Fan Reviews
As usual, the venue in St. Augustine was amazing. Great access, friendly customer service and the right amount of staff and vendors. The show was simply out of this world. Del Amitri was good, Five for Fighting was incredible, way better than I would have imagined. And of course the headliner BNL was fantastic, but this show was just at another level. They stepped it up and did a truly great performance in the overwhelming heat of Florida summer. Tip of the hat to BNL, they outdid themselves this LSOE2023 tour. Keep it up guys!

The most fun I have had in a long time what a way to kick off the summer I freaking love BNL and Five For Fighting and Del Amitri even though I only know one song by them I still enjoyed watching them live I was there with my sister.

One of the best shows I have seen in recent memory. These guys put on such a great show with their music and funny banter. Five for fighting was a pleasant surprise. They were great. If you have never seen barenaked ladies live show do yourself a flavor and go.

The show was amazing! BNL always knows how to perform and this was no exception.
The venue, on the other hand, was not great. Their oppressive rules made us feel like the fun police was watching our every move. It’s bad enough that people with food allergies have such a hard time finding anything to eat, but they make you walk a half a mile to use the restroom just so you have to walk past all the overpriced food/drink vendors. It’s a the lady at the entrance was a huge B when we walked up with some blankets that “looked” too big and made us walk back to our car to put them back. If you can swing the trip up to Seattle, Marymoor Park is a far better outdoor venue.

We bought 4 Gold Ticket Packages as a Christmas gift for Us, our Son and his long time Girlfriend. Gold package included access to BNL sound check (40 mins), a personal photo with the Band, a set of 4 BNL Christmas decorations, VIP laminated pass and BNL magnetic picture holder. Meeting BNL was a life long dream and they did not disappoint us with their humor, friendly banter and tight professional musical talent! Show was one of the best we've seen in 50 years of going to concerts! Thank You Barenaked Ladies!!!!

Toad the Wet Sprocket & Gin Blossoms we’re awesome. Bare Naked Ladies definitely were the weak link of the night. Their set list was extremely disappointing, and they seemed to lose the crowd about 1/2 way through their performance. Audience members were leaving early in droves…not a good sign.

Thank you Toad for the meet n greet! Your music is amazing and it was a privilege to meet you all in person! It was a fantastic experience at a fabulous venue with all three bands, Toad, the Gin Blossoms and BNL who were amazing live!! Both audience and all 3 bands were having fun and it showed!!
Thank you all for a great performance!!
Since only one photo allowed, enjoy!!
Gilford, NH@Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion
Toad and the Wet Sprocket along with Gin Blossoms were good. But when Barenaked Ladies took the stage, they tore it up and left nothing behind. It was a great show. I’ now wondering why I haven’t tried to see them before now.
I will also say the finale was awesome. All three bands got together for a great performance of The Traveling Wilbury’s “Handle Me With Care”.
Lewiston, NY@Artpark
Are you kidding me, toad the wet sprocket, gin blossoms and BNL what a show. Even though they have started to short cut Brian Wilson (fan favorite) the last few times I've seen them. They still continue to entertain at a high level.
Cleveland, OH@Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica
Fantastic show. All three bands sounded great and the night only got better as it went on. I knew about half of the Toad the Wet Sprocket set list, all but a few of the Gin Blossoms setlist, and all of the BNL setlist. The night was packed with great rock n roll and tons of humor to boot. Weather was nice too, and it got dark just in time for the main event. It’s always a treat hearing the locally-themed banter and improv raps that Ed and the guys come up with. I was ecstatic when everyone came back out for the encore to do a Wilburys number in supergroup fashion!! Love all these guys and was thoroughly enthralled with this performance.

