Amazing show!! So glad I got to catch Sum 41 on their final tour, one of the best shows I’ve seen them do! -the Interrupters were also stellar!
The YouTube theater was beautiful with great sound and visual accoutrements. Although the parking was expensive ($50), it was great to be able to park within walking distance to enjoy the show. Would definitely see a show here again!
Gregory was Great!!! Ray was good too! I’m more of a Gregory fan so I’m biased. The venue the Greek Theatre is a very cool little spot. However they put these pole markers up with blue squares at the top that have letters and numbers on them for showing the sections of seating. They leave them up during the show until the headliner starts which s really dumb. Greg and Ray were co-headliners and they left them up through half of Greg’s set. It is a total joke. If you’re sitting near one it can be a visual obstruction and ruin your experience. They have ushers so there’s no need to even have these ugly poles sticking up in peoples way. Not a very good idea GREEK THEATRE get rid of the dumb poles with blue signs.

Highly charged concert. Wished there was a dedicated spotlight on Dave Navarro because his riffs were awesome (as usual). Instead they had only one spotlight on Perry throughout the show, leaving the rest of the band in the shadowy darkness, it was hard to see them jam.
The venue is great, AC throughout, everyone there were nice and cool, the light show was fantastic during all the bands' performances (except for the above mentioned). I liked that once you get passed the outer perimeter check point with your ticket, you're allowed to go in and out on the main building or to the main (large) outside courtyard where they sold food (food trucks) and had alcohol vendors, you can find a secluded area to smoke outside too. Lines for the restrooms were long between shows, but if you go upstairs (the street level), lines were a lot shorter and faster. Security was ample, both private and with some LAPDs patrolling or stationed in 3s , so it felt safe.
Love and Rockets had a large following inside the show. Didn't know there was a third band that started at 7pm. Perry, as always, was a master of ceremony getting the crowd fired up, he even got off the stage and sang in the front row, shaking people's hands.
Wished Jane's played some newer songs...they didn't play not even one song from "The Great Escape Artist"
You can buy Tequila shots and beers for cheap in the venue's parking lot before the show from a few Hispanics pushing around carts with hotdogs and alcohol on ice.
Minus one star for keeping Dave in the dark during the entire show...mofo was rocking it hard!
Terrific show by a very special person. Perfect length of the show. I left right after Jewel was done. The seat was comfortable, the volume was good, not too loud. The drinks are very overpriced.
There were some annoying girls sitting next to me with their phones on maximum screen brightness. they kept taking photos of themselves watching the show and talking during some very quiet and thoughtful songs.
Thank you Derek and Hailey for a very wonderful evening. Derek is obviously the star of the show, but his wife is the soul of the show. The fact that you are out there dancing is amazing and gives people hope. Hope that even if something tramatic happens in our life, we can bounce back and continue living an amazing life.
I loved the comedic parts the best. Too often dance shows are all about sex sex sex and while you had some of that, it was just enough and not over the top. It is a show that we can bring our family to and I thank you for that.
All of the dancers were amazing and it was just fantastic
This was a great night of praise and worship. Erica Campbell, Tasha Cobb-Leonard, Israel Houghton, Jonathan Mc Ronalds and Jeklynn Carr all amazing artist. The Lord and the Holy Spirit were in our midst. I thank God and these artist for Shari g their God given gifts with the world. ONE HALLELUJAH was definitely offered up to God LOUD AND CLEAR LAST NIGHT!!!
Great band, great show, very disappointed in the YouTube theater, everybody has to stand up whenever somebody comes down the row. It’s very disappointing to see that they couldn’t give another two or 3 inches for people to be able to function but that’s corporate greed for you. and charging $45 to park to try to claw their $1.8 billion investment back doesn’t make it any more appealing, I’d rather drive to San Diego to see the same band for a fraction of the price and hassle, it was great hearing new order play all of their classics, but it was a relatively short set.
I loved the Entire show, the staff were really nice & helpful. Love the elevator 🛗 😍 and Tony!Toni!Tone! Was the Bizness. I heard every word & instrument that was sung or played. Just a note that it's difficult for the 3 tier to watch many things because of the 2 large black overheads blocking 🚫 the view of the stage & video's on stage.Someone may want to look into that & figure out a way in which it can be removed or downsized. That would make it perfect!! Thank you!!
Kenny Loggins initial comment was "you've got a nice little nightclub here" meaning the You Tube Theatre! Nice place, good sightlines, sound & lighting top notch, but the facility seemed a bit too unfinished (signage for restrooms missing, lack of inside refreshment/food locations, food trucks instead of usual snack bar type --- all seemed very temporary!!
Lastly, the opening act (which there set went about 45 mins. was longer than normal) came out on stage - unannounced - about 12 minutes BEFORE the scheduled start time for the show. Never seen that before as light & sound crews appeared to be caught off guard!!
