Loved every minute of it! When I saw that he was going to be coming to my town, I tried to buy tickets, but could not find any two seats together. I actually bought a solo ticket and came by myself and had the best time ever! If he comes to Seattle again, I will try to get a couple of tickets sooner, but if I can’t, I will come by myself again!!
Sophie and her band gave a charming & energetic performance! She interacted with the audience and sang her heart out, she is both talented and fun :)
We would definitely gladly attend one of her concerts again!
On the other hand, The Moore Theatre needs ventilation, deep cleaning and new carpet/upholstery— the smell and lack of ir circulation makes attending this venue an uncomfortable experience.
Older guy here- I'd gotten into these guys' albums during Covid. Ended up grabbing all of them. Live, these guys are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. The band absolutely keeps an audience on their feet the entire show and it makes me remember what ROCK SHOWS were like when I was a kid. Now, it's basically people staring at their phones throughout the show, barely bothering to pay attention to the bands, and yapping all the way through the show. I'd quit going to concerts because it was such a drag.
On a wild hair, I'd decided to catch their show at the Moore in Seattle and was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY. Whatta great live act! GO SEE THEM. Lead vocalist, Luke Spiller, works the crowd all night and he never missed a note vocally. I've watched a lot of their shows on YouTube (after the show I saw) and the guy is absolutely consistent. The entire band was on their game and the audience had a blast. So much fun and glad I caught these guys. They've been around quite a while and it's great that America is finally waking up to them.
Well, first of all it was DWEEZIL Zappa, not Frank. Like seeing Frank tho, this show challenged me to be an active listener, and made me realize how vast the Zappa catalog is - and how little of it I know. The band is dynamic and entertaining, and seem to be in lock step with one another. The solos were fire! Highlights for me were a blistering Trouble Every Day, and Zombie Woof to close it out. Highly recommended to see Dweezil and his band if they come to your town!
Joe Jackson's final US tour date for 2 Rounds of Racket finished up in Seattle at the Moore Theater on July 1st. The first half of the show was Joe by himself on the piano, starting out with the song "Dave" from the Fool album. Real Men and Steppin' Out delighted the crowd. The second half of the show had Joe backed by an amazing 9 piece band. The Max Champion material was very well received, and the band's performance of Is She Really Going Out With Him brought the crowd to its feet. Worse Things Happen At Sea was the perfect closer. Excellent show!!!!
The concert with Zakir Hussain was one of the most amazing concerts I have ever been to ever!! He is one of the most amazing musicians on the planet and he has been my teacher for fifty years now!! I have been to many, many of his concerts and they are always amazing. I just love everything he does and he gets more amazing every year. We are very lucky to have him come to The Moore Theater as often as he does. It’s always totally amazing. Thank you Moore Theater for having him play so many concerts here!!
I've always liked the Moore Theatre and Gov't Mule is a damned good band. Last time I saw Warren Haynes was about 20 years ago at The Gorge. He was the stand-in for Jerry and also the lead guitar of the Allmans. He was a busy boy, but didn't skip a lick. Last night him and his boys blew me away!
This was such an amazing show! Jenny Oaks Baker and her children are extremely gifted and I could see the love they have for each other and for the Lord through their music and the many times they looked at each other as they played. There was definitely a special atmosphere from the moment I stepped into the theater until the moment I left. What a wonderful gift Jenny and her family are giving to celebrate the Christmas season and bring joy to people all over! Divinely inspired and beautifully shared. Thank you for helping me celebrate my anniversary AND start the Christmas season out so perfectly!

This concert was hilarious, intense, emotional, and absolutely beautiful.
What an amazing crowd of people, too. Right before Amigo went on, a couple came up to us and offered us a better pair of seats because their friends were sick and did not attend - moving us from Row X to row D, just a short distance from the stage. We thanked them profusely and had a nice chat with them on the way out of the theater as well.
Danny (Amigo the Devil’s lead) is the most involved and personable musician I think I have ever had the honor of seeing in concert. He made jokes between songs and really connected with the entire audience. He expressed massive gratitude for the support and even mentioned he felt he didn’t deserve all of it. What a lovely human he is and what an absolutely immeasurably wonderful concert that was - probably even my favorite of all that I have seen this far!
I will see them in concert again someday.