Second time seeing them. Waited 2.5 years and 2 rescheduled dates for this one but it was so worth it! Loved both concerts. Love how they focus on each band member. All are so talented and versatile, but the bass player blew my mind! Love the sense of humor too. Overall so enjoyable! We will go see them every chance we get.
Troutdale, OR@Edgefield Concerts
The concert and venue was great! The seats we got as part of our VIP package were amazing and I felt the band was singing to me personally. I would have loved a longer set from Toad and Gin but totally understand why they were shorter. Also, the concert started right on time and the transition between bands was quick.
On the downside, I purchased my tickets two years ago and the VIP experience was not very VIP at all. We never were notified about the meet and greet with the band and missed out on the swag package and the opportunity to hear the rehearsal and get photos. Luckily, another concert-goer had a friend who'd purchased a ticket recently, so that person got the VIP information. They let me know what we missed, and then tracked down the guy that was giving out the swag. We got our camera, ice-cube tray and lanyard which was nice. The couple next to us when they saw our lanyard's asked how we got it as they had heard zero info and had purchased their tickets two years ago as well.
I wish they would have made a better effort to contact those fans that loved these bands enough to hold onto their tickets for TWO years.
Redmond, WA@Marymoor Park
Fourth time seeing BNL. They were entertaining as always but they really need to work on the set list for this tour. They played way too many new songs, and all at once. Only a few were actually worth playing, and they literally lost the audience's attention at one point. We haven't seen you play in 4 years guys. Play what the fans want to hear!
Irving, TX@Irving Music Factory
It was a good show
Great venue beautiful night
BNL didn’t play very long and didn’t play a lot of the songs that everyone wanted to hear. Toad the Wet Sprocket & Gin Blossoms were both really good and put on a better show then BNL.
Atlanta, GA@Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park
Great show. BNL still brings it. They seemed to be reluctant to open the show with a huge 90’s hit to really get everyone going. It wasn’t until the back half they hit all the big hits. The opening acts were great too, Toad The Wet Sprocket was on point but I’ll tell you this, Gyn Blossoms, had the best set of the night. I can’t believe they’re not headlining. Overall, an awesome experience and beyond worth the price of admission. Great job, everyone.
Saint Augustine Shores, FL@St Augustine Amphitheatre Backyard Stage
Absolutely brilliant, only half the band but they still put on a fabulous gig. Would definitely recommend seeing them live, they sang all my favourite tracks too. Support act Boothby Graffoe was brilliant too, haven't laughed so much in ages. Thank you x
Leeds, United Kingdom@Leeds Beckett University
This is the sixth time I seen BNL and yet again they didn't disappoint, great showmen and great tunes. Just a shame there was a half a dozen pissed 40 somethings behind us ruining it for everyone around them. Still there are dick heads everywhere I guess.
Portsmouth, United Kingdom@Portsmouth Guildhall
I've been a fan for a long time and this was my first time seeing BNL live. I wish it hadn't been a double bill, but still loved the show. Watching Jim on the upright bass was awesome. He's an incredible musician, but then, they are all so talented. That's part of what makes them so durable. I hope I can make it to another show before too long!
Pompano Beach, FL@Pompano Beach Amphitheatre
Couldn't ask for a better concert. They get the whole crowd engaged and you can tell they have a blast performing. Never boring when they play live. Their banter is quite funny. Not a band that goes onstage to perform their songs and only says a word or two to the crowd throughout the show. They chat about the city/state they are in, the things that recently happened to them, etc.; I love that about them. Their medleys of popular old and current songs from other artists are superb. The drummer comes out from his behind his drumkit to sing some songs while the lead singer/guitarists gets behind the drumkit. So awesome how talented they are. Even a little human beatbox goes on too! I could go on and on and on. Overall, BNL is a MUST see. You will find that other artist's concert are very dull after you see Barenaked Ladies, sorry, but it's true!!!
Naperville, IL@Naperville Last Fling
An absolute blast! Great to see BNL, even without Steven Page. Howard Jones & OMD were just as much fun. Very little setup time between acts and the night lasted for more than 3.5 hours. Venue didn't hurt either...
