Better Than Ezra

Everything was perfect! Met the drummer Michael Jerome outside of the show and got a selfie with him. I was in front for the band so that was awesome! They even played my "special request" with a song they rarely play live and wasn't even on their setlist!

I’ve been a huge fan since 1993 when Deluxe came out and saw them the first time in 1996 and a few times throughout the yrs.. 30 yrs later and they’re still kicking ass and their show @ The Queen didn’t disappoint..Absolutely amazing..

Better Than Ezra is a great band. So much fun. I was unable to use my tickets because I got sick, so it was nice to be able to stream it and see the concert. Hope I can see them in person the next time they are in the area.

Was an incredible night! The Keswick is a great place to see a show. Band was on fire and the crowd was great. I see BTE whenever they come close to Philly. Their live shows have converted many tag-a-longs into die-hard fans. Wonderful night out!

The New Orleans - New England music connection remains strong as Better Than Ezra added a new venue to their periodic NE pilgrimage list, adding The Cabot, the classically styled theater, to their list including the Paradise, Avalon, the Strand, and I'm sure many of the long lost classic venues from the early years and 3 decades of Boston area shows. Howie Day opened with an exploration of effects looping creating an orchestra of layered vocals and riffs leading up to the classic Collide. The boys from the Bayou never disappoint and this show was on point from the opening King of New Orleans, with new songs Contact High and Mystified, with a lot of jokes in between all the classic favorites, Rosealia, Desperately Wanting, A Lifetime, making for a fun show, including the full spectrum of mini and full covers from a Rush tribute mini-medley to the iconic INXS Never Tear Us Apart. BTE always makes it fun but also delivers straight from the heart and that's what makes them not only consistently Good, but Extra Ordinary.

Great Denver show @ the Bluebird Theatre! BTE delivered a fantastic performance. BTE’s sound and vibe is timeless yet evolves to seemingly always catch the wave of todays grooves with a little bit of punk, funk and rock. #Mystified. Underpinned by that Nola spirit with storytelling lyrics that bring you through the journey of life , they’re sound is infectious. Combine the BTE originals with some amazing covers spliced in between some witty banter from Kevin Griffin and you’ve got yourself a damn fine live music experience! #LiveMusic Kevin Griffin; Tom Drummond; James Arthur Payne; Jr. Michael Jerome - thank you!

Perfect in every way! BTE was awesome. Played the favorites a long with some awesome covers. Great interaction with the crowd. Train didn’t disappoint and finished the evening up with an awesome performance. Add the peaceful venue at The Fruityard and it was a perfect evening.

They’re amazing as always. But, the doing guy had the over buss compression way too strong. There were no accents, peaks and valleys. Kevin’s vocal sounded like it was squashed with zero release. Come from a sound person, I wasn’t impressed with the technical. Took away from the show.

One of the best shows I have seen in a long time. Have loved this band since 1989 and by far last night was the best show from these guys. Very entertaining. They were tight and fabulous in every way. Forgot how much I missed seeing them live. Can't wait for new music from BTE next year! Great show!!

They played well enough, but the cheesy banter and cheesy covers were distracting. They've got a fantastic back catalogue and a lot of solid music made recently. Would've rather heard that than straight Stevie Nicks and Oasis covers among others with some super abbreviated versions of their own music. I don't know if they're just tired of playing their own music or don't trust the quality of it (which would be crazy) to be the show, but it was like seeing a decent lounge act cover band do a (mostly) Better Than Ezra tribute show. Not bad exactly, but disappointing nonetheless.

One of the best BTE shows ever!! They played a fantastic set that everyone seemed to be having a fantastic time. Lots of singing and cheering and laughing, too!! Awesome!! The National is a great venue and parking is really close by. I only walked across the street!! I got to meet Michael Jerome, their drummer as he was walking down the street before the show, we chatted, I got a picture with him and an autograph too!!!! Five star night for sure!!!!

Always entertaining, the music as well as the banter between songs. These guys love to play and it shows in the joy with which they play together on stage. It’s contagious and I always leave a bigger fan than when I entered. Always great music, always a great time at their shows.

This was my fourth BTE show and as always, the band delivered! Excellent show, great set list and amazing time. Also, the Pageant in St. Louis is the best mid sized venue for seeing a concert - not a bad seat (or standing room) in the house! Will continue to see BTE shows in the future as well as shows at the Pageant!

Better Than Ezra continues to be my favorite band, most fun concert, and the soundtrack of my life for the past 30 years. They sound as awesome as ever and are true entertainers. Their ability to weave various covers amongst their own catalog of songs and banter with the crowd and one another is unmatched. After seeing 25+ live shows across 10 different venues, I can honestly say that every show has been awesome, even when the acoustics were a bit of a struggle and they had to do an encore in the alley outside the venue. That challenged venue was not the Vogue, which continues to be an awesome fit for its intimacy in sharing this band's talents with the crowd. Also appreciated the ADA seating for the show since I recently busted up my knee and cannot stand for much longer than 15 minutes.

BTE put on one of the funnest shows I’ve ever been too! Oddly enough, they had already played in NOLA that am and drove up and did our concert. To have that much energy and not appear drained is quite the feat. Funny, energetic guys. (The local opening band was terrible. )

These guys never disappoint. They always look as though they truly are having a great time. Thank you for coming to a little town in PA and acting as though you were playing at Madison Square Garden. The cover songs thrown in with old favorites and new fresh songs make the show exciting every time. We have been fans for 28 years, used to live in New Orleans and try to catch whatever show we can now that we live in PA. Great show and again, thank you for one of the most fun nights we've had lately!

I have been a fan since Deluxe in the mid 90s. Seeing them last night was Awesome! They put on one of the most entertaining shows I have been to in a while. Thank you for the great music and laughs during the show!

These guys always put.on a good show. Even if you are not a big BTE fan, you can appreciate their self deprecating humor and the way they interact with the audience. Love the covers but they know where their bread and butter is. They sang all their hits from the 90's.

Fantastic! Played everything I wanted to hear except "at the stars" but made up for it with incredible personality! Even threw in a few covers that got people pumped up! I am a big fan of 90s music and loved seeing Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, Gin Blossoms, Goo Goo Dolls, etc. and I always wanted to see Better than Ezra. I was very impressed and have to say they may have been the best of all shows I've seen. Well done!

These guys of always been great but since the new album they seem completely reinvigorated. Although they did not cover age a Prince song like they did at jazz fest, they did a lot of unexpected covers while mining their incredibly diverse catalog and proved that they can still party… And rock… Like it's 1999. If you get a chance definitely catch these guys. One of the most fun live acts you will ever see.
