I absolutely love him sm. Me and my gf went to firefly JUST to see him and he got “rained out” . We waited to long for him to come to Boston he was late to this show. Next time it NEEDS to go smooth, Boston take two? Please! He killed it and would see him again and again hands down.
First time seeing Jack White. 6 new songs played from “No Name” - AMAZING! The rest of the show was a non-stop rock-n-roll clinic spanning his entire career. Barely any time between songs. No banter, just on to the next song. Whatever Jack feels like playing he just calls it out to the band and they go. I love that spontaneity. So rare for concerts these days. I’ve never seen such a fast-paced show. It went by SO FAST!
This concert exceeded all my (very high) expectations. Jack is obviously a pro, but his band and the crew are all top notch. The crew even have uniforms, and it’s a good thing. You can tell by the end product that everyone is ALL IN.
Final note, Roadrunner is a fantastic venue.
Ahhhh the hives...it's so hard to find the exact words to describe just how good they are. It's something you must experience live, or your life just will never be complete...no matter the size of the crowd, Pelle and the boys put on a show that demands attention...I hadn't seen them since 2001 in Boston when they were supporting the "Veni Vidi Vicious" album...a small voice in my head was saying...what if they aren't that good anymore.....boy oh boy was that voice wrong...go see them as many times as you can....they will never dissapoint
Completely at a loss of words to describe how amazing this show was. It was absolute fire and hardcore AF!!
Wage War and Erra went super hard and the crowd was the embodiment of peak Metalhead energy and insanity.
The audience devolved into an insane moshpit of endless crowd surfing, headbanging, and losing their minds the entire show.. all the way till the last song and the encore at 10.30 PM.
Every performer gave it their all, as did every audience member.
By far one of the best concerts I've attended.
I have seen Andrew play in his other bands a few times, but I had never seen Something Corporate before. They put on a great show and played pretty much every song of theirs including their new single and a cover that was very fun to see in Boston. The visuals and throwbacks were really cool, including their merch. I hope they keep touring and releasing new music. https://www.layriotta.com/2024/08/31/something-corporate-roadrunner/
I was so taken with Luke's first EP, discovering his music before knowing he was even in Yellowstone, I just had to see him live on his first ever tour. Flew from the UK especially for the show in Boston, a decision I'll be forever grateful I took. Luke really is a superb musician, performer and vocalist and writes the most beautiful songs. He and his band put on one hell of a show. Highly recommend everyone seeing him live.
It was ok. Amy is great; she’s a natural performer. It was way, way too loud though. I know all of their songs and could barely tell them apart. The bass player did a lot of talking and I could understand a single word he said. The opening band was a disaster. Their singer lost her voice, the lead guitarist broke a string (and only owns one guitar) and the drum kit literally fell apart. They spent as much time playing as fixing equipment and by the time the Sniffers came out, I was kind of over it.
Polyphia show at the Roadrunner | Boston, MA. Best show of the year so far. The music was top notch. The room was entranced in each song. Even the mosh pit paused from time to time to reflect in just how awesome the musical experience was. The only regret was the artists they recorded with were not able to attend the show and lend a legitimate voice to the listeners.
And then there was the light show. Rain trickled down the cage surrounding the drummer. Fog floated across the stage whipping around as the performers moved with the music. Fire shot up the same cage. Green lines of mtge matrix split the screen for a second. It was a mesmerizing view that competed with the music for the viewers attention often times falling just short of their musical Mastery. And they accomplished it all without saying a single syllable. A complete masterpiece without speaking. Thank you Road Runner. Thank you fans. And thank you Polyphia.
Loved their set and the vibes! Thought it was so interesting/unique to just see them rip and transition through songs in the set without talking to the crowd in between songs like vocalists would, though there was still some occasional nonverbal interaction between the band and the crowd.
Roadrunner is also a really cool, modern, industrial venue. We found a great view of the stage with just GA floor tickets.
