Climate Pledge Arena

I was at the Bonamassa concert in Seattle. I have listened to this artist for many years and love his work in the blues and rock. No question he is a great artist and I admire that he has control of his work and concerts. Having said that, this concert was a disappointment because the volume was so high that there was lots of distortion, my ears were ringing and it was uncomfortable. We had seats in the back which may have increased the distortion. I am a senior citizen, but in my younger days, have attended concerts with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, James Taylor, Eric Clapton and others but it has never been this loud. Respectfully, please turn it down a little, so we can enjoy your fabulous talent. Thank you.

Joe is fantastic. His backup band is terrific, his singers are fabulous, and you can never tell what guitar is coming out next. They had fun on stage and that makes the show much better. There are musicians whose shows are primarily pyro displays and stunts; that's not what Joe does. He's the real deal--no drama, just great music delivered enthusiastically. And he is at the top of the list of today's great musicians even while Clapton's hanging in and Buddy Guy's hanging on. Those elder statesmen have made huge contributions to the blues but Joe's the one touring relentlessly, making new music, and collaborating with other great artists (listen to his solo on Mindi Abair's "Pretty Good for Girl": it's a 40-second break that will knock you down). He's the king of the blues--see him when you can. I'm going to call out Climate Pledge arena for a cheap, uncomfortable folding chair in row 1 on the floor. This was a pricey ticket and the venue is responsible. We were packed in--when one person moved, the other 39 moved too. The nosebleed seats were more comfortable!

Phantogram’s set was stunning. Each & every song delivered the full vivid intensity that makes their music so special. Sarah’s emphatic, captivating vocals and stage presence dovetailed perfectly with Josh’s complementary vocals, wry smile, and high kicks. We only wish their set could have been longer. Our GA pit tickets made for an unforgettable experience. We were first in line when the doors opened, and only ended up behind a couple rows of fans who’d bought VIP tickets with early floor access. We didn’t stay for the Kings of Leon set, opting to keep Phantogram’s performance freshest in our minds. Glad we did this. Hopefully Phantogram returns to Seattle soon after their new album is fully released. Next time Phantogram has a headline tour, we will probably try to attend back to back shows in Seattle, Portland, Spokane, and Vancouver, BC.

few reasons it’s getting a three star. one the show was supposed to start at 7:45 but we didn’t even get let into the building until 8 even though russ was telling them to open the doors. two security was very rude and unhelpful when trying to ask questions or directions. and lastly this is one of the worst sounds in a venue i’ve ever experienced, there was a constant echo of the performers voice that was so loud you couldn’t ignore it and i can even hear it in all the videos i took. overall the experience was okay, russ performed amazing but the venue failed in many ways.

The song "Black" put me into an emotional state as soon as the first chords resonated through the arena. The anticipation and excitement that had been building all night culminated in this moment, and Pearl Jam did not disappoint. It was a performance that transcended time, tapping into a well of nostalgia that took me back to my teenage years when their music was the soundtrack to so many pivotal moments. Seeing Pearl Jam live has always been on my bucket list, and the experience was everything I had hoped for and more. Eddie Vedder’s voice was as powerful and haunting as ever, delivering each lyric with an intensity that connected deeply with the audience. The band’s chemistry on stage was palpable, and they played with a raw energy that made it hard to believe they’ve been at this for over three decades. The setlist was a perfect blend of classic hits and newer songs, ensuring that both long-time fans and newer listeners had something to revel in. Tracks like "Alive," and "Jeremy" had the crowd singing along in unison, creating a communal atmosphere that was electric. The band's performance was tight and dynamic, showcasing their musical prowess and the reason they have remained relevant for so many years. What stood out most was the sense of connection – not just between the band members, but with the audience. Eddie Vedder’s heartfelt anecdotes and interactions with the crowd made the large venue feel intimate. It was clear that this was more than just a concert; it was a shared experience, a journey through memories and emotions that left everyone in attendance feeling a little more connected, a little more human. The evening was a beautiful reminder of the power of live music and the timeless nature of Pearl Jam’s artistry. It was a night filled with nostalgia and a sense of fulfillment, ticking off a major item on my bucket list in the most spectacular way possible. This was not just a concert; it was a celebration of music, memories, and the enduring spirit of one of the greatest bands of all time.

