Been wanting to see The Offspring since the 90s and finally got my chance, was not disappointed! These guys are true professionals. Cool lights, fantastic sound plus Dexter and Noodles are great at working the crowd. The setlist included a couple songs from the new album (which I really like) and the "greatest" hits, although I was really hoping to hear one song in particular which wasn't played. Also, this was my first trip to Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh but it definitely will not be my last.

My boyfriend at the time was Steve and he'd never been to an Offspring concert...I got us some GA tickets and by the end of the show he was hopping up and down jamming to the music just like the rest of us. His exact word were, "that was a fun time". I had never seen him get into a concert like that before, or since. I hope he remembers that as one of the good times we spent together just like I'm remembering now as I write this review.

The Fillmore had great staff, good flow in and out and killer sound. Loud is one thing, but loud and clear is what was delivered - well done! The Offspring were ready to play, to be sure! The new album has been out and the fans want to hear highlights, plus the hits from years past. I would call this show the best of the best of The Offspring and they were at the top of their game as far as song selection, preparedness, tone, full sound and overall quality. All that said, this was a kick ass show by the band and I can't wait for more of the same in the future!!!
