Moda Center

Best and worst concert ..I missed HALF!!! Drove 9hours from Spokane Valley, WA near Idaho border to MISS IT in Tacoma,WA south of Seattle. Saw they were in Portland, OR and drove the 4 hours AFTER SLEEPING IN MY RENTAL!!!! "No room at the inns..." It was the weekend of the STP Seattle to Portland bicycle ride! Get to hotel 5:30pm right near concert in the Rose Quarter after buying the ticket. Rest a half minute...and WAKE UP AT 8PM with a 7pm start!!!!! Missed The Figs AND TORI!!!! WHO I WENT TO SEE!!! Call her my Muse -- her music helped guide me thru the deepest darkest valleys: the end of my 31yr marriage, estranged grown kids and a grandkid I don't get to see the last 10 months... Newly disabled and trying to rehab to work again. Worsening health and financial struggles destroyed plan to see ENTIRE CONCERT. I GUESS I will need to travel...abroad for the first time to see her! Forrest and Cory were phenomenal!!! My right forearm has 2 new tattoos -- days 1and2 after in Portland that are Tori-centric, planning others to commemorate the concert!

Hands down the best concert I have ever been to. My daughter and I laughed, cried, praised and danced for Joy. Forrest, I got to see first hand the vision God gave you be fulfilled and your obedience to the Lord was a blessing to me and my daughter and so many others. What a ripple effect that one man’s obedience has had on so many lives. Im so excited to see what else is to come in your life. Your the most humble genuine guy and you can see the light of Jesus radiate off you and reflects on us all. On to me, on to my daughter and the next person and the next person and the next person. Its amazing and I just cant get over it. I hope and pray to see you again and Lord willing with my whole family next time.

Everything related to Forrest Frank was over the top blow your socks off amazing. The fun, the worship, the authenticity and insane talent are all there. Even the set up with it looking like a lawn you sit on was so clever and fun. My 10 and 7 year old loved how fun and kid friendly everything with Forrest Frank and The Figs was. If I were rating the other artists with him (Cory Asbury and Tori Kelly; I’d give Tori a 2 star and Cory a 3 star. They just don’t offer a personal likability or much interest to the music set. My husband, myself and my kids all were interested in them.) It also takes a long time for Forrest Frank’s portion to start because they do Tori Kelly and a call for child sponsorship along with an intermission time before he even comes out. Wish we could have skipped a little more or the starting stuff.

This was hands down the best show I have been to! Sleep Token is my favorite artist so I am biased, but my husband is not as big of a fan and he even said it was the best show he has ever been to. The set was so cool and the light show was beautiful. Vessel sounded great, the same or better than in the recorded album. I loved that they changed each track slightly from the recorded studio album tracks. We were sitting at the highest level (C level) at the Moda center and the view was still decent and the sound was great. The line was long to enter the building but it moved quickly once the doors opened so we were only waiting outside for around 15 minutes. The food and beverages are expensive but that was to be expensive. The seats are a little cramped but not too uncomfortable to sit in for a few hours. It was not a bad experience at all.

I have seen Trent and every iteration of Nails since their very first gig! During the With Tour, my Husband and I got very accustomed to attempting to make as many shows in each tour as we could! The shows were (and are still) that incredible !! They are steeped in every emotion, that is different for everyone and differs from performance to performance! All are expected to be a completely mind-blowing experience. This time around, in Portland at Moda Center, the show would involve two stages; A & B. The show begins on A, spontaneously moved to B for some electronic and piano and “remixed” versions of early compositions; which were amazing! He also played the first single from the Tron: Ares Soundtrack, which he and Atticus Ross wrote and Produced. An early release! This tour also saw the return of favored drummer from the WT tour era, Josh Freese (about which everyone screamed and roared of his return through every great song! Trent just turned 60 in May, however you’re not likely to ever see him playing in any casinos soon (he’s still plenty himself.

I am 74 years old and I have been to a lot of shows. My first was The Beatles in NOLA IN 1964! Hozier was incredible! I not only love his music but his support for social issues including the LGBTQ community, Womens’s rights and his anti war stand made my heart sing! He managed to get his music and his message across and it was amazing! His small stage in the middle of the arena, set up near the end of the show for 2 acoustic songs, was a real highlight for me! The light show and graphics were beautiful and so on point. The audience was great and true Hozier lovers. Sure hope I get to see him again soon. I highly recommend attending one of his shows for an enlightening and wonderfully entertaining experience. It was truly one of a kind.

Billie Eilish is a Rad Human and more people in this world need to be like her and follow her way of being and maybe we would have a Brighter future. If everyone one did just one pledge or change in there life this World would be Better off. Billie and her team put on a Fantastic show and involved everyone from the floor to the nose bleeds. She really cares about every human and is truly greatful and thankful for her Fans and it Shows in her show. Thank you Billie for including all of us and making everyone fill welcome and included.