Absolutely phenomenal show! Beautiful costumes, incredible dancers, and mind blowing sets just added such magic to Melanie's otherworldly talent!! I have always enjoyed her music now and then since seeing her on the voice years ago, but after attending her show with my daughter (who has absolutely adored her for years), I have such a greater admiration and respect for her work! Truly artistically talented in so many ways... the songs, her beautiful voice, infectious energy and joyful stage persona, along with the mix of stunningly beautiful and fantastically creepy moments, the whole experience was more than I ever imagined! Thank you for a truly incredible night of wonder and enchantment!

I love FOB and was super excited for this show!! I have to say that the production was amazing. Cool sets, loved the fireworks and flames. However, the sound mixing was absolutely terrible. You could hardly hear Patrick over the music. The drums were WAY too loud and overpowered everything (also an issue for Jimmy Eat World) and it honestly sounded like some of the microphones cut out at times and the speakers for the vocals had a sound like they were blown out. Overall the music was much louder than the vocals for the entire show. Sometimes it was impossible to tell until 10-15 seconds in what song they were even playing. I mean, it was just truly awful sound mixing. By the end of the show, the last couple of songs just sounded like loud noises. Overall I had a great time with friends and it was a fun show production-wise, but I would think twice about seeing FOB live again in an arena setting because it was super disappointing to be unable to hear Patrick or the lyrics.

It is rare that a concert can be hyper-energetic, emotional, instructional, convicting, and massive fun all at the same time but that is how I would describe the experience I had with my daughters last night when we attended the Ben Tour at Climate Pledge Arena. Macklemore was obviously enjoying every minute of performing in his home town, but more than doing exactly what he loves to do, he was sharing his hard-won wisdom and open, loving heart with 14,000 people, who, I am sure, felt the same authenticity and vulnerability coming from him that I did. The camera work that accompanied the live action was expertly managed to enhance the overall experience, and the guests who he shared the stage with were welcome additions in every single case. His generosity in collaborating with others is well-known and it pays off on a variety of levels. Overall, even though I was in the General Admission section on the floor and had to stand the entire night, it was utterly and entirely worth it! Great show! Great songs! Great artist! Great human!!

This was our 7th Old Dominion concert, but I will admit, it was my least favorite. We’ve bought VIP every single time we’ve had the opportunity and enjoyed our private performances- which really enhanced the connection that the guys always seem to have with the audience, which always seemed to lead to heavy fan interactions during the shows themselves, etc… This show everything just felt- for lack of a better word- forced. Matt didn’t seem to want to be there- almost like tour burn out?? Don’t get me wrong- they are INCREDIBLE live, and the performance itself was ON POINT. But they just didn’t show the genuine love to the fans that I’ve seen so many times before. It was disappointing because I am acutely aware of the energy that was missing from the show. I hope that connection they’ve always seemed to have in the past comes back the next time around… they have always been one of my favorite live performers because of it! 💖 (we attend 18-20 concerts overall a year.)

Ayron Jones, as always, was incredible! I give him 5 STARS!!! HOWEVER, the sound engineer at Climate Pledge was HORRIBLE. The sound was loud then soft and going in and out. Very frustrating for Ayron, I am sure. I believe that may be why he cut his set short - such a bummer. I have seen Ayron in several other venues, but have never experienced such bad sound as at Climate Pledge Arena. Very unprofessional on their part. So, I give the sound engineers at CLP 1 star... (therefore, 3 stars would be the average)

Can't even begin to describe how amazing and meaningful this show was; such an unforgettable experience... GVF performed as amazingly as ever and we got a front-row view of it! We were barricade on Sam's side, and honestly y'all, if you don't like to get crazy at concerts/have crippling social anxiety then I definitely recommend it; his vibes were more mellow and that's what really helped me enjoy the music and stay in the moment, so thanks Sam :) lol (And as they were closing and getting ready to exit the stage, Danny handed Sam a drumstick and he came down to GIVE IT TO ME - I still can't get over it and I never will... <3 )

The show was fantastic! My only complaints was that I had to pay for two parking spaces because despite the doors opening at 6:00 the Gem Parking Garage wouldn’t let us park until 6:00. Also, Climate Pledge Arena should relax the bag policy a bit. Other than those two issues, it was an amazing show and thanks to Robert and the band, it was affordable without all the hidden fees that come with a Ticketmaster event (which I refuse to pay for anyone when there’s nearly double the cost of the show in hidden fees.)

Loved the show. This was the fourth time I’ve seen Duran Duran and the first time seeing a show in the new climate pledge arena. The sound was great. Duran Duran was awesome as ever. The only critique I would say is that Chic with Nile Rodgers shouldn’t of been the first act to go on. We thought Bastille was going to be the first act, so we came in a little late and we ended up missing all of Chic and Nile Rodgers set. Please have Duran Duran play again at climate pledge. They have played smaller venues prior to this one in Seattle, and they are well deserving of a repeat concert at this venue. The fans will definitely come.