The show was amazing! There is parking very convenient to the venue, as well as a restaurant! The only problem I have with the venue is the smoking policy. Apparently New Balance owns most of the street, and there are only certain sections of the street that you can smoke. If you smoke, there is no "backdoor" to go out and have a cigarette, which was very disappointing. There is a restaurant right next door, that serves alcohol. Inside the venue, is a huge bar. It's unfortunate that there is no place to have a cigarette. But it is ok to vape right on the floor. Would I go back, probably not.
As usual Bad Omens have astounded us with their perfection as musicians/artist on stage at Road Runner in Boston on Saturday, September 16, 2023.
I have seen Bad Omens many times, and each time I see them , the shows just get better and better. They truly deserve all the recognition that they are receiving. I believe they will be one of the biggest bands around.
Amazing show. She is so authentic talented and beautiful. Added so much real on the spot down to earth touches including a gender reveal, another fan on stage, and a first time ever performance from her early days about her grandfather. Sang live and sounded like gm better than studio sound! Dream of meeting her one day!!! BPM -NH (Boston show)
The show was great! My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. Myles has such an awesome voice and didn't miss a note. The opening acts (Mammoth WVH & Red) were great too. Very energetic.
The venue is intimate enough to get a close look at the band but big enough to allow a sizeable crowd inside. It is mostly standing room, but there are some sitting spaces upstairs. There are also folding chairs available for handicapped/disabled individuals.
Be aware: restrooms in this venue are not labeled female/male. Anyone can go into any restroom. Personally, I don't care, but I know some people do, so I'm putting it out there.
Just wow! Myles and band are just amazing and at the top of their game! Myles’ voice just touches me deep to my soul! Keep ‘em coming back Roadrunner! As for the venue!!! It is awesome! Not a bad spot to be had and the sound system was top notch. I felt every ounce of that bass, it was perfect! And opening act, Mammoth WVH….first class! Wolfie you rock! Another beautiful song writer. Myles and Wolf…when are you two getting together?
My fifth time seeing this amazingly energetic and talented English rockers and this show was the best hands down. The Roadrunners sound system is amazing which helps. Yanis and the Foals are under appreciated in the US I’m said to say. With their music and talent they should be filling arenas, but I feel privileged to see them in such a intimate place like the Roadrunner.
New venue, pretty big. Co-Ed bathrooms were slow. Access getting in was quick, no delays thru security scanners. Parking is easy big garage next to the place. Upstairs balcony viewing was nice, although not a bad spot throughout venue. Sound was really good for Microwave’s set, although a little too loud for Knuckle Pucks -sounded distorted. Missed opener, and left before seeing 4 year ( we really were just there for Microwave and Puck). All in all good stuff!
Fred was great.
Crowd was a bunch of yahoos who thought they were at a rave. They weren't.
Fred plays a proper show with highs and lows and the one time he asked everyone to be as quiet as possible during "Heavy" absolutely no one shut up. Bunch of bros and show pony girls whipping you with their hair.
Sadly the crowd does matter at a show and they really sucked the fun out of it.
Remi’s energy is great but I have to dock half a star due to her short set list. It was a sold-out concert and she only sang 10 original songs. There was 1 cover and 1 slot for her drummers’ “positive affirmations” schtick, which they did last tour. Usually main acts’ sets are 15 mins longer than hers was. Also — 5 people passed out at this show. Please stay hydrated, Remjobs!
Great venue. Very spacious. 2 gender neutral bathrooms with plenty of stalls. Loved the side rails with a spot to put drinks. Drinks were average Boston prices ($21 for a double). Absolutely no cell service but that's okay. Didn't get a chance to check out the view from the 2nd level but it looked awesome. No wait to get in the venue, security was nice but thorough with metal detectors.
Incredible performance from Bastille first time seeing the band live. Exceptional instrumental talent from all of the band members. Dan’s voice is fantastic to hear live finally can’t wait for the next show. The first show I’ve seen at Roadrunner is such a lovely venue. I only wish there was a giant overhead fan as the venue got really hot as the night went on.