After that strange beginning to the gig, Kenny Loggins did himself quite proud by doing a great very personal show as this was two shows away from the end of his touring after all these many years. Probably 4 or 5th time over his career that I've caught his act - always good. This was VERY GREAT and what a way to go out....
Man, LA's been Hooters-deprived for 30 years and, boy, did we feel it! Last night at the YouTube Theater? Pure 80s magic with a modern twist. Still can’t believe they weren't the headliners – these guys have still have the magic of Nervous Night. Here’s hoping they don’t keep us waiting another three decades! The Hooters, LA’s missed ya and we want more! 🤘
This concert will be hard to beat. They were unreal! This venue is perfect, too. If you get a chance to see the Flaming Lips lives, then do it! They out on an incredible show, they used the stage beautifully. Also, if there is a great artist playing at the You Tube theatre, then go see them!! Not a bad seat but definitely try to sit on the floor or in the 100’s section ;)
was really cool to see Dermot to have a ton of energy and go all out on some songs that aren't always up beat It made it a ton of fun. had a lot of drunk people around me but its what you expect at a concert. this guy is really amazing buy tickets when he comes buy you. Its a must!!!!
The concert was great. Had a great time would’ve gave me five stars but some security, Hispanic guy come telling me and my friend while we were standing looking through an opening with our food were, there was several Hispanic people there with food, he come up to us, he got a complaint. It’s always somebody trying to a police and always some racial stuff. I don’t know why we just can’t get along.
Seeing one of my favorite bands for the third time was great. My only critique is that the mics didn’t seem to be working or even on for Lonny and Jinnx. And we could hear Andy, but that wasn’t great either. I’m not going to blame the band, because I know that’s not their fault. Can’t wait to see them again when they come back to SoCal!
The B-52’s put on a good show as usual.
However, they played for 1 hour and 15 minutes to an almost a old out arena of 15,000.
Not really what I expect from a “Farewell Tour”.
Also the sound volume was so high at times that it was drowning out the tones of the music and vocals. The opening band (KC & The Sunshine Band) had no problems with their sound.
Hope that this is not the last time I see them live.
Super awesome show! They were fantastic! Also, I had never been to the YouTube Theater. It's really nice. The seats that we got was a bit of an obstructive view and the seats are not short people friendly, so if someone tall is sitting in front of you, it wi be tough to see but the sound quality was great. Also, the bathrooms are places in an odd place. They are right outside of the theater doors, so you definitely get a funneling of people coming out of the theater and the lines waiting for the bathrooms. So the layout is odd but the theater was nice. Again, just depends where you sit as to how your view will be. Phoenix was amazing though and I would definitely see them again.
This show was awesome except for the fact they started late and ended rather early and oddly. The band had already left the stage once then came back on to play African Postman in an encore, which was also the song they opened with. Then Winston hyped us all up asking if we wanted more and we all responded exuberantly. Then Winston proceeded to walk off the stage and the band then followed never to return to play more. Despite that it was Great! Winston played the congos at times on most or maybe all the songs and did some grooving too. He never let his dreads down which was the first time out of many shows that I had seen him like that. They played several songs from the Live in Paris lp. Since that is my favorite album I found this show better than the last one at the Hollywood Bowl.
The YouTube theater was an unbelievable venue. They thought of everything with that place including the amazing sound system and the huge screens that were projecting images of the band just as they looked on stage and with unrivaled clarity. Our seats were in the second row but I imagine if you were either in a back row or upper level you wouldn't even mind due to the giant screens.
The one thing I was disappointed in was that there was no merch being sold as I was looking forward to purchasing a tour shirt. Especially when I don't expect they will be touring out here in Cali again. One can only wait and hope they will be back. If they come back I would strongly recommend you go see them!!
Winston Rodney you are a force to reckon with. Thank you for so many great years and the many great songs that you have given us over the years!!
YouTube theater staff was amazing. Very knowledgeable. The venue was very clean and the process to get in was effortless. I did not like that my bag was just over the limit and I was sent to the locker to store my bag. It was $20 to store. And then I saw other attendees with bags bigger that were getting into the venue. I’ve seen Jack five times now. He was good and the drummer was amazing. But I felt like the last few times I saw him he was more on.
Okay, the venue is great. Excellent sound and lighting... easy process to enter and securing your cell phone in a locked pouch for the entire show. Many people waiting after the show to unlock your cell phone.
The show: Natalie Bergman and her band looked and sounded great, but I did not dig them... at all... more rock, less Jesus is my motto.
Jack White and his band were incredible. No set list, Jack picks what he wants to play as he goes along, and the band immediately play what he gestures... the band never missed a beat or a note, truly professional. Jack and the Band put on a good show. They conveyed a lot of passion and energy, they weren't just playing notes, they were feeling them and were moved by them.
The show was fantastic! My only complaint was that it seems the lighting director for Slash was also running the lights for the opening act, Dead Sara, and it seemed he had no clue as to how to run the lights for them. The lead vocalist was kept in the dark for most of their performance, which was such a shame because they were so good!
I had a great time though!