Amazing show from start to finish! Spiritbox light setup wasn’t my favorite but their set was solid. Gojira came out and destroyed with an amazing set, and stage show. Korn always brings it and there was no exception to this show! Loved every song they played and knew the words to almost all the songs they played. Loved the stage show and it seemed like Jonathan was getting a little emotional and could the feel the bands energy in with how awesome the crowd was for the band. All in all very pleased and will definitely see all 3 bands again.

It was a magical Korn show rocking the 30th anniversary with my brother, my Lady, & my young friends first Korn show. Everyone was loving it so hard on the rail and Korn was having a blast too. Had to sell my car to go to this show but had such an amazing time with people closest to me. Amazing experience for Korn as aways. Looking forward to the 18th Korn show next time. The Korn VIP portion was the absolute worse value of any show I've ever been to unfortunately though. The actual concert made up for it. Spirit box and Gojira where really good as well. Till next time Munky, your Dreaded NW Fan Jeff

Jelly Roll was amazing. So was his openers, Alexandra Kay & Warren Zeiders. My favorite song Alexandra Kay performed was "All I've Ever Known". What made it amazing, Alexandra Kay did not have a record label and was a completely independent artist, and she did it all on her own. My favorite Warren Zeiders song he did was "Heartbreaker", "Pretty Little Poison", and "Ride the Lighting". My favorite Jelly Roll song he performed was, "I Am Not Okay", "Son of a Sinner" "Need A Favor", "Save Me", "Halfway to Hell", "Bottle and Mary Jane". I recommend everyone to get their tickets to go see Jelly Roll in concert. The Jelly Roll concert was one Hell of a concert. I loved when Jelly Roll said he was going to Oregon State Prison, and give a speech at the prison and sing a few songs maybe for the prisoners, and try to change their life around like Jelly Roll did.

This was my 7th PTV show. I have been a fan since 2007. One of the reasons that I have seen them so many times is that they put on an incredible show. I have to say, this is the best they have ever sounded. Vic's vocals were so strong and the band sounded incredible. I have to say, I think it's time for Lionel to become a permanent member of the band. I've seen him play with the band 3 times now and he is amazing. Loved the drum solo! I really need them to do another headline tour and play for longer if they can. I know not everyone can perform as long a TSwift but I know that the long term fans like myself, would love to hear even more of their older music with their new music.

I'm giving 4 stars because Falling in Reverse and Kim Dracula both put on amazing shows. They rocked the stage and were great performers. A7X broke my heart. They are one of my favorite bands and I understand that they are used to bigger louder crowds then Oregon provides but that doesn't mean that the people who did show up to rock with them didn't deserve respect. They walked off stage and didn't say goodbye. There was no encode. It was disheartening. The fans that showed up know there is a lack of rock fans in the area and we hate that too. It affects the rock shows we get here. Our hearts are in it all the same. I hope they come back with a different perspective. Rock on 🤘

These guys were a lot better than I thought they were going to be, but as a huge stickler for production value and all things related to such, there were a couple things I would advise these guys to work on, one simple, one not so much. For one, while I was sitting in my seat, I realized that the logo on the scrim was their band logo. I realized that I had unconsciously assumed that it was the logo for a cell provider. They really need to get a new font for their logo. For the namesake and sound they’re going for, I would recommend something wispy or something like that. As for the second bit of advice, this is the one that really brings the experience down for me: the singer chick is really good, but her act comes off incredibly contrived. It’s so obvious that it makes me almost not like them, and I think that’s terrible. From The second she walked onstage, I got the feeling that she’s probably the kind of person who’s a pain in the a*s in real life. Her movements come off as someone who’s watched a bunch of videos of female metal vocalists and “knows” the moves, but since it’s obvious that she’s not just being natural, they’re very evidently robotic and, again, contrived. It also comes across through her attempts at humor. I could go on, but I really, really wish she would drop the act and just have fun, because it brought their whole set down for me. Good music, even though it’s not my thing, it’s still really good. But dude, please get a new logo and stop with the contrived stage presence.

Absolutely wonderful night. We had dinner at metropolitan tavern and then caught the end of Willow’s show. It was going well and were excited, but pretty low key evening up until that point. Once Avril got onstage the whole night flipped - it was on!!! My favorite star across all genres turned all our nights into one to remember. It was a tear jerker at the end of her set with all the lights out during ‘I’m with You’ with everyone waving their phones. Me and my wife and another couple of our best friends just went nuts and continued the excitement into MGK. My best friend’s wife even (she is also my best friend too) even touched MGK’s shoulder as he came and sang part of a song near our seats. Her face was hysterical - such a wild moment I can’t even put into words. Wonderful epic night and now I get to go back and look through videos on my phone and pictures and share with friends and get to relive the night. Thank you Avril and MGK!!!

