The Psychedelic Furs

The Psychedelic Furs was one the best shows I've seen in awhile! The people in MN were very lucky they had a stop here. Richard Butler was all over the stage engaging with the audience and he sounded fantastic 👏. The Squeeze was also alot of fun 😀

They were awesome! Very entertaining and the sound was great. They played most of their hits. Just wish they would have played more of them. They were only on for and hour and 15 minutes before the other band came on.

The Psychedelic Furs brought their classic alternative sound. Richard' s voice is stronger than ever. The joy he has in still performing and getting the love back from the audience is contagious. Mars and Rich's bring the new songs off Made of Rain to life. Zach keeps the energy and beat alive and with a whole new level. Tim has his classic poses and rhythm always interactive and entertaining. Amanda is the glue that holds the beautiful chaos together. Seeing the Furs is always a pleasure.

THE SHOW WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND SO WAS THE VENUE. WE HAVE SEEN THE FURS FOR ABOUT 7-8 SHOWS AND THEY ALWAYS PUT ON THE GREATEST PERFORMANCE!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Mr Moreno

Singer sounded EXACTLY the same after all these years!!! So cool to see some legends still doing it. I think the vocalist and his brother the bassist are the only remaining OG members. Bassist came into the crowd which a hadn’t seen yet at this venue.

The Psychedelic Furs were GREAT but the opening act was HORRIBLE. No energy ..... no stage presence ..... next time tell the to book "Strange Love" if they want the crowd hyped up for the main act .... Flock of Seagulls did!

Richard’s voice is timeless, the band is super tight, and they all look like they’re having a blast. One of the best live bands. Great to see them killing it live better than bands half their age. I do prefer them at a place like The Fonda or maybe El Rey.

The Furs always deliver the goods. They come on stage and get the job done. The songs speak for themselves. Richard is a great singer and front man that works the entire crowd. The old hits blend well with the new material from their new album" Made of Rain". The Furs rank right up there with The Cure and Depeche Mode as a vibrant live act.

Thoroughly enjoyed the show. The Furs sounded amazing and do a great mix of old hits and songs off the new album. I guess it was due to it being a Tuesday, but I was shocked how much the venue emptied out before the show wrapped, but I can't imagine it having been due to anything the Furs did or didn't do!

My first show at the Xcite center and it was a great experience the venue sound and sight lines are great and of course the Furs are showing that they are as vibrant and creative today as in their heyday!

What a great show. X opened at exactly the hour and meant it. Played a full set without much audience chatter, which left room for lots of music. Drawing across their career, they were charged up and ready to go. I've been seeing them since 1979 and this may be the best I've ever heard them. Standouts included Bonebrake taking a turn on the marimba, Bill rolling out his saxophone skills and Exene and John in top vocal form. See them now while you can. Psych Furs were in great spirits, showed off material from the new album and prowled the stage with extra moody grace. Butler gestured, bowed and grinned for added emphasis. They played the hits but reached for deeper cuts for the first half to set the stage for a melodic release. A great show.

The Furs were great and I see them every time they come around. However, I was super excited to see James! It’s been a long time since they had a concert in L.A. They always sound amazing live!

Really enjoyed this gig. The Furs played a tight set, entertained throughout and Richard Butlers performance was wonderful. The moves, the strut, and along with another British band James who never disappoint this was a quality night. Absolutely loved it though enjoying a concert at this venue can depend a lot on where you end up standing. I got very lucky at the front

Surprised by Richard Butler’s upbeat mood and tireless energy and onstage interaction with bandmates! They played solidly with highlights including 3 songs from their original album. Sax player was in smoking hot form and featured often, as well he should. James was solid though only played about 20% oldies/ hits.

House of Blues always a top venue. Opener from California ... Dear Boy ... tried hard, but were a bit too discount Gin Blossoms for our money, although when they unleashed the final song, quality was evident, but too much shoegaze and hair flick got in the way for the early set. After a break, the magnificent James took the stage. Tim Booth occupies the stage like a Michael Stipe/Thom Yorke hybrid; never still, always present. Despite some mike issues, the show moved at a good clip, and a solid set of old and new material graced our ears. Sonics from the balcony level were bass heavy and vocals punched way high, which unfortunately highlighted pitchyness at times. 'Sometimes' was anthemic, and the crowd-pleasing and obligatory 'Laid' was on point. Madchester done proud. Now... Psychadelic Furs... musically tight as ever... showmanship on point... vocals.... not so much. Richard Butler woos the somewhat sedate crowd with banter occasionally, and the intent to entertain is there, but the voice more flat than not. 'Love My Way' was decent later in the set, and after an effortful 'Mr.Jones' opener, we were hoping for more. A sampling from across the catalogue kept most fans happy, but the delivery was tough all night. 'Pretty In Pink' felt more of a chore than a celebration, and the closer of 'India' left us wondering if the best is all behind us now. James saved the night for us... 4 stars for them, 3 for Furs, 2 for discount Gin Blossoms.

Second row. Close enough to hear the singing and sax without the speakers. Haven’t been this close in years. Always a favorite, and interesting set list order to the songs. Looking forward to the day Richard says more than “ok, and yeah” between songs. Having seen them many times since ‘83, not holding my breath.

I LOVE seeing them live. This is number 4 for me. The only thing I didn’t like last night was having reserved seats. We had great seats, but I like being able to go to the front and move around. I will always see them when they come to the city I’m in.

The furs were absolutely outstanding! Played all of their greatest hits and than some. Brought back so many memories from the 80’s! I would love them to return to Mayo again in the future!

The Psychedelic Furs continue to mine the perfect pop tones of their eighties heyday. Butler brings an anarchic joy to the proceedings with Bowie posturing and a band that can lock in on each teen Fantasia. The audience drops this a star for their collective indifference to the joyful sounds. Mr. Black with Green Hair and Alien tattoos, I saw you leave along with the other suburbanites once “Love My Way” was played. I saw you too with Bernie Dexter dress and pink hair. At least in a proper auditorium or club or hall, you stay until the end. Plus, “Pretty In Pink” is still pretty, pretty great.

The Furs sounded very good, once the sound guy got their instruments balanced 4 songs in. Poor sax player was blowing his brains out for nothing. Short gig at approx only 85 minutes. Would have liked the band tonight deeper but I guess as was evident by the crowd they had to play the game hits. Too bad, cuz their first 3 albums are beginning to end gems. The Canyon as can be typical was a greedy setup of dinner tables taking up the whole floor. Could not stand and rock out to the band. And it was overcrowded as is typical of some shows there. Bartenders are great!
