very class move by the lead guitarist (who can play his ass off) with a young person from the crowd. Very entertaining.

Great show. Nice venue. Very entertaining would see again.

Good time. Excellent costume changes to transport you back in time.

I have seen all the local Hairband, Hairball, tribute bands and they all sound good but the show and presentation was so good the costume changes are amazing. Prince blew it away love it we will be back next time. The only down side is the venue alot of the people there sit, and when im spending money to go to a concert i wanna stand up and dance, scream and have a good time and it seems at the Theatre's this seems to be an issue not just Rialto, i seen concerts at the Genesis Theatre up north was the same.. Dont go to concert if you dont plan on standing and dancing plan and simple. and a Rock concert at that.

I must admit, I was a little skeptical when my girlfriend got me the Hairball tickets for Christmas. I'm more into Heavy Metal. However, I had a blast ! These guys are great. Nothing short of amazing. Ozzy, Alice, Queen, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Journey and many others. You will know all of the songs if you were younger in the late 70's and through the 80's. I must also comment on the venue - Rialto Square Theater - in Joliet. It was my first time there. What a beautiful place and the staff was so nice and informative of the history of the theater. At one point, they were going to tear the place down and put up a parking lot. That would have been a REAL shame. A great night out for sure. Given the email I received asking to review, I'm not sure if it is for the Hairball band or the venue but both were great !

was kind of cheaply done wigs were funny looking started out with a one man show we thought was strange we attend about a dozen concerts a year Micheal jackson and elvis presley shows were much better Next concert Judas Priest

I had no idea what I was in for. My Girl Friend loves classic Rock and i saw the show in my inbox and said to myself," Laura would like this" so i bought The tickets. We drove 30 miles to the venue. The music starts and we just got into it. the stage, the costumes , and music choice from the band were amazing.. so see them!!!

This was the 2nd time I've seen them and boy is this a great show! They need to advertise more! I couldn't come up with anything negative if I tried. The Guitar player, Bass player and Drummer are just phenomenal! Each singer is so on spot, I couldn't pick a favorite because they are all awesome! Costumes, spot on! I left feeling I saw all of the bands. Go see this!!

This was fantastic!!!! These guys are great. We cant wait to see where else they are playing close to us!!!!

We bought tickets the night before the show to break the dinner and drinks routine. We weren t sure exactly what to expect but always enjoy live music. This show was incredible!! Over 2 hours of non-stop amazing entertainment. I highly recommend getting out to see these guys and we definitely will see them again when they are in the area.

I was completely floored at their stage presence! I thought the photo was to showcase who they would be singing - not that they would be dressed exactly like them! Not to mention sound like them too!! Awesome concert and if they come back to the Rialto Square Theater - so will I . . but with more friends next time!!! Worth every cent!!!

They did an excellent job not only with the music but playing the parts of the lead singers. Very entertaining and definitely worth seeing.

Great show and fun. A real trip down memory lane. Enjoyed every moment of the show.

I ve seen these guys a number of times at the Harley Muesum and always wondered how good they would sound in a small indoor venue. Well they were just as good of not better. They played a number of hits from band we know and they played non stop. Thier lead Guitarist happy is amazing. Go see them you won t regret it. Great concert even better show.

I surprised my husband with tickets to Hairball and another couple went with. We had an absolute blast! It did seem that the microphones in the beginning weren't at the right volume but it got better. The band members and all the singers were extremely entertaining and played back and forth with the audience, no matter where your seat was. I also have to say, I am so grateful that they didn't feel the need to swear and throw the F bomb around. I checked this out online before purchasing. I did read that it was a family friendly show and unless you have a problem with the genre, it was family friendly. I wouldn't bring very young kids but if you have a pre teen that is in to 80's rock and roll, as a parent you don't have to worry about foul or vulgar language. THANK YOU for that! Also, our group did wish the encore was better. Alice Cooper just wasn't what we expected for the finale. All in all, it was great and we will see this awesome experience again for sure! Rock on!

Hairball is always awesome! They play sets of many of the 80s rock bands -- Prince, Alice Cooper, Queen, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Guns and Roses, Ozzy, etc., and sometimes the songs and acts change. You're basically listening to a greatest hits of the 80's played live. They have the actions and sounds down almost perfectly. There's live snakes, fire breathing, swords, and fireworks! We try to dress up in our 80s costumes or at least some long hair and an AC/DC or GNR shirt. Everyone loves it. Hairball is getting so popular that it's becoming hard to see them nearby. If they're in the area, they're definitely worth seeing. Great times!

