The VIP meet n greet started in a disappointing fashion. First, we stood outside in the warm Phoenix weather for over an hour waiting. Second, they had some technical difficulties so we didn't ha e time for autographs (sorry vinyl record collection). After we got inside, it all pretty much changed. The band was super fun and played us 3 songs as part of VIP (Blood and Sugar, Cry, Two is Better Than One w/Martin's wife singing Taylor's part). Naomi singing with Marin while their two precious girls were running around and being held (with headphones on) was beyond precious. That song and seeing Martin and Naomi sing together was worth the price of admission. When i got my picture taken with the band, the guys were super fun and made the best of the little time we had. After my pictures, i visited with Naomi, who was an absolutely sweet girl. We talked about how her and Martin met and her girls and how I became a fan of the band. VIP was amazing and the "above and beyond" moments were them playing "cry" (my request, which i had never heard live) and the duet between Martin and Naomi and then my time with Naomi. The concert itself was great. Arrows were better than expected and left me wanting more. I Don't know How... was also very fun and interacted with the fans including looking straight at me, with a snarky but playful expression, seconds before their first song "Nobody likes the opening band" and saying "NO" in response to me yelling "I like the opening band"! They are a lot more fun live than i expected based on studio recordings. BLG was amazing. Playing the first two albums in full with a brief intermission was so much fun. Hearing some deep cuts like "Me, You and my Medication", "Someone Like You", "Holiday", "Go", "Broken Man" and others was so definitely unique and worth it for them to do the tour this way. Wish the tour was longer or that i could go see the show again. I look forward to them doing a show with some deep cuts off Foxwoods ("Lost in Wonderland" and "Brooklyn state of Mind" please!) Bottom line. Worth every penny and every minute in the sun. BLG rock!

Rodrigo y Gabriela were phabulous. Minimal stage set. The focus was on their music. High energy and the typical excellent guitar work. However, I wasn't thrilled with the venue. There is no slope to the floor resulting in limited views for the audience. I'm 6'-2" yet I had a tall person sitting in front of me so I always had to lean from side to side to get a view. Short people had less view. The people in back had very limited view. Ironically the people back in the balcony had a better view than I had. I'm looking forward to seeing Rodrigo y Gabriela again, but hoping they don't return to Marquee Theater. I will hesitate to go to any concert at that facility.

Excellent multi media production!! So nice to hear such great music again live. At 76 CP remains a technical master on the drums. Paul was amazing on guitar and triggering the synth parts. His guitar arrangement of "Clair de Lune" was stunning. In addition to 6 string bass, Simon was a virtuoso on the Chapman Stick. My only gripe is those CHEAP A*S seats. C'mon guys....at $100 a ticket and the majority of the crowd being seniors, you can do better than b******t rental folding chairs that came from some firehouse wedding in 1971. Otherwise it was a GREAT show!!

Not too crowded. Showed up at the end of the Stateside set, and caught lat 2 or 3 songs. They are pretty good but seemed audio was off, or perhaps vocalist was out of key on the high notes. Was able to get right up front center left, however the floor levels out so taller people in front blocked some of the view. May have been better off further in the back as there is an incline of the floor favors viewing. Standing room only except for balcony, though balcony access is limited to 21+ for some reason. I felt the acoustics and audio/mixing were not great. However it was very loud and I had earplugs in, which I put in and out during different songs to determine if it was the earlpugs causing distortion or the actual audio. Not sure which. Band was great and cranked through several songs, but as far as I can tell I don't know if they performed any from Oblivion (maybe one?), and they did a few from Say Hello to Sunshine which of course is least popular. They performed a new song which sounded just okay, and wasn't sure what it was until it was noted to be a new song after finishing but didn't get the title nor did they mention any new album coming out. They did perform many songs from What it is to Burn, and closed out with the eponymous song from that album. Sounded great and the vocalist was in top form, sounding no different after 20+ years, perhaps even better as he has a distinctive voice well suited to the style. Only issue was he took some liberties with the inflexions and emphasis on certain words/lines which was off-putting because it's different on the album. I drove 6 hours round trip to see them, and didn't even stay for the main header (The Starting Line). No regrets. Also cannot figure out how to post more than one picture, so that's why there's only the one.