“Someone should call the cops, I’m killin’ it”
Hayes was fantastic! We needed more of him! Patty’s vocals were clearly affected. Her two opening numbers were hard for the audience to settle into as they were so different from her existing songs. She has great stage presence and her to backup artists were really good and supported her well. I’ve seen Patty 4 other times, this was the first time she didn’t hold her own. She should have brought Hayes back up to do some songs together, that would have blown the doors off. Allison Moore, also fantastic! From our experience, Hayes and Allison should have been the headliner or on equal footing.
Without expectation too high, due to the year and lack of original members, I was still let down overall. Im a superfan who still listens to their first gen EP’s and Album, there is so much beautiful work. The main problem was Andrew’s signing. I don’t know if he just can’t sing the notes anymore, or if he just felt like growling…but there was very little resembling the recordings. then there was the uber cleche band mates…the lack of instrument leveling and sound balance… to top it off, instead of slowing the original 80s tempo, and highlighting the beauty and darkness within the songs, someone thought it was a good idea to speed up the tempo instead, you know, make it more “dancy”. Ugh. The song they played closest to the original was Temple of Love, and without the cheesy female vocalist that the remaster imposed upon us. Now I will have to try to erase these things from my mind when I listen lol. still love you guys anyway!
Ruban's solos were flawless. So were the keys. If you appreciate hard work and talent, and a sound that shows how to effectively mix seemingly fractured and incompatible music genres, this band deserves to be followed. This is difficult music to play at all, let alone live. My only regrets were that they never played "We're not in love, we're just high," and that they played "Meshuggah" instead of "In the Rear View," which I think is a better song off the new album. But the former song is growing on me. And I think that Layla makes a strong contender for the song that hits hardest live from the new album. It really stood out to me; if the guitar effect and hook from "That Life" wasn't so great AND did not sound even better live than on record, Layla would have become my favorite song (from album V) after tonight. But "Nadja" sounded even better live, too. They're definitely one of those bands that would be interesting to keep tabs on what their nightly set list is, because they can go in so many different directions.
Worth every penny and then some! Jake is so talented. This was the second concert of his that we attended and what an amazing show. The acoustics of Moore Theater was spectacular! The seats were as small as main cabin airline seats, but we had no one in front, behind, or next to us so we scored! We will definitely attend his future concerts.
Incredible show! Cory is a consummate showman and musician! The set list ranged from Vulfpeck favorites ("Let's Go" from the album "Wong's Cafe") to surprising covers ("Kenni and the Jets", starring saxophonist Kenni Holmen). Every musician on stage could absolutely shred, and each had multiple opportunities to shine. Petar Janjic is one the best and most entertaining drummers I've ever seen. Special guest Sierra Hull was unbelievable on mandolin! The venue is just the right size, with enough of a crowd to roar approval, but small enough so that we could stand right at the edge of the stage with several hundred of our friends! If you're a musician, you owe it to yourself to see this show! (And if you're not... you should still see it!)
DKM were high energy, lots of fun, great atmosphere, good story telling, and very much a crowd pleaser. Would go see them again in a heartbeat. Very good opening acts Jaime Wyatt & Jesse Ahern both did a great job. Typically not my kind of music that I go out to see, but I was throughly entertained the whole night.
I love this band and appreciate the opportunity to have a meet and greet, but would’ve LOVED being able to take pictures with Justin. We respect the choice made by him and/or the venue to deny any cameras and/or video-taping but it would’ve been a real treat. All the best to Justin and the ENTIRE Blue October Band 💙🎶🙏🏼 Can’t wait for the next show!
Love this band so much and definitely love that I got to see them with the original singer because let's face it Skye is the business! I'd swear that there was only two or three songs that I didn't recognize. Got a lot of my favorites off Parts of the Process which I was very very pleased with.
Finally got to see these guys last night. So worth it, incredibly tight performance! Highly recommended. Drummer is a fucking beast. Catch this tour even if you have qualms about direction of their return LP. Set list leans heavy on first couple of albums. Left some of my favs off of albums 3 & 4 but what can you expect when song length is exploratory? Technical and inspired, worthy of your money and a night out. Welcome back TMV, still a boss
Beat show I’ve seen in a long time! Billy stole it! He played super well and locked in with the rest of the band and seemed to be having a ton of fun. Ian hit all the notes and was his usual full tilt front man self engaging the crowd every song. John Tempesta glued it all together, kept solid time and ‘layed down the map’ for everyone. The sound was very clear. Great job!
This was THE BEST Concert I’ve ever been too, and I’m not “young”. This was a mind blowing MUST SEE event. Don’t be late, the opening acts were like the best foreplay for Metric. By the time Metric came on, I couldn’t believe there was more, I was in music ecstasy! Please GO!
