It is always easy to write up a review for Mr Ross because he never disappoints. The collaborations on the Beautifully Broken tour are absolutely amazing. Mr Ross is giving 100% to each performance and still maintains his character of kindness and care towards his fans. I encourage anyone who enjoys music and Sound from someone's heart to do your best to attend an event whenever you can
Raine Maida and his friends were amazing!
The concert was a good length. The set list was great (I would have possibly switched out a couple of songs possibly) the light show was amazing, and the surprise switch to the piano at the back of the venue was breathtaking (I was 10 feet from Raine!!!!).
MY only problem was the price of consumables. $8.50 for a Redbull? It broke my cheap heart
When Sarah said "Welcome to the best show you will ever see" she was right. Opening for Kings of Leon? I would have happily watched Phantogram perform for 4 hours straight and skipped the "main act" entirely.
The sound was perfect, the instruments, the vocals, all of it was tight for a live event on a Monday night no less. Their performance of Black Out Days brought tears to my eyes.
The show itself was like an exercise in performance art with emotionally charged powerful music backing it.
Would I see them again? Absolutely
Should you see them? Absolutely!
It was my first show in the pit and it was absolutely amazing. Truly transcendent. The community truly made it such an amazing experience. Hozier is truly a bard and poet who can speak life into the world. ❤️🩵💖
At Rogers Place on Thursday night for the Rebel Yell Canada 2024 tour, the singer and his longtime guitarist Steve Stevens took a six-piece band through a set of hits and deep cuts from the now 40-year-old album, interspersed with a few other notable songs from his career.
Idol had no intention of giving up the goods right at the start. The band kicked off with (Do Not) Stand in the Shadows, an overlooked track from Rebel Yell, before dipping into radio standby Cradle of Love. Flesh For Fantasy was where the run of hits kicked off, the audience heartily singing along to the anthemic chorus. Cage, a more recent number that Idol explained as a reaction to the Covid-19 lockdown, was mind-numbing alt-rock landfill.
Idol’s voice was phenomenal!!! By the time Idol brought the band into full lockstep groove with Mony Mony you could see hints of the young Idol peeking through. Stevens had his moment in the spotlight with the requisite solo guitar, plucking acoustic for a few flamenco exercises that felt like he was impressing everyone at the music shop. Genuinely a great guitarist, but you have to wonder what purpose this serves beyond allowing the singer a rest.
Openers Platinum Blonde were a perfect fit as the evening’s warm-up act.
Now pared down to a three-piece with vocalist Mark Holmes taking on bass duties, they’re still happily dishing out their ‘80s hits. It seemed like they had an unending well to draw from, and Thursday night’s 40-minute show gave you every single inescapable song from Canadian radio: Situation Critical, Crying Over You, Standing in the Dark, Doesn’t Really Matter. From one perspective they all blended into a single song with endless choruses, but from another the band was tight, Holmes was a stage dynamo, and Sergio Galli a rock on guitar. Holmes sound remarkable!! Hasn’t missed a beat since the 80s….Well one song…he openly admitted to making a mistake, but it’s LIVE. What do you expect.
Awesome show / nice to see different dynamics of people at said concert. Trying to hold onto old school - everyone standing, clapping, dancing, just about the music.
Lots people not keen on hockey going on at same time in the ice district. New people visiting not knowing how to get into said show.
Yet an awesome show - Headpins - wow. Foreigner - awesome. Yep old school.
such a good show!! Noah puts on such a wholesome performance! so fun, crowd was lively, full of great people, and the whole stadium was so loud singing along with him the whole time! super cool :)
I have always thought Jensen was an incredible songwriter with an amazing voice since I have followed her on TikTok. She proved she is even better than I even thought in a live show as her voice is unexplainably gorgeous. She has a powerful voice. I know she’s newer to the live music scene so I believe her stage presence (her self intro, audience interaction, etc.) can definitely improve but that will come with time, I can’t wait to see how she grows. Beautiful work Jensen, I was a fan before, I’m even more of a fan now.