There were 3 openers for Buckcherry. All were outstanding. Stereo Rex is local and seen them a few times. Surprised they’re not bigger. Drew Cagle and the Reputation was a pleasant surprise. Never heard of them. They rocked and are going to be big. Nashville P***y was awesome as usual. Their guitar work between the two leads is phenomenal. Last but not least was Buckcherry and they rocked it. Little disappointed that Michael Monroe cancelled because I’ve always wanted to see him. But the show was great neverless. Definitely check it out.

I’ve been to a lot of shows, this was by far the best one I have ever gone to. Openers were amazing, Holding Absence are the sweetest most genuine guys I’ve ever seen on a stage! The crowd was spot on. I talked to so many people and all of them were so nice and friendly. Plot has to be the best live band I’ve seen, everything sounded just as it does on the recordings but you can literally feel how these guys put their hearts and souls into it. I want to see them live everywhere all the time now, an absolutely beautiful show!

Amazing Show by Letdown! I recently had the pleasure of seeing Letdown live at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ with my wife, and let me tell you—it was an unforgettable experience! I was easily the oldest guy in the house, but that didn’t matter one bit because the energy in the room was electric! Letdown absolutely jammed and blew the crowd away with his raw talent and infectious beats. From the moment he stepped on stage, it was clear this guy was going to tear the house down. The music hit hard, and the vibe was incredible—whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his sound, it was impossible not to get caught up in the moment. Every track was a banger, and seeing him live just added another level of intensity that recordings don’t fully capture. Honestly, one of the best live performances I’ve seen in a long time. If you get the chance to catch Letdown in concert, do yourself a favor and go. Trust me, even if you’re the “Legalize Cocaine” guy in the crowd like me, you’ll be having the time of your life!

It was an absolutely perfect night for me and the kid. A very nice clean and inviting venue. The marquee theatre was a fantastic experience. The crowd was filled with plenty of excitement and yet friendly energy. The performance, the Struts brought from across the pond was Something you sure won't want to miss the next time they pass through town. Small venues are the way to go, and phoenix has plenty of them, but none shine like the marquee theatre.

Barns Courtney was the performer I came to see, I’ve been listening to him for nearly 10 years. He was absolutely hammered on stage,. This is a talented artist I expected to be amazing to hear live. He wasn’t there to sing, but to do a Motley Crue impersonation, freaking out the security team by choosing to crowd surf. The Struts were so much more professional and connected to the audience. Feels like Barns Courtney would be a headliner not an opening act if he got it together

I’ve never left a review for a band before. That said, I absolutely need to in this case. Like many, I found nicotine dolls in my feed on social media, and loved their sound. I followed them, downloaded a few songs on Spotify, and suddenly found they were going to be in Tempe. I couldn’t resist and bought tickets. you must see them live! Their studio recordings are great, don’t get me wrong, but live this band is amazing! My husband and I travel the world for music, and I can’t remember the last time I felt so elated by band’s enthusiasm to play for us. They were fun, engaging, and clearly having such a great time on the stage. They sounded fantastic, but that seems secondary to how they interact with the audience. If they aren’t already on your list, make them a priority. It’s only a matter of time before they’re playing much. Bigger venues and tickets are harder to get. I’m checking the tour dates now for another show.

It was a sold out show at the Marquee. Parking was packed and my spot was about a 5 minute walk from the theater. The line went across the bridge, but there was good traffic control, and security moved everyone through pretty quickly. The bathroom lines moved quickly, and the line at the drink lines moved quickly too. Definitely HOT inside even with the huge fans, but enough room to dance in my one foot imaginary box. Not sure if there was a pit because I was too short to see. Most people were nice enough to not stand in front of short people like me (or moved enough so we could all see). One gal suddenly appeared behind me and was pushing up against me, so I danced with her (dont think she wanted to dance because she moved). I See Stars and ERRA were great. Volume was perfect. It was looking like it was going to be an amazing concert... until the lights flashed off then back on and the band came out and Noah announced he had been continuoisly coughing, and wasn't going to be able to perform. I felt bad for the gal who came from the canceled Portland concert, and another gal who came from Washington. Some of us shouted out for Noah to lip sync... you know, Milli Vanilli style... It was pretty easy getting out of the venue. Disappointed definitely, but I See Stars and ERRA were great and the venue was good, so I'm giving the concert three stars.