Our seats in 31 & 32 C on the Floor were AMAZING!!! Not only did we have room to dance & sing (not as fabulous as he did!!) we had a perfect view of the entire set and of the stadium. And can Justin Bieber bring it, my gawd 🌋!! His voice was on point, he did a bunch of his hits , and he is fine as ever!! My only negative (I guess? I look at it as a free styling tip lol) comment would be to Justin himself : GET RID OF THE SHORT ZIPPY!! That zip up shirt does NOT do anything but make you appear like your stylist suddenly decided you were a dwarf?! I personally was hoping for a reappearance of the “Purpose” attire. Justin you are way to fine for that short shirt so stop it. 😍

Queensryche singer, LA Torre Killed it! Bringing back memories with The Warning and Take Hold of the Flame. My best friend, Leif and I used to crank that album on his stereo in OC 1984. We were 17. Last time I was at the Judas Priest concert was a few years back in Portland with Uriah Heep. Leif battled diabetes for many years...when Heep finished we had to go to medical and then to the hospital. We didn't get to see Priest. This time was bittersweet. My brother, Jimmy, my friend Randy and my bros friend Pete were ready to rock! We dedicated the show to Leif who passed away at 54 due his battle with diabetes. We were best friends 37 years...when Halford came out with his, "Hello you Heavy Metal Fan"and Faulkner and gang shredding it, we knew we were in for a treat. 50 years of Priest led to songs from the new- Lightning Strike and A Touch of Evil, Invader to Turbo Lover and going back with Rock n Rolla and Victim of Changes...Awesome! Desert Plains was one of mine and Leifs favorites...playing the air drums every time. Special place in my heart for that one...Finishing the night with, Livin after Midnight. Great times, great friends and great show....miss you my friend

I've seen better setlists from them, but they could play just about anything from their entire catalog and I'd be happy, so it doesn't matter. They seemed like they were having fun, and the crowd was good, which is a huge relief because I've been in some bad ones recently. Lots of singing along, headbanging, dancing (I've seen better, but I've seen a lot worse too). But most importantly, I was surrounded by good people that understood the culture of the pit. It only takes a few assholes to ruin everything. There were only two fights in my area and security broke them up quickly. Someone choked a woman a little bit behind me (this was between sets, so it wasn't an accident) and everyone around her defended her. This is why I love Oregon and Washington crowds, we don't tolerate that b******t. So yeah, this was one of my favorites. But I'm not surprised, Korn dominates the top of my list because they're unique and sincere, they put a lot of effort into their performances, and most of their fans are some of the best people I've ever met. I always end up meeting at least one person that I could easily build a long friendship with. The best part was finally seeing Faget up close. The last time I saw it I wasn't able to get on the rail. Being on the rail changes everything for me because I'm only 5 feet tall. Anyway, the security guard in front of me had never seen or worked a Korn concert before, but he didn't even flinch when all of us screamed those lyrics in his face. The security team was good, they were fair and alert.

It was awesome. One of the best I have seen..my only complaint is that if they are going to do a standing only area put it off to the side a little or at least bring a walkway out so the people in the seats can have the artists come closer. I have a replaced knee and can no longer stand through the whole concert and I was in the third row , we stood and danced through most of it, but could not get great pictures or anything. Oh and I am a bootlegger, I did appreciate the special merchandise booth. Roxana

I have had time to think this out so here it goes: The staff at the Moda Center must have been exhausted from working the night before with Marilyn Manson & Rob Zombie because they couldn’t even direct me to the floor GA seating properly. I was told that In This Moment went on directly at 7:30pm/PT and I got to the GA section at 7:50pm and had about 20 minutes of their performance left and that was it. No encore. Nothing. Why am I giving this 5 stars??? Because despite the fact that I paid over $200 for two tickets (one that was given as a gift to a person that chose to go without me. Their loss. Haha.) for GA entry...the stage and the props and Maria and the boys literally blew the roof off of the Moda Center in that time I was there made it worth it! I had seen her for free at the Iron Horse , back home in South Dakota at the 76th Annual Rally in Sturgis. So I just made it up in my head that I gave her $200 for that night in 2016 and the 20 minutes last night. Maria, thank you for being an inspiration for metal women all over the world. Best 20 minutes I’ve ever spent $200 on. Major f**k you to the person that chose to use me for a free ticket. I won’t be stupid to fall for someone’s guilt trip again. That’s for sure.
