Lake Street Dive

First time that I saw Lake Street Dive. They were excellent. The lead singer, Rachel, was terrific. Really loved the horn section that they added for this concert. Will definitely be going back to see them again. Stafford Frost amphitheater is always an excellent place to see a concert.

As always, Lake Street Dive put on a fabulous show! Their musicianship was on full display. James' guitar has been a welcome addition in the last year, and his licks varied from tasty to blistering. From Rhodes to synth, Akie's keyboards often drive the arrangements, and his fabulous vocals shine, especially on his "Same Old News" duet with Rachael. Drummers who can sing always amaze me, and Mike remains one of the best around; his harmonies are always spot on, and his lead vocals on "Seventeen" did not disappoint! And what can I say about Rachael? She is one of my favorite vocalists on the planet, with a rich contralto that demonstrates her extensive jazz training, and a magnetism that effortlessly draws in the entire audience. And, finally, Bridget, whose flawless harmonies fill out the top end, but whose unbelievable bass playing is probably the most unique feature of Lake Street Dive. I mean, what other indie/pop band has an upright bass?!? Her playing ranges from subtle, syncopated jazz to thumping rock, her tone is impeccable, and her solos are always crowd favorites. All in all, it was a wonderful evening in a beautiful venue with outstanding music! Who could ask for more?

Lake Street Dive is one of my favorite bands of all time!! I love their chemistry with one another, and I've immensely enjoyed watching them all mature as artists over the past 10 years. Outer harbor was a perfect sized venue for them, and it was beautiful to get to go under a full moon. I'm also a big fan of their opener, Katie Pruitt. She's still pretty new to performing, but did great anyway.

So smooth and lovely to listen to. Not so fond of the venue. Though the grounds at CSM are beautiful, it's not a great venue to listen to music and is better for visiting with friends. I'd rather see the band perform at a better outdoor venue (Marymoor) or indoor (WAMU).

Wow what an amazing show! The opener was fantastic! The only thing we were not to thrilled with was the lack of communication from the promoters of this event. We had VIP experience tickets and a few days prior I reached out to the ticketing company who had no info on our VIP experience yet. Then day of show still no information for our experience. We were told to just get there by 3. So we did and finally got the information we needed. Need to do better next time on communicating with people when they pay $200 a piece for this special experience. We have done VIP for many other shows and never had such lack of communication from event coordinators. Thank you Lake Street Dive for a great evening of music!

Amazing show, wow!! The addition of the Colorado Orchestra was outstanding and made for one of my top concerts. I’ve never seen the audience at Red Ricks this jazzed! The warm up band Celisse, was fantastic with a great, funky, positive vibe.

What an amazing, unforgettable experience! Pouring rain could not dampen the love and excitement of the crowd. Rachel Price was on fire!! Love this band and am so grateful I got the chance to finally see them perform in my home state and in such a beautiful venue like the Momentary.

The band was AMAZING. The sound great. The staff were friendly - especially the bartenders. Too many tickets were sold for GA so unless you were 6’7” tall, good luck seeing much. We were sandwiched and couldn’t really even move.

Greatly show as always. Fantastic musicians and Rachael has some pipes on her! Really great energy for the whole show. Glad to finally see a show at The Ryman, and happy to see Lake Street Dive as part of the experience.

Lake Street Dive was great as always. And so was the opening band, Lawrence. The weather, however, was horrible. Thousands sat in the cold rain for these great bands and we'd do it again. My only beef is why did it start an hour late, especially knowing all the fans were soggy and cold. That part was frustrating and rude and not sure who is responsible for that.

The rocked it! Could tell they were having a blast! Would have preferred no opener and had them play two set with intermission. Although, the opened was awesome. They didn't play one of my favorites, " What I'm Doing Here". Didn't seem to the upbeat pace of the set; completely dance worthy set. The crowd was jammin' along with the band and the venue ROCKED!

This is one of our favorite groups. They are all solid creatively and each is crucial to their unique sound but M's Price brings star power that is mesmerizing. Part strutting Mick, part sultry torch singer with a smile that draws you close and a voice that blows you away. Great great show

Outstanding group of musicians who put on an outstanding show. The encore was mind blowing (but I have to say I've never been a big fan of the audience singing along. I want to hear the professionals!)

FAR AND AWAY- one of the BEST concerts I've ever been to!!! They sound incredible live. Exactly how you would imagine! Not to mention, my first time at the Fillmore venue was worth 5 stars too!! Clean, comfortable, and friendly staff! They even had a DJ doing a small set in the lobby after Lake Street finished their encore, which was a great way to provide a great mingling atmosphere. 10/10/10, I'd do this a hundred times over.

I've been following Lake Street for some time, but I've been over seas and never had the chance to see them live. This performance cemented my love for this band. Lake Street Dive is one of the rare groups that gets me out of my hermit hole for more than the occasional grocery and beer run

This was one of the best shows I have been to in years. Lake Street Dive has an incredible studio sound but it comes alive on stage. Every song presented opportunities for the individual members to show how good they really are but they never upstage one another. And they were all in rare form, riffing off each other effortlessly. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe the performance. I have watched a lot of their videos on YouTube and went in with really high expectations. They met and exceeded everything I could've wanted.

This was a sold out show, no surprise, they were FANTASTIC! So glad we had the foresight to but tickets early. I often find lead singers who don't play an instrument can be either boring or over animated....not so with Rachael Price....she has great stage presence and a phenomenal voice ! The whole band were energizing and clearly love what they do. The group I attended this show with echo my opinion and we look forward to seeing Lake Street Dive again in the future!

absolutely brilliant!! Parsonsfield were excellent as the opening act! I hope to see Lake Street Dive again this year because I left after buying both their records assuming they weren't coming out to sign autographs and it's now one of my great regrets that I didn't get the chance to meet Rachael Price. Brilliant performance and great crowd energy!!

The entire show was flawless. The sound mix was professionally done, and their choice of an opening band, The Congress, added greatly to the evening. The set list for both bands was well thought through. Choosing "Take It To The Limit" as the encore with The Congress coming on stage was gutsy, and they nailed it. Their new material has at least two hit songs. If they don't break nationally it will be because of management not talent.