Kid Kapichi was absolutely amazing and I am so excited that I got to see them on their first US tour and their last night of their tour! Such a energetic and fabulous stage presence and they have such great energy with each other! I wish they had gotten a longer set time, but who doesn't want an encore of great music?! While everyone was there for the headliner, Kid Kapichi was my headliner and next time they are back in the US, definitely will be seeing them again!!

The show was amazing. We had purchased balcony seats and the girl at the front didn’t let us know that we needed to have a wristband for that so we had to go back outside and you’re not allowed to take your drinks so it would’ve been nice if she would have told us that before we went in. The security upstairs at the balcony was so kind and there were not three seats together, but they went and gathered some so that we could sit down.

If you close your eyes it is extremely hard to tell the difference between DM & Strange Love They are always a pleasure to visit with after the show they stay till the very last man has asked their last question they never rush you or Usher you out they truly love their fans their fans mean everything, if they're within even a state driving distance for you make the trip you'll never regret it I give them 10 Stars if I could

The show was awesome, so sad it's over. "Front of the line" passes were a huge scam (and assumed so). The venue was a lot bigger than the previous one I was able to see them at, so sound wasn't the greatest. I'm happy to see such a huge turnout, but that also includes not such die-hard fans in attendance. Great time and great people. Stoked my daughter got to enjoy with me as well finally, especially after growing up listening to this all of her life ❤️

It has been a long time since they last played here. 2019? As always, both bands put on a lively, fun, and personalized show. Unlike lots of guitar-based bands, you can actually distinguish their songs from one another because all instruments and voices can be heard. Their songs are upbeat, laden with chantable choruses, that causes the audience to punch the air and hoot in unison. And, man, can their shared lead vocalist sing! I didn't understand why a lot of the audience left after Gloryhammer. To me, they are like twins.

Ok, so I knew it would be great. First time seeing Alter Bridge live. It feels like this crazy powerful band with off the charts vocals of Myles kennedy is commanding more and more fans and energy as they continue to rock through the years. Myles maintains a humble rock God status and just brings it... as if it were easy. The crowd was syked beyond most I've seen at the Marquee which by the way continues to be one of the best venues in town. I will see Alter Bridge again at every opportunity.

Great show! Felt nothing but good vibes from the band from beginning to end. Venue was clean, easily accessible, and safe. This show was the first time I’d experienced security involvement in regards to a patrons disappointment with the crowd pushing her from her place (security removed gentlemen who were causing concerns). I’ve been to many shows where the end result was just dealing with being pushed around, but this was surprising and a change of pace for sure. It’d be interesting to see if they had the same protocol with other genres of music performing.

Was really excited for this one. Was part of the VIP group. We were seated on the far left balcony. Have never been to the Marquee before but it's just an awesome venue. Intimate but holds plenty of people. Love the layout. My girlfriend was in a wheelchair and the staff was crazy accommodating. OHMO led things off and were just stunning. Have never heard of them prior to that evening but I'm now very much a fan. Goosebump makers are they. FKJ was everything we hoped for and more. He started with a track that was unique to his stop in Phoenix which wasn't just exciting. The track itself was amazingly good and I can only hope that it shows up on spotify somewhere, somehow. Along with all the other tracks he's apparently mixing on the fly for each of his stops. Very well rounded song selection. Both bands had great sound Complaints are few and far between. I wish OHMO was printed on the ticket, I couldn't find out until well after the show who they were through some google searches. Glad I was able to figure that out. $13 for a 24oz can of Modelo. I'll just let that one speak for itself. It would be cool if VIP could get a discounted rate on beer. Checking in as a VIP is a bit confusing. You go to the front of the VIP line to check in, then go to the back of the line to wait to get in. Obviously the concert has to stop at some point but it would have been cool to hear a couple more of his newer songs. I was hoping for 'Us'. Got a blast from the past song though, so that about evened things out. Gotta please the crowd, I get that. So that's not even a real complaint An amazing experience. Just one of the best damn concerts I've been to in a long time. I can't wait for when FKJ or OHMO visits the valley again. Believe me, I could go on. Go see them! It's worth! I'll be keeping a close eye on OHMO

Excellent sold-out show!!! All four members of the band are phenomenal at their craft. The timing between them was flawless. Simply incredible with all the tempo changes and complex song structure. Their solo work and dual playing were off the charts. The multiple encores were a sweet bonus as well. For a live show to sound on par with a studio recording, is quite impressive and rare. If they tour near you, do not want to miss the opportunity to see them.