DM was great. Sound was awesome, band was energetic, drummer was killer, Dave’s & Martin’s stage presence was on point, set list was excellent. This was my first time seeing them and would definitely do so again.
The opener, Young Fathers, was garbage. Sound was muddy and they seemed to rely a lot on backing tracks. One of the singers developed a sour attitude toward the audience. Shook his head a few times, called us out, then later abruptly dropped the mic and walked off stage in a huff.
honestly incredible work by the boys! props to them for putting on an awesome show. can’t imagine how much effort they have to put in to be able to put on a show of that length and maintain the hype energy the whole time! had a great time and it was definitely worth it! :)
I’ve been to Bullet for my Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold this year and the Atreyu/Iron Maiden show was ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!! GREAT fucking show and I can’t wait to see them again even if I have to travel out of Canada HELL FUCKING YEAH I will!
I forgot how much I love Nickelback! I thought it would be fun to bring my son to this concert and hadn’t heard their music in a long time, and was able to sing along to the lyrics of most of their older songs without hesitation. It was not only nostalgic for me, but also a bonding experience over good music with my teen. Not to mention, Chad is fun and the whole band was super entertaining. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Thanks for coming to Edmonton and giving us a fabulous show 🥰😊
Even with a bit of cough/throat issue Lee Brice and his band were fabulous! He did some older stuff mixed with new stuff to satisfy all fans. They played as long as time would allow and he really left it all out there for the fans! I've seen him before and once again, he sure didn't disappoint!!
Amazing show! Saw them open for Kenny Chesney twice (Seattle 2018 & Bozeman 2022), and became a big fan of their music, so when they finally came to my hometown I had to get tickets. Was not disappointed at all. Old Dominion knows how to put on one hell of a show. I can't wait to see them again.
Opening bands were fine. Nice to see female-fronted groups being given an opportunity to play major venues.
Greta Van Fleet was a mixed bag. They play well enough but could benefit from a little restraint. Seemed like every third song -- and there were only 12 in the whole concert -- had a 10-minute guitar solo. Yeah, we get it, you can shred. It gets pretty old about 45 mins in. Song choice was a little unusual also. They of course played the three big hits from their debut EP and a couple of stand outs from their following full-length album. Oddly enough they omitted the best two songs from "Anthem of the Peaceful Army" ("When the Curtain Falls" and "Mountain of the Sun") and the single-best song from either LP ("My Way, Soon"). Instead we got some middling tracks that seemed selected to provide a venue for meandering improvisation.
The audience would have benefitted from less self indulgence and more showmanship.
My favourite singer of all time. He was a joy to listen to, as always, but the show was quite short (five songs or so) and it was part of the "before" of the show, which meant that no one was quiet or sitting down.
That doesn't suit his music AT ALL, and so the emotions were lost in the hubub.
His stage set up was so flawless to who he is as a performer, and they had beautifully choreographed lights with their songs.
I want to tell the drummer that I'm sorry, I'm not an idiot, I knew you were throwing me that stick and I froze!! I'm so embarrassed. Thank you, I appreciate it, maybe next time my arms will work.
Great show!! I love the heavy and melodic vocal mix with the crazy drums and lots of heavy guitar.
I miss it soooo much!! Her vocals were INSANE! She also made me feel even closer to her than before. She’s such a huge idol of mine and let’s just say I cried sooooo many times at her show. It was waterworks everywhere. I highly recommend going to Ariana. 😊👑
John never disappoints! This is the 3rd time I've gotten to see him live, he sticks to a very tight set and plays all the hits! Doesn't play too many Creedence deep cuts. (Also he's told the same Woodstock story about the Grateful Dead every time I've seen him haha)
The Show was awesome! Would have been better if Rogers would’ve set up Concessions and Bathrooms for their Floor customers on the GD Floor level! Instead they made run up and down the stairs past my “premium” aisle seats, literally shocked none of them fell