This was my 3rd time seeing Hairball - love these guys! It's amazing the number of bands they can cover and still come so close to making you believe they're the real thing. The lights, pyro, and confetti all add to the experience. This time they seemed to struggle a bit in the beginning with their sound, I'd say the first 5 or so songs seemed muddy and they appeared to be trying to work it out during the performance. Also, this was the shortest concert I think I've ever been too. From start to finish I think it was an hour and 45, maybe because they didn't have an opening act. All-in-all I would go see them again. I would recommend that they look for another venue though, the Voodoo seems to be on a downhill slide. When we got there the line for security must have been more than 100 people long - not exaggerating. When we finally did make it to the front of the security line, they just stopped checking and let everyone in. We also reserved a table in the upper level, but they've changed the seating so that the chairs are shorter and closer together, so it's hard to see over the railing and 2 of the chairs don't face the stage. Add to the fact that there's only one bar staffed by a single bartender up top and it wasn't good. I'd love to see Hairball play someplace like the Arvest Bank at the Midland!

good time could of used more motley crue but other than AWESOME cant wait for another show

Loved the costume changes to fit the songs! And the guys were so interactive with the audience. I will definitely go to this show again and again. Fantastic!

Totally awesome show! Band sounds a lot like bands they cover. The lead singers changing outfits to look like the covered bands' front-men was icing on the cake! Fun time. Venue was the right size. Will definitely see them again!

Loved every minute of it! We will be going to see Hairball again!

I love this group's amazing show!! This is the 3rd time we've seen them and they just get better and better!!

Loved every minute. Music & were costumes awesome!

Great value for the show you get. Non stop hits. Lots of fun.

This was my very first live rock concert and it was amazing. Very family oriented event! Highly recommended for teens that don't like the death metal stuff. You will get addictive of Hairball shows!

Probably my 7-8th time seeing Hairball and once again it's a fantastic show. I would like to occasionally see some different acts, but no matter I always leave knowing these guys put everything they have into their performances. I really appreciate Happy taking the time to meet with me prior to the show. Go Badgers:)

For anyone who loved 80's hairband music, they will thoroughly enjoy a night of the best flagship songs of the best bands you loved! I would highly recommend watching them whenever you can catch them....awesome costumes and better music than even the original as I can understand the words...ha! GO SEE THEM!

It was a time warp back to the 80's Fantastic! It was like seeing all the bands you never got to experience in person in the 80's, these are very talented guys who put on a fabulous performance. It is nonstop entertainment. Loved it will go again and again to see them perform!

This is the 4th time we've seen Hairball. The first time inside, not at a bike rally, without all the pyro. Still an unbelievable show. They are consistently Amazing. It was immediately 1987 & I was 17. We brought a group of 10 + and everyone had a great time. Can't wait to see them again. Picking up our tix from Will Call at the Ticket Master kiosk, just outside The Voodoo was super convenient. As well as having out room at Harrah's Casino.

So much fun, I love the music, they do a great job getting the crowd going. I have seen them before and I plan to see them again. Thanks Hairball!

Loved that Happy was able to perform! Was one of the best shows in a long time - not that any show is ever bad for Hairball --- just so great to see the love for Happy on his cancer journey.

Loud, explosive fun! We enjoyed the show. Brought me back to the 80 s!

The Hairball concert at the Victory in Evansville, IN was a great show! They played non-stop for 2 hours and not one person was in their seat the entire show!

We decided to celebrate date night here and had a blast! Every performer did an excellent job with stage presence, costuming and sound. We were impressed with every single performer and hope to bring a bigger crew with us next year. Please add Bowie to the mix if you can! It was a great mix with songs that everyone should enjoy! What a good way to feel like I was able to experience certain performers that we won t have the chance to see (like Freddie and Prince). Thank you for an amazing time!

THE ENTIRE SHOW BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF MY YOUTH IN THE 80'S. FUN.FUN,FUN. THE BAND WAS EXCELLENT AND THE MUSIC WAS NON-STOP. GO SEE THEM IF YOU HAVE A CHACE, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Opening act sucked, but Hairball was so amazing I ll go back and take more friends! They were like the real deal! Worth the $$$!!

