Real Estate

Real Estate put on a fantastic show at the Fox! I was hoping for a few more of their slower and more melodic songs (Past Lives, Time, etc.), but every tune they played was perfection. I will definitely keep an eye open for their next show in the Bay Area!

Totally Awesome Show. They rocked it. Vocals and guitar licks were spot on.

Awesome venue and even better show! Openers were great as well

Real Estate put on a terrific show at a great venue. If you like their studio work, you will love Real Estate live. They are not one of those bands that cannot recreate their sound in alive setting. I had heard that the band can be a little sullen on stage, but saw no signs of this. They seemed pleasantly surprised by the support they received on their first visit to Buffalo. The opening acts were also quite good. Bryan Johnson performing solo sans his "family" offered up a brisk collection of surf-tinged pop songs with great guitar work and nice lyrics. William Tyler a guitar instrumentalist did several interesting pieces utilizing loops and delay which bordered on the edge of being "just" noise. I am not a big fan of this type of music but Tyler did what he did and did it well. Tyler also told some compelling stories in between songs which made his sound landscapes more accessible because oddly you felt like you were listening to a friend. I will be seeing Tyler and Real Estate this weekend at Wilco's bi-annual Solid Sound event. I would definitely like to see Real Estate again and would be willing to drive to Rochester or Toronto to make that happen.

Show started at 8. I had to endure two boring opening acts. The band finally came on at 10:00. By the time they came on, I was falling asleep by the opening acts. Once on stage, the band was great but when they start at 10:00, on a school night (Thursday), some people do have to wake up early for work the next day.

OK to be fair; I'm a huge Real Estate fan, and loved seeing them live once again. Besides the lead guitar being a little loud it was a flawless performance. However, the opening acts, Regal Degal and Peking Lights, were both incredibly underwhelming and at some points terrible. In retrospect however I think it was more of the fault of the technical team, since listening to RD's recordings, they are a pretty good band, but with the lack of sound control (drums were overpowering everything) and the lack of any dynamic lights, standing through them was tough. Speaking of lights, the following act, Peking Lights had a nice beat, but again with static lights and with what, in my opinion, killed the vibe, a female vocalist devoid of any stage presence, with soporific delivery of lackluster and repetitive lines. On top of that, again, it just seemed that the engineers just didn't care about the opening acts and just totally shot them to hell with some of the most half-hearted excuse for live sound I've ever seen. That or RD and PL need to work on their live aspect because it was almost unbearable. Real Estate was great though.

This was my first time seeing Real Estate. I have most of their albums. The did not disappoint. Fantastic show, plenty of music and it looks like they enjoyed the show as much as we did. Terminal 5 was a great venue. It was a Thursday night, I didn't get home until 3am, and I had to do a presentation at work the next morning BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!

Real Estate put on a terrific show. The two opening bands were mediocre and forgettable but Real Estate stole the night with a set that was a good mix of their albums plus a new unreleased track. They were pretty relaxed and although the stage banter wasn't much of anything, the renditions of their songs was amazing. I love their records but this was music that's meant to be heard live. Had to Hear and Talking backwards are the two of my favorite numbers!! Would recommend their live performances any day!!

Amazing concert. perfect sound, perfect vocal, all my favourite songs. 5 stars

What a show....Real Estate killed it Saturday night. Already looking forward to seeing them again. Highly recommend seeing them, the harmonious solos to extend songs were absolutely incredible!!!

Each song was like falling in love all over again. Real Estate has such an amazing sound, not to mention quality of performance and professionalism. Needless to say, I was super impressed - my only complaint was that it was too short! Would see them again any day.

Awesome venue, great playlist, and an even better band! One of the best shows I've ever been to.

This show was outstanding. They had an amazing performance and I wish I went the night before as well.

Having seen these boys several times over their career, it is always refreshing to see them again. They are at ease and somewhat engaging. Alex the bassist loves to needle Boston crowds with talk of the hated New York Giants and Yankees but it's all in good fun. Maybe these guys are too low key but I have always left their concerts in a good mood. They are truly craftsmen with guitars but I think it's time to retire Alex singing his song "Wonder Years". The song sounded OK from the studio recording but live he does not have the voice to carry it. He should stick to bass and leave the vocals to others. Just my 2 cents worth.

Great band, great venue. Food was delicious, drinks were reasonably priced.

Real Estate is one of my very favorite bands, and in all the times I've seen them live, they've never disappointed. The stage was lit pretty cute and summery with fairy lights, and they of course played a great set. The only complaints I have are in regards to the venue, Webster Hall. The were some feedback issues throughout the set, and also I think there's a club in the basement because the floor was thudding from the bass and that was pretty annoying. All of that being said, Real Estate is an incredible band and if you like them, you should definitely see them next time they're near you.

It was great to see Real Estate headlining a show at a larger venue. I've seen them open for Dr. Dog & Bright Eyes and The Shins, but this was the first time I was able to see them really have room to breathe. Great live show.

Real Estate created a positive vibe at Webster Hall, particularly after R Stevie Moore's eclectic set left much of the crowd looking at one another in confusion (both good and bad, but evident, nonetheless.) The guys played like they genuinely were enjoying themselves which made the entire experience that much nicer. The crowd was one of the friendlier, politer I've experienced at NYC show. All around good band, good time.

Mics were hot, the lead singer's voice was...average. Songs sounded exactly like the album - take from that what you will.

These guys are phenomenal live. Great crowd and a great mid-sized venue to house this real intimate show. Real Estate played a great mix of their two albums, mixing slower paced songs like "Green Aisles," "Out of Tune," and "Suburban Dogs" with fast paced ones such as "It's Real" and "Fake Blues." The turning point of the show was a new song I didn't know. They continued to jam out with their unique surfy chill style for awhile, and it really was awesome. They did likewise on the song "All the same," and I really enjoyed these songs. Altogether they did a really good job, and I will make sure to catch their show whenever I can.

the two opening acts were flat out awful. and the band did not start until 11 when the show started at 9. we had to wait through TWO HOURS of crap that hurt to listen to.

Real Estate put on a terrific show. The Twerps opened and were one of the better opening acts I've seen in years. Real Estate stole the night with a set that was a good mix of their two albums plus a new unreleased track. They were pretty relaxed and although the stage banter wasn't much of anything, the renditions of their songs was amazing. I love their records but this was music that's meant to be heard live. The show closed with both bands playing a cover of New Zealand legends The Clean. Great night!

It wasn't bad, but I was really hoping for a better show. I was talking with a friend at the concert, and we discussed how you couldn't hear the complexity of the layers and it wasn't nearly as satisfying listening to Real Estate live as it was listening to their album. I love Real Estate, and I was disappointed by the show. It was just OK. Probably my least favorite concert so far this year.

This band is tight! Happy Birthday Martin!!! What an amazing show!

The venue was small but really comfortable. Real Estate put on a great show, it was great to see them up there and just jamming. The openers were pretty good, but not comparable to Real Estate.

Great collection of songs! Very friendly crowd also.

Brighton Music hall was a great, small venue for an intimate and melodic show. Real Estate is just perfect. So good. Felt lucky to be there.

a fun bunch of guys who are putting together some amazing music. The sound was really good, and they kept it really tight through the whole performance. They played a great setlist, and didn't mess around too long before coming out for an encore, which I for one appreciate since work in the morning is a cold hard fact.

Great show. I really like the small venue when seeing shows so this was great. Liked the opening band The Cuffs too.

Real Estate is a great band. Brighton Music Hall is a great venue (first time I'd been).

Real Estate was very good but they only played for one hour and five minutes...
