The Strokes

My daughter and I saw Thundercat, Cage The Elephant, and The Strokes at the AmFam amphitheater in Milwaukee on Fri. July 17. Thundercat was really good, and Cage The Elephant was great as usual. However, The Strokes were disappointingly bad. Their lighting was low and dim, they barely interacted with the crowd, and their singer sounded terrible. I would not pay to see another concert by The Strokes.

Great lighting, great audio, great performance. Jules had great singing and it sounded just like the studio performance. Every song that they did was great and they did all of their biggest hits. It was such a fun concert that I had so much fun at!

Fan since 2002, seen 2 other shows from the crew in the last 8 years. This was by far their best performance. Sad that Nick V was not on the other axe, there were some noticeable differences for some songs. All together, these gents are at the top of their game. So many great songs can’t fit in the set list! Favorite tracks: One Way Trigger, Life is Simple in the Moonlight, Hard to Explain, Ode to the Mets

Line out the door was already across the street and circling the field when they opened. The openers sucked, especially Alex Cameron. Even if their act is a joke or parody or something like that it wasn’t funny or interesting, just felt like a waste of time, especially for the price. The strokes put on a fantastic show like I expected. Just wish they would have played The Modern Age since it’s my favorite song of theirs. Definitely glad I went though since I’ve been a fan so long and it was my first time seeing them.

Don't get me wrong, the band was on point, Julian's singing was awesome.... But, set was only an hour (extremely short for an arena concert), they didn't have any cameras and the stage was in darkness for the most of the concert, so you couldn't see the band performing, sorta defeats the point of seeing a band if you cant see them.

The Strokes were amazing. I can't even describe it best concert I have ever been to. I cried multiple times, and I couldn't believe they played drag queen and selfless. I was literally dying. Julian made eye contact with me and saw my sign. By the way, he even looks hotter in person. I'm not okay, guys ahhhhh how am I alive😭

My first time seeing them and I have been a huge fan for most of my life! I do have to say venue staff definitely didn’t seem like they even knew their was supposed to be an event. But The Strokes rocked it!!!

Amazing show. Second time seeing them and I definitely want to see them more. First show I was in GA and will say the mixing seems better in GA. Overall An amazing time in a great venue!

I love the band and their music, but it just wasn’t a great show. It was short, and the band really didn’t interact much with each other. It just felt like another show in a grind of shows that they are doing night after night. They kinda mailed it in. I don’t know if this was just a bad night, but most acts are pretty stoked to play Red Rocks, it is an iconic venue. The Strokes didn’t play like they were at Red Rocks, they were just kinda meh, to be honest. I am glad that I went, but will probably skip them if they come by again.

Terrible acoustics and lighting. If not for the large video screens, I couldn’t see the band on stage, just dark figures standing there. Not a band with a lot of stage presence but outside of the acoustics issue, sounded ok.

A core memory was made watching this performance. People were dancing in their seats in numbers that I've never seen before. This was the single greatest performance that I've seen in my life so far. Even though Julian Casablancas flubbed a few lines, in the setting of this performance, it was perfection. The format of this performance with the dual screens and large square screen behind the band was the standard that other venues and performances will have to "live up to". Every moment of video of the band on-screen felt crafted like a music video. I am a fan of The New Abnormal album and have enjoyed many of their other tracks from older albums, but didn't consider myself a h******e Strokes fan until seeing them live. Their music and performance was SO GOOD live that I gained an understanding of why older generations used-to "follow bands on tour". We came to watch The Strokes, stayed for the epic show by RHCP

The bummer was that the show had to be set back due to weather so they’re set got cut down and I could’ve done with hearing five more classics from them since they didn’t get a chance to play anything from the first album except the song last night. Other than that they sounded just like they did over a decade ago when I saw them open for Tom Petty in Gainesville. Perfect sounding live band.

The Strokes we’re so good live. Played a lot of songs that the crowd loved as well as a few deep cuts for the h******e fans. Julian’s ad-lib Melodie’s we’re really cool and one of my fav orbits parts of the whole thing. He’s a goofball and i love hearing him talk in his awkward, hyper-philosophical way. Strokes shows aren’t m going to be as interactive as, say, your typical Lizzo concert, but you are going to meet a lot of good people and you’re going to really enjoy the light show.

Best night of my life. The Strokes are my favourite band and every minute of the onstage joking and playing and everyone screaming the lyrics in the background was perfect. Everyone was having a good time. I was up the entire time. I was just recovering from a new dosage of my epilepsy meds (strobe lights don’t affect me) that made me super sad so this was the most perfect day to bring me out of that. I’d love to go again when the opportunity arises.

A bit disappointing really, I like the Strokes but the way the sound came out in the venue was not the greatest, stage performance could of been better. Still I see them before and I really enjoyed it.

4th time seeing the Strokes and, unfortunately, the most disappointing. Started late and couldn’t finish their set due to that and the curfew. The bummer is that it seemed all down to Julian’s attitude. The band sounded amazing as always, and it was great for Eddie. Edgar to jam on 2 tunes with them. It’s just a shame that Julian doesn’t like the beach, hates flip-flops and has to spoil a 5-star night because of it.

The Strokes are my favorite band but it seemed they didn’t want to be there and perform. I think Julian also sung that he wish he didn’t have to perform at this location. Oh well

It would’ve been a more uplifting show if the crowd applauded more. Julian was trying his best to get reactions from the crowd but they were mostly docile and frigid which you don’t see too often here in the city. Maybe the crowd was still fightin’ off them long winter blues? All i know is they sounded great!