This was the second time in two years I've seen this '80s tribute band, and they just keep getting better, investing more into their stage show and talent. I've attended a lot of big name '80s rock concerts in the last couple years, and spent a lot of money on close tickets, but for a fraction of the price of the big names, you can sit right up front and be entertained at a phenomenal level. I recommend this show to anybody who enjoys '80s rock. It is a must see, and you will not be disappointed. Bombastic is the perfect word they use to describe their show.

Hairball! A show people of all ages should see! So entertaining! So ROCK! We enjoyed this show to the extremes. Sitting down was not an option! We rocked for over two hours! Last year was good, but nothing compared to this show! The entertainers were professional, and one could tell they studied the person they imitated; they had it down packed. The band members made sure the audience was engaged the entire show. I can't say enough about them!!! As long as they come to Evansville, we will be going. They added new acts this year, which made it even more enjouable. Thank you! ROCK ON!!

My first time seeing Hairball and will not be my last. EXCELLENT show. I cannot give this a high enough review. These guys are extremely talented. HIGHLY recommend!!!! Great sound, great show.

I heard about this concert last year but didn't go. Some friends asked us to go with them this year and I'm glad I did. It was an awesome concert. We stood on our feet from the beginning to the end and sang every song. The costumes were great and so was the atmosphere. I think I loved the Prince and Kiss portion of the concert the best. I would highly recommend this concert to anyone that loves the hairbands/80's music and is looking for a fun evening.

I truly had a blast at Hairball. The whole crowd singing along to the songs was a unique experience and I loved that. The first band was awful so I may just skip it and come at 9:00 to see Hairball next year. I would have given the event a 5 star rating if it hadn't been for the first band.

We had an amazing and awesome time, haurball bllew the roof off

These guys are amazing!!! The has to be one of the best concerts that I have ever seen. I cant wait to see them again. DONT MISS THIS SHOW!!

This is really undersold at how cleaver and excellent it is. The performance went straight on through for 2 hours which was fantastic featuring a variety of groups. The only bad side about 2 hours straight is drink and bathroom breaks were on the fly. It is definitely worth checking out!

My wife and I really enjoyed the show. It wasentertaining and very much enjoyable. Something we would both see again.

Great concert. They hit every song out of the park! Highly recommend going to this concert, you won't regret it.

We saw them in Wis Dells at the Casino we thought they were good there. Then we made the trip to LaCrosse Wis and the show was even better.

Great music, fun show!! These guys really go all out.

I really liked their performances and the lighting and smoke displays.They definitely know how to perform.I liked the Ozzie and Cooper performances.I can't believe they had a live snake on their Cooper performance.all I can say is they come back to Lacrosse Wisconsin I would go see them again.

It was an awesome show!! They are a great band!! Can't wait it they come back!!

If you haven't seen Hairball yet, you're missing out. Find a venue and get to a show. These guys put on a helluva great show! Family friendly too. Will definitely go see these guys again at every opportunity. The 9th Planet Out opened for Hairball and did an awesome job getting the crowd amped up.

If you love the 80 s hair bands then they are gunna satisfy you beyond belief it was an amazing show and they covered bands with great precision. If you can t see the real thing this is the next best will definitely go again when they come back around!!

One of the greatest shows I have ever seen. Highly recommended!!!!

Really fun night, great costumes and music choices

Great show lots of energy. Plus you can sing along to almost every song.

The band is legit and makes it feel like you are seeing all those amazing bands together in one show! I will be there again next time.

I grew up with this music and presentation, so it was trip down memory lane for me. I enjoyed the fact that the crowd got into so much!

Excellent show. Would definitely go there and watch them again

The hairball concert was great. The band did a great job of impersonating the original singers for so many awesome 80's bands. They played hard for over 2 hours and sounded great. I would definitely go see them again.

It was a good time...like seeing 15 bands in 1 nite....highly recommend

If you like 80's rock you'll love HAIRBALL! From the songs, to the outfits and the mannerisms iit is awesome! This was my third time to attend and I'll go again if I get the chance!!!

Couldn't stop moving and singing! Its like watching all your favorite bands in one concert. They are truly a wonderful show!!

It was awesome we was right up front against the fence by the stage! It was really a great show!