Favorite show of his in my 5th time going. Great atmosphere at Climate Pledge - easy to get in and out, clean, good concessions, no complaints for venue. The opener Alec Benjamin was... fine. There were I think some issues with his sound mixing, but his pitch he sings in doesn't make that easy combined with him fumbling over his too-wordy lyrics. Not terrible, but not great. John was fantastic. For 2 hours and 15 minutes over 28 songs, he captivated an entire arena. I got to hear 5 of my top 20 songs of his played live for the first time, including Tracing an unreleased B-side that almost no one else in the venue seemed to know. We got In Your Atmosphere with the full outro, Edge of Desire with an insane lights show, and when playing Changing on the piano he was at one point playing the electric guitar with his left hand while his right hand played the piano. Insane, magical, wonderful - an unforgettable experience.

Very funny. Show announced the day of & could not get into ticketmaster - message said we are experiencing technical issues - for hours. I got the notification for this concert literally a few hours before start time. Could not find this date/venue on any resale sites. Could not find actual tour dates info anywhere- all sites said his last concert on this tour was last week in California. Was there even really a concert here last night? If it was legit, would’ve been nice to know ahead of time, not a few hours before. But I don’t think I could’ve afforded Ticketmaster prices anyway if I had even been able to get on their site. They are a terrible service.

Opening act was entirely forgettable. Climate Pledge was less than half full five minutes before AF took the stage. A beautiful piano solo started things off. Great energy and skill from several band members got the show off to a positive, if not awesome start. With the cloud hanging over the band and a skeptical crowd, the show’s outcome hung in the balance. But professionalism and that amazing AF energy overcame the obstacles and the band and the crowd lifted each other to a frenzied and greatly enjoyable crescendo. Drummer, Jeremy Gara, multi player Richard Reed Perry and most of all, Regine really lifted the band and the crowd. Who knows what the future holds, but I’m really glad I was able to attend this show.

This concert was fantastic!! The only major compliant is that the damn Impossible stand was closed!!! Also, the second act Marina needs to lose the dang lights on the side because we paid really good money for our seats to the front side of the stage and could barely even see her or the first act Little Image. That was pretty bad! Nothing was said on tickets about having an obstructed view. Never would have bought seats there if Id have known. Would have went a bit further away from the stage just to not have those lights in the way. Luckily they removed them for Panic! Whew!!!

What can I say that hasent been said before about Maiden, they always deliver insane live shows and live up to the hype! Amazing setlist, having 3 new songs open the concert then play the old hits, the only one I didn't know was blood brothers but I really liked that song! Then having 2 encores with aces high being the last song was perfection! This band is so legendary that whenever they come to Seattle they sell out the place, Maiden fans are die hard, so am I and I will continue to see them if they play here again!🤘🤘🤘

I honestly I expected the stage show would be better after grey Day '21 and having a bigger venue and more tickets sold and it was expensive. But having said that it was very nostalgic to really just focus on the artists and their music and not some flashy show and seeing them kind of mosh around on stage just enjoying the energy. Just them, us and music that changed us. And as I looked around and watched people break into outs and even in all the seats jumping and headbanging and going OFF it was so intimate that way. The unity was clear. It was a real moment. No screens, no crazy stage no crazy props. Old school tiny hole in the wall venue vibes like back in the day. And I realized as the pits broke out that over the years I'd grown up with all the same headbanging, traumatized, hurt, strong people without knowing them at all. But they were there and they feel the pain so we all related and we all have been through it and are growing up and getting sober too. It's incredible to look out at a crowd of 30 year olds and feel like a huge family of teenagers, that you feel you've spent your formative years with and you don't actually know a single one of them. These shows are the moments I am home. It's the only time belonging has resonated with me.

Best visual and stage show I've ever seen. Well worth the money. Crazy to watch him go from Lace up to Mainstream Sellout but it suits him. I mean the actual show alone, music aside, was just amazing. So much energy and love. And then the music. MGK, WILLOW, and Avril Lavigne sound literally exactly the same live vs recorded. Absolutely amazed. Super cool also to have been at the show on the 20th anniversary of Avril's first single on her first album, Complicated. I'll tell ya it made me feel old but it was truly a full circle moment for my music journey and nostalgic. MGK even from the stage was so down to earth. It was almost like chilling with a friend who happened to play music that night. Very amazing. Impressed me and I've been to like over 100 shows now. He's come a long way.
